An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Quincy's eyes widened in astonishment. It was shocking that he wasn't able to react in time to Dustin's silver needle with his skills.

If used against Marco, Dustin might just have a chance of winning. Not to mention, Quincy had sensed the faint aura of a grandmaster through the silver needle that flew by.

He wondered if the unknown young man before him could actually be a martial arts grandmaster.

"Elder Douglas, I think I qualify for a duel now, don't you think?" Dustin asked.

After a moment's hesitation, Quincy eventually nodded. "Alright, since you're this confident, I'll give you a chance. I hope you won't disappoint us."

If Dustin was a grandmaster, coupled with his amazing hidden weapon techniques, there was a good chance that he might just emerge victorious.

"Elder Douglas, is this a joke? You're really going to allow him to duel?"

"Elder Douglas, that kid is just a lone wanderer! How is he worthy of representing Dragonmarsh in a duel?"

"It's such an embarrassment that we're sending someone like him to fight!"

Many among the crowd were displeased with Quincy's decision.

Dustin neither had the background, the prestige, nor the skills to represent Dragonmarsh in a duel.
