Chapter 396


    The Nicholsons stared at the three gold–tier assassins before shirting their gazes at the


    expressionless Dustin with great rm. No one had anticipated Dustin to be so powerful. If they had no


    t witnessed the scene with their eyes, they would haveughed at the idea of a good–


    for- nothing person being talented in martial arts.


    “Is there something wrong with my eyes? When did the trash be a hero?” James widened his eye


    s in disbelief. His impression of Dustin was that he was a kept


    man who only learned a few useless martial arts tricks that were no match for the top assassins. Howe


    ver, Dustin’s


    performance shattered James‘ preconception. He was shocked to learn that his ex–brother–in–


    “Heavens! Is that really Dustin?” Florence was equally astonished. Even though she was clueless


    about the gold–


    tier assassins from the Bounty League, she was aware of the capabilities of Tarragon and Cougar. Logi


    cally, Dustin beat Hillcrest in terms of expertise, which would ce him levels above Tarragon and Cou


    gar.


    “What the f*ck? Was that really their useless live–in son–in–


    tier assassins from


    the Bounty League taken down? Did that happen due to Dustin’s prowess, or had the assassins been e


    njoying an undeserved


    reputation?


    “He’s a tough nut to crack. We need to get him out of the way soon.” After the shock, Gloria started plot


    ting against Dustin. It was impossible to beat Dustin through a martial arts battle, and the only method l


    eft was to threaten him with her authority. She believed that Dustin wouldn’t dare to go against the Nich


    olson Family despite his outstanding martial arts skills.


    At the same time, Dahlia was staring at the familiar face with surprise. She was not aware


    of Dustin’s skills during their three–year marriage. His secret was indeed well hidden.


    “Edwin Hummer, the assassins you hired didn’t seem up for their jobs. I’m afraid you will walk away dis


    appointed today.” Dustin looked up slowly with an amused twinkle in his eyes.

    “Y–


    you hid your skills from us!” Edwin appeared grim. He had thought that getting revenge was easy with t


    he help of three gold–tier assassins, only to learn that he had vastly underestimated


    Dustin.


    “Hid my skills?” Dustin smiled. “I have never attempted to do so. People like you do not require me to u


    se my full strength yet.”


    “I admit that I have underestimated you. But don’t be too d about it! I’m still in the game,” Edwin war


    ned in a somber tone.


    “Oh, why? Do you still believe that you can get out of this?” Dustin questioned him.


    “Even if I can’t, I will take everyone here with me!” While speaking, Edwin suddenly tore his shirt apart t


    o reveal the bombs that were strapped underneath.


    He cackled and said, “See this? Before I arrived, I made up my mind to die with everyone here. The nu


    mber of bombs on me is enough to turn the vi into ashes!”


    Everyone at the scene looked terrified and listless upon hearing the remark, Edwin Hummer was


    a crazy one indeed!


    “How? Dustin Rhys? Are you afraid now?” Edwinughed loudly. “It doesn’t matter if you are


    skilled. You cannot survive a bombing.”


    “What do you want?” Dustin went forward and shielded Dahlia.
