Chapter 557

“I’m not drinking that. Get lost.” Dustin’s words were short and sweet, but he brought a deathly

hush over the hall.

All eyes were on Dylan the moment he entered. There were numerous people present who would do

anything to gain his favor, so when they witnessed Dylan offering Dustin a drink, the onlookers,

including Zoey, Gordon, and Zeke, were astonished. Jealous, even. It was definitely something worth

bragging about to have someone like Dylan offer you a drink. However, they had never expected

Dustin to actually turn him down and even arrogantly dismiss him. What was the meaning of that? Was

Dustin really so full of himself?

“What did you just say?” Not only were the onlookers surprised, but even Dylan couldn’t believe his

ears. He was a Harmon, a high–ranking commander in the Dark Panther Cavalry, and a future general!

No matter where he went, people would fawn over him and go out of their way to please him. Just a

smile from him could make someone’s day, so shouldn’t regular people feel honored

that he’d offer them a drink? How dare this rascal turn down the wine he had offered?

“Didn’t you hear me? I said, get lost,” Dustin repeated himself in the same cold manner.

“How dare you?”

“You insolent bastard!”

“You’ve crossed the line!”

The crowd was in an uproar. All those who were trying to get into Dylan’s good books stood up for him,

hurling profanities at Dustin. People who weren’t in the know might have thought they held some deep–

seated grudge against Dustin.

“Is that scoundrel out of his damn mind? How dare he speak so rudely to a commander?” Zoey was

bewildered. She had never imagined that Dustin would be so daring as to behave with such insolence

toward Dylan. He obviously held no regard for Dylan’s status and position.

“Hah! He’s going to get what he deserves for being so arrogant! I’d like to see how Dylan is going to

deal with him!” Zeke gloated gleefully at Dustin’s impending misfortune.

“What an idiot!” Gordon shook his head with a smile on his face.

Adriana remained quiet, worry creeping into her eyes. Dustin had left quite a good impression on

her, and she could tell he was a responsible and courageous man. However, she had to admit that

he had acted too rashly.

“You bastard! How dare you disrespect my superior? I’ll shoot you in the head!” An adjutant roared

furiously, it had taken him a brief moment to react.

“I don’t believe you will,” Dustin calmly replied.

“You!” The adjutant choked on his words. Had they been at the borders, he’d already have shot Dustin

many times over, but with so many civilian onlookers, he dared not act impulsively.

“Do you know who I am, punk? How dare you speak to me like that?” Dylan asked icily, a menacing

glint in his eyes. He was not going to let this scoundrel, who had just humiliated him in public, off so

easily.

“So what if I do? My answer remains the same. I’m not drinking that, so buzz off.” Dustin wasn’t

intimidated by him.

Dylan was so infuriated that he burst out laughing. “I see you want to do this the hard way, you bastard!

There has never been anyone who’s disgraced me in such a manner before. Let me make it clear, if

you don’t finish this glass of wine, there’s no way you’re walking out that door!” Dylan’s

words were clearly a threat.

“Hey, it’s an honor to have Mr. Harmon offer you a drink! If you know what’s good for you, just take

it, man!”

“That’s right! Drink up, or you’ll be sorry!”

Many of the onlookers chimed in, taking Dylan’s side.

“Dustin, my cousin has quite a nasty temper. You better drink up, or he’ll be sure to kick up a fuss,

“Kate egged him on with a mocking expression. She was dying for things to get out of hand so that

Natasha and Dylan would be at opposite ends, and she’d be able to reap the greatest benefit

out of the fiasco, which was having Dylan on her side.
