Instantly, silence ensued. Looking at the lupine guards who had drawn their last breath, everyone was so terrified that they were lost for words. They couldn't believe that all nine guards had lost their lives because of Dustin's stomp. When Jayla came back to her senses, she blew up at once and shouted, "How dare you kill my lupine guards!" Each and every one of the lupine guards had been carefully trained by the Grant family. Now that ten of them were dead, how could Jayla possibly put up with it?"It won't end with just their deaths; you are going to pay back for what you did!" With a cold expression on his face, Dustin slowly walked closer to Jayla, his eyes darkening. "W—what do you want to do? I'm warning you; don't do anything absurd!" Jayla took two steps back in fright.As if she felt that it was embarrassing to retreat, she stopped at once and held her head high, putting on an arrogant look. She was the daughter of the Grant family. Why was she afraid of someone l
"Rhys! An outsider like you is in no place to boss us around!" Jacob was exasperated."Since none of you has the guts to stand up for Natasha, I'll do it, then! I don't mind offending the Grants!" Dustin opened his hand, and a steel knife slid into his palm. "Today I'm going to take an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth! No intercession is allowed!"As soon as he finished saying that, he scratched Jayla's face with the sharp blade, leaving a deep, bloody mark."Ah!" Jayla exclaimed shrilly in pain. "Don't you dare!""You son of a bitch! Stop right now!"Jacob and the rest of the members of the Harmon family shouted, their facial expressions changing drastically. However, Dustin didn't care about them at all. He drew another line across Jayla's face, forming a huge "X" on it."Rhys, do you know what you are doing? If you hurt Ms. Grant, even the Emperor won't be able to save you!" Jacob was furious.Dustin remained silent as he continued to wave his knife at Jayla, destro
"Dustin, don't!""Mother fucker! Don't you dare!" When Dustin raised his weapon, everyone was shocked and immediately yelled to stop him.However, Dustin turned a deaf ear to their shouts and decisively struck at Jayla. Jayla's wild laugh came to a stop in an instant. The next second, her head fell from her neck, rolling on the floor like a ball for a while before it stopped. Her widened eyes were filled with disbelief. As if she didn't expect Dustin to kill her for real in front of so many people. The power and status that she had been bragging about were completely of no use at this moment. Everything was over for her. "S—she died?"Looking at Jayla's chopped-off head, everyone was scared out of their wits. That was the daughter of the Grant family, who was also Tyler's sister, and at the moment, she had gone the way of all flesh. "This is bad!" Natasha paled. If Dustin had only killed the lupine guards, there were still chances to turn the situation around. Howev
The brawl finally ended ten minutes later. Although dozens of Flame Dragon Gang disciples were injured in the process, they managed to completely annihilate the Grants' elite men."Sir, I did not fail you. I have eliminated all these pests!" Nelson and his men rushed toward Dustin eagerly."Well done. It must have been tiring." Dustin nodded. "Not at all. It's our honor to serve you!" Nelson responded with a grin."Clean this place up. Don't leave any evidence behind." Dustin ordered. "Yes, Sir!" "Boys, it's time to clean up!" Nelson hollered at his men, and they immediately got to work."I didn't know you were the Flame Dragon Gang's leader." Natasha's surprised expression quickly turned into a frown. "Still, even with the gang's help, we can't win against the Grants. We're in real trouble this time.""The Grants might be powerful, but that doesn't mean they can't do whatever they please. There's always someone more powerful than them," Dustin replied nonchalantly."As if it'd be
Meanwhile, at the Grants' mansion, Tyler Grant was practicing with a terrain model. As a gifted individual, he excelled in everything he did, including terrain model training. Since few could compete against him, he usually trained by himself. "Something terrible has happened, Mr. Grant!" One of the butlers barged into his study anxiously. "Get out," Tyler ordered icily without looking at the butler. "But—"The butler swallowed the rest of his words when he received Tyler's menacing glare and scuttled back to the door to wait patiently. It took a while for Tyler to finish his practice. When he was finished, he asked, "What is it?""Sir, we just received news that Ms. Layla was killed!" The butler cried in despair. "She was killed?" Tyler's brows furrowed. "What happened?""She wanted to take revenge for you, so she set up a trap for Natasha Harmon." The butler quickly briefed Tyler on what happened. "That idiot. How could she do something like that without permission?" Tyler hum
Back in the Harmon estate."There, all done. You'll be fine in a few days." Dustin carefully applied medicine to Natasha's wound and bandaged it up nicely. Although the wound was shallow, it would still hurt. "Will it leave a scar on my face?" Natasha picked up a mirror and examined her face worriedly. "Why? Do you doubt my skills?" Dustin asked in mock displeasure."I'm just worried I'll look ugly if I have a scar, and you won't like me anymore," Natasha answered seriously. "Don't be silly." Dustin was amused. "I promise you, your face won't scar. Besides, even if it does, you'll still be the prettiest person in the world to me!""Hmph! Such a sweet talker." A small smile appeared on Natasha's face, and her worry eased. Although she wasn't as superficial as other ladies, she was also afraid of turning ugly."Dustin, get your ass over here!" Someone suddenly roared, sending the door flying with a powerful kick, and a group of people led by Trent instantly filled the room. "What ar
There was an ear-splitting bang as the bullet embedded itself inches before Jacob's foot, making the man jump back in fear. "H—how could you pull the trigger on me?" Jacob cried, outraged. He never expected Natasha to be the type to do something like that to her elder. If the bullet's trajectory had been slightly off the mark, he would've lost his foot!"You better not mess around, Uncle Jacob." Natasha threatened frostily."How dare you!" Trent roared. "Natasha Harmon, he is your uncle! You'd be disgracing our family if you had hurt him just now!""I don't want to hurt anyone, so you better not force me to," Natasha responded unrelentingly. "Y—you bastard! Do you intend to betray your family for that boy?" Trent was furious. The Harmon family had always lived by a rule—nothing mattered more than the family's interests, which meant that they could sacrifice anyone if it meant saving their family. Therefore, Natasha's contradictory actions were seen as a sign of disloyalty."All I ca
"Of course not, Father. You will always be the head of the family." Trent smiled sheepishly. "Fine. Since you said that, I'll give you my opinion." Andrew surveyed the room. "Dustin has saved my life, as well as helped our family multiple times. We are in his debt, so anyone who tries to take him today will be going against me!""What?" The group shared dismayed glances. They never expected Andrew to stand up for Dustin during this crucial time. "Father, this bastard killed one of the Grants' daughters! He will only drag us deeper into this mess!" Trent rebutted. "Trent is right! We're doing this for the greater good of the family!" Jacob seconded. "You bunch say such lofty things when you're just cowards!" Andrew struck the floor with his cane forcefully. "The Grants have been stepping all over us, and instead of standing up against them, you choose to grovel and please them? What an embarrassment to our family!""Fath—""Silence!" Andrew cut off Trent's words. "Our family has go
