An Understated Dominance By Marina Vittori Chapter 1386-Dustin asked politely, “Mr. Welch, I’ve heard that your father has awakened. Is that correct?” “Yes, my dad has indeed woken up, but he’s still weak. His mind is somewhat clouded. I believe he needs some time to rest,” Alistair replied. Dustin reassured him, “No worries, those are just some aftereffects. He’ll be back on his feet in no time.” Changing the topic, he continued, ” Now, Mr. Welch, about our deal. You promised me the Emerald Corolla and the Iceheart Lotus. When can I get them?” “Well…” Alistair exchanged a glance with those beside him and hesitated.

Joanne quickly interjected, “Dr. Rhys, we have no intentions of going back on our word. However, it might take a while since we’re swamped with other things, and your request isn’t our top priority.” “Mrs. Welch, it seems you had a different stance when we made the deal. “Dustin shook his head.

“Precious herbs are rare and can’t be easily acquired. We’ll notify you when we have any information.

Your patience will be appreciated,” Joanne stated, unyielding.

Dustin replied with a wry smile, ” Patience? I’m afraid if I wait any longer, I won’t live long enough to see those herbs.” From their previous conversation, he had deduced that the Welch family was determined to kill him. It was likely related to the formula of Dew Balm, a treasure precious enough to prompt them to act against him.

Joanne remained cool and unyielding.” If you can’t wait, there’s not much we can do.” “Fine. It looks like I can no longer rely on the Welch family. We’ll go our separate ways,” Dustin declared before leaving. Joanne suddenly called out to him, stopping him in his tracks. “Hold on, Dr.

Rhys!” Dustin turned back, his expression cold. “Mrs. Welch, do you have something else to say?” If the Welch family intended to escalate the situation, he would not hold back.
