An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Chapter 2522

The unrest in West Lucozia finally ended with the capture of Warrick.

Every official who was his accomplice was thoroughly investigated. Those who needed to be arrested were taken into custody, and those who deserved to be punished were executed.

After the purge, more than 300 officials in West Lucozia were removed from their posts. Those guilty were arrested, and those whose crimes were severe were executed.

Under Austin’s iron-fisted reforms, West Lucozia’s government underwent a complete overhaul. Corruption, bribery, and the tangled web of illegal deals were swept away like dust in the wind.

The citizens quickly noticed the difference. When they visited government offices, they no longer faced delays, refusals, or demands for bribes.

Long-neglected public issues began to move forward, thanks to the organized efforts of newly appointed officials. Things were improving across the board.

Instead of fearing the crackdown, the citizens welcomed it. The corrupt officials who had drained the life out of the government for so long had been rooted out by Austin, and the people of West Lucozia couldn’t be happier.

Austin’s reputation soared in the process.

No one had expected the once-disparaged playboy to become such a respected leader.

After spending three days in West Lucozia, Dustin returned to Oakvale.
