Chapter 569 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âHave you asked me for permission before taking her away?â Dustin stood in front of Tyler, blocking his path. He had a frosty expression as he stood unyielding.
âHuh?â The guests were dumbfounded and in shock. They could not believe someone would dare to challenge Tyler This person mustâve had nerves of steel.
Zoeyâs eyes widened in surprise. âWhatâs Dustin doing up front? Doesnât he value his life?â Even if they disregarded Tylerâs background, the armed guards behind him were terrifying enough.
Zeke sneered. âHmph, he must have a death wish to challenge General Lionheart!â Tyler commanded the armed guards with an air of dominance. With just a single command, he could
have Dustin shot into oblivion
âFool! He thinks he can show off in front of Tyler just because heâs friends with Patrick. What a joke.â Gordon looked like he was looking at a corpse. While Patrick held a high social standing, he had no official position. He was absolutely incomparable to Tyler.
âThis is spelling trouble.â Adrianna frowned slightly. Even though she admired Dustinâs courage in standing up for the woman he loved, it was too dangerous in this situation.
You dare stop me?â With his hands still behind his back, Tyler sized him up. His chilling gaze fixed on him, like that of a predator locking onto his prey.
âWhy not? Natasha has every right to refuse to marry you. I wonât allow you to force her to marry you in public,â Dustin stated calmly.
âYou wonât agree?â Tyler raised an eyebrow. âSo what? Do you really think you can stop me?â
âYou can try. But I strongly advise against it. Otherwise, Iâll beat the shit out of you,â Dustin spat,
word for word.
âWhat?â The guests erupted in an uproar at his words.
âDamn! Is this kid insane? Heâs incredibly daring.â
âHeâs too brave for his own good!â
âHeâs openly challenging General Lionheart! He must have a death wish.â
The guests broke out into a discussion, with Dustin appearing like an idiot to them. Even the Harmons were pressured into silence at Tylerâs appearance. Where did this insignificant kid get the courage to act so boldly in front of such an influential figure?
âHmph! What an idiot!â Dylan sneered. He wasnât a match for Tyler, let alone that loser Dustin
âHe has commendable courage. Sadly, he wonât be living for long.â Kate rejoiced in his misfortune. She had always disliked Dustin, especially considering her brotherâs death had something to do with him. That was why she desperately wished for a tragedy to befall him.
âHector, you didnât plan this, did you? What can an insignificant brat like him accomplish?â Trent was frustrated. Dustin was only making things worse by challenging Tyler.
Hectorâs brows were locked in a frown as he remained silent. The time was not right, and he had to keep waiting. Natasha, on the other hand, sat beside him in worry, at a loss for words. In the face of his boastful statement, Tyler let out a chuckle. âDo you know what you just said?â
âNo matter what I said, Iâve given you a warning. So stop whatever youâre planning. Donât make me hit you.â Dustinâs expression was unwavering.
âYouâve got balls.â Tyler nodded. âI admire your bravery. Sadly, youâre not qualified to play the hero in front of me. Iâll give you three seconds. Get lost! Or die!â
The armed guards behind him raised their guns at his words, rows of gun barrels aimed directly at every part of Dustin. They would immediately shoot their target into oblivion upon their generalâs orders.
âHold it!â
âStop right there!â
