An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

What happened? Just moments ago, Shadowcloak was boasting and swaggering with bravado. But now, he scattered like a mouse at the sight of a cat.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events.

One moment, he was acting all high and mighty, but the next second, he was hightailing it at unbelievable speed. With several figures darting off, it was hard to tell which one was actually him.

“Huh?” Dustin was shocked by Shadowcloak’s sudden retreat. He thought the man was going to rely on his agility to continue the fight.

The quick exit after just two strikes caught Dustin off guard.

“He’s quite cunning.” He chuckled and acknowledged Shadowcloack’s sharp instincts.

His swift departure showed a keen sense of trouble and adaptability without concern for his reputation. He was fortunate to have run away. Otherwise, Dustin would defeat him.

Moreover, thriving in the martial world through deceitful means demanded a certain level of skill and cunning tricks.

“Fine. I’ll let you off tonight.” Dustin shook his head and chose not to pursue Shadowcloak. He was confident in his ability to catch up, but the prospect didn’t appeal to him.

After all, driving away Shadowcloak and resolving Alicia’s crisis was already going above and beyond the call of duty. Further involvement would only invite trouble, especially since this was the Celestial Alliance’s affair.

“What’s going on? Why did that man suddenly run off?” Alicia was bewildered, and she looked at Grace and Aurora.
