An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1242
Scarlet was a prominent figure in the nation, establishing herself as a potential leader in the political scene. Zachary may be skilled in martial arts but would not dare to challenge such an influential person.
âWhy are you silent now? Werenât you showing off just now? If youâre brave enough, then fight me. Letâs see your abilities,â Scarlet jeered, shifting everyoneâs attention to Zachary.
Zachary found himself in a dilemma. Acknowledging defeat would damage his reputation. But winning could lead to more trouble, risking consequences from the Martial Arts Union and potential blacklisting.
âScarlet, I used to have a close relationship with your father. Is it fair to bring a crowd to my mansion?â Arthur asked seriously.
Scarlet replied breezily, âWhat does your connection with my father have to do with me?â
âYou!â Arthur seethed with anger, feeling embarrassed to be reprimanded by someone younger. âAlright, letâs calm down,â Adam smiled and stepped forward.
He turned to Arthur and said, âLord Grant, we didnât come here to cause trouble today. We are here to get justice. Youâre holding someone hostage, so itâs best to let them be the best for everyone.â go. Itâll
âAdam, there appears to be a misunderstanding here. The Grant family values peace and doesnât kidnap people.
âBesides, today is my grandsonâs engagement; we wouldnât engage in such behavior,â Arthur denied.
âLord Grant, maintaining this formal facade wonât help much. Your familyâs actions are clear, and you know it. âItâs better to admit your mistake before things turn ugly,â Adam said with a forced smile.
âOur family always follows the law. I believe youâve been misinformed,â Arthur insisted, his tone serious.
âLord Grant, Iâve given you a polite warning. If you donât listen, there will be consequences,â Adamâs smile disappeared.
âMy sister here isnât as patient as I am. If you provoke her, things could get messy. Think it through.â
âIf you doubt our sincerity, feel free to search to prove it yourself,â Arthur suggested. He remained composed and convincing.
âArthur, Iâve made my point. If you continue to be uncooperative, donât blame us for being rude!â Adamâs friendly demeanor dropped, and his face darkened. With that threat, Arthur felt cornered, and his actions became increasingly unreasonable.
âDonât try to reason with him. He wonât change his mind!â Scarlet, growing impatient, ordered, âMen, start dismantling this place!â
âYes!â Following her command, the elite members of the Dark Panther Cavalry swiftly sprang into action.
âHow dare you! Letâs see whoâs brave enough to make the first move!â Arthur shouted, and his guards rushed forward in a tense standoff with the Dark Panther Cavalry. As a fight was about to break out, loud shouts came from the entrance.
âMake way for the Minister of War- Sir Hyde!â âClear the path for the Commander of the Imperial City Guard-General Barker!â
âStep aside for Marquis of Riazâs eldest son-Mr. Schmid!â
The three successive shouts were deafening, rattling the scene and instilling fear in everyone.
