An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

“We set the criteria, and they can be changed at any time. Considering Dr. Rhys’ exceptional talent, we should give him special attention,” Alicia asserted firmly.

“Exactly!” Aurora chimed in. “Dr. Rhys not only has remarkable medical skills but also saved Alicia’s life. Offering him a consultancy position is the least we can do.”

At first, she had reservations about Dustin and doubted his abilities due to his age. However, her perspective changed after he cured Alicia.

A young doctor with skills surpassing even Kenan’s was a valuable asset anywhere.

“Alicia, Aurora! Rules are in place for a reason. If we start bending them for one person, how can our faction maintain its credibility?” Brian argued.

He added, “Moreover, only the elders and the guildmaster have the authority to appoint a consultant. Neither you nor I have the power to make that decision.”

“My dad values talent. If he knew about Dr. Rhys’ abilities, he would certainly support us,” Alicia insisted.

Though the Celestial Alliance had many martial artists, they lacked people with exceptional talents like Dustin’s. A skilled doctor capable of miraculous feats was precisely the type of recruit they sought.

“Alicia! You…” Brian’s agitation propelled him to his feet. Before he could speak, shouts and chaos erupted from outside.

Everyone exchanged puzzled glances.

“What’s happening outside?” Brian shouted furiously.

Then, a disciple of the Celestial Alliance clad in blue hurried in. “Brian, we have a problem! We’re suddenly surrounded by a group of assassins.”
