Duane was still smiling confidently at the start of the battle. But it was not long before favonovel.com noticed something was very wrong.
Dustin was much stronger than favonovel.com had expected. He could feel terrifying surges of energy rushing at favonovel.com like waves in the ocean. They made the bones in his hand tremble. They would break any minute!
Duane’s expression darkened, and favonovel.com couldn’t take it anymore. He threw a hard punch at Dustin, trying to make favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com hit the wall to catch his balance. Even so, Dustin remained seated calmly.
They both knew who was more powerful!
“Damn it! 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 favonovel.com to be so powerful. Considering how young favonovel.com was, favonovel.com never expected Dustin to be so powerful. Just one punch had thrown favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com to get it back?” asked the Cobra hesitantly.
He could tell that Duane and Dustin weren’t actually friends. If so, favonovel.com had nothing to fear anymore.
“He is quite strong. I’m afraid your men won’t be able to take favonovel.com on.” Duane cautiously moved his numb arm.
“Are… Are you going to let favonovel.com go just like that?” The Cobra was a little disgruntled. After losing face earlier, favonovel.com was eager to redeem it.
“Let favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com surrender to me!”

Meanwhile, outside the bar, Lyra arrived with the company’s bodyguards. When favonovel.com saw that Dahlia and the others were safe and sound, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com here?” Lyra wondered as favonovel.com spotted Dustin leaving the bar.
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 voice, grasping the wooden box in his hand.
“Who needs saving? You’re so nosy!” Florence snapped rudely.
“Hmph! 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 favonovel.com 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 actions might bring?” Dahlia asked.
“I don’t know what consequences my actions would have caused, but I’m certain that your brother’s hands would have been chopped off,” Dustin retorted matter–of–factly.
