An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1267
After sending everyone off that evening, Dustin called all the guildmasters of the Kirin Gang into the
meeting room for a board meeting.
“It’s been a long day today. Thank you for your hard work.” Dustin sat at the main seat as he gestured
for everyone to take their seats.
“I have gathered everyone here this evening because I have two things to announce.
“The first thing is that I have decided to appoint Cornelius as the assistant leader of Kirin Gang. He will
assist me in handling affairs of the gang.”
All the guildmasters stood up and cheered for Cornelius when they heard that. “Congratulations, Sir
Adler!
“Great news for you, Sir Adler!”
Cornelius was capable, and he was a senior among them. He was also loyal to the Kirin Gang and a
decisive confidant of Dustin’s. It only made sense for him to become the assistant leader, and nobody
questioned the decision.
“Thank you for trusting me with the position, Sir Rhys! I promise I’ll do my best!” Cornelius said
earnestly. He had always been grateful to Dustin for saving his life and giving him a new life. He was
even more grateful now that he was entrusted with such an important position.

Dustin smiled before he continued, “I’ll be leaving Millsburg in a few days to deal with some matters.
Cornelius will be standing in for me while I’m gone.”
“What? Leave Millsburg?”
Cornelius was taken aback by the news. “Sir Rhys, what is it that you need to deal with?
“You can just get us to do it for you. Why do you need to go personally?” “This isn’t something you can
help me with. I need to do this myself.” Dustin shook his head.
Ever since he learned about Cinna’s condition, he couldn’t stay put anymore. He planned to go straight
to Oakvale after handling Hector’s funeral. He wanted to cure him and find out the truth about what
happened back then.
“Sir Rhys, you’re our leader. What will we do without you?” Slythorn’s guildmaster asked. “Kirin Gang is
on the right track, and it doesn’t matter whether I’m here. Besides, if anything were to happen,
Cornelius is more than capable of handling them.”
As Dustin spoke, he pulled out a pill and handed it to Cornelius. “This is Gerandium. I made this
personally. It can boost your cultivation.
“It’s likely that you’ll be able to reach the level of grandmaster very soon with the help of it.
“Gerandium?” Cornelius looked excitedly at the blue pill in front of him. Gerandium was a rare and
precious medicine, and it was the dream of many martial artists to get their hands on one.
It was said that one had a high chance of reaching the level of grandmaster once they consumed it!
Many people were halfway to becoming a grandmaster. But people who had become a grandmaster
were few and far between.
The biggest reason for that was that they lacked a boost to push them to the grandmaster level.
Cornelius, for example, had been stuck where he was for more than ten years, and he still hadn’t
broken through to the level of grandmaster. The obstacle had stumped him so much that he was so
fixed on it..
But with Gerandium, he’d have a 50 percent chance of breaking through and becoming a grandmaster!
He was so close to success! The Gerandium was such a timely gift!
“Why are you just staring? Go on, it.” Dustin pushed the pill closer to Cornelius, an indication for him to
take take it.
“T-th-this is too precious, Sir Rhys. You should keep it. I cannot accept something so precious!” After
returning to his senses, Cornelius refused the pill, appearing fearful..
Gerandium was considered a priceless treasure to martial artists. Even if they had the money, they

unworthy of it.
“What do you mean you cannot accept it? You are like a brother to me. If I say you can have it, then
you’re worthy of it. I have no use of it anyway.”
As Dustin spoke, he pushed the Gerandium into Cornelius’ hands. “The Kirin Gang will need a lot more
assistance from you.
“The more powerful you are, the greater your help will be to me. So I’m not just helping you but also
helping myself.”
“Sir Adler, Sir Rhys means well. Just take it.”
“Yeah, if you manage to become a grandmaster, the entire Kirin Gang will benefit greatly from it.” The
guildmasters all began persuading Cornelius to take the Gerandium.
“Thank you for your generosity, Sir Rhys!”
Cornelius bowed and declared sincerely, “I will give my life to serve you, Sir Rhys! I swear I’ll do
anything for you!”
“Alright, alright. I believe you.” Dustin reached out, gesturing for him to straighten up. Though
Gerandium was rare, Dustin deemed it worthy for his men to use.
“This isn’t just for Cornelius. All of you have a part in this, too.”
Dustin looked around and said with a smile, “When you reach a bottleneck in your cultivation, I’ll give
each of you a Gerandium!”
“What? One each?”
