An Understated Dominance
Chapter 525 by Marina Vittori

Instantly, silence ensued. Looking at the lupine guards who had drawn their last breath, everyone was so terrified that they were lost for words. They couldn’t believe that all nine guards had lost their lives because of Dustin’s stomp.

When Jayla came back to her senses, she blew up at once and shouted, “How dare you kill my lupine guards!”

Each and every one of the lupine guards had been carefully trained by the Grant family. Now that ten of them were dead, how could Jayla possibly put up with it?

“It won’t end with just their deaths; you are going to pay back for what you did!” With a cold expression on his face, Dustin slowly walked closer to Jayla, his eyes darkening.

“W-what do you want to do? I’m warning you; don’t do anything absurd!” Jayla took two steps back in fright.As if she felt that it was embarrassing to retreat, she stopped at once and held her head high, putting on an arrogant look.

She was the daughter of the Grant family. Why was she afraid of someone like Dustin? “You’ve got to pay back twice the harm you’ve inflicted on Natasha!” Dustin threatened.

“Don’t you dare!” Jayla shot daggers at him. “I have the Grants behind me. If you lay a finger on me, even a divine being can’t save you!”

“Really?” Suddenly, Dustin grabbed Jayla by the neck and lifted her off the floor.

Kicking her legs frantically, Jayla began to cough violently. She struggled to break free from his grip but failed. It was getting difficult for her to breathe. Soon, the fear of death gradually flooded her mind.

“L-let me go! Or else, you’re going to have a miserable death!” Jayla shouted.

“Dustin, don’t hurt her!” Right then, Natasha couldn’t help but stop him. Although she hated Jayla, the latter wasn’t someone who could be easily provoked. If Jayla was hurt, it would lead to the Grant family seeking revenge on them.

“She’s too arrogant. She will only continue to overstep the mark if she is not taught a lesson.” Dustin tightened his grip around Jayla’s neck.

Jayla’s face flushed; she couldn’t breathe.

“Stop!” A loud shout suddenly came from the door.

Everyone was dumbfounded at the sight before them. Elton was an extremely formidable existence, but now he had been killed by Dustin in just one move.

It was simply hard to believe!

“H-how is this even possible?” Looking at Elton’s corpse, Jayla was stunned. Her face was

full of disbelief.

“That was the powerful leader of the lupine guards, and now he’s dead?” she muttered

inwardly.

“How dare you kill our leader?”

“Today is going to be your death day!”

After recovering from their shock, the remaining nine lupine guards flew off the handle and surged forward at him with their weapons drawn.

Expressionless, Dustin stomped his foot all of a sudden.

With a loud boom, the floor cracked the next second. A burst of violent true energy then presented itself in an instant and smashed fiercely onto the guards.

As if they had been knocked down by a train, the lupine guards were sent flying across the air, blood gushing out of their mouths. All it took was a stomp, and every one of the lupine guards died before they could even land on the floor.

Instantly, silence ensued.

Looking at the lupine guards who had drawn their last breath, everyone was so terrified that they were lost for words. They couldn’t believe that all nine guards had lost their lives because of Dustin’s stomp.

Jayla’s face flushed; she couldn’t breathe.

“Stop!” A loud shout suddenly came from the door.

The next second, Jacob rushed in fiercely with a group of elites from the Harmon family.

When he saw the lupine guards lying dead on the floor, his expression changed at once.” Dustin, let go of Ms. Grant immediately! Stop making mistakes!”

“She has disfigured Natasha’s face, not to mention the barrage of insults. Today she has to be given a tit-for-tat,” Dustin said coldly.

Shifting his gaze to Natasha, whose face was covered in blood, Jacob couldn’t help frowning. After a moment’s hesitation, he bit the bullet and said, “Don’t worsen the situation, Dustin.

first!”

Let her go

“Let her go?” Dustin turned around. “As an elder, aren’t you supposed to protect Natasha? She has been severely injured, and now you’re telling me to free the perpetrator?”

“You can’t afford to offend Ms. Grant. Don’t drag us down!” Jacob shouted.

“That’s right! Let go of Ms. Grant now!” The rest of the Harmons echoed.

Jayla was Tyler’s sister. If something bad were to happen to her here, the entire Harmon family was going to suffer the consequences.

“What if I refuse?” Dustin narrowed his eyes.

“Don’t force me to attack you!” Jacob’s face fell.

Most of the people with him slowly drew their weapons, their gazes filled with hostility. In an instant, Dustin ended up being their target.

At the sight of that, Jayla laughed complacently. “Rhys, do you see this? Even the Harmons have no guts to offend me. Get your hands off of me right now! Who do you think you are to mess with me?”

No matter how strong a fighter was, in front of the powerful Grant family, they would still

have to bow down to them.

“Are you going to stand by and do nothing when your family member has been attacked? Is the Harmon family so weak?” Dustin glanced around with a piercing gaze.

Those who met his eyes couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.
