An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Chapter 1323: One Man Show In this moment, everyone was shocked by Dustin’s rapid-fire answers. It was incredibly fast, too fast for anyone to keep up with. Their brains seemed to have crashed, and they had completely lost any desire to compete. What should have been a lively competition among the participants had turned into Dustin’s one-man show. Even the Manager who had been asking the questions was sweating profusely by the end. These riddles were randomly selected, and they covered a wide range of topics. Even with extensive knowledge, it would be impossible to answer so quickly and accurately. If it weren’t for the high level of confidentiality in the Imperial Tower, he would have suspected that Dustin had seen the correct answers and memorized them all. “Th… the last question.” The Manager swallowed hard and read the riddle from the card, “Red, yellow, blue, white can transform; like a phoenix, like a dragon, it’s an incarnation; it travels a thousand miles without stopping, a light breeze blows it clean…” “Cloud,” Dustin once again answered without hesitation. “All… answers correct!” the Manager struggled to utter a few words. He was truly amazed; he had never seen someone like this. “Oh my god! All correct? Is this guy cheating?” “Why is he going so hard? He’s making me look dumb!” “Damn it! I have reason to suspect that this kid is a plant hired by the Imperial Tower!” … After a brief silence, the entire scene erupted into chaos. Although it was just a lantern riddle guessing game, Dustin’s performance was incredibly outstanding, completely overshadowing everyone else. Those who had come prepared had become the butt of the joke. They say participation is what matters, but the problem was that they didn’t even get a chance to participate. “Oh my god! He answered seven questions in a row. Dustin is going all out!” “No, you’re wrong. He got all ten right!” The disciples of Healwell Clinic looked at Dustin with wide eyes, as if they were seeing a monster. “How… how is this possible? How could he get them all right?!” Roselyn widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief. If Dustin had gotten a few questions right, she could attribute it to luck. Now, even if she didn’t want to admit it, she had to acknowledge that he was far superior to her. “Well… well done!” Carlos couldn’t help but burst into laughter. He had been unsure before, but Dustin’s performance had pleasantly surprised him. “This kid is truly a genius,” Elijah stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes shining brightly. Young talents with such extraordinary abilities were extremely rare. He not only had the thought of passing on his legacy to Dustin but also considered marrying his granddaughter to him. “I didn’t expect such a dark horse to emerge halfway. It’s really a miscalculation!” Hazel stared at Dustin with intense focus, as if trying to see something. He was dressed plainly but carried an extraordinary air. His expression was calm, his sharpness concealed, and even after a resounding victory, he showed no emotional fluctuations. Clearly, this was a man with a deep understanding of the world, a master who concealed his true strength. “Manager Kaizen, are there any more riddles?” Dustin asked casually. “No…,” the manager smiled reluctantly, “Sir, you are truly knowledgeable. I admire you greatly. May I ask for your surname?”
