An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1257
“The stakes are alright, but why should I agree to the bet?” Dustin stated calmly, “Your life is currently in my hands. What makes you qualified to propose a bet with me?”
Hearing this, Tyler gritted his teeth. Eventually, he said solemnly, “I have a piece of the treasure map, the result of my many years of relentless searching.
“I am willing to stake it against my life in a bet against yours!” Tyler would never have revealed this secret if it weren’t for being cornered.
There were three pieces to the Harmon family’s treasure map. And he happened to have gotten his hands on one of them in a fortunate coincidence, along with some insider information.
It was precisely because of this that he had been scheming in secret, attempting to get his hands on the piece the Harmons had.
But he never expected to land himself into such big trouble before he could get his hands on the second piece. Now, he could only gamble with the map he had.
“So, it turns out that you have one piece of the treasure map. No wonder you’ve been so persistent.” Dustin nodded, seemingly in deep thought. “Alright, let’s go with your plan. I’ll give you a chance to turn the tables.
“If you win against me, I will put today’s matter to rest. But if you lose, the entire Grant family will suffer the consequences.”
“Alright!” Tyler agreed immediately.
“Tyler! Don’t act impulsively!” Arthur was taken aback, his face draining of color. Dustin was the renowned Kirin and an unparalleled martial talent. Challenging someone like him to a duel was the same as seeking death, wasn’t it?
“Grandpa, rewards come from taking high risks. If I don’t gamble with my life, we will never be able to escape this situation!” Tyler’s expression was determined.
With the West Lucozian monarchy’s power, they required no effort to crush the Grants. Even if Dustin sent them all to Azkaban, nobody would dare say a word. That was why he needed to fight for their survival.
“Tyler! If you lose, there will truly be no way out!” Arthur was getting anxious.
With Tyler’s position as General Lionheart, as long as he didn’t make any mistakes, the West Lucozian monarchy could never get rid of him as they pleased.
However, if it were a duel, it would be a life-or-death situation with no one having the right to intervene. “Grandpa, please don’t worry. I will not lose!” Tyler slowly lifted his head, his gaze sharp.
“There’s a secret I haven’t revealed to the public. Three years ago, I’d already reached the level of a grandmaster.
“Even against the Kirin, I can emerge victorious!”
“What? A martial arts grandmaster?” The revelation sent shockwaves through the crowd. Tyler was only in his twenties. One would already be considered an extraordinarily rare talent if they were a divine-level martial artist at his age, not to mention a grandmaster.
It was an unattainable dream for most. It was rare to find a grandmaster under the age of 30 in the whole of Dragonmarsh.
In other words, in terms of martial arts accomplishments, Tyler had become one of the top talents in the whole of Dragonmarsh!
“This is amazing! If Tyler is a grandmaster, then we can win this bet!
“He’s been hiding it well! Very well!”
“So what if he’s the Kirin? That’s an old story. Tyler is the true unparalleled talent!”
“We’re saved, we’re all saved!”
At that moment, the Grant family members were filled with excitement. Before this, they were unaware of Tyler’s true abilities.
They never expected that he had quietly reached the level of a grandmaster. It was truly a massive surprise!
With such incredible strength, he was much more impressive than the legendary Kirin. This battle might just make him a household name if he won!
“No wonder you’re so confident. You’re already well-prepared.” Dustin was equally surprised. Putting everything aside, it was truly remarkable that he had become a grandmaster at his age.
“Dustin, you’re not getting cold feet, are you? You’re the Kirin and the future Prince of West Lucozia.
“Don’t tell me you don’t even dare to accept the challenge?” Tyler began provoking him. It would be troublesome if Dustin backed out.
“There’s no need to provoke me with words. Since I promised you a duel, I won’t back out.
“Now, let’s see if you can defeat me with your skills,” Dustin stated calmly.
