An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Chapter 1229 A Slap For Kate

As Dustin’s piercing gaze swept over the scene, Brayden couldn’t help but shudder, feeling an indescribable fear surging within him. He had believed his plan was foolproof, but his opponent had shattered all his calculations with sheer force.

“Release the hostage immediately, or… face the consequences!” Dustin continued to advance, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.

“I won’t release her!” Brayden bellowed in anger and swiftly drew a concealed gun, rapidly firing it at Dustin.

“Let… let me go… or you’ll regret it!” Brayden struggled frantically, issuing a flurry of desperate threats.
“I’m asking you, where is Natasha?!” Dustin slowly tightened his grip on Brayden’s throat, making it difficult for him to breathe. Brayden’s face turned purple, and he desperately kicked his feet.
