An Understated Dominance By Marina Vittori Chapter 1230-The crowd had never seen such a bold move. In broad daylight, Dustin daringly stormed into the Grant mansion and captured Vlad. It was a risky move, like walking a tightrope without a safety net.

Vlad sneered, “Hey, brat! Can you see that? You’re surrounded. My family’s soldiers are standing all around. What makes you think you can take me on?” He continued to taunt, “If you want to live, let go and surrender. Kneel and beg for mercy. Maybe then, I’ll spare you.” “You want trouble?” Dustin grabbed Vlad by the neck and slowly lifted him with a chilling glare. “What, you dare touch me?” Vlad sneered. He remained fearless and taunted, “If you touch me, you’ll die, and your family and friends will suffer the same fate.” He continued, “Oh, and your woman, she’s in my basement. If anything happens to me, my men will rape her. Come on! Test me. Let’s see if you can handle the consequences.” Vlad laughed arrogantly. He seemed confident that personal courage could do nothing against overwhelming power.

The Grant family had many capable people and a strong army. Despite Dustin’s skills, he couldn’t cause a riot. “Do you really think I won’t kill you? Or do you think you can control me?” Dustin questioned him coldly.

“Do you dare? Open your eyes and see. You’re trapped. Your only option is to surrender,” Vlad taunted.

“Dustin! Let Vlad go now and give us the treasure map, or Natasha’s family and you will pay with your lives!” Kate threatened sharply.

“You have hostages, and so do I. It’s tit for tat,” Dustin retorted, suppressing his anger. If he weren’t concerned for Natasha’s safety, he would have already launched a deadly assault on everyone.

“A tit for tat?” Kate hesitated and looked at Tyler approvingly.
