An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1273
Over in a meeting room at Zephyr Lodge. Cornelius said to Natasha apologetically, “I’m sorry, Ms.
Harmon, you’re one step behind. Sir Rhys has left Millsburg.”
“Left? Where did he leave for? When did he leave?” Natasha was full of questions.
“Sir Rhys left for Oakvale this morning. He said he had some things to deal with there but never gave
us any details. Oh, right!”
Cornelius recalled something, took out a letter, and handed it to Natasha with both hands. “Ms.
Harmon, here’s a letter Sir Rhys left for you. Before he left, he ordered me to hand you this letter if you
ever come. He said you’ll understand once you read this.”
“A letter?” Natasha took the envelope and opened it. It had a lengthy letter inside.
The general content of the letter was Dustin telling Natasha that he had something important he

take good care of herself.
He mentioned that he didn’t want Natasha to worry about him, so he chose to leave her a letter.
“He’s one to run away quickly.”
Natasha was relieved after reading the letter. She wanted to ask Dustin to go to Oakvale together. But
she hadn’t even mentioned it to him, and he had already left for Oakvale before her. She was surprised
but glad they would end up at the same place.
“I guess we’ll meet in Oakvale, then.” Natasha smiled and kept the letter before leaving Zephyr Lodge.
Since she knew where Dustin was headed, she had nothing to worry about anymore. They would
eventually meet in Oakvale.
On the southern platform of the train station in Oakvale, Dustin made his way out from the crowd with
his luggage. Compared to ten years ago, Oakvale had undoubtedly flourished much more. It was now a
bustling city full of traffic and people, and the entire city was just teeming with activity.
When Dustin reached an intersection, he looked around to see where he was. All of a sudden, a cab
pulled up beside him.
A bald, middle-aged man leaned out of the window and greeted him enthusiastically, “Hey, lad, where
are you headed?
“I’m familiar with the city. Just give me an address, and I’ll send you right to the doorsteps.”
“I’d like to go to Harmony Healers. Can you send me there?” Dustin asked. “Oh! Harmony Healers? I’m
a long- time customer of theirs.
“I can get you there even with my eyes closed!” The bald driver patted his chest confidently. When he
saw several other cabs approaching, he quickly said to Dustin, “Hey, lad, there’s no time to explain.
“Quick, hop on! It’s my birthday today; I’ll give you a 20% discount!”
“Alright.” Dustin nodded and got into the cab without another word. With a loud engine rev, the cab
quickly set out and weaved through the traffic smoothly.
“You’re in luck to board my cab today, young man. I’m not boasting, but in this part of town, no one
drives faster than me!
“Do you know what they call me? They call me Lewis Hamilton!”
The driver chattered as he drove, bragging about his glorious past. Dustin sat in the backseat, watching
the world pass by outside the window, not saying a word.
“Right, young man, why are you headed to Harmony Healers? Are you ill?”
Seeing how Dustin kept quiet, the driver changed the topic, “If you’re there for medical treatment, then
you’ve got the right place.
“Brooke Busch from Harmony Healers is a well-known miracle doctor in the area. He specializes in
treating all sorts of complicated conditions and finds the exact cure to treat them all!”
“Oh? You know Brooke Busch?”
