"I was, but I'm already divorced," Dustin answered straightforwardly.
"Aw, damn!" Adam grinned. "If that's the case, my sister
finally has a chance! I'll be your brother–in–law soon."
"Get lost!" Dustin rolled his eyes. "What kind of brother are you? Why wo
uld you throw your sister under the
bus?"
"She threw herself in!" Adam retorted in exasperation. "You have no idea
how much she bugged me alter finding out that you were still alive. She w
ould have flown back for you if the war hadn't broken out at the
border."
"Has Scarlet been well?" Dustin suddenly asked.
"You're still worried about her? That kid's been practicing martial arts
since young, and with her talent, she's
already a grandmaster. I can't even win against her anymore. Who would da
re to cross her?" Adam responded
nervously.
All his life, Adam has only ever been afraid of two people–
Dustin, the person who's been throwing punches at him since they were kid
s, and his sister Scarlet. He always lost his dignity when it came to the
m.
Dustin chuckled. "She is talented, so it's natural that you can't beat he
r."
It's been ten years. He never expected the little girl who
used to follow him around everywhere to become
Stonia's well–known Goddess of War.
"Won't you just marry her? No one else can handle her!" Adam implored. Th
e sooner his sister got married, the
sooner he'll be free from being forced to be her sparring partner and end
ing up with bruises all over his body
every day.
"Nonsense!" Dustin kicked the other man. "Scarlet's nothing more than a s
ister to me."
"But she might not see you as her brother." Adam shrugged. "I'm just goin
g to put it out there. She probably won't marry anyone but you, so you'll
have to take responsibility for her."
"That's enough. Shut up and drink!" Irritated, Dustin poured Adam a full
glass of wine. "Drink it!"
Adam boldly downed the entire glass in response.
Chatting away while drinking, the two of them quickly began to feel tipsy
.
"That reminds me, when are you going back?" Adam asked coldly.
"Why would I go back? Isn't it quite nice here? All I need to
worry about is making sure Gregory recovers nicely.
"Dustin responded indifferently.
"That's true. Still, the Rhys family needs an heir." Adam sighed.
"There's still Austin."
"That useless idiot? He only cares about his debaucherous pleasures. Who
knows how many people will die if he takes your place." Adam snapped disd
ainfully.

"He isn't that bad. The kid's smart. Just give
him some time, and he might outshine you." Dustin said seriously.
"Are you serious? You're pitting me against him?" Adam looked at him susp
iciously.
"Many people have called me a loser in the past few years too." Dustin sm
iled but didn't elaborate further. With that woman around, his step–
brother could never be mediocre.
"Holy shit! Look at that chick!" Adam lit up suddenly.
"Where?" Dustin followed Adam's line of sight and spotted a Lamborghini a
t the restaurant entrance. A smartly dressed man emerged, and a gorgeous
lady stepped out of the passenger side in a long black dress, as if she
had just come out of a painting.
"Why is it her?" Dustin frowned, instantly sobering.
The beautiful woman was none other than Dahlia!
