Chapter 1409 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
The entire event hall became silent as the man in military uniform made his appearance. Everyone moved aside to make way for him and avoided him like the plague.
After all, the young man was hot- tempered and unreasonable. He was known to have severe mood swings.
He also had a strong background. It allowed him to throw his temper around without facing any repercussions. Thus, nobody dared to cross him. People normally kept their distance from him to avoid getting into any trouble.
âCody, whoâs that? He looks impressive. Harper was both surprised and curious. The man must be a formidable character to be able to silence the whole event hall.
âIf Iâm not mistaken, he should be Dexter Fallon of the Fallon family!â Cody remarked as he narrowed his eyes ever so slightly.
âDexter Fallon? You mean one of the four Chaos Demons?â Harperâs eyes widened in disbelief.
âThatâs right. Heâs the one.â Cody nodded. He dared not even look straight at Dexter and only stole a peek at him out of the corner of his eyes.
The Fallons were one of the four ancient houses within the city. They were as prestigious as the Ballard family. Plus, they held considerable power and influence.
As for Dexter, he was one of the best among the younger generation. Not only did he have the background, he was also exceptionally talented. At a very young age, he was already a Four-star Marshal. He had a very promising future ahead.
The only problem with him was that he was extremely hot-headed, which often landed him in trouble. He even earned himself the horrible reputation of being called a Chaos Demon.
âThatâs weird. Why would an evil menace like him show up here? He looks fierce and downright scary! He isnât here to raise havoc, is he?â Harper cowered in terror.
There were four Chaos Demons in Oakvale, each with a reputation worse than the next. Just hearing their names alone was enough to strike fear in most peopleâs hearts.
Dexter was one of them.
âI donât think heâs here for that. I heard that heâs in love with Ms. Harmon. So heâs probably here for her,â Cody said thoughtfully.
âHang on!â A thought suddenly came to Harper as she exclaimed, âIf Dexter likes Natasha, wouldnât that make Dustin his rival?â
âHey⦠Now that you mention it, that does seem to be the case!â Cody was quick to react, no longer looking so down.
âKnowing Dexter, heâd never allow someone to get close to a woman he has his eyes on. Which means that the rascal, Dustin, is about to get into some serious trouble today!â
âHah! He had that coming!â Harper huffed, crossing her arms smugly. â Thatâs for wanting something he doesnât deserve!
âHow dare he get close to Ms. Harmon when heâs incapable of anything? This is his punishment! Iâd like to see how heâs going to deal with this!â
âI knew it! How could such a loser get away with such a bombshell? Heâs got such a great rival now. Letâs see if heâll be able to handle it.â
Cody wore a nasty grin, looking ready to enjoy a show. If he wasnât able to get her, then Dustin could only dream on!
âNatasha, whoâs this rascal?â
Dexter walked in with long strides, his gaze fixed venomously on Dustin.
He had seen everything that had happened between Dustin and Natasha, how intimate and passionately they had behaved.
It went without saying that he was not the least bit pleased about having a love rival crop up so suddenly.
âWho he is has got nothing to do with you!â Natasha exclaimed coldly, not in the mood to entertain him.
âI heard everything that you said! So heâs your boy toy, isnât he?â Dexter demanded.
âIâll repeat myself one last time. Itâs got nothing to do with you!â Natasha looked at him in disgust.
She had had many suitors, but Dexter was the type she hated the most. He was domineering, unreasonable, and had an inflated ego. He seemed to think that all the women in the world should revolve around him, that he was the center of the universe. Dexter was simply irritating.
âWhat do you mean itâs got nothing to do with me? Youâre the woman Iâve got my eyes on, so you can only be with me! No other men are good enough for you! âDexter declared firmly.
âAnd who do you think you are?â Natasha huffed. âYouâre all brawns with no brains, and that makes you no better than a gorilla! Who would want to be with someone like you?â âYou-â
