Chapter: 516
“Are you looking for my dad? D–don’t worry. I’ll let you know as soon as he’s home! I’ll be your faithful hound from now on.” Joshua smiled weakly, grasping at straws.
Dustin sneered.
“You’re willing to betray your father? You’re worse than an animal.” He slowly raised his hand. holding a silver needle.
“No! You can’t kill me! My mentor is the master of Boulderthorn, and my fiancée is the Grants‘ third daughter. You’ll become their enemy if you kill me. People will keep coming for your head, and you’ll have to live in fear for the rest of your life!” Joshua roared, going berserk, his eyes bloodshot.
“You should have thought about that when you kidnapped Natasha. As for the Grants and Boulderthorn, well, I don’t care about them. So, you’ll definitely die today,” Dustin replied coldly. With a flick of his finger, the silver needle lodged itself in the space between Joshua’s forehead.
“No!” Joshua wailed with his last breath, the sound resonating in all directions.
Early the next morning, inside a mansion in Millsburg, Edwin woke up with a start from his nightmare, sweat blanketing his whole body. For some reason, his sleep had been restless, an ominous feeling constantly hovering over him.
“Sir Hummer!” One of his bodyguards barged into his room, overjoyed.
“We finally got our hands on Dr. Watkins
Substratumis. With this. Mr. Hummer will finally recover!”
“Excellent! Show me!” Edwin’s face lit up, his worries forgotten.
“Here you go, sir!” The guard brought out a jade box and opened it, revealing a glistening sheer milky white pill that emitted a sweet, relaxing scent.
“Well done. Well done, indeed!” Edwin laughed boisterously.
“This Substratumis may be expensive, but it’s definitely worth the price!”
While he was still chortling away, another bodyguard rushed into the room anxiously.
“Sir, something bad happened back home!” The guard fell to his knees, weeping.
“What?” Edwin frowned.
“We just received news from Swinton that Hummer Villa turned into a slaughterhouse last night. All of our fighters are dead, and Ms. Hummer and Mr. Hummer were both killed as well. The Hummer family is gone!”
These words struck Edwin like lightning, and the Substratumis in his hand crashed to the floor, shattering instantly.
“Son!” Edwin wailed mournfully, collapsing to the floor.
The devastated man stayed on the floor for what felt like ages. When he finally staggered to his feet, he seemed to have aged ten years, looking extremely haggard.
“Get ready. I want to head to Boulderthorn’s branch right this instant!” Edwin seethed menacingly. He no longer had anything to fear now that his children were dead. He only cared about avenging them, no matter the cost!
After an hour, in Boulderthorn’s branch’s meeting room.
“What? Joshua was killed?” A man in a green shirt shot up and roared.
“Who the hell dares to touch someone from Boulderthorn?”
