Chapter 408 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âLord Horstâs brother?â Everyone was aghast to hear that, especially Mike, whose face had gone as white as a sheet.
He never expected the man to have that identity. Although his father and Lord Horst knew each other, they were merely acquaintances. However, the man before them was Lord Horstâs brother, so it was clear who mattered more. He was doomed!
âWerenât you showing off just now? Why donât you do it one more time?â The man in a suit planted his foot into Mikeâs chest, kicking him to the floor. âHow dare you meddle with what I do! You must have a death wish!â
With that, he gave Mike another two more blows. Mike gritted his teeth from the pain but couldnât say anything.
âYou bunch of stupid cunts! What makes you think you can boss me around? Get on your fucking knees. All of you! Break the legs of anyone who disobeys!â the man yelled, brandishing his blade.
âOn your knees!â His lackeys spat, their blades instantly resting on the studentsâ necks. Shaking in terror, the students who had never experienced something like this frantically knelt.
âHey! Why arenât you kneeling?â One of the lackeys spotted Dustin.
âYou guys are getting this wrong. I donât know them. Iâm just here to watch the show.â Dustin shrugged.
The students immediately glared at him, disgusted. He sure was a scaredyâcat.
The man in the suit glanced at Dustin but decided to ignore him, turning his attention to Mike instead. âHey. punk! Werenât you going to break my legs? Well, Iâm giving you that chance right now. Go ahead.â The man tossed his baton, which landed beside Mikeâs feet.
âThat was
a misunderstanding.â Mike smiled apologetically. âI was stupid. How about this? Iâll set up a small dinner party tomorrow at Empress Hotel as an apology.â
âFuck you!â The man slapped Mike across the face. âAs if thatâs enough to appease me! Who the fuck do you think I am?â
âOâof course, thatâs not the only thing. Iâll also visit you with a grand present!â Mike forced a smile, looking rather pitiful.
Everyone couldnât believe their eyes. The man they looked up to was groveling at someone elseâs feet.
The man humphed. âI would have killed you already if you werenât my brotherâs acquaintance!â He kicked Mike aside before turning his gaze to Abigail. âBabe, itâs your turn now. Iâll let this matter go if you sleep with me. tonight.â
âIn your dream!â Abigail spat.
âIâve given you a chance!â The manâs expression darkened, and his palm flew to Abigailâs cheek.
âDonât hit her.â Edmund hurriedly put himself in front of his daughter. âIâll pay for your watch. Just give me two days. Iâll definitely bring you 800 thousand dollars!â

Chapter 408
âIâve got no time to wait, old man! I need someone to fuck right now, so no matter what, your daughter will be mine tonight!â The man signaled for two of his lackeys to tie Abigail up.
Edmund tried to stop them but was pinned to the ground by another man.
âLet me go!â Starting to panic, Abigail struggled and flailed around. She quickly looked toward Mike for help. expecting him to be her knight in shining armor as usual.
âLetâs talk about this. She is my friend. Canât you do me a favor and let her go?â Unable to stand it any longer, Mike began to plead.
âFuck off!â The man gave Mike another slap and swore. âWho the fuck do you think you are? Why the hell
should I do someone like you a favor? Fuck off, or Iâll kill you!â
Mike immediately fell silent, swallowing the words he was about to say. Similarly, the rest of the male students kept their heads down without a word, terrified of offending the younger brother of Lord Horst from
the Flame Dragon Gang.
âTake her away!â Not wanting to waste any more time, the man grabbed the tiedâup Abigail and turned to
leave.
âStop!â Edmund sprang up and grabbed one of the knives. He slid it against the suited manâs neck shakily and threatened. âNobody move! My blade might accidentally slip!â
âDo you have any idea what youâre doing, old man?â The other manâs face darkened.
âI donât care about that. Let my daughter go!â Edmund yelled, the blade digging into the other manâs skin.
âLet her go!â Flustered, the suited man was scared he might agitate Edmund.
âAbigail, run!â Edmund urged as soon as his daughter was released.
âBut what about you?â Abigail frowned.
âIâll be fine. You go ahead. Iâll be right behind you.â Edmund forced a smile, not noticing when someone snuck up behind him. That person sent him sprawling to the ground with a blow.
âDad!â Abigail paled and rushed toward her father but was pulled back.
âHow dare you threaten me!â The suited man touched the cut on his neck, infuriated. âYour family should be honored that I want to fuck your daughter. Iâll kill you if you refuse!â He grabbed one of his lackeyâs blades and swung it toward Edmundâs arm.
There was a soft hum as the blade cut through the air, but the noise halted when someone reached out to grab the blade in midair. The suited man struggled, but his knife didnât move an inch.
âThatâs enough,â Dustin ordered.
âHow dare you stop me!â The other man was flabbergasted. âI donât care if you want to kill everyone else, but you arenât allowed to touch Mr. Robinson,â Dustin warned.
âAnd if thatâs what I want to do?â The other man narrowed his eyes. âThen donât blame me for beating you up.â Dustin answered with a straight face.
âBeat me up?â Surprised, the other man burst out laughing. He sneered. âHey, punk! Do you even know what youâre saying? Look around you. These are all my men. Youâll be cut into pieces if you touch even a strand of my hair.â
âEven a strand of your hair, you say?â Abruptly, Dustin reached out and plucked a strand of the other manâs hair. âHere you go.â
âWhat?â The corner of the other manâs eye twitched. Feeling humiliated, he roared. âKill him!â.
Immediately, there was a loud bang as he flew backward, crashing into the wall astonishing everyone in the room.
