An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1194“Young man, as long as you join us, I'll make sure to assign you a venerated role.” Woody proposed a tempting offer.

In the Martial Arts Union, a venerated role was higher than an official. Dustin would enjoy a rapid promotion and advance by tworanks immediately.

“I'm sorry, I’m still not interested.” Dustin shook his head once more. Woody frowned at being rejected repeatedly. He didn’texpect Dustin to be this ungrateful when he had been extremely accommodating.

“No way. What is he thinking? He’s declining a venerated role in the union? “Being favored by the union is a great honor, but thisguy is not appreciative! He’s so ignorant!”

“Hmph! What's a young grandmaster in front of the union? They’re nothing but country bumpkins!”

A few jealous martial artists commented on the situation. Most martial artists saw an offer from the union as the highest honorone could receive. However, Dustin declined the offer repeatedly, showing complete disregard for the union. He was tooarrogant!

“Young man, opportunities like this don’t come twice. Are you sure about your decision?” Woody's expression grew colder. Hewas running out of patience. He had put down his pride to recruit Dustin personally. And yet, he wasn’t shown any respect.

“No, thanks. | came to the alliance to challenge the leader to a duel. I’m not interested in anything else,” Dustin replied calmly.“Very well! Everyone has their own ambitions. | won’t force you, then!”

Woody huffed and left the stage. His expression was sour and tinged with anger.“Sir Bolts, sit down and have a cup of tea.” Emery smiled apologetically. He led Woody and his group to a seat in the center.novelbin

Those who sat here were the heads of various major guilds. The lowest ranked was a semi-grandmaster, with a fewgrandmasters among them. For example, Skycrane’s founder, Theodore Crane, and Father Orson, the Abbot of the CombatPriests.

Ever since the battle in the Black Forest, both of them held a grudge against Dustin. They had made an appearance today purelyto take advantage of the situation.

Dustin was sure to be defeated in the duel. Once he was seriously injured, they would take the opportunity to eliminate thethreat.

“Please calm down, Sir Bolts. An ungrateful man like Dustin doesn’t deserve to be recruited. Sir Reeds will personally teach hima lesson later,” Theodore commented slyly.

“Sir Crane is right. Dustin doesn’t follow orders. He would only bring you trouble if he joined the union. It’s better to give up now,”Quincey chimed in.

“Hmph! | intended to give him a chance to live, but | didn’t expect him to be so ungrateful. If that’s the case, | won't care any

longer. Let's see if he survives today!” Woody said coldly, his expression hostile.

The Martial Arts Union was a privileged. organization. It was famous for its ruthless methods. Any martial artist who dared to defythe orders of the union was considered a criminal. They could be imprisoned or even executed. Dustin's actions had alreadylanded him on Woody’s blacklist.

“Mr. Reeds, everyone is here. When will Sir Reeds arrive?” Emery changed the subject.

“Sir Reeds was in seclusion last night and needs ample rest. Sir Williamson, if you can’t wait any longer, you should go back andrest first,” Quincey responded sarcastically.

“Hah ... | don’t mind, but Sir Bolts is a busy man. You can’t make him wait forever, can you?” Emery flashed a sly smile.“I...” Quincey was momentarily at a loss for words. It was true that he couldn't afford to offend someone of Woody’s status.

“No need to wait any longer, Sir Reeds has arrived.” As if sensing something, Theodore suddenly looked up and toward a certaindirection.
