Chapter 1933 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Ryanâs experience inside the oasis was like a never-ending nightmare. Just the thought of it sent shivers down his spine, and he lacked the courage to venture back inside.
âWhat is there to fear? With me around, nothing would hurt you. No matter how dangerous it is, I can keep you completely safe,â Aidan declared confidently.
âMr. Ridge, please donât take the oasis lightly,â Ryan said, shaking his head.
âWe only roamed the outskirts for a while but already encountered various dangers that resulted in injuries and casualties.
âThe inner areas remain unexplored, but I can assure you that the deeper you venture, the more dangerous it becomes. The monsters also grow stronger, and even grandmasters should proceed with caution.â
âKid, arenât you exaggerating a bit? Youâre just a divine-level martial artist and may not fully grasp the true strength of a grandmaster.â
Aidan continued dismissively, â Besides, Iâm not your average grandmaster. I can deal with a few monsters within minutes.â
âI have no doubt about your abilities, Mr. Ridge. However, there are too many uncertainties within the oasis, so you will still need to be careful,â Ryan cautioned.
âForget it. It seems like youâve had quite the scare. I wonât press you. Just draw me a map of the routes and everything youâve observed. It might come in handy sometime.â Aidan compromised.
âNow that wonât be a problem.â Ryan nodded. Compared to risking his life, drawing a map was a trivial task.â
Meanwhile, inside a tea house in the village, Yonah and Bran were having a private conversation. The disciples of the Drakes Dominion Order and the Frostwing Sect had formed a temporary alliance because of Dustin.
âYonah, you were injured earlier. This is our sectâs Frostgenix. It has miraculous effects on internal injuries. You should give it a try.â Bran took out a bottle of medicinal pills and handed them to Yonah.
âThank you, Bran!â Yonah accepted them without hesitation. Opening the bottle, he swallowed two pills.
Frostgenix was the Frostwing Sectâs exclusive formulation. It was known to promote meridian circulation and remove blood stasis.
As anticipated, upon consuming the pills, the coursing blood and energy within Yonahâs body achieved a smoother flow.
âIâve asked around. The person who injured you is Dustin Rhys, the masked womanâs bodyguard. Although heâs young, he possesses extraordinary skills.
âFortunately, he doesnât seem to have much of a background, so dealing with him shouldnât be too difficult.â Bran quickly shared all the information he had gathered.
âHmph! I donât care about his background. Anyone who dares challenge us must pay the price in blood!â Yonah hissed.
âHow do you plan to approach this? Are you going to seek help from your seniors?â Bran probed.
âThereâs no need to involve them for such a trivial matter. I can handle it alone.â
âWith Dustinâs considerable skills and the added resistance from Jackson of the Embersteel Order, confronting them directly wonât be easy.â
âThere are many ways to kill someone, and a direct confrontation is the least favorable option.â Yonah shook his head.
âOh? Do you already have a plan?â Bran raised an eyebrow.
âOpen threats are easier to evade than hidden schemes. A little scheming is all I need to take his life. Just wait and see! âYonahâs eyes gleamed dangerously.
âIs that so? Iâll be eagerly waiting then.
âBran smiled.
Dustin possessed talent, skill, and great potential. If they were allies, he could be a valuable asset.
However, if he turned into an enemy, he would pose a significant threat that must be eliminated swiftly.
