An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1219
It was late at night. The crescent moon shone with a faint silver glow as a black car stopped in front of
the Grant mansion.
Vlad was the first to get out as the door swung open. He quickly directed his men as they carried a
huge burlap sack and rushed into the house.
Silently and discreetly, they made their way to a secret room. These were the lupine guards of the
Grant family, and the secret room was a place for interrogation.
“Open it!” Vlad ordered as he sat on a chair, pouring himself a glass of wine. One of the men deftly tore
through the sack with a knife.
Out tumbled a man, his hair disheveled and wounds visible across his body. It was Hector!
“Old man. do vou know who I am?”
Vlad asked with an icy gaze, swirling the wine in his glass.

amiss.
“Hey! You’re quite smart. You actually know me.”
Vlad took a huge gulp of wine and said coldly, “Since you already know who I am, this will be easy.
Hand over the treasure map, and I’ll spare you.”
“Treasure map? Ha!” Hector burst out laughing. “Has your patience finally worn thin? I thought you
wouldn’t want to risk your reputation and reveal yourself.”
Tyler had been careful while working meticulously to get his hands on the map. He didn’t come for the
map personally, as he had his own considerations. Plus, he was trying to keep his motives hidden from
prying eyes.
From the looks of it, the Grant family couldn’t wait any longer. “Enough with the nonsense! Surrender
the treasure map now or suffer!” Vlad shouted.
“The treasure map is the Harmon family’s most prized possession. Why would I give it to thugs like
you?” Hector shot back.
“Old man! Even in the face of death, you choose to remain stubborn? I’ll cut you in half!” Vlad yelled.
“Everyone dies, so what if I die a few years earlier?” Hector laughed as he kept a calm expression. He
looked ready to risk his life.
“Fuck! You’re putting on a brave front, aren’t you? Let me see, are you really that brave, or are you all
bark and no bite?”
Vlad stood up and picked a boning knife from the torture rack on the wall. It wasn’t a huge knife. In fact,
it looked small and delicate. Even so, the smaller the torture instrument, the greater the fear it instilled
in others.
“Can you see this knife? I’ll use it to skin you alive. Then, I’ll slowly slice your muscles off piece by
piece. You will suffer!” Vlad snickered cruelly as he flashed the knife in front of Hector, showing off his
brutality.
“Give me all you’ve got!” Hector remained steadfast and showed no fear. “Very well!” With a sinister

As the knife pierced his flesh, Hector trembled a little as he furrowed his brow. However, he quickly
regained his composure, not making a single sound.
“Oh wow! You resist quite well. Let’s see how long you can keep that up!” Vlad seethed with anger as
he stabbed Hector two more times.
In an instant, blood sprayed everywhere. Hector gritted his teeth and remained silent. Regardless,
beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
“Let me ask you again, are you going to surrender or not?” With a cruel expression on his face, Vlad
stabbed Hector’s shoulder again and this time, he twisted it around slowly.
“If you’re a man, kill me now!” Hector snorted coldly.
“You want to die? Haha, not so fast. I shall torture you slowly.” Vlad sneered as he applied more
pressure on the Knife.
