Chapter 414 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âHe actually got out?â Mike was stunned. He never expected Dustin to leave that place safely. He only made a casual call to his dad without expecting much.
Since when had his father gotten so authoritative?
âUm, are you all right?â Abigail was the first to walk out of the coffee shop and approach Dustin, the rest of the students following behind her.
âWhat couldâve happened?â Dustin splayed out his hands. âAnd why havenât you gone home yet?â
âAbigail was worried you were going to be chopped up, so she wouldnât leave.â Nina interjected. âStill, to think you managed to get out of there safely after upsetting Lord Horst. You sure are lucky. Iâll give you that.â
âIs he very powerful? I went easy on him just now and didnât give him a beating.â Dustin responded indifferently.
âWhat? You wanted to give him a beating?â Nina rolled her eyes. âAre you crazy? Lord Horst is the assistant leader of Flame Dragon Gang, and heâs got hundreds of men at his beck and call. No one could save you!â
âDude, word of advice? Donât think youâre invincible just because youâre a decent fighter. There are countless people out there who are stronger than you. You better lay low.â Mike grumbled.
âHeâs right. Youâre new to this place, so you donât have any idea how dangerous Millsburg can be. Do you think you couldâve safely escaped if Mike hadnât made a call to help you?â One of the boys snorted.
âMike? Which Mike?â Dustin was puzzled.
âThis one, of course!â The boy waved at Mike proudly, being the perfect lackey.
âHim?â Dustin shook his head, smiling. âFirst of all, I left using my own skills. It had nothing to do with others. Secondly, what makes you think that a person who cowered in fear because of Lord Horst could save me?â
âYouâre a stubborn brat!â Nina was displeased. âItâs bad enough that you arenât thanking Mike for saving you, but arenât you being rude by insulting him instead?â
âExactly! We shouldnât have asked Mike to help you if we knew you would be so arrogant!â the boys agreed.
âForget it. Since he isnât grateful for my help, let him stay in his bubble. Sooner or later, someone will teach
him a lesson.â Mike waved their words away, feigning generosity.
âSee? This is how a kind and generous person should act.â Nina gave Mike a thumbs up.
âYouâve still got a lot to learn before you can reach Mikeâs level.â the boys sneered.
Even the girls couldnât help frowning. Although they were attracted by Dustinâs good looks and brave attitude,
his disgusting character put them off.
âFine. If you think that he helped me, then so be it.â Dustin couldnât be bothered to argue. After lagging down a taxi, he turned and asked Abigail, âSince weâre traveling in the same direction, would you like to share a ride?â
âMike, Nina, Iâll be on my way. Let me know if anything comes up,â Abigall said her goodbyes before leaving

with Dustin.
As soon as the two left, Nelson and his brother emerged from the karaoke bar, looking displeased.
âHey, isnât that Lord Horst? He looks pissed. Do you think heâs going to hunt that guy down?â someone pointed out.
âHunt him down?â A mischievous twinkle lit up Mikeâs eyes. He quickly approached the two men with a sneaky smile. âLord Horst, are you trying to find the guy who fought you just now? I can bring you to him. I know where he is.â
âWhat?â Nelson exclaimed, his features contorting in rage.
Not noticing the other manâs shift in expression, Mike continued gushing. âLord Horst, you should teach that arrogant brat a lesson. Please donât worry about offending me. You can rough him up as much as you want!â
âRough him up? Iâll fucking rough you up!â Nelson roared, landing a firm slap on Mikeâs face. âYou fucking moron! Leave me out of your goddamn suicide mission! Fuck off!â
