Chapter 253
Suddenly, she pped. Right on cue, a group of domineering martial artists d in all–
ck gear strode in proudly.
Taking the lead was a woman with short hair. She had striking features that gave her a cool look. Beca
use of her tight–fitting outfit, her figure appeared exceptionally curvaceous and left an impact.
Jennifer said impassively. “This is Isfrid. She leads team five of the Harmon family’s shadow guards an
d is highly skilled, Bring her team with you so you have each other’s backs.”
“Mrs. Harmon, forgive me for my bluntness, but our team is enough to ensure Ms. Harmon’s safety. Wh
y do we need to involve outsiders?” Istrid gave Dustin a contemptuous once over. “Team five is well trai
ned, and our teamwork is unparalleled. Having our members are more than enough to save Ms. Harmo
n. We can’t afford to bring along baggage since it will make the operation riskier. I hope you will reconsi
der, Mrs. Harmon.”
“Dustin is a good fighter, and the Hummer family asked for him personally. He has to be there,” she repl
ied frankly.
“If that is the case, please have him listen to our orders and not get in our way, lest it affects our operati
on,” Istrid said unfeelingly.
An exceptional fighter, she was extremely confident in her abilities. Her
team always worked in the shadows. but her skills wereparable to the highly skilled martial artists
of The Hundred Immortals.
“Suit yourselves. I only have one demand–bring my daughter back to me alive,” she ordered solemnly.
“Yes, Mrs. Harmon.” Isfrid bowed before leaving arrogantly with her team behind her.
“Mr. Rhys, be careful. The Hummers have a highly skilled martial artist among them. He’s possibly achi
eved divinity,” Stephan warned Dustin.
“Achieved divinity? They’re mere ants to me.” With that, he left.
Night gradually fell.
Meanwhile, in the square outside Hummer Vi, a group of armored fighters sat around a bonfire, roasti
ng a
wholemb. Beside them was a dog cage, and inside the cage was a ragged woman. Her hair was dis
heveled, and her body was covered in injuries. It was clear that she had been tortured.
There was even a cor around her neck, which was attached to a dog leash held by an elderly man. T

was Fletcher Lawson.
“Mr. Lawson, it’s about time. It seems like he’s too scared toe since he hasn’t shown up till now.” A
bald
man smirked.
“Of course! With so many of us keeping guard here, who would send themselves to death? That punk
has long fled!” Everyone chimed in,ughing heartily. Who would barge in foolishly when they knew it w
as a trap?
“Mr. Lawson, the woman in the cage is exceptional. Why don’t you allow us to enjoy her first?” the bal

said with an evil grin.
“That’s right. Mr. Lawwon. We’ve been deprived for too long. How can we give up the chance when a
beautiful woman is present?” the rest jeered.
It wasn’t the first time they’d engaged in acts of arson, murder, and looting.
“y around if you must, but keep yourselves in check,” Fletcher said calmly.
“No problem.” The bald man chuckled, then approached the cage eagerly. He ripped the woman’s skirt
apart, exposing her white thighs.
“What a beauty! Just as we thought!”
He licked his lips and pounced with a devilish smile. Just as he was about to carry out his intentions, a f
leeting flicker of light sliced through the air with a faint whistle. Emerging from the darkness and piercin
g through the bonfire’s glow, a golden needle found its mark between the man’s eyebrows.
With a groan, his eyes widened as he convulsed. Soon, he turned stiff. He was rooted in ce with no
signs of
breath.
“Hey! What are you dawdling for? If you can’t do it, we’ll go instead. Don’t make us wait longer!”
“That’s right! There are so many of us waiting for our turn. Can you be faster?”
Nobody noticed anything strange. They were rushing him instead.
“Hey! We’re talking to you. Are you deal?”
A muscr man walked up and nudged his shoulder. Immediately, like a statue that had lost its bnce
, the bald man toppled to the ground.
The muscr man was shocked and extended out his hand. “What the fuck? He’s not breathing!”
He’d just finished his sentence when another faint whistle was heard. A second gold
needle sliced through the air and embedded straight between his brows. Falling to the ground with his
head up, he died instantly.
“What’s happening?” Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They only reacted when they saw blood
between the victims‘ eyebrows.
“We’re being ambushed! Stay alert!” Following the shouts, the fighters took
out their swords, looking around in
all directions.
“Who the fuck is it?”
“Step out if you dare! You’re a pussy for hiding!”
The crowd roared incessantly.
Right then, a sudden, powerful gust of wind whipped through the surroundings. Illuminated by the stree
t lights,
a tall, slender figure walked into the vi with deliberate steps.
Fletcher took a closer look and suddenly let out augh. “How brave. He really walked into the lion’s de
n.”
“Release her immediately!” Dustin ordered coldly. His voice wasn’t too loud, but it reverberated acros
s the
whole vi. His expression was impassive, but his gaze was as cold as ice.
“Know your ce! There’s no need to think about being a hero when you’re dying soon.”
Fletcher waved, “Get him! Whoever brings me his head first will be rewarded 100 million!”
100 million?” The crowd of fighters was excited.
There was nothing money couldn’t solve, and avish reward would certainly give birth to brave warrior
s.
People would kill friends and rtives for 100 million, not to mention a stranger.
Get him!”
The crowd roared and rushed forward without dy.
“Attack!” Suddenly, a group of all–
ck, masked assassins emerged from the darkness. They had a knife in
one hand and a crossbow in the other. Although they were few in numbers, all of them were well–
trained.
Pushing forward, they surrounded the Hummer family’s fighters. It was like nothing could stand in their
way. They were the shadow guards led by Istrid.
Although the Harmon family’s shadow guards were not well–
known, they were all handpicked talents among hundreds of candidates. They were specifically tasked
with removing obstacles and eliminating dissidents for
the Harmon family.
“See that? This is the true power of the Harmon family’s shadow guards!” Istrid emerged from the dark
ness
and stood beside Dustin.
