arrogantly
In superior fashion
Arrogantly means with an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities.
Someone who behaves arrogantly assumes superiority over others: He arrogantly dismissed their concerns.
The word implies not just confidence but offensive presumption—acting as if others' views or feelings don't matter.
