An Understated Dominance - Chapter 22

Dustin and the one-eyed man were enjoying drinks at Peaceful Medical Centre when suddenly, Dustin’s phone rang.

“Hey, Dustin! Ms. Nicholson is in trouble. We need your help right away!” Lyra shouted as soon as he picked up.

“What trouble? What’s happening?” Dustin asked, his expression turning serious.

“It’s because of you! Ms. Nicholson was worried about your safety, so she went to talk to Sir Spanner. She hasn’t come out since. I think she’s in danger!” Lyra sounded urgent.

“What was she thinking? I told her it was none of her business. Why is she getting involved?” Dustin’s face darkened with concern.

“Dustin Rhys! Do you even care? Ms. Nicholson is trying to help you!” Lyra yelled, frustrated.

“Where is she?” he demanded.

“At the Drey Group!” she replied.

“I’ll be there right away!” Without another word, Dustin hung up and rushed out.

Meanwhile, in the Drey Group’s office, Dahlia slumped on the couch, feeling dizzy and sweaty. The alcohol was hitting her hard, and her limbs felt weak. Most importantly, her bag and phone had been taken as soon as she arrived, leaving her unable to call for help.

What could she do?

Just then, the door opened, and Trevor walked in wearing a robe.

“Why are you still dressed? Do you want me to take action?” He looked her up and down, clearly intrigued by her beauty.

Dahlia felt a surge of fear. “Sir Spanner, don’t do anything foolish. I have everything ready. My colleague will call the police if I’m not out in half an hour. They’re on their way!” she warned.

“Really? Are you trying to scare me?” Trevor smirked, not taking her seriously.

“Me?” Trevor laughed bitterly. “How do you think I got here? I’ll be honest. Many people in this police station are my men. Do you really think they would dare to touch me?”

“What?”

Dahlia’s face went pale as she heard his words. She thought she would be safe with her backup plan, but she never expected Trevor to be so fearless.

“Come on. Stop struggling. No one can save you today. Just follow my orders if you want to live!” Trevor started to move closer to her.

“Don’t come near me!” Dahlia shouted. In a panic, she grabbed a pair of scissors from the table, ready to defend herself one last time.

“You ungrateful brat!” Trevor yelled, furious. He punched Dahlia, and she collapsed to the ground, unconscious. He then pinned her down with his heavy body and began to tear her clothes, exposing her fair thighs and slim waist.

Just as he was about to reach for her, there was a loud bang as the door was kicked open. A handsome man stormed in, his face twisted with rage, his eyes looking like they could devour someone alive.

“Who are you? How dare you interrupt my business?” Trevor shouted, rising to his feet, clearly annoyed.

The newcomer didn’t respond. He simply took off his jacket and covered Dahlia with it.

Dahlia, barely conscious, caught a whiff of a familiar scent and felt a wave of security wash over her.

“Sir Spanner, huh? I’m the one who hurt your son. Do you have any last words?” Dustin looked at Trevor as if he were already dead.

“So it was you!” Trevor let out a sinister laugh. “You could have lived peacefully, but you chose to walk right into hell! How dare you break into my territory alone? You must want to die!”

With that, he reached out his hand…

Dustin pressed a button under the table, and an ear-piercing alarm blared. Instantly, chaos erupted. A crowd of men flooded the hallways and gathered in front of the office. The hallway quickly filled up, and it was dark outside. There were at least hundreds of people!

And the crowd was still growing.

“Kid, I heard you can fight,” Trevor laughed. “But what does that matter? I have over 200 men here. Let’s see how you plan to take us on today.”

Dustin’s skills as a fighter wouldn’t be enough against so many.

“You’re well-prepared,” Dustin said calmly as he glanced at the crowd. “But no one can stop me from killing you.”

“You’re brave! Let’s see what you’ve got! Attack!” Trevor shouted.

At his command, all the men charged at Dustin.

“Stop!” Suddenly, a powerful voice roared through the room, followed by several gunshots.

Everyone froze at the sound of the gunfire and quickly scattered.

An elderly man with white hair walked in confidently, dressed in a sharp suit. A few tough-looking shooters followed him.

“Mr. Anderson, what brings you here?” Trevor asked, smiling as he approached the man.

Everyone knew that Hunter Anderson was the president of the Swinton Group, one of the powerful Mighty Three. He could shake the whole Swinton with just a stomp.

“Get lost!” Hunter ignored Trevor and walked straight to Dustin. Concerned, he asked, “Mr. Rhys, are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Why are you here?” Dustin replied, surprised.

“I heard you were in danger, so I rushed over. Thank God I made it in time.”

“I’m on time!” Hunter said, wiping sweat from his brow, his face full of worry. If anything happened to Dustin in his territory, he knew he would be in big trouble too.

Chapter 22

“Mr. Anderson, do you two know each other?” Trevor asked, his eyes wide with surprise.

“Bastard!” Hunter shouted, his anger boiling over. He raised his hand and slapped Trevor hard across the face. “Who do you think you are? How dare you challenge Mr. Rhys? Do you have a death wish?”

“Huh?” Trevor was stunned. He couldn’t believe what was happening. His investigation had shown that Dustin was just an ordinary guy with no connections. So why was Hunter acting so nervous? Had Dustin been hiding his true identity all along?
