An Understated Dominance Chinese Novel

Chapter 1896

Ji Yuanzun died, and the Dragon Protection Pavilion base fell.

The entire Dragon Protection Pavilion organization was completely destroyed, and the remaining ones

were just some stragglers who could not achieve success.

Of course, Dustin did not take it lightly. He had already issued an order in advance. Anyone who had

contact with Dragon Protection Pavilion was on his arrest list.

If you surrender, you will be exempted from guilt. If you resist to the end, it will be a dead end.

”Old Dustin, you finally got rid of this scourge, congratulations!”

Adam Spanner stepped forward, kicked Ji Yuanzun’s body with his feet, and only showed a smile after

confirming that there was no breath.

”Thanks to you this time, if your 200,000 White Tiger Army hadn’t cut off Ji Yuanzun’s retreat, maybe

this guy would still have a chance to survive.” Dustin said.

In order to kill Ji Yuanzun, he racked his brains and even risked his own life. Fortunately, he finally

succeeded.

”Actually, I didn’t do anything. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Her Royal Highness.”

Adam Spanner looked back behind him and smiled ambiguously: “Her Royal Highness, you can be

said to be running around here and there for your business. She is very nervous. , and kept urging him

all the way, causing his legs to almost break.”

”Adam Spanner! What are you muttering about?” Margaret stepped forward and shouted softly.

”It’s nothing, I just want to praise you, Princess, for your knowledge and wisdom.” Adam Spanner

smiled flatteringly.

”Hmph! Smooth talk!” Margaret rolled her eyes.

”Your Highness, thank you very much.” Dustin saluted with his fist in hand.

”Why are you so polite? If I promise to help you, I will help you to the end.”

Margaret said calmly: “Besides, Ji Yuanzun is our common enemy. Helping you is also helping myself.

In general To put it simply, it is to eliminate harm for the people.”

”Your Highness the Princess’s righteousness is really admirable.” Dustin smiled.

”Okay, don’t be poor. Although Ji Yuanzun is dead, there are still some things to deal with in the future,

such as Lorenzo…” Margaret changed the subject.

”Lorenzo?”

Dustin raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “My people will lead him into the encirclement. If the plan

goes well, we should be able to capture him alive.”

“For profit, Lorenzo can be used.”

Margaret said pointedly: “Now that Ji Yuanzun is dead and the Dragon Guard Pavilion has completely

collapsed, there are still some affiliated forces remaining. If these forces can be conquered, they will be

of great use in the future.”

“You mean? Say, let Lorenzo be a chess piece, take charge of the affiliated forces of Dragon Protection

Pavilion, and work for me?” Dustin quickly reacted.

“That’s right.”

Margaret nodded: “As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After the Dragon Guard

Pavilion is destroyed, all the major forces in the Dragonmarsh Kingdom will covet its territory and some

interest organizations, and even take advantage of it by force. In the scene of robbery, instead of taking

advantage of other forces, it is better to take it in yourself.”

“What you say makes sense, but I can’t trust Lorenzo.” Dustin said calmly.

Once unfaithful, never a lifetime.

From the moment Lorenzo betrayed him, the two sides were destined to become mortal enemies.

No matter what the reason was, that knife had severed all the ties between the two.

”You don’t need to trust Lorenzo, just control him.”

Margaret said very rationally: “As far as I know, Lorenzo has a wife and a daughter, and has been

under house arrest by Ji Yuanzun. Because of this, Lorenzo Only then will he wholeheartedly work for

Ji Yuanzun. Now that Ji Yuanzun is dead, Lorenzo’s wife and daughter have fallen into your hands.

Now Lorenzo is just a chess piece of yours. What do you ask him to do? , he will do whatever he

wants.”

”I will not harm his wife and children. Although I am not a good person, I will not do such despicable

things. Otherwise, what is the difference between me and the people in Hulong Pavilion?” Dustin said

calmly.

”I’m just making a suggestion. It’s up to you how to do it.” Margaret smiled slightly and did not force it.

Her words were not only suggestions, but also somewhat probing.

For future cooperation, she must understand Dustin and understand the other party’s bottom line.

”Buddy Dustin, your people are here.”

Chapter 1897

At this moment, Adam Spanner suddenly pouted forward.

Dustin followed the sound and saw a fully armed army appearing at the end of his sight.

There are tens of thousands of people in a densely packed area.

These soldiers were wearing black armor and had long swords hanging on their waists. They were

majestic and impressive.

At first glance, it looks like a torrent of steel.

Even from a distance, you can feel a strong sense of oppression.

This army is the most powerful elite in West Lucozia, the Black Dragon Army!

”It seems Lorenzo has been arrested.” Margaret’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

The leader of this black dragon army is none other than Thorian Rhys.

Previously, he led more than a thousand people to break out of the encirclement and led the elite team

of Dragon Guard Pavilion into the trap that had been laid out long ago.

In the end, they were directly crushed with absolute strength advantage.

More than 5,000 of the enemy were killed and the rest were captured.

”Dong dong dong…”

Tens of thousands of black dragon troops are getting closer and closer, and the sense of oppression is

getting stronger and stronger.

Even the White Tiger Army on the city wall couldn’t help but look solemn and secretly frightened.

Rumor has it that the Black Dragon Army is the strongest in the Dragonmarsh Kingdom. Since its

creation, it has won hundreds of battles and made extraordinary achievements many times. No army

can compete head-on with the Black Dragon Army.

Now that they have seen it with my own eyes, they know that the rumors are true.

The strong killing aura in the Black Dragon Army is enough to disdain all armies.

”Brother! The mission has been completed. All the remaining members of the Dragon Protection

Pavilion have been captured, and not a single fish has slipped through the net!” Thorian Rhys took the

lead to step forward and return to his life.

”Good job.” Dustin nodded.

”How are you doing here? Is Ji Yuanzun dead?” Thorian Rhys looked left and right.

”His head has been chopped off, do you want to kill him?” Adam Spanner lightly kicked with his foot.

Ji Yuanzun’s head rolled on the ground for a distance like a football, and finally stopped at Thorian

Rhys’s feet.

”Damn it! Are you so ugly? No wonder you wear a mask all the time to show off.” Thorian Rhys spat on

the ground.

He naturally hated this guy who assassinated his father and brought harm to West Lucozia.

”Ji Yuanzun is dead, all his elite men have been arrested, and the Dragon Guard Pavilion has been

completely destroyed.” Dustin sighed softly.

Ten years of grudges finally come to an end today.

”By the way, brother, there is still this traitor!”

Thorian Rhys suddenly waved his hand and ordered someone to take out the tied up Lorenzo and push

him in front of Dustin.

”Kneel down!”

Thorian Rhys kicked Lorenzo in the knee.

Lorenzo groaned and fell to his knees on the spot.

”Lorenzo?”

Dustin frowned, and his face quickly turned gloomy.

He had always regarded Lorenzo as his uncle, but unexpectedly he was stabbed in the back and

almost died.

This kind of betrayal by a close relative is far more abhorrent than the revenge of an enemy!

Chapter 1898

”Your Highness… Your Highness?”

Lorenzo knelt on the ground and looked at the cold-faced Dustin in front of him, with a very complicated

expression.

There was surprise, there was joy, but mostly there was guilt and self-blame.

When he encountered an ambush by the Black Dragon Army, he knew that the situation in the Dragon

Protection Pavilion was over.

Sure enough, with a counter-intuitive plan, he directly destroyed the Dragon Protection Pavilion base

and killed Ji Yuanzun.

Now, he has become a prisoner.

However, he did not feel unwilling to do so, but felt a little more relieved.

Although he is from Hulong Pavilion, after staying in West Lucozia for so many years, he has long

regarded this place as his home.

Treat many people around you as family members.

Many of the things he did were out of necessity, so he was always very troubled.

He deserves to be in this situation.

”Lorenzo, you didn’t expect this result, did you? Ji Yuanzun lost, and you also lost. What else do you

have to say now?” Dustin said coldly.

”Succeed as a king or lose as a bandit, I have nothing to say. Your Highness wants to kill or behead

me, and I will bear it. I just hope that you will not harm innocent people.” Lorenzo pleaded.

”Do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me?” Dustin was expressionless.

”I am a sinner and my death is not a pity, but my wife and daughter are innocent. They have done

nothing. I beg Your Highness to show mercy!”

Lorenzo leaned down and Bow down and rubbing head on the ground three times.

”They didn’t do anything, but because of your actions, they became guilty. You don’t really think that

your family can be safe after you committed a serious crime, right?” Dustin looked indifferent.

”Your Highness! I’m willing to pay for my crime and perform meritorious service. I can work as a horse

for you. As long as you let my family go, I’m willing to do anything!” Lorenzo Bow down and rubbing

head on the ground

crazily, looking very nervous.

He himself is not afraid of death, but he wants to ensure the safety of his relatives. It is precisely

because his wife and daughter were held hostage by Ji Yuanzun that he did some crazy things.

”You deserve to be punished and make meritorious service, right? Then I want to hear how you

deserve to be punished and make meritorious service?” Dustin asked back.

　　”Dragon Protecting Pavilion is deeply rooted and has a rich heritage. There are three treasure

houses in total within the Dragonmarsh Kingdom, and each treasure house contains a large amount of

gold and silver treasures. This is the accumulation of Dragon Protecting Pavilion for decades. It is as

rich as the country. As long as Your Highness is willing to spare the lives of my family, and I am willing

to tell Your Highness the whereabouts of these three treasure houses!” Lorenzo lowered his head.

”Treasure house?”

Dustin raised his eyebrows slightly, showing some interest.

The Dragon Guard Pavilion has been dominant for many years and has accumulated a lot of treasures.

If they can get all of them, the Black Dragon Army will basically not have to worry about the military

expenses for the next few decades.

”Brother, this is a very good deal. I think it’s worth exchanging a few insignificant people for a fortune

that is as rich as the country!” Thorian Rhys persuaded in a low voice.

”Tell me the whereabouts of the treasure house. If what you say is true, I can agree to let your family go

and give them a fortune.” Dustin said calmly.

”Thank you, Your Highness!” Lorenzo Bow down and rubbing head on the ground repeatedly.

”Don’t be too happy too soon. I promised to let your family go, but I have no plans to let you go. I can’t

forgive you for what you did.” Dustin poured a basin of cold water down.

As a secret agent of the Dragon Protection Pavilion, Lorenzo not only stabbed him in the back, but he

was also one of the accomplices in the Forbidden City incident.

The hatred of killing one’s mother is irreconcilable.

No matter how many achievements Lorenzo made, he could not make up for this crime.

”I understand that I have done a lot of evil and I would not regret dying. As long as I see that my family

is safe, I am willing to die to apologize!” Lorenzo vowed.

He has done so many wrong things and has long been aware of death, but he has no regrets because

everything he did was for his wife and daughter.

”Okay! I believe you again!”

Dustin nodded: “Now, tell me where the treasure house is hidden.”

”I don’t know the specific location of the treasure house, but I know that Ji Yuanzun holds a treasure in

his hand. Picture, and this treasure map records the specific locations of the three treasure houses. As

long as you find the treasure map, you can find the treasure house.” Lorenzo replied.

Chapter 1899

”Where is the treasure map?” Dustin asked.

”In Ji Yuanzun’s underground secret room, I can take you there myself.” Lorenzo said.

”Underground secret room?”

Thorian Rhys narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: “Lorenzo, I warn you not to play tricks,

otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Many buildings like secret rooms will have traps and hidden weapons, and he was worried about

Lorenzo has evil intentions.

”Now I am a turtle in a urn, and I will never dare to mess around.” Lorenzo said with a bitter face.

”Lead the way.”

Dustin didn’t say much. He nodded and signaled to the two guards to lift Lorenzo up.

”Wait a minute, I need Ji Yuanzun’s hand to open the safe in the secret room.” Lorenzo said suddenly.

”This is easy to handle!”

Thorian Rhys suddenly pulled out his knife and chopped off one of Ji Yuanzun’s right hands, then

handed it to Lorenzo: “Here, I’ll give it to you.”

Lorenzo’s eyes twitched. , did not dare to say anything, and took the lead honestly.

Dustin and others followed Lorenzo into the base and finally arrived at the door of the command room.

Lorenzo opened the door, walked to the wall, and then took down a painting hanging on the wall.

Behind the painting, there is an inconspicuous dark grid, which is almost integrated with the wall. It is

difficult to detect if you don’t look closely.

Lorenzo stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on the secret grid.

”Click!”

Just heard a crisp sound.

The entire wall suddenly opened from both sides, revealing an elevator inside.

　　Lorenzo led a few people into the elevator, then pressed the switch. The elevator quickly closed

and then descended slowly.

After waiting for about half a minute, the elevator suddenly stopped with a “dong” sound.

The elevator door opened, and what appeared in front of Dustin and others was a spacious and

luxurious underground secret room.

It’s said to be a secret room, but it’s actually more like a mansion.

There are all kinds of living facilities inside, and there is also a large amount of food and water, enough

for one person to live for decades.

”This should be a nuclear-proof bunker, right?”

Thorian Rhys looked around and marveled: “To be able to build a nuclear-proof bunker for shelter into

such a luxurious look, it seems that Ji Yuanzun has put a lot of thought into it.”

”What’s the use of putting more thought into it? Isn’t he dead now?” Dustin Kate didn’t care.

”Third uncle, please stop making sarcastic remarks here. Didn’t you almost follow in Ji Yuanzun’s

footsteps?” Thorian Rhys said meaningfully.

”This…” Dustin Kate was speechless for a moment, looking embarrassed.

This guy really can’t help but pick up the pot.

If you put on such a good show, you should be considered guilty and meritorious, right?

”Thorian, don’t be rude.”

Dustin pretended to reprimand: “The third uncle put himself in danger and lurked beside Ji Yuanzun.

He went through untold hardships and shouldered all the scoldings just to eradicate the evil for the

palace. You are evil, this is a righteous act, we should admire it!”

“…”

Dustin Kate’s mouth twitched.

Why do these words sound even more harsh?

Chapter 1900

　　”Lorenzo, what are you doing standing still? Waiting for me to take a picture of you? Find the

treasure map quickly!”

Dustin Kate, who looked aggrieved, vented all his inner dissatisfaction on Lorenzo. .

“Immediately.”

Lorenzo did not dare to hesitate, and immediately walked to an alloy door, took out Ji Yuanzun’s

severed hand, and gently pressed it against the sensing position in the middle area.

”Bit!”

Just heard a soft sound.

The heavy alloy door slowly opened inside, revealing a vault made of metal.

The vault is about one hundred square meters, with a large number of gold bricks stacked in the

middle, taller than a person.

In addition to the gold bricks, there are also various rare treasures densely placed around it, each of

which is worth thousands of gold.

”This is Ji Yuanzun’s personal vault. Everything he likes will be stored here.” Lorenzo explained.

”There are so many treasures!”

Thorian Rhys looked around and sighed: “If this is shipped out, it can probably buy a city.”

“These are nothing, compared with the three treasure houses of Dragon Protection Pavilion Compared

to this, the treasure in front of you is just a drop in the bucket.” Lorenzo explained.

”Real or false?”

Thorian Rhys was surprised and delighted: “According to what you said, wouldn’t the treasures of the

Dragon Protection Pavilion be piled up like a mountain?”

“Although I have not seen it with my own eyes, the accumulation of treasures in the Dragon Protection

Pavilion for decades , to describe it as piling up a mountain is not an exaggeration at all.” Lorenzo said

seriously.

”Okay, okay…very good! I can’t wait to collect the treasures of the Dragon Protection Pavilion!” Thorian

Rhys was in high spirits and extremely excited.

”After all that, where is the treasure map?” Dustin Kate urged impatiently.

”It’s right here.”

Lorenzo walked to the innermost shelf, took down a delicate sandalwood box from it, and then handed

it to Dustin carefully.

Dustin opened it and found three pieces of parchment inside.

Each piece of parchment has a detailed map drawn on it. In the center of the map, a golden mark

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

marks the location of the treasure house.

If there is nothing wrong with the treasure map, then as long as you follow the route, you will find the

treasure house quickly.

”Your Highness, I have to remind you that every treasure house will be guarded by experts from the

Dragon Protection Pavilion. Without the personal presence of the Pavilion Master, they will never be

able to open the treasure house.” Lorenzo added.

”The Dragon Guard Pavilion has been destroyed. A few warriors can’t make any big waves.” Dustin

didn’t care.

”Your Highness, my mission has been completed. Can you allow me to see my family one last time?”

Lorenzo asked with a pleading look on his face.

”I’ll give you three days to say your final goodbyes to your family. After three days, I’ll give you a head

on your neck.” Dustin said with an indifferent expression.

”Thank you, Your Highness!”

Lorenzo cried with joy. With a “boom”, he knelt down and Bow down and rubbing head on the ground to

Dustin three times.

Three days were enough for him to settle his funeral arrangements.

On the premise of keeping his family safe, he can still fulfill his last wish.

For him, this is undoubtedly a great gift.

”Albert, take him out and give him the last bit of dignity.” Dustin ordered.

”Yes.”

Albert nodded, loosened the shackles on Lorenzo, and led him out of the secret room.

”He was originally a loyal person from West Lucozia, but I never thought that he would be a traitor.”

Thorian Rhys shook his head.

”Everyone has to pay the price for their actions. If he does what he thinks is right, he will have to bear

the corresponding consequences.” Dustin said calmly.

From Lorenzo’s point of view, there is nothing wrong with whatever he does to protect his family.

But from his standpoint, traitorous behavior like this could never be forgiven.

Chapter 1901

”Yes! One wrong step, one wrong step after another, Lorenzo’s actions are destined to not end well.

Without thinking about someone, there is still a chance to make meritorious deeds.”

Thorian Rhys said, and looked meaningfully Eyes Dustin Kate.

If it weren’t for the person in front of him being his third uncle, if it wasn’t for his father’s kindness and

unwillingness to kill each other, if it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t cause too much damage.

With the other party’s rebellion, even ten deaths would not be enough!

”Ahem…”

After being glanced at by Thorian Rhys, Dustin Kate changed the topic with a guilty conscience:

“Logan, these three treasure houses are of amazing value and are closely related. How do you plan to

deal with them?”

“Of course if they are all brought back to West Lucozia, is it possible that they are still left to those

miscellaneous fish?” Thorian Rhys rolled his eyes.

”We cannot monopolize these three treasure houses.”

Dustin shook his head and said, “It was not we alone that destroyed the Dragon Protection Pavilion.

We also invited foreign aid this time. Any benefits will naturally be shared equally by everyone.”

”Divided equally? Logan, are you kidding?”

Dustin Kate was stunned and became excited: “You just heard what Lorenzo said. The treasure trove

of Dragon Protection Pavilion is accumulated over decades. It is as rich as any country. , you actually

want to share such a huge opportunity with others, what on earth do you think?”

This time, he accomplished a remarkable feat in wiping out the Dragon Protection Pavilion, and he

might be rewarded separately afterwards.

In other words, the more treasures the Prince of West Lucozia gets, the more benefits he will get, and

he is naturally unwilling to give them to others.

”Treasures are good, but they also have to be moral. People come all the way to help us. If we just take

the treasures alone, wouldn’t we become ungrateful people?” Dustin said calmly.

”That’s what I say, but there’s no need to share it equally with them, right? Just give me some benefits.”

Dustin Kate said.

”I have made up my mind. If Third Uncle is dissatisfied, you can complain to Rufus Rhys and see what

he will do.” Dustin said expressionlessly.

”You…” Dustin Kate’s expression froze.

He has never seen such a stupid person, who is willing to give away the wealth he has obtained.

”Third uncle, don’t judge others by yourself. My brother’s heart is not comparable to that of ordinary

people.” Old God Thorian Rhys said calmly.

Although it was a pity, he supported his eldest brother unconditionally.

”Go up.”

Dustin was too lazy to talk nonsense. After closing the wooden box, he led Thorian Rhys and others

out.

In his eyes, gold, silver and jewelry are just external possessions. If you cheat even your friends, the

road will only become narrower in the future.

After returning to the surface, Dustin took out two treasure maps, handed one to Adam Spanner and

the other to Margaret.

”Old Dustin, what do you mean?”

Adam Spanner looked at the treasure map in his hand, feeling a little confused.

”There are three treasure houses in the Dragon Protection Pavilion, and each treasure house

corresponds to a treasure map. There are exactly three of us, and each of us has a treasure house.”

Dustin explained.

”I’ll go! Aren’t you too kind?” Adam Spanner’s eyes brightened.

”If you hadn’t helped me this time, the Hulong Pavilion wouldn’t have been so smooth,” Dustin said.

”Hehe… OK, since your kindness is hard to refuse, I will accept it.” Adam Spanner was not polite and

directly pocketed the treasure map.

”It’s useless for me to ask for this thing. You can keep it yourself.”

Margaret glanced at the treasure map and stuffed it into Dustin’s arms.

”Don’t get me wrong, I’m not giving this treasure map to you, but to the officials. From now on, we in

West Lucozia will need more care from the officials.”

Dustin smiled and pushed the treasure map into Margaret’s hand.

”This…”

Hearing this, Margaret found it hard to refuse.

”Your Highness, this is Buddy Dustin’s wish, so don’t be polite. We will have plenty of opportunities to

cooperate in the future.” Adam Spanner advised from the side.

”Okay, then I will thank you on behalf of my father.” Margaret nodded and finally accepted it.
