An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Just as Alicia was about to be struck down by Brian’s deadly palm strike, a silver needle suddenly hit his wrist with precision.

The force of the impact caused him to stagger backward several steps. Then, a wave of excruciating pain surged through his arm. His body trembled uncontrollably and left him momentarily incapacitated.

“Crap!” Brian cursed. He quickly yanked the silver needle out from his wrist, which eased his pain slightly.

“Alicia, run!” Aurora shouted.

Freed from his grasp, Alicia snapped out of her daze and bolted at full speed.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Brian, now recovered from the pain, refused to give up.

With a sudden burst of speed, he transformed into a blur and lunged toward her. Even if he was going to die, he was determined to take her down with him.

“Bastard! How dare you!” Fenley’s eyes widened in fury upon seeing that. He immediately propelled himself into the air, then delivered a palm strike toward Brian from above.

The air erupted with a thunderous boom. Suddenly, a colossal illusory image materialized behind Fenley. It radiated a commanding presence that set shivers down on everyone’s spine.

When he thrust his palm downward, the colossal illusory image mirrored his movement instantaneously. In a flash, the energy surged, and debris scattered.
