"What's going on? Who did this?"Natasha's brow furrowed tightly as she studied the people on the floor, her face turning cold. Things would still be fine if only a few people were poisoned. Now, however, hundreds of people had been poisoned simultaneously. The consequences would be detrimental. The person who did this clearly only had one aim–to get rid of the Harmon family, once and for all!"Dad! Mom! Uncles!"Ruth panicked after seeing her family fall to the floor consecutively and darted toward them, but before she could reach them, she also spat out blood before crashing to the floor."Ruth!" Natasha paled. She was about to rush forward, but Dustin pulled her back. "Don't go there. It's the air that's poisonous, not the wine!""Then, what should we do? We have to save them!" Natasha cried worriedly, struggling to keep calm when faced with her poisoned family members."Take this pill first." Dustin drew out a white pill and put it into Natasha's mouth. It was a Curax, wh
After struggling for half an hour, everyone finally managed to drink the antidote. Although they were still weak and pale, their lives were no longer in danger.By the time they were finished, Natasha collapsed on the floor, worn out, and Dustin heaved a sigh of relief.It was fortunate that he had so many drugs on hand, or there'd be no way he could deal with so many poisoned patients. "Thank God you're here, Dustin, or our family would have been done for." Hector pulled himself up, his face full of gratitude. The Harmon family had nearly been wiped out."You're welcome, Mr. Harmon. I just did what I had to." Dustin replied, waving his arm."Uncle Hector, don't you find this suspicious?" Quentin suddenly asked. "Why does this guy have the antidote?""What are you implying?" Hector frowned."Everyone who joined the gathering is either from our family or our esteemed guests. Everyone knows each other very well, while this guy is merely a stranger," Quentin said, looking suspicio
Looking at all the hostile faces around him, Dustin smiled an imperceptible cold smile. They really didn't know what was good for them. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have saved anyone. Now, he not only ended up failing to get into anyone's good books but even brought trouble unto himself. How unlucky!"Why so quiet, Dustin? Is it because you're feeling too guilty, so you don't dare to speak a word?" Quentin said aggressively. He looked as if he wanted to get to the bottom of things. "You've already said everything there is to be said. What else can I say?" Dustin snorted and continued, "I saved your lives, but you keep insisting that I poisoned you and speaking so self-righteously. I've never met anyone as ungrateful as you bunch.""Humph! How dare you still defend yourself?!" Quentin's gaze was icy as he said, "If you didn't poison us, then why don't you explain why you have the antidote?""That's right! Why would you have the antidote?!" Everyone started demanding loudly.
"Why don't you trouble yourself? I don't care, but nobody touches Dustin today!" Natasha didn't give in at all. In her eyes, no one was more important than her man. Even if he was guilty, she would still defend him till the end, much less when he was being wronged right then. "Nonsense!" Jacob's temper flared, and he shouted, "How can a junior like you meddle with such an important family matter? Someone take Miss Harmon back to her room!""Yes, sir!" Mrs. Davys and the others dared not show any hesitation. They half dragged, and half persuaded Natasha out of the banquet hall. Witnessing this scene, Dustin frowned. He had wanted to take action a few times already, but he had controlled himself. The Harmon family's ways already ignited his anger. "No one's going to help you now, Rhys." Quentin took two steps forward and gave a low laugh. "I already asked you to leave earlier, but you just didn't want to listen to me. Look where it's gotten you now. You regret it, don't you?""I'
Seeing Quentin die such a sudden death, the crowd was frozen with fright. Their eyes protruded, and disbelief was written across their faces. They could never have imagined Dustin to be so daring as to kill someone over a mere misunderstanding. He was swift, brutal, and very vicious. He never even gave Quentin a chance to negotiate. Shouldn't every hostage be given a chance to negotiate first? Where was the reason for killing someone straight away without saying anything first? He was so unpredictable."It's over. It's really over this time." Ruth smacked her forehead and shut her eyes. If Dustin was just a suspect before this, he was now a murderer, no matter what the truth was. From that moment on, Dustin was the Harmon family's public enemy! After a short moment of silence, the crowd launched into uproar."How dare you kill someone with all of us watching! Today will be your last day!" "Fuck! Is that idiot crazy? How could he be so bold as to kill a member of the Harmon family o
"Everybody, I know that all of you hate me, but please let me say a few words." Dustin looked around and said loudly, "As long as you let me finish speaking, you can kill me or do anything you please. I will not resist!" "Hmmph! Are you still trying to make excuses till the very end?" Jacob demanded with a glare."I must say this regardless of whether you'll believe me, but Quentin deserved to die. That's because he is the real culprit who poisoned you!" Dustin dropped a bombshell. "Bullshit!" Jacob snorted coldly. "Quentin is a Harmon. How could he poison members of his own family? I think you're just framing him!""That's right! If you're going to make up a story, then at least make it believable. Who would believe you saying Quentin was the culprit?" Everyone scoffed and looked at Dustin with hostile gazes. If it wasn't because Natasha was shielding him, they would have attacked him long ago. "You say that Quentin is the culprit, but do you have evidence?" Hector, who had be
"Outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous! All of us saw with our own eyes that Quentin was alive and well before you killed him. Yet you dare say that he was just a corpse? How absolutely ridiculous!" Jacob's rage burned to a whole new level, and he wanted to rip Dustin apart."Hmmph! Do you take us for fools? What makes you think we would believe your bullshit?!""Exactly! You were the one who killed Quentin. We all witnessed it!"The crowd was furious, and their suspicions towards Dustin grew even stronger. How dare he deny killing someone and even use such a ludicrous excuse to clear his name? Did he think they were three-year-olds? "Young man, do you know what you're talking about?" Hector said with a frown. He had tried to give Dustin a chance to explain himself, but his words only grew more outrageous. "I know you guys don't believe me, but I have proof." Dustin walked to Quentin's corpse and ripped Quentin's clothes off, exposing patches of red lines to the crowd. "Do y
Jacob was stunned and he couldn't really believe his eyes. It was his first time witnessing such a strange incident. "The Dark Lord! It must be the Dark Lord's doing!" some members of the Harmon family started shouting. From time to time before this, some Harmon family members would die sudden deaths, but none of them had been as terrifying as this incident."How very brutal!" Hector frowned deeply, looking distressed. Someone had killed Quentin first, then controlled his body with witchcraft to poison the whole Harmon family. These tactics were not just cunning but vicious. Nobody other than the Dark Lord could be capable of it."I'm sure you guys believe my words now?" Dustin said at the perfect timing. "I …" Jacob was hesitant to speak. Although it was hard to accept, the facts were laid before him, and he had no choice but to believe it. "Dad! The truth is out. Won't you ask your men to fall back?" Natasha said. "Fall back." Hector gestured with his hand for the guards to
