An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Dustin agreed with what Felicia had said.

He had expected Nathaniel to use the situation as an excuse to make things difficult for him. Or perhaps put him under house arrest and keep him from leaving.

But to his surprise, Nathaniel did nothing. He even offered Dustin one of the top beauties on the Beauty Ranking.

It was clear that he was trying to establish a friendly relationship. Whether there were other motives behind this gesture didn’t matter for now. As far as Dustin was concerned, this outcome worked in his favor.

“Forget it. Let’s talk about it later, ” Dustin said.

He didn’t dwell on it and left the mansion with Felicia. Time was running out, and he couldn’t afford any delays.

He had to follow Grace’s plan and use the Dracan essence to boost his cultivation before the two royal gods of the Hall of Gods arrived.

Dustin leaned against the plush seat of a sleek luxury car. His gaze was fixed on the blur of scenery outside the window with a tense expression.

Felicia, dressed in red, gracefully sat beside him. She tilted her head slightly and looked at him with hesitation and expectation.

“Mr. Rhys,” she said softly, “I have nowhere to go now. From now on, I’ll follow you.”

Dustin frowned upon hearing that and glanced at her.

She had lowered her head, and her long lashes cast shadows over her face. Her rosy lips were pursed in an almost pitiful expression.
