An Understated Dominance Chapter 1994 by Marina Vittori

From the moment Dustin unsheathed his sword, the entire sequence unfolded in an instant. The swift beheading of the black serpent left everyone in disbelief.

Even after the serpent’s head hit the ground, it continued to snarl menacingly, seemingly oblivious to the gravity of the situation. It only recognized the severity of its decapitation when the truth finally sank in.

Confusion enveloped the creature as it questioned what had just transpired, trying to comprehend how this seemingly insignificant human had managed to decapitate it.

The royal family held the black serpent in high esteem. They saw it as a divine being that had spent centuries cultivating its power, establishing dominance over everything.

Its path was meant to be unimpeded, and all living beings were destined to be its prey. The creature couldn’t comprehend why it now lay lifeless, defeated by the hands of a mere human.

The massive body of the black serpent convulsed a few times before crashing heavily to the ground. Blood gushed out, swiftly coloring the surrounding area in a vivid red hue, spanning several dozen feet.

“Dead… Is it dead?”

Everyone was frozen, eyes wide with disbelief, as the serpent’s head separated from its body. The shocking sight left them speechless, struggling to make sense of the unexpected turn of events.

Dustin’s victory over the black serpent took everyone by surprise, especially since it happened with just a single stroke of his sword. This formidable creature had proven to be a challenging adversary, even for Aidan.

Everyone couldn’t fathom how a nobody could wield such extraordinary power.

Garrett couldn’t believe what he was witnessing. He shook his head in disbelief, trying to process the shocking truth before him. “No way… This can’t be happening. It’s just not possible!”

He had always underestimated Dustin, thinking of him as nothing more than a scammer in the martial world.

Garrett’s resentment towards Dustin, fueled by his feelings for Grace, had even led him to contemplate silencing Dustin for good.

Little did Garrett anticipate that beneath Dustin’s unassuming facade lay extraordinary power. A power that now instilled fear in Garrett’s heart.

Bran stood there, completely shocked, his voice trembling. “Wait, did I really see that correctly? The black serpent is actually dead, and Dustin took it down?

Just moments ago, Bran had witnessed the black serpent’s incredible strength -a force so formidable that even hundreds of people couldn’t make a scratch on it.

Even Aidan, also known as Sandscale, had suffered serious injuries from the serpent’s attack. Simply surviving an encounter with such a terrifying creature was considered fortunate in itself.

Yet, Dustin not only survived but managed to slay it.

Bran found it hard to grasp the fact that a young, unknown young man had single-handedly killed the fearsome black serpent. If he hadn’t witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t believe such an extraordinary event could occur.

“Wait, seriously? Dustin took down that black serpent, the one even Mr. Ridge struggled with.

“Is he, like, already a grandmaster martial artist?” Yonah exclaimed. His face displayed sheer shock, with cold sweat trickling down.

Yonah had seen the black serpent seriously injure Aidan, but it met its end at Dustin’s hands.

This not only indicated Dustin’s strength surpassing Aidan’s but also hinted at Dustin having achieved grandmaster martial artist status.

The idea of a young grandmaster in his early twenties, unparalleled in the entire southwest, was hard for Yonah to fathom. He wondered, “Who is this guy, damn it?”

Recalling his earlier intention to confront Dustin, Yonah couldn’t help but shudder. Had Yonah provoked Dustin, he might be dead already.

“This brat… he’s good at masking his strength.” Aidan frowned, his face displaying a serious demeanor.

Moments ago, the black serpent had dealt him a severe injury. He had somewhat underestimated the enemy, and victory seemed unlikely despite his utmost efforts.

However, Dustin effortlessly defeated the ferocious black serpent with a single sword stroke, showcasing unparalleled strength. What added to Aidan’s sense of intimidation was Dustin’s youthful prowess.

Aidan’s realization struck suddenly, and his eyes widened. “Could it be… him?” he muttered.

His pupils narrowed, and his breath quickened as he connected the dots. The sword aura that Dustin unleashed resembled the one that severed the golden vine the night before.

The revelation hit Aidan like a tidal wave. He pondered the mysterious elder who had aided him the previous night-was it Dustin all along?

His thoughts spun into chaos, considering the mysterious elder’s strength, seemingly at the ultimate grandmaster level.

Aidan couldn’t help but question, “Is Dustin the hidden ultimate grandmaster? But… how is that possible? He can’t be older than 30. What kind of extraordinary being is this?”

Jackson was briefly bewildered, but then he jumped up, his excitement evident. “Oh my god! Dustin is seriously amazing!”

When Dustin confronted the black serpent, Jackson believed certain death was imminent. To his surprise, after a few rounds, Dustin managed to defeat the mighty serpent with a single stroke.

The stark contrast between before and after left Jackson momentarily speechless. He mumbled, “If I had known you were that powerful, I wouldn’t have been so worried.”

Sophia gasped, her hand instinctively covering her mouth. “A grandmaster… he’s a grandmaster martial artist!”

Her eyes sparkled with surprise, excitement bubbling within. It wasn’t just shock or disbelief, but it was the thrill of discovering a hidden gem.

Dustin’s charm and strength had completely enchanted her. She recognized the rarity of such a combination and felt compelled to seize the opportunity, even if it meant going against the Embersteel Order.

While the Embersteel Order did have a grandmaster martial artist, he was already in his fifties. In contrast, Dustin, just over 20, possessed immense promise and limitless potential.

The decision between the two options was glaringly obvious.

Grace smirked, acknowledging. “No wonder he’s at the top of the Legendary List. Truly impressive.” She found solace in having such a powerful bodyguard.

At that moment, Dustin stood tall as he brandished his sword with an imposing and majestic presence.

Despite not exuding a formidable aura, he held a powerful and almost mythical presence in everyone’s hearts.

Waving the Celestial Blade to flick off some blood, he then approached Grace and impassively said, “Task accomplished.”

“Great work, everyone,” Grace said with a slight smile.

She then directed Teams Five and Six, ” Now, let’s focus on skinning the black serpent and extracting its innards efficiently.

“The hide is valuable for crafting resilient armor that can withstand blades and the elements.

“Additionally, the serpent’s gallbladder is a potent tonic that enhances cultivation. We can’t afford to waste any part of it.”

Summary An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Dahlia Nicholson and Dustin Rhys had been married for three years. After Dahlia’s meteoric rise to success, she abandons the useless dead weight that’s Dustin, proposing divorce. Unbeknownst to her, everything she had ever achieved was only because of him.

Chapter 1 “Dustin, here is the divorce agreement prepared by Ms. Nicholson. All you need to do is sign them.” In the president’s office of the Quine Group, the secretary, Lyra Blaine, placed a piece of A4 paper on the table. A man sat opposite her, dressed in plain clothing. “Divorce? What do you mean?” Dustin Rhys was taken aback. “Do you not understand what I’m saying? Your marriage with Ms. Nicholson is over. You’re not even on the same level anymore. Your existence is nothing but a smear on the president’s reputation!” Lyra pulled no punches as she spoke. “A smear on her reputation?” Dustin frowned. “Is that how she thinks of me?” Back when they first got married, the Nicholson family was in ruinous debt. He was the one who helped them when they were at their lowest point. Now that they were rich, Dahlia Nicholson was ready to just kick him out. “Something like that.” Lyra jerked her chin toward the magazine on the table. A photo of a beautiful woman was printed on the front page. “Look at the headline on this magazine, Dustin. Ms. Nicholson’s net worth has hit one billion in the course of just three years, a feat no short of a miracle. She’s now the most desired woman in Swinton! With all this, she’s destined for greatness. But you, you’re just a regular joe. You don’t deserve her at all. I hope that you’ll see some sense and do the right thing.” When Dustin remained silent, Lyra frowned. “I know you’re not happy with this, but this is reality,” she continued. “You might have helped Ms. Nicholson when she was in trouble, but she has repaid you for everything you’ve done for her over the last three years. In fact, you’re the one who owes her now!” “Is our marriage just a business deal to her, then?” Dustin took a deep breath to suppress the emotions within. “If she wants to divorce me, let her speak to me herself.” “Ms. Nicholson is very busy. She doesn’t need to trouble herself with such trifling matters.” “Trifling matters?” Dustin was stunned. Then he laughed bitterly. “Is that so? Is divorce a trifling matter to her? She can’t even find the time to speak to me. Truly, she’s that unattainable now!” “Dustin, don’t delay this any longer.” Lyra pushed the divorce agreement toward him again. “Just sign here and you’ll get a car and a house as compensation. On top of that, you’ll also get eight million dollars. This is more than what you’ll be able to earn in your lifetime!” “Eight million dollars is a lot, but…I don’t need it. I will sign the divorce papers if she comes personally. Otherwise, I won’t sign anything,” Duston said coldly. “Don’t go too far, Dustin!” Lyra slammed her hand on the table. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. With all her power and resources, Ms. Nicholson can divorce you easily. It’s only because she appreciates her past relationship with you that she’s allowing you to keep your dignity intact. Don’t provoke her!” “My dignity?” Dustin was a little amused by that. She didn’t even want to speak to him directly to divorce him. What kind of dignity was that? Moreover, if she really did appreciate their relationship, then why was she threatening him now?
