Chapter 582 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
While Dustin froze, Natasha blushed. âThis⦠this is too sudden. Iâm not prepared for it!â She followed that up by asking, âHave you chosen a date? When are we getting married?â
âHey, you thought I was for real? You should be embarrassed!â Hector glared at her. Natasha pouted. âYou said it yourself. Why are you yelling at me instead?â
âAlright, itâs time to get serious.â Hectorâs smile gradually disappeared. âEven though we overcame the situation for now, this matter is far from over. With Tylerâs personality, he will not take this sitting down.â
âWill Tyler still act recklessly with Lord Xenos and $ir Paul behind us?â Natasha raised an eyebrow.
âTyler might not confront us directly, but he will definitely act behind the scenes.â Hector was solemn as he continued, âLord Xenos and Sir Paul have also repaid their favor. They wonât help us a second time. We can only face him ourselves now.â
âDoes that mean trouble will continue brewing for us?â Natasha looked pensive.
âThere will be trouble, but the most important thing is Dustinâs safety.â Hector turned his attention toward Dustin and warned him, âTyler is an unsympathetic and prideful man. Whether it was your involvement in Jaylaâs death or your public confrontation with him, they were all unforgivable acts for him. You will be in danger going forward.â
âThank you for the warning, Uncle Hector. I will take note.â Dustin nodded. He knew Tyler would come after him to get revenge. But as long as Natasha was safe, there was nothing he feared.
âDuring this period, Iâll deploy team one of our shadow guards to protect you. That should lessen some of your troubles.â Hector declared.
âTeam one? Theyâre your personal bodyguards, arenât they?â Natasha was astonished. The Harmons had six shadow guard teams. Team one was the most skilled, with a divineâlevel martial artist leading them. They were considered the Harmon familyâs trump card. However, since team oneâs responsibility was specifically to oversee the patriarchâs safety, they werenât deployed easily.
Hector responded, âI donât need them for now. Let them protect Dustin.â
âUncle Harmon, actually, I donât need protecting,â Dustin tried to decline.
âThere are times when we slip up. With team one protecting you, they will act as an extra precaution to ensure your safety. Consider this our sincere gift to you. Donât refuse it.â Hector was serious.
Natasha nodded in agreement. âMy dad is right. Your safety comes first.â
âAlrightâ¦â Since Hector had put it that way, there was no reason for Dustin to refuse any longer.
Even though he wasnât afraid of Tyler, it would affect him slightly if Tyler decided to assassinate him. At least he could avoid unnecessary trouble with the shadow guards keeping watch on him.
In the meantime, inside the Grant family mansion, Roger was seated on the sofa, appearing pensive. âTyler, The Harmons have Lord Xenos backing them now. It wonât be easy to target them.â
âEven though we canât touch them publicly, no one said anything about acting in the dark.â Tyler stood with his hands behind his back. His gaze was unusually cold as he stared at a bird perched. on a tree outside the window. ? What
âOh? What are your plans?â Roger was curious.
âI have a few friends in the martial arts world. Iâm going to get them to act and create chaos within the Harmon family!â Tyler spat out coldly.
âBut, thatâs Paulâs territory ⦠â Roger was at a loss for words. Paul was highly influential as a martial arts master.
âHmph! Heâs just an old man nearing death. While his words hold a certain weight, it wonât be enough to stop me!â Tyler had a look of arrogance.
âIt seems like you have everything arranged. Is there anything I can help you with?â Roger asked cautiously.
âJust keep an eye on Georgeâs movements for me. As long as he doesnât enter the picture, I will play with the Harmons as I please!â Tyler clenched his fist. ·
âNo problem. Leave it to me,â Roger vouched as he patted his chest. He wasnât brave enough to challenge Lord Xenos. However, it would be nothing if he just had to monitor his movements.
After sending Roger off, Tyler suddenly turned around and faced a corner. âThat Dustin brat irritated me today. I asked you to kill him the last time, but I changed my mind. I want him to go. through a living hell!â
âRight away!â A shadow disappeared from the corner.
