Chapter 1227 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âTyler! Get your ass out here, now!â
A sudden shout echoed through the entire Grant mansion. It was as loud as the thunder that boomed in the sky. The voice carried an intent to harm and endless fury.
âWhoâs causing all this commotion?â
âSomeoneâs causing trouble in the mansion? Catch them!â
âThis is unbelievable!â
Following a short moment of quiet, the meeting room burst into an uproar. The Grant family members were furious and upset. Nobody had ever dared to be so bold toward them, especially openly disrespecting Tyler like this. It was unacceptable!
âDustin has completely lost control!â Kateâs face turned serious. She knew Dustin was coming. Still, she didnât expect him to be so bold, shouting before he even entered.
âKate, is this the problem you mentioned?â Tyler frowned for a moment but quickly composed himself, not showing anger.
âTy, honestly, Dustin has the treasure map. Everything will be fine if we capture him!â she said with a forced smile.
âYouâre quite daring, using me as your pawn.â Tyler glanced at her coldly.
âTy, I never meant it that way!â
Kate panicked and explained, âItâs mainly because Hector betrayed us and gave the treasure map to Dustin. Weâre running out of time to set up a trap, so I had to lure him here first.â
âAt least you can think. Since youâve been loyal, Iâll take care of Dustin for you today to prevent future troubles.â Tyler stood up, straightened his sleeves, and left the meeting room. The others quickly followed him.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Graht mansion.
âAh-!â
With a final scream, Dustin defeated over a dozen Grant family guards. They lay on the ground with broken hands and legs, moaning in pain.
Not a single one could match Dustinâs strength. âDamn! Who is this guy? Heâs challenging the Grant family! Does he want to get himself killed?â
âHeâs causing trouble on General Lionheartâs engagement day. This guy is asking for trouble!â
âHeâs truly fearless, not realizing how serious his actions are.â
The crowd pointed fingers and quietly talked about Dustin, thinking he was foolish. The Grant family was one of the Tremendous Three. They possessed power, influence, connections, and even an army.
Someone like Dustin causing trouble here was like courting death.
âTyler! Come out!â
Dustin shouted as he charged forward with fierce determination. The crowd scattered, afraid to provoke the reckless man.
âRhys! Youâve finally arrived. Iâve been waiting for you!â Suddenly, Vlad blocked his path. Behind him was a group of martial artist masters, all eager for a fight.
âVlad?â Dustinâs face darkened, his resolve growing stronger. âI warn you, release Natasha immediately, or there will be consequences!â
âConsequences?â Vlad couldnât help but burst into laughter. He continued, âKid, who do you think you are? Look around you. This is the Grant mansion, my territory! I can choose whether to spare or take your life. What gives you the right to be so arrogant?â
âIâll say it one more time; release her right now!â Dustin clenched his teeth.
âI can release her, but you must hand over the treasure map first. Then, kneel on the ground and apologize. If Iâm satisfied, Iâll think about letting her go. âVlad crossed his arms, wearing a mocking expression.
âDidnât you hear that? Hurry up, kneel and apologize!â The martial artist masters behind Vlad burst into laughter.
âYouâre pushing your luck!â Dustin was furious. Then, he charged toward Vlad. âTake him down!â
