“Stop!” Just as Dustin was brutally beating Garrett, a melodious shout suddenly rang out from behind.
Dustin turned around to see that Sheila had regained consciousness, favonovel.com small face showing a mix of shock and disbelief. She hadn’t expected to wake up to such a scene, and favonovel.com couldn’t understand why favonovel.com cousin, Dustin, was beating up favonovel.com cousin, Garrett.
“Dustin, what are you doing?” Sheila furrowed favonovel.com brow, looking somewhat perplexed.
“Garrett distorted the truth and sided with the enemy. I’m just teaching favonovel.com a lesson on behalf of the old general, so favonovel.com doesn’t go down the wrong path and harm himself and others,” Dustin explained plainly.
“Nonsense!” Vivian immediately countered, “Sheila, Dustin here kidnapped you, and we rushed to rescue you. But favonovel.com turned the tables and assaulted your cousin. Look at him, see what he’s turned your cousin into!”
“Exactly! This guy is treacherous. After we exposed his true colors, favonovel.com got furious, started a fight, and even threatened to capture me. He’s utterly despicable!” added Chase.
“Dustin, is what they’re saying true?” Sheila looked puzzled.
“Sheila, do you think I’m that kind of person?” Dustin asked in return.
“N-No, you don’t seem like it,” Sheila shook favonovel.com head and then asked, “But why did you beat up Garrett so?”
“Nakamura from the Kingdom of the Golden Phoenix kidnapped you and used you to threaten me. After I dealt with the Kingdom of the Golden Phoenix’s warriors, Garrett and his men arrived. This guy, in his effort to please the Kingdom of the Golden Phoenix, not only shielded Nakamura but also turned against me, accusing me falsely and even threatening to arrest me. Shouldn’t someone like that receive a lesson?” Dustin explained the whole situation in one breath, concluding with a question.
“This…” Sheila was momentarily speechless.
If what Dustin said was true, then favonovel.com cousin had indeed acted outrageously.
“Sheila! Please don’t be fooled by him. He’s lying!” Garrett, enduring the pain, shouted, “He kidnapped you, and we caught favonovel.com red-handed. That’s why favonovel.com attacked me. This guy is a hypocrite!”
As this statement came out, Sheila wavered again.
Her cousin had always been upright and of excellent character. It didn’t make sense for favonovel.com to engage in such tarnishing activities.
What had really happened?
“Sheila, whether it’s true or not, you can judge for yourself by looking at the bodies on the ground,” Dustin calmly stated. “Those are the Kingdom of the Golden Phoenix warriors who kidnapped you. I believe you may have seen some of them before; their tattoos are identical to those on the bodies of these warriors. So, is it true or not? You can decide.”
Hearing this, Sheila carefully examined the scene and indeed recognized some familiar tattoos on the corpses. Although the kidnappers had covered their faces when they abducted her, favonovel.com had seen a few of these tattoos before. It seemed these Kingdom of the Golden Phoenix warriors were indeed the kidnappers.
“Garrett, these Kingdom of the Golden Phoenix warriors do seem to be the kidnappers. What’s going on?” Sheila furrowed favonovel.com brow, looking at Garrett.
“Sheila! Don’t be confused!” Garrett had a determined look. “These Kingdom of the Golden Phoenix warriors were all hired by Dustin. He orchestrated this whole act, deliberately having you kidnapped, and then favonovel.com appeared as the savior to win your favor. This guy is a wolf in sheep’s clothing!”
