An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1204

Chapter 1204 Derek’s Command

If Ronald will survive, Dustin will be dead in the future.

“Hmph! With the Martial Law Bureau’s backing, what else can this Dustin do, no matter how powerful he is? Ultimately, he will have to yield,” Asher smirked.

He had thought that the Reeds family was doomed, but thankfully, Derek had stepped in just in time to turn the tide.

“Damn, I was almost there!” Eldric shook his head, a tinge of regret in his voice. Without Derek’s intervention, today would have been a complete success.

“As expected of Derek, just a few words were enough to intimidate Dustin.”

“Hmph, in the face of Martial Law Bureau, even the mightiest must bow!”

Many warriors in the audience sighed in relief. While they couldn’t accept Ronald’s defeat, the current outcome wasn’t too bad. At least his life had been spared.

After all, no one would be foolish enough to challenge Derek.

“Dustin, I’ll admit you’re skilled and powerful, but unfortunately, you still can’t kill me. As long as I’m alive, it’s not a true defeat,” Ronald declared, his smug smile returning. “Let me share another secret with you—I’m on the verge of breaking through to become a grandmaster. Within three months, I’ll make that breakthrough, and you’ll be nothing more than prey on my chopping board.”

“How do you feel? Angry? Afraid? Powerless? But what can you do, apart from waiting for your demise?”

“I’m now a member of the Martial Law Bureau, and you can’t afford to cross me.”
