“Unbelievable!”


    “This is outrageous!”“You have the nerve to mess with the Harmon family. You must have a death wish!”The startled quests shouted and protested. Themotion drew the guards’ attention, who surrounded the area.


    Dn sneered at Dustin. “You’ve got some nerve attacking me. If your bodyguard was here, you might have a chance. But going up against me alone is just asking for death!”


    Despite his previous loss to Cornelius, Dn remained confident in defeating Dustin. Among his peers, he believed only Tyler could pose a challenge.


    “Kid, today marks my ascent as the Patriarch. I don’t want bloodshed, so surrender now,” Trent shouted at Dustin.


    He knew Dustin’s skills and gangs, but it was nothingpared to the Harmon family’s forces. Besides, he had the support of the Grants.


    “Dn’s life ends today, and anyone who intervenes will die too!” Dustin proimed.


    “How dare you!”


    Trent barked at his guards, “Grab him!”


    “Wait!” Dn stepped forward.


    “Uncle Trent, allow me to handle him myself.”


    “Yes, Trent. Let them settle their score,” Jacob chimed in.


    Trent understood that ganging up on Dustin would make them look like bullies. So, he agreed to at


    one-on-one duel, which would attract less attention even if Dustin died


    “Alright, he’s all yours,” Trent said, giving Dn a reassuring pat on the shoulder.


    “Uncle Trent, just watch as I defeat him”


    Then Dn taunted Dustin, “Rhys, do you have the courage for a life-or-death fight?”


    “What’s there to fear? You’re going to die anyway,” Dustin retortedN?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    “Perfect! Everyone heard it, night? He agreed to a life-or-death duel If he dies, I’m not taking responsibility Dn proimed for everyone to hear


    “Is he crazy? Challenging Dn one-on-one!”


    “Dn’s a divine master and a high-rankingmander in the Dark Panther Cavalry. He’s a master of deadly techniques. This kid won’tst three seconds.” (2)


    “He’s getting what he asked for by messing with the Harmon family!”


    The crowd whispered among themselves about Dustin as if he were already doomed.


    “Ha! A poor nobody trying to take on a genius like Dn? Dream on!” Leah scoffed.


    “He’s risking his life just to show off. What a fool!” Quinton showed his disdain.


    “Ignorant fool!” Livia shook her head.


    To them, Dustin’s actions were suicidal.


    Dn taunted, “Rhys,e at me, and let’s see what you’re made of.”


    Dustin stepped forward and threw an ordinary punch.


    “Is that it?” Dn chuckled and raised his finger to stop his punch, eager to win and earn the crowd’s praise.


    When Dn’s finger met Dustin’s fist, a sickening crunch of Dn’s finger bones breaking was


    heard. Then, his arm snapped, and his body mmed into the wall.


    He was knocked unconscious, with blood flowing from his mouth and nose.


    The room fell quiet.
