An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1421

Chapter 1421: Eighty Lashes

In the midst of a wailing crowd, Carlos and Roselyn were arrested.

No matter how they tried to explain or beg for mercy, it was of no use.

Silas had already been irritated, and now, two fools who didn’t know their place had jumped into the fray. Naturally, he needed to vent his anger properly.

Blame it on Carlos and Roselyn for running into trouble.

When nothing was really happening, they insisted on sowing discord and making trouble, clearly bringing it upon themselves.

In the military, the punishment of eighty lashes was no joke.

Even a strong and robust martial artist would need to lie down for ten days to half a month after receiving such punishment.

For ordinary people without training, the result would be even worse – they could end up beaten to death or crippled.

“Husband, those two who were just taken away seem to really dislike you. Have you offended them?” Natasha couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity as she watched the two being dragged away.

“They’re just two rabid dogs, not worth bothering about,” Dustin shook his head.

Roselyn and Carlos were typical bullies who groveled to those in power and looked down on others.

On one hand, they flattered and fawned over important figures, while on the other, they acted arrogantly and disdainfully towards others.

Perhaps in their eyes, he was just a poor bumpkin from the countryside, destined to be stepped on and never rise above his station.

But whenever he achieved something, they couldn’t stand it, and they would use all sorts of tricks, both overt and covert, to hinder and mock him.

In short, they couldn’t stand to see him succeed.

The hearts of such people were too dark, too contradictory, and too despicable.

Their current situation was purely of their own making.

“Husband, the Bryant family is a military aristocracy, and their family members have been practicing martial arts since childhood. There are many experts among them. It might be risky to challenge them in a duel,” Natasha expressed her concern.

“Don’t worry. If I dare to challenge them, I’m sure of my abilities. The Bryant family won’t be able to do anything to me,” Dustin confidently smiled.
“A fair and open duel is one thing, but I’m afraid the Bryant family might resort to trickery.”
