Chapter 265

As they walked out of Hummer Villa, Natasha, who'd put up a strong front

earlier, suddenly felt her knees buckle under her. She almost fell flat o

n her face. Dustin quickly caught her and asked worriedly. "Are you

okay? Do you feel sick?"

"No. I'm just out of strength. My knees feel like jelly." She shook her h

ead. She'd been on edge earlier; now that

she could relax, she felt weak.

"Ms. Harmon, I'll carry you!" Istrid stepped forward and volunteered to h

elp her.

"I don't want to inconvenience you when you're seriously injured," Natash

a said.

"I'm fine. These injuries mean nothing." Istrid patted her chest to show

she was okay.

"You're seriously injured if I say so!" Natasha's tone suddenly became st

ern. She glared at Isirid.

"Huh?" The

realization dawned on Istrid when she glanced at Dustin. "Oh, uh, yeah. I

feel really dizzy."

"I'll do it." Dustin looked helpless as he swept Natasha into his arms. S

he had a strong personality but was only an ordinary woman–

she had to be in shock after experiencing an abduction.

"Thanks for tonight." Natasha smiled sweetly and leaned her head against

his firm chest. His masculine pheromones made her heart race. Perhaps thi

s was what people meant when they talked about a sense of

security.

"It's no big deal. I couldn't

stand by and watch when a friend's in trouble, right?" Dustin smiled.

"Am I only a friend?" Natasha raised an eyebrow, looking slightly bitter.

"What else could you be?" Dustin pretended not to know what she was talki

ng about.

"Hmph! You're so dense!" Natasha frowned and chomped down on his shoulder

. Dustin hissed in pain but didn't dare retaliate. "This is a mark I'm le

aving on you. You belong to me for as long as this is around. I'll bite y

ou to death if you dare reject me!" She bared her teeth as she spoke.

Dustin

grimaced but didn't dare say anything to refute her. He savored the feeli

ng of her soft and pliant body in his arms; he couldn't help feeling arou

sed as her sweet scent enveloped him. They hadn't known each other long,

but he'd unknowingly

started to fall for the vivacious woman. That was why he'd been so anxiou

s when he heard about her being abducted. It was also why he'd devastated

the Hummer family.

At this moment, Hummer Villa was in a mess. Dustin had crashed the place

and slaughtered their men with a single blade, even crippling Joshua, who

was the Hummer family's pride and joy. The

Hummer family's dignity and arrogance had been flung to the ground and re

peatedly stomped on.

"Dad, I'm crippled I'm crippled!" Joshua howled as he lay in bed. With hi

s core shattered and cultivation destroyed, his life was over.

"Josh, don't panic. I'll immediately have our men search for a miracle do

ctor. I guarantee I'll spare no expense and pay any price to have you cur

ed!" Edwin said.

Jade nodded vigorously. "He's right, Josh.

You'll definitely recover from this! The Grant family has an abundance of

rare medicines. I'm sure they'll help to restore your core!"

"A full recovery isn't the only thing I want–

I also want to get revenge! I want that Rhys brat to

pay for this!" Joshua snarled.

"Don't worry, I've already informed Mark about this. He'll be here in no

time. That brat will be dead meat when

Mark arrives!" Jade said.

"Mark?" A trace of hope flashed in Joshua's eyes at this. "No

matter how powerful that brat is, he's no match for Mark!" Joshua had onl

y achieved divinity a few days ago. He'd yet to fully adapt to this chang

e, and his foundation had been shaky. That was why he could only manifest

50 to 60 percent of

his abilities. Marcus Kent, on the other hand, had already achieved divin

ity three years ago and had even ranked among the Heavenly Immortals. He

was more than enough to deal with Dustin.

"Killing him swiftly would be letting him off easy. I say we go

after everyone related to him so that he can see what it's like to be pub

lic enemy number one!" Tina spat.

"You're right. Issue an order for everyone to focus on catching Dustin an

d his posse. Whoever brings me his

head on a platter will receive a reward of a billion dollars!" Edwin comm

anded. With that, everyone in the

Hummer family got to work. As the word spread, everyone was raring to

go, especially when they heard about

the reward.

At Park Place.

Jessica paced the living room, looking worried. Ruth

also fidgeted restlessly, obviously anxious. Quentin was

the only one who looked unruffled. In truth, he'd been delighted by the n

ews of Natasha's abduction. If

anything were to happen to her, there was a high chance of him taking ove

r the company. Of course, in a best-

case scenario, both Dustin and Natasha would die at Hummer Villa. That w

ay, Quentin would finally have

gotten his revenge!

"Mrs. Harmon!" The butler ran into the living room.

"So? Is there any news on Natasha?" Jessica's heart leaped to her throat.

Though she believed the Hummers wouldn't

do anything rash, she couldn't be absolutely sure.

"The shadow

guards just sent word back that Ms. Harmon's been rescued. She's a little

roughed up but is fine

as a whole," the butler said.

"That's great!" Jessica heaved a sigh of relief, looking joyful.

"I knew she'd be fine! How could anything happen to her?" Ruth laughed.

Quentin gnashed his teeth, looking pissed. He'd stuck around for so long

to receive such terrible news–

what was wrong with the Hummer family? How weak could they be, allowing N

atasha to get away so easily?

"As expected, we made the right choice by mobilizing the shadow guards. O

therwise, this rescue mission

wouldn't have been so successful." Jessica smiled.

"Mrs. Harmon, the shadow guards weren't the ones who rescued Ms. Harmon,"

The butler's expression

Chapter 265

became a little odd.

"Who else could it be? Don't tell me the Hummers voluntarily let her go."

"The Hummers didn't free her of their own volition, and neither

did the shadow guards

contribute to rescuing Ms. Harmon," the butler said. "Mr. Dustin Rhys was

the one who singlehandedly saved her. He slaughtered Darkwrath, Lightwra

th, Judge, and the Hummer family's elite army. No one in the Hummer famil

y was a match for him!"

His words dumbfounded Jessica and the others. Dustin had singlehandedly d

efeated so many people? Was he truly human?
