An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1240
Zachary flashed a sly grin. “Some argue that military strategy and martial arts are two different things. I’m curious if you are the master of combat, or is it my martial arts that will shine?”
His words excited the onlookers as they sensed a challenge brewing.
It was clear that a duel was going to happen. Christopher was best in strategy and tactics, while Zachary had few rivals in martial arts within the Balerno. Zachary had publicly challenged Christopher, and declining it would ruin Christopher’s reputation.
“Zachary, you’re not qualified to take on General Murray. Allow me to take the challenge instead!” Suddenly, a stern and authoritative female voice broke the tension.
All eyes turned toward a striking woman in red armor with short silver hair and an intimidating aura. She was carrying a three-foot viridescent sword and radiated a commanding presence.
“Wow! Look who’s here, the Scarlet Warrior!”
“Gosh, am I imagining things? Dragonmarsh’s top Goddess of War has joined in, too? What’s happening today? “It’s like a clash of titans! The gods are facing off!”
The place buzzed with excitement as Scarlet arrived. These were big names in Dragonmarsh, and catching a glimpse of even one of them was rare enough. The unexpected appearance of these extraordinary individuals was shocking.
“Oh no, not her again!” Kate whispered, hiding behind Tyler. The memory of Scarlet beheading Dylan with her sword still haunted Kate, filling her with fear.
“Could it be? Did Dustin also invite Scarlet here?”
Trent and the others were left speechless, their faces pale. Scarlet’s appearance at the Harmon residence seemed like a coincidence back then. But her presence now clearly hinted at a strong relationship between her and Dustin.
“Scarlet?” Tyler frowned, his expression turning grim. In Dragonmarsh’s younger generation, Tyler was among the most skilled. But Scarlet was an exception.
Despite years of hard work, Tyler had only achieved the rank of a third- ranking General Lionheart. While Scarlet had reached the prestigious position of a First-Rank Goddess of War, allowing her to have close connections with the royal family. The difference between them was huge.
“Oh, it’s Ms. Spanner,” Christopher remarked with a faint smile, showing little surprise. Considering Dustin’s status, it made sense for someone from the Spanner family to be here.
“Hey, wait up! Can you slow down a bit?
As Scarlet entered, a group of people followed behind her. At the forefront was a man dressed impeccably, exuding elegance and resembling Scarlet. Despite his unassuming appearance, the intensity in his eyes sent shivers down on everyone’s spines.
“Adam Spanner! It’s the God of War!”
The entire room burst into amazement once the crowd saw him.
