An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Seeing that Julius was about to leave, Cinna couldn’t take it anymore. “Wait for a second!

Grand General Rhys, we can just talk it out. Why are you being so rash?”

“What else is there to talk about? You don’t even trust me. It’s clear that you’re just

disrespecting me!” Julius acted like he was angry.

“Don’t get so worked up. It’s not that Sir Judd doesn’t want to meet you. It’s because he

doesn’t have time. If it’s possible, please wait for a moment. I’ll go and ask about his

thoughts.” Cinna forced a smile.

“Hurry up if you want to ask. I don’t have that much time to wait.” Julius stood with his

hands behind his back arrogantly.

“Of course. Please sit. I’ll go and ask right away.” After consoling Julius, Cinna went to a

corner and started calling someone.

Cinna nodded after being on the phone for about two minutes. With his single gesture, his

subordinates immediately scattered around to check their surroundings.

After a while, everyone returned without any findings. Cinna and Reagan talked lowly for a

while before they hung up the phone.

Then, Cinna forced a smile and walked up to Julius. “Grand General Rhys, I’ve already

asked Sir Judd. He’s almost done with his matter.

“However, he still needs some time to wrap it up. If you can wait, we can talk somewhere

else.”

“You want to change a place? Where?” Julius raised an eyebrow.

“Naturally, it’s the Dragon Guard’s secret base in West Lucozia.”

Cinna answered with a smile, “To be honest, only the higher-ups in Dragon Guard know

about our secret base. Sir Judd is showing you how sincere he is by allowing you there.

What do you think?”

Upon hearing that, Julius stroked his chin hesitatingly. Although Julius didn’t know what

Reagan was thinking, he was sure that the latter was hard to deal with.

If Julius entered Dragon Guard’s secret base, he couldn’t get away if anything happened.

However, this was the only chance for Julius to meet Reagan. If Julius gave up, it would be

difficult for him to explain to the monarchy.

“What is it? Do you have any concerns?

You said that we need to show our sincerity and trust toward you. We’re just doing as you

say. Now, it’s time for you to show your sincerity,” Cinna said with a smile.

“Okay, Since we’re going to partner up, I’ll trust your word on this!” Julius agreed in the

end after pondering for a while.

He didn’t have a choice right now. Therefore, he could only adapt to the situation and take

a risk.

“Grand General Rhys, come with me.” Cinna invited Julius into the car with one hand. With

the roar of the engine, the car soon accelerated and disappeared.

About a few hundred feet from the restaurant, two spies were observing Julius’ every

move through night vision binoculars.

After seeing Julius being taken away, one of the spies immediately pressed on his

earphones. “Your Highness, Julius is being taken away by the members of the Dragon

Guard.

“We heard that they’re going to the Dragon Guard’s secret base. Please advise on what to

do next.”

“Continue to follow them. Remember not to reveal yourselves.” An answer sounded from

their earpiece.

“Of course!” the spies answered before making a move.

At this moment, Dustin and Austin sat silently in a café near the restaurant. While drinking

coffee, they waited for an opportunity. 1

All the capable martial artists in the castle were hiding quite a distance away to avoid

being found out. Only a few spies were left to observe Julius’ whereabouts, They would

make a move once the time was right.

Seeing that Dustin’s expression was off, Austin couldn’t help but ask, ” Dustin, did

something happen?”

“Reagan is extremely cunning. He didn’t reveal himself but asked his subordinate to come

on his behalf. If Julius wants to meet Reagan, he needs to go to the Dragon Guard’s secret

base.

Dustin had secretly instilled a listening device and tracking device in Julius. Thus, he had

heard all of Julius’ conversation with Cinna.

“Isn’t this a good thing? As long as we find Dragon Guard’s secret base, we can capture all

of them!” Austin replied excitedly.

However, Dustin shook his head. “It’s not that simple. Reagan is a very meticulous person.

He must be confident if he invited Julius to his base.

“If we make a move without planning it out, we might end up losing more than we gain.”

Since it was a secret base, it was heavily guarded. Apart from the fact that Dragon Guard

had many skilled martial artists, the secret weapons, traps, and various defensive

measures alone would make it difficult to breach.

With their current manpower, taking down the Dragon Guard’s secret base would be

challenging without the Black Dragon Army.

It would be even more impossible to eliminate the remnants of Dragon Guard completely.

Moreover, the enemy would easily be alerted if they mobilized the Black Dragon Army.

Thus, this was both an opportunity and a significant challenge before Dustin.

“Dustin, what should we do now? Should we mobilize the Black Dragon Army?” Austin

asked.

“Dragon’s Guard spies are located in all of West Lucozia. They’ll know if we mobilize our

troops and will probably escape before the Black Dragon Army arrives.” Dustin shook his

head.

“Since it’s impossible to attack head- on, we can only prepare an ambush. If we use

training as an excuse to deploy forces secretly, it shouldn’t be a problem as long as we

don’t leak any information,” Austin suggested.

“Okay. Let’s do as you say. Organize an elite team first and wait for an opportunity.” Dustin

nodded.

It was impossible if they wanted to openly mobilize their troops. Thus, they could only

secretly gather their troops and wait for a chance to capture all of the Dragon Guard’s

remnants.

“I’ll do it right away,” Austin answered before leaving.

“Uncle Julius, it’s all up to you if we can succeed today. Please don’t let us down. “Dustin

looked outside the window while holding a cup.

The weather tonight was suitable for an ambush. It depended on Julius whether they could

succeed today.

As long as Reagan was affected by Deicide Venom, they had a chance to get rid of him.

The remnants of Dragon Guard would no longer be a threat once he was dead.
