Chapter 340
Looking at the groups of elites barging into the banquet hall one after another, all the guests at the scene were dumbfounded. None of them expected Dustin to have such great connections. All he did was make a call, and hundreds of people came over to assist him. Not only were there underground organizations and official armed forces, but there was also help from a business tycoon. On top of that, even the mayor of Swinton was here to back him up in person.In other words, as long as Dustin said the word, all the forces in Swinton could be under his command.That was a terrifying connection he had.No wonder he dared to be insolent in front of the Langford family. He had come prepared. Now the Langfords were not fighting against Dustin alone, but the whole of Swinton."Who is he exactly? How come he can have influence over so many forces?"The guests exchanged glances with one another, shocked at the turn of events. At that moment, the arrogant Langford family finally sensed

Kingston forced out a smile."Stop acting like we are close friends!" Adam wasn't giving Kingston any respect. "Weren't the Langfords full of themselves just minutes ago? Come on, show me how arrogant you can be!" When Kingston heard that, his expression darkened. If it had been someone else who humiliated him today, he would have flipped his lid long ago. However, he just couldn't afford to offend the man standing in front of him. "Why aren't you saying anything? Weren't you all high and mighty just now? You even had the guts to bully my friend!" Adam pointed at them and hauled them over the coals. Kingston and Luis dropped their heads, falling into silence. At the sight of that, the guests were stunned. Who would have expected that there would be a day when Kingston from the Langford family would be chewed out publicly and dared not talk back?It was indeed shocking."What are you waiting for? Kneel down and apologize to my friend now!" Adam shouted. "This ..." Kingston

It was said that the Langfords had two master-level martial artists working for them. They were an extremely powerful pair and wouldn't show up normally. It seemed that they had come over with Ethan today. Adam rubbed his chin, thinking about how to seek revenge. It wasn't easy to take the Langfords down with the pair around. "Hmph, what's so great about the God of War? He still can't do anything to the Langfords when Uncle Ethan is here," Luis muttered inwardly. There were traces of arrogance on his face. "As expected of Ethan!" Kingston held his head up, having regained his previous confidence. Although the Spanner family was powerful, the Langfords weren't weak either. Now that Ethan was around, members of the Langford family would become unrelenting. Adam turned to look at Dustin and asked, "Dustin, it seems like they are not going to let me have my way. Shall we force our way through?"As long as Dustin agreed to it, Adam would launch his attacks straightaway. After all

Looking at the hunchbacked man, who appeared as if he had zero prestige, Ethan was scared out of his wits. He dared not say anything. This man in front of him was someone noble from Stonia. Even the crowned head would have to show him respect. Hence, it wasn't exaggerating to say that Rufus could easily take their lives at will. When Dustin saw him, his expression darkened. There was fury in his eyes. "It looks like a good show is coming up." Curling up his lips, Adam gloated and immediately retreated to one side.Under the crowd's gaze, Rufus limped in, looking like someone of ordinary status. Nevertheless, the people in the hall unconsciously made room for him to walk past them. Finally, he stopped in front of Dustin. "It's been a while. I didn't expect you to have grown this much."Staring at Dustin, who was taller than him by half a head, Rufus couldn't help but part his lips and grin. His broken front teeth made him seem a little comical. "I didn't expect you to be sti

Meanwhile, Florence was frantically rummaging through the drawers and cabinets in the Nicholson Villa to pack up their things."Dahlia, quick! Go and get all the jewelry we have in the house! We can't stay in Swinton anymore. Let's quickly pack up and flee abroad for the time being. I've already bought the flight tickets. We still have several million dollars of savings and some valuables at home. Those will be enough for us to survive for a while." Florence was on tenterhooks.Dahlia's breach of promise had not only humiliated the Langfords but also offended the Glenstead Nicholsons. Even if they were in Stonia, Dahlia and the rest wouldn't be able to find a safe place to stay, let alone in a small place like Swinton. When Florence saw that Dahlia wasn't responding to her, she became even more anxious. "Dahlia! What are you waiting for? Quickly pack your stuff!" "Mom, the matter has yet to reach that extreme. We don't need to run away." Dahlia shook her head. "Alas, don't you

"Take her away!" Dakota pointed her finger at Dahlia. "Let's see who has the guts to do that!" All of a sudden, a loud and stern voice came through the door. Then, Dustin strutted in with Maximus. "Don't blame me for being merciless if you dare challenge me today!" "Dustin?" Dahlia brightened up. At the sight of him, she finally felt relieved. He had promised her that he would come back safely. Indeed, it wasn't a lie. "You … You're still alive?" Dakota's eyes widened in disbelief.She clearly saw him surrounded by the Langfords before she left the banquet hall earlier. "How could he escape from that?" Dakota thought."Do you want me to die so badly? No matter what, I am still your mom's life savior. Don't you have any sense of gratitude toward me?" Dustin replied flatly."Hmph! Stop playing dumb! I don't care how you escaped! You have offended the Langford family, and now you're going to suffer because of that!" Dakota shot daggers at him."So what if I offended the La

"We beg for your forgiveness, Ms. Nicholson!"The rest of the Langfords followed suit and kneeled down on the floor. At the sight of that, Dahlia was stunned, and so was Dakota. Even Florence, who had been whining until a moment ago, stood there in a trance. They thought the Langfords were here to seek revenge. However, it had never occurred to the Nicholsons that the Langfords would behave so humbly all of a sudden. "Ms. Nicholson, I'm sorry. I thought too highly of myself. Please forgive me!" When Luis saw that Dahlia wasn't making any responses, he began to slap his face like he was crazy, even though his cheeks were already red and swollen. Despite the pain, he dared not stop. Half an hour ago, after finding out Dustin's true identity at the banquet hall, Luis was frightened out of his wits. He thought he was doomed. Ethan even wanted to kick him out of the Langford family and cut ties with him. However, to everyone's surprise, Dustin was willing to let Luis off the ho

Dahlia shook her head fervently with a bewildered expression. "Mr. Langford, we'd be more than thankful if you didn't find any faults with us. We would never dare blame you for anything!""Exactly! Please get up, Mr. Langford. Look at you! You're bleeding so much! I'll go get you a Band-Aid!" Florence quickly went into the bedroom to get the first-aid kit."A Band-Aid?" Luis could not believe his ears. He'd severed two of his fingers, for goodness sake! What use did he have for Band-Aids?"Why don't you go to the hospital, Mr. Langford? Your bleeding doesn't seem to be stopping," Dahlia suggested cautiously."Have you forgiven me, Ms. Nicholson?" Luis asked expectantly."I guess so. As long as you don't come and bother me anymore, you're forgiven." Dahlia nodded."No problem at all! I'll make myself scarce now and never bother you again!" Luis was elated. He nodded at both Dustin and Dahlia as a sign of apology before he made a run for it with his men in tow."Hey, Mr. Langford! Your B
