An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Laurel's and Willow's eyes lit up when the handsome young man appeared.

Even though they had gone through professional training and wouldn't be seduced easily, they had to admit that this young man standing before them was too handsome.

He was so good-looking that they were ashamed of themselves. If he was a woman, he'd rank among the top few in the Beauty Ranking.

"Who are you?" Dustin asked coldly after a quick observation.

The Sacred Wrym Summit was different from other places. Here, there were many hidden talents and skilled martial artists. They had to be very careful whenever they were approached by strangers.

"I'm Dalen Shade from Arque Stream. I came here to join in the fun because I heard about the Combat Tournament happening at the Sacred Wrym Summit." Dalen flashed an irresistible smile.

Most of the customers, irrespective of their genders, dining at the tables around them turned around to look at them.

Dalen was extremely gorgeous, and so were Dustin, Laurel, and Willow. They were all good-looking people. Needless to say, these beautiful people caught everyone's attention.

"Arque Stream? Dalen Shade?" Dustin raised his eyebrows slightly and asked inquisitively, "Are you a member of the Shadow Citadel?"

"Oh? How did you know?" Dalen was somewhat surprised.

"Mr. Rhys is a very intelligent man. It's no surprise that he knows who you are," Laurel said proudly.
