While Dustin froze, Natasha blushed. "This… this is too sudden. I'm not p
repared for it!" She followed that up by asking, "Have you chosen a date?
When are we getting married?"
"Hey, you thought I was for real? You should be embarrassed!" Hector glar
ed at her.
Natasha pouted. "You said it yourself. Why are you yelling at me instead?
"
"Alright, it's time to get serious." Hector's smile gradually disappeared
. "Even though we overcame the situation for now, this matter is far from
over. With Tyler's personality, he will not take this sitting down."
"Will Tyler still act recklessly with Lord Xenos and $ir Paul behind us?"
Natasha raised an
eyebrow.
"Tyler might not confront us directly, but he will definitely act behind
the scenes." Hector was solemn as he continued, "Lord Xenos and Sir Paul
have also repaid their favor. They won't help us a second time. We can on
ly face him ourselves now."
"Does that mean trouble will continue brewing
for us?" Natasha looked pensive.
"There will be trouble, but the most important thing is Dustin's safety."
Hector turned his attention toward Dustin and warned him, "Tyler is an u
nsympathetic and prideful man. Whether it was your involvement in Jayla's
death or your public confrontation with him, they were all unforgivable
acts for him. You will be in danger going forward."
"Thank you for the warning, Uncle
Hector. I will take note." Dustin nodded. He knew Tyler would come after
him to get revenge. But as long as Natasha was safe, there was nothing he
feared.
"During this period, I'll deploy team one of our shadow guards to protect
you. That should lessen some of your troubles." Hector declared.
"Team one? They're your personal bodyguards, aren't they?" Natasha was as
tonished. The Harmons had
six shadow guard teams. Team one was the most skilled, with a divine–
level
martial artist leading them. They were considered the Harmon family's tru
mp card. However, since team one's responsibility was specifically to ove
rsee the patriarch's safety, they weren't deployed
easily.
Hector responded, "I don't need them for now. Let them protect Dustin."
"Uncle Harmon, actually, I don't
need protecting," Dustin tried to decline.
"There are times when we slip up. With team one protecting you, they will
act as an extra precaution to ensure your safety. Consider this our sinc
ere gift to you. Don't refuse it." Hector was
serious.
Natasha nodded in agreement. "My dad is right. Your safety comes first."
"Alright…" Since Hector had put
it that way, there was no reason for Dustin to refuse any longer.
Even though he
wasn't afraid of Tyler, it would affect him slightly if Tyler decided to
assassinate him. At least he could avoid unnecessary trouble with the sha
dow guards keeping watch on him.
In the meantime, inside the Grant family mansion, Roger was seated on the
sofa, appearing pensive. "Tyler, The Harmons have Lord Xenos backing the
m now. It won't be easy to target them."
"Even though we can't touch them publicly, no one said anything about act
ing in the dark." Tyler stood with his hands behind his back. His gaze wa
s unusually cold as he stared at a bird perched. on a tree outside the wi
ndow.

"Oh? What are your plans?" Roger was curious.
"I have a few friends in the martial arts world. I'm going to get them to
act and create chaos within the Harmon family!" Tyler spat out coldly.
"But, that's Paul's territory … " Roger was at a loss for words. Paul was
highly influential as a
martial arts master.
"Hmph! He's just an old man nearing death. While his words hold a certain
weight, it won't be enough to stop me!" Tyler had a look of arrogance.
"It seems like you have everything arranged. Is there anything I can help
you with?" Roger asked cautiously.
"Just keep an eye on George's movements for me. As long as he doesn't ent
er the picture, I will play with the Harmons as I please!" Tyler clenched
his fist. ·
"No problem. Leave it to me," Roger vouched as he patted his chest. He wa
sn't brave enough to challenge Lord Xenos. However, it would be nothing i
f he just had to monitor his movements.
After sending Roger off, Tyler suddenly turned around and faced a corner.
"That Dustin brat irritated me today. I asked you to kill
him the last time, but I
changed my mind. I want him to go. through a living hell!"
"Right away!" A shadow disappeared from the corner.
