An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

During the meal, Nathaniel arranged for two women to accompany Dustin.

Throughout history, even the greatest heroes couldn’t resist the allure of beautiful women. Sometimes, a woman of extraordinary beauty could be far more enticing than rare treasures or high status. 2

Dustin remained composed. He neither showed any enthusiasm nor did he deliberately reject it.

As for the women seated on either side of him, he treated them with polite respect. He enjoyed a drink and the easy conversation with them, but nothing beyond that.

However, Nathaniel saw it differently. To him, it seemed that Dustin was unimpressed by the women at his side.

Considering Dustin’s background, it made sense. A woman of ordinary beauty would never catch his attention.

Nathaniel realized he would need to pull out all the stops. Perhaps, it was time to bring out his most prized companion and see how Dustin responded.

After the meal, he led Dustin to his mansion’s training ground.

The midday sun blazed overhead as over a hundred soldiers, clad in full armor, practiced combat on the open training ground. Their physiques were formidable, and their skills were honed to perfection.

Their presence was commanding, and it was clear they had been handpicked and rigorously trained to be the best. Any one of them could easily be a mid-ranking officer in any army.

Dustin observed them and noticed that the strength of these elite units was on par with West Lucozia’s enforcement team.

Even the lowest-ranking among them had achieved divinity, and the two leading officers were grandmaster martial artists.
