An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1689

Sensing Dustin’s confusion, Glenn explained, “Aunt Alba had a conflict with the family years ago. So, she chose to leave and cut ties.

“After she passed away, my mom and I went to West Lucozia to pay our respects and told your dad who we were. But it seems he didn’t mention it to you.”

“I haven’t been back in ten years,” Dustin said with a complicated expression. The revelation about his mom’s past explained why she hadn’t returned to her home. He decided that once everything was sorted out, he would visit and pay his respects to her as well.

Trying to change the subject, Glenn said suddenly, “Your sword is impressive. Can I have it?”

Dustin, taken aback, asked, “What?”

“It looks like a no,” Glenn said casually.

“Well then, let’s find a chance to have a fight. If you lose, the sword is mine. If you win, my sword is yours.”

Dustin was left speechless. The sudden shift from family talk to suggesting a fight was confusing.

“Don’t worry. I won’t take advantage of your state now. Once you recover, we can have our match,” Glenn assured sincerely.

Throughout their talk, Glenn couldn’t take his eyes off the Celestial Blade in Dustin’s hands. Being a sword lover, he considered a great sword akin to unmatched beauty.

He believed that the more swords he owned, the stronger he became. His admiration for a splendid sword was hard to hide.

This situation mirrored Glenn’s previous encounter with Seth, driven by the allure of Seth’s Dragon Sparrow

Sword. Unfortunately, Glenn hadn’t had a chance to spar with him yet.

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed from the top of Quandary Mountain. After the earth-shaking noise, a bunch of rocks rolled down from the summit.
