An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

"Ah... I..." Jimmy was extremely flustered amidst the clamor of the crowd, sweating profusely as he retreated nervously.

He had carelessly said those words since he never expected Dustin to lift the 100-thousand-pound cauldron.

That was how he found himself in the current predicament, urged by the crowd to eat the massive cauldron.

It was made of solid bronze! Even if it were made of chocolate, he would end up stuffing himself to death.

"Everyone, what I said earlier was out of line. I spoke words I shouldn't have and have realized my mistake. Please forgive me," Jimmy said, smiling faintly as he clasped his hands together.

"You've realized your mistakes? A little too late for that now, don't you think?" Miles glowered at him.

"To be honest, I preferred your unruly behavior more. This meekness doesn't suit you," Dalen said as he shook his head.

"Hmph! Boulderthorn elites, my ass! You're nothing but a bunch of cowards who bully the weak, hiding behind empty words!" Ruby mocked mercilessly.

Jimmy gritted his teeth at the insults thrown at him, holding back his anger as best he could. However, his face had contorted into an expression of extreme disgust.

He had never been this humiliated before, but since they had powerful backgrounds, there was nothing he could do.

Coupled with the fact that it was his own wrongdoing, he could only endure the humiliation.
