Chapter 162
Did Dustin care about the skull? As Dustin moved to confront him, Brennan's face contorted with rage.
"You made me do this!" he roared, tightening his grip to crush the skull. In an instant, Dustin vanished. A cold flash of steel followed. Brennan was holding nothing; he felt a chilling emptiness where his arm had been. He turned to see his severed arm flying through the air.
The shock was overwhelming. A chill ran up his spine. The skull fell from his hand; Dustin caught it.
"That's impossible" Brennan's face was a mask of fear and disbelief. No ordinary person could cover that distance so quickly—not even a sovereign-grade fighter! How had Dustin done it? It should have taken a fraction of a second, yet Brennan hadn't even crushed the skull. He stumbled backward, pale. The pain of his lost arm was insignificant compared to the fear and shock that gripped his heart.
"You" Fear choked his words.
Dustin placed his father's skull back in the box and handed it to the dazed Lucius. "Bring every member of the Aquila family here. Leave no one behind," he instructed Blake.
Blake, recovering from his shock, nodded and ordered his gang to comply. Soon, all the Aquila family members were assembled, facing Brennan. Despair filled his eyes. He hadn't anticipated this reversal. The Aquila family—elderly, children included—were cornered. Blake scanned the group and confirmed to Dustin that no one was missing. Brennan, never expecting to lose to Dustin, hadn't arranged for an escape.
"Leave them alone. Kill me instead!" Brennan growled.
Dustin snorted. "Did you spare anyone when you attacked the Fox family?" he demanded.
Brennan remained silent.
Drake pulled out a chair for Dustin, who sat down and looked meaningfully at Brennan. "I don't know anything!" Brennan mumbled, head bowed.
Dustin raised an eyebrow and snapped his fingers. Blake swiftly slashed down, and an Aquila family member fell, bleeding out.
Brennan trembled. His mouth twitched. "Even if you kill my family, I still can't tell you anything because I don't know anything!" His eyes burned with rage.
Dustin raised his eyebrows again. Blake swung his blade again, killing several more Aquila family members, but Brennan remained stubborn. Dustin then looked at the two children standing to the side.
"These are your eldest son's children… your grandsons, correct?" he asked coolly. "Do you want your entire family destroyed?"
Brennan finally reacted. "Are you a monster?! You're going to kill a child?!"
Dustin's face hardened. When the Fox family was destroyed, weren't the children they killed human? How dare he call Dustin a monster? He wasn't a kind man.
With a snap of his fingers, Blake took another life. Brennan cried out in rage before collapsing. The West family and the Panther Gang were shocked by Dustin's ruthlessness.
"One left," Dustin said coldly, looking at the last child.
Brennan could contain himself no longer. "I'll tell you!" he shouted.
