Chapter: 1004
"I’m not sure. Maybe it’s something to do with our marriage." Natasha smiled coyly.
"Don’t spout nonsense." Dustin shot her a glare. Nothing was official between them yet, so how could they be talking about marriage? It definitely wasn’t going to be so soon!
"What? Do you not wish to marry me? Or is it because you still have feelings for Dahlia Nicholson? "Natasha asked, subtly probing.
Dustin cleared his throat awkwardly.
"If Mr. Harmon wants to meet me, I’m sure he has something important to discuss. We’d better go in now." Seeing that the conversation was veering into dangerous waters, Dustin swiftly pushed the door open and went in.
"Hah! Just wait till I get the chance to stake my claim on you! I’d like to see how you’ll deny my hand in marriage then!" Natasha thought to herself as she bit her lip. She followed him in soon after.
Inside the study, Hector was quietly reading a book, and the room was still brightly lit. It was obvious he hadn’t slept the entire night.
"Oh, you’re here? Have a seat." Hector put down his book and poured them each a cup of tea when he saw them enter.
"Mr. Harmon, is something the matter? Why did you call me here?" Dustin asked tentatively.
"I heard from Natasha that you gave her a call yesterday, telling her to watch out for the Dark Lord What was that about?" Hector cut straight to the point.
"It was Azalea. She gave me information that the Dark Lord is now in Millsburg. It’s highly likely that he’ll strike again during New Year’s," Dustin said solemnly.
"It’s three days away from New Year’s Eve. So you’re saying the Dark Lord will appear again in three days?" Hector seemed deep in thought.
"That’s right." Dustin nodded.
"Sounds like the Dark Lord isn’t planning on letting us have a peaceful New Year’s celebration!" Hector narrowed his eyes ever so slightly as a murderous gleam flashed in his eyes. After fighting and scheming against each other for so long, it was finally time to draw an end to things.
"How do you plan to deal with this, Mr. Harmon?" Dustin asked.
"Since the Dark Lord is drawing near, I’ll have to make arrangements in advance. Just to be prepared, I’ll spare no expense to hire skilled martial artists to guard the house," Hector declared in all seriousness.
Not only was the Dark Lord exceptionally skilled in martial art, but he was also accomplished in the mystic arts. The Harmon family’s shadow guards alone were no match for him, so he would need to hire backup. Not only will this strengthen their forces, but it would also minimize potential losses for the Harmons.
"Mr. Harmon, the Dark Lord will not act alone. He has many disciples, and each one of them possesses remarkable skills. You will have to consider that too," Dustin reminded.
"Yes, I’ll take note of that. The Harmon family will be under strict security measures for the next few days to prevent any unwanted visitors." Hector nodded.
"Dad, I remember Grandfather saying that we have a trump card. What is it?" Natasha asked out of the blue.
"It’s a person," Hector replied, his voice lowered.
"A person? Who is it?" Natasha’s curiosity was piqued.
