Chapter 340 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Looking at the groups of elites barging into the banquet hall one after another, all the guests at the scene were dumbfounded.
None of them expected Dustin to have such great connections. All he did was make a call, and hundreds of people came over to assist him. Not only were there underground organizations and official armed forces, but there was also help from a business tycoon. On top of that, even the mayor of Swinton was here to back him up in person.
In other words, as long as Dustin said the word, all the forces in Swinton could be under his command.
That was a terrifying connection he had.
No wonder he dared to be insolent in front of the Langford family. He had come prepared.
Now the Langfords were not fighting against Dustin alone, but the whole of Swinton. âWho is he exactly? How come he can have influence over so many forces?â
The guests exchanged glances with one another, shocked at the turn of events.
At that moment, the arrogant Langford family finally sensed that the current situation wasnât favoring them. Even though these forces wouldnât be able to weaken their foothold, the former could still bring trouble to the latter. After all, the Langfordsâ power was in Stonia. Requesting immediate help was simply impossible.
âIt looks like I have underestimated you.â After being stunned for a moment, Kingston quickly regained his composure and said, âBut if you think that you can win against us with their help, then youâre wrong.
The Langford family had been an influential family in Stonia for generations. Whether it was power or connections, they were way stronger than the ones in Swinton.
âRhys! Indeed, you have more people with you. But what can you do about it?â Luis sneered, âThey are just a bunch of shrimp.â
In his eyes, Swintonâs powers were akin to ants. He could even easily get rid of them if he wanted. This was how strong an affluent family from Stonia was.
âIf they canât, what about me?â Right then, a loud and clear voice pierced the air.
A well-dressed, handsome man walked dauntlessly into the banquet hall with a few female officers. He carried such an overwhelming aura with him that everyone lowered their heads subconsciously the moment they saw him.
âAdam Spanner-the God of War?â Kingstonâs eyes widened in fear.
It had never occurred to him that the chief commander of the West Army, who was in charge of 300 thousand soldiers, would appear here.
âWhatâs wrong, Uncle Kingston? Do you know him?â Luis quickly noticed that something wasnât right.
That is Adam Spanner!â Kingston exclaimed
Hearing that, Luis was stunned and could no longer maintain his composure. âWhat? He isâ¦
Adam?â
As the heir of the wealthiest family in Stonia, Adam was not only a wunderkind but also a living legend. His outstanding battle achievements at a young age had earned him the title of âGod of War â and the command of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
In the whole of Stonia, there was barely anyone of his age who could be on par with him.
âThatâs quite arrogant of you. How dare you bully my friend!â As Adam strode in, the crowd automatically stepped aside to make way for him.
âFriend? Could it be⦠him?â Kingstonâs gaze shifted to Dustin in shock.
âHow could someone from this insignificant place know Adam?â Kingston thought.
âMr. Kingston, you said that these people werenât able to drive the Langfords away. But what about with my help?â Adam stared piercingly at him, his eyes filled with provocation.
âM-Mr. Spanner, what brings you here?â
