Chapter 756 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
The moment Caius bowed, everyone was stunned and stood frozen in place. They were all dumbfounded as their expressions filled with shock.
Unbelievable! The man before them was none other than Azkabanâs warden, a formidable martial arts grandmaster! He was a terrifying figure who held absolute authority over the fate of the prisoners.
It wasnât an exaggeration to say the warden was revered like a God within the prison walls. His very presence commanded respect. The idea of such an authoritative and godlike figure kneeling before a prisoner seemed utterly impossible.
âC-Caius? Why are you bowing? Get upâ¦â The well-dressed, portly man was the first to react. He quickly fushed to Caiusâ side, attempting to help him up.
âF**k off!â Caius slapped him and lashed out, âDonât drag me down into the grave you dug!â
âHuh?â The portly man slumped to the ground, his face ashen. Had he offended an incredibly influential figure? His brother-in-law disassociated himself from him without hesitation.
âCaius Roswell? Azkabanâs warden?â The sudden turn of events left Dustin confused. âI donât think I know you.â
âYou may not know me, but your esteemed reputation precedes you. What happened today has been a mistake, and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive us, Your Grace.â Caius maintained his bow.
He was anxious and broke out in cold sweat. If the Prince of Theswe found out they were holding the Rhys familyâs kirin in Azkaban, Caius knew he would face dire consequences. After all, the Prince of Theswe had a protective nature.
âYou got the wrong person. Iâm not someone of noble rank.â Dustin responded stoically. He could tell Caius was fearful of the Rhys familyâs influence.
âRight, right. My mistake. It was a slip of the tongue. I should have addressed you as Sir Rhys.â Caius nodded and smiled apologetically.
Caiusâ fearful and servile demeanor left Cornelius and the rest of the prisoners dumbstruck. The formidable and merciless warden of Azkaban now appeared like a mere servant.
âOh my God! Who the hel l is this young man? He actually made the warden bow before him.â
âWho knows? But heâs definitely someone with a formidable background!â
âI canât believe our Shadow Gang managed to recruit such a formidable figure. Itâs hard to tell if itâs a blessing or a curse.â
Everyone looked at Dustin differently. At first, they thought he was just another new prisoner. They taught him the rules, bragged, and even played the role of a boss.
Who would have thought this seemingly ordinary young man had such a formidable presence?
Even the warden of Azkaban had to show him deference.
âI misjudged him!â Cornelius swallowed. He recalled how he had wanted Dustin to bow before Caius. But their roles were remarkably reversed instead.
âOh, Sir Rhys, by the way, someone is waiting for you outside. Why donât I escort you out? Itâs dirt y and sm elly here. It certainly doesnât befit your status,â Caius suddenly changed the subject. âSomeone is waiting for me? Who?â Dustin was curious. It had to be someone extraordinary if they could help him out of Azkaban.
Caius kept him in the dark instead of giving a direct answer. âYouâll find out when you get out.â âLetâs go.â Dustin nodded. He had just taken two steps forward before stopping abruptly.
He looked back at Cornelius and the rest of the group. Then, he said, âThese people are my friends. Theyâre not exactly bad people. Can you release them?â
