AN UNDERSTATED DOMINANCE - Season 22 Episode 91

“Allow me to clarify something. Your approval isn’t necessary, nor is your gratitude,” Dustin stated calmly.

He continued, “Also, in matters of healing and saving lives, your interference is unwelcome. If you don’t agree, feel free to demonstrate the capabilities of the Celestial Alliance disciples.”

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he spoke. He wasn’t typically one to engage in conflict, but Brian’s persistent provocations had tested his patience.

Dustin was confident he could handle Brian despite his waning true energy reserves.

“Oh, did I hit a nerve? Is that why you’re so worked up? I knew you were a fraud!” Brian sneered..

He added, “Trying to deceive us? Well, kid, you’ve messed with the wrong faction. Today, you’ll learn just how unforgiving we can be.”

With that warning, he made a sudden move and grabbed Dustin’s throat.

“Stop it!” Aurora’s expression paled as she attempted to step in, but it was too late. Brian’s strength overwhelmed her, and his unexpected attack on Dustin caught her off guard.

“Fool!” Dustin’s expression turned cold as he prepared to retaliate.

However, before he could act, a stunning figure stepped in. She wielded a silver hairpin and jabbed at Brian’s palm pressure points.

With a muffled groan, Brian recoiled from the sharp pain. He looked down to see blood seeping from where the hairpin had jabbed his palm.

“Huh?” Brian frowned and looked at Grace with a mixture of shock and disbelief.

His Adamantine Palm was renowned for its resilience against conventional assaults, so he didn’t feel the need to dodge. However, he was taken aback when she shattered his energy armor and pierced his Adamantine Palm with a mere silver hairpin.

Despite being armed, he knew underestimating her strength would be a grave mistake.

“We came to heal and save Alicia. Is this how the Celestial Alliance treats us? “Grace said coldly. Her expression was icy as blood dripped from the silver hairpin she held.

“Please accept our sincerest apologies. Brian acted impulsively, and I sincerely apologize for any offense caused. Please, don’t let this incident tarnish your view of us.”

Aurora turned to Dustin to express her regret before confronting Brian. “What were you thinking? Dr. Rhys saved Alicia’s life, and instead of showing gratitude, you’re planning to hurt him. Your actions have disgraced the Celestial Alliance.”

“Aurora! This guy is a fraud. He never cured Alicia’s illness. Don’t be fooled!” Brian hurriedly defended himself.

“Shut up!” Aurora snapped. “If we’re talking about frauds, shouldn’t we mention Dr. Quake, the one you invited?

“Despite treating Alicia for hours, he not only failed to cure her but nearly cost her life. If Dr. Rhys hadn’t arrived in time, my sister would probably be dead by now!”

Upon hearing that, Kenan, standing nearby, turned pale. He looked embarrassed and guilty.

“Aurora, you can’t judge so quickly. Alicia hasn’t woken up yet, so we can’t say she’s cured. What if her condition is just momentary? We need to be cautious,” Brian said seriously.

“What momentary? That’s nonsense! I may not be a medical expert, but I’m not blind!” Aurora retorted.

Since Alicia had vomited the poisonous blood, her complexion and overall condition had stabilized significantly. This was a stark contrast to the unpredictable fluctuations during

Kenan’s treatment.

Moreover, it was clear to everyone that Dustin had exhausted a lot of his true energy during the treatment. There was no way he was faking it.

“Unless this kid can wake Alicia up, all this talk is meaningless. I won’t trust his medical skills!” Brian insisted firmly.

“You… You’re being utterly unreasonable!” Aurora was visibly frustrated.

“Well, Mr. Stern raises a valid concern. In matters of life and death, there’s no margin for error. If Dr. Rhys is as competent as he claims, waking the patient shouldn’t be too difficult, right? “Kenan interjected unexpectedly.

“You quack doctor! Who asked for your opinion?” Aurora glared at him.

“Aurora, please show some respect!” Brian exclaimed. “Dr. Quake is a reputable figure in the medical community. While he may have slipped up this time, it doesn’t discredit his vast expertise.”

He asserted, “Moreover, his priority is Alicia’s well-being. We cannot afford to gamble with her şafety!”

Aurora’s frown deepened as she hesitated.

Despite Brian’s overbearing demeanor, she understood he had a genuine concern for Alicia’s well-being. The uncertainty lingered until Alicia regained consciousness.

“Dr. Rhys, may I know how long it will take for Alicia to wake up?” she asked.

“Your sister is very weak right now. It’s typical for her to remain asleep for three to five days. The exact duration hinges on her physical well-being,” Dustin said calmly.

“Three to five days? Isn’t that a bit too long?” Aurora frowned.

“Do you hear that, Aurora? This kid is just trying to buy time. He’ll be long gone if we wait three to five days!” Brian incited from the sidelines.

“If you insist on waking up your sister now, there is a way. But it might prolong her recovery and lead to some lingering complications. The choice is yours,” Dustin said, letting her decide.

Alicia was still fragile, and forcing her awake would likely worsen her condition. If Aurora, as a family member, insisted on it, he wouldn’t oppose it.

After all, he had done everything he could; his conscience was clear.
