An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 996

The crowd was stunned as they looked at Dustin. Nobody expected the frail young man before them to be the legendary young grandmaster.

These days, everyone in Balerno was talking about the young grandmaster. Countless people admired and idolized him.

Now that he was standing before them, they still could not believe their eyes.

"A young grandmaster? H—h—he's a young grandmaster?" Walter widened his eyes in disbelief.

He had initially thought Dustin was only a bit more talented than usual. He hadn't realized the extent of his background.

It was even more absurd that he wanted to take Dustin in as his disciple.

It was a laughable misjudgment! After all, everyone knew Dustin was the monster who had slain Augustus Kline.

Walter hadn't even truly broken through yet. Even if he did become a grandmaster, he would only be scratching the surface.

He was not even worth mentioning next to a veteran grandmaster like Augustus, not to mention someone as extraordinary as Dustin.

"Damn it! This spells trouble!" Walter wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling unease.

It was one thing to take him in as a disciple. The problem was that he wanted to take Dustin's sword and even slandered him.

If Dustin were to take revenge, the consequences would be simply unimaginable.

"E—Emily. Did I hear it right? Dustin, is the famous young grandmaster?"

Vanessa stood frozen in place, stunned.

"Handsome and has a strong sense of justice. Only in his early twenties but is already a grandmaster … " Emily muttered to herself.

Her face lit with joy. "It is him! He checks all the boxes! He's that rare, talented genius that everyone looks up to!"

By the end of her speech, her body was shaking. She was excited and shocked.

Who would have thought the young grandmaster she looked up to had been next to her all this time?

She should have known earlier. Dustin's temperament, strength, and cultivation had far surpassed his peers.
