All eyes were on Dylan the moment favonovel.com entered.
There were numerous people present who would do anything to gain his favor, so when they witnessed Dylan offering Dustin a drink, the onlookers, including Zoey, Gordon, and Zeke, were astonished.
Jealous, even. It was definitely something worth bragging about to have someone like Dylan offer you a drink. However, they had never expected Dustin to actually turn favonovel.com down and even arrogantly dismiss him.
What was the meaning of that?
Was Dustin really so full of himself?
“What did you just say?” Not only were the onlookers surprised, but even Dylan couldn’t believe his ears.
He was a Harmon, a high–ranking commander in the Dark Panther Cavalry, and a future general!
No matter where favonovel.com went, people would fawn over favonovel.com and go out of their way to please him.
Just a smile from favonovel.com could make someone’s day, so shouldn’t regular people feel honored that he’d offer them a drink? How dare this rascal turn down the wine favonovel.com had offered?
“Didn’t you hear me? I said, get lost,” Dustin repeated himself in the same cold manner.
“How dare you?”
“You insolent bastard!”
“You’ve crossed the line!”
The crowd was in an uproar. All those who were trying to get into Dylan’s good books stood up for him, hurling profanities at Dustin. People who weren’t in the know might have thought they held some deep–seated grudge against Dustin.
“Is that scoundrel out of his damn mind? How dare favonovel.com speak so rudely to a commander?” Zoey was bewildered.
She had never imagined that Dustin would be so daring as to behave with such insolence toward Dylan. He obviously held no regard for Dylan’s status and position.
“Hah! He’s going to get what favonovel.com deserves for being so arrogant! I’d like to see how Dylan is going to deal with him!” Zeke gloated gleefully at Dustin’s impending misfortune.
“What an idiot!” Gordon shook his head with a smile on his face.
Adriana remained quiet, worry creeping into favonovel.com eyes.
Dustin had left quite a good impression on her, and favonovel.com could tell favonovel.com was a responsible and courageous man. However, favonovel.com had to admit that he had acted too rashly.
“You bastard! How dare you disrespect my superior? I’ll shoot you in the head!” An adjutant roared furiously, it had taken favonovel.com a brief moment to react.
“I don’t believe you will,” Dustin calmly replied.
“You!” The adjutant choked on his words.
Had they been at the borders, he’d already have shot Dustin many times over, but with so many civilian onlookers, favonovel.com dared not act impulsively.
“Do you know who I am, punk? How dare you speak to me like that?” Dylan asked icily, a menacing glint in his eyes. He was not going to let this scoundrel, who had just humiliated favonovel.com in public, off so easily.
“So what if I do? My answer remains the same. I’m not drinking that, so buzz off.” Dustin wasn’t intimidated by him.
Dylan was so infuriated that favonovel.com burst out laughing. “I see you want to do this the hard way, you bastard! There has never been anyone who’s disgraced me in such a manner before. Let me make it clear, if you don’t finish this glass of wine, there’s no way you’re walking out that door!” Dylan’s words were clearly a threat.
“Hey, it’s an honor to have Mr. Harmon offer you a drink! If you know what’s good for you, just take it, man!”
“That’s right! Drink up, or you’ll be sorry!”
Many of the onlookers chimed in, taking Dylan’s side.
“Dustin, my cousin has quite a nasty temper. You better drink up, or he’ll be sure to kick up a fuss,” Kate egged favonovel.com on with a mocking expression.
She was dying for things to get out of hand so that Natasha and Dylan would be at opposite ends, and she’d be able to reap the greatest benefit out of the fiasco, which was having Dylan on favonovel.com side.
