An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2058

In the center square of the ancient town, a crowd of onlookers, primarily martial artists, had gathered.

All eyes were on a young man in warrior gear, rocking wooden sandals and a bun hairdo. He chilled on a bench with only a bottle of wine and a sword on the table.

The man sipped his drink casually, not bothering about the talks around him. Behind him stood a middle-aged man in a suit and white gloves, dressed like a butler.

Though the butler seemed meek around the young man, his eyes scanned the crowd with a snobby air.

The butler spoke loudly to the gathering crowd, "Listen up, people from Dragonmarsh!

"Meet our young master, Marco Alessandro! We're from Kimboku and came to Sacred Wyrm Summit to challenge the best fighters from Dragonmarsh.

"We're having a three-day tournament. If anyone can beat Mr. Alessandro, they'll get the 'Demon Sword,' one of Kimboku's top ten swords!

"But if you're not up for it, you'll have to cancel the tournament and accept that you're just a bunch of eastern scoundrels!"

As soon as he said this, the whole crowd went wild. Those with a short fuse started throwing insults right away.

"What the heck! You're incredibly arrogant. I'm not going to let you off!"

"Bastard! How dare you display such arrogance in Dragonmarsh? You're practically begging for trouble meddling with us in this place!"

"Damn it! Don't even think about holding me back. I must confront these two imbeciles head-on!"
