An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1234
What was happening? Dustin, a brave but reckless man, had openly defied the Grant family’s authority.
Not only that, he had also brought a gang with him to cause chaos and lawlessness in the Grant
mansion.
“Listen up, Grants! Let Ms. Harmon go immediately, or we’ll fight fiercely today!” Cornelius led a group
of Kirin gang members and bravely confronted the Grant family’s forces.
“Fight fiercely? Are you even up to the task?” Tyler looked at him disdainfully. To him, the Kirin gang
was just a bunch of nobodies. Once his men got there, they could take them down easily.
“Dustin, you’re too idealistic. Do you think you can challenge us with these petty gangsters? That’s just
wishful thinking!” Kate scoffed.
The Kirin gang was impressive. Still, compared to the Grant family, they were insignificant and would
easily crumble. “If the Kirin gang can’t handle this, what about teaming up with the Stoneray Order?”

by a group of impressive people.
These people were in their fifties and wore long robes. While their presence was not strong, their
unwavering and profound demeanor demanded respect. They were none other than the Stoneray
Order leader, Linden, and his council of elders and disciples.
“Strange, why is the Stoneray Order here today?”
“They normally stay out of worldly affairs and disputes. What’s going on today? All their elders have
been sent. Even their leader, Dr. Watkins, who’s always been reclusive, has come.”
“I have a bad feeling that something big is going to happen today!”
The appearance of the Stoneray Order made everyone restless. The Stoneray Order held a significant
position in Balerno. Whenever someone became seriously ill, they turned to the Stoneray Order for
help.
Although seemingly powerless, their extensive connections made them just as influential as the
Tremendous Three. However, since the Stoneray Order had always remained neutral, their sudden
involvement aroused suspicion.
“Mr. Rhys, today I led my people to Zephyr Lodge to celebrate your birthday. I didn’t expect to find you
here. I hope I didn’t miss anything,” Linden said with a smile as he approached.
“You’re right on time.” Dustin nodded. “Dr. Watkins, what’s your plan? Are you going to support Dustin
and oppose the Grant family?” Kate asked icily.
If it was just the Kirin gang, the Grant family could easily deal with them, but if the Stoneray Order was
involved, it could get complicated.
After all, the Stoneray Order’s influence was immense. Openly opposing them would only bring harsh
criticism. “Dustin is one of the elders of our Stoneray Order. If he’s in danger, we cannot stand idly by,”
Linden calmly explained.
“He’s one of the elders of the Stoneray Order?” Kate raised an eyebrow. She hadn’t expected Dustin to
have such a background. That explained his audacity.

Harmon. Wouldn’t it be better if we avoided making enemies?” Linden advised in a meaningful tone.
“Dr. Watkins, you have no right to meddle in my affairs,” Tyler replied indifferently.
He continued, “Dustin killed my brother and openly challenged the Grant family’s honor. I’ve already
said that he’ll pay for it today, and no one can save him, not even you.”
He didn’t hold the Stoneray Order in high regard.
“General Lionheart, don’t overdo it, or you might regret it,” Linden cryptically warned.
“Regret? Does your Stoneray Order have that kind of power?” Tyler snorted coldly. “Before I lose my
patience, leave. Don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
“Tyler Grant! You have quite the high- handed attitude! Let’s see how you handle it without showing
mercy!”
Suddenly, a commanding voice sounded at the door. A distinguished middle-aged man then entered,
accompanied by an imposing group. This man was none other than George Xenos, the viceroy of the
Southern province.
