Chapter 1562 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Anders organized an exclusive gathering with two purposes-to win over them and gather intelligence.
âItâs an honor to have you all at Jadeleaf Manor. Letâs raise our glasses to a toast.â He grinned, lifting his glass for a round of toasts. Seeing this, the attendees, filled with respect, promptly stood up, toasting in return.
After all, the man in their midst was the God of War, the mightiest warrior in Dragonmarsh, and he was also the pride of the Moseys.
Anders was a figure who naturally commanded respect wherever he went, and todayâs warm reception pleasantly surprised them.
âSir Anders, weâre family. Your words make it sound like weâre strangers.
âBesides, if anyone should be toasting, it should be us to you. You are the backbone of the Mosey family!â Scott, seizing the moment, raised his glass passionately.
âAbsolutely! Sir Anders, your combat skills are unparalleled, a real asset to the Moseys!â The crowd joined in with praises.
âHaha! Alright, letâs drink!â Anders laughed heartily, downing his glass in one go. Following suit, everyone emptied their glasses.
âFriends, the main reason for having you all here today is to discuss something crucial.â
After the toast, Anders gestured for everyone to sit and got straight to the point. âIâve heard about recent changes in the Moseys.
âOur godfather unexpectedly assigned that woman to be chief housekeeper. Do you find that woman befitting for such a role?â
At these words, the crowd exchanged glances, some visibly puzzled. Clearly, Anders wasnât pleased with Dahliaâs rise to power.
âOf course not!â Seeing the hesitation, Scott said, âDahlia is just a woman from some small town.
âWhy should she wield such authority right after joining the Moseys? I think our godfather is truly confused!â
âScott, choose your words carefully!â
Anders kept a stern expression, pretending to be displeased. âOur godfather is kind and caring. I think someone must have tricked him into making this decision.
âAs his godsons, itâs our job to help him see the true nature of these schemers!â
âSir Anders is absolutely right. That devious Dahlia used sweet words to deceive our godfather. Sheâs just a schemer!â
In Scottâs eyes, the Mosey family was destined to be under Andersâ rule sooner or later. It was crucial to choose the right side to join to secure a prosperous future.
âFriends and relatives, do you think what Iâm saying makes sense?â Andersâ gaze swept the room.
âSir Anders has a discerning eye and is wise. He must be right!â
âWho does Dahlia think she is? This kind of person isnât fit to hold power! I say, just kick her out of the Moseys!â
âAbsolutely! How can a feeble person like her be compared to Sir Anders, the God of War? If sheâs in charge of the Moseys, we would be in trouble sooner or later!â
The room hummed with voices, everyone voicing their discontent. They held a longstanding grudge over Dahliaâs ascent to power.
After all, they were the elders of the Moseys mansion, faithfully serving for many years. Why should a woman with no achievements suddenly take command and issue orders?
Because of Seamusâs influence, they didnât dare to speak up. They could only grit their teeth and reluctantly comply.
Now, with the Veros Warrior back, expressing his intentions to vie for power, they no longer held back.
They openly declared their support, refusing to bow down any longer. They erupted in agreement and condemnation.
âIâm thankful for the support youâve all shown me. Since weâre all on the same page, letâs work together to remove Dahlia from the Moseys!â Anders declared, drawing cheers from the crowd.
âWe are willing to serve Sir Anders with all our hearts!â
âGood! Let me make it clear. As long as you support me wholeheartedly, I guarantee you wonât be mistreated!â Anders smiled.
âThank you, Sir Anders!â The group expressed their gratitude, toasting once again. Dahliaâs stern policies had significantly damaged their benefits. Anders, with his significant power, promised a brighter future. Now, with everyone openly supporting Anders, they felt liberated.
âUrgent report!â
At that moment, a guard rushed in and reported to Anders, âSir! Something bad has happened! Intruders have entered the manor, and theyâve injured many of us.
âThe situation is critical. Please, we need reinforcements!â
