An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 994

"What the hell? Is this brat crazy? How dare he challenge the Venerable Crane?"

"Where did this hothead come from? He has no respect for the Venerable Crane. Is he tired of living?"

"He's so reckless for his age. Seems like he hasn't faced society's wrath!"

The crowd discussed and pointed at Dustin. It was as if they were looking at an idiot.

Theodore was Skycrane's founder. He was a revered grandmaster respected by thousands and considered a legendary figure in Balerno martial arts.

Nobody would ever dare act disrespectfully against him. And yet, this little brat was challenging him publicly.

He might as well turn it into a suicide mission!

"You little prick, do you know what you just said?" Theodore's expression darkened.

In a sinister tone, he said, "If you don't want to die, kneel immediately. Grovel at my feet and call me grandpa, and I will let you live!"

"Hey, brat! What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and kneel!"

"Not anyone can address the Venerable Crane as grandpa. You're in luck!"

"You should feel honored to become Sir Crane's grandson. Don't be ungrateful!"

The crowd chattered incessantly. Their tones carried threats and warnings but mostly mockery and jests.

"Dustin, the Venerable Skycrane is a force to be reckoned with. Hurry up and apologize. That's the only way to live!" Emily exclaimed.

Even her master, who had broken through another realm, was no match for Theodore. It would be even worse for Dustin.

"Dustin, you don't have to worry about us! Just leave! Don't get yourself into trouble!" Vanessa chimed in.

She was grateful for Dustin's help. But in the current situation, he could not turn the tide.

He might get pulled into the mess if he insisted on being stubborn.

"Sir Crane, let me give you a piece of advice. It's better to be forgiving. Otherwise, things might turn ugly," Dustin said calmly.

"You little prick! You won't learn your lesson until you see death in the eyes!"

Theodore looked at him murderously. "Since you want to put your nose into someone else's business. I'll kill you first before killing all your friends!"
