An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1109
“Is this guy a monster?” Diego muttered.
“Okay. It’s your turn!” Dustin glared at the scared Diego. “Mr. Rhys, let’s talk it out. No need for a showdown. I’ll return your woman and leave, never bothering you again,” Diego begged.
He had over twenty warriors at his disposal, but they were no match for Dustin. He couldn’t believe Dustin was this terrifying.
“Your fate was sealed when you kidnapped someone. Words won’t save you now,” Dustin declared, raising his sword. “Wait!” someone shouted. Then, Jayden stormed in with soldiers, followed by Vivian and Evan.
“You came just in time. These Kimboku people attempted to kidnap Sheila. Arrest him and bury them,” Dustin said, pointing to the lifeless bodies on the floor.
“Shut up! You have no say here!” Jayden retorted. He was surprised to see Diego. “Diego? Is that you?”
Diego was equally surprised. He had met Jayden during their studies abroad, and they were acquainted. “So, what brings you here?” Jayden asked.
“I…” Diego was speechless. He couldn’t confess to kidnapping Sheila and using her as leverage against Dustin.
“He won’t say it, so let me tell you,” Dustin explained. “He kidnapped Sheila with bad intentions. So, he should be arrested and interrogated to uncover other accomplices.”
“Hmm?” Jayden furrowed his brow.
“Jayden, it’s a misunderstanding. Don’t buy into his nonsense!” Diego began to deny it. He knew confessing now would seal his fate.
“Diego, whether it’s true or not, I’ll conduct a thorough investigation. I won’t wrong an innocent person or let a guilty one escape,” Jayden asserted. Then he turned back to Dustin. “Do you have evidence to support your claim that he kidnapped Sheila?”
“Do o you need evidence?” Dustin raised an eyebrow. “Take a good look around.” “I just got here. Can you explain what happened?” Jayden retorted.
Dustin pointed at the bodies on the ground. “See these masked men? They’re Kimboku warriors. Diego is from Kimboku, too. Do you see the connection? Isn’t that enough evidence?” Diego’s nervousness became evident at Dustin’s words.
“Not enough,” Jayden shook his head. “Is this not sufficient? Okay!” Dustin grabbed Diego and took out his phone.
He showed a video of Sheila’s kidnapping, saying, “Look at this video Diego recorded. Now, isn’t it clear who the bad guy is?” Diego couldn’t deny the evidence and looked pale.
“Let me see…” Jayden looked at the video. But then, trying to stay calm, he insisted, “This video is fake! Don’t accuse Diego without proof, or things won’t be pleasant!”
With that, he crushed the phone to destroy the evidence.
