An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2115

"If the Bloodfiery Legion wants to talk, sure, I'm open to it. But even if they don't, I'm not backing off," Dustin remarked nonchalantly.

He was consistent in his demeanor, whether facing the Bloodfiery Legion, the Sword Union, or the Celestial Alliance. He was indifferent about potentially offending any of them.

"Dustin, I know you're strong, but remember, there's always someone stronger. You can't just go charging ahead without thinking!" Dalen cautioned, his tone sincere.

He continued, "Did you know Kendricks is Aldric's brother? He's ranked eighth on the Legendary List and already at Sacred Wrym Summit. When he learns about his brother's death, he'll definitely seek revenge!"

The Legendary List featured individuals of remarkable prowess. Each one was capable of dominating any situation.

While Dustin was impressive, Kendricks, ranked eighth on the list, surpassed him. If Kendricks sought vengeance, Dustin's chances of success seem bleak.

"Yeah, Dustin!" It's better to live to fight another day. You can lay low until the Bloodfiery Legion tracks down the real culprit. No harm in waiting it out," Miles chimed in, trying to persuade him.

He could tell that Dustin, despite his skills, didn't have many reliable allies. That fact made him vulnerable to manipulation.

"The Combat Tournament at Sacred Wrym Summit kicks off in two days. Can I really afford to cower away now?" Dustin asked, dismissing the idea.

"But what if Kendricks decides to seek vengeance?" Dalen's concern was evident in his furrowed brow.

"When trouble comes, we'll face it head-on, and we'll adapt to any challenges that come our way," Dustin replied.

"Hey, why won't you listen?" Ruby couldn't help but speak up.

She went on, "We're just trying to look out for you. Can't you see? Being stubborn won't help. You have only one life. What if you end up in trouble with the Bloodfiery Legion? That'd be a huge loss!"

Dodging the obvious dangers was easy, but defending against the unseen ones proved tougher.
