An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1181
Seriously! Is this guy crazy? Is that how he talks to Lance?” “The kid is pretty rude, doesn’t he? He
doesn’t seem to realize how serious the situation is.”
“Can you believe it? A martial artist from a small guild challenging the chief senior disciple of the Soul
Reapers? He’s just looking for trouble!”
Dustin’s words caused a stir in the crowd. The martial artists were pointing and talking, and everyone
stared at Dustin as if he were a fool. They wondered if it would be wiser to back down in the face of
such a capable fighter as Lance.
Dustin could have shown some respect and used polite words, even if it made him uncomfortable. That
would have been safer than provoking Lance when he clearly couldn’t win.

Josie frowned. She didn’t want to escalate the situation, but Dustin’s words had only made things
worse. It wasn’t her problem anymore. But now, the reputation and honor of the Soul Reapers was at
stake.
“Mr. Rhys, he’s the Soul Reapers’ chief senior disciple. We can’t afford to offend him. You better
apologize, or we’ll be in serious trouble,” Lyn whispered. She was visibly worried.
Dealing with Josie was difficult enough for them. Now that the fearsome Lance was involved, it would
only get worse.
“Kid, what did you just say? I didn’t quite catch it. Can you repeat that?” Lance’s eyes narrowed, and
his expression darkened. No one had shown him such disrespect since he became famous.
“You didn’t hear me? Alright, I’ll say it again,” Dustin replied calmly. “I said, even your leader, Graham
Thorne, wouldn’t dare talk to me like that. Who do you think you are?”
Upon hearing that, Lyn visibly paled. They were now in a predicament from which there was no way
out. “Hey! Are you insane, kid? Are you trying to get us killed?” Even the overly confident Toddy was
shocked. After his fight, he realized the stark difference between major and minor guilds.
“Looks like he won’t get it until he feels the pain,” Josie shook her head. She knew Dustin’s words not
only humiliated Lance but also infuriated the entire Soul Reapers.
“Brat! You’re asking for it!” Lance couldn’t restrain himself any longer. He pounced on Dustin and
wanted to tear him to pieces with his hands in front of everyone.
In the face of the sudden attack, Dustin remained composed and shot a silver needle with a flick of his
finger.
As Lance charged forward, he felt a sudden numbness in his knee. His body involuntarily tumbled to

“What?”
Everyone was shocked and trying to process the sudden turn of events. No one had expected the
highly regarded chief senior disciple of the Soul Reaper to fall in front of everyone. How embarrassing.
“Lance, what are you doing?” Josie’s lips twitched with an awkward expression. Lance stood up,
looking disheveled. Upon closer inspection, he discovered a silver needle lodged in his knee.
“Damn it!” He pulled out the needle and crushed it. He glared angrily at Dustin. “You actually dare to
fuck with me?”
“If you come at me again, I won’t hold back,” Dustin said calmly. “Fuck you! You’re going to pay for this,
Lance roared in frustration. Somebody bring me my spear!”
