Chapter 191
Dustin held the final bullet delicately between his fingers. His eyes shone with a mocking glint as he gazed at the three trembling people before him. “So,” he said in a calm and icy voice, “who do you think deserves this one?” The three of them were paralyzed with fear. They trembled like leaves in the wind. Dustin casually pointed his finger toward Phoebe. She immediately fell to the floor. “It’s him! He’s the one who planned it all! I was just manipulated into following along!” Phoebe screamed and pointed an accusing finger at Aaron. “You—!” Aaron’s eyes widened in rage and disbelief. “It was her! It was all her idea! She planned everything!” he screeched. The two began to hurl insults at one another. In moments of life and death, human nature revealed itself. By the looks of it, it was nothing but a vicious display of mutual betrayal. Dustin shifted his aim toward Pete. Overwhelmed by terror, the man immediately dropped to his knees and bowed before Dustin. “

The leader of the Panther Gang was an individual of fearsome standing and influence… Yet he had arrived at a single phone call from Dustin. The implications of this were far too terrifying. “Mr. Fox, what are your orders for me?” asked Blake as he bowed respectfully. This scene left the three people frozen in shock. Their hearts pounded in their chests. Who was this man? What kind of person could command such respect from someone like the leader of the Panther Gang? Even a fool could see that Dustin was someone to be feared. Aaron and Phoebe almost passed out from sheer terror, especially Phoebe. She could not wrap her head around how Irene had found herself a date like him. First, he demonstrated world-class dance skills. Then, he casually pulled out a Verdigris Emerald the size of a goose egg. Next thing you know, with a single phone call, he had summoned the leader of the Panther Gang to act at his command… Did someone like this even exist in Lannopolis? “Bla
Chapter 193
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. It was the last day of the deadline Dustin had given Bianca. “My Liege, we have located your father’s remains,” said a Hell Guard in the West family villa. “Take me there.” Dustin immediately moved out after receiving the news. Half an hour later, he met with a disheveled old man. “Back in the day, when the Fox family was destroyed, your adoptive father arrived too late. He was the one who collected your father’s body and buried it. He buried the remains somewhere no one could find. He found someone and paid him handsomely to keep vigil at your father’s grave… ” said the Hell Guard slowly. “However, after the patriarch of the Wyatt family passed, no one went to maintain the grave plot. The gravekeeper also started to stray from his post. Weeds grew rampant around the grave. Not long ago, Bianca Winter visited the gravekeeper and bought him off. The gravekeeper exhumed your father’s remains and gave his skull to her. The rest of

Dustin got up from the chair. His gaze was icy. Bianca’s face darkened. She was displeased. “Don’t you know the trouble you’re in? You really want to die?” she asked icily. Then, she looked at one of her underlings. “Go. Beat some sense into him.” The fighter then walked toward Dustin and was ready to make his move. Dustin impatiently waved his hand. The fighter clutched his neck, which was suddenly bleeding, and he collapsed on the floor. Bianca’s face turned as white as a sheet. “That’s impossible! How can you still kill?” Her eyes widened in shock. Logically, a fighter poisoned with the Decina Neutralizing Fragrance would not even have the strength to move, let alone kill. Besides, the Winter family’s fighter that she had sent to attack Dustin was not weak. He was a seventh grade fighter. Yet, Dustin had killed him with just one move. It looked like it had not even taken much effort. Bianca could not understand how Dustin had done it. “Could it be… you

When Dustin looked at the person, his gaze grew serious. “Irene!” His eyes narrowed. The person Bianca had brought here was Irene West. She was tightly bound in thick ropes, and two people held knives to her throat. They forced her to move forward. Irene was bruised all over. It was clear that she had been manhandled. “Dustin, I’m sorry. I drove to the school this morning to collect some documents, and they got me halfway there…” Irene said guiltily. She thought that she had got Dustin into trouble by getting herself caught. Dustin’s face darkened. He had never expected Bianca to make a move against Irene. After all, he was not really very close to Irene. If Bianca wanted to blackmail him, she should have abducted a member of the Langley family. However, Dustin had already arranged for his Hell Guards to protect the Langley family. There was no way Bianca could have succeeded in getting one of them. “What’s the point of this?” Dustin asked with a fr
Chapter 196
Irene’s body went limp, and Dustin caught her. He loosened her bindings. Looking at the vicious cut on Irene’s face, Dustin’s heart ached. If he was right, Irene’s face was ruined forever. For a beautiful woman, it took great courage and determination to go as far as to disfigure herself… But to avoid being a burden on him, Irene had made that choice without hesitation. She had been willing to die. Dustin did not know why she would do something like that. Was she that loyal because she was from the West family? Or was it because she was grateful that Dustin had helped her in her time of need? Whatever the reason, Dustin was moved by her actions. “Why are you so foolish?” Dustin asked as he held her. “Because… I didn’t want to burden you…” Irene said weakly. Dustin was speechless. Beside them, Bianca’s expression shifted several times before she gathered herself and took a few steps back. She quietly sneaked out of the house. She no longer had any trump card
Chapter 197
Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared before Bianca’s eyes. In the next moment, Bianca felt her world spin, and everything turned black. With a thud, her head rolled on the ground. The last thing Bianca saw before she died was the retreating silhouette of a Hell Guard as he sheathed his knife. She never imagined that she would lose her life while seeking revenge for her cousins. Dustin returned to the small house. Irene was quietly waiting in the chair he had left her. “You’re back…” Irene smiled when she saw Dustin. Her voice was gentle. Dustin leaned down and caressed her face. “Don’t worry. Give me three days, and I’ll make sure your face heals perfectly,” he said reassuringly. “I believe you,” said Irene with a smile. Dustin had managed to bring her grandfather back to life. How hard would it be to get rid of a scar? “I’m sorry. You wouldn’t have gone through all this if it weren’t for me,” Dustin said apologetically. After all, it was his ov
Chapter 198
In the living room of the Wyatt family villa in Rivenesco were Amara and Elisa. Sitting opposite them was their aunt, Margaret. Elisa kept trying to call Bianca, but she did not answer. “She’s still not answering…” Elisa sighed. She had no choice but to give up. “Could something have happened to Bianca?” she asked worriedly. “Bianca’s smart. She usually has several backup plans. I’m sure she won’t be in too much trouble,” Margaret said confidently. “Dustin is just someone the Wyatt family kicked out. He doesn’t have what it takes to force Bianca into a corner. Let me contact the Winter family. They should be able to find something out.” Margaret contacted the Winter family right after. “Miss Bianca asked for some of the family’s fighters. But we’re unable to contact her at this time,” said someone from the other end. Margaret’s face darkened. “How long ago was that?” she asked. “She has not contacted us since 3 p.m. yesterday.” Margaret, Amara, and Elisa’s
