"Grandpa, look at that son-in-law; he has no manners. We're all discussing something important, and he wants to leave this room immediately. He should show his achievements if he wants to be arrogant."
They all seemed to agree with that statement. Bryce, who had wanted to rest, was now stuck with the drama of his sister-in-law. The pair took great pleasure in dehumanising Bryce.
"Honey, you're right. He's quite arrogant for a man with no accomplishments. Bryce has the hardened nature of a pest. I thought his behaviour in the office the other day was enough to get him out of here. But somehow, it seems like my warnings fell on deaf ears. Our family has become a laughing stock because of a man like him," Veronica's mother, who was also there, said.
With a glass of wine in her hand, Mrs Veronica walked over to Bryce. She reluctantly poured all the contents into Bryce's face.
"True, this man has never contributed anything to o

"That's right. A poor man like Bryce should be a servant, not a son-in-law. The Carter Family has been in the public eye for almost two years. It would be great if we were famous for our achievements, but instead, we've become a joke in society. I really can't bear to be embarrassed for this long."People in the family thought that Bryce was the same as rubbish. He not only did not help Veronica but also hindered her all the time.All these glimpses of the early days of their marriage are a turning point in the golden age of the Carter family. What was once perfect now has the disgrace of defects on full display.With his head still spinning, his lips dripping blood, and his stomach aching, Bryce tried to ignore what others were saying about him. The fragile-looking man even saw his wife's expression as she desperately wanted to slap him.Noticing the reproachful look on Veronica's face, Bryce stepped closer. With an embarrassed look, he said, "Veronica,
The Understated Dominance Husband Chapter 16: Not Yet Strong
The voices came back to Bryce's head. The universe seemed to whisper and energise him to retaliate. But Bryce was too confused and unaware of the situation.Seeing Bryce's dishevelled state was not enough to satisfy their desires. Bruno wanted to sow salt in the wound."Bryce, I know you are courting a rich woman who is about to go bankrupt. You're very brave to give her a helping hand," the man responded with a statement that would captivate Bryce's attention.With a dazed look, Bryce stopped his steps and jerked back. He asked in surprise, "Do you know Tamara?""Of course. She is a business rival that must be destroyed. The doctor who treated her husband is my friend. I asked the doctor to increase the dosage in the prescription!" Bruno replied with a grinning smile."Bruno, how dare you..." Bryce responded, and his blood started to rise.Bryce clenched his fists, his eyes burned with anger, and blue veins appeared on his forehead. David had been bedridden for a year as his conditio
The Understated Dominance Husband Chapter 17: Return of Memory
While contemplating the meaning of life and death, Bryce's eyes slowly became heavy and began to close on their own. The man seemed to have to let go that death had come for him.Bryce faintly heard someone coming towards him, the man screaming for help. This immediately caused a crowd of people to slowly come and approach Bryce, who was lying there covered in blood.After that, Bryce knew nothing more. All of his daydreams came to a screeching halt. He ended up in a blackout.The closed eyes only opened when Bryce sensed the strong smell of disinfectant affecting his sense of smell. Bryce began to hear the conversation between the doctor and the nurse."The recovery of his body is quite impressive. This is a unique phenomenon and step. Every cell can mutate smarter than it would in an ordinary person."Bryce's vision seemed to be impaired by the amount of light they were shining at him. From what Bryce could see, it looked like he was in an operat
The Understated Dominance Husband Chapter 18: Changing Choices
In martial arts, Champions are divided into five classes: Beginner, Able, Advanced, Expert, and Master.Bryce was once a top-tier Master Champion, one of the best in the martial arts world."Never mind, there are only a few expert champions in Novaria. I'll try hard with what I have now. I will use this time to recover fully. Just wait for my vengeance, Anne and the Lords! Once I regain my strength, I will finish you off!" Bryce muttered with mixed emotions.Bryce stared into the distance, the aura inside him cooling. An hour later, Bryce stood in front of a three-storey villa. Bryce had lived in that villa for two years."That useless Bryce lived with us for two years. He did nothing but disrupt our lives. Then, today, he embarrassed me in front of the whole family. Where do I put my face? Veronica, I know you got married because you were aiming for the headship and were rewarded handsomely at the time. So why did you choose that loser instead?"

"Bryce Milano!"Veronica scolded, "Are you out of your mind? Sure, you're a Milano, but that doesn't mean you're from that honourable family. Are you pretending to be Mr Grant to get rid of this family?"Bryce had to watch Veronica's expression as she looked at him contemptuously. The woman continued, "This divorce is not going to happen. We have signed a contract for two years, and five months remain. After that, I will leave you even if I do not become the head of this family. Before that, you won't be able to go anywhere."Veronica thought that she understood everything. Bryce's strange behaviour and excuses must be a ploy to get Veronica to divorce him. Veronica turns and leaves.Watching her leave, Bryce reflected on what had just happened."Bryce, come out!"Not long after, someone banged loudly on the Villa's door.Lexy opened the door with a start. A dozen burly men in black were standing outside. In front of them stood Bruno and a young man.The young man was wearing a white
The Understated Dominance Husband Chapter 20: Looking Different
Seeing what had just happened, a big question arose in Veronica and Lexy's minds.Bruno's mouth dropped open. He knew Bryce was stronger than him, but he did not expect Bryce to be able to take down a bunch of burly men easily.Cory was stunned, his eyes amazed."Tell me, what should I do to you?" Bryce asked Bruno as he walked up to him."Don't come any closer, Mr Sullivan, help me!" Bruno was terrified.As if not hearing, Cory did not move at all."I promised to break both your legs, and I'll keep it now."Bryce Latas kicked Bruno.CRACK!There was the sound of something cracking. Bruno fell, both legs broken by Bryce."Bryce, you..." Veronica looked at Bryce. She was still shocked to see the paralysed Bruno.Lexy was stunned after witnessing Bryce's brutality. She recalled Bryce's cold stare, and her heart felt like it would burst.As if nothing had happened, Bryce looked very calm. Bryce broke bo

Finley called Veronica's small family in the morning and invited her to a family gathering."We're finished! That old man must be furious about the Bruno thing!"Hurriedly, Lexy knocked on Bryce's bedroom door.As soon as Bryce came out, Lexy snapped, "Bryce, you're such a troublemaker! Come with us and apologise to the old man. Tell him it's all your fault. Veronica had nothing to do with it. You must obey all their orders. You must do so even if they ask you to bend the knee!"Lexy knew one thing. Although Bryce was arrogant, he wouldn't dare go against Lexy, which gave Lexy the courage to yell at him and order him around. Bryce remained silent, ignoring Lexy.Veronica said, "Mum, I admit that Bryce and I should have been more gentle yesterday, but it's still Bruno's fault! Why do we have to apologise? I'm sure Grandpa will make a wise decision."Not long after, Veronica and her three family members arrived at the Finleys' stately home.

Just then, several servants arrived with stun sticks. They were all preparing to attack Bryce.Seeing all of them wanting to hurt him made Bryce grin. The workers were waiting to attack Bryce directly, so Bryce quickly prepared his stance."Grandpa! Bryce has been suffering from something so horrible lately that he's a little out of his mind. Please forgive Bryce!" Veronica approached Bryce frantically, reasoning that she was helping her husband.Bryce saw his wife trying to defend him. The woman explained that Bryce wanted to defend his pride, which had been trampled on for almost two years."My mind is made up. You must divorce Bryce! I already have a new husband in mind for you. He's better than a rubbish man like him," Finley would not withdraw her words.Bryce, who heard this, remained silent as he watched Veronica's face darken while Tiana and Marella smiled happily."Grandpa, you promised yesterday! If I can find Mr Grant of the Milan

"I'm just asking."Bryce smiled.Hearing that, Brewster was relieved. He said, "Don't try to break into this place. Only Mr Shaw knows where the Ancient Herb Garden is actually located. In fact, the royal family who discovered the Ancient Herb Garden had already signed a confidentiality agreement.Bryce smiled back and said nothing more.It was not difficult for him to find out the location. He just needed to find Gary or the Dukes of the royal family and interrogate them.However, it was not an urgent matter as he needed to stay in this Yarl City to find out his origins. So, he decided to wait for the start of the selection.At the same time, Brewster received a text message.After he read the text message, he told Bryce, "Mr Milano, your place is ready. Follow me."Then, they returned to the Sword Skill School and headed for several residences.The residences are not spacious.Each is only about three or four hu
Accepted
Hearing this, Allen looked angry.However, after a while, she smiled awkwardly and said, "Bryce, I'm just kidding. I'm just joking. Since you are already a teacher at the Sword Skills School, we will be colleagues from now on. We will meet every day. Just forget what I said earlier."Allen is a teacher at the Sword Skills School and he has so many students.If he knelt down and apologised to Bryce now, he would definitely become the joke of the Sword Skills School for all time.Bryce didn't say anything, but his gaze turned cold."Allen is really shameless. Already lost the bet, now he's acting like nothing happened.""If Bryce had lost, he wouldn't have let Bryce go.""Allen is annoying. How can someone like that be a good teacher?"The people who were there also criticised Allen."Allen, don't embarrass us. I am the one who is ashamed of what you have done. Kneel down and apologise to Bryce."Brewster shouted at Allen in excitement."Mr Miller, you've lost the bet. Do you want to em
Amazement and Awe
Brewster was dumbfounded. He did not expect Bryce to agree to his request.Bryce is very stubborn.He still accepted the challenge, no matter how difficult it was.In her opinion, Bryce must be an arrogant person because he is talented in Sword Skills and is easily provoked when others provoke him.However, why would he choose to take the risk if he could play it safe?It didn't seem like a wise move. Everyone looked at Bryce in surprise, then shook their heads.Although talented in Sword Skills, he shouldn't act that arrogant.Doesn't he know that the higher he flies, the greater the pain if he falls?If he lost, he would suffer the consequences. Hearing Bryce's words, Allen burst out laughing."You already agreed to it. I've agreed too. If you win, I will kneel down to you and apologise."Allen was convinced that there was no way Bryce could refine his martial arts techniques to Expert Phase in just an hour, so he agreed without hesitation.After saying that, Allen's smile suddenly
Cheer Support
"Ruben."Allen rushed over to Ruben to check on his condition.The audience erupted in applause.Owen could not resist standing up and clapping for Bryce."Absolute genius.""Bryce is great. There will be other talented masters at the Sword Skills School."Brewster also stood up and applauded sincerely.A roar of applause filled the entire hall.All participants applauded without exception.Bryce's outstanding performance impressed them.They had questioned Bryce's talent and ability, even suggesting that he was not a master.However, they were surprised to learn that Bryce was so talented. They admired Bryce."Bryce is strong, but nothing compared to the talents from other departments." Bonnie said spitefully in the corner of the hall.However, Bonnie actually recognised Bryce's ability.Owen slowly stood up and walked towards the arena, then called out, "I hereby announce that the tea
Battle Time
"Where's your sword? Hurry up and take it out. Otherwise, people will think I'm bullying you."Ruben was surprised to see that Bryce was not carrying any weapons."Sword?"Bryce smiled faintly. He clenched his fists and used his Internal Force to pick up the branch that had thrown him to the floor."Do you want to fight me with that branch?"Ruben's face became grim.Ruben thought that Bryce was patronising him."I have a sword in my heart, so everything can be my sword." Bryce said faintly."What are you showing off for?"Ruben was angry. "You're showing off for being talented in Sword Skills."However, if you dare to show off in our fight, I will make you regret it."All your words are nonsense."Ruben started to move after finishing his sentence.He pointed his sword at Bryce.Bryce smiled faintly as Ruben's sword was about to stab him. Bryce picked up the branch.Ruben looked at him contemptuously.Ruben initially thought that Bryce could demonstrate his Sword Skill techniques wit
Admiration
The roar of the swords filled the air, as if they wanted to rebel from their owner's grasp.All the participants exchanged confused and anxious looks.They didn't know what had happened.Everyone started thinking about what was really going on in their minds.The crowd gasped, suddenly turning their heads towards Bryce in unison.After Bryce performed his technique, strange things began to happen.It was because Bryce had mastered all the techniques and reached the Expert Phase.It was only natural that Bryce was recognised as a genius in Sword Skills.The weapons have energy and they want a strong owner.Bryce's strength was great enough to pull those weapons. All the weapons were eager to serve Bryce.The three judges widened their eyes in disbelief."Is this the Expert Phase?" Owen muttered."Mr Woolley, do you think Bryce is amazing? Genius. Would you believe that Bryce could reach the Expert Phase just by reading a book once? Oh, my goodness." Brewster said excitedly. Allen was s
Unpleasant Treatment
As soon as they entered, they noticed Bryce.Bryce was still too young. There was no doubt that he stood out the most among the few Brawlers who took the exam. It was hard to ignore him.They also doubted Bryce's strength and wondered if Bryce was an Expert.However, this will only be known once the second round begins.If Bryce did not have the strength of an Expert and came to play around, Bryce would receive severe punishment.Hence, they all just observed Bryce without harbouring any dislike for him.However, when they saw that Bryce was just randomly flipping through books and not cultivating Sword Skill techniques, they became angry.According to them, Bryce did not pay attention to the exam at all.They think Bryce is just playing around here.They considered Bryce's behaviour to be disrespectful to the Yarl City Martial Arts Institute.At this time, Brewster who was in charge of the first round of the exam asked Bryce, "Why don't you cultivate the Sword Skill technique?""I've
Trials
The next day.Bryce came to the Yarl City Martial Arts Institute again. He came to take the Sword Skills instructor selection exam.Bryce came here for two reasons.The first is to explore the Ancient Herb Garden.The second and most important thing is to find out his identity.Bryce wanted to investigate the totem.Bryce believed that the pattern on the school badge of the Yarl City Institute of Martial Arts was the same as the pattern on the small altar Bryce saw in the Great King's Mausoleum. it was not a coincidence.Therefore, Bryce wanted to enter the Yarl City Martial Arts Institute to find out the truth.At the same time, a woman wearing work clothes stood at the door.Bryce approached him and asked, "Where is the location of the Sword Skills teacher exam?""Do you want to take part in our school's Sword Skills teacher exam?"The woman was shocked.The woman's name was Bonnie Carter. She was in charge of receiving people taking the Sword Skills teacher exam at the door.The pe

"If we join the Carter Royal Family, what kind of status will I get?" Veronica asked after weighing up the good and bad.If she had many advancement opportunities within the Carter Royal Family, she would have been willing to take them.However, if she could only become a marginalised figure after joining the Carter Royal Family, there would be no point in joining."You seem to be quite ambitious."Jaime instantly understood Veronica's thoughts and said with a smile, "The Carter Royal Family treats everyone equally and values the talented. As long as you have the ability, you will be rewarded, and even have the opportunity to run for leadership in the future."To get Veronica to join the Carter Royal Family, Jaime added some tantalising conditions.After all, it's just a verbal promise, it won't affect anything.Veronica was rather excited after hearing Jaime's words.Veronica believes that she can continue to be stronger and achieve a lot within the Carter Royal Family as long as she
