Chapter 182
Even though she said that, she secretly knew that her father would take Xavier’s side out of his great fondness
for him.
When one was born into a wealthy family, joy wasn’t as much of a significant consideration as the family’s
interests.
“Alright. We all know how much Uncle Caden adores you, so he definitely wouldn’t let you suffer,” Ruth replied. and she no longer pressed her for answers.
“Let’s go back home and take a nice nap, Ruth,” Dustin yawned. After retrieving all of his golden needles, he spun around and was about to leave when a voice piped up again.
“Running away already?” Xavier taunted, his expression now full of furious rage and his gaze scorching.
He immediately pounced on Dustin while he wasn’t paying attention and stabbed him with a knife!
“Just die already!” Xavier roared as he pushed the tip of the blade into Dustin’s back.
“Behind you!” Ruth and Sheila shrieked in horror,
Everyone else at the scene was also stunned by Xavier’s sudden attack. No one expected that he’d launch a sneak attack against Dustin.
“Oh?” Dustin hummed as his footsteps came to a halt. He then slowly turned his back to meet Xavier’s crazed
gaze. “You want to kill me?”
“So what if you die? I can kill trash like you whenever I want!” Xavier laughed maniacally as he used more force to push the blade further inside.
But it was soon after that he realized that something was off. It was strange to him that he couldn’t seem to
push the knife in any further as he tried to put more force behind it.
“Since you explicitly said that you’re cut for my blood, then don’t blame me for being merciless,” Dustin grabbed Xavier by the neck and lifted him off the ground.
“Urgh!” Xavier gasped for air as his face turned red. He struggled to break free from Dustin’s grasp as he flailed his legs wildly in the air.
“Dustin! Release him right now!” Claudia commanded, her face aghast, after feeling an urge to kill him.
“He wants to kill me though? Are you saying I should just stand here and let him kill me?” Dustin turned his head sideways, his gaze was as cold as ice.
“I don’t care about that! You just can’t hurt Xavier, no matter what. Otherwise, you’ll be making yourself an enemy of all three of our families!” Claudia threatened,
“That’s right! Just let go of Xavier already! Or else, you won’t like it when I’m angry!” Nigel echoed.
“Mr. Horst is not someone you can mess with, Dustin. Just admit you’re wrong, and who knows, you might just receive his forgiveness,”

“Can’t you look at the situation and adapt? Just let Mr. Horst stab you with a knife to let off steam, and all of this will be over. As long as you dare put up a fight, you and your family will be faced with calamity in the future!”
“Yeah! In this world, it is useless to rely on strength alone. The most important thing is still power, so just kneel down to Xavier and admit your mistakes already. It’s not anything shameful if it’ll help you make it out of here alive, you know.”
The crowd erupted in a flurry of scoldings toward Dustin.
Although they all knew that Xavier was in the wrong, they understood that he was still the one with absolute power. At this stage, it wasn’t important who was right or wrong.
“Heh, you hear that, Rhys? I’m not someone you can simply cross, you know. So what if you can fight? You’re just a puny martial artist, after all. One word from me, and your entire family goes poof! Kneel and bow down to me right now. Who knows–if you manage to appease me, I might even spare your puny life!” Xavier sneered and believed that he already had this in the bag.
“What makes you so sure that I don’t dare to kill you?” Dustin asked, amused.
“Do you, though? If you do so much as touch a single hair on my head, I’ll have your whole bloodline wiped out! Come on then, kill me! Aren’t you the one who kept saying they were so powerful? Then kill me if you have the balls! I want to see if you have the balls to-!” Xavier shouted profusely, taking it to the extreme, until he was rudely interrupted by a violent smack by Dustin, which decimated his neck.
He died instantly!
