An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

“Your core suffered some damage, but it’s not utterly ruined. There’s still a chance. Rejuvenating your

nerves is even simpler. As long as you stick to my treatment, you’ll regain full strength within ten days.”

Dustin

promised.

Maximus‘ face lit up with joy upon hearing that. He thanked Dustin profusely. “If you heal me. I shall

owe my life to you. Be it scaling mountains or diving into the deep ocean, I’ll do whatever you ask of me

without a complaint!” He seemed serious about his promise. As a martial artist and a geek for swords,

he never had an interest in much else but the pursuit of excellence in swordsmanship. The moment he

learned that his core

was destroyed, he fell into deep despair and even contemplated ending his life. However, Dustin’s

remark

reignited his hope and his will to live.

“Okay, that’s enough. I’m not a sadist. Why would I send you to the mountains and the ocean?” Dustin

helped him up. “Consider it fate that you fainted right in front of my medical center. It was God’s will to

have me rescue you. Get some good rest, and remember not to harness your internal energy in these

two days.”

“Thank you. You’re my savior!” Maximus bowed a few times to Dustin, who said nothing more but wrote

a prescription for Caitlyn and reminded her to prepare the medicine according to the schedule.

At that moment, they heard a deafening crash from the outside. They jumped in shock and hurried out

to check the situation. Two cars–one red and one white–collided on a street not far away. The red

BMW, it appeared, had reversed and crashed into a white Honda, causing the latter to flip. Both cars

were mangled beyond recognition, with debris scattered all across the ground.

Chapter 248

“Help! Please help my daughter!” A bleeding woman clad in white clothing climbed out of the white

Honda. Due to the impact of the collision, she looked dizzy and feeble. At the same time, a young girl

was in the front passenger seat; she had lost consciousness. The girl was no older than eight years

old, and she seemed to be in a critical state because her abdomen was pierced by a sharp object.

The woman in white called for help while attempting to save her daughter, but she failed to open the

car door because it was too misshapen.

“Crap!” Dustin’s face fell, and he jogged toward the Honda. By then, a crowd had formed around the

accident. and a few good samaritans offered help. Unfortunately, the collective strength of a few people

was insufficient to pull the girl out because the Honda was flipped over, and the car door remained

locked.

As the smoke started billowing from the car, the situation became dire. “I’ll give it a try.” Dustin went up

and yanked at the door handle. They heard a crack, and the entire car door came detached, much to

the surprise of the onlookers.

After Dustin pried the door open, he unfastened the seat belt and quickly lifted the young girl to the side

of the road. She suffered from head trauma, multiple fractures across the body, and massive blood loss

in the abdomen. The situation did not look good at all.

“Quick! Call an ambulance and get her to the hospital!” someone yelled.

“We have no time for that. I’m a doctor. Let me give it a try.” After Dustin announced his identity, he took

out at gold needle and immediately applied first aid to the girl.

“Get out of my way! All of you!” Right then, two women exited the red BMW. The mother was a plump

lady in her fifties, and the daughter was an attractive woman in her twenties. One could tell that they

were wealthy from their branded outfits and the way they were decked in jewelry, like walking

Christmas trees.

“Hey! Do you even know how to drive? Are you blind?” Jane Engleton, the plump lady, pointed a finger

at the woman in white and started scolding her. “Do you know how much our car costs? One million

dollars! And it’s a new car!” She added, “You have to compensate us after turning our car into scrap

metal! If you refuse, I’ll

send your family to prison!”

The woman in white was taken aback by the ferocity of Jane Engleton and apologized profusely. “I–I’m

sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose. I did not see your car just now.”

“Is saying sorry enough? Do you take us as pushovers?” Jane pressed on. “I’m warning you now. You’ll

pay me what the car’s worth. Add the compensation for mental damages on that, and you’re looking at

at least 800 thousand to a million dollars in compensation to get this settled!”

“I–I don’t have that money!” The woman in white almost cried helplessly from the harassment.

“I don’t care! Sell your house or your organs. Do what you need to gather the money, or I’ll teach you a

lesson!”

Jane threatened the poor woman.

Finally, Dustin had had enough and blurted out, “Can you be more shameless? It was you who

reversed and

crashed into the white car. How dare you demand compensation from the victim?”

The truth immediately woke the onlookers up. Upon examining the scene of the accident, it was the

BMW that reversed and crashed into the Honda. Therefore, the BMW driver should be held fully

accountable for the

collision, but she had instead held the victim responsible.

Chapter 246

“Nonsense! She crashed into my car!” Jane remained unfazed and coercive. “So what if I reversed my

car? Her eyes were not focused on the road! Look, the lives of commoners like you are not worth

much. Even if they

died in a crash, they totally deserved it!”

The crowd instantly gasped at her outrageous remark.
