An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1237
“General Murray, our families never crossed paths before. Why did you have to come all the way here today to cause trouble?” Tyler frowned. With his current power, he couldn’t directly confront these two powerful forces. But that didn’t mean he had to give in.
As one of the Tremendous Three, the Grant family had the influence and strength to match them. If they really fought, the result would be uncertain.
“Why am I here?” Christopher chuckled. “If your family didn’t cause trouble, why would I be here? Are you saying your family can do whatever you want, but we can’t?
“Today is Dustin’s birthday, and as his elder, I originally planned to attend the celebration at Zephyr Lodge. But as soon as I heard about the situation, I rushed here with my men.
“Tyler, if you don’t want this to get out of hand, release the hostage immediately, or you will suffer the consequences!” George threatened sternly.
“Ty, maybe… we should think about it? “Kate hesitated and said it softly.
“It’s our engagement day, and we don’t want to mess things up. Let’s release Natasha first to defuse the situation, and then we can talk about the treasure map. What do you think?”
“Shut up!” Tyler snapped, raising his hand, and slapped her hard. She staggered and nearly fell, her face red and swollen. “Ty?”
She covered her cheek with her hands, unsure what she had said that triggered his anger. “You are useless! You embarrassed me in front of these people!” Tyler glared at her.
The Grant family had ruled Balerno for many years and had never surrendered to anyone. What would become of their reputation if they gave in after being threatened? As the top family for a century, they couldn’t afford to become a laughingstock.
“Boy, you’ve got three minutes to think about this. If you don’t apologize, you can’t blame me for what will happen!” Christopher gave his final warning.
“As the Grand General and protector of the kingdom, it is not right to bully my grandson.” A deep, raspy voice filled the air, prompting everyone to look toward the inner courtyard.
A white figure was seen gracefully descending from the sky. Just before it touched the ground, the figure extended its arm. It was like time slowed down as the figure landed as silent as a feather.
The person’s movement was fast and agile, displaying impressive martial skills. The white figure was revealed to be an elderly male with white hair in a robe. The man appeared fragile yet possessed sharp eyes that glittered with a hint of malice. This elderly man was none other than Arthur Grant, the backbone of the Grant family!
“Grandfather?” Tyler’s eyes lit up when he saw him, and his agitation dissipated. The presence of the Grant family protector reassured him that he had nothing to fear, even if George and Christopher joined forces.
“Earl of Loyalty and Valor-Arthur?!” George blinked in surprise, and his expression hardened.
