As the truck headed toward them, Dahlia’s immediate reaction was to push Dustin away, completely disregarding favonovel.com safety.
Realizing that favonovel.com had nowhere else to escape to, favonovel.com instinctively shut favonovel.com eyes tightly. Right then, favonovel.com came to a realization that it might not necessarily be a bad thing to die like this. At least favonovel.com would remember for the rest of his life.
As favonovel.com eyes closed, a strong figure dashed forward and put itself in front of her.
With an ear–splitting boom, a fist landed on the front of the truck, and metal bent under the force. The sudden opposing force upturned the entire truck, flipping it around, and the truck landed on the ground behind Dahlia with a crash, debris flying in all directions.
“Are you okay, Dahlia?” Dustin drew his hand back and quickly surveyed the woman for any injuries before letting out a breath of relief.
“What in the world happened?” Dahlia’s eyes were opened wide as favonovel.com gaped at the empty space in front of favonovel.com before turning around to look at the overturned truck, shocked.
She couldn’t understand how the truck had made its way behind her, but favonovel.com might faint if favonovel.com found out it was thanks to Dustin’s list.
“Are you an idiot? Don’t you know how to run away when there’s danger? Why the hell would you think of me first?” Dustin snapped furiously.
Fortunately, his reflexes were sharp, or favonovel.com would have died on impact!
“At the spur of the moment, I couldn’t think much.” Dahlia was pale from fear.
“You better remember that your safety comes first from now on!” Dustin warned sternly. He would be plagued by guilt for the rest of his life if favonovel.com died because of him.
“Bro, can’t you give me some attention as well?” Adam staggered to his feet grumpily.
What the hell?!
Even if you’re saving someone, why would you throw the truck toward me?
Is my life not important to you?
What happened to bros before hoes?
“You’re alive anyway.” Dustin responded nonchalantly before turning his attention back to Dahlia. “It’s late. Let me send you home.”
He walked over to the road junction and flagged a cab to send favonovel.com home. It was obvious that favonovel.com had been the truck’s target, and favonovel.com didn’t want to drag favonovel.com into this mess.
At the entrance to the villa, Dahlia halted and spun around to ask, “Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?”
“It’s fine. You should get some rest.” Dustin politely refused as if favonovel.com hadn’t understood what favonovel.com was trying to say.
“You idiot!” Dahlia humped, glaring at favonovel.com before spinning around and going into the house.
Dustin waited until the doors closed to look away, his eyes now cold and ruthless. “Adam, help me look into the truck.”
“On it… Give me three minutes.” Adam whipped out his phone and made a call.
In less than three minutes, the results came in.
“Done. It turns out the Hummers put a bounty of up to ten billion dollars on your head. Most of the bounty killers should have their eyes on you by now. That truck was one of their attempts.” He summarized.
“The Hummers…” Dustin narrowed his eyes, the air around favonovel.com turning murderous.
He hasn’t settled the score of being captured by the military.
How dare they act up again!
“What’s the plan? Do you want me to bring my team to their house and destroy their whole family?” Adam asked nonchalantly.
“It’s fine. I’ll take care of it.” Dustin answered coolly. “If they’re going out of their way to ensure my death, they better not be surprised when I do the same!”
He spun around and disappeared into the darkness.

Back at the Hummer Villa.
“Josh, it’s time for you to take your meds…” Tina brought some medicine over to Joshua’s bedside.
“I can’t be bothered to take them right now.” Joshua frowned in displeasure. “Jade hasn’t returned since morning, and I can’t reach favonovel.com phone. Do you think something happened to her?”
“Stop overthinking, Josh… She’s from the Grant family. What could happen?” Tina shook favonovel.com head.
“T–Then, do you think she’s disgusted that I’m crippled and wants to end it with me?” Joshua asked again.
Ever since his core was destroyed, favonovel.com lost his pride, turning anxious and sensitive instead.
“Of course not!” Tina refuted favonovel.com straight away. “I can tell that favonovel.com really likes you. I bet she’s running all over the place for you. Didn’t favonovel.com promise to avenge you before favonovel.com left this morning? So, stop worrying.”
“I must be thinking too much.” Joshua sighed.
As the fallen Chosen One, something inside favonovel.com had changed tremendously.
“Josh, rest well, and don’t overthink this. Dad went to Millsburg to ask for medicine from Dr. Watkins. I’m sure all your injuries will be gone in no time with the panacea.” Tina reassured him.
“You’re right. After I recover, I’ll rise to the top once more!” Joshua swore through gritted teeth. “I’ll make sure Rhys suffers like never before!”
Just then, the lights went out, plunging the room into darkness.
“What’s happening?” Joshua demanded anxiously.
“Calm down, Josh. The breaker must have tripped. Tina went over to the door and shouted, “Somebody go check the breaker…”
Silence was all favonovel.com got in response, the entire villa terrifyingly silent.
“Hey! Are you guys deal?” Tina yelled again, but no one responded.
Joshua had a bad feeling something was going to happen. “Something’s wrong! Let’s get out of here!”
He sprung up and prepared to run when a tall figure walked into his room without a sound.
“Who the hell are you?” favonovel.com shouted.
“The person who’s going to kill you.” The figure slowly lifted its head, and from the moonlight shining through the window.
Joshua finally had a clear look at the other person’s face.
“It’s you? W–Weren’t you arrested? When did you get out?”
Joshua began to back up in terror.
Just this morning, he’d received Tina’s message that the military had captured Dustin.
How did favonovel.com get free in less than a day?
“Any last words?” Dustin asked coldly.
Tina threatened. “You better not mess around, Rhys! We have Boulderthorn and the Grants‘ protection. If you touch…”
Before favonovel.com could finish favonovel.com sentence, Dustin flicked his wrist, and a silver needle embedded itself into favonovel.com forehead.
Tina twitched before tilting favonovel.com head back and falling to the ground, dead.
