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.

“Lord Xenos, I have no problem with you. Why do you stand against me like this?” Tyler’s face turned

cold, his gaze hostile.

The last time he came to the Harmon residence, George had interfered and thwarted Tyler’s plans. He

hadn’t expected George to show up and interfere again. It was just too much!

“As a Dragonmarsh general, it is your duty to uphold the law and see that justice is done. But look at

your behavior; how is it different from a gangster?” George spoke emphatically.

“Lord Xenos, even though your official rank is higher than mine, that doesn’t mean you can order me

around,” Tyler asserted.

He continued, “My position as general was bestowed upon me by the royal family and falls under the

jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Even though you are a viceroy, Lord Xenos, you have no right to

meddle in my affairs.”

A viceroy held the highest position in a region. They oversaw both military and political affairs. Although

their rank was high, they were civil officials.

Tyler, on the other hand, was a military officer, and they operated under different systems. Civil officials

and military officers have always had a strained relationship. If things escalated, Tyler wouldn’t be

afraid because he had powerful backing.

“Tyler, don’t be so arrogant!” George snorted coldly. “The Southern province is under my jurisdiction. If

you do something outrageous, I’ll not stand idly by!”

“Lord Xenos, I’ve always obeyed the law, so where do these outrageous acts come from?” Tyler

asserted. He added, “Even if I were truly guilty, there is nothing you can do about me. You are only the

local governor.”

As he finished, a deep, imposing voice suddenly sounded. “If Lord Xenos can’t deal with you, what

about an old man like me?”

The voice wasn’t loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. Following the sound, a group of people

entered through the main gate, led by a sturdy, white-bearded old man.
