An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

While Dustin did not react to Aidan’s invitation, Jackson suddenly became excited.

“Dustin, why are you silent? Hurry up and agree! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!” Jackson prodded Dustin eagerly.

Aidan Ridge was the Sandscale. He was one of the five most powerful martial artists in the Southwest and on par with Jackson’s master, reaching the level of a grandmaster.

Every year, countless martial artists vie to become Aidan’s disciples. However, his disdain for ordinary weaklings, due to his proud and unpredictable temperament, kept him a solitary figure.

Unexpectedly, the proud Sandscale had chosen to take on a disciple of his own accord today.

“Thank you, Mr. Ridge. However, I have no intention of taking on a master. “Dustin declined while shaking his head.

“Young man, I don’t just take in anyone. You should think it over.” Aidan raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Due to his status, there were countless people eager to become his disciples every day. He didn’t expect to be refused outright.

“Dustin, opportunities like this are rare. If you accept Mr. Ridge as your master, the Frostwing Sect and the Drakes Dominion Order will never dare harm you. Hurry up and agree!”

Jackson urged Dustin anxiously.

Jackson believed Dustin must have declined due to his unfamiliarity with Aidan’s strong reputation. Apprenticing under a grandmaster was an enormous opportunity in the martial world.

Considering that Aidan had never taken on a disciple before, accepting the offer meant Dustin would be a true disciple with limitless prospects.
