An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1411

Chapter 1411: Challenge For A Duel

“Hehehe…”

Ian suddenly burst into laughter, starting low and gradually getting louder, becoming increasingly uninhibited.

The onlookers felt their scalps tingling and instinctively moved away, creating distance from him.

Everyone knew that Ian had an eccentric personality, prone to fits of rage, especially when he unleashed his trademark sinister laugh. Every time it happened, it meant that bloodshed was imminent.

“You really have guts, kid!”

After his laughter subsided, Ian’s expression turned serious. “It’s been so many years, and no one has dared to speak to me like this. Inept? Talentless? Well… very well! Just for those two sentences, today, you are definitely going to die!”

Saying this, his hand moved towards the gun holstered at his waist.

“Ian! I warn you not to act recklessly!”

Natasha stood in front of Dustin, her voice cold. “Dustin is my man, and if you dare to harm him, I won’t spare you!”

“Hmm?”

Ian frowned, his face darkening. “Natasha, do you know what you’re saying? Are you going to oppose me for the sake of this small-time pretty boy?”

“So what if I oppose you? Do you think you can do as you please?” Natasha remained fearless.

Ian’s notorious reputation might intimidate lesser aristocratic families, but it was far from enough to scare her.

“Hmph! You’re a woman; I won’t argue with you.”

Ian gritted his teeth and turned his fierce gaze towards Dustin. “Kid, you’re acting so arrogantly behind a woman. What kind of man are you? If you have the guts, face me one-on-one. Let’s have a duel between men!”

“You’re not even worthy of fighting me,” Dustin replied calmly.

“You arrogant son of a bitch!” Ian’s face darkened even further. “I’m a prestigious fourth-rank Strong Martial General, skilled in both civil and military affairs. Who the hell do you think you are to look down on me?!”

“Good! Today, I’ll see what you’re made of!” Ian snorted and removed his coat, tossing it to one of his subordinates, then stepped onto the stage.
The dancers and performers on the stage were frightened and scattered.
