While Dustin froze, Natasha blushed. “This… this is too sudden. I’m not prepared for it!” She followed


    that up by asking, “Have you chosen a date? When are we getting married?”


    “Hey, you thought I was for real? You should be embarrassed!” Hector red at her.


    Natasha pouted. “You said it yourself. Why are you yelling at me instead?”


    “Alright, it’s time to get serious.” Hector’s smile gradually disappeared. “Even though we overcame the


    situation for now, this matter is far from over. With Tyler’s personality, he will not take this sitting down.”


    “Will Tyler still act recklessly with Lord Xenos and $ir Paul behind us?” Natasha raised an


    eyebrow.


    “Tyler might not confront us directly, but he will definitely act behind the scenes.” Hector was solemn as


    he continued, “Lord Xenos and Sir Paul have also repaid their favor. They won’t help us a second time.


    We can only face him ourselves now.”


    “Does that mean trouble will continue brewing for us?” Natasha looked pensive.


    “There will be trouble, but the most important thing is Dustin’s safety.” Hector turned his attention


    toward Dustin and warned him, “Tyler is an unsympathetic and prideful man. Whether it was your


    involvement in Ja’s death or your public confrontation with him, they were all unforgivable acts for


    him. You will be in danger going forward.”


    “Thank you for the warning, Uncle Hector. I will take note.” Dustin nodded. He knew Tyler woulde


    after him to get revenge. But as long as Natasha was safe, there was nothing he feared.


    “During this period, I’ll deploy team one of our shadow guards to protect you. That should lessen some


    of your troubles.” Hector dered.


    “Team one? They’re your personal bodyguards, aren’t they?” Natasha was astonished. The Harmons


    had six shadow guard teams. Team one was the most skilled, with a divine–level martial artist leading


    them. They were considered the Harmon family’s trump card. However, since team one’s responsibility


    was specifically to oversee the patriarch’s safety, they weren’t deployed


    easily.


    Hector responded, “I don’t need them for now. Let them protect Dustin.”


    “Uncle Harmon, actually, I don’t need protecting,” Dustin tried to decline.


    “There are times when we slip up. With team one protecting you, they will act as an extra precaution to


    ensure your safety. Consider this our sincere gift to you. Don’t refuse it.” Hector was

    serious.


    Natasha nodded in agreement. “My dad is right. Your safetyes first.”


    “Alright…” Since Hector had put it that way, there was no reason for Dustin to refuse any longer.


    Even though he wasn’t afraid of Tyler, it would affect him slightly if Tyler decided to assassinate him. At


    least he could avoid unnecessary trouble with the shadow guards keeping watch on him.


    In the meantime, inside the Grant family mansion, Roger was seated on the sofa, appearing pensive.


    “Tyler, The Harmons have Lord Xenos backing them now. It won’t be easy to target them.”


    “Even though we can’t touch them publicly, no one said anything about acting in the dark.” Tyler stood


    with his hands behind his back. His gaze was unusually cold as he stared at a bird perched. on a tree


    outside the window.


    ? What


    “Oh? What are your ns?” Roger was curious.


    “I have a few friends in the martial arts world. I’m going to get them to act and create chaos within the


    Harmon family!” Tyler spat out coldly.


    “But, that’s Paul’s territory … ” Roger was at a loss for words. Paul was highly influential as a


    martial arts master.


    “Hmph! He’s just an old man nearing death. While his words hold a certain weight, it won’t be enough


    to stop me!” Tyler had a look of arrogance.


    “It seems like you have everything arranged. Is there anything I can help you with?” Roger asked


    cautiously.


    “Just keep an eye on George’s movements for me. As long as he doesn’t enter the picture, I will y


    with the Harmons as I please!” Tyler clenched his fist. ·


    “No problem. Leave it to me,” Roger vouched as he patted his chest. He wasn’t brave enough to


    challenge Lord Xenos. However, it would be nothing if he just had to monitor his movements.


    After sending Roger off, Tyler suddenly turned around and faced a corner. “That Dustin brat irritated me


    today. I asked you to kill him thest time, but I changed my mind. I want him to go. through a living


    hell!”


    “Right away!” A shadow disappeared from the corner.
