Chapter 399

Two shots were fired, but the bullets came to a halt one inch before Dustin’s body. A protective energy

sphere crystallized in the air, forming a shield against the bullet.

“What?” Edwin’s pupils wavered in shock. He was mentally prepared for Dustin’s prowess but was

greatly taken aback at how Dustin stopped the bullets in the air.

“Did you believe that you could hurt me with bullets?” Dustin shook his head.

“If I can’t hurt you with a gun, I’ll die with you!” Suddenly, Edwin pulled out the remote control for the

bomb and laughed deliriously. “Dustin Rhys, see you in hell!”

With that, he pressed the button on the control.

Meanwhile, Dahlia was on the run with James. They were some distance away from the villa before

hearing the two gunshots. They spun around and realized that Dustin had not followed after them.

“Dustin?” Losing her composure, Dahlia frantically clambered toward the villa.

“Hey! Why are you turning back? Do you want to die?” Florence quickly pulled her daughter back.

“Mom! Dustin is still in there! He might be in danger. I need to help him!” Dahlia’s heart was in her

mouth.

“And what good will that be? Sir Hummer has a gun and bombs with him. You’re running toward your

death!” Florence grabbed Dahlia tightly, refusing to let go.

“What do we do about Dustin?” Dahlia was a mess at that moment.

“He’s the one who started the trouble, so he deserves what’s coming for him! It’s none of our business!”

Florence reminded Dahlia sternly.

“Mom! What’s that nonsense? Dustin saved James just now! Can you stop being selfish?” Dahlia

furiously shook off Florence’s grip and sprinted toward the villa. At the same time, they heard a huge

explosive sound that shook the terrain. An explosion tore the villa into rubble, filling the surroundings

with billowing black smoke and blinding fires.

“Dustin?” She stared blankly at the ruins of the villa, clueless about what to do next. Could a human

possibly survive the explosion if the entire villa was reduced to rubble?

“How did that happen? How?” Dahlia, ashen–faced, looked like she was struck by lightning. Finally, she

collapsed onto the ground, wailing and crying her heart out.

“Hey, why are you howling here?” She heard a familiar voice that sent a chill down her spine. When

she looked up in astonishment, she found Dustin standing in front of her. He emerged from the rubble

unhurt.

“Are you not dead? How could that be?” Bewildered, she looked at him blankly. The impact and heat

from the explosion had melted steel. She could not figure out how a human survived the incident.

“Why are you shocked that I’m alive?” He gave her a funny look.

“You’re alive! That’s great!” Sobbing in joy, she threw herself into his embrace, wrapping her arms

tightly around his waist and refusing to let go, as though she feared he might vanish.
