An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Chapter 653

“Why are you getting on your knees, Mr. Robinson?” Dustin was surprised by the sudden turn of events and quickly

reached out to help him up. Though Mr. Robinson was just a regular civilian, Dustin had always viewed him as an

elder who deserved respect.

“Mr. Rhys, I know that you’re trying to defend us, but while you may be able to protect us this time, you won’t be

here to protect us forever. Mr. Robinson continued, “Using violence against violence will never solve the problem.

Why don’t we all take a step back? I don’t mind suffering a little unfairness in life as long as we can continue on with

our lives.”

Dustin was rendered speechless when he heard what Mr. Robinson said. When he put himself in Mr. Robinson’s

shoes, he had to admit that what Mr. Robinson said made a lot of sense. Dustin might be able to help them out this

once, but he wouldn’t be able to be there to help them out all the time.

Peasants had their way of life. Since they could not afford to offend anyone, they had to keep a low profile and

watch every step that they took in order not to bring trouble upon themselves. Even if they suffered from any

injustice, they would choose to ignore it and pretend that nothing had ever happened. Of course, it must feel

terrible to live like that, but it was the only way of life that they knew

“Release him, Mr. Rhys,” Mr. Robinson begged once again. Dustin took a deep breath as he contemplated his

decision. In the end, he chose to let Chad go. If even Mr. Robinson, who was the victim of this, did not wish to

pursue the matter any further, then what was the point of him. insisting on making Chad pay for his actions?

“Thank you for your understanding. Mr. Rhys.” Mr. Robinson nodded at him as a sign of appreciation. Then, he went

up to Chad and smiled apologetically. “My apologies, Mr. Miller. That

was all a misunderstanding Are you alright?”

“Hah! And here I was, thinking that you were something else. In the end, it turns out that you’re just a loser

pretending to be all that!” Chad laughed arrogantly when Dustin finally let go of him. He was under the impression

that Dustin only released him because he was intimidated by his power and status. After all, everyone in the entire

neighborhood feared the name of the Charging Tiger gang.

“This is all my fault, Mr. Miller. I’m the one to blame Please do not be angry.” Mr. Robinson apologized humbly as he

brushed the dust off Chad’s clothes.

“You know what’s good for you, old man.” Chad smiled meanly with a condescending pat on Mr. Robinson’s face as

if he were some pet of his. Abigail was infuriated by this action of his. Even

Dustin could not help but frown.

“Thank you, Mr. Miller!” Mr. Robinson forced a smile.

“Why are you so quiet now, you asshole? Weren’t you acting all high and mighty just a while ago? I say you’re a

gutsy one for daring to play rough with me!” Chad shot daggers at Dustin.

“I’m only letting you go for Mr. Robinson’s sake. You better know your place and don’t cross the line, or you’ll regret

it.” Dustin warned coldly.

N

the verge of death. Who on earth was this punk?

“It’s your turn now.” Dustin turned to glare at Chad. So, are you doing it yourself, or shall I do it for you?”

“Y-you! Stay away!” Chad had a bad premonition about the turn of events. “I’m warning you; my father is the

leader of the Charging Tiger gang! If you so much as lay a single finger on me, my father will never let you go!” 1

“The son of the leader of the Charging Tiger gang!” A commotion broke out among the onlookers. They had

thought that Chad was just an ordinary member of the Charging Tiger gang, but now that they learned that he was

not just any other member but the son of the leader of the gang, it made him seem even more formidable than he

already was.

“I don’t care who you are. You either pay up and chop off your arm, or you’ll end up just like them,” Dunstin said

without a hint of emotion.

“Are you fucking deaf? I said, my father is the leader of-” Chad was cut off mid-sentence as Dustin appeared right in

front of him and grabbed him by the throat, lifting him off his feet. With his airway blocked, Chad could not breathe

and kicked around wildly as he struggled to free himself.

Fear bubbled from within him and overwhelmed him as he looked into Dustin’s cold, uncaring eyes. At that

moment, it finally registered to him that the person before him was an absolute madman who did not give a shit

about who he was. If he wasn’t careful, this would be the day he bid the world goodbye.

“Wait, Mr. Rhys!” Right then, Mr. Robinson clambered up from the ground and reasoned with Dustin. “Mr. Rhys, we

cannot afford to anger this person. Please put him down quickly, will you? The repercussions will be severe if you do

not.”

“I shall bear every consequence of my actions,” Dustin assured.

“Mr. Rhys, I know that you’re powerful, so you’re not afraid of the Charging Tiger gang, but that isn’t how things are

for us. We’re just ordinary civilians. We cannot afford to offend people like them. If you hurt him, we will also be

dragged into the mess.” Mr. Robinson looked at Dustin with. despair.

“Will you let him go just like that after all these terrible things he has done to you?” Dustin

frowned.

“Mr. Rhys, peasants like us have no choice. All we ask for is a life of peace. Though we’ve indeed lost our house, we

can still build another. As long as we’re unharmed, then it isn’t a big deal. Please, Mr. Rhys, I beg of you, release

him.” As Mr. Robinson spoke, he suddenly fell to his knees and began begging Dustin to let go of Chad.
