An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1636

Dustin had never expected anyone to risk their lives for him. Donovan’s decision to stay silent to save himself wasn’t inherently wrong.

“Your father saved me countless times and put so much trust in me, but I did nothing. It’s genuinely embarrassing,” Donovan lamented.

If Dustin had scolded or hit him, it might have been easier for Donovan to bear. However, Dustin showed no intention of blaming him, intensifying his guilt.

“Abbot Lumen, I have a question. We had no issues with the Dragon Guard, so why were they trying to eliminate us? “Dustin asked again.

“The reason is simple. You pose a threat to the established order,” Donovan said helplessly.

“Ten years ago, your family’s West Lucozian monarchy dominated the scene, overshadowing imperial authority. For the organization, your existence threatened their status, something they couldn’t tolerate.”

“Such a slight threat and the organization chose to annihilate us?” Dustin furrowed his brow, a steely glint in his eyes.

“Logan, you’re underestimating the impact of your family.” Donovan sighed softly. He went on, “If it were only your father’s renown, the organization might endure or seek a diplomatic resolution. However, your entire family is exceptionally remarkable.

“Your father, Rufus, was a natural military genius, undefeated in countless battles. He was acknowledged as a king among kings, leading a formidable army of fifty thousand.

“Your mother, Alba Quinton, had exceptional prowess and was already an ultimate grandmaster in martial arts in her thirties. She was number five in the Astonishing World List, earning acclaim as unparalleled worldwide.”
