Chapter 1419 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Dexter was confused by the sudden slap. He was too shocked to react. Everyone else present was astounded as well. They had no idea what was happening. Didnât Dante come to protect Dexter? Why would he slap his nephew as soon as he saw him?
âUncle Dante, why did you slap me?â Dexter looked aggrieved as he held his burning cheek.
Out in public, he was the Chaos Demon. However, he was just a terrified mouse before Dante. After all, his uncle was the one who gave him everything he had today.
âHmph! Donât you have the faintest clue why I slapped you? How many fucking times have I told you? You can do whatever you want outside, be it picking a fight or finding faults.
âWhatever it is, the sky is practically your limit because you have the backing of the Fallon family! My only request is to never lose a fight!
âThe Fallon family will not tolerate losers nor cowards! Youâre a freaking Four-star Marshal, and you let a boy toy defeat you?
âYouâre such an embarrassment to the Fallon family! Tell me, did you or did you not deserve that slap?â Dante was almost screaming at the end of his sentence.
âI-â Dexter was at a loss for words as he hung his head low in shame.
The Fallon family was a military family. They had been producing famous generals for generations. In the family, actions spoke louder than words.
The children of the Fallon family had to abide by an unwritten rule since young -they could be the worst in anything except for winning fights. If they ever lost one, theyâd be punished at home.
âYouâre fucking useless! When we go home, youâll receive eighty lashes of the Fallon military whipping. After that, youâll kneel in the courtyard for three days and three nights!â Dante yelled sternly.
âYes, uncle.â Dexter lowered his head, not daring to challenge Danteâs decision.
Everyone in the banquet hall looked at each other with a strange expression upon seeing the enraged Dante. The Fallon family sure had an interesting way of educating their younger members.
In normal families, theyâd always hem in the young and teach them to stay out of trouble. The Fallon family was the complete opposite. Instead of constraining the younger members, they encouraged them to pick fights.
The Fallonsâ only request was they could never lose a fight and tarnish the familyâs reputation. It was no wonder Dexter was titled the Chaos Demon. How could a normal person endure this weird educational philosophy?
âWho bullied my nephew earlier? Show yourself!â After teaching Dexter a lesson, Dante marched to the center as his sharp gaze swept across the room.
âIt was him, Sir Dante! He hit Mr. Dexter!â Harper reacted quickly, pointing a finger at Dustin. She was trying to gain favor with Dante.
âOh?â With narrowed eyes, Dante turned to look toward the direction she was pointing. However, when he finally laid eyes on Dustin, he was a little taken aback. This guy looked a little familiar.
âSir Dante, all this was because of me. Please deal with me directly if youâre unhappy with anything.â Natasha walked forward and stood in front of Dustin.
Dante was an experienced general and a high-ranking one at that. His combat skills were impeccable. When compared to a rich playboy like Dexter, he was a hundred times stronger.
âThis is between men. Women should stay out of it.â Dante looked at Dustin carefully and felt that he looked really familiar.
âHey, you. Whatâs your name? What family are you from?â he asked inquisitively.
âHeâs Dustin Rhys, and heâs a nobody,â Harper hurriedly explained. Sheâd never miss an opportunity to put Dustin down.
âLast name Rhys?â Danteâs eyelid twitched. He had an ominous feeling.
There wasnât any big family in Oakvale that had âRhysâ as their last name. Even so, that didnât mean that this last name was unimportant.
On the contrary, the last name âRhysâ was a presence above the four ancient houses. In fact, the Rhys could be in the same ranking as the royal family, the Linsors.
This was because the Prince of Theswe from West Lucozia, a very powerful and influential figure, was surnamed Rhys!
Generally, it wouldnât matter too much. However, this guy looked too familiar and shared the same last name. It wasnât his fault to overthink this.
âHey, kid. Have we met before?â Dante asked with a hand on his chin.
