Chapter 468

"More aggressive means?" Hector and the rest of the Harmons were taken ab

ack by Dustin's suggestion, and they all stared at him like he had

gone out of his mind. He wanted to use more aggressive means against the

Grants? Did he have a death wish?

"Dustin, if you have a death wish, that's all on you. Please do not impli

cate us!" Jessica said sternly with a frown. From how she saw it, her dau

ghter's rebellion and her publicly calling off the marriage were all beca

use of Dustin, so she harbored some form off resentment toward him.

"Tyler Grant isn't an ordinary person. He has the smarts and the brawns,

he's courageous and witty, and most importantly, he's got military ranks.

It would be arduous to make him back off." Hector shook his head.

"Every man has his weaknesses. As long as I grab hold of his weakness, I'

ll be able to turn the tables. We've got 10 days left. I'll make sure tha

t I smoothen everything out nicely." Dustin promised with certainty.

"Act within your means, boy. Don't push things, or you'll bring doom upon

yourself," Hector warned him gravely. He was thankful to Dustin and did

not wish to see him putting himself at risk.

"Rest assured, Mr. Harmon. I know what I'm doing." Dustin nodded.

"Dustin, why don't you stay at the Harmon villa for the next few days? I

don't think that Tyler would do anything over the top on our turl," Natas

ha suggested.

"No!" Natasha's suggestion elicited an immediate rejection from Jessica.

"It would make things immensely worse if the Grants were to find out that

Dustin is staying here!"

"Well things have already fallen apart between us. Will this make any dif

ference?" Natasha raised a brow.

"The situation as of now is still salvageable, but if you continue provok

ing Tyler, then you're putting us all in grave danger!" Jessica said ster

nly. With the power and authority the Grants possessed, they had infinite

ways of making the Harmons' lives a living hell.

"Mrs. Harmon's right. Now's not the time to be making enemies. It'd be be

st for us to keep a low profile for the next few days." Dustin nodded in

agreement. It went without saying that he did not fear the Grants, but th

at did not mean that the Harmons did not fear them too.

"What if Tyler wants to kill you?" Natasha frowned.

"Well, that'd be a wish come true! I haven't had the chance to loosen up

for the longest time! I'd welcome a punching bag." Dustin chuckled.

"Hey! I'm being serious here! This is

a grave matter!" Natasha chided hullily. The Grants weren't part of the m

artial world, so they weren't bound by all the rules of the martial world

. They had no qualms about killing

someone off.

"Don't worry about me. Stay home and wait for my good news!" Dustin soon

left after setting Natasha at ease.

Things weren't looking good for the Harmons. On the one hand, they had to

deal with the Dark Lord, and on the other, the Grants. One was hiding, a

nd the other was up on the surface. Neither one of them was easy to deal

with. It would be a challenge for him to deal with both of them alone. He

had to come up with a perfect

strategy to settle everything.

"Did I really act too impulsively today, Dad?" Natasha let out a sigh as

she watched Dustin walk away. She had thought that she could anger

Tyler into canceling the arrangement, but it turned out that not only did

her plan not work, but she had also planted Dustin in a precarious posit

ion. She was sure Tyler would find all sorts of ways to make life difficu

lt for him.

"You were pretty rash Indeed, but what's happened has happened. There's

no point dwelling on it any further. We'd be better off thinking about ho

w to deal with it." Hector said thoughtfully.

"Why don't we go to Grandpa?" Natasha asked warily.

"Why should we go to him? We, Harmons, do not need his help!" Hector's ex

pression turned cold. The usually calm and collected man suddenly lost hi

s cool as though she had brought up something sensitive which should not

have been mentioned.

Natasha dared not speak anymore when she saw how agitated her father was.

Standing by the side, Jessica sighed when she heard the conversation bet

ween them. It seemed almost impossible to bridge the gap

between the two families.

At the same time, over in the backseat of a luxurious car.
