An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1336
“The Iceheart Lotus and the Emerald Corolla,” Dustin listed the herbs he needed. The Welch family
was a notch above the Swanson family in terms of power and influence. As long as they put some
effort into it, they should be able to get their hands on those herbs.
“Young man, you’ve got quite the appetite for good things, haven’t you? The herbs you mentioned are
precious herbs that are extremely valuable! Aren’t you a bit greedy to be asking for three precious
herbs in return for a formula?”
Joanne’s brow knitted together in displeasure.
“I can’t say the same for other formulas, Mrs. Welch. But the formula for Dew Balm is definitely worth
as much. The profit it can bring the Welch family certainly exceeds the value of those herbs,” Dustin
guaranteed.
“Is that so?” Joanne’s gaze on Dustin was sharp as she tried to read his expression. However, there
wasn’t a hint of guilt in his eyes. He simply looked back at her boldly. And that was enough to tell
Joanne that he wasn’t lying.

formula for Dew Balm, and you can leave with the Dragon Panax.
“As for the other two herbs, I’ll need some time. After I manage to get them, I’ll have someone send
them to you. How’s that?”
“Deal!” Dustin agreed readily. “Joaquin, bring the Dragon Panax. Also, get someone to bring us paper
and pen,” Joanne instructed.
“Yes, Ma’am.” Mr. Yaxley nodded before he quickly left. A while later, he returned with a mother -of-
pearl box. He carefully made his way over to them and set the box on a table in the gazebo. Then, he
pulled out a paper and a pen, setting them beside the box.
Dustin walked up and opened the box to see a crimson Panax root. It was about the length of a palm,
with a thick head and a slightly rounded waist. The skin was thin and slightly wrinkly, and its fine hairy
roots were evenly spread out.
When he inhaled, Dustin could smell the faint fragrance that it gave off.
“A precious treasure indeed!” Dustin’s eyes lit up. He could clearly sense the rich spiritual energy within
the Dragon Panax.
“Here’s the Dragon Panax. You may write the formula now,” Joanne reminded. Dustin nodded. Without
further words, he began scribbling down the improvised formula for Dew Balm.
Though its effects were greatly compromised, it still worked miraculously to heal wounds. In fact, its
effects still far exceeded that of the Golden Salve produced at Harmony Healers. Once it was
introduced to the market, it would bring immense profit to the Welch family.
“Here’s the formula, Mrs. Welch. Please have a look.” Dustin gave her the paper with the formula
written on it. “Hmm… Not bad.” After perusing the formula, Joanne nodded happily. She was satisfied
with what she saw.
From what she could tell, there wasn’t anything wrong with it. Of course, she also had the confidence
that Dustin wouldn’t dare to deceive the Welch family.
“Mrs. Welch, I have an urgent need for the other two herbs. Please try your best to search for them,”
Dustin requested.
“Sure. I’ll inform you as soon as I have any information about them,” Joanne agreed casually.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Thank you, Mrs. Welch.” Dustin heaved a sigh of relief. With help from the Welch family, he was
certain they’d be able to find the Iceheart Lotus and the Emerald Corolla in no time.
“Alright, now that we have a deal, all’s well that ends well. Let’s go, Dustin!”
Eleanor had no wish to stay any longer. After bidding her mother farewell, she dragged Dustin along
with her and left. She was not the least pleased with her mother’s actions..
“Ma’am, the Iceheart Lotus and the Emerald Corolla aren’t ordinary items.. Should I contact the
Swanson family to use their connections?” Mr. Yaxley asked hesitantly.
“There’s no need for such hassle. I have no intention to give them to him anyway,” Joanne said lightly.
“What?” Mr. Yaxley was caught off guard, not quite getting what she meant.
Did she mean that… she was going to go back on her word?
“Who is he to demand such an exorbitant price from me?” Her gaze frosted over. Joanne continued in a
calm tone, ” Joaquin, hire some trained men to get the Dragon Panax back from Dustin. It’s such a
precious treasure. I can’t let an outsider have it.”
“Very… Very well.” Mr. Yaxley paled. This wasn’t as easy as going back on her word anymore. She was
outright taking advantage of Dustin in his timeof need.
As expected, nothing good ever came of taking things from the Welch family.
