Chapter 882 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Natasha felt butterflies in her stomach as she basked in Dustinâs domineering presence. His glare was sharp. They were intense and fiery. She felt pleased to be protected by the man she loved.
âYou son of bitch! It seems you wonât understand how powerful we are until we teach you a lesson!â Kate erupted into anger as she yelled, âTake him away!â
As soon as she spoke, a dozen Harmon family guards charged forward. Each of them exuded murderous intent as they approached with sharp gazes.
âThe audacity!â Before Dustin could act, Cornelius had transformed into a ghostly shadow and shot across the heads of the crowd. With a graceful backflip, he landed confidently in front of the guards.
A loud explosion was heard as he launched a palm strike from a distance. A powerful divine aura surged like a wave, knocking over the guards to the ground.
The lingering force became a fierce gust of wind, forcing the rest of the Harmons to stagger backward. They couldnât keep their eyes open.
As the wind subsided, all their guards were lying on the ground with severe injuries. They coughed up blood.
âWhat?â Everyone was shocked at Corneliusâ
appearance.
Nobody expected an unimposing, frail old man to have such formidable skills.
It was frightening that he could defeat numerous elite guards with just one move.
âWâwho are you?â Kate shrunk back involuntarily, scared.
âIâm nobody worth mentioning.â Cornelius spat out coldly.
Although he appeared thin, like a stick, nobody dared look down on him then.
He had manifested true energy externally. In other words, the old man was a formidable divine
-level martial artist!
âOld man, I donât care who you are. Get lost immediately! You have no right to meddle in the affairs of the Harmons!â Kate yelled.
She was not only the patriarchâs daughter. She was also Tylerâs fiance. Her standing in the family was second to no one.
âIâm not interested in the affairs of your family. But if you dare lay a hand on Sir Rhys, I will
break your necks!â Cornelius warned coldly.
âHow dare you!â Kate glared at him.
âDo you know who youâre talking to? Do you know who my fiance is?
âYou must be seeking death to be making a scene here!â
âMy life is worthless since Iâm old. If I die, so be it. But itâll be worth it if I can exchange my life for yours before I die,â Cornelius said seriously.
âYâyou!â Kateâs eyelids twitched as she took several steps back. She put more distance between herself and Cornelius.
She was afraid of facing someone so fearless and crazy.
âOld man, youâre not young anymore. Is it worth risking your life like this?â
Just then, Dylan suddenly stepped forward. He had an arrogant expression, and his sharp gaze held disdain.
As a divineâlevel martial artist and a highâranking commander of the Dark Panther Calvary, he had confidence in his abilities.
The weak martial artists in the martial world were powerless against him.
âDylan, that old man has some skills. You need to be careful.â Kate warned.
âDonât worry, Kate. Dealing with an old guy like him whoâs already one step away from his grave is easy for me,â Dylan said with pride.
âVery well, letâs cripple him first. Then weâll deal with Dustin,â Kate said with a sinister smile.
âOld man, Iâll give you a chance to kneel and beg for mercy from me. Then, you might still be able to keep your pathetic life.
âOtherwise, once I make a move, there wonât be a trace of you left!â Dylan threatened.
âBring it on, brat.â Cornelius gestured with his hand and remained impassive.
âGo to hell!â Dylan seethed in anger.
With a light jump, he shot forward like an arrow.
âTake my Tiger Fist!â
