Dahlia was trying to mediate between them. All Dustin had to do was take the opportunity to apologize and make amends. He would be able to walk away with his life.Why was he so stubborn? Was his pride more important than his life? What was he thinking?"You made things very clear, and I understand what you're trying to say. But there's one thing that you all are mistaken about."I do not fear the Forrests. The Forrests are the ones that should be afraid of me," Dustin said impassively.The onlookers laughed when they heard what Dustin said."The Forrests should be afraid of you? Hahaha! Young man, are you out of your mind? Do you even know what you're saying?""You're just an insurance agent! How dare you act arrogantly? You think too highly of yourself!""How foolish and ignorant! It seems he still isn't aware of who he's offended and where he stands."The onlookers shook their heads as they criticized Dustin, looking at him like he was an idiot."What a stubborn idiot."

Natasha sat in the front passenger seat as Dustin drove them back. Cecilia and Haley sat in the backseat."Haley, if anyone ever dares to pick on you in the future, just tell me, alright? I'll deal with them for you. Got it?"Natasha pulled out a piece of wet tissue to wipe a dirty spot off Haley's face as she spoke."Okay, got it." Haley nodded. "Haley, how about I teach you martial arts from tomorrow onwards?"Dustin persuaded earnestly. "If anyone picks on you again, you can beat them up. You can even beat them up if you feel like picking on others.""Stop saying nonsense." Natasha rolled her eyes. "Martial arts training is tough. I don't want my baby Haley to be all worn out."Besides, is it appropriate for girls to beat other people up? Wouldn't it be better for her to learn drawing or playing an instrument?""There's nothing wrong with learning a little martial arts. Haley will be able to protect herself if she ever finds herself in a dangerous situation," Dustin expla

Cecilia's face was covered in blood, and her limbs looked misshapen. Her stomach must have suffered from the impact, too, as her water broke and she bled from her stomach."Cecilia! Haley!" Dustin shouted. They were both unconscious, and neither of them responded. He quickly got out of the car. There was a loud clanging sound as he yanked the deformed car door open and pulled Cecilia and Haley out. They were both heavily injured. Dustin had no choice but to perform acupuncture on the spot to stop their bleeding. He also used his true energy to keep their condition stable. He had to keep them alive."Sir Rhys!" Several of the Kirin Gang disciples rushed up to them.They were guards that Dustin had arranged to keep Natasha safe. They had always secretly followed Natasha, so they immediately exited their car when they witnessed the accident."Quick! Send them to the hospital immediately!"Once things were under control, Dustin swiftly carried Cecilia and Haley into the guards'

That night, Dustin and Natasha sat by Haley's bedside in one of the wards of East Swinton Hospital. Their hearts ached for her as they watched her sleep.She had just gone through an operation. All her injuries had been treated and bandaged. Dustin had even performed acupuncture on her to ensure that her blood circulation was fine.Though she was no longer in danger, the shock of the accident was still traumatizing for a five-year-old child."Don't worry, Haley will be fine." Dustin held Natasha's hand to comfort her."Those beasts! They didn't even spare the child!" Natasha hissed through clenched teeth, furious."I will get to the bottom of this. I will not let whoever is behind this off!" Dustin was dead serious.Whatever he did should not implicate those around him. They had crossed a line now that both Natasha and Haley were harmed.He would not go easy on wicked people."Natasha!" Hector and Ruth rushed in. They were distraught when they saw the bandage around Natasha's

"Regarding this matter, I've already explained it to your father and Trent. The treasure map was stolen several years ago, and its whereabouts remain unknown," Hector said."Uncle Hector, it sounds suspicious if you put it that way."Dylan grabbed a banana and casually peeled it. "The treasure map is a precious item. You've deemed it more valuable than your own life. "How would you let someone steal it? Are you sure you didn't secretly hide it for yourself?""Are you doubting me? Where's your evidence?" Hector furrowed his brows."Uncle Hector, the day has eyes, and the night has ears. We all know the truth."Dylan took a bite of the banana and grinned. "As your nephew, I advise you to consider handing it over soon. Otherwise, no one can guarantee that today's events won't repeat themselves."Everybody's faces fell when they heard that. Especially Natasha, as her anger flared up. She rushed forward and grabbed Dylan's collar. "What did you just say? Are you saying you had a h
