An Understated Dominance Chapter 167
Two days later, the Hummers' held the official press conference for the launch of Eternumax at the Hillview Hotel.News about it had spread for several days, and with the Hummers' unceasing effort to promote it, there was a great deal of discussion surrounding it. Such an amazing drug with beautifying properties that could also improve longevity drew the attention of countless people.So the press conference, which was grandly decorated, bustled with activity. There was a never-ending stream of guests that made their way in.Right around noon, a silver Bentley pulled up at the entrance of the Hillview Hotel. When the car door opened, Natasha slowly made her way out of the car, her arms around Dustin's.As always, she was the center of attention wherever she went. It was hard for anyone to take their eyes off her shapely figure and alluring face.Dustin, who was clad in a three-piece suit, seemed to have gone through a thorough makeover. He looked handsome and suave, and carried himself

Jessica was frozen on the spot and struggled for words when she saw how humbly Malcolm was seeking guidance from Dustin.She had never once thought that the arrogant and haughty Dr. Malcolm Shane had such a side to him.And most importantly, the person from whom he was modestly seeking advice was the boy toy, Dustin Rhys. It was mind-boggling indeed."I don't think I'm fit to give you any advice, Dr. Shane, but I'd gladly help wherever I can. We can both share our thoughts." Dustin smiled."Sure, we can do that. Now, have a look here…" Malcolm took out the ancient manuscript and immediately dove into it. He started pointing out some of the areas that he had trouble understanding."Oh, this is actually quite simple. Take this for example: Put a hundred different insects into a jar, and let them fight among themselves. After a month, open up the jar, and by then there will only be one remaining insect. The rest of them would have been eaten up by this surviving insect, and this will be t

Looking at the crowd in the hall, Edwin couldn’t help but smile broadly. As expected, everything was going smoothly. Once the product launch was done by today, Eternumax’s reputation would be spread far and wide! When that time came, his aim wouldn’t be limited to Swinton but to market Eternumax throughout the thirteen cities of the South!"Sir Hummer! Congratulations on your launch!" Quentin and his men came up to Edwin, whose face was beaming. "Oh, it’s Mr. Harmon. Please, have a seat," Edwin said pleasantly. "Sir Hummer, Eternumax is really a precious herb! Everyone has been talking about how great it is. Look at the crowd here after hearing about its effects! It's already become so popular that people are coming in droves!" Quentin flattered. "If the product is good, customers will naturally return. Mr. Harmon, you also stocked up quite a bit, it seems like you're going to make a big profit this time." Edwin smiled."It's all thanks to you, Sir Hummer. We're all working

"What do you mean? Can't you speak more clearly? I'm about to make it big!" Quentin rolled his eyes.With the popularity of Eternumax, making a fortune was in the bag. These guys really lacked business acumen!"Sis, did you not remind our cousin not to buy Eternumax?" Ruth turned her head and looked at Natasha."I did remind him, but he didn't listen. I couldn't do anything about it." Natasha shrugged."While there's still time, quickly sell all your Eternumax, even if it’s at a low price. It's better than getting nothing back," Ruth advised. "Sell at a low price? Are you talking nonsense? This is an opportunity for me to multiply my net worth by ten times. How could I give up so easily?" Quentin frowned. "Cousin, I don't think you can increase your net worth by that much. You are more likely to go bankrupt. Don’t you know that my sister has developed a new drug called Immortunol?" Ruth shook her head helplessly. "What Immortunol? I've never heard of it," Quentin sneered."I

At the Hummer family’s press conference, the once bustling hall began to slowly empty out.Initially, everyone was talking about Eternumax, but gradually the conversation switched to another topic. "Hey, have you heard? The Harmon family also held a press conference to launch their product, Immortunol. They partnered up with Mr. Shane, and its effects are incredible! It’s said to be the best supplement ever developed!" "Is it true? Can it compare to Eternumax?""Eternumax is garbage compared to Immortunol! To tell you the truth, my friend's great-aunt just ate one pill of Immortunol, and she jumped out of her wheelchair!""Are you exaggerating?""Don't believe me? Let’s go and see for yourself!"As news of Immortunoll spread, more and more people left to gather at the Harmon family’s press conference. In contrast, the number of people at the Hummer family’s conference dwindled. Gradually, Edwin finally realized that something was wrong."Butler, what's going on? Why did the n

Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the Harmon family’s press conference became increasingly lively. Just when Natasha thought that everything was going smoothly, a scream suddenly rang out from the crowd.Everyone turned to look. An old man had suddenly collapsed to the ground, convulsing and foaming at the mouth. Within moments, he was unconscious."Dad! What's wrong with you? Please get up!" Cried a middle-aged man next to him, panic-stricken."I'm a doctor, let me take a look!" A bald man quickly stepped forward to check the old man's breathing and pulse. With a sigh, he shook his head. "He's already dead.""Dead?" Everyone was shocked by the news."How could this happen? He seemed perfectly fine just a moment ago.""Who knows? He looked energetic; it's so strange that he died suddenly.""Could it be a heart attack?"Whispers and murmurs of suspicion filled the air."It can't be! My dad couldn't have died! We made sure he had regular checkups, and he was always healthy!" The mi

"Ask the old man?" Quentin first looked stunned, then his face darkened."Punk! Do you think I'm an idiot? The old man is already dead; how could you ask him anything?""He may be dead, but his body is still warm. Coincidentally, I have a way to bring the dead back to life." Dustin smiled faintly."Nonsense! Do you think you're a god? Bring the dead back to life? Why don't you say you know how to fly?" Quentin sneered."Who is this young man? How dare he speak so arrogantly?""Yeah! Even Dr. Shane wouldn’t dare say that he could bring the dead back to life. This kid is really too conceited!" "In my opinion, he just wants to show off in front of Ms. Harmon and impress her."In response to Dustin's words, the people around him were filled with scorn.The old man was already dead, how could he bring a dead person back to life? Wasn’t he spouting nonsense? "Whether it's nonsense or not, we'll find out soon enough." Dustin didn't explain further and walked up to the old man."He

When the old man suddenly sat up, all the guests were startled. Some of the women screamed frantically, losing their composure."It’s a zombie!"Shocked to the core, the crowd scattered in all directions. No one expected that the motionless corpse would suddenly spring to life.It was such a terrifying moment! "Dad? Y—you're not dead?" The middle-aged man pretended to be shocked."Yes, I'm not dead." The old man gave a forced smile. His voice was slurred as his dentures were knocked out. Combined with his swollen cheeks, the old man was a comical sight. "Oh my god! This young man could even revive the dead! How could this be?" "No words could express my amazement right now!""What a strange way to treat people! Are medical techniques nowadays getting more straightforward?" Staring at the old man, who was obviously alive and kicking, there was pandemonium in the hall. Some of the onlookers were shocked, and some were curious."Hey, I saved your father's life! Is it to

When Dustin heard Felicia's word, his hand briefly hesitated before he placed the chess piece. He smiled and said, "I thought you came to learn chess, but I didn't expect you to be here as a messenger."Felicia gave a light, teasing laugh. "With a mind like yours, how could you not know why I'm here?"She added candidly, "Prince Nathaniel saved my life and welcomed me as an honored guest. It's only right that I repay the favor by helping solve his troubles. I hope that it doesn't bother you.""You're frank and gracious, Ms. Thorns. Why would I take offense?" Dustin replied with a faint smile.He had expected her to start with pleasantries or try to butter him up. So, her bluntness actually caught him off guard."To be honest, Prince Nathaniel has never taken this kind of interest in anyone before," Felicia said as she placed another chess piece on the board. She smiled and continued, "I can tell he truly wants you on his side. And as someone close to him, I'd like to help make

Nathaniel's mansion was huge. It was more like a maze than a home. Even with a detailed layout, Dustin had to stay sharp as he moved through the grounds. After all, blueprints never quite captured the twists and turns of the actual place.Led by a maid, he followed a winding path through the corridors for nearly ten minutes before finally arriving at a guesthouse with a garden.The place was spacious and quiet, filled with birdsong and blooming flowers. It was a secluded spot that was ideal for privacy."Mr. Rhys, you can stay here. If you need anything, just let me know," the maid said. Her gaze was warm with a hint of admiration. She had watched Dustin's performance in the training ground earlier and knew he was an important guest brought in by Nathaniel. If she could catch his attention, it could completely turn her life around.He waved her off and said, "Okay. You can go now. I don't need anyone to attend to me." "Uh… but…" The maid hesitated."Don't worry. I'll explain

The crowd murmured among themselves as they looked at the broken broadsword and the stunned expression on Lycas' face."That strike was insanely fast and dead-on too," someone commented."I never expected General Derin's secret move to be defeated like that. It's unbelievable," another said."I thought General Derin could turn things around for us, but he still lost," a third added.Everyone knew how strong Lycas was. As a fully developed grandmaster with a broadsword, he was supposed to be unstoppable. However, at the critical moment, Dustin's strike shattered his broadsword.Lycas' loss was sudden and almost unbelievable. Some blamed bad luck and thought he could have won if things had gone differently. But those who truly understood what happened knew better.Even with Dustin's movement restricted and Lycas unleashing his strongest technique, he still pierced through the opening with near-impossible timing. That strike wasn't just lucky but masterful. It was a brutal display
Chapter 2536
Lycas gripped his broadsword with both hands and roared. The sound cracked through the air like a thunderclap.He sidestepped sharply and charged straight at Dustin like a raging bull.The heavy broadsword moved like it weighed nothing in his hands. He swung it with brutal speed. Each arc cut through the air with a sharp, whistling howl, as if it could slice through anything in its path.The broadsword came crashing down on Dustin with bone-crushing force, like a mountain falling from the sky.Lycas threw his full weight into the swing. As the sword descended, the force of the strike stirred up dust from the ground. It sent plumes of dirt in every direction.He knew Dustin was no ordinary opponent. If he wanted a chance to win, he had to make the first move and seize the initiative."Nice form," Dustin said.As Lycas launched a powerful, aggressive attack, Dustin remained calm and unruffled. With effortless grace, he sidestepped without the slightest rush. The broadsword whizz

Bryce knew Dustin was strong, but this was beyond anything he anticipated. Though he had gained the upper hand early on, Bryce still believed his skills matched Dustin's.From his observation, Dustin relied on martial arts techniques and hit-and-run tactics. Plus, he didn't dare to confront Bryce head-on.He had assumed that as long as he found an opening, he could exploit Dustin's weaknesses and defeat him. But when Dustin finally stopped holding back, Bryce realized how wrong he'd been.It turned out Dustin wasn't just playing hit-and-run tactics. Instead, he'd held back the entire time to spare Bryce from an embarrassing defeat.The moment Dustin stopped holding back, Bryce didn't stand a chance. Even without special techniques, Dustin's raw power, speed, and reflexes were enough to crush him.The difference in their abilities was staggering, so much so that no amount of skill could close the gap.And it wasn't just Bryce who was shocked. Except for Nathaniel, who had already

Bryce's request for a fight heated up the atmosphere.Soldiers around the training ground started murmuring among themselves."Lieutenant General Gantz is a legend in our ranks. His combat skills are no joke—he's taken down countless enemies on the battlefield. I haven't seen him in action in years," one young soldier said with awe."Yeah," a veteran agreed. "Lieutenant General Gantz has been through countless battles, and his strength is unmatched. If he steps in, Mr. Rhys might be in for a rough time."After the fight earlier, the soldiers knew firsthand that Dustin was no slouch. Otherwise, he wouldn't have easily defeated the five elite soldiers.But in their minds, no matter how skilled Dustin was, he stood no chance against Bryce.Bryce was a grandmaster not just in rank but in skill, physical strength, and battlefield experience. He was stronger than any expert from the martial world.Nathaniel had once recruited several grandmaster martial artists to spar with them, but

"Your Highness, the soldiers under me are trained solely in killing techniques. If they hurt your guest, things could get ugly," Lycas said.He didn't say it outright, but the message was clear. If Dustin wasn't strong enough, he'd better stay out of the way, or he was just asking for trouble.Bryce didn't say anything, but the look he gave Dustin was full of contempt. How could a pampered young man like Dustin measure up to soldiers who've been through the grind? He figured Dustin was probably some heir from a prominent family who knew Nathaniel and was trying to assert his relevance."You guys are blind to greatness when it's standing right in front of you." Nathaniel chuckled and shook his head. He added, "If any of you manage to land a hit on Mr. Rhys, I'll pay out a thousand gold. But honestly, I doubt any of you have what it takes."At the mention of rewards, the soldiers perked up. Their eyes lit up with excitement. They were practically itching to charge at Dustin and g

During the meal, Nathaniel arranged for two women to accompany Dustin.Throughout history, even the greatest heroes couldn't resist the allure of beautiful women. Sometimes, a woman of extraordinary beauty could be far more enticing than rare treasures or high status.Dustin remained composed. He neither showed any enthusiasm nor did he deliberately reject it.As for the women seated on either side of him, he treated them with polite respect. He enjoyed a drink and the easy conversation with them, but nothing beyond that.However, Nathaniel saw it differently. To him, it seemed that Dustin was unimpressed by the women at his side.Considering Dustin's background, it made sense. A woman of ordinary beauty would never catch his attention. Nathaniel realized he would need to pull out all the stops. Perhaps, it was time to bring out his most prized companion and see how Dustin responded.After the meal, he led Dustin to his mansion's training ground.The midday sun blazed overhead

"This…" Dustin began.He hesitated on purpose and didn't give an immediate answer.Upon seeing him deep in thought, Nathaniel was convinced that Dustin was weighing the pros and cons. He leaned in slightly, his smile widening with anticipation. "You should know how much the Dracan essence means to me," he said. "If I can gather all the essences, it’d be like fate is on my side. My path to the throne would be unstoppable—and when that time comes, your reward will be waiting."As he spoke, his gaze stayed on Dustin as he searched for any sign of hesitation in his expression.Dustin looked up and met his eyes. For a moment, something unreadable flickered in his gaze.He pressed his lips together and spoke slowly. "You're right, Your Highness. But it wasn't easy to find the Dracan essence. I went through quite a few twists and turns. Besides, if I give it to you, it might put me at odds with the other two princes."He paused deliberately and left the rest unsaid. Still, the concern
