An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1329
Seated by the window on the second floor of Regal Court, Lana swirled her wine glass. Her gaze was
fixed on the tranquil night outside. The moon and stars were mirrored in her beautiful eyes. It made her
appear exceptionally charming.
“Ms. Camron.” At that moment, a bodyguard dressed in a suit approached her. He whispered, “We had
an incident earlier. The target you asked us to keep an eye on has disappeared.”
“Disappeared?”
Lana raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”
“The target is quite strong. He took down dozens of people with his bare fists. Then, he disappeared
without a trace,” the bodyguard replied with his head lowered.
“Oh? Doesn’t that mean he’s an excellent fighter?” Lana smiled, her expression betraying her growing
interest in him.
“I thought he was just good-looking, but it seems like he’s got some skills. Have someone investigate
him and find out about his background. If he’s on the right side, try to bring him over.”

“Interesting. How interesting. I haven’t met someone this interesting in a while now.” Lana smiled faintly
before downing her wine in one shot.
She had a feeling that she had come across a valuable treasure. Early the next morning, Dustin left his
hotel and headed straight for Harmony Healers.
After shaking off the people following him the previous night, he checked into a hotel near Harmony
Healers.
His primary goal of coming to Oakvale this time was to treat Cinna and investigate the events of the
past. With his current skills and the help of the Celestial Pearl, he was finally capable of searching for
the truth.
Five minutes later, Dustin walked into Harmony Healers. The place was as bustling as ever, filled with
mostly middle-aged and elderly patients. It was as noisy as a market, with people chattering
incessantly.
Dustin had already informed Brooke beforehand of his arrival. So, he proceeded directly to the second
floor.
The door on the second floor was already open. Brooke had been waiting for him in the living room for
some time.
“Dustin, you’re here? Please, have a seat.” Brooke extended a welcoming hand. Pouring him a cup of
tea, he apologized, “I’m truly sorry for what happened last night. Even though Harper can be quite
stubborn, she means no harm. I hope you won’t hold it against her.”
“No worries, it’s all in the past. I just hope she can behave herself going forward,” Dustin said with a
faint smile. Harper was a stubborn and unreasonable woman. If it weren’t for Brooke’s sake, he
wouldn’t have been so understanding.
Of course, as long as she didn’t cross his boundaries, he preferred not to be bothered about her.
“I’ll make sure to teach her manners from now on. If she continues down this path, she’ll get into
trouble sooner or later,” Brooke said regretfully.
“By the way, Dr. Busch, how is Mr. Shaffer’s condition?” Dustin changed the subject. “I just checked on
him. Cinna’s condition is still stable for now. But he can only stay that way for around ten days to two

“We’ll need to produce the Sanctifix as soon as possible.” Brooke’s expression turned solemn.
“Have you got any news on the three main ingredients for Sanctifix?” Dustin asked.
“I’ve already had someone look into it. While we don’t have any news on the Iceheart Lotus or Emerald
Corolla, I do know where to find a Dragon Panax. But it’s a bit tricky to get.” Brooke sighed.
“Oh? Where is it?” Dustin perked up instantly.
“As far as I know, the Dragon Panax is the Welch family’s treasure. They rarely show it to others,”
Brooke explained.
“The Welch family, one of Oakvale’s eight great families?” Dustin raised an eyebrow.
“Exactly.” Brooke nodded.
“I heard that Mr. Welch Senior has been in poor health, and they’re keeping the Dragon Panax for its
life- extending properties. It’ll be incredibly difficult to get it from them.”
“It is pretty troublesome, but we have to try. Leave this matter to me,” Dustin said thoughtfully.
“Dr. Busch, please look more into information on the other two medicinal herbs while I’m at it.”
“No problem. I’ve already contacted my friends in the medical community. I believe it won’t be long
before we get news on them,” Dr. Busch replied seriously.
