"What?" Julie's mind went blank when a pair of swords
were held at her neck. She was unable to process what was happening. From
the assassins' forced entry to Dustin framing her, everything happened
too quickly. When she finally regained her composure, she was already in
danger. "Rhys! How could you do this to me!" Seeing as she was about to
be held hostage, Julie panicked. "Wait, it's a mistake! I'm not Dahlia,
you've got the wrong person!" "Do you think we are stupid? This man told
us you are Dahlia Nicholson!" The assassins' leader retorted. "He's
spouting nonsense! Don't believe him!" Julie said, cold sweat running
down her forehead. She never expected Dustin to exact his revenge on her
in such a despicable manner! "According to our intel, Dahlia is in this
hospital room. If you aren't Dahlia; why would you be here?" The leader
demanded fiercely. "I–I was just passing by-!" Julie stammered. "Fuck!
How dare you lie to me? You must be tired of living!" Julie was violently
slapped on the cheek by the leader, making her ears ring. "What are all
of you doing? Take her away!" He ordered. Some of his men immediately
dragged Julie towards the door. "It's not me! It's really not me! Rhys,
you asshole, you framed me! Are you even human?" Julle burst into tears
and wailed loudly. She knew that if she were to be taken away, she would
definitely suffer inhumane abuse. "Dustin! I'm sorry! Please save me, I'm
begging you! I've learned my lesson! On account of Dahlia and Old Mr.
Nicholson, you can't sit back and do nothing! You have to save mel" Julle
broke down and apologized profusely. At this moment, only Dustin could
save her. "Shut the hell up, you bitch!" Julie's cries for help got on
the nerves of the assassin leader. He gave her a few more slaps on the
face. Julie staggered and fell to the ground, blood flowing from her
lips. When Dustin felt that Julle had been punished enough, he spoke up,
saying, "Guys, I'm sorry for the confusion. I've made a mistake, she is
not Dahlia." "What did you say?" When they heard this, the assassins
froze. *Punk! How dare you trick me?" The leader narrowed his eyes
threateningly. Chapter 139 "I guess you could say that." Dustin nodded.
"You bastard!" The leader was furious. He rushed towards Dustin with his
heavy blade and swung it using his full strength. By the agility and
power of his movements, the leader was obviously a martial artist. His
skills were far superior to those of a normal person. However, Dustin did
not dodge. He blocked the attack with his bare hands and landed a kick on
his opponent's abdomen. The leader screamed in agony as he flew out the
door. "How dare you hurt our leader? You are dead meat!" The other three
assassins threw Julie aside as they turned to attack Dustin
simultaneously. However, before they could get close enough, Dustin gave
all three of them a flying kick and knocked their heads together. Without
another word, they fainted on impact. "Fuck, who is this monster?" The
last assassin, who was guarding the door, saw what happened to his
teammates. Fearful for his life, he ran away as fast as his legs could
take him. Four of his friends were dead. He wasn't sticking around to
find out what was going to happen to him. "Dustin, you…" Julie's eyes
were as wide as saucers. She never knew that Dustin was such a good
fighter. In the blink of an eye, he single–handedly defeated four
assassins. She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Dustin was around
to save her. On second thought, she remembered that it was because of
Dustin that she was mistaken for Dahlia. Julie's anger blazed to life
again. "Confess to Dahlia regarding today's incident. Remember, there is
no next time," Dustin said with a condescending glare. "I'll let you off
today, Rhys! However, don't be too proud! Edwin will come after you now
that you have beaten up Ms. Hummer! You will be hounded out of Swinton!"
Julie gritted her teeth in anger. "You must be sorely mistaken. It's not
the Hummers" who will be coming after me, but me going after them. The
Hummers' must issue a public apology regarding the assauli," Dustin said
breezily "Public apology? You must have lost your mind! What right do you
have to demand an apology from the Hummer family?" Julie scoffed.
"Whatever, it's up to you whether to belleve it or not. Dustin shrugged.
"Let's see how long you can fake it! Hopefully, you won't be wetting your
pants in front of Edwin Hummer!" Julie scoffed again and turned around to
leave. Chanter 13 Dustin couldn't care less about her. He dragged the
leader of the assassins into the hospital room. "Did Edwin send you?"
"What's it to you?" Through gritted teeth, the leader answered rudely.
"How many of you are there?" Dustin continued calmly. "The White Dragon
guild is full of skilled lighters and martial artists. Five of us were
sent to scout ahead. If you desire to live, it would be best to surrender
immediately!" The leader threatened. "Ive never heard of the White Dragon
guild." Dustin shook his head. "That's because you're being ignorant! The
leader smirked. "Punk, if I were you, I would flee Swinton right now.
Otherwise, you will be sitting ducks when our guild master arrives
personally!" "Really? I'll be waiting for him, then." Dustin smiled. With
a loud crack, he twisted the assassin's leader's neck. He died on the
spot. At this moment, a group of menacing bodyguards appeared at the end
of the corridor. Stephan was leading the way! "Greetings, Mr. Rhys!"
Stephan walked up to Dustin and bowed slightly.. "Ms. Harmon ordered us
to assist you. If you need our help, just ask for it." "Thanks for the
kind thought, Mr. Chapman." Dustin nodded in return. "There are a few
unconscious assassins. here who have been defeated. Please dispose of
their bodies." "No problem." Stephan gestured to his men, and they
quickly carried the bodies off. "By the way, what do you know about the
White Dragon guild? Custin questioned. "The White Dragon guild is
regarded as one of the top three guilds in Swinton. Their guild members
are mainly ruffians and scoundrels from the underworld. They take orders
from Edwin and conduct illegal operations. Their infamous reputation
precedes them," Stephan explained. "Oh, I see." Dustin nodded. "The White
Dragon guild has many skilled lighters, especially the guild master.
Dracor Millroy. He is one of the best martial artists in Swinton. It is
said that his skin is impenetrable to a sword or blade as he has attained
the highest tier of martial artistry. The wise thing to do would be to
escape instead of challenging him." Stephan wa med. 1 *Thanks for your
advice. I know what to do," Dustin replied nonchalantly. He was curious
to see what it would be like to spar against the best martial artist in
Swinton.
