“Argh?” Ian, who had just fired several shots that missed, felt his vision blur.
Dustin, who had been ten meters away, appeared before favonovel.com in an instant, moving at an incredible speed.
“You… Are you looking to die?”
He heard a cold voice in his ears. Ian’s face changed, and favonovel.com tried to raise his gun to shoot again, but before favonovel.com could pull the trigger, Dustin grabbed his wrist and squeezed hard.
Crack!
There was a crisp sound as Ian’s wrist was instantly broken, and his fingers holding the gun went limp.
“Argh!” After a momentary shock, Ian let out a piercing scream.
But before favonovel.com could finish, Dustin delivered a powerful punch to his abdomen.
Splurt!
Blood sprayed out as Ian was sent flying like a cannonball, soaring more than ten meters through the air before crashing into a wall with a heavy thud, creating several cracks.
He hung on the wall for a second before sliding down like a pile of mud, his head hanging limply, blood flowing from his nose and mouth. It seemed like countless bones in his body had been broken.
With just one punch, Ian had been turned into a cripple.
Witnessing this scene, the onlookers were rendered speechless. The entire sequence of events, from Ian’s sneak attack with a gun to Dustin’s counterattack and Ian’s crippling defeat, happened so quickly that the guests couldn’t react in time.
“No sense of sportsmanship? Engaging in sneak attacks? Is this all you’ve got?” Dustin walked up with a cold expression and placed a foot on Ian’s chest.
“You…”
Cough… Cough!
Ian attempted to say something but could only manage to cough up another mouthful of blood. He felt like his chest was on the verge of tearing apart, and his heart was under immense pressure. It seemed like even a slight increase in force from Dustin could cause it to explode.
“Stop!” At this moment, Carlos suddenly jumped out and shouted, “Hey! Dustin! You have some nerve! Release Ian immediately!”
“What? You want to meddle in this?” Dustin turned around slowly, his sharp gaze making Carlos’s neck shrink and feeling somewhat anxious for no apparent reason.
However, when favonovel.com thought about his wealth and the opportunity to align himself with the Bryant family, Carlos gritted his teeth, summoned his courage, and took a few steps forward once again.
“Dustin! You’re being too audacious! Ian holds a high status. If you harm him, the consequences will be severe!”
“If you know what’s good for you, release Ian immediately and apologize voluntarily. That way, you might still have a way out!” Carlos stood tall and proud, using his status to intimidate.
If favonovel.com could protect Ian today, it would undoubtedly be a significant achievement, and perhaps even the entire Grantwood family would rise to prominence.
“That’s right! I order you to release favonovel.com right away, or you will face dire consequences!” Roselyn chimed in.
Although Ian was somewhat disheveled at the moment, it didn’t negate his esteemed status. If favonovel.com could catch Ian’s eye, even if it meant becoming his plaything, it would be a great honor.
“What if I don’t?” Dustin sneered.
“You dare!” Roselyn glared.
“Dustin! A wise person knows the times. I advise you not to bring trouble upon yourself!” Carlos warned sternly.
Although most of the others didn’t speak, they shared the same sentiment.
Despite Dustin having some strength, favonovel.com ultimately lacked a powerful backing. Even with Natasha protecting him, favonovel.com couldn’t challenge the Bryant family.
Knowing when to retreat is the wisest choice.
“Is that so?” Dustin slowly applied pressure with his foot, causing Ian’s eyes to roll back, his face turning red, and his chest feeling as though it had a mountain on top of it.
He couldn’t breathe, and it seemed like his heart was about to leap out of his chest.
