An Understated Dominance (Chinese Version) Chapter 121-140

Chapter 130 Over at the banquet hall, Dahlia was puzzled when she saw
Julie panting as she entered. “Didn’t you say that you were waiting for a
friend, Julie? Where’s your friend?” “Something came up and she couldn’t
make it.” She smiled sheepishly. “Oh, Dahlia, could you lend me your
compact mirror, please? I need to fix my makeup.” “I remembered that
you’ve brought one yourself,” Dahlia said. “Mine’s faulty. I’d prefer to
use yours.” Without waiting for a reply, Julie took Dahlia’s bag and
fished around in it. Dahlia was annoyed by that. She had to admit, her
cousin was really a spoiled brat who lacked manners. “Thanks, Dahlia.”
Julie tossed Dahlia’s bag back to her after she managed to get the
compact mirror out. Then, she made up some excuse to go to the washroom.
Right at that moment, Tina made her entrance, followed by a crowd behind
her, creating a ruckus in the banquet hall, In the end, she stopped smack
in the middle of the hall. “Quiet down, everyone. I have an announcement
to make.” Tina raised her hand and gestured for the crowd to calm down.
The effect was immediate and the hall fell silent. “It’s my birthday
party today, and it was meant to be a happy occasion, but something awful
has happened!” Tina’s gaze swept across the hall before she continued. “A
pair of valuable earrings which I have intended to wear for the occasion
has been stolen. They are a unique pair of custom–made Pandarum earrings,
and they are priceless to me!” The crowd was in an uproar when they heard
that. “What? Did someone steal Miss Hummer’s earrings? Who has the guts
to do that?” “We must find out who did it! Such a vile person must never
be let off the hook!” “Damn it! If I ever find out who stole Miss
Hummer’s belongings, I’ll make sure to rearrange his face!” The crowd in
the hall was all worked up, shouting curses and threats at the thief. On
the one hand, they despised the thief, but on the other hand, they were
trying to please Tina. “Everyone, please calm down. The fact is, I know
who did it.” Tina continued. “Who? Where’s the thief among us? Everyone
looked around, trying to figure out who the culprit was. Tina smiled
mirthlessly and strode over to Dahlia. “She’s the one!” Tina pointed a
finger at Dahlia. “What?” The crowd was collectively taken aback by the
accusation, If the culprit had been a creep, they would have gone ahead
and taught him a lesson. But it turns out that the person whom Tina had
accused of stealing her belongings was an enchanting beauty. Everyone was
at a loss. “Isn’t that the president of Quine Group? Why would she
steal?” “Exactly! Everyone knows Ms. Nicholson. She wouldn’t stoop so
low, would she?” “One may know a person for a long time without
understanding his true nature. Who knows what vile Intentions this lady
is hiding behind her glamorous appearance?” The men were generally
doubtful of Tina’s accusation, whereas the ladies trusted her fully.
“Miss Hummer, there must be some sort of misunderstanding. I have not
stolen anything.” Dahlia took a moment to regain her composure before
denying Tina’s accusation. She had never thought that Tina would pin it
on her. “A quick search should easily be able to tell us whether or not
you did it.” A faint smile graced Tina’s features. “Miss Hummer, would it
not be inappropriate to conduct a search on a guest whom you’ve invited
to your birthday party in front of everyone?” Dahlia knew that she was
innocent, but that did not mean that she should allow others to do as
they please. After all, Tina’s suggestion to go through her belongings
was an obvious act of disrespect. “What do you have to fear if you’re not
guilty?” Tina smirked. “That’s right! If you truly are innocent, what
harm would a search do to you?” “Hmph! I think that someone’s just
feeling guilty!” The ladies started to back Tina up. Dahlia’s presence
alone was enough to overshadow their radiance, so they were eager to see
her get into trouble. “Fine, since Miss Hummer insists on going through
my things, then, by all means, go ahead.” Dahlia could not be bothered to
argue with her, so she handed her bag over. Her conscience was clear, and
she did not want to cause a scene, so she might as well let them go
through her bag to prove her innocence. Tina did not say anything and
simply gestured for her bodyguards to search Dahlia’s bag. Soon, the
bodyguards fished out a delicate jewelry box from the bag. The jewelry
box even had Tina’s name carved on it. “Miss Hummer, here it is!” The
bodyguard handed the jewelry box over to her. Chapter 130 “Ladies and
gentlemen, do you see this?” Tina raised the jewelry box and took out the
pair of magnificent ruby earrings in it, displaying them to the crowd.
“This! this is evidence!” The moment the pair of ruby earrings were
produced, it brought about a whoosh of uproar throughout the entire hall.
Eyes widened as shock came over everyone’s faces. “No way! Would the
president of Quine Group do such a thing?” “Hah! And I thought that she
would be above that! Who would’ve guessed that she was so materialistic!”
“I thought that such a beautiful person would know to conduct hersell
better than this! Of all things to do, why would she go and steal from
others? That’s terrible!” At that moment, the winds of opinion completely
shifted. With irrefutable evidence staring them in the face, everyone
chose to believe Tina. “No! That’s not possible!! Dahlia’s expression
changed as she shook her head vigorously. “Why is this in my bag? I’ve
never even touched it!” “You B*tch!” Infuriated. Tina slapped Dahlia.
Smack! Five red streaks immediately bloomed on Dahlia’s cheek. “Miss
Hummer, I did not steal them! Someone must have set me up!” Dahlia fought
to explain. “How dare you deny it when we have concrete evidence? Seems
like you’re one to give up only at the sight of the gallows!” Without
saying any more, Tina gave her two more slaps. She truly wasn’t going
easy on her. Dahlia’s face swelled up and her hair was a mess. “I did not
steal!” She clenched her jaws, an unyielding look in her eyes. “If I said
you stole it, that means you did!” Tina scoffed. “Guards! Hold her down!
I’m going to teach her a lesson today!” “Yes, Miss Hummer!” Two of her
bodyguards went up to Dahlia and restrained her. They held her arms
behind her back and brought her down to her knees so that she was
kneeling. “You slut! How dare you seduce my man? Have you got a death
wish?” Tina grabbed hold of Dahlia’s hair, a wicked look on her face. “It
was you? You were the one who framed me?” Dahlia was stunned for a moment
before it struck her. She had been Tina’s target from the get–go! Chapter
125 “Hah! Guess you’re not such a thickhead after all.” Tina let out a
low laugh. “But so what if you know? No one can help you now. I can deal
with you however I want to.” With that, she picked up a bottle of red
wine and stuffed the neck of the bottle into Dahlia’s mouth. The red
fluid gushed into Dahlia’s mouth, and Dahlia choked on it, coughing
unstoppably. Her face was flushed red. She felt lightheaded and it was
horrible. “Down it! I said, down it!” Tina’s expression was nothing short
of maniacal.

Chapter 131 “You whore! How dare you seduce my boyfriend? I’ll make
your life a living hell! Tina kept forcing the wine on Dahlia,
humiliating her before the crowd. She was rough and ruthless. By the time
the bottle of wine was emptied, Dahlia had slumped to the ground
helplessly. Even then, Tina did not stop. She grabbed a fistful of
Dahlia’s hair and pulled her head up. Then, a torrent of slaps rained
down on Dahlia, each one harder than the one before. “You slut! You
whore! How dare you mess with my boyfriend? How dare you?” Tina shouted
as she roughed Dahlia up, almost in a frenzy. When Tina finally stopped,
Dahlia’s face was swollen and blotched, with streaks of blood coming out
the comer of her mouth. “Why? Why?” Dahlia asked breathlessly, trying to
regain her bearings. “You have the audacity to ask why? Are you unaware
of what you have done, you B*tch!” Tina reached for Dahlia’s hair again
and slammed her head hard to the ground. Blood gushed out immediately. A
mixture of blood and wine dripped down Dahlia’s face. The sight of Dahlia
lying on the ground and unable to get up did not garner any sympathy from
Tina, in fact; it seemed to excite her. She raised her leg and stomped
hard on Dahlia’s linger. “Ah!” Dahlia could finally hold in no longer,
and a shriek escaped her. A piercing pain overtook her senses. “You
shameless tramp! You like flirting around with other men, don’t you? I’d
like to see if you’d ever seduce my boyfriend again!” A crazed smile
crept up on Tina’s face as she repeatedly stepped on Dahlia’s hand with
her stilettos. Each time, it struck with greater brutality and ferocity.
In no time, both of Dahlia’s hands were a mess of flesh and blood. It was
a terrifying sight. “Ahh!” Dahlia’s face turned lifeless from the
agonizing pain, and she trembled uncontrollably. Even the strongest of
men would not be able to endure it after such merciless torture, much
less a woman like Dahlia. Most of the crowd felt sorry for her when they
saw the state she was in. Surely an act of theft did not warrant such
cold–blooded torture? It was too cruel! 14 “Dahlia, you can’t blame me
for this. You’ve only got yoursell to blame for messing with Ms. Hummer’s
boyfriend and offending her.” In a corner, Julie trembled like a leaf.
She did not think that Tina would be so unforgiving. She just came short
of torturing Dahlia to her gravel “Ms. Hummer, she’s out cold.” A
bodyguard told Tina, Dahlia had already passed out from the abuse. She
had multiple fractures on her fingers, and her entire palm was bloody. It
was a ghastly scene. “She’s down so soon? What a bore.” Tina looked down
at Dahlia like she was not done with her yet. She lifted her leg and
wiped the blood off her heels on Dahlia’s clothes. Then, with a
nonchalant wave of her hand, she said, “Throw her out. I’ll play with her
next time.” Had it not been for her birthday party that night, she would
make sure that she had her fun with her. After Dahlia was thrown out,
Julie, who knew that she was guilty, dared not dally any longer. She sent
Dahlia to the hospital immediately. The medical staff in the emergency
ward were all shocked by Dahlia’s state when she was sent in. She was a
gruesome sight to behold, all covered in blood. The greatest issue was
that it was an obvious case of assault, not an accident. So the question
was, who would be so brutal to torture a woman until she was in such a
miserable state? “Where is the patient’s next of kin?” A doctor asked.
“There was another lady here with her earlier on, I don’t know where she
went.” A nurse looked around, searching for Julie. “Check the patient’s
bag to see if there’s a phone in there. Contact her family right away.”
“Okay, sure.” The nurse went through Dahlia’s bag and quickly found her
phone and unlocked it with Dahlia’s fingerprint. She called the contact
which was set as “Husband“. Over at Peaceful Medical Centre, a phone
rang. Dustin, who was in the process of producing Immortunol, pulled his
phone out and frowned. He picked up the call. “Hello, is anything the
maller?” “Hello? Are you a farmily member of the owner of this phone? I’m
calling from the emergency ward of East Swinton Hospital. You need to
come here as soon as possible. The patient’s in bad shape.” “She’s hurt?
What happened?” Dustin’s brows knitted even tighter together. “I’m not
too sure either. Come quick.” Chapter 131 Dustin fell silent. Without a
moment’s hesitation, he rushed over to Fast Swinton Hospital after
hanging up the call. When he stepped into the emergency ward to lind
Dahlia lying unconscious on the hospital bed, his expression clouded
over. Her face was swollen, blood came out from her mouth, and her
forehead had suffered a strong impact. Worst of all was her fingers,
which were broken from being stepped on. They were a bloody mess that he
could hardly bear the sight of It was not difficult to imagine the pain
she had been through before she lost consciousness. “You’re her husband,
aren’t you? What have you been up to? How could you let your wife be
tortured sol terribly? That’s very irresponsible of you!” The head nurse
complained, feeling sorry for Dahlia. “How is she?” Dustin’s brows
furrowed. “The patient is not in critical danger currently, but her
wounds will take quite a while to heal. Her hands, especially, have
multiple comminuted fractures. There is a possibility that they may never
fully recover,” The head nurse cautioned him. “Who did this?” Dustin’s
expression was terrifyingly cold and emotionless. “How would I know?
You’re her husband, and you have no idea who did it?” The head nurse
scowled. Dustin held his silence. Suddenly, his gaze shot over to the
door. There was a suspicious person craning by the door in an attempt to
peek at them. He dashed over and grabbed the person. “Hey, Rhys! What are
you doing? Let go of me!” Julie cried out in dismay. “Who did this to
Dahlia? Tell me Dustin demanded furiously. “I–How would I know?” Julie
stuttered. The very next next second, she was lifted off the ground by a
hand that found its way around her throat. She suffocated, and her
struggles to catch her breath proved futile. “I’ll ask you again. Who did
it?” There was a fierce glint in Dustin’s eyes, and a chilling hostility
emanated from him. A bone–piercing coldness instantly enveloped the
entire ward. “It–It was Edwin Hummer’s daughter, Tina Hummer who did it
Flustered, Julle blurted out the truth. She had never seen such a
frightening side to Dustin. His gaze was akin to that of the Devil,
giving chills to whoever met it. Julie began to tremble. “Watch over
her.” Once Dustin got the answer he wanted, he left without another word.
Chapter 131 A fiery anger burned in his chest.

Chapter 132 The sky started to rain. At that moment, the atmosphere
at the party in Emperor Hotel was lively as usual. The commotion earlier
clearly had not affected the party. Tina looked like a princess,
surrounded by people. Everyone approached her to leave a good impression.
Yet, most of the people did not interest her. Only a few distinguished
guests were worthy of chatting with her. “Miss, Mr. Williams and Mr.
Chapman are here.” One of the butlers came up to her and reported. Tina
turned around and saw two fine–looking men who were standing quietly at
the entrance of the party. One of them was Oliver from Boulderthorn! The
other was Oliver’s senior, Troy Chapman. Behind the two of them were two
bodyguards. “Mr. Williams. Mr. Chapman. It’s good to see you again.” Tina
immediately gave them a warm welcome with a smile. “Happy birthday, Ms.
Hummer.” Oliver and Troy presented their gifts respectively. “Oh, please.
It is my honor to have you both as my guests. There’s no need for
presents. Tina grinned. “It is only proper to reciprocate Joshua’s
kindness. After all, he has always treated us well. A small token of
appreciation is nothing.” Oliver smiled. Had they come from an ordinary
rich family, she wouldn’t have given them a second glance. However,
Tina’s brother, Joshua, was a disciple of Boulderthorn. He was their
senior. And so, it was necessary for her to attend to them. “Oh right,
why is my brother not here today?” Tina asked. “Joshua is on a retreat at
the moment. He’s unable to leave, so he sent us here to meet you.” Oliver
explained. “I see Tina nodded and extended her hand. “Please have a seat,
let me know if there’s anything you need.” “Alright. Thank you, Ms.
Hummer.” Oliver gave a slight nod before sitting down alongside Troy.
Because of Tina’s warm attitude, the surrounding guests‘ attention
gathered around the two men. “Who are they? Why did Tina personally
welcome them?” “I don’t know. They seem unfamiliar, I don’t think they’re
from Swinton.” “Then, perhaps they are someone important from Millsburg?”
The sound of whispers rippled through the crowd as curiosity overlook
them. As the evening wore on, more guests arrived at the party, and the
atmosphere grew increasingly lively. 1/3 Chapter 132 At that moment, a
black silhouette approached the entrance of the Emperor Hotel with an
umbrella in hand. After reaching the gate, he was stopped by two guards.
“Stop right there! Today is Ms. Hummer’s birthday. Only those who
received an invitation are allowed to enter!” “Step aside!” Dustin did
not want to waste another second and immediately headed inside.
“Scoundrel! You’ve got some nerve!” The two guards immediately gripped
Dustin’s shoulder. The instant the two of them made contact with him,
they were hurled backward with a force that sent them tumbling through
the air, their cries of pain echoing through the night. “Quick! Inform
Sir Zims!” One of the guards immediately took out his phone and called
for backup. When he turned back, Dustin had already walked past the
gates. After a short ride in the lift, he walked inside the ballroom. As
he looked at the lively crowd, Dustin took a deep breath before shouting,
“Which one of you is Tina Hummer?!” His voice wasn’t piercing, yet it
echoed across the room. The lively crowd instantly went silent. Everyone
turned towards him with displeasing looks. “Who dared to call Ms. Hummer
by her name?!” Everyone wondered. “Hm? Who’s calling me?” Tina stood up
slowly with a displeased look in her eyes. Dustin silently walked forward
as everyone stared down at him. “Hey, isn’t that Dahlia’s ex–husband? Why
is he here?” “I’m guessing he’s probably here to apologize. After all,
stealing from Ms. Hummer is not a small matter.” “He’s apologizing after
his woman got beaten up? How shameful!” People all around the room began
to murmur amongst themselves as they pointed at the man. They were mostly
mocking him. “What? Are you here to apologize for that B*tch? Tina’s eyes
scanned the man from head to toe, her lips curling into a sinister smile
as she sized him up. “If you’re really interested in helping your friend,
you might want to start by getting down on your knees. And who knows, if
I’m pleased, maybe I’ll consider letting her off the hook.” “So, you were
the one who caused Dahlia’s injuries?” Dustin slowly approached her.
Seconds later, he stood in front of her. “So what if I was the one who
caused her injuries? That B*tch didn’t know her limits. A slut like her
deserved a beating!” Tina laughed coldly. “And let me tell you, this
matter is far from over. Today was just a little warning. In the future,
I’ll pay it back bit by bit! I will be her nightmare for the rest of her
lifel Chapter 132 As soon as the words left Tina’s lips, a sudden,
sharp sound echoed through the room. “Smack!” Tina was sent flying across
the room. Her body flipped through the air, twisting and turning in a
blur of motion, before finally crashing down onto the ground with a
sickening thud. In an instant, blood started oozing from her nose, and
her teeth scattered around the place. The entire room was stunned at the
scene. Everyone’s jaw dropped to the ground in disbelief. No one would’ve
thought that Dustin would hit her. Moreover, he slapped her in front of
such a crowd. Everyone knew that she was Edwin Hummer’s daughter! She was
the belle of the ball in all of Swinton! “Had he lost his mind?! How dare
he lay a finger on Miss Hummer? Does he not treasure his life?!” Everyone
thought. “You–You dare to hit me?” Tina held her burning cheek and stood
up as her legs wobbled beneath her. Her face was filled with shock and
confusion. Ever since she was a child, no one dared to disrespect her.
Let alone slap her. She didn’t know how to react. “Smack!” Without
wasting another second, he slapped her once again with all his might. As
blood spurted from her mouth, her once–pretty face now disfigured, her
teeth shattered and her features swollen and reddened, the sight was both
shocking and distressing. Her hair was in complete disarray, leaving a
chaotic mess in its wake. “I’ll make you pay ten times the pain that you
inflicted on Dahlia!” Dustin roared out. His words and actions were
impulsive and reckless. “Boom!” In a split second, the party was in
shambles. One could say that the first slap was done out of impulse. A
second slap was already humiliating and provoking her. But who in the
right mind would want to provoke the Hummers?!

Chapter 133 “He dared to hit Ms. Hummer? He must be asking for
death!” “He’s out of his mind! He’s definitely gone insane!” “He struck
Ms. Hummer in front of such a crowd! Not even the Gods could spare him
now!” Because of Dustin’s actions, the whole room went into chaos. Some
were shocked, not knowing how to react. Others were impressed, while the
rest were in disbelief. For all their lives, they’d believed that only a
person like Tina Hummer could bully others. They could never even imagine
someone who would strike back! “Kill him! Kill him now!” When Tina stood
up again, she was in a frenzy. Her face contorted with terrifying rage.
“Kill! Him!” The guards in the area finally returned to their senses and
charged toward him with a baton. Dustin was unfazed. He moved at the
speed of light, defcating each guard with a single punch, sending them
flying across the room in all directions. He glided through the entire
fight effortlessly, not a single hint of struggle showing on his face.
The sight of the guards writhing on the ground in agony left everyone
stunned. It was worth noting that these were Hummer’s elite bodyguards,
each capable of taking down five men with ease. And yet a single punch
from Dustin was all it took to bring down all of these elite bodyguards.
It was indeed surprising. “Guards! Bring me more guards!” One of the
bodyguards quickly reached for his walkie–talkie and called for backup.
Dustin remained unfazed and continued to advance, step by step. “Stop
him! Quick, stop him!” Tina was frantic as she stumbled backward. A few
onlockers had the urge to play hero and rescue Tina, but one stern look
from Dustin was enough to leave them frozen in shock, unable to make a
move. “You bastard! How dare you lay a hand on me? Do you have any idea
who I am? I am Edwin Hummer’s daughter! If you don’t want to meet an ugly
end, then bow down and apologize to me right now!” Tina’s voice trembled
with fear, despite the brave front she put on. She mentioned her own
family background as a means of defense, hoping that he would know better
and back down. Her threat fell on deaf ears as she was met with another
heavy slap in response, In a split second, her head was spinning as blood
spilled from her mouth. “You don’t need to mention that. Even If you’re
dad is here, I’ll still slap you! Dustin said with a cold expression as
he grabbed Tina by her hair and slapped her even harder. Chapter 133
Each slap landed with a heavy sound ringing across the room. “Smack,
smack, smack, smack!” After a few slaps, Tina’s face was left disfigured.
Her nose and lips were tangled up. It was a gory scene to behold. All the
guests w were stunned and frozen in shock at the sight before them. Every
single one of them had their jaws drop to the ground. This was just
crazy! It wasn’t just about hitting her face. He was disrespecting the
Hummers! He was playing with fire and risking his life! “Stop!” Suddenly,
a loud angry yell reverberated across the room. In the next moment,
Oliver and Troy emerged from the crowd. Upon seeing the blood on Tina’s
face, both of them became furious in an instant. “Who dares to make a
ruckus at Tina’s party?!” Oliver bellowed in an intimidating voice.
“Huh?” Dustin turned around and immediately recognized the familiar
faces. “So it’s you!” Oliver was taken aback at first, but his surprise
quickly gave way to a wave of seething anger. “What a coincidence! I’ve
been searching for you everywhere. I can’t believe you’d show up here!”
“Oliver, you know this guy?” Troy was curious. “Troy, this was the guy
who punched me two days ago,” Oliver said with gritted teeth.

Chapter 134 “You dare to hit someone from Boulderthorn? You must be
tired of living!” Troy’s gaze immediately turned cold and unfriendly.
Troy and Oliver were as close as brothers, and any harm inflicted upon
one was seen as an affront to the other. “Save me! Save me!” Tina’s eyes
lit up with hope at the sight of Oliver and Troy, and she suddenly
regained some of her energy. “Don’t worry, Ms. Hummer. With me and Oliver
here, this guy won’t be able to harm you!” Troy assured confidently. As
soon as he finished speaking, Dustin delivered another brutal slap,
causing Tina to be flung across the table. Without a second of
hesitation, he immediately proved him wrong. “You-!” Oliver was furious.
He was caught off guard by Dustin’s unpredictable actions, causing a
slight delay in his response. “You bastard! You’re dead meat! Your entire
family will be dead! These two are the best fighters in Boulderthorn.
You’re just a piece of trash in front of them! I’ll let them break all of
your limbs before torturing you myself!” Tina sneered, her face contorted
with a lust for vengeance as she stood up shakily. “Boulderthorn?!”
Hearing the name, everyone broke into whispers once again. Everyone was
familiar with the name. Boulderthorn was one of the top two guilds in the
entire South City. The disciples of Boulderthorn were renowned for their
incredible strength and skill, able to move mountains with just a small
kick. But the top disciples were on another level altogether, possessing
an unparalleled level of prowess and finesse. One of them was enough to
wipe out an entire room. “Who would’ve thought that people from
Boulderthorn are here? Looks like this fellow is really dead meat.” “Well
deserved! Whoever dares to make a ruckus here would have to pay the
ultimate price!” “Kid, if I were you, I’d be on my knees begging for
forgiveness. If you’re lucky enough, you’d get a chance to live.” The
crowd erupted into a frenzied discussion, with people whispering and
shouting their opinions on the unfolding scene. From their perspective,
Dustin is indeed skilled in lighting. However, in front of the top
disciples from Boulderthorn, he wouldn’t even stand a chance! “So what if
you’re from Boulderthom? No one can stop me from doing what I want to
dol” Dustin replied coldly, without a hint of fear. “Bastard! You’re
crazy! If I hadn’t gone easy on you last time, do you think you could get
away without a Chapter 134 scratch?” Oliver was furious. “Oliver, let me
handle it.” Troy approached Dustin with a darkened face, but before he
could take any action, Oliver stopped him with a hand. “Wait, do we
really need to do this? This guy isn’t even from a guild. If we
accidentally kill him, won’t people start spreading rumors about
Boulderthorn bullying others?” As he spoke, he signaled the two
bodyguards behind them. “Anna, Emma, get rid of that punk! Don’t hold
back!” “Yes, Sir!” The two women immediately pulled out their swords. Two
days earlier, they weren’t prepared, so they were defeated by Dustin. But
today, they would not let the same mistake happen again. “Mr. Williams!
That bastard’s not an easy target. Aren’t you underestimating him too
much by sending the two of them against him?” Tina was suspicious. “Don’t
worry, Ms.Hummer. The two of them are very skilled. They were trained by
my father. Defeating him is nothing for them!” Oliver said confidently.
To be honest, both of them were even more skilled than he was. “Alright!
Then I’m counting on you to get my revenge!” Tina said with an evil
smirk. “No problem!” As soon as Oliver gave a signal, the two women
sprung into action, one flanking Dustin on the left and the other on the
right, both bearing down on him with fierce determination. “Zoom!” As the
women closed in on him, their swords shimmered with deadly precision, a
testament to their impressive skill and training. Right when everyone
thought Dustin was about to meet his end. With a loud “Clang!“, the two
swords were shattered into pieces. The impact was so sudden and powerful
that the two women were sent hurtling through the air as if struck by a
car, flying across the room. Before hitting the ground, a spray of blood
erupted from the women’s mouths, painting the air crimson, as they
collapsed into unconsciousness.

Chapter 135 “Holy Shit! What just happened?” The crowd was once again
in awe upon seeing the broken swords and the two women laying on the
floor. They originally thought that Dustin was out of luck, but no one
expected that after that face–off, the Boulderthorn girls would be the
ones who faced defeat. This outcome shocked everyone in the room. “This
kid was not all talk?” Oliver’s eye twitched, his face full of shock. The
previous time, he could argue and say that they weren’t prepared for the
attack. But this time, it was proven that there was a skill disparity.
“So you do have some tricks up your sleeves. No wonder you dared to cause
trouble here.” Troy narrowed his eyes as his lips curled into a playful
smile. Although Anna and Emma were no match for Troy’s skills, they were
certainly enough to defeat a normal fighter. For Dustin to have defeated
them so easily spoke volumes about his abilities, even if it wasn’t much
for Troy. “Mr. Williams! Didn’t you say that it wouldn’t be a problem?”
Tina exclaimed. Her disfigured face made her look like a malicious demon.
“Just a bit of miscalculation. But no worries, this fellow wouldn’t be
able to do much with me and Troy here!” Oliver laughed awkwardly and
explained. “Don’t worry, Ms. Hummer. I will avenge you!” Troy stepped
forward and stared into Dustin’s eyes. “I admit, you do have some skills.
But too bad you’re facing me today! I’ll give you one last chance. Kneel
down and beg for mercy right now, and I might spare your life.” “Punk!
Did you hear that? Hurry up and kneel! Otherwise, you’ll be obliterated
by Troy!” Oliver added. “Really? Give me all you’ve got.” Dustin answered
calmly to their taunts. “Bastard! You really can’t catch a hint! Don’t
you know who Troy is? He’s the Lightning Fist of Boulderthorn, who’s
never fallen in battle!” Oliver bragged confidently. After hearing those
words, the crowd went wild. “What? Is he really the Lightning Fist, Troy
Chapman?!” “Oh my God! I can’t believe even the Lightning Fist is here,
this is gelling Interesting!” “What’s Lightning Fist? Is he great?” “He’s
not only one of the elites in Boulderthorn, He’s at the top of the board!
He could take on a hundred men at once. What do you think, Isn’t he
great?” “There are only a few people in Swinton who can match the
Lightning Fist’s skills. Looks like this kid is meeting his end!” After
learning Troy’s true identity, the crowd began praising him. The
spectators had anticipated an ordinary light, but it was not until a top
fighter like him emerged that they realized the true potential of the
bout. Troy’s chin lifted with a newfound arrogance as he basked in the
adulation of the crowd. He really enjoyed the feeling of being admired.
“Punk! Weren’t you so confident just now? Why are you silent now? Are you
scared?” Oliver mocked. Though his abilities may not have stood out as
much, his senior, Troy, was undoubtedly a top–notch fighter. He had been
training all his life and was already a master at honing his energy. His
ability was second best to the grand master himself, No one in Swinton
could faze him. “What’s a Lightning Fist? I’ve never even heard of it.”
Dustin remained unbothered. These words once again drove the crowd wild.
“My goodness! Does he not treasure his life? He dared insult Lightning
Fist’s name!” “He’s clearly unaware of his limits! He can’t even
comprehend how strong Lightning Fist is!” “What a reckless idiot!
Thinking he knows everything! Let’s see how he faces death later!” All
eyes were fixed on Dustin, who seemed to have earned the scorn and
contempt of the crowd. “Punk! You’ll face the consequences for the words
that just left your mouth!” Troy’s expression turned cold. He was still
acting recklessly even after learning his true identity. How foolish of
him! “I don’t care who you are. You better leave now or I won’t hold back
on you!” Dustin’s eyes were burning with rage as he stared Tina down. The
other people in the room were not even worthy of Dustin’s attention, as
he remained solely focused on Tina. “Mr. Chapman! Kill him!” When Tina
met Dustin’s gaze, she was frightened to death. She could feel a chill
run down her spine. At the moment, she only hoped that he could get rid
of that crazy bastard as soon as possible. “Punk! Since you want to die
so badly, I’ll fulfill your wish!” Troy flexed his muscles as he let out
a yell, causing his shirt to rip apart, revealing his chiseled physique.
The combination of his impressive muscles and his flashy, swift movement
caused a group of ladies to swoon in admiration. “Today, I’ll show you
what it’s like to be a Lightning Fist!” Troy closed the distance between
himself and Dustin with a small, swift movement before leaping into the
air and extending his arms like a hawk, ready to strike. Chapter 135 “How
majestic! How astonishing!” The crowd thought. “Die!” Troy spun around,
his head aimed towards the ground, and struck Dustin’s head with a
powerful punch. The spectators were impressed as they watched Troy’s
impressive pose. “How handsome!” “He’s so majestic!” “Ms. Hummer, did you
see that? That’s Troy’s signature move, the Lightning Fist! One punch
would be able to break mountains!” Oliver explained proudly. “It would be
best if he could kill him with one slap!” Tina said with a sardonic
smile. “One punch is definitely enough to kill him!” “This fellow should
be proud to die in Lightning Fist’s hands!” The guests shook their heads,
convinced that Dustin’s fate was sealed. After all he was facing a full–
blown punch from the Lightning Fist himsell. In Swinton, how many people
would be able to stop this kind of punch? “You’re just all show!”
Dustin’s voice was cold and unwavering as he stood his ground. Without
hesitation, he retaliated with a punch that caught Troy off guard.
“Boom!” Their fists collided with a loud bang. Dustin had not moved an
inch, but the ground beneath him had shattered. Troy, on the other hand,
let out a pained cry as his fist erupted into a trace of blood. He was
sent flying across the room at lightning speed, landing heavily against
the wall as blood spurted from his mouth. Before Troy could even react,
Dustin was already in front of him, delivering another punch. His moves
weren’t as flashy, but they were deadly. “Please spare me!” All the color
drained from Troy’s face as he screamed in horror. With a loud “Thud“, he
kneeled on the ground.

Chapter 136 “Whoosh!” Troy felt a strong gust of wind hit his face,
causing his features to contort in pain as he could feel his bone
becoming dislocated. His eyes were fixed on Dustin’s fist, which stopped
right in front of his chest. Although it was still a few inches away, the
intimidating force still caused him to tremble in fear. “Blargh!” Blood
spurted from his mouth. With just the sheer force of his Fist Energy,
Dustin had the power to dislocate the bones in Troy’s body. The thought
of what would have happened if his fists had actually landed on him was
almost too terrifying to contemplate. He was lucky that he had kneeled in
time. Otherwise, he would’ve been out cold! “Spare me! Please!” Troy was
now on his knees, his face drained of color as he begged frantically. All
the confidence he had earlier was gone, replaced by fear and desperation.
Rather than shock, Troy was feeling terrified at the moment. That was
because when their fists collided, his power shattered like glass in a
split second, leaving him defenseless against the sheer force of his
opponent. He could feel the excruciating pain in every single bone in his
body. This situation would only happen when there was a significant
disparity in skill level. That is why, when Dustin was about to make
another move, Troy chose to beg for mercy. Begging for forgiveness on his
knees was a small price to pay in exchange for his life. “Don’t appear in
front of me again!” Dustin said coldly. “Yes, right away!” Troy
immediately fled the room without an ounce of hesitation. He didn’t even
care about his dignity. “Um.” Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched
Troy flee the scene. The top–notch warrior, an elite disciple from
Boulderthorn known as Lightning Fist, had actually fled from battle?
Everyone’s jaws dropped in disbelief. No one could have predicted this
outcome. Originally, they believed that Troy’s appearance would resolve
the situation, but now the tables had turned completely. If they had not
witnessed it first–hand, they wouldn’t even be able to belleve it. A
legendary warrior who had never been deleated in battle fled the scene in
terror! “How–How is this possible?!” Oliver’s eyes widened in disbelief.
That was his incredible senior, Troy Chapman! Chapter As a disciple of
Boulderthorn, Troy was a master at honing inner energy, with unmatched
skills and extreme talents. Oliver couldn’t wrap his head around how this
had happened. He didn’t even hesitate to kneel down and beg for mercy!
“What the hell is going on?!” Oliver wondered. “T–There’s no way! It’s
impossible!” Tina couldn’t stop shaking her head in shock. That was the
top disciple from Boulderthorn. How could he be defeated by a nobody? In
fact, she wasn’t the only one thinking about it. Everyone in the room had
the same idea. However, the truth was right in front of them, and no
matter how much they wanted to deny it, it wouldn’t change the outcome.
“Did you say that you would stand up for her too?” Dustin’s gaze landed
on Oliver. “Punk! You’re lucky that my senior’s injury recurred today,
otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to escape so easily! Next time,
you wouldn’t be so lucky!” After finishing his sentence, Oliver fled the
scene. Il Troy was no match for Dustin, then wasn’t he just an easy
target? “Mr. Williams! Mr. Williams! Tina yelled at the top of her lungs.
Yet, Oliver picked up the pace and ran even faster, disappearing without
a trace. At that moment, she was frozen on the spot. “As I’ve said, I’ll
pay you back tenfold for the damage you did!” A cold voice rang beside
her ears. Tina turned around and realized that Dustin was already
standing behind her. “I’m warning you! Don’t mess with me! I’m Edwin
Hummer’s daughter! If you dare to lay a finger on me, you and your entire
family, even your relatives, will suffer the consequences of crossing the
Hummers!” Tina shouted desperately. “Sure, I’ll play this game with the
Hummers. But before that, I will need to get my revenge first!” Dustin’s
hand shot out and grasped Tina. A horrific, ear–piercing scream echoed
through the entire hotel. The screams continued every few seconds. When
Julie arrived at the hotel all drenched, she saw Tina being tortured. She
was completely frozen as she stared in shock. Earlier, when Dustin left
the hospital, she felt that something was off. So, she immediately
followed him. She never thought that he could be so brave to go against
Ms, Hummer in front of such a crowd. At that moment, Tina was not just
unrecognizable, all four of her limbs were detached from her body. The
gory scene filled with blood was extremely unsettling. “Stop! Stop this
instant! Dustin! Are you out of your mind? Hurry up and let go of Ms.
Hummer!” Julie came running as she yelled. Dustin ignored Julie
completely. He just looked down at Tina, who was lying on the ground,
with a final flicker of life. “I won’t kill you tonight, but that doesn’t
mean I forgive you. In three days, kneel down and apologize to Dahlia!
Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences!” After finishing his words,
he raised two fingers and thrust them into Tina’s pressure points all
over her body. It was a technique he had developed himself, and it was
deadly. The victim would slowly die in three days. Moreover, he was the
only one who could break the curse. “Crazy bastard! You’re a maniac! Now
that you’ve hurt Ms. Hummer, you’re not the only one who will suffer!
We’re all doomed because of you!” Julie saw Dustin, who was about to
leave, and yelled at him once again. Yet. Dustin did not even spare her a
glance and kept walking towards the exit. The crowd made way for his
exit, not daring to stop him. “Hurry! Secure the premise!” Suddenly, a
shout was heard from outside. A horde of towering fighters stormed into
the room. Instantly, the men surrounded the entire room. “Who dared to
cause trouble at my place?!” A man with dark sunglasses and a smoldering
cigar strolled into the room, emanating a menacing and dangerous aura.
“This is great! Sir Zims is finally here! We can finally have the scene
under controll “Sir Zims is the trusty right–hand man of the Hummer
family. He definitely wouldn’t let him off for beating Ms. Hummer into a
pulp! “Although he’s quite skilled, he only has two fists! He wouldn’t be
able to take on hundreds of men no matter how skilled he is!” The crowd
went wild once again as help arrived at the scene. *Sir Zims! You’re just
in time! Dustin not only caused trouble, but he also beat up Ms. Hummer!”
Julie quickly reported the incident to him. “What? He dared to hit Ms.
Hummer? Which bastard did this? If you have the guts, come forward! Let’s
see if I can tear you apart myself!” Mason’s gaze narrowed, his blood
boiling with anger. “It was me.” Dustin approached him slowly. “You–1”
Before Mason could strike, his expression changed completely when he saw
him. “M–Mr. Rhys? It’s you?!” Dustin simply uttered a single word,
“Scram!” “Yes Sir!” Mason nodded and stepped aside. Once again, the
entire room was dead silent.

Chapter 137 The rain was falling even harder. Edwin was in the middle
of a conversation with Fletcher at the Hummer Villa. “Mr. Hummer, the
first batch of Eternumax has been sold out. On top of that, we received a
lot of positive feedback. A lot of people are interested in partnering
with us in the long term. Now, we’ll be able to mass produce this
product!” Fletcher reported excitedly. “That’s the secret recipe for you,
alright. Who would’ve thought it would have such great feedback right
after its debut?” Edwin laughed joyfully. He originally thought that it
would take a while for people to warm up to the product. He didn’t expect
the opportunity to present itsell so quickly. At that point, he must
strike the iron while it’s hot. “Speaking of which, we should be grateful
to the Harmon family. Without their painstaking research all these years,
we wouldn’t have this baby in our hands right now.” Fletcher grinned.
“Natasha was foolish to dare to fight against me! I’ll defeat her once
and for all with Eternumax!” Edwin said happily. “Then I shall
congratulate Sir Hummer in advance for your success!” Fletcher clapped.
“Alright, it’s getting late. Time to join Tina’s party. If I’m too late,
she’ll certainly have some complaints.” Just as Edwin stood up with a
grin on his face– An old butler ran into the room frantically and
exclaimed, “Sir! Bad news! Ms. Hummer has been beaten up!” “What? Beaten
up? What on earth happened?!” Edwin frowned. Who was brave enough to dare
touch Edwin’s daughter? “There was a kid who stirred things up at the
party. He even beat Ms. Hummer half to death in front of everyone! Ms.
Hummer has already been sent to Hummers Hospital. The butler reported in
a hurry. Hummers Hospital was under the Hummers‘ supervision. It was also
one of the top hospitals in Swinton. The doctors are all global elites in
the medical field who pledged to serve the Hummer family. “Go! To the
hospital!” Edwin didn’t spare another second and immediately rushed to
the hospital along with a group of people. However, as he cautiously
stepped into the hospital ward, his eyes widened in disbelief at the
Jarring scene that greeted him. On the bed laid his own daughter, Tina,
who was nearly lifeless. Her face was utterly unrecognizable, a mangled
and gory mess. Her limbs were even worse, appearing as if they had been
brutally torn apart from her body, her bones shattered and beyond repair.
Chapter 137 “Who?! Who did this?” Edwin roared like a crazed lion. For
all his years, no one dared lay a finger on his daughter. “Sir Hummer,
from what we’ve found, it seemed to be done by a guy named Dustin.” At
that moment, an injured bodyguard explained the earlier events to Edwin.
After hearing his explanation, his expression immediately turned dark.
“That son of a B*tch again! He keeps ruining my day! I’ll cut him into
pieces! Guards! Get me the best trackers and track him down, I want him
captured alive!” Edwin clenched his fists and said between gritted teeth.
“Also, kill the entire Nicholson family! I want them all dead!” “Yes,
Sir!” After receiving orders, the group of people immediately scattered.
“Sir Hummer, that guy’s skill is quite unmatched. Not anyone could go
against him.” Fletcher said. He’d been slapped by Dustin once. Until now,
he’s still a bit traumatized. “What are you trying to say?” Edwin turned
around. “From what I know, it would be best to summon the White Dragon
guild. The members are all top–notch fighters. It shouldn’t be a problem
for them to take on that guy.” Fletcher suggested. “White Dragon guild?
Don’t you think it’s overkill to use them against a nobody?” Edwin
narrowed his eyes. The White Dragon guild was Edwin’s secret weapon, and
he wouldn’t use it lightly. “Sir Hummer, this guy is not just a normal
fighter. He has the Harmon family supporting him. To be safe, we must
summon the White Dragon guild. It would be the best choice.” Fletcher
advised seriously. After pondering for a few seconds, Edwin finally made
the decision. “Alright! Contact the White Dragon Guild immediately. Get
me the best fighters!” Whoever dared to lay a finger on his daughter
would have to pay the ultimate price! On the other hand, in Java Joys.
“What? Dustin stirred up trouble at the Hummer’s party? And he beat Tina
into a pulp?” Natasha was completely shocked at her sister’s words.
“Yeah! Oustin is insane! He beat her up in front of so many people! He
even tore her limbs apart. He’s really on another level!” Ruth said
excitedly. “He doesn’t seem like someone who’d do something irrationally.
How could he do something like that?” Natasha was puzzled, “Probably
because of that girl! How could he hold back after that Nicholson was
publicly shamed? That’s why he went to get revenge.” Ruth did not hide
anything from her sister. Alter hearing the news, she shared every single
detail with her. “No wonder.” Natasha nodded. Chapter 137 “Sis,
aren’t you mad at all?” Ruth was a little surprised. “Why should I be?”
Natasha asked. “Dustin mace such a grand move for that woman. It’s
obvious there are still some lingering feelings between them. Are you not
bothered by it?” Ruth was straight to the point. “Dummy, they just got a
divorce. Of course, there would be some lingering feelings. That’s
inevitable. Also, if Dustin had not acted on it, he would ve lost my
respect.” Natasha was unconcerned. “Sis, I really don’t get what you’re
thinking sometimes. I wouldn’t be able to let it go if a man I like had
lingering feelings for other women.” Ruth scratched her head. “After all,
the ball is in their court. I believe that Dustin wouldn’t let me down.”
Natasha smiled. Dustin’s pride wouldn’t allow him to make the same
mistake twice. “I hope so. Rather than Tyler, I would much prefer Dustin
to be my brother–in–law,” Ruth muttered. “Alright, that’s enough. Nothing
is set in stone yet. Tell the others to keep an eye on Dustin. If he’s in
danger, make sure to help him immediately!” Natasha rolled her eyes and
ordered. “Okay!” Ruth nodded and immediately lelt. They were both well
aware that Edwin would not let this go easily. It was inevitable for a
war to happen…

Chapter 138 After that big incident at the party, Dustin finally
returned to East Swinton Hospital. When he entered the ward. he noticed
that Florence and James had already arrived. “Which evil bastard beat up
my daughter to such a state? How could they be so cruel?!” “Exactly! If I
find out which bastard did this. I’ll tear them into pieces!” Seeing the
injured Dahlia, the Nicholsons couldn’t help but curse, feeling pity for
her. “Why are you here? We didn’t even contact you.” Suddenly, one of
them noticed Dustin, who was standing at the door. “I came to check on
Dahlia’s injury.” Dustin walked into the room slowly, his face not
showing a hint of expression. “Get out! You’re not welcome here!” James
roared, letting out his pent–up anger. “Dustin! Tell us the truth. Does
my daughter’s injury have anything to do with you?!” Florence glared at
him. “I don’t have the details about how she was injured. Perhaps you
should ask Julie this question instead.” Dustin replied. *Julie? Speaking
of which, where is she? Didn’t she attend the party with my sister? Why
isn’t she here?” James frowned. “Could it be that Julie is injured too?
Dustin! What exactly is going on here? Who hurt my daughter? And where is
Julie?” Florence’s expression immediately turned dark. “I think it would
be best if you didn’t find out.” Dustin shook his head. “If you have
something to say, then say it! No matter who hurt my sister, I will make
them pay!” James said furiously. “That’s right! We won’t let them off
easily!” Florence exclaimed. “The person who injured Dahlia is Tina
Hummer,” Dustin answered truthfully. “Tina Hummer? Who’s that?” James had
no clue. “The daughter of the richest man in Swinton, Edwin Hummer.”
Dustin replied. “What?! Sir Hurrmer’s daughter?!” Everyone was stunned by
this piece of information. They exchanged glances, not knowing how to
reply. Especially Florence and James, whose anger immediately
disappeared. They would’ve been yelling for revenge if it had been an
ordinary person. Yet, when they heard the name Hummer, they didn’t even
dare to get angry. “We had no grudges against the Hummer family. How
could Ms. Hummer be so cruel to us?” Florence gulped. “That’s right! My
sister was invited to the party. How did she cross Ms. Hummer?” James
frowned, deep in Chapter 138 thought. The others were uneasy as well. The
Hummer family was someone they would never dare to provoke. Even if they
were wrongly accused, they couldn’t do anything about it. “You won’t have
to do anything. In three days, I’ll let Tina Hummer apologize to you all
in person.” Dustin assured easily. “Hey! Do you even know what you’re
saying? Do you know who Ms. Hummer is? Do you think that’s something you
can handle? You’ll let her apologize? Look at yourself!” James said,
unimpressed. “Exactly! Do you have no idea who you are? You just know how
to brag all day long! If you really had that ability, why would you let
them hurt my daughter in the first place?!” Florence exclaimed. It was
obvious that they did not take Dustin’s words seriously.. After all it
was Edwin’s daughter. A true billionaire. Even they were afraid of
provoking them, let alone a nobody like Dustin. “You all must be the
patient’s relatives.” At that moment, a nurse walked into the room “We
just received a notice that the patient shall be transferred to a VIP
ward and receive better treatment. All of this will be free of charge.
Will you guys accept this offer?” “Free of charge? Of course, of course.
We most definitely accept.” Florence’s eyes sparkled as she nodded
fervently. “That’s great, please follow me.” After a signal from the
doctor, a few others came into the ward to help Dahlia into the new ward.
Dustin stood still as he watched the people leave the room. It was his
order to switch to a VIP ward. Although he was not afraid of Edwin, it
was still inevitable that he would seek revenge. This was his safety
measure. A few moments after Florence and the others left the room, Julie
sprinted into the ward. “Aunt Florence! I have big news! I just saw
Before she could finish her sentence, she was stunned. Her eyes widened
as her gaze landed on Dustin. “You! Why are you here?” “You’re just in
time. I have something to ask.” Dustin approached her slowly. “D–Don’t
corne any closer! What are you trying to do? I’m warning you, slay back!”
Julie retreated two steps. backward in fear. She could still vividly
picture the scere earller where Tina was brutally beaten up. In her eyes,
Dustin was a maniac! “Why are you so afraid? Could it be that you’re
guilty of something?” Dustin said lightly. “You’re the one who should be
guilly! I don’t have anything to hide. What’s there for me to be afraid
of?” Julie declared, putting up a front. Chapter 138 “Good. Then let me
ask you, were you the one who framed Dahlia for stealing at tonight’s
party?” Dustin’s demeanor turned cold. “Nonsense! We’re cousins, how
could I harm her? I’m warning you, don’t accuse someone innocent!”
Julie’s expression contorted into a panic. “Accuse someone innocent?”
Dustin laughed coldly. “Then tell me, how did this end up in Dahlia’s
bag? Who else would have access to her bag other than you?” He tossed a
box in front of her with a pair of ruby earrings inside. “H–How would I
know? It’s not me!” Julie’s eyes flashed with panic as she desperately
clung to her lie. “You better think clearly before you answer. Otherwise,
you’d lose your chance.” Dustin said expressionlessly. “What do you mean?
Are you saying that you’ll lay a finger on me?” Julie shouted sternly.
“You have one minute left.” Dustin lifted a finger. “What on earth are
you trying to do? I’m not afraid of you!” Julie said as she backed away
slowly. “Ten seconds left.” “Dustin! I’m warning you.” Before Julie could
finish her threat, footsteps could be heard outside the room. “Boss. I
already got the information that Danlia is in this ward!” “Good! You,
keep a lookout. The others. follow me!” After an exchange of words, a few
assassins dressed in black immediately swarmed the room. “Who is Dahlia
Nicholson?” The leader scanned the room with a piercing gaze. “She is.”
Dustin pointed his finger at Julie. The next second, with a sharp
“Clang“, two swords were pressed against Julie’s neck. “Bring her!”
Today’s Bonus Offer

Chapter 139 “What?” Julie’s mind went blank when a pair of swords
were held at her neck. She was unable to process what was happening. From
the assassins‘ forced entry to Dustin framing her, everything happened
too quickly. When she finally regained her composure, she was already in
danger. “Rhys! How could you do this to me!” Seeing as she was about to
be held hostage, Julie panicked. “Wait, it’s a mistake! I’m not Dahlia,
you’ve got the wrong person!” “Do you think we are stupid? This man told
us you are Dahlia Nicholson!” The assassins‘ leader retorted. “He’s
spouting nonsense! Don’t believe him!” Julie said, cold sweat running
down her forehead. She never expected Dustin to exact his revenge on her
in such a despicable manner! “According to our intel, Dahlia is in this
hospital room. If you aren’t Dahlia; why would you be here?” The leader
demanded fiercely. “I–I was just passing by-!” Julie stammered. “F*ck!
How dare you lie to me? You must be tired of living!” Julie was violently
slapped on the cheek by the leader, making her ears ring. “What are all
of you doing? Take her away!” He ordered. Some of his men immediately
dragged Julie towards the door. “It’s not me! It’s really not me! Rhys,
you asshole, you framed me! Are you even human?” Julle burst into tears
and wailed loudly. She knew that if she were to be taken away, she would
definitely suffer inhumane abuse. “Dustin! I’m sorry! Please save me, I’m
begging you! I’ve learned my lesson! On account of Dahlia and Old Mr.
Nicholson, you can’t sit back and do nothing! You have to save mel” Julle
broke down and apologized profusely. At this moment, only Dustin could
save her. “Shut the hell up, you B*tch!” Julie’s cries for help got on
the nerves of the assassin leader. He gave her a few more slaps on the
face. Julie staggered and fell to the ground, blood flowing from her
lips. When Dustin felt that Julle had been punished enough, he spoke up,
saying, “Guys, I’m sorry for the confusion. I’ve made a mistake, she is
not Dahlia.” “What did you say?” When they heard this, the assassins
froze. *Punk! How dare you trick me?” The leader narrowed his eyes
threateningly. Chapter 139 “I guess you could say that.” Dustin nodded.
“You bastard!” The leader was furious. He rushed towards Dustin with his
heavy blade and swung it using his full strength. By the agility and
power of his movements, the leader was obviously a martial artist. His
skills were far superior to those of a normal person. However, Dustin did
not dodge. He blocked the attack with his bare hands and landed a kick on
his opponent’s abdomen. The leader screamed in agony as he flew out the
door. “How dare you hurt our leader? You are dead meat!” The other three
assassins threw Julie aside as they turned to attack Dustin
simultaneously. However, before they could get close enough, Dustin gave
all three of them a flying kick and knocked their heads together. Without
another word, they fainted on impact. “F*ck, who is this monster?” The
last assassin, who was guarding the door, saw what happened to his
teammates. Fearful for his life, he ran away as fast as his legs could
take him. Four of his friends were dead. He wasn’t sticking around to
find out what was going to happen to him. “Dustin, you…” Julie’s eyes
were as wide as saucers. She never knew that Dustin was such a good
fighter. In the blink of an eye, he single–handedly defeated four
assassins. She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Dustin was around
to save her. On second thought, she remembered that it was because of
Dustin that she was mistaken for Dahlia. Julie’s anger blazed to life
again. “Confess to Dahlia regarding today’s incident. Remember, there is
no next time,” Dustin said with a condescending glare. “I’ll let you off
today, Rhys! However, don’t be too proud! Edwin will come after you now
that you have beaten up Ms. Hummer! You will be hounded out of Swinton!”
Julie gritted her teeth in anger. “You must be sorely mistaken. It’s not
the Hummers” who will be coming after me, but me going after them. The
Hummers‘ must issue a public apology regarding the assauli,” Dustin said
breezily “Public apology? You must have lost your mind! What right do you
have to demand an apology from the Hummer family?” Julie scoffed.
“Whatever, it’s up to you whether to belleve it or not. Dustin shrugged.
“Let’s see how long you can fake it! Hopefully, you won’t be wetting your
pants in front of Edwin Hummer!” Julie scoffed again and turned around to
leave. Chanter 13 Dustin couldn’t care less about her. He dragged the
leader of the assassins into the hospital room. “Did Edwin send you?”
“What’s it to you?” Through gritted teeth, the leader answered rudely.
“How many of you are there?” Dustin continued calmly. “The White Dragon
guild is full of skilled lighters and martial artists. Five of us were
sent to scout ahead. If you desire to live, it would be best to surrender
immediately!” The leader threatened. “Ive never heard of the White Dragon
guild.” Dustin shook his head. “That’s because you’re being ignorant! The
leader smirked. “Punk, if I were you, I would flee Swinton right now.
Otherwise, you will be sitting ducks when our guild master arrives
personally!” “Really? I’ll be waiting for him, then.” Dustin smiled. With
a loud crack, he twisted the assassin’s leader’s neck. He died on the
spot. At this moment, a group of menacing bodyguards appeared at the end
of the corridor. Stephan was leading the way! “Greetings, Mr. Rhys!”
Stephan walked up to Dustin and bowed slightly.. “Ms. Harmon ordered us
to assist you. If you need our help, just ask for it.” “Thanks for the
kind thought, Mr. Chapman.” Dustin nodded in return. “There are a few
unconscious assassins. here who have been defeated. Please dispose of
their bodies.” “No problem.” Stephan gestured to his men, and they
quickly carried the bodies off. “By the way, what do you know about the
White Dragon guild? Custin questioned. “The White Dragon guild is
regarded as one of the top three guilds in Swinton. Their guild members
are mainly ruffians and scoundrels from the underworld. They take orders
from Edwin and conduct illegal operations. Their infamous reputation
precedes them,” Stephan explained. “Oh, I see.” Dustin nodded. “The White
Dragon guild has many skilled lighters, especially the guild master.
Dracor Millroy. He is one of the best martial artists in Swinton. It is
said that his skin is impenetrable to a sword or blade as he has attained
the highest tier of martial artistry. The wise thing to do would be to
escape instead of challenging him.” Stephan wa med. 1 *Thanks for your
advice. I know what to do,” Dustin replied nonchalantly. He was curious
to see what it would be like to spar against the best martial artist in
Swinton.

Chapter 140 The night grew dark as rain poured down. The streets were
empty, as there was no one around. Just then, a fleet of black Hummer
vehicles drove in at high speed, splashing puddles of water. The vehicles
pulled up at the entrance of a hospital building. As the car doors
opened, a group of burly, muscular men got out. One of them was smoking a
cigar. He was a large and muscular man with a beard, more than six feet
tall at least a head above normal men. His arms and thighs were bulging
with muscle. “Guild master! That man is still inside, he never left.” The
last assassin pointed to one of the floors of the building. He had been
lying in wait for support to arrive as he spied on Dustin. “I expected
that you could handle this guy on your own. Why do I still have to be
personally involved?” The bearded man narrowed his eyes with displeasure.
He was the guild master of the White Dragon guild! “Guild master, don’t
underestimate that guy. He took us down as easily as dominoes!” The
assassin reported. “Alright, surround the building. The earlier we get
this settled, the earlier we can rest,” Dracor ordered impatiently. If it
weren’t for Edwin’s orders, he wouldn’t have inconvenienced himself by
coming down personally. “Stop! Who goes there!” A group of bodyguards
dressed in suits streamed out of the building. They were the Harmon
family’s men. “What, was there a group of men protecting him? Alright,
you boys can use them for practice.” Dracor motioned to his men. “Yes,
guild master!” His disciples behind him grinned evilly and rushed up to
fight the bodyguards. They were out for blood like a pack of wolves.
“Stop them!” The bodyguards were not to be outdone. They pressed forward
as one to block the guild members. The scene erupted into chaos. Although
the bodyguards were well–trained, their fighting skills weren’t on the
same level as those of the members of the White Dragon guild. After a
while, the bodyguards were forced to retreat, falling under the pressure.
“Who dares to go against the Harmon family? An aggressive roar
Interrupted the fight as Stephan emerged with a few of his comrades.
Making his way through the crowd, the guild members were repelled
backward by Stephan’s internal energy. 1/3 Chapter 140 creating a space
around him. “Oh, is he a martial artist with internal energy? How dare
you show off your tricks in front of an expert? Get out of the way!”
Dracor had a cold smile on his lips. Stephan threw fist after fist
without stopping, forcing the guild members to fall back. They were no
match for him. “Reckless bastard!” Dracor took a deep breath and released
a surge of energy in Stephan’s direction. The attack sliced through the
raindrops and zeroed in on him. Fortunately, Stephan had a keen sense of
danger. He noticed the attack coming and went into a defensive. stance.
“Boom!” An explosive sound was heard as Stephan’s defense was shattered.
He was blown backward about 30 feet away, leaving deep tracks on the
ground. Stephan was flung onto a wall like a ragdoll as he spat out a
mouthful of blood. “Weakling.” Dracor scoffed. Dracor thought that he had
finally met a worthy challenger. Unexpectedly, he couldn’t even withstand
a single blow. “Y–You, who are you?” Stephan furrowed his brows and
stared at the towering figure in front of him. Due to the darkness, he
couldn’t identify who the man was. “How dare you beat up my men if you
don’t even know who I am?” Dracor approached him menacingly. Stephan
finally recognized him when his bearded face was illuminated by the
streetlights. “You–You are Dracor Milfroy?” Stephan fixed his eyes on the
man as fear spread across his face. The nightmare he dreaded really came
true! “Since you seem to know me, we can settle this easily, Kneel down
and beg for your life. If I’m in a good mood, I might let you go.” Dracor
laughed mockingly as if he was entertained by Stephan’s fear. “Both of
you, go and tell Mr. Rhys to escape. I’ll hold them back!” Stephan
gritted his teeth and prepared himself for a fight to the death. “Yes,
Sir!” The bodyguards behind Stephan ran into the building without
hesitation. Their mission was to protect Dustin and they were prepared to
do it at the expense of their lives. “Heh, do you think you could hold me
back?” Dracor smirked. “I’ll do my best to buy him some time!” Stephan
was determined. “Don’t blame me for your death since you were the one who
asked for It! Dracor scoffed again. He flew at Stephan like a streak of
lightning. I’m going all out!” Stephan took a deep breath and faced
Dracor squarely. Both of them collided directly into each other as
another loud explosion was heard. Stephan was thrown back like he had
been hit by a truck, His body llew into the air and landed heavily on the
ground with a loud thud. Blood spurted out from his mouth and nose. He
did not even have the strength to stand up. “Don’t overestimate your
abilities!” Oracor taunted. Compared to Dracor strength, Stephan’s
internal energy and skills were feeble. “Mr. Rhys, I did my best. I hope
I have bought enough time for you to escape, Stephan muttered as he laid
in the rain, despair in his eyes. Dracor was on another level as he had
already attained the highest tier of martial arts. In addition, he had
trained his body to be as impenetrable as steel. No wonder he was deemed
the best martial artist in Swinton! Stephan knew that he was no match for
Dracor. He couldn’t even put up a good fight. “It is an honor for you to
die at my hands!” Dracor came up to Stephan and stared at him
condescendingly, like looking down on a bug. He lifted his leg to stomp
on Stephan’s chest and finish him off. At that moment, all the glass
windows of the hospital building shattered simultaneously. A dark figure
swooped down and landed heavily on the ground. The tough cement crumbled
beneath his feet and large cracks propagated from the spot where he
landed, like a spider’s web that extended for miles. “Who is it?”
Everyone had bewildered expressions on their faces.
