Chapter: 649
"But what was all that just now? Did Natasha run into trouble?" he asked in a firm tone.
"Dustin, let this go. You can’t sort out this matter on your own. It’ll only implicate you. Natasha doesn’t want to drag you into the mess." Ruth let out a heavy sigh.
"How will we know if we don’t give it a try? I believe that we can overcome all the difficulties!" However, Dustin’s expression hardened when Ruth refused to open up. "Ruth Harmon, if you don’t tell me, I’ll travel to Millsburg and get to the bottom of it! Do not blame me for wreaking havoc in the Harmon family!
"Hey, how can you be so stubborn?" Dustin’s one–track mind made Ruth blow her top. "My sister didn’t tell you for your own sake. Otherwise, you’d always be at risk of a fatal disaster!"
"Hmph, I’ve been through rain and fire for years. Is there anything I haven’t encountered before? I stand by my words–if you don’t say it, I’ll go ask myself!" Dustin said resolutely.
"You" Ruth stamped her feet in fury, but she didn’t know how to rebut. After a moment, she shook her head helplessly. "It seems like my sister was right: you won’t give it a rest. I really don’t know if this is a blessing or a curse. Didn’t you say you want to go to Millsburg to see my sister? Fine. I can take you there, but you have to listen to me. You can’t act rashly! Or else my sister and I will also get dragged down with you. Got it?"
"Alright!" Dustin agreed. Right now, he only wanted to see for himself that Natasha was fine.
"Tidy up. I’ll wait for you in the car," Ruth said, then went straight to the car,
At that moment, Maximus, who’d heard the commotion, walked over. "Dustin, you’re going out?"
"Yeah, I’m going to Millsburg to get something done. I’ll probably be there for about five days. Please help take care of the home in the meantime." Dustin patted his shoulder.
"No problem! If there’s anything, just ring me anytime!" Maximus patted his chest.
"Okay." Dustin nodded. He picked up his bags, turned around, and got into the car.
With Maximus–who’d already achieved divinity–around, things should be fine in Swinton.
The car moved out quickly, making its way to Millsburg. After half a day, the car finally came to a stop in an urban village in the evening. They arrived at a small villa with a garden.
The door opened, and Ruth and Dustin alighted.
"Ms. Ruth, you’ve arrived." At that moment, a kind–looking middle–aged man walked out of the villa.
"Mr. Robinson, this is Dustin Rhys. Over the next few days, you are in charge of his meals and accommodations," Ruth said in lieu of an introduction.
"Hello, Mr. Rhys." Mr. Robinson bowed respectfully.
"Ruth, what kind of place did you bring me to?" Dustin was taken aback.
"This is the temporary lodging I arranged for you. Mr. Robinson used to work for the Harmon family and can be trusted. If you need anything, just let him know," Ruth explained.
