Dahlia Nicholson and Dustin Rhys

Chapter 96

Duane was still smiling confidently at the start of the battle.

But it was not long before he noticed something was very wrong. Dustin was much stronger than he ha d expected. He could feel terrifying surges of energy rushing at him like waves in the

ocean. They made the bones in his hand tremble. They would break any minute!

Duane’s expression darkened, and he couldn’t take it anymore. He threw a hard punch at Dustin, trying

to

make him fall back. However, Dustin did not dodge and faced it head–on instead.

Their fists collided, and Duane’s chair was smashed into pieces! The force of the punch shoved Duane

backward until he hit the wall to catch his balance.

Even so, Dustin remained seated calmly. They both knew who was more powerful!

“Damn! I never knew you had tricks up your sleeve. I underestimated you!” Duane’s eyes narrowed as

a

complex mix of expressions clouded his face. With how young Dustin was, Duane had never expected

him to be so powerful. Considering how young he was, he never expected Dustin to be so powerful. Ju

st one punch

had thrown him off his feet.

Although strength couldn’t completely represent his fighting skills, it was enough to prove his physical

strength.

“Thanks for the

Panax root, Duane.” Dustin didn’t waste any time. He picked up the box and got up to leave.

Duane was already on his blacklist for being untrustworthy. This was the last time they would

do business

together.

*Sir Anderson, do you want me to send some men after him to get it back?” asked the Cobra hesitantly.

He could tell that Duane and Dustin weren’t actually friends. If so, he had nothing to fear anymore.

“He is quite strong. I’m afraid your men won’t be able to take him on.” Duane cautiously moved his num

b arm.

“Are… are you going to let him go just like that?” The Cobra was a little disgruntled. After losing face ea

rlier, he was eager to redeem it.

“Let him go? Hmph. Not so easily!”

Duane laughed

coldly. “I’ll get my hands on the Gemiphen formula. Just wait and see. I have many ways to

make him surrender to me!”

Meanwhile, outside the bar, Lyra arrived with the company’s bodyguards. When she saw that Dahlia an

d the others were safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.

“Ms. Nicholson, is everything resolved?”

“I guess you could say that.” Dahlia nodded.

“I heard this is the Cobra’s turf and thought there might be trouble. I didn’t think it would be so easy. I’m

sure Mr. Laney is to thank for this?” Lyra smiled.

The suggestion caused Matt’s expression to sour immediately. This woman just had to annoy him!

“Hmm? Why is he here?” Lyra wondered as she spotted Dustin leaving the bar. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

He questioned, “What are you guys still doing here? Waiting for

someone to take revenge on you? I don’t have the energy to save you again.” He spoke with a calm voi

ce, grasping the wooden box in his hand.

“Who needs saving? You’re so nosy!” Florence snapped rudely.

“Hpmh! Stop showing off. If it wasn’t for Ms. Harmon, could you have walked out of there alive?” James

mocked brashly.

“That’s enough!” Dahlia waved her hands to stop their bickering. She turned to Dustin and said, “Dustin

.

thanks for saving us, but I don’t condone your behavior.”

“Oh? Do you have any advice, Ms. Nicholson?” Dustin cocked an eyebrow.

“You’re too impulsive! You don’t think before you act. Did you ever consider the consequences your act

ions

might bring?” Dahlia asked.

“I don’t know what consequences my actions would have caused, but I’m certain that your brother’s ha

nds

would have been chopped off,” Dustin retorted matter–of–factly.
