An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1245
“Comparing numbers, now are we? Let’s see how many brains you have here!”
Scarlet didn’t bother wasting her breath at the crowd’s uproar and raised her sword. She was obviously
irritated. But before she could attack, Dustin stopped her. “Kid, don’t act impulsively.”
With Scarlet’s temper, she wasn’t afraid to kill. But if she did kill, the consequences would be severe.
The people they were up against were of different status. They were Oakvale’s high-ranking officials. If
Scarlet hurt them, she would be responsible for it. She might even be dismissed.
The Spanners were a prominent family and had many enemies. Once they had a weakness, their
enemies would use it against them.
The prime example was the time he was falsely accused of starting a rebellion. He didn’t want Scarlet

“Dustin, these people are despicable and only bully the weak. They will continue their acts if we don’t
teach them a lesson.” Scarlet glared fiercely at the group of people across from them.
“I know. Leave this to me.” Dustin slowly pushed Scarlet’s sword down. He turned his attention to
Landon. Coldly, he said, “Sir Hyde, I don’t wish to make a big fuss out of this. We’ll leave as soon as
the Grants release my friends.”
If it weren’t because he was worried for Natasha’s safety, he would never have been so calm.
“And who the hell are you? Do you have the right to speak here?” Landon gave him a disdainful side-
eye, not hiding his contempt. How dare a nobody speak to him?
“Sir Hyde, I’m just seeking justice. I hope you will cooperate with us.” Dustin’s tone was neutral.
“Justice? Ha! You broke into Grant manor and caused chaos, yet you’re demanding justice?” Landon
sneered. “I’m warning you. Leave immediately, or you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”
“Sir Hyde, my patience has limits; don’t push my buttons.” Dustin’s expression grew cold. He had been
extremely accommodating, but the person before him was too stubborn.
“So what if I do? Who the hell do you think you are to threaten me? I can ruin your family with just one
word!” Landon roared. “Hyde! Do you intend to fight?” Dustin’s gaze was turning hostile.
“Are you even worthy of fighting me? You should go back and check your attitude.” Landon didn’t
bother to hide his disdain.
“You’re seeking death!” Before Dustin could respond, Scarlet couldn’t hold back any longer. She raised
her sword and thrust it toward Landon’s chest. Her attack was quick, precise, and forceful. It was a
ruthless attack aimed at taking his life.
Dustin was a line of hers that no one should ever cross. Anyone who insulted him had to pay with their

“The audacity!” Rhett roared and unsheathed his sword. The two swords clashed with a clang. Rhett
staggered backward by the impact, almost losing his balance. His sword also broke in the process.
While Scarlet only jerked slightly as she deflected the attack. She raised her sword once more, aiming
at Landon.
“What?” Landon’s eyes twitched. He retreated hastily in shock. He didn’t expect Scarlet to be reckless
and use violence openly.
She was disregarding the court’s laws and the royal family’s authority. She was a madwoman! At that
moment, Zacahry jumped in and launched a palm attack, bending Scarlet’s sword.
Scarlet frowned. She was about to launch another attack when a loud voice echoed through the
entrance.
“Princess Consort of Theswe has arrived!”
The announcement left everyone in shock.
