An Understated Dominance - Chapter 409

“Um… Everyone was shocked to see the man being pushed aside. They never thought Dustin would actually hit someone. The man in the suit was Lord Horst’s younger brother, known for being arrogant and controlling many people. Even Mike, who came from a respected family, had to bow down to him. But here was Dustin, talking back and even fighting him. Where did he find the courage to do that?

“How could he hit Lord Horst’s brother? Is he crazy?” someone gasped.

“Offending Lord Horst is like challenging the Flame Dragon Gang. He’s finished!” another said.

“What a fool! He probably doesn’t even know who he just crossed,” someone else added.

Everyone watched Dustin as if he were facing certain doom.

“H-how dare you hit me!” the man in the suit said, struggling to get back on his feet. One side of his face was swollen, and as he spoke, two of his teeth fell out.

“Didn’t I tell you? I’ll beat you up if you try to touch Mr. Robinson. Did you think I was joking?” Dustin replied calmly.

“You’re dead meat!” the suited man screamed. “What are you waiting for? Get him!”

“Let’s go!” His followers charged at Dustin with aggression.

Instead of running away, Dustin moved confidently through the crowd. Like a whirlwind, he pushed away anyone who got too close. Within minutes, all twenty-three men were on the ground, groaning in pain from broken limbs.

“What?”

Everyone stared in disbelief at Dustin, who had won the fight without any weapons. He didn’t just win; he had completely defeated them!

Was Dustin even human?

“Holy cow! Who knew that skinny kid could fight like that?” one person exclaimed.

“I misjudged him. He’s not a coward. He’s…”

Dustin was often seen as just an introvert, but that was about to change.

“Wow, he’s good-looking and fights really well! I wish he was my boyfriend!” one girl exclaimed after watching him in action. The students’ opinions of him shifted instantly, especially the girls, who now looked at him with admiration.

Suddenly, a man in a suit stumbled back in fear. “W-w-who are you?” he stammered. Dustin had taken down his tough-looking friends without breaking a sweat, and it scared the suited man.

“It doesn’t matter who I am,” Dustin replied calmly. “You have two choices: you can either let me hurt you, or you can apologize to Mr. Robinson.”

The suited man regained some confidence. “Don’t think too highly of yourself! My brother is Lord Horst from the Flame Dragon Gang! You’re messing with the wrong people!” he yelled, trying to sound tough.

But Dustin wasn’t interested in his threats. He slapped the man again. “Arrogant, aren’t you?” he said, delivering another hit.

“Flame Dragon Gang, you say?” Another slap rang out.

“And Lord Horst?” Dustin asked, hitting him once more. “I’m hitting you right now. What are you going to do about it?”

With each question, Dustin struck the man, who soon had a swollen face. The girls watched, hearts racing at the sight.

Even Abigail, who had thought Dustin would be a coward like her father, was surprised to see him stand up to Lord Horst’s brother. This was what a real man should be like.

“Answer me. What are you going to do about this?” Dustin asked, gripping the man’s collar and lifting him up, his icy stare making the man tremble.

“Who dares to attack my brother?” a booming voice shouted. Everyone turned to see who had spoken.

Dustin and the others turned to see a tall figure walking toward them with confidence. A few bodyguards in suits trailed closely behind him.

“Lord Horst?”

The students gasped in surprise. They quickly huddled together, feeling anxious. Lord Horst was the assistant leader of the Flame Dragon Gang, commanding hundreds of men. They knew better than to cross someone like him, who didn’t care much for the law.

“It’s over, brat! Now that my brother’s here, no one can save you!” the injured man laughed triumphantly.

“Oh no! Even Lord Horst is here?” one girl exclaimed.

“I hope that hot guy is okay,” another girl whispered, worried for Dustin’s safety.

Mike, standing aside, smirked to himself. “You brought this on yourself for being so reckless. Let’s see how you suffer for messing with Lord Horst!”

He felt humiliated seeing how bold Dustin was, especially since all the girls seemed attracted to him. But now that Lord Horst had arrived, Mike felt certain that Dustin was doomed. He couldn’t wait to see him begging for forgiveness.

“You came at the perfect time, Brother! This jerk hit me. You have to help me get back at him!” the suited man complained loudly.

“Did you tell him my name?” Lord Horst asked.

“Of course! But all it did was make him hit me harder. He even insulted you!” the suited man added, further angering Lord Horst.

Lord Horst’s expression turned serious. “You’ve got guts, kid. Do you know who you’re messing with on my turf? Do you even understand the consequences?”

“Nope,” Dustin replied, shaking his head.

“Well, let me make it clear. I could chop off your arms and legs, or I might just kill you!” Lord Horst said, glaring at him.

“Really? I don’t believe you.” Dustin replied with a defiant look.

Lord Horst sneered, a small smile on his face. “You really are naive and foolish!” he said, his tone turning threatening. “You still don’t get how serious this is. I hope you don’t wet yourself when your limbs get chopped off.” He signaled to some of his men. “Clear this place out, boys!”

The students turned pale at his words. Whenever Lord Horst ordered his men to clear an area, it usually meant someone would get hurt, or worse.

With Lord Horst’s power and connections, it was easy for him to make people disappear.

Dustin was in serious trouble!
