An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1256
âYour Highness, it has nothing to do with us! âWe didnât do anything!â The Harmon family members panicked, groveling as they begged for mercy.
âNone of you are blameless in this incident,â Dustin stated coldly.
âAll of you betrayed the family by acting as accomplices to the mastermind. Tearing the family apart and bringing the family business to a slump ultimately led to its downfall.
âHow can any of you claim innocence?â
âWeâ¦â They had no words. The Harmons were once one of the top prominent families of Millsburg. But now, they were falling apart, heading towards their doom.
They indeed bore their share of responsibility. If they hadnât joined Trent in pursuing power and wealth and hadnât started an internal strife in the family, they perhaps could have had better lives.
Unfortunately, it was all too late. âI wonât get involved in your crimes. Natasha will deal with all of you when she regains consciousness.â Without another word, he waved. â Take them all in and keep a watchful eye on them!â
âYes, sir!â A group of disciples from the Kirin Gang swarmed in. They arrested the members of the Harmon family and took them away.
âNow, itâs your turn.â Dustin turned his attention to the Grants after dealing with the Harmons. âTell me, how should I deal with you lot?â It was clear that he intended to settle things once and for all.
âYour Highness, everything was orchestrated by the Harmons. We had no part of it!â Arthur attempted to deny the crimes of the Grants.
âDo you think Iâm a fool?â Dustin snorted.
âFrom the very beginning, it was your grandson who was causing trouble behind the scenes. He intentionally sowed discord and inflicted harm upon the Harmons for his selfish interests.
âHe manipulated them into turning against each other, leading to their downfall. His despicable acts have already crossed my limits.â
âWhat?â Arthur was taken aback. His voice trembled. âYour Highness, there must be a misunderstanding.
âMy grandson has always been a law- abiding citizen. How could he have done such a thing?â
âStop pretending. Donât you know what kind of person your grandson is?â Dustinâs gaze was unrelenting.
âI-I truly had no idea,â Arthur shrank back in fear. âFine, Iâll assume you didnât know. Now, you should ask your grandson what he has done,â Dustin said sternly.
âWhatâs going on, Tyler? You havenât offended the Crown Prince⦠have you? Arthur signaled with his eyes.
âGrandpa, itâs pointless. Even if I deny it, he wonât believe me.â Tyler shook his head, evidently choosing not to argue further.
Seeing how Trent and his daughterâs ruse carried no effect whatsoever, he realized that no matter what he said, it wouldnât change anything.
âOh? Youâre quite level-headed,â Dustin sneered. âTyler, considering everything youâve done behind the scenes, deal with you?â how should I
âDustin, youâre just relying on the support of the West Lucozian monarchy. If we put aside our backgrounds, I might not necessarily lose to you!â Tyler was defiant.
So what if he was the Kirin? That was a glory from a decade ago. It wasnât unusual for geniuses to lose their talents if they did not put in the effort or have access to resources.
That was why the present Dustin was not necessarily better than him.
âSeems like youâre defiant.â Dustin raised an eyebrow.
âDo you think you could win as long as I wasnât a Rhys?â
âThatâs right!â Tyler raised his head, the arrogance returning to his expression. âDustin, arenât you the unparalleled Kirin? Do you dare to make a bet with me?â
âWhat kind of bet are you proposing?â Dustin appeared interested. âAccording to the rules of the martial world, letâs have a fair and open fight. If I win, all of you will leave immediately, and you will put this matter to rest.
âHowever, if I lose, you have free rein to decide my fate. Whether you kill me or cut me up, there will be no objections!â
