An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Hank felt a chill run down his spine when he glanced at Jeremiah, the man who killed without mercy.

Even the formidable Dusk Titan and Shadow Prince showed signs of caution around Jeremiah, and it was clear why. If they were regarded as beasts, then Jeremiah, known as The Dust of Angel, was the ultimate beast.

With someone of Jeremiah’s caliber involved, the martial artists of Dragonmarsh would likely face an unprecedented calamity.

“Hank, are you satisfied with these three allies?” Bailey asked, grinning.

“Satisfied? I’d say more than that! With their support, victory in the Combat Tournament is practically guaranteed! “Hank replied confidently.

He used to have doubts because he recognized the exceptional talents of Dragonmarsh. But now, his confidence was on the rise.

After all, the Hall of Gods, the Coven of Blood Eclipse, and the Holy Sovereign Church had deployed their strongest elites. They had effectively united forces from several nations to suppress Dragonmarsh. With this kind of support, victory seemed almost guaranteed.

“Great! With your assurance, I feel much more at ease,” Bailey said with a nod.

He added, “I’m putting you in charge of the tournament. As for our secret plans, they need to go off without a hitch. Make sure everyone stays alert and avoids any trouble in the next few days. When the time is right, we’ll launch our full-scale attack.”

“Got it.” Hank nodded emphatically.

“Why don’t you all get back to work? Don’t interrupt my meal,” Bailey said, waving them off. He then dug into his food with gusto.
