Hector was astonished at the thought. He turned his head and looked towar
d Dustin, finding him calm and collected. It appeared as if he were an ou
tsider in the situation. However, that was exactly what made him indiscer
nible.
Upon deep reflection, Hector realized that the Harmons' situation had tak
en a turn for the better when Dustin started challenging Tyler. Was this
young man in front of him really the person who turned
the tide? It would be frightening if that were the case!
"Mr. Hector, I'm needed elsewhere, so I'll be taking my leave first." Geo
rge left after saying his goodbyes. He didn't expose Dustin's identity as
he was worried about making things complicated for him. Some things were
better left untold.
"Guess there's no more fighting. I'll be leaving too." Paul gave Dustin a
knowing look before
leaving with his head held high.
"Mr. Hector, see you next time." Sir Moran shook his hand and left as wel
l.
As the influential figures departed, the ballroom livened up even more. N
ot only did the guests discuss among themselves, but even the Harmons wer
e making their own speculations.
"Dad, I
can't believe you're influential enough to be able to invite Sir Paul and
Lord Xenos over. You're amazing!" Natasha walked up with a huge smile on
her face. With two influential figures backing them, she was sure Tyler
wouldn't dare force her hand in marriage any longer. She
considered herself to have broken free from him.
"Hector, it seems you have more tricks hidden up your sleeves. I'm impres
sed!" Trent and a few of his people went up to Hector as well. Each of th
em looked proud, their faces brimming with excitement. With Lord Xenos an
d Sir Paul backing them, the Harmons would be unstoppable.
"Trent, it wasn't me. I don't have that kind of influence." Hector remain
ed modest and shook his
head.
"Then who could it be if
it wasn't you?" Trent was puzzled and confused.
"I'm wondering the same thing…" Hector rubbed his chin and glanced at Dus
tin once again. He asked meaningfully, "Dustin, do you know who could hav
e invited them?"
Before Dustin could respond, a clear and loud voice interjected, "Uncle H
ector, there's no need to speculate any longer, as that would be me!" The
crowd turned their heads in the direction of the voice and saw Dylan walk
ing over proudly.
"Dylan, are you acquainted with Lord Xenos and Sir Paul?" Trent was pleas
antly surprised.
"Although I don't know them personally, they appeared because of me." Dyl
an was confident.
"Oh? Why do you say so?" Trent was taken aback.
"I'm associated with the Dark Panther Cavalry, and I have the backing of
the Goddess of War. It's likely that they recognized my potential and tal
ent and decided to help out." Dylan's head was held high.
"That's right! Dylan is the Scarlet Warrior's trusted aide. It's natural
for Lord Xenos to take a liking
to him," Kate chimed in.
