Chapter 1411 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âHahaha!â Dexter suddenly began laughing. It started as a soft laugh and gradually grew louder and more maniacal. The onlookers felt their skin crawl, and they reflexively moved away to distance themselves.
Dexter was known to be very temperamental, with impulsive mood changes. When his signature laughter appeared, it meant there was bound to be blood soon.
âYouâre quite ballsy, arenât you, rascal? âAfter Dexter was done laughing, his expression instantly darkened.
âAll these years, no one has ever dared to speak to me like that. Incompetent and incapable, you say? Very well, you shall pay for what you said today with your life!â
As he spoke, his hand reached for the gun on his waist.
âDexter! Iâm warning you, you better not act rashly!â Natasha stepped in front of Dustin and shielded him. She continued frostily, âDustinâs mine. If you dare hurt him, Iâll never let you off!â
âWhat?â Dexter frowned, his expression turning from bad to worse. âNatasha Harmon, do you know what youâre saying? Are you going against me for this boy toy of yours?â
âSo what if Iâm going against you? Do you really think that youâre above the law?â Natasha wasnât intimidated by him. Dexterâs reputation might be able to scare the average person, but it wasnât going to scare her.
âHmph! Iâll forget what you said because youâre a woman!â
Then, gritting his teeth, he turned his malicious gaze on Dustin.
âHey, rascal, werenât you very gutsy just a while ago? What are you doing hiding behind a woman now? If youâve got what it takes, take me up on a match and letâs settle this between us like real men.â
âYouâre no match for me,â Dustin said calmly.
âFuck! Youâre pretty arrogant, arenât you?â
Dexter continued angrily, âIâm a Four- star Marshal who excels in both martial arts and academics. Who the hell are you to look down on me?â
âSo what if youâre a Four-star Marshal? Havenât you achieved all that you have because you have the entire Fallon family backing you up? Do you really think that youâd be able to enjoy such glory without your familyâs support?â
Dustin huffed disdainfully. He had seen his fair share of spoiled scions like Dexter.
They all tend to think they were all that just because they were in positions of power. But they had only gotten those positions because of their familyâs influence. In truth, they were just useless trash.
âYou asshole! Do you dare take me up on my challenge?â Dexter roared in frustration.
âIf you donât, then get down on your knees and beg for forgiveness! Admit publicly before everyone here that youâre a wimp! I might let you walk away with your life!â
âFine. If you insist on being beaten up, thatâs what youâll get today. Itâll also serve as a lesson to teach you not to be too full of yourself.â Dustin appeared calm and composed.
âSure! Iâd like to see what youâre made of!â Dexter huffed in contempt as he took off his jacket and tossed it to his subordinates. Then, he made his way up the stage. The performers on the stage immediately dispersed and got off the stage.
âAre you really going to fight him, dear? âNatasha asked.
âViolence is the only way to communicate with brutes like him. Thereâs no point saying anything else. Iâll just have to beat him into submission before heâll listen to what we say,â Dustin commented.
âYouâve got a point there.â Natasha nodded. âBut please be careful.â
âWhat? Are you afraid that Iâd lose?â Dustin asked with a chuckle. âOf course not!â Natasha rolled her eyes. âWhat I mean is for you to go easy on him. Donât batter him up too badly, or things will get messy.â
Natasha knew very well what Dustin was capable of, and he was more than capable of dealing with Dexter.
The only problem was Dexter had the Fallon family behind him, and they were one of the ancient houses. Theyâd end up in a sticky situation if things got out of hand.
âDonât worry, Iâm just teaching him a lesson so he knows to back off. Heâll be fine.â Dustin smiled. But of course, if Dexter doesnât get the message, he couldnât blame Dustin for taking things up a notch.
âHey, bastard! Why are you stalling down there? Get your ass up here now!â
Dexter stood imposingly on the stage, giving off a ferocious presence. He stood at a height of 6â 3â³, with a buff and well-built physique. His threatening expression made him look truly formidable.
âWhatâs the rush? Are you in such a hurry to meet your maker?â Dustin shot him a cold glance before slowly making his way up the stage.
