Chapter 265

As they walked out of Hummer Villa, Natasha, who had put up a strong front earlier, suddenly felt her knees buckle. She almost fell. Dustin quickly caught her and asked worriedly, “Are you okay? Do you feel sick?”

“No. I’m just out of strength. My knees feel like jelly.” She shook her head. She’d been on edge earlier; now that she could relax, she felt weak.

“Ms. Harmon, I’ll carry you!” Istrid stepped forward to help.

“I don’t want to inconvenience you when you’re seriously injured,” Natasha said.

“I’m fine. These injuries mean nothing.” Istrid patted her chest.

“You’re seriously injured if I say so!” Natasha’s tone became stern. She glared at Istrid.

“Huh?” Realization dawned on Istrid as she glanced at Dustin. “Oh, uh, yeah. I feel really dizzy.”

“I’ll do it.” Dustin looked helpless as he swept Natasha into his arms. She had a strong personality but was only an ordinary woman—she had to be in shock after her abduction.

“Thanks for tonight,” Natasha smiled sweetly, leaning her head against his chest. His masculine scent made her heart race. Perhaps this was what people meant by a sense of security.

“It’s no big deal. I couldn’t stand by and watch a friend in trouble, right?” Dustin smiled.

“Am I only a friend?” Natasha raised an eyebrow, looking slightly bitter.

“What else could you be?” Dustin pretended not to understand.

“Hmph! You’re so dense!” Natasha frowned and bit his shoulder. Dustin hissed in pain but didn’t retaliate. “This is my mark on you. You belong to me as long as this is here. I’ll bite you to death if you dare reject me!” She bared her teeth.

Dustin grimaced but remained silent. He savored the feel of her soft body in his arms; he couldn’t help feeling aroused by her scent. They hadn’t known each other long, but he’d unknowingly begun to fall for her. That’s why he’d been so anxious when he heard about her abduction, and why he’d devastated the Hummer family.

At that moment, Hummer Villa was in chaos. Dustin had crashed the place and slaughtered their men with a single blade, even crippling Joshua, the family’s pride and joy. The Hummer family’s dignity and arrogance had been utterly destroyed.

“Dad, I’m crippled! I’m crippled!” Joshua howled from his bed. With his core shattered and cultivation destroyed, his life was over.

“Josh, don’t panic. I’ll immediately have our men search for a miracle doctor. I guarantee I’ll spare no expense to have you cured!” Edwin said.

Jade nodded vigorously. “He’s right, Josh. You’ll definitely recover! The Grant family has an abundance of rare medicines. I’m sure they’ll help restore your core!”

“A full recovery isn’t enough—I want revenge! I want that Rhys brat to pay for this!” Joshua snarled.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already informed Mark. He’ll be here soon. That brat will be dead meat when Mark arrives!” Jade said.

“Mark?” A trace of hope flashed in Joshua’s eyes. “No matter how powerful that brat is, he’s no match for Mark!” Joshua had only achieved divinity a few days ago. His foundation was shaky, so he could only manifest 50 to 60 percent of his abilities. Marcus Kent, however, had achieved divinity three years ago and ranked among the Heavenly Immortals. He was more than enough to deal with Dustin.

“Killing him swiftly would be letting him off easy. I say we go after everyone related to him so he can see what it’s like to be public enemy number one!” Tina spat.

“You’re right. Issue an order for everyone to focus on catching Dustin and his associates. Whoever brings me his head will receive a billion-dollar reward!” Edwin commanded. The Hummer family sprang into action, eager for the reward.

At Park Place, Jessica paced, looking worried. Ruth fidgeted, clearly anxious. Quentin alone looked unruffled. In truth, he was delighted by Natasha’s abduction. If anything happened to her, he had a high chance of taking over the company. In the best-case scenario, both Dustin and Natasha would die at Hummer Villa, giving him his revenge!

“Mrs. Harmon!” The butler rushed into the living room.

“So? Any news on Natasha?” Jessica’s heart leaped into her throat. Though she believed the Hummers wouldn’t act rashly, she couldn’t be sure.

“The shadow guards reported that Ms. Harmon has been rescued. She’s a little roughed up but is otherwise fine,” the butler said.

“That’s great!” Jessica sighed in relief.

“I knew she’d be fine! How could anything happen to her?” Ruth laughed.

Quentin gnashed his teeth, furious. He’d waited so long for terrible news—what was wrong with the Hummer family? How weak could they be, letting Natasha escape so easily?

“As expected, we made the right choice by mobilizing the shadow guards. Otherwise, this rescue mission wouldn’t have been so successful,” Jessica smiled.

“Mrs. Harmon, the shadow guards didn’t rescue Ms. Harmon,” the butler’s expression changed.

“Who else could it be? Don’t tell me the Hummers voluntarily let her go.”

“The Hummers didn’t release her, and neither did the shadow guards. Mr. Dustin Rhys single-handedly saved her. He slaughtered Darkwrath, Lightwrath, Judge, and the Hummer family’s elite army. No one in the Hummer family was a match for him!” the butler said.

His words stunned Jessica and the others. Dustin had single-handedly defeated so many? Was he truly human?
