An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

“Robbed?” The crowd exchanged looks of disbelief upon hearing this. Who could be so bold as to steal something from the Moseys’ mansion? Were they not afraid of losing their lives?

“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m very sorry for being this rude, but the missing item is important to me. Please forgive me.”

Anders first apologized to the crowd before continuing, “I will now conduct a search with my hunting dogs. I kindly request that everyone stand where you are to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings.”

After speaking, he made a gesture, instructing his subordinates to secure all entrances and exits. Then, two well- trained hunting dogs arrived, and the inspection began.

Even though his actions had crossed a line, nobody dared speak out due to his identity. They could only cooperate obediently.

“Conduct a thorough search. Don’t miss any corner!” Anders commanded with a stern voice. He had returned to his room to rest, only to find his Emerald Corolla missing. This precious rare treasure of his could absorb spiritual energy and significantly enhance his cultivation speed.

He usually kept it on him at all times. But he had left it in his room today when he changed. He couldn’t believe someone would dare infiltrate his room and steal something from him.

The guards led the hunting dogs through a thorough search, moving through the crowd continuously. Since the Emerald Corolla had Anders’ scent, the thief would be swiftly identified if they carried it with them.
