Because of Maximus’ appearance, the situation turned against the Langford family. While a few highly-


    skilled martial artists from the Langford family were eager to take action, they were cautious, afraid of


    hurting Luis.


    “Both of you should leave first. Leave this ce to me, Dustin,” Maximus said confidently. After the


    battle at Mount Halgue, he’d finally achieved divinity, and his skills improved tremendously.


    “Leave?” Luis sneered.


    “Where do you think you can hide? Even if you survive today, you will never escape our wrath!”


    Dustin was about to leave when he heard Luis and stopped in his tracks. Turning around, he asked


    coldly, “Are you threatening me?”


    “So what if I am?” Luisughed diabolically. He had no qualms about confronting Dustin.


    “I don’t know how you met this friend of yours, but if you think he can go up against me single-


    handedly, then you’re too naive for your own good.


    “Do you really think you’re that powerful?” Dustin questioned him.


    “Against you? Absolutely!” Luis grinned. “Not only you, but Dahlia and everyone around her will get a


    taste of our revenge! I’m going to make your lives a living hell!”


    Dahlia found herself unsettled by his words. In the end, she couldn’t avoid the very thing she dreaded


    most. When she made the decision to elope with Dustin, she put her entire family in danger. That


    burden was overwhelming for her to bear.


    “How about it? Are you scared now?” Luis was pleased with Dustin’s silence. “Rhys! If you don’t want


    to die like a chicken, get down on your knees immediately! Also, you’re going to send your woman to


    my bedside personally. Perhaps, then, I will let you live!”


    He’d just finished speaking when a resounding pnded on his cheek, and Dustin’s bright red


    handprint was clearly imprinted on his face.


    “Huh?” Luis cradled his burning face, dazed. Everyone else looked on in shock. Dustin must have truly


    gone insane to actually strike Luis in public.


    “You dare hit me?” Luis’ expression grew dark as he finally came back to his senses.


    “So what if I did? That p was for your shameless boasting!”


    As he spoke, he raised his hand andnded another vicious p on Luis’ face.


    That was for your arrogance!”


    “p!”


    “That was for threatening Dahlia!”


    “p!”


    That was for being unrepentant!


    “p!”


    ”


    Dustin pped him left and right, with every earsplitting pnding heavily on his face. The force


    turned his face bloody and swollen beyond recognition, and he lost a few teeth in between the ps.


    As the crowd took in Luis’ battered state, they were shocked into silence. They knew blood would be


    shed today. Nobody would survive when the Langfords sought revenge.


    “Y-you … You’re dead meat!”


    “Everyone rted to you will pay as well!”


    The members of the Langford family screamed one after another, their anger reaching a tipping point.


    “Dahlia, leave this ce with Maximus first. I’ll handle the rest,” Dustin said as he turned to look behind


    him.


    “What are you going to do?” Dahlia’s brows knitted. She couldn’t exin the uneasiness she felt. At


    that moment, regret washed over her as she realized the gravity of her actions. Dustin wasn’t only


    taking her away from Luis; he was also challenging death head-on!


    “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.” He smiled. “Maximus, bring her away to somewhere safe.”


    “Alright!” Maximus nodded. “Dahlia, please follow me. Dustin knows what he’s doing. He won’t be in


    any danger.”This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
