Chapter 89 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
There were a lot of people gathered in the bar. Some of them were spectators. Others were involved in the fight.
The group that the onlookers were most interested in was a small group led by James. A few of them had bruises covering their faces and blood rushing from their faces. They were forced to kneel on the ground, looking hopeless.
âJames, how did you end up like this?â Dahlia could not help but frown when she noticed Jamesâ injuries.
âSis! Youâre finally here!â James staggered as he stood up. It was almost as if he had met an angel.
âOh! My poor son! Who did this to you? Tell me. Iâll give them what they deserve!â Florence shrieked at James, heartbroken. Even when her son made a mistake, she could not bring herself to life a finger against him. There was no way she would allow others beat him up like this.
âMom! Thatâs the bastard who hit me!â James pointed behind him, looking vicious.
Florence followed his gesture, and her eyes fell on a beautiful woman in a revealing dress sitting calmly at a table. Behind her stood a few burly, strongâlooking men.
âBitch! You are all dead meat! My sister is the president of the Quine Group! You will pay for hitting me!â James roared. They would pay twice the price of what he had gone through!
âThe Quine Group? Is it powerful?â The woman in the red dress swirled her glass of wine, unfazed by his words.
âHumph! You donât even know the Quine Group! I knew you guys looked uncultured! Let me warn you. Hurry up and apologize to my son and settle for his medical fees. Otherwise, youâll all pay the price!â Florence warned.
âOld bitch! You dare disrespect our boss? Iâll rip your tongue apart!â shouted one of the men standing behind
the woman in red. He pulled out a switchblade.
âWhat? Are you threatening me? You think you scare me?â Florence scoffed as she stumbled two steps
backward with fear. She was stubborn.
âWhat happened?â Dahlia had always been the rational one. She started asking about the situation.
âWhat happened? You should ask your brother about that.â The woman in the red dress stood up slowly and
pointed at James. âHe started making a commotion at my place. He even started hitting my men. I was just
teaching him a lesson. Iâm not crossing the line, right?â
âIâll pay for the damage done. But why did you have to be so cruel to him?â Dahlia asked, frowning.
âCruel? Haha! I already went easy on him. Otherwise, he wouldâve lost more limbs!â The woman sneered. Enough! I wonât waste another second with you. If you want to settle this peacefully, hand over 700 thousand dollars! If you donât, none of you will leave this room!â
â700 thousand dollars? Why not go rob someone?!â James roared.
âThatâs right! I havenât dealt with you for hurting my son! How dare you ask us for money? Where did you get
your guts?!â Florence glared at her.

âYou guys better come to your senses while Iâm still being nice. After my man gets here, it wonât be as simple as handing over money,â the woman replied calmly.
âSo what if you have a man? Tell him to come here this instant if you dare! I want to see how capable he really is!â Florence pushed, unafraid.
âYouâre messing with the wrong guy! Do you know who our ladyâs man is? Heâs Sir Draco! Our leader of South
City, the Cobra!â boasted one of the men.
âThe Cobra?!â
The Nicholson family immediately turned pale.
Swinton had four main territories: the North, South, East, and West Cities. East City was ruled by the King of the Underworld, Trevor Spanner. Meanwhile, South City was ruled by the infamous Cobra!
Compared to the King of the Underworld, the Cobra was said to be even more relentless and vile. According to legend, the Cobra loved raising alligators. Anyone who dared cross him was fed to his gators. People from West City could not afford to offend the Cobra.
They really were in trouble this time!
