An Understated Dominance Chapter 2036 by Marina Vittori

“Stop right there! If you dare to move, I’ll kill this woman!” A stern voice sounded behind Dustin.

When Dustin turned to look, he saw Embersteel Order and Harmony’s Sect elites coming out of the hotel while holding Grace hostage.

Meanwhile, Sophia was pressing the knife against Grace’s neck with a fierce expression.

Dustin furrowed his brow, feeling a strong urge to kill. He could tell that Embersteel Order and Harmony’s Sect’s sudden ambush today was all because of Sophia.

Old habits die hard, that was for sure.

Sophia would have long been dead if Grace hadn’t saved her from Fantasy Sea Alliance. Not only was Sophia not grateful, she even pressed a knife against Grace’s neck.

Sophia had a death wish!

“Why are you still standing there? Put down your sword!”

Sophia hid behind Grace carefully while the knife in her hand pressed against Grace’s neck.

Sophia knew Dustin had feelings for Grace. Thus, he wouldn’t stand by and watch her die.

Without a single hesitation, Dustin flung the Celestial Blade to the ground.

Whether Dustin had a sword made no difference when dealing with people like them.

“Kick over the sword, but be mindful not to be too near you!” Sophia ordered again.

Dustin nodded and kicked the sword.

Celestial Blade slid for several feet along the ground before stopping in front of Sophia.

After seeing that, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Dustin’s few moves just now were way too terrifying. Even the two sect leaders couldn’t withstand it. They would have lost despite fighting him together if he had his sword.

The uneasiness in their hearts diminished slightly after Dustin lost his sword.

“Nice! That’s my disciple, alright! Nice job!” Bertha was ecstatic after seeing the hostage.

She thought she was about to die just now. Unexpectedly, Sophia showed up with a hostage and pulled her out of danger. At that, Bertha felt more than proud of her.

“Master Peach, are you okay?” Sophia asked.

“I still can manage.” Bertha struggled to stand up and stared at Dustin. “He’s quite strange. We can’t let our guard down.”

“Don’t worry. As long as we have this woman, Dustin can’t do anything to us! “Sophia said confidently.

Even heroes had their weak spots. Although Dustin was very capable, he still had a soft spot for someone.

Grace was his weakness.

“Sophia, you have a death wish. Let her go, and I can still spare your life. Otherwise, you’re dead meat!” Dustin said indifferently.

“How dare you threaten me! Your woman is still with me, so you must obey all my orders. You don’t have any right to go against me!” Sophia shouted, pressing her knife harder against Grace’s neck.

“Do you really think you can win?” Dustin narrowed his eyes.

Sophia sneered. “What else? I doubt you’ll dare to mess around now that I’ve taken her hostage!”

“You’ll regret it.” Dustin glanced at Grace and didn’t make a move.

“Chester, I heard that Embersteel Order has a secret technique that can seal a person’s meridians. Please restrain them first,” Sophia declared loudly.

Although Dustin didn’t have his sword, his high cultivation level still made it hard for anyone to fight him.

Thus, Sophia would only feel at ease after Dustin’s meridians were sealed off and his cultivation level was suppressed.

“You two, go and have a try.” Chester turned around and shot a look at two of his sect’s elders.

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?
