"What did you say?" Dahlia frowned at him."Was it not clear enough? I shall repeat myself then." The smile disappeared from Edwin's face. "I will only spare one person. Either that old woman or Dustin. Now, it's your turn to decide who's living and who's dying.""Dahlia! Just let Dustin go! It's your chance to redeem yourself!" Dakota started yelling."Right! If you save me today, I will forgive your wrongs and even help you secure the chairman position!" Gloria dangled a promise as well. She lost her mind at that moment because of Edwin's mercilessness. He could not be reasoned with, and he would take any life without hesitation. She still had a lot to live for and refused to be sacrificed."Edwin Hummer! We do not have grudges against you! Why do you have to come after us?" Dahlia frowned deeply."You don't?" Edwin laughed maniacally, throwing his head back. "Oh, Dahlia Nicholson, why don't you ask the people around you about the grudges between us?"After Edwin's son and daug

To Tarragon, the fact that Edwin assembled the best to take down an average man like Dustin, was rather puzzling."After all the hoo-ha, it turns out that their target is Dustin! Thank God." Dakota let out a sigh of relief in secret. There was a saying: the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since Edwin shared the same goal as the Nicholsons in wanting to get rid of Dustin, she believed they should not be stuck in a confrontation."Evil defeats evil. Dustin Rhys, you'll be dead today!" Gloria chuckled gleefully. She had heard of the Bounty League and understood the severity of having a gold-tier assassin here. A humble doctor like Dustin would never defend himself against one."You really splurged to get me killed." Dustin shook his head, appearing fearless at the threat."I'm willing to give up my family fortune as long as I get my revenge." Edwin sniggered."I'm afraid you'll be disappointed today. This bunch can't kill me," Dustin replied."Can't they? Wow, you jerk. Look at you,
An Understated Dominance Chapter 396
The Nicholsons stared at the three gold-tier assassins before shirting their gazes at the expressionless Dustin with great alarm. No one had anticipated Dustin to be so powerful. If they had not witnessed the scene with their eyes, they would have laughed at the idea of a good-for-nothing person being talented in martial arts."Is there something wrong with my eyes? When did the trash become a hero?" James widened his eyes in disbelief. His impression of Dustin was that he was a kept man who only learned a few useless martial arts tricks that were no match for the top assassins. However, Dustin's performance shattered James' preconception. He was shocked to learn that his ex-brother-in-law was a martial arts expert."Heavens! Is that really Dustin?" Florence was equally astonished. Even though she was clueless about the gold-tier assassins from the Bounty League, she was aware of the capabilities of Tarragon and Cougar. Logically, Dustin beat Hillcrest in terms of expertise, which wo

"Now! Kneel down immediately!" Edwin bellowed at Dustin. Dustin narrowed his eyes. "What if I don't?""No? Then I'll take it out on her!" Edwin grabbed Gloria and pointed the gun at her temple. Knowing that Dustin was powerful, he needed to get himself a human shield."Edwin Hummer! You'd better be careful! That's Madam Gloria from the Nicholson Family!" Dustin's expression sank."Oh, she's your Madam Gloria? Sounds like you care a lot about her, don't you?" Edwin chuckled. "Listen to what I say if you don't want her to die!""Dustin! What are you standing there for? Quick! Kneel!" Dakota urged him frantically. "You punk! Kneel! Do you want me dead?" Gloria's face paled."Madam Gloria, please be patient. I'll save you real soon." Dustin faked an angry expression and challenged Edwin, "Edwin Hummer, just come at me! If you lay a finger on her, I won't let this slip!""Oh, you don't know what it means to be desperate." Enraged, Edwin shot Gloria in one of her knees. She yelped

Dakota grunted as her body trembled and came to a stop, just like her voice that died down. The darkness within the muzzle and Edwin's cruel face started blurring as she lost consciousness. Finally, she collapsed flatly onto the ground with a thud. Everything happened too fast, and she had not expected herself to die in such a manner. "I-is she dead?" Florence and the rest of the people were shaking in fear when they stared at Gloria and Dakota's bodies. It felt so surreal to see the two arrogant ladies killed. Meanwhile, Dustin glanced at the scene without much emotion. Evil defeats evil. Dakota and Gloria had always been impudent bullies who did not reflect on their actions even after being taught a lesson. Not only that, they came to him to seek revenge. Their deaths meant nothing to him, partly because he was never a merciful person to start with. He saw no issue with getting rid of the trouble by pulling some tricks. "Hah! How does that feel? Are you feeling the rage and pai

Two shots were fired, but the bullets came to a halt one inch before Dustin's body. A protective energy sphere crystallized in the air, forming a shield against the bullet. "What?" Edwin's pupils wavered in shock. He was mentally prepared for Dustin's prowess but was greatly taken aback at how Dustin stopped the bullets in the air. "Did you believe that you could hurt me with bullets?" Dustin shook his head. "If I can't hurt you with a gun, I'll die with you!" Suddenly, Edwin pulled out the remote control for the bomb and laughed deliriously. "Dustin Rhys, see you in hell!" With that, he pressed the button on the control. …Meanwhile, Dahlia was on the run with James. They were some distance away from the villa before hearing the two gunshots. They spun around and realized that Dustin had not followed after them. "Dustin?" Losing her composure, Dahlia frantically clambered toward the villa. "Hey! Why are you turning back? Do you want to die?" Florence quickly pulled her

Dustin felt the softness in his arms and the familiar scent tingling his nose. He broke into a smile. He could tell from her uncontrolled crying that she cared greatly about him. "Okay, now. Stop crying. Your tears are wetting this new shirt I bought two days ago." After some hugging, Dustin finally opened his mouth. "What's the big deal? I'll just pay for the shirt." She let go of him and didn't forget to give him a pinch in the waist, sending him grimacing in pain. "And what was that just now? Why didn't you escape sooner?" she confronted him. "He's a ticking time bomb—no pun intended. Of course, I had to subdue him before I left," he answered matter-of-factly. "I know you're great at fighting, but you have to care about your safety. He had bombs strapped on his body. What if he got you killed in an explosion?" she protested. He grinned and replied, "But I'm all well." "It's all because of your dumb luck. You'd better not push your luck the next time!" she warned him. "

"Hmph!" Dahlia refused to talk to him. Before leaving, she made sure to stomp hard on his foot. Thus, the brutal and unfortunate episode came to an end. The authorities arrived soon after the explosion. The fire brigade helped to clear the scene and put out the fire. At the end of the day, the authorities publicly announced the cause of the explosion, blaming it on a gas explosion. …Three days went by in the blink of an eye. During this time, Dahlia and her family returned to the Nicholson family home to keep Henry Nicholson company. The Glenstead Nicholsons, meanwhile, sent a team to investigate Gloria and Dakota's deaths, but after learning that the murderer, Edwin Hummer, had died in a suicide bombing, they had no choice but to close the case. Notably, Regulus Nicholson made the decision to confirm Dahlia's role as the chairman of the Cardinal Group. It was only time before she was officially acting in the chairman's capacity. During the three days, Dustin received surpr
