Chapter 427 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âNatasha is engaged to Tyler Grant?â As Dustin watched the departing vehicle, he couldnât help but narrow his eyes. Clearly, this was a strategic alliance between two prominent families, and Natasha was the sacrificial pawn in this alliance. Born into a prestigious family, she enjoyed wealth and luxury but lost her freedom. At certain moments, she even had to make sacrifices for the sake of their familyâs interests.
Of course, Dustin would never allow such a thing to happen. With that in mind, he took out his phone and dialed a particular number.
âHello, Nelson. Help me investigate someone.â
âNo problem. May I ask who you want me to investigate, Sir Rhys?â Nelson asked.
âTyler Grant.â
âTyler Grant?â Nelson raised his voice upon hearing Dustinâs words. âSir Rhys, why do you want to investigate him?â
âOf course, to deal with him. Do you think Iâm inviting him out for a meal?â Dustin replied impatiently.
âWhat?â Nelson froze in place, his voice trembling. âSir Rhys, please donât scare me like that. Iâm easily frightened. I canât handle this!â
âWhatâs the matter? Is Tyler that formidable?â Dustin asked in response.
âHeâs way more than that. Sir Rhys, this person is like the living King of Hell. We canât afford to provoke him! He can easily wipe out the Flame Dragon Gang if we offend him!â Nelson sounded like he was tearing up.
What kind of person was he working for? His first task as the new gang leader was to deal with Tyler. Werenât they seeking their own death?
Known as a onceâinâaâcentury genius, Tyler was the future head of the Grant family. Despite being only in his thirties, he had fought on many battlefields and achieved various victories. He earned the title of General Tiger with a thirdâranking official position.
Not only was he tremendously powerful and exceptionally talented, but he also commanded an army of tens of thousands.
Anyone who provoked such a formidable individual would be doomed!
âWhy are you panicking? I didnât ask you to assassinate him. I only want you to gather information about him,â Dustin said calmly.
âSir Rhys, if you have any ill intentions, itâs best to forget about them. It would be wiser to jump off a building than to provoke Tyler, Nelson said, his voice filled with fear.
âStop the nonsense! Just do as I say!â Dustin shouted.
âYes, yes⦠Iâll do it immediately.âNelson didnât dare to say more and quickly complied. However, deep inside. he silently prayed that Dustin wouldnât act recklessly. Or else the Flame Dragon Gang would suffer the

consequences.
Meanwhile, in the Hill familyâs house, an elderly man with a white beard and eyebrows lay on the bed. His face was pale, and his body was weak. Bloody phlegm filled the copper basin under the bed.
A group of Hill family descendants gathered anxiously around the bed..
Paul Hill, the patriarch of the Hill family, had four sons named Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Besides that, he had dozens of grandchildren. He had a big family.
âSpring! Wasnât Father doing well yesterday? How did his internal injuries relapse?â Autumn paced back and forth, his expression filled with anxiety. Among the four brothers, he was known for his impatience.
âAutumn, you know about Fatherâs chronic ailment. None of the doctors could cure it.â
Spring shook his head and sighed. âIf he had watched out more usually, it wouldnât have been a big problem. But he almost went astray to push his cultivation to the limit this time. He was too impulsive!â
âGoshâ¦â Autumn grumbled, âWhy is he pushing himself so hard at his age?â
âEnough talk. Letâs go to Stoneray Valley and bring Dr. Linden here to treat Father,â Summer suddenly said.
âDr. Linden is currently in seclusion and cannot come, but I have already called Mr. Turner to come. There shouldnât be any problems with him here.â Spring replied.
âThen quickly call and urge them! Why havenât they arrived yet?â Autumn was becoming increasingly anxious.
âOh no! Grandfather is coughing up blood again!â
At that moment, a muscular young man exclaimed in shock.
He was Autumnâs son, Torben Hill. He had tan skin and a robust figure.
âWhat should we do? He keeps coughing up blood. Is there something wrong with Father?â Autumn was shocked.
