An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1049

"Unbelievable!"

"This is outrageous!"

"You have the nerve to mess with the Harmon family. You must have a death wish!"

The startled guests shouted and protested.

The commotion drew the guards' attention, who surrounded the area.

Dylan sneered at Dustin. "You've got some nerve attacking me. If your bodyguard was here, you might have a chance. But going up against me alone is just asking for death!"

Despite his previous loss to Cornelius, Dylan remained confident in defeating Dustin. Among his peers, he believed only Tyler could pose a challenge.

"Kid, today marks my ascent as the Patriarch. I don't want bloodshed, so surrender now," Trent shouted at Dustin.

He knew Dustin's skills and gangs, but it was nothing compared to the Harmon family's forces. Besides, he had the support of the Grants.

"Dylan's life ends today, and anyone who intervenes will die too!" Dustin proclaimed.

"How dare you!"

Trent barked at his guards, "Grab him!"

"Wait!" Dylan stepped forward.

"Uncle Trent, allow me to handle him myself."

"Yes, Trent. Let them settle their score," Jacob chimed in.

Trent understood that ganging up on Dustin would make them look like bullies. So, he agreed to a one-on-one duel, which would attract less attention even if Dustin died.

"Alright, he's all yours," Trent said, giving Dylan a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
