Chapter 577 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Hector was astonished at the thought. He turned his head and looked toward Dustin, finding him calm and collected. It appeared as if he were an outsider in the situation. However, that was exactly what made him indiscernible.
Upon deep reflection, Hector realized that the Harmonsâ situation had taken a turn for the better when Dustin started challenging Tyler. Was this young man in front of him really the person who turned the tide? It would be frightening if that were the case!
âMr. Hector, Iâm needed elsewhere, so Iâll be taking my leave first.â George left after saying his goodbyes. He didnât expose Dustinâs identity as he was worried about making things complicated for him. Some things were better left untold.
âGuess thereâs no more fighting. Iâll be leaving too.â Paul gave Dustin a knowing look before
leaving with his head held high.
âMr. Hector, see you next time.â Sir Moran shook his hand and left as well.
As the influential figures departed, the ballroom livened up even more. Not only did the guests discuss among themselves, but even the Harmons were making their own speculations.
âDad, I canât believe youâre influential enough to be able to invite Sir Paul and Lord Xenos over. Youâre amazing!â Natasha walked up with a huge smile on her face. With two influential figures backing them, she was sure Tyler wouldnât dare force her hand in marriage any longer. She
considered herself to have broken free from him.
âHector, it seems you have more tricks hidden up your sleeves. Iâm impressed!â Trent and a few of his people went up to Hector as well. Each of them looked proud, their faces brimming with excitement. With Lord Xenos and Sir Paul backing them, the Harmons would be unstoppable.
âTrent, it wasnât me. I donât have that kind of influence.â Hector remained modest and shook his
head.
âThen who could it be if it wasnât you?â Trent was puzzled and confused.
âIâm wondering the same thingâ¦â Hector rubbed his chin and glanced at Dustin once again. He asked meaningfully, âDustin, do you know who could have invited them?â
Before Dustin could respond, a clear and loud voice interjected, âUncle Hector, thereâs no need to speculate any longer, as that would be me!â The crowd turned their heads in the direction of the voice and saw Dylan walking over proudly.
âDylan, are you acquainted with Lord Xenos and Sir Paul?â Trent was pleasantly surprised.
âAlthough I donât know them personally, they appeared because of me.â Dylan was confident.
âOh? Why do you say so?â Trent was taken aback.
âIâm associated with the Dark Panther Cavalry, and I have the backing of the Goddess of War. Itâs likely that they recognized my potential and talent and decided to help out.â Dylanâs head was held high.
âThatâs right! Dylan is the Scarlet Warriorâs trusted aide. Itâs natural for Lord Xenos to take a liking
to him,â Kate chimed in.

âSo thatâs why⦠No wonder Lord Xenos was that enthusiastic.â
âDylan truly is exceptional to have gained the favor of the two influential figures.â
âDylan, I didnât know you had such powerful connections. Youâre amazing!â
At that moment, the crowd showered him with praises, hailing him as their savior.
Jacob laughed heartily and was filled with pride. âMy son is so talented!â He was clued in on Sir Moranâs appearance. However, he didnât expect his son to be so skilled that he would garner Lord
Xenos and Sir Paulâs attention.
âI think thereâs more to this. Dylanâs status is not enough to impress the viceroy,â Natasha said after thoughtful consideration. She noticed George never even glanced at Dylan throughout the entire ordeal.
âHmph! Youâre just jealous!â
