An Understated Dominance Novel (Dahlia & Dustin) by Marina Vittori updated 2025-26 - An Understated Dominance Chapter 2246

An Understated Dominance Chapter 2246-Thank you!” Dustin replied unhappily. Originally, his sole responsibility was to save people, but now he must fight like a laborer. He worked so hard all day and got nothing in return. It was such a loss.

“Don’t be so resentful. Show off your heroic demeanor in front of the two beauties. Maybe you can win them over.” Grace said it in a low voice.

“Come on; these two are always in trouble.” I can’t bear it.” Dustin said, rolling his eyes.

“Hey! What are you guys mumbling about?” At this time, the old man in the black robe in front couldn’t help but speak, “I will give you two choices now: either surrender immediately, or all of you will be beheaded!”

“Beheaded? You are so arrogant!” Dustin stepped forward, looked directly at the old man in the black robe, and said coldly, “You just have some body skills. Your real strength is not worth a single blow. “If the man lying there is smart, he can easily deal with you!”

“Arrogant child! What nonsense are you talking about?!” the old man in the black robe scolded.

Dustin said expressionlessly, “Don’t pretend; outsiders can’t see, but I can see your tricks at a glance. If I’m not mistaken, you only practice body skills, and you’ve been doing so for decades. In terms of body skills, you have indeed reached the pinnacle, better than many masters. It’s a pity that your hard work is not enough. It’s easy to deal with ordinary innate masters, but when you meet a master-level strongman, you can only win by deception and intimidation.”

After careful observation just now, the black-robed old man’s cultivation should be at the half-step master level, and there was no real breakthrough.

In terms of absolute strength, he was weaker than Conor. But his biggest advantage was that his body skills were superb, so that the opponent couldn’t touch him.

This way, the black-robed old man could play the role of a hermit, making the opponent fearful and retreating.

This also explained why the breath of the black-robed old man alternated between being real and fake, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. To put it bluntly, it was just a disguise.

The old man in the black robe drugged Conor because he couldn’t win a direct fight, and he used this unusual tactic to make Conor lose his mind and exhaust himself.

“You are really talking nonsense!” The old man in the black robe instantly flew into a rage, as if someone touched his pain point. “Stinky boy!” How dare you question my strength? You are tired of living! If you have the guts, come forward and try. I can kill you with one palm!”

“Really? Then I want to see how capable you are.” Dustin sneered, as if he were not afraid of the threat, and simply walked towards him.

Such a frank action left the old man in the black robe slightly stunned. With the momentum he had just demonstrated, he was in no way inferior to the martial arts master. Normal people would be afraid and hesitant when they met him. He could use this opportunity to rekindle his strong personality. But he didn’t expect that Dustin wouldn’t play by the rules at all. He didn’t hesitate at all and simply came forward.

Was this young calf a newborn, unafraid of the tigers? Or did he have something to rely on?

The old man in the black robe frowned, and for a moment he was a little unsure.

“Hey, aren’t you going to slap me to death? Come on, I’ll stand here and let you slap me without dodging!” Dustin said. His tone was calm, but with a bit of arrogance.

“You don’t know how to live or die! Since you are looking for death, then I will fulfill your wish.” The old man in a black robe was furious. At this moment, he didn’t care to dwell on his thoughts. He flashed forward and slapped Dustin’s head with a palm.

“Buzz~!”

With a roar, a huge translucent palm shadow appeared out of thin air, like a mountain pressing down on top of one’s head, and smashed fiercely towards Dustin. 

After all, the black-robed old man was a master of the half-step grandmaster realm, and he was still afraid of facing the martial arts master. If he faced an ordinary, innate master, he would be completely crushed. Moreover, his body skills allowed him to escape even if he couldn’t defeat him, indicating that he had no qualms.

“Die for me!” Seeing that Dustin did not dodge, the black-robed old man’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the power of his attack became even stronger.

However, just when the black-robed old man’s palm was about to touch Dustin’s head, a protective light shield suddenly appeared.

The black-robed old man’s full-strength attack hit the light shield hard.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang,

The black-robed old man’s condensed shadow palm exploded instantly, transforming into a powerful wind and dissipating. The huge impact also shocked him, causing him to retreat more than ten steps away.

For a moment, his arm was numb, and the blood in his body surged. On the other hand, Dustin still stood there, motionless.

His body was free of dust, as if no impact had struck it.

“How is it possible?!”

Seeing this scene, the old man in the black robe was horrified. He had just used all his strength in his palm and struck Dustin hard.

Why did the other party not feel any pain?

What was going on?

“Is this your strength? It’s really weak.” Dustin shook his head as he looked at a clown.

As expected, the old man in the black robe in front of him was a complete paper tiger.
