An Understated Dominance Chapter 2098 by Marina Vittori

Jasper’s words left everyone feeling uneasy.

Their faces soured at his shameless behavior, an audacity they had never witnessed. Not only was he late, but he also exuded an arrogant, self- important demeanor, making it difficult to stomach.

“Abundant talent and resources? That’s a laughable claim. What notable figures does Glorian even boast?”

Willem scoffed, eyeing Jasper with disdain.

Jasper’s face darkened at the remarks. ” And who are you to question the strength of my nation?”

He went on, “Our nation’s history is long, stretching back five thousand years. We were once a mighty superpower with a vibrant culture that still shines today.

“Over the years, we’ve given birth to many heroes. Even the Dragonmarsh was once under our rule, a testament to our strength.”

Willem cut him off bluntly, “Your tall tales might impress your people, but they won’t work on us.

“Everyone knows the truth about Glorian. Your so-called cultural heritage is nothing but borrowed. Even your prized spiced cole recipe is stolen from Dragonmarsh. What else can you possibly boast about?”

This remark elicited laughter from those present.

Glorian had gained quite a reputation for “stealing” – be it history, culture, or dignity, they seemed to take anything within reach.

What was ironic was their push to claim the stolen goods as their own, even boldly promoting it for credibility.

As time passed, their past misdeeds came to the surface. It even became the butt of jokes in many nations.

Willem’s accusation sparked Jasper’s anger. “How dare you insult my country, you pale simian! I challenge you to a duel!” He couldn’t tolerate the affront to his homeland.

“Duel? Heh… I’m game.” Willem’s voice carried a dark undertone, his crimson eyes gleaming.

“Stop this nonsense! We’re allies. No need for violence over trivial matters!” Bailey promptly interjected.

Though irked by Jasper’s outburst, Bailey intervened to prevent the situation from escalating into a physical confrontation.

The idea of dueling with someone as notorious as Blood Devil Willem seemed utterly absurd to Bailey.

“Mr. Bailey, this isn’t trivial. It’s about my country’s dignity!” Jasper’s tone was resolute.

He added, “Outsiders shouldn’t undermine the reputation of our nation. This pale simian insulted us, and he must be held accountable!”

Wilhem remained composed, casually sipping his red wine in response to Jasper’s strong words.

“Mr. Jasper, do you understand who you’re confronting?” Bailey arched his brow.

“Whoever this pale simian is, I couldn’t care less. He either apologizes or fights with me today. There’s no other way!” Jasper stated firmly.

As one of Glorian’s top three warriors, Jasper was nearly unbeatable in his nation. Even the ruler held him in high regard. With his strength, dealing with a frail pale simian like Willem appeared effortless.1

“Mr. Bailey, here’s an opportunity to witness something remarkable. How about letting Mr. Park and Mr. Willem have a duel? It could be enlightening for all,” Vanzan suggested with a smile.

“Yes! I’m also quite curious about Mr. Jasper’s skills from Glorian,” Noir chimed in.

Shyvan stayed quiet but nodded in consent.

It was evident that the three elite assassins from Eskus desired the spectacle.

“Mr. Jasper, let me ask you again: Are you truly set on challenging Willem?” Bailey asked seriously.

“Of course! I want him to pay for his disrespectful actions!” Jasper declared with determination.

“Alright then! You two will settle this like warriors through a duel. Let your skills determine the outcome!” Bailey relented, accepting the duel.

With his golden spear raised high, Jasper strode confidently into the courtyard, fixing his gaze on Willem.

“Pale simian! Today, I will make you acknowledge defeat!” he declared, his voice echoing through the open space. ” Draw your weapon!”

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?
