“Natasha, you haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Come on, I’ll treat you to dinner.” Dustin did not


    answer her and changed the topic instead.


    “Now that you mention it, I am feeling a bit hungry. Father, shall we go grab a bite?” Natasha turned


    around to ask Rufus.


    “Don’t worry about them. We’ll go get dinner, just the two of us,” Dustin insisted.


    “Well…” Natasha paused. She could sense that something was off between the two.


    “Natasha, go ahead and enjoy your meal together. We, old folks, won’t tag along and ruin your fun. Run


    along now.” Rufus smiled and nodded at her.


    “Alright, Father. We’ll be quick and buy some food back for you.” Natasha did not try to pry further. After


    she made sure they were alright, she left with Dustin.


    All was quiet in the car before Natasha broke the silence. “Your father… Did you have a fallout with


    him?”


    “A fallout?” Dustinughed dryly. “If only it was that simple, things would be much easier.”


    “So then what is it? Can you tell me?” Natasha coaxed softly. She had never seen such a mncholy


    expression on Dustin.


    “Say, if a man’s wife and son were harmed, and he did absolutely nothing about it, do you even still


    consider him a man?” Dustin did not straight up tell Natasha what had happened between him and his


    father, but he threw her a hypothetical situation instead.


    “Well, could it be possible that the man had his dilemmas too?” Natasha asked warily.


    “As long as he puts his mind to it, there isn’t anything that he can’t do. Dilemmas? They’re just


    excuses.” Dustin shook his head.


    “As I have not experienced what you’ve been through, I’m not in a position to offer you any advice.


    However, I do believe that one day, all truths wille to light.”


    “Forget it. Let’s not talk about this anymore. Where do you want to have dinner tonight?” Dustin


    changed the topic yet again.


    “Shall we go to Hillview Restaurant?” Natasha suggested with a smile.


    “Sure!” Dustin nodded. Then, with a step on the elerator, they sped off towards Hillview Restaurant.


    As the car went around a bend, there was suddenly a loud bang. They seemed to have hit something.


    “Oh no! We’ve run someone over!” Natasha paled. She saw clearly through the rearview mirror that an


    olddy was groaning in pain in the middle of the road.


    “Are you alright, ma’am?” The moment Dustin pulled the car over, Natasha rushed out of the car and


    hurried over to check on the olddy. But just as her hand touched the olddy’s shoulder, the olddy


    leaped up and pulled out a dirk, intending to stab Natasha with it.


    Utterly shocked by the turn of events, Natasha failed to duck in time. Just as she thought that would be


    the end of her, a hand reached over and grabbed the de of the dirk. With a forceful jerk, the dirk


    snapped into two.


    “Who sent you?” Dustin stared icily at the olddy, chucking the de away as it ttered to the


    ground.


    “You have a bounty of a hundred billion on your head, and she has ten billion on hers. What a waste! I


    was just inches away from having ten billion dors in my pocket.” The olddy cackled maniacally,


    showing off her yellow teeth.


    “A Bounty Killer.” Dustin squinted. Edwin Hummer had offered a bounty of a hundred billion dors to


    have Dustin killed. Though they had put an end to the Hummers, Edwin Hummer was still alive, so the


    bounty had yet to be called off.


    The olddy sniggered evilly. “Since you know that I’m a Bounty Killer, then you should understand that


    today is the day you meet your maker!”


    “You wish to kill us? Just you alone?” Dustin asked contemptuously.


    “There’s such a huge bounty for you! Of course, I’m not the only one after you! Look around you!” The


    olddy lifted her chin to the side.

    Dustin looked in the direction she signaled to find that they had been surrounded. He could see that


    eight figures were closing in on them. Though there weren’t many of them, they were all adept


    assassins.


    “I know you’re gifted, young man, so I deliberately sent for the Eight Giants today. Skilled as you may


    be, you stand no chance against them! The more you struggle, the more suffering you’ll put yourself


    through, so don’t even think about escaping,” the olddy taunted.


    “The Eight Giants? Are they powerful?” Dustin was unfazed.


    “Hah! Are they powerful? Truth be told, young man, once the Eight Giants have their eyes set on


    someone, not a single one of their targets has ever escaped alive!” She announced confidently.


    The moment she finished speaking, Dustin flicked his wrist, and a loud whooshing sound was heard.


    Immediately, the Eight Giants stopped in their tracks and crashed heavily to the ground. On closer


    inspection, there was a silver needle buried smack in the middle of each of their foreheads.


    All eight of them died right then and there.
