An Understated Dominance 648

Chapter 648 

“Dahlia! Did this bastard feed you a love potion? How can you believe him?” Florence was both furious and shocked. She couldn’t believe her daughter had turned into such a shameful woman. She was ignoring her brother’s death for the sake of a wretched man. She was even defending the killer. It was foolish behavior! 

“I believe him because there are indeed questionable circumstances surrounding James’ death. I don’t wish to unjustly accuse a good man,” Dahlia explained. 

“A good man, my fucking ass! You can tell he’s a wretched person just by how obnoxious and cunning he is! I must hand him over to the authorities today!” Florence was unyielding, shouting, and ready to act. 

“Mom, can you calm down?” Dahlia stood in front of her mom, trying to stop her. 

Florence was enraged and tried to push her daughter aside. “Get out of my way!” 

The result was the same, as Dahlia stood her ground. In the end, the two started pushing each 

other. 

“Mom, listen to me. This situation-” Before Dahlia could continue, an enraged Florence delivered. a heavy slap across her face. 

“Dahlia! What the hell are you doing? James had just passed away, and here you are defending the murderer? Don’t you have a conscience? James is your brother! What kind of a sister are you?” Florence fumed with rage as she screamed. Throughout her life, she had never laid a hand on her daughter until today. 

“Florence, you can scold her and be mad all you want, but it’s a little inappropriate to hit your child.” Realizing that the situation was getting out of hand, Victoria tried to calm the situation.” Dahlia, you’re in the wrong too. How can you fight your mother for the sake of an outsider?” 

“That’s right, Dahlia. Stop being stubborn and step aside.” Julie reasoned as well. 

Dahlia kept her composure even as her cheek burned Calmly, she told her mother, “Mom, can you believe me this once? Give Dustin a chance to prove his innocence; I’m begging you.” 

“You-!” Florence was frustrated at Dahlia’s behavior and was about to strike her again, but ultimately, she was unable to bring herself to do it. She knew her daughter’s personality well. It was hard to change her mind once she had made a decision. 

Dustin finally spoke up. “Give me five days. I’ll definitely catch the murderer within five days. Otherwise, you can do whatever you want with me.” His words were resolute. 

“Fine, I’ll give you a chance! Let’s see what tricks you can come up with!” Florence suppressed her anger and turned to Dahlia before saying, “As for you, you’re going to regret going against us for that bastard someday!” And with that, Florence left, irritated. 

“Rhys, you have five days! I’ll be sending someone to tail you!” After a final threat, Julie and her 

mother followed Florence out the door. 

“I’m sorry for putting you through that.” Noticing her slightly swollen cheek, Dustin felt a pang of guilt Florence hadn’t held back earlier. 

“It’s nothing.” Dahlia shook her head slightly. “Your main priority now is to find the murderer. Otherwise, my mom will never let you off the hook, 

“I understand; I’ll take care of it right away.” Dustin nodded and left soon after. 

The only reason he was searching for the murderer was to clear his name. However, he was now driven by a personal grudge, and it was poised to be deadly.

Chapter 649 

Dustin’s phone suddenly rang on his way back to the Flame Dragon Dojo. Abigail’s voice came through on the other side of the line when he answered. 

Her tone was anxious as soon as she spoke. “Sir, things are not good! There’s some trouble at home! 

“What kind of trouble?” Dustin’s forehead creased slightly with worry.. 

“I’m not sure of the exact situation, but there are a lot of people outside our house and two excavators. It seems like they are going to forcibly demolish our house.” 

“Forced demolition? That’s going overboard!” Dustin’s expression darkened. “Try to hold them back, I’ll be there immediately.” 

“It’s no use; they’re starting-!” While Abigail was speaking, she seemed to notice something and cried out, “You bastards, how dare you lay a hand on my father! I’m not going to let you off!” 

“Abigail, don’t be rash!” Dustin tried to warn her, but she had already hung up. As they were clearly in danger, Dustin didn’t hesitate when he turned the car around and sped toward Central Village in a rush. 

20 minutes later, at the entrance of a two-story home in Central Village, Abigail held a baseball bat with both hands, keeping guard at the front. She was sweating profusely and panting; her complexion was pale. It was obvious that she was out of energy. However, at her feet were the bodies of more than ten men. They were the gangsters she had beaten to the ground for trying to demolish her home. Every one of them at least had one broken bone as they laid on the ground, groaning in pain. The rest of the gangsters were stunned and afraid to approach. 

“Damn it, why is this kid so fierce? She’s a female tiger!” The gangsters grumbled under their breaths. Although they looked menacing, their gaze showed a hint of fear. 

They had gotten used to acting haughty and arrogant. Owing to their numbers, everything they did usually went smoothly and effortlessly. They didn’t expect to run into a headstrong individual. 

today. 

A teenage woman between the ages of 17 to 18 had single-handedly knocked down more than ten of their men. They wouldn’t have believed that there was such an extraordinary woman living in Central Village had they not seen it 

With their own eyes. 

At that moment, the window of a Mercedes Benz was rolled down, and a young man wearing sunglasses with hollow cheeks poked his head out. He yelled loudly, “Hey, what are you guys doing just standing there? Take her down immediately!” 

“Sir, she’s too good. We aren’t able to advance.” One of the gangsters reported. 

The young man in sunglasses berated them loudly. “Do whatever it takes! You can’t handle a small child? What am I keeping you, useless idiots, for? Get her!” 

“Yes, sir.” The gangsters wore bitter expressions, but they could only nod. After exchanging glances, they gritted their teeth and charged forward

“You guys again?” Abigail took a deep breath and swung her baseball bat, taking them on. Although her moves were uncoordinated, they were powerful and fast, leaving the gangsters. overwhelmed and unable to defend themselves. 

Ever since Dustin taught her martial arts, she never slacked off. Now, she was comparable to a low -level martial artist, possessing strength and speed greater than ordinary folks. With a weapon in hand, she fought fiercely. The gangsters lying on the floor were a testament to her hard work. 

Naturally, her weakness was also apparent. Although she had managed to cultivate internal energy, she lacked experience, not knowing how to control her power. Since she fought this battle. purely on instinct, it not only consumed her internal energy greatly but also didn’t yield optimal results Had she gone against a skilled opponent, she would have been at a disadvantage. 

Abigail swung her bat again, and with a bang, it bent the steel pipe held by one of the gangsters. and struck him hard on the head. The gangster fell unconscious to the ground with a groan. After taking on the last person, Abigail was exhausted. She stumbled, barely able to keep herself upright. Beads of sweat dripped down her forehead, and she gasped heavily. In the end, she could only support herself with the baseball bat to prevent herself from collapsing.
