An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1238
The Grant family had been a powerful force for generations. Their strength came from their accumulated influence over the years. Arthur, the former family patriarch, was a brilliant strategist.
In the past, during power struggles, he made wise decisions to form alliances. He rose in the political world, became a significant figure within the family, and earned the title of Earl of Loyalty and Valor.
Arthur’s authority and military capabilities were comparable to Christopher’s and even exceeded him in certain aspects. The only difference was that Christopher achieved his position through battles, while Arthur excelled in politics. Regardless of their paths, they were both remarkable men.
“Haha! This is great! Sir Arthur is here!
“With Sir Arthur here, no one will ever challenge our family again.”
The arrival of Arthur brought joy to the Grant family, filling them with a renewed sense of relief. They found their source of strength and put their worries to rest.
“Kate! There is hope! We do have hope! “cheered Trent, who was happy to see the turn in events. He had been worried about how things would turn out, but Arthur’s presence gave him new hope.
“This is amazing! I knew I made the right decision!” Kate rejoiced that she chose wisely, as Tyler had a promising future and a high-ranking grandfather.
The Earl of Loyalty and Valor was an aristocratic honor that wasn’t a title of nobility but carried great prestige and extensive connections. It even provided direct access to the royal family. Who would go against the Grant family when they had so much power at their command?
“Oh Dustin, what difference does it make to you even with Lord Xenos’s and General Murray’s support? You won’t be able to save Natasha, and you can do nothing to improve it.
“You’re doomed to be crushed by us forever!” Kate snarled, laughing manically. She acknowledged Dustin’s talents, but they would not be enough to save Natasha.
“Christopher, you are an honorable person, yet you are intimidating my grandson. Are you disrespecting our family?” Arthur stood impassively with his hands clasped behind his back as he addressed them. Given that they had caused a disturbance, there was no need to be polite.
“Arthur, let me be clear about this. Your grandson is the one who caused the trouble. We’re simply trying to get justice for that. Is there a problem with that?” Christopher replied calmly.
“If you are looking for justice, speak to me directly. Bullying my grandson is not the right thing to do,” Arthur asserted arrogantly.
“You’ve been in hiding, and God knows where?” Christopher retorted. “Now that I’m here, what do you want to tell me?” Arthur maintained his unwavering stare.
“Your grandson kidnapped someone he shouldn’t have. Release her, and we can all move on peacefully. Otherwise, he’ll be in serious trouble.” Christopher got straight to the point.
“Kidnap someone?”
Arthur turned to Tyler and asked, “Did you?”
“No,” Tyler said, shaking his head. “You heard it, right? Ty says no. You can go now,” Arthur said, waving his hand dismissively as if shooing away a fly.
“You think you can just chase us away with one word? Do you think we’re fools?” Christopher’s expression darkened.
“Then, what do you want?” Arthur’s eyes glint with hostility. “You can either give us the person we’re looking for, or we can look for her ourselves. The choice is yours,” Christopher said bluntly.
“The person you’re looking for isn’t here, and you don’t have permission to search my mansion. This isn’t a place for you to wander around!” Arthur replied sternly.
“Look, old fool. You’re just being stubborn, aren’t you?” Christopher grew frustrated.
“You want to play games? Alright, I’m tearing down this place today!”
