An Understated Dominance

When Krel saw Dustin catch the cauldron, he thought he had lost his chance for revenge. But to his surprise, Dustin wanted to make another bet and even gave up his advantage.

The man clearly had a death wish!

“Alright, so it’s settled. Who goes first, you or me?” Dustin joked with a laugh.

“We go first, of course!” Before Krel could speak, Jimmy chimed in, “You brought up the bet. Letting us go first isn’t too much to ask, right?”

Since cheating wasn’t allowed, Krel only had to lift and throw the 50- thousand-pound cauldron again, which would surely defeat Dustin.

“Okay, you guys go first,” Dustin agreed without a fight. It didn’t matter to him who went first.

“Let’s sign a deadly duel agreement first. Anyone who backs out is a coward! “Jimmy sneered.

“No problem.” Dustin nodded.

Soon, the deadly duel agreement was brought over.

Krel signed it first, then tossed the pen to Dustin with an evil smile. “Your turn, punk.”

As Dustin picked up the pen to sign, Melissa tried to stop him. “Dustin, maybe you should reconsider? Krel is very strong and has a lot of backing. You’re sure to lose against him. It’s not worth risking your life.”

Signing the deadly duel agreement meant that if defeated, one’s fate was no longer in their own hands. She felt it was too risky for a moment of pride.

“Ms. Yondels, thanks for your concern, but I might not lose. In fact, you should worry about Krel. I’m afraid he won’t be able to handle it,” Dustin said with a calm smile, signing the agreement confidently.

“Dustin-”

Melissa tried to say more but was interrupted by Jimmy, “Enough, Melissa. Why care about such an ungrateful guy? Just enjoy the show.”

“Melissa, as a Boulderthorn disciple, you shouldn’t be helping outsiders,” Krel said, displeased.

He had always had a soft spot for Melissa. Seeing her chatting and laughing with Dustin made him jealous.

“I…” Melissa hesitated.

She just wanted to make a friend, never expecting it would cause such a conflict. Now, she was caught in the middle, between a rock and a hard place.

“Krel, let’s not delay any further. Start now!” Jimmy was getting impatient.

“Melissa, step aside. Don’t get hurt by accident.” Krel waved his hand, signaling Melissa to move back. Then, he walked up to the 50-thousand- pound cauldron again, starting to gather energy.

Lifting and throwing the cauldron before had used up a lot of his energy. Fortunately, he recovered quickly due to his strong foundation. Even throwing it again, he was still full of vigor.NôvelDrama.Org content.

Krel took a deep breath. His hands slowly touched the base of the cauldron, then his muscles tensed up all at once, and the true energy surged through his body.

In the next second, the heavy cauldron began to move slightly.

“Up!” Krel yelled, exerting force with his hands.

The 50-thousand-pound cauldron made a loud sound as it lifted off the ground and rose quickly. In the blink of an eye, it had already reached Krel’s chest.

“Up!” After a brief pause, Krel gritted his teeth and exerted force again, lifting the cauldron above his head in one go.

“Great! Krel is so strong!” Jimmy kept clapping, praising Krel to the skies.

“The chief senior disciple of Boulderthorn’s Forsakenstriders is really powerful. Lifting the cauldron a second time even more easily than the first time. It’s truly eye-opening!”

“Looking at it this way, the guy challenging Boulderthorn seems to be in danger.”

“No dodging, no using any resistive force, and no letting the cauldron touch the ground. He had to catch it using his own strength. It’s too much pressure. He’s truly risking his life.”
