    A sharp knife pierced through Hector’s body, with its tip protruding from his chest. It caused the blood to flow along its edge.


    “Ugh…”


    Hector trembled, and his face froze as he instinctively looked down. He watched as blood slowly oozed from the knife lodged in his chest.


    “Huh?”This sudden turn of events shocked everyone. No one had expected d tounch such a sudden and deadly attack.Onlookers had expected a stalemate, but now it was clear that d had gone too far.


    “Mr. Harmon?” Even Dustin was surprised. He had not expected d to stab Hector. Just moments earlier, the man was held hostage.


    “Dus… Dustin… Take care… my daughter… from now on…” Hector struggled to say the words before his head sank down, and he took hisst breath.


    “His suffering hase to an end,” Kate said coldly, showing no emotion.


    “Hector…”


    In the crowd, Trent wore a pained expression. They were brothers who grew up together and carried on the family legacy regardless of the situation.


    Hector’s death was a heavy blow. Even so, Trent held himself back. After all, offending the murderer was out of the question.


    “You old bastard! Die!” d grinned wickedly as he pulled out the bloodied knife and kicked Hector’s lifeless body with all his might.


    Hector’s body was flung high into the air andnded right at Dustin’s feet.


    “Mr… Mr. Harmon?”


    Dustin bent down to check Hector’s pulse, but his fingers were trembling.It was toote. Hector had suffered severe injuries, and his life was slipping away fast.He had suffered a fatal blow. There wasno hope of saving him.


    “Hey, brat! You didn’t expect that, did you? That’s what you get for offending me!” d rejoiced in his victory.


    He continued, “And let me tell you something. Not only will I kill your friends and family, but I’ll rape your woman before your eyes! I’ll torture her and make her beg for death!


    “How does that make you feel? Angry? Do you want to kill me? Too bad youwon’t have the chance.


    “Since you freed me, your fate is sealed! Of course, I won’t let you die so easily.“I’ll subject you to all kinds of torture, humiliate you and make you beg for life and death! That’s the price you’ll pay for crossing me!”


    At the end of his tirade, d burst into maniacalughter. A mere martial artist from the martial world had dared to challenge him? It was like a mouse challenging an elephant.


    “d. Grant!” Dustin stood up, his words measured but filled with fiery determination, his eyes ame with anger. His hair was tousled, and his face flushed with intense emotion.


    Dustin’s sudden burst of anger left everyone feeling a deep sense of impending dread. It was as if an overwhelming sense of doom hung inthe air.


    “d! I’m going to kill you!” Dustin roared uncontrobly and charged like a wild beast.


    “Quick! Shoot now!”
