“Vivian, what are you talking about? Dustin saved us!” She was dumbfounded.


    “She, don’t be fooled by him. This guy has ulterior motives!”


    Vivian smugly exined, “He was the one who poisoned our drinks! He made a show of leaving before


    returning at a critical moment to y the hero.


    “He did all that to earn our trust! But these tricks won’t fool me!”


    Vivian’s exnation cast a shadow of doubt in everyone’s minds. What she said did seem possible


    After all, they would rather trust Vivian than a stranger.


    “Hey, are you that full of yourself? I’m not that desperate for entertainment to y these petty games


    with you,” Dustin replied coldly.


    He had been kind enough to help them, but he didn’t expect this woman to be so ungrateful!


    “Hmph! You still won’t admit it? Fine!” Vivian said.


    She continued, “Then let me ask you. How did you just so happen to bump into that waiter and, just so


    happen to pick up this vial of poison?


    “Don’t tell me these are all just coincidences.” Vivian’s expression grew dark.


    “You guessed it right. It was a coincidence.” Dustin nodded.


    “Hah, did everyone hear that? This guy can’t even find another excuse. He’s already shown his


    true colors,” Vivian sneered.


    “Other than that, the biggest giveaway is your silver needle. Who in their right mind would carry : silver


    needle with them outside? It’s clear that you had nned this!”


    As she spoke, realization hit the crowd.


    “That’s right! How could such a convenient coincidence happen? This brat is definitely suspiciou


    “After all that, it turns out that he was the one who poisoned us. I can’t believe I thought of him a our


    savior. It’s true that we can’t judge a book by its cover!”


    “Thank God Vivian was smart. Otherwise, we would have all been fooled!”


    “That bastard dared to y such tricks with us? He must be seeking death!”


    At that moment, everyone looked at Dustin with hostility. The initial gratitude they felt had no turned into


    anger and resentment.


    “Dustin, you didn’t expect me to see through you so quickly, did you? Do you have anything left


    say?”


    Vivian crossed her arms, looking proud of herself. It was as though she had cracked an importa


    case.


    “How ignorant.” Dustin shook his head.

    Dustin turned around to leave. He didn’t want to waste his time with them any longer.


    “Hold on” Vivian stood in his way and raised her voice


    “You poisoned us Did you think you could just walk away like nothing happened? Did you think we


    would let you go easily?”


    “Brat‘ Get down on your knees and surrender immediately, or don’t me us for being ruthless“”


    Several of them started moring. Their gazes were hostile, like they were ready to attack at any


    moment.


    “What’s this? You’re going to repay kindness with violence?”


    Dustin nced around, his gaze turning cold. If they wanted to start a fight, he wouldn’t mind giving


    them a lesson.


    “Dustin, you can’t afford to offend us!” Vivian threatened him.


    “I’m giving you a chance. Apologize immediately and admit to your crimes. That way, you might just be


    able to live.”


    “Idiot,” Dustin spat out coldly.


    “What?” Vivian’s expression turned dark.


    “How dare you insult me? You’re asking for it! Catch him!”


    “Right away!” A few of them answered and were ready to start a fight.
