Chapter: 1055
"Mr. Niles, save me!" Hank screamed in fear.
"Stop right there!" At that moment, Niles, who had been silent the entire time, finally stood up.
"Who are you? I’m warning you to mind your own business!" Nelson’s expression was hostile.
"Hmm?" Niles’ expression darkened.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?
You must not want to live!"
"I don’t fucking care who you are!" Nelson was getting impatient.
"The audacity! He’s a prominent figure from Stonia-The Killian family’s butler!" Hank cried out.
"The Killians?" Nelson could feel his eyes twitch, and his earlier arrogance disappeared instantly.
The Killians were one of Stonia’s prestigious aristocratic families. As a family with a history spanning over a hundred years, they wielded immense power. Even the Tremendous Three of Millsburg were inferior to the Killians. After all, Stonia was the capital city. Any random, minor aristocratic family from Stonia was already leagues above any family in Millsburg, let alone an influential one like the Killians.
"Hah! Why did you go silent? Where’s all that arrogance now? I dare you to try anything with the Killian family’s butler here!" Hank’s expression twisted into a hideous sneer. He knew that few would dare to provoke the Killians.
This is between us and Hank. It’s best if the Killians stay out of it," Dustin responded calmly.
"Hey, kid, are you lecturing me?" Niles took his time lighting a cigar before taking two deep puffs. With an air of arrogance, he declared, "You seem oblivious to my status. Listen up; I’m not going to repeat myself. I am the Killian family’s butler. You ants will always remain beneath me, as I hold the power to play with your lives! I can have all of you killed with just one word! Now, I order you to immediately-"
Before Niles could finish his sentence, a thunderous noise similar to an explosion rang out. He had been sent flying, crashing heavily into a wall. His bones shattered as he spewed blood, and he was rendered unconscious on the spot.
"My ears hurt." Dustin’s expression turned frosty. Without hesitation, he sent Niles flying with a brutal kick.
"What?" Nelson and their men were dumbfounded at the sight. Hank couldn’t believe his eyes either, and he momentarily forgot about his pain. Nobody expected Dustin to act so ruthlessly without uttering a single word.
He had just kicked the Killian family’s butler and a prominent figure from Stonia! One simple word from him could end their entire lives. Most importantly, the butler represented the Killians. Humiliating their butler was akin to humiliating the family themselves. How could Dustin be so daring and seemingly unconcerned about his own life?
"Y-you… You dared harm Mr. Niles? Do you know what you just did?" Hank was scared and furious as he cried out.
"He’s just the Killians’ servant. What’s the big deal?" Dustin turned his attention back to Hank and warned coldly, "You, on the other hand, will be in big trouble if you don’t start talking.
After meeting Dustin’s icy stare, Hank felt a chill run down his spine. He was genuinely terrified at that moment To him, Dustin seemed like a madman for daring to harm Niles.
"Silent still? Cut off all his limbs," Dustin ordered once again.
"Yes, sir!" Nelson grinned as he raised his blade once more.
"Wait! I’ll talk…" Hank was terrified and surrendered immediately.
However, despite that, the steel knife still came down with a whoosh, slicing Hank’s hand off Hank’s mind went blank as he met Nelson’s twisted smile.
"You damned-!" Hank’s words were cut off by the intensity of the pain, and he lost consciousness.
"Lightly bandage up his wound. We’re heading to Nicholson Corp., Dustin ordered.
"Yes, sir." Two henchmen dragged Hank out after wrapping his arm up.
"Sir Rhys, take a look at this. Suddenly, Nelson’s sharp gaze noticed the safe on the table. After they opened it up, they saw a delicate purple vial inside.
Dustin picked it up and brought it to his nose. After a sniff, his expression betrayed his surprise.
"I didn’t expect it to be Zirtanium. Interesting."
"Zirtanium? What is that?" Nelson was curious.
"It’s a slow-acting poison, but taking it induces a comfortable and energized feeling. They won’t even feel any more pain. It’s effective in treating specific illnesses. As it is extremely rare, it is worth a fortune," Dustin explained.
"Is it really that amazing?" Nelson’s eyes lit up.
"Indeed it is, but it is still poison after all. One will get addicted easily, and it has been banned in the martial world, Dustin responded.
"What would Hank need it for?" Nelson scratched his head.
"Who knows? Let’s just hold onto it for now It’s worth a lot anyway Dustin replied nonchalantly and kept the vial in his pocket. He knew it could act as a lifeline for certain people.
In the chairman’s office at Nicholson Corp.
