An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1210
His absent-minded actions carried a certain sense of authority. After all, that piece of booger held
enough power to give a grandmaster a lethal blow. “Lord Drunken Maniac, it was all a
misunderstanding. We do not mean to offend you.”
The guildmaster of the Deathly Hurricane was quick to react. He quickly showed his respect. “He’s
right! We were only taking orders from the Martial Arts Union! We had no choice!
“Please forgive us, Lord Drunken Maniac,” the leader of the Starry Arches immediately followed suit
and apologized.
“Hey! Why are you all just standing there? Put your weapons down! I’ll make you pay if you hurt Rhys
in any way!”
The leader of the Nephrite Sun took things to another level. He berated all the martial artists around
him, pretending to protect Dustin.
The rest of them finally snapped back to the present as they put their weapons away. All the tension in
the air instantly dissipated. Even the leader of the Martial Arts Union had run away. Who else dared to
act up with the Drunken Maniac still there?
Suddenly, Emery stood up. He said, ” Lord Drunken Maniac, what happened today was a mistake. As
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe assistant leader of Balerno martial arts alliance, I cannot escape the blame.
“To express my apology, I would like to nominate Grandmaster Rhys as the new leader of the alliance!”
A clamor broke out at that.
“What? Dustin as the next leader? Is he for real?” “The martial world has always been ruled by
whoever is most powerful. I see no problem in Dustin becoming the next leader as he was the one who
had defeated Ronald Reeds.”
“There’s no questioning how powerful he is. But he lacks experience. Nothing good will ever come of a
leader that young.”
“That’s right! He’s merciless and lacks empathy! The entire Balerno martial world will be in trouble if he
becomes the next leader!”
Emery’s suggestion brought a series of comments and whispers among the crowd. As many of them
who agreed to it, there were just as many who disagreed. Many of the senior members of major guilds,
especially, frowned in displeasure.
The martial world wasn’t all about killing and fighting. There were a lot of customs and interpersonal
relationships that came into play.
Just because he was powerful did not mean he could lead the alliance. Instead, they needed someone
adaptable who was willing to work for the benefit of the majority. From their point of view, Dustin was
too young to possess such capability.
“Please calm down, everyone.” Emery gestured with his hands for everyone to settle down. Then, he
continued, “This is a suggestion that I made after careful consideration. The martial arts alliance is in
shambles now, and we are in dire need of young blood.
“Only a talented person like Grandmaster Rhys can turn things around and lead the alliance to glory!”
“I agree!” Josie suddenly raised her hand. She shouted, “Not only is Grandmaster Rhys young and
talented, he’s also powerful! There’s no one more suited for the position than him.
“I’m in full support of Grandmaster Rhys taking up the position of the alliance leader!”
“We are in full support of the notion, too!” Several young martial artists stood out to express their
thoughts. Young and passionate, they believed that strength was supreme.
Since Dustin had defeated Ronald, he had every right to be the next leader of the alliance.
“What? Are there only so few in support of the suggestion? Are the rest of you mutes?” the Drunken
Maniac asked.
As he spoke, his gaze swept across all the leaders of the various guilds. They were all so frightened
that they broke out in cold sweat.

what it takes to be the next leader of the alliance!”
“That’s right! There is no other like Grandmaster Rhys, and no one else even comes close to what he is
capable of. I fully support him!”
“The alliance cannot be without a leader. All of us are in support of Grandmaster Rhys becoming the
next leader!”
Under the pressure exerted on them by the Drunken Maniac, all the leaders of the guilds saw no other
way than to agree. No matter how much they disagreed deep inside, they could only comply.
“Sir Rhys, from now onwards, you shall lead the Balerno martial world!”
Emery was quick to react, addressing Dustin as ‘Sir Rhys’ right away. Then, he bowed to Dustin in a
show of his support.
“All hail Sir Rhys!”
Josie cried out as she pumped her fist into the air.
“All hail Sir Rhys!”
The rest of the martial artists also raised their fists as they shouted in unison. Their voices echoed all
around, reaching the sky and causing the ground to rumble.
