An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1210

His absent-minded actions carried a certain sense of authority. After all, that piece of booger held enough power to give agrandmaster a lethal blow. “Lord Drunken Maniac, it was all a misunderstanding. We do not mean to offend you.”

The guildmaster of the Deathly Hurricane was quick to react. He quickly showed his respect. “He’s right! We were only takingorders from the Martial Arts Union! We had no choice!

“Please forgive us, Lord Drunken Maniac,” the leader of the Starry Arches immediately followed suit and apologized.“Hey! Why are you all just standing there? Put your weapons down! I’ll make you pay if you hurt Rhys in any way!”

The leader of the Nephrite Sun took things to another level. He berated all the martial artists around him, pretending to protectDustin.

The rest of them finally snapped back to the present as they put their weapons away. All the tension in the air instantlydissipated. Even the leader of the Martial Arts Union had run away. Who else dared to act up with the Drunken Maniac stillthere?

Suddenly, Emery stood up. He said, ” Lord Drunken Maniac, what happened today was a mistake. As the assistant leader ofBalerno martial arts alliance, | cannot escape the blame.

“To express my apology, | would like to nominate Grandmaster Rhys as the new leader of the alliance!”Aclamor broke out at that.

“What? Dustin as the next leader? Is he for real?” “The martial world has always been ruled by whoever is most powerful. | seeno problem in Dustin becoming the next leader as he was the one who had defeated Ronald Reeds.”

“There’s no questioning how powerful he is. But he lacks experience. Nothing good will ever come of a leader that young.”

“That’s right! He’s merciless and lacks empathy! The entire Balerno martial world will be in trouble if he becomes the nextleader!”

Emery’s suggestion brought a series of comments and whispers among the crowd. As many of them who agreed to it, there werejust as many who disagreed. Many of the senior members of major guilds, especially, frowned in displeasure.

The martial world wasn’t all about killing and fighting. There were a lot of customs and interpersonal relationships that came intoplay.

Just because he was powerful did not mean he could lead the alliance. Instead, they needed someone adaptable who waswilling to work for the benefit of the majority. From their point of view, Dustin was too young to possess such capability.

“Please calm down, everyone.” Emery gestured with his hands for everyone to settle down. Then, he continued, “This is asuggestion that | made after careful consideration. The martial arts alliance is in shambles now, and we are in dire need of youngblood.

“Only a talented person like Grandmaster Rhys can turn things around and lead the alliance to glory!”

“| agree!” Josie suddenly raised her hand. She shouted, “Not only is Grandmaster Rhys young and talented, he’s also powerful!There’s no one more suited for the position than him.

“I'm in full support of Grandmaster Rhys taking up the position of the alliance leader!”

“We are in full support of the notion, too!” Several young martial artists stood out to express their thoughts. Young andpassionate, they believed that strength was supreme.

Since Dustin had defeated Ronald, he had every right to be the next leader of the alliance.

“What? Are there only so few in support of the suggestion? Are the rest of you mutes?” the Drunken Maniac asked.

As he spoke, his gaze swept across all the leaders of the various guilds. They were all so frightened that they broke out in coldsweat.

“Grandmaster Rhys has proven himself, and we have all witnessed his capability. He has more than what it takes to be the nextleader of the alliance!”

“That’s right! There is no other like Grandmaster Rhys, and no one else even comes close to what he is capable of. | fullysupport him!”

“The alliance cannot be without a leader. All of us are in support of Grandmaster Rhys becoming the next leader!”

Under the pressure exerted on them by the Drunken Maniac, all the leaders of the guilds saw no other way than to agree. Nomatter how much they disagreed deep inside, they could only comply.

“Sir Rhys, from now onwards, you shall lead the Balerno martial world!”

Emery was quick to react, addressing Dustin as ‘Sir Rhys’ right away. Then, he bowed to Dustin in a show of his support.“All hail Sir Rhys!”

Josie cried out as she pumped her fist into the air.

“All hail Sir Rhys!”novelbin

The rest of the martial artists also raised their fists as they shouted in unison. Their voices echoed all around, reaching the skyand causing the ground to rumble.
