An Understated Dominance - Chapter 279

“Huh?” General Jenkins and Jade were shocked when Bloodbest suddenly fell to his knees. They exchanged confused glances. What was going on?

Just moments before, Bloodbest had seemed fine. Why was he kneeling on the floor now? Was he praying before he tortured the skinny man?

While the others looked surprised, the skinny man was terrified, sweat pouring down his face. As a student of the Executioner, he knew the significance of the kirin tattoo.

The black kirin tattoo was unique in the world and had become a symbol of great power.

No wonder that person looked familiar. No wonder he dared to call the Executioner by his real name. This man was the Kirin of the Rhys family, who had nearly caused a national disaster ten years ago!

Oh no! What terrible things had he done?

He had encountered a harbinger of doom! He needed to escape before trouble hit!

“Mr. Bloodbeast, what’s wrong? Are you hurt?” General Jenkins asked, rushing to help the skinny man up.

“Damn it, it’s all your fault!” Bloodbeast yelled, slapping General Jenkins hard across the face.

General Jenkins stumbled back, shocked. “Mr. Bloodbeast, why did you hit me?” He held his sore face, trying to understand what had just happened.

“Why did I hit you? You should be thankful I didn’t kill you! What did I ever do to you? If you want to die, don’t drag me down with you!” The skinny man kicked General Jenkins to the ground and grabbed his bag, running away.

He even left behind his torture tools but didn’t dare to go back for them.

act like he’d seen a ghost.

“Huh?” General Jenkins looked confused again. What could have scared Bloodbeast, the notorious killer, into running away?

“How did this happen?” Jade’s eyes grew wide with disbelief. She had thought Bloodbeast would help her get revenge, but here he was, fleeing before even using his torture tools.

**Chapter 279**

What was happening?

“Punk, what did you do? How did you get Bloodbeast to let you go?” General Jenkins glared at Dustin, his anger clear. He had been too far away earlier to hear what was said.

“You’ve got me tied up; what could I have done?” Dustin replied.

Since Bloodbeast was Albert’s student, it made sense that he recognized the kirin tattoo on Dustin’s back.

“Hmph, that better be true!” General Jenkins said, frowning. Then he leaned closer to Jade and whispered, “Jade, this guy seems to know some dark arts. Are you sure he’s nobody?”

Bloodbeast’s strange exit made Jenkins suspicious.

“I’ve looked into him. He’s just a small-time guy who used to be someone’s live-in son-in-law. Now, he’s just a parasite living off the Harmon family. We shouldn’t be worried about him,” Jade said confidently.

With the Grant family’s resources, checking Dustin’s background was easy, and she was sure he wasn’t from a powerful family.

“That sounds odd,” General Jenkins said, pondering the situation.

“Are you scared or something?” Jade frowned. “With your status, you shouldn’t have any trouble dealing with him.”

“Are you scared of Pipsqueak?”
“That’s silly! There’s no way I’m afraid of him!”
