The entire event hall became silent as the man in military uniform made his appearance. Everyone moved aside to make way for him and avoided him like the plague.After all, the young man was hot-tempered and unreasonable. He was known to have severe mood swings. He also had a strong background. It allowed him to throw his temper around without facing any repercussions. Thus, nobody dared to cross him.People normally kept their distance from him to avoid getting into any trouble."Cody, who's that? He looks impressive."Harper was both surprised and curious. The man must be a formidable character to be able to silence the whole event hall."If I'm not mistaken, he should be Dexter Fallon of the Fallon family!" Cody remarked as he narrowed his eyes ever so slightly."Dexter Fallon? You mean one of the four Chaos Demons?" Harper's eyes widened in disbelief."That's right. He's the one." Cody nodded. He dared not even look straight at Dexter and only stole a peek at him out of th
Dexter raised his hand midair, ready to strike Natasha. However, he forced back the urge to do so.Never had a woman ever dared to speak to him like that. Had he not had his considerations, he'd have had his way with her."Hey, rascal! Who are you to snatch my woman away from me? Do you wish to meet your maker so soon?" Dexter turned to Dustin and glared at him fiercely.He could not get rough with Natasha, but it would be easy for him to deal with a little boy toy. As long as he wasn't royalty or part of the four ancient houses, Dexter could do anything he liked to him. "It's common courtesy to tell the other party your name before asking for theirs," Dustin said casually."Hmph! You want to know who I am? Fine! I'll tell you!"Dexter shot him a vicious glare before saying, "Now, listen up, and listen well! I am Dexter Fallon of the Fallon family, one of the four ancient houses! I'm a Four-star Marshal, and they call me the Black Tornado!""Oh? So what?" Dustin responded imp
"Hahaha!" Dexter suddenly began laughing. It started as a soft laugh and gradually grew louder and more maniacal.The onlookers felt their skin crawl, and they reflexively moved away to distance themselves.Dexter was known to be very temperamental, with impulsive mood changes. When his signature laughter appeared, it meant there was bound to be blood soon."You're quite ballsy, aren't you, rascal?" After Dexter was done laughing, his expression instantly darkened."All these years, no one has ever dared to speak to me like that. Incompetent and incapable, you say? Very well, you shall pay for what you said today with your life!"As he spoke, his hand reached for the gun on his waist."Dexter! I'm warning you, you better not act rashly!" Natasha stepped in front of Dustin and shielded him. She continued frostily, "Dustin's mine. If you dare hurt him, I'll never let you off!""What?" Dexter frowned, his expression turning from bad to worse. "Natasha Harmon, do you know what y
His actions elicited hushed whispers among the crowd."Isn't the guy a bit too bold? He actually has the gall to go on stage to take Dexter up on his challenge? Dexter's a decent fighter! It'd be a futile attempt to fight someone like him in a match!""Though it's a courageous act to fight to defend his woman, I still say he's bringing trouble upon himself.""He should have known his place. Wouldn't it have been better if he just behaved and played the part of the boy toy that he was? "Why did he have to pretend to be all tough and insult Dexter? He'll regret it when he ends up injured."The guests sighed and shook their heads at Dustin. From how they saw it, Dustin's actions were no different from seeking out death.He originally had Natasha defending him, so he'd be alright if he just yielded to Dexter. He could have just pretended like nothing had happened. But because of his ego, he had to offend Dexter.Now, he was stuck in a difficult situation with no way out. He might e
The guests gasped in astonishment. They were shocked to see Dexter falling flat on his face.No one had expected that to happen to the magnificent and arrogant Dexter.Though he had a horrible reputation, no one doubted his abilities. No ordinary person could become a Four-star Marshal or be known as a Chaos Demon.With Dexter's abilities, he had no problem defeating ten, or even a hundred men, single-handedly.For an impressive general with a fearsome reputation to fall in such a humiliating manner, it was truly embarrassing. The powerful image that he used to carry was now completely ruined."What's going on? Why did Dexter suddenly fall?"Cody stared with wide eyes, not comprehending what had happened. Everything had happened so quickly that he did not catch what transpired."An accident … It must have been an accident!" Harper took a deep breath and began to convince herself that it had just been an accident.How could someone like Dustin be a Four-star marshal's opponent?
Dustin was already being nice by not hurting him, hoping that Dexter would retreat. However, he didn't expect him to be this persistent. Dexter looked ready to fight till the very end. It seemed that he had to show Dexter who had the upper hand by giving him a real fight.At that thought, Dustin decided to fight back for real and sent a punch right away. It was a simple yet brutal punch.With a loud explosion, Dustin punched through the powerful Infinite Shadow Fist. A surge of energy erupted, sending Dexter flying several yards away. He fell with a heavy thud and couldn't even get up.Dexter spit out a mouthful of blood as soon as he landed, and his face turned pale. He was in so much pain that it felt as if all his bones had been dislocated. He couldn't even muster the energy to turn over."What?" Everyone was in an uproar when they saw that. All of them widened their eyes in disbelief. When Dexter decided to use his killer move, everyone thought that Dustin's fate was sealed
"Huh?" Dexter, who had been firing shots, saw something flash before his eyes. Dustin suddenly reappeared in front of him. He was unbelievably fast, given the fact that he was already quite far away when he pulled the trigger."You … are courting death!" Dexter's expression changed when he heard a cold and stern voice beside his ear. He lifted his gun and wanted to fire another shot. However, before he could pull the trigger, Dustin held his wrist and gave it a tight squeeze. With a loud crack, Dexter's wrist limped downward immediately, and his fingers let go of the gun lifelessly."Ah!" After he recovered from his shock, Dexter let out a loud cry. Dustin gave him another punch in the stomach as he wailed.He spit out another mouthful of blood. Dexter was like a ballistic missile when he was sent flying several yards away. He then slammed into the wall heavily, and it cracked in several places upon impact. His body was stuck to the wall momentarily before sliding down slo
The fear of death enveloped him."Don't … don't kill me … Today was a misunderstanding," Dexter croaked and spoke with great difficulty. At that moment, he was really scared. When death was upon him, he couldn't care less about his status and dignity anymore. If he could live, he would gladly renounce all those. He still had a good life before him, and he could enjoy endless riches. He didn't have to risk his life unnecessarily."Mr. Dexter, don't be afraid! That guy wouldn't dare do anything to you. He's just trying to intimidate you!" Harper tried to comfort him."Intimidate?" Dexter's mouth twitched, and he was almost tempted to start swearing. His chest was this close to being crushed by Dustin. How was that just intimidation?"Mr. Dexter, please hold on! I've already called for backup. When they arrive, Dustin won't be able to escape!" Harper continued to encourage him."Stupid motherfucker! Could you please shut up?" Dexter swore in his heart. His life now depended on
