An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 657

"I bow before you in reverence, Mr. Rhys! Felix Miller, leader of the Charging Tiger gang at your service, sir!" As the crowd watched, Felix fell to his knees and prostrated before Dustin.

A hushed silence fell over the crowd. Chad was dumbfounded, as were Edmund, Abigail, and the onlookers. Even the members of the Charging Tiger gang were dumbfounded. Dustin found himself gaping at the sight before him.

No one had ever imagined that Felix Miller, the fearsome leader of the mighty Charging Tiger gang, known for being merciless, would publicly prostrate before Dustin. It was as though he had met someone whom he greatly admired and feared. It was quite unsettling and unthinkable.

"Wha—Is this for real?" Abigail stared wide-eyed.

"What on earth is going on?" The onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment and disbelief.

"Am I seeing things? The leader is prostrating before the little bastard?" Members of the Charging Tiger gang couldn't believe their eyes. Their leader held such prestigious status that even among the prominent Fabulous Five, he walked with his head held high. Why then would he tremble and shake at the sight of the young troublemaker, so much so that he could not even stand on his feet?

"No … no way!" Chad shook his head violently, his entire worldview shaken to its core. In his eyes, his father was an upright and heroic figure, always remaining stoic and composed even in the face of adversaries. So how could such a great person assume such a lowly stance before another?

"What are you playing at?" Dustin wondered aloud as he stared at Felix. He was certain that he didn't know this man. It was truly mind-boggling to have someone get down on their knees on the first meeting.

"I sincerely apologize for our behavior, Mr. Rhys. I hope you can find it in you to forgive us this once if we have offended you." Felix smiled apologetically, fear evident in his eyes.

"Do I know you?" Dustin asked.
