An Understated Dominance By Marina Vittori Chapter 1235-“Oh, my goodness! Is that Lord Xenos? What is he doing here?” “Look at his entourage. It doesn’t seem like they’re here for the engagement party.” “Exactly! Who brings that many guards to a banquet? It’s pretty clear that trouble’s brewing.” George’s arrival immediately caused a stir. Even the members of the Grant family couldn’t hide their uneasiness. After all, George was a viceroy. He held a great deal of power throughout the Southern province, both military and political. He was a high-ranking official, a truly influential figure.

In the presence of such an important person, even Tyler, a powerful general, had to exercise restraint.

“Dustin, are you all right?” George asked as he came in.

“I’m fine, thank you, Lord Xenos,” Dustin replied politely.

“That’s good.” George smiled. Then, he turned to Tyler. His expression suddenly turned stern. ” Tyler, you have abused your authority as a third-ranking official. Do you think no one can keep you in check?” George’s words were direct and spared no disrespect for the Grant family. “Lord Xenos, you’ve got this wrong. It was Dustin who caused trouble, and we were just defending ourselves,” Kate quickly interjected.

“That’s right! It was Dustin who killed our family member. We need justice!” the Grant family members chimed in.

“Shut up, all of you!” George stared sternly at them. “Don’t think I’m unaware of what’s been happening here. The Grant family kidnapped Natasha and murdered Hector. Your actions are barbaric!” His words instantly silenced the Grant family members. It was clear that they had no moral ground on which to stand.
