Chapter 399

Two shots were fired, but the bullets came to a halt one inch before Dust

in's body. A protective energy sphere

crystallized in the air, forming a shield against the bullet.

"What?" Edwin's pupils wavered in shock. He was mentally prepared for Dus

tin's prowess but was greatly taken aback at how Dustin stopped the bulle

ts in the air.

"Did you believe that you could hurt me with bullets?" Dustin shook his h

ead.

"If I can't hurt you with a gun, I'll die with

you!" Suddenly, Edwin pulled out the remote control for the bomb and laug

hed deliriously. "Dustin Rhys, see you in hell!"

With that, he pressed the button on the control.

Meanwhile, Dahlia was on the run with James. They were some distance away

from the villa before hearing the two gunshots. They spun around and rea

lized that Dustin had not followed after them.

"Dustin?" Losing her

composure, Dahlia frantically clambered toward the villa.

"Hey! Why are you turning back? Do you want to die?" Florence quickly pul

led her daughter back. "Mom! Dustin is still in there! He might be in dan

ger. I need to help him!" Dahlia's heart was in her mouth.

"And what good will that be? Sir Hummer has a gun and bombs with him. You

're running toward your death!" Florence grabbed Dahlia tightly, refusing

to let go.

"What do we do about Dustin?" Dahlia was a mess at that moment.

"He's the one who started the trouble, so he deserves what's coming for h

im! It's none of our business!" Florence reminded Dahlia sternly.

"Mom! What's that nonsense? Dustin saved James just now! Can you stop bei

ng selfish?" Dahlia furiously shook off Florence's grip and sprinted towa

rd the villa. At the same time, they heard a huge explosive sound that sh

ook the terrain. An explosion tore the villa into rubble, filling the sur

roundings with billowing black smoke and blinding fires.

"Dustin?" She stared blankly at the ruins of the villa, clueless about wh

at to do next. Could a human possibly survive the explosion if the entire

villa was reduced to rubble?

"How did that happen? How?" Dahlia, ashen–

faced, looked like she was struck by lightning. Finally, she collapsed on

to the ground, wailing and crying her heart out.

"Hey, why are you howling here?" She heard a familiar voice that sent a c

hill down her spine. When she looked up in astonishment, she found Dustin

standing in front of her. He emerged from the rubble unhurt.

"Are you not dead? How could that be?" Bewildered, she looked at him blan

kly. The impact and heat from the explosion had melted steel. She could n

ot figure out how a human survived the incident.

"Why are you shocked that I'm alive?" He gave her a funny look.
