Chapter 1432 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Looking at the wound, it was clear that the cut was deep. If it were an ordinary person, they probably couldnât help but scream.
However, Elara remained expressionless throughout. She didnât even furrow her brow. It was as if the blade didnât touch her. This woman was undoubtedly a fierce warrior!
âGive me the medicine!â Elara stepped onto a chair. She tore off half of her pants, revealing a well-toned thigh that combined strength and beauty.
She scooped out some ointment from a jar and casually applied it to the wound.
Then, something magical happened. In just half an hour, the bleeding from the wound had stopped. The cold and numbing sensation made Elara, who had been emotionless, finally show a trace of surprise.
As a grandmaster martial artist, she could naturally feel the subtle changes in her body. She had to admit that this ointment was truly extraordinary. After about half an hour, Elara wiped the remaining ointment away with a towel.
The previous wound had mostly healed, leaving only a faint red mark. It was fresh, new skin.
âMs. Elara, do you believe it now?â
Dustin smiled.
âYes,â Elara nodded, holding her sword and silently retreating to the side, not speaking further.
âMr. Dawson, what do you Dustin shifted his gaze. think?â
âItâs truly a fantastic item!â Bo beamed. âI may not be interested in money, but for the family business, I need to make some effort. About this Dew Balm, how do you propose we collaborate?â
Dustin laid out the terms. âIn terms of production, Iâve already partnered with the Camron family. Mr. Dawson, your role will be sales and promotion. We will utilize the Dawson familyâs connections and influence to turn Dew Balm into a blockbuster product.â
He added, âAs for the profit distribution, we can go with a forty- thirty-thirty split. The Dawson family takes forty percent, and the Camron family and I each get thirty percent. What do you say?â
âI thought youâd be more demanding, but youâre quite fair.â Bo chuckled.
With the Dawson familyâs influence, they could easily secure a forty percent share. However, hearing it from Dustin was another matter.
âIn business, fairness and honesty matter. The Dawson family has contributed the most, so naturally, they should get the lionâs share.â
Dustin smiled.
âRight, I like your attitude.â Bo nodded in satisfaction. His face lit up even more, and the intense look in his eyes made Dustinâs skin crawl. Was he seriously suggesting something inappropriate?
âMr. Dawson, Dew Balm may not have a smooth path ahead. We have two competitors to watch out for. I hope youâre prepared.â Dustin wisely changed the subject.
âOh? Who dares to compete with the Dawson family?â Mr. Dawson raised an eyebrow.
âThe Welch family and the Swanson family from the Eight Great Families,â Dustin briefly recounted the situation.
âI see. With the ethics of the Welch and Swanson families, itâs not surprising theyâd resort to such low tactics.
âBut you donât have to worry about the market. Our product is good and affordable, and with my familyâs connections and influence, we can easily outshine them,â Bo assured him.
âWith your words, Mr. Dawson, Iâm at ease.â Dustin nodded.
âDustin, if you stick with me, you wonât be treated unfairly. I promise you a life of luxury and extravagance.â Bo placed his hand on Dustinâs shoulder, giving it a meaningful pat.
Dustin froze, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This was supposed to be a business talk. Why was it suddenly taking an unexpected turn?
âDustin, I must say youâre a good- looking man, with that flawless skin and all. Fits right into my tastes,â Bo commented.
âOnce you accept a few conditions of mine, I assure you, a life of luxury and endless pleasures will be at your disposal.â
Boâs gaze roved up and down, filled with a fiery desire as if he were appreciating a fine piece of art. Dustin found himself in an awkward and nerve-wracking situation.
âThis is not how I envisioned this business meeting,â he muttered to himself, feeling his skin crawl.
