An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

The following morning, Dustin left his room and went to the villa’s garden to appreciate the lush scenery.

He and Grace accepted Alicia’s invitation to stay at the villa overnight to ensure the sisters’ safety after the recent assassination attempt. Plus, Grace wanted to catch up with Alicia. Thankfully, the rest of the night passed without any disturbances.

Alicia’s condition remained stable. She showed no adverse effects due to her good foundation.

Dustin strolled through the garden and noticed the villa’s gate opening. A convoy of luxury cars drove in and came to a stop. Then, a group of uniformed Celestial Alliance disciples quickly exited the vehicles.

Unlike the regular disciples, these were the elite enforcement team. They were specially selected for their exceptional skills and loyalty.

The team was seldom deployed as they were reserved exclusively for dire circumstances at the discretion of the guildmaster and the elders. Their appearance always signaled the seriousness of the situation at hand.

Seeing the intimidating team, Dustin quietly stepped aside. He deduced that the failed attempt on Alicia and Aurora’s lives the previous night had likely alerted Alloy. So, he dispatched the enforcement team to protect his daughters.

While Dustin wondered about the team leader’s identity, he noticed the door of the car in the lead swung open. A sharp- suited young man, radiating authority, emerged. Every member of the enforcement team bowed in deference.
