An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Chatper 1762

In the northern part of Millsburg, the headquarters of the Hero Alliance stood prominently. This alliance consisted of

affluent and profligate young noble scions from West Lucozia who had come together.

Their interactions were characterized by shared interests. In times of trouble, they offered mutual assistance. They

possessed considerable influence that deterred most from challenging them. In their social circle, their call

resonated with a resounding response.

Within the assembly hall of the Hero Alliance, a group of extravagant profligates embraced their companions. They

were immersed in a combination of drinks and dance. Various tables were adorned with unmentionable substances.

As the festivities continued, some of them even leaned down, inhaling the mysterious white powder on the tables.

Their bodies trembled instantly. Their pupils dilated. Their faces were filled with ecstasy as their mouths adorned

with foolish smiles. It was as though they had entered a hallucinatory realm and were unable to extricate

themselves.

The scene unfolded as a chaotic blend of men and women indulged in either the white powder or participating in

“I don’t know who it is, but they’re really powerful. Our Hero Alliance guards couldn’t stop them.”

The man in white swallowed nervously. If he hadn’t run fast, he’d likely be in the same state as those guards who

were missing their limbs.

“Damn it! Daring to cause trouble on our turf. Even if it’s the king himself, he’ll die here today!”

Aster slammed the table.

He roared, “Stop fooling around! Grab your weapons!”

His authority was imposing. With just one shout, most of the profligates snapped out of their stupor. The few still

laughing foolishly were rewarded with a couple of slaps from Aster, bringing them back to reality.

“Grab your weapons!”

The profligates didn’t hesitate, immediately activating a mechanism.
