An Understated Dominance - Chapter 106

At that moment, in a beautiful villa, Duane was having a conversation with a young man in fancy clothes. Behind him stood two female bodyguards, alert and ready, armed with swords that made them seem intimidating.

“Duane, what’s this gemiphen you’re talking about? Is it really that powerful?” asked Oliver Williams, taking a sip of his coffee.

“Mr. Williams, I can assure you it works. I’ve tried the pill myself!” Duane replied confidently. “A gemiphen pill saved my life when I was near death from internal injuries. I’m not exaggerating when I say this medicine could heal almost anything!”

“Talk is cheap. Where’s the pill? Let me see it,” Oliver said, extending his hand.

“Because gemiphen is so rare, I don’t have one with me right now,” Duane explained.

“Are you joking? You called me here in the middle of the night for a deal, and you don’t have the goods?” Oliver’s eyes narrowed with annoyance.

“Mr. Williams, please calm down. I would never disrespect you. One of my men is on the way to get the prescription. He should be here soon,” Duane said, trying to keep him calm.

“For your sake, I hope he hurries. Don’t you know what happens when you mess with a member of the Boulderthorn guild?” Oliver tapped impatiently on the table.

“Of course, Mr. Williams. Once I get the prescription, I’ll start production right away and bring you the first batch of gemiphen,” Duane promised.

“That’s more like it,” Oliver said with a nod of satisfaction. “I’ll say some good words about you to my father. Who knows? He might help you out if he’s in a good mood!”

“Thank you so much, Mr. Williams! I won’t let you down!” Duane’s face lit up with a smile.

According to his research, gemiphen could not only heal serious internal injuries, but it…

Duane believed the new pill could speed up training for martial artists. If he marketed it well, martial artists around the world would want to get their hands on it. That was the main reason he reached out to the Boulderthorn guild.

Boulderthorn was one of the top guilds in the South, with a wide influence. They had hundreds of thousands of members, many of whom held important positions in politics, the military, and business. If Duane could secure an exclusive contract to supply the pill, gemiphen, to them, his wealth would grow immensely. Being the top player in Millsburg would be within his reach.

“Duane, don’t get ahead of yourself,” Oliver said firmly. “If you want my father’s support, you need to supply us with gemiphen continuously. And loyalty is crucial. Do you understand?”

“I’ll remember your advice, Mr. Williams!” Duane replied, nodding earnestly.

Just then, a loud commotion erupted from the gardens, filled with shouts and cries of pain.

“What’s happening?” Duane frowned, concerned.

Suddenly, a bodyguard rushed into the room, looking terrified. “Boss, someone has trespassed into your villa!”

“What?” Duane’s face darkened. “Who dares to intrude on my property?”

“It’s too dark to see who it is, but we know he’s alone,” the bodyguard reported, trembling.

“Unbelievable! Can’t you handle one intruder?” Duane shouted angrily.

“Boss, he’s too powerful! Our men couldn’t stop him!” the bodyguard exclaimed, desperation in his voice.

The intruder had slipped into the villa like a shadow, moving swiftly and striking with deadly precision. No number of guards could hold him back.

bodyguards couldn’t stand up to him.

With a quick flick of his finger, he sent them flying like leaves in the wind!

“From your description, he must be a martial artist?” Duane scratched his chin, puzzled.

“There are many martial artists in Swinton, but few are as skilled as I am. Most have formed their own guilds and only appear for important events. They wouldn’t invade my property without a good reason,” he replied confidently.

“Boss, now is not the time to think about this. For your safety, you should escape!” the bodyguard urged Duane.

“Escape?” Duane laughed. “How could I ever show my face in public if some random person can drive me out of my own villa?”

“But that man is too powerful! What if…” the bodyguard hesitated.

“Enough! I want to see this man’s abilities for myself!” Duane was not scared at all. He had trained in martial arts since childhood. There was no way he would back down from a challenge.

“Duane, it seems you’re in some trouble. Do you need my help?” Oliver asked, raising an eyebrow.

“It’s just a minor issue, Mr. Williams. Don’t worry about it,” Duane chuckled. “Please wait a moment; I’ll be back quickly after I handle this.”

He stood, gave a slight bow, and left the room.

Chapter 106

Since someone had come to challenge him directly, he felt he had to accept it. To do otherwise would be an insult to all his years of training.

Outside, he spotted a figure dressed in white walking up the driveway to the villa. It was Dustin.

Many armed bodyguards surrounded him, trying to attack. But it was useless. They were like moths drawn to a flame.

With every step Dustin took, the swirling energy around him sent the guards flying away.

They got close enough.

Howls and cries of pain echoed around him as he walked past the group of bodyguards without a care.

“If they were lucky, they only had broken arms and legs. The unlucky ones died instantly when he struck them.

None could withstand his powerful presence.

In the end, Duane’s men could only watch from afar. They didn’t have the courage to approach him. They looked at him as if he were a monster.

As trained bodyguards, they thought this would be easy. Who would have guessed they would be completely beaten by someone they saw as just a punk?

Dustin continued toward the main doors of the villa, leaving a trail of bodies behind him.

Taking a deep breath, he shouted, “Duane, come out and meet your maker!”
