An Understated Dominance Chapter 1173 by Marina Vittori

A loud smack sent Toddy sprawling to the ground. He was stunned and couldn’t get up. “Hey, why did you hit him? Don’t you have any manners?” the girl with the ponytail exclaimed.

She was furious at the enforcement team captain’s unreasonable behavior. She never expected them to resort to violence at the slightest disagreement.

“Manners? We’re the martial arts alliance. We make the rules here!” the captain said arrogantly. He continued, “You second-rate guilds have no right to be here. Now, get lost. I’ll make you regret it if I ever see you again!”

“You’re abusing your power! I’ll report you!” The girl couldn’t suppress her anger.

“Report us?” The captain’s face darkened. “You bitch! You’re asking for trouble!” With those words, he suddenly drew his sword and swung it toward the girl.

She cried out in fright but couldn’t dodge the attack in time. Just as the sharp blade was about to strike her, a large hand grabbed the captain’s arm.

The sword hung in midair, unable to land its strike. The person who intervened was a handsome young man in plain clothes. A gaunt older man accompanied him. “Who are you? How dare you interfere? The captain frowned.

“You don’t just kill for no reason. Are all the members of your martial arts alliance this ruthless?” Dustin asked calmly.

“We have always been like this. Who dares to oppose us?” the captain retorted fiercely. He added, “Brat! Stay out of this, or I won’t spare you!”

“You enjoy flaunting your power, acting like bullies, and oppressing the weak. Because of people like you, the once respected martial arts alliance has turned into a den of corruption.” Dustin shook his head.

“Enough of this nonsense! Get lost, or I’ll kill you!” The enforcement team captain was getting impatient.

“Stubborn fool.”

Dustin pointed his finger at the captain’s chest and tapped him lightly. With a loud bang, the captain was sent flying ten feet away. It was as if he had been hit by a car.

His chest caved in, and blood gushed from his mouth. He convulsed a few times and then lost consciousness.

“Captain!”

The other enforcement team members shuddered and turned their angry gazes on Dustin. “How dare you attack the captain? You must be looking for trouble!”

“Let’s teach him a lesson!”

Several members of the enforcement team drew their weapons.

“Insolence!”

Without waiting for Dustin, Cornelius suddenly stepped forward and waved his palm repeatedly. Then, with just a few moves, Cornelius knocked down all the enforcement team members.

“Well done!”

“These bastards rely on the alliance for support, acting arrogant and ruthless. They had it coming!”

Dustin and Cornelius earned applause from the surrounding martial artists, who had previously been denied entry.

They were relieved to see the enforcement team members get their punishment.

“Thank you for helping us.

Summary An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Dahlia Nicholson and Dustin Rhys had been married for three years. After Dahlia’s meteoric rise to success, she abandons the useless dead weight that’s Dustin, proposing divorce. Unbeknownst to her, everything she had ever achieved was only because of him.

Chapter 1 “Dustin, here is the divorce agreement prepared by Ms. Nicholson. All you need to do is sign them.” In the president’s office of the Quine Group, the secretary, Lyra Blaine, placed a piece of A4 paper on the table. A man sat opposite her, dressed in plain clothing. “Divorce? What do you mean?” Dustin Rhys was taken aback. “Do you not understand what I’m saying? Your marriage with Ms. Nicholson is over. You’re not even on the same level anymore. Your existence is nothing but a smear on the president’s reputation!” Lyra pulled no punches as she spoke. “A smear on her reputation?” Dustin frowned. “Is that how she thinks of me?” Back when they first got married, the Nicholson family was in ruinous debt. He was the one who helped them when they were at their lowest point. Now that they were rich, Dahlia Nicholson was ready to just kick him out. “Something like that.” Lyra jerked her chin toward the magazine on the table. A photo of a beautiful woman was printed on the front page. “Look at the headline on this magazine, Dustin. Ms. Nicholson’s net worth has hit one billion in the course of just three years, a feat no short of a miracle. She’s now the most desired woman in Swinton! With all this, she’s destined for greatness. But you, you’re just a regular joe. You don’t deserve her at all. I hope that you’ll see some sense and do the right thing.” When Dustin remained silent, Lyra frowned. “I know you’re not happy with this, but this is reality,” she continued. “You might have helped Ms. Nicholson when she was in trouble, but she has repaid you for everything you’ve done for her over the last three years. In fact, you’re the one who owes her now!” “Is our marriage just a business deal to her, then?” Dustin took a deep breath to suppress the emotions within. “If she wants to divorce me, let her speak to me herself.” “Ms. Nicholson is very busy. She doesn’t need to trouble herself with such trifling matters.” “Trifling matters?” Dustin was stunned. Then he laughed bitterly. “Is that so? Is divorce a trifling matter to her? She can’t even find the time to speak to me. Truly, she’s that unattainable now!” “Dustin, don’t delay this any longer.” Lyra pushed the divorce agreement toward him again. “Just sign here and you’ll get a car and a house as compensation. On top of that, you’ll also get eight million dollars. This is more than what you’ll be able to earn in your lifetime!” “Eight million dollars is a lot, but…I don’t need it. I will sign the divorce papers if she comes personally. Otherwise, I won’t sign anything,” Duston said coldly. “Don’t go too far, Dustin!” Lyra slammed her hand on the table. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. With all her power and resources, Ms. Nicholson can divorce you easily. It’s only because she appreciates her past relationship with you that she’s allowing you to keep your dignity intact. Don’t provoke her!” “My dignity?” Dustin was a little amused by that. She didn’t even want to speak to him directly to divorce him. What kind of dignity was that? Moreover, if she really did appreciate their relationship, then why was she threatening him now?
