An Understated Dominance Chapter 2187 by Marina Vittori

The man in black didn’t dare to stand his ground. Instead, he swiftly dodged to the side.

At that moment, Number 6’s halberd nearly grazed his shoulder, but it only left a tear on his clothing. If he had been any slower, he might have lost an arm.

She intensified her assault as her speed and strength increased with each strike. Each swing of her blade carried the sound of thunder, which made her attacks unstoppable.

On the contrary, he continuously evaded her attacks. Even when he managed to block, his arms were left numb, and he was forced to retreat several steps with each blow.

With no opportunity for a counterattack, he had no choice but to focus on defense.

“Hey, Miles, didn’t you say she would lose? Looks like she’s gaining momentum and might win.” Ruby watched the fight with growing surprise from outside the battle ring.

Initially, the man in black seemed to have the upper hand. But once Number 6 removed her outer clothing, she turned the tables. Surprisingly, her relentless assault couldn’t be stopped.

“Well…” Miles’ smile froze, and his face revealed some embarrassment. He hadn’t expected Number 6 to wear darksteel armor underneath her clothes.

Her sealed strength was unleashed with the armor removed, greatly enhancing her abilities. It just proved thať predictions didn’t hold up until the very end.

Miles suddenly turned to Dustin with a curious expression. “Hey, did you already know that Number 6 was wearing darksteel armor?”

“Nope.” Dustin smiled and explained, ” I figured a petite woman like her swinging a halberd had to be special. It’s not every day you see women handling weapons like that.”

“Yeah! Why didn’t I think of that?” Miles finally caught on.

When someone was doing something out of the ordinary, there was usually a good reason behind it.

A petite woman wielding heavy weaponry indicated either exceptional talent or extraordinary strength. Such individuals were naturally more formidable than ordinary martial artists.

Ruby suddenly shouted, “Hey! Looks like the first battle ring’s about to wrap up!”

Everyone around them immediately turned their attention to the battle ring.

At that moment, Number 6 had already pushed the man in black to the edge of the ring. He was panting heavily and drenched in sweat, clearly reaching his limit.

In contrast, she remained lively and aggressive. With one last powerful swing of her halberd, she sent his shadowsteel staff flying.

He staggered backward. His foot hovered dangerously close to the edge of the ring as he struggled to maintain his balance.

At this crucial moment, the man in black was defenseless, and victory was within her grasp. But Number 6 surprised everyone by stopping her assault and lowering her halberd.

“You gave me a chance earlier. So, consider me returning this favor. Let’s keep fighting.” She gently kicked the shadowsteel staff on the ground.

The staff shot up into the air and landed right in his hand.

She even took a few steps back to ensure her opponent had ample room to fight, showing her commitment to a fair fight.

The crowd silently admired her gesture. While it was often said that friendship should trump competition, few actually abide by that principle.

Who would willingly give their opponent a chance to stage a comeback when victory seemed within grasp?

The man in black glanced at her, then down at the staff in his hand. Finally, he let out a resigned sigh and shook his head. “You know what? I’m calling it quits. I’m no match for you. I concede.”

Her display of respect had won him over, so he saw no point in dragging the fight. After all, there was no shame in admitting defeat when he knew he was outmatched.

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?
