An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1242
Scarlet was a prominent figure in the nation, establishing herself as a potential leader in the political scene. Zachary may be skilled in martial arts but would not dare to challenge such an influential person.
“Why are you silent now? Weren’t you showing off just now? If you’re brave enough, then fight me. Let’s see your abilities,” Scarlet jeered, shifting everyone’s attention to Zachary.
Zachary found himself in a dilemma. Acknowledging defeat would damage his reputation. But winning could lead to more trouble, risking consequences from the Martial Arts Union and potential blacklisting.
“Scarlet, I used to have a close relationship with your father. Is it fair to bring a crowd to my mansion?” Arthur asked seriously.
Scarlet replied breezily, “What does your connection with my father have to do with me?”
“You!” Arthur seethed with anger, feeling embarrassed to be reprimanded by someone younger. “Alright, let’s calm down,” Adam smiled and stepped forward.
He turned to Arthur and said, “Lord Grant, we didn’t come here to cause trouble today. We are here to get justice. You’re holding someone hostage, so it’s best to let them be the best for everyone.” go. It’ll
“Adam, there appears to be a misunderstanding here. The Grant family values peace and doesn’t kidnap people.
“Besides, today is my grandson’s engagement; we wouldn’t engage in such behavior,” Arthur denied.
“Lord Grant, maintaining this formal facade won’t help much. Your family’s actions are clear, and you know it. “It’s better to admit your mistake before things turn ugly,” Adam said with a forced smile.

“My sister here isn’t as patient as I am. If you provoke her, things could get messy. Think it through.”
“If you doubt our sincerity, feel free to search to prove it yourself,” Arthur suggested. He remained composed and convincing.
“Arthur, I’ve made my point. If you continue to be uncooperative, don’t blame us for being rude!” Adam’s friendly demeanor dropped, and his face darkened. With that threat, Arthur felt cornered, and his actions became increasingly unreasonable.
“Don’t try to reason with him. He won’t change his mind!” Scarlet, growing impatient, ordered, “Men, start dismantling this place!”
“Yes!” Following her command, the elite members of the Dark Panther Cavalry swiftly sprang into action.
“How dare you! Let’s see who’s brave enough to make the first move!” Arthur shouted, and his guards rushed forward in a tense standoff with the Dark Panther Cavalry. As a fight was about to break out, loud shouts came from the entrance.
“Make way for the Minister of War- Sir Hyde!” “Clear the path for the Commander of the Imperial City Guard-General Barker!”
“Step aside for Marquis of Riaz’s eldest son-Mr. Schmid!”
The three successive shouts were deafening, rattling the scene and instilling fear in everyone.
