“Stop!”
Just as Dustin was giving Garrett a thrashing, a scream suddenly echoed from behind him.
Dustin turned around and discovered that Murong Xue had roused herself at some point.
Her small face held a mixture of shock and disbelief.
She hadn’t anticipated witnessing such a scene right after waking up.
She couldn’t fathom why Dustin would want to lay hands on her cousin.
“Brother Dustin, what are you doing?”
Murong Xue wrinkled her brow, a bit bewildered.
“Garrett has lost his way and is championing the wrong cause. I’m merely imparting a lesson on behalf of the old general to steer him from the path of harm to himself and others,” Dustin explained plainly.
“Nonsense!”
Vivian immediately interjected: “Xue’er! It was Dustin who abducted you. We came to rescue you, but he took your cousin and subjected him to this beating. Look at your cousin, the state he’s in.”
“That’s right! This man harbours ill intentions. Once we uncovered his true identity, he flew into a rage and caused harm. It’s a grave offence!” affirmed Chase Johnson.
“Brother Dustin, are they telling the truth?” Murong Xue looked astounded.
“Xue’er, do I appear to be that kind of person?” Dustin countered.
“Not at all.” Murong Xue shook her head and inquired, “But why did you want to harm Brother Garrett?” Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“Watanabe Tenming from the Golden Crow Kingdom kidnapped you and used you as leverage against me. After I dispatched the warriors from the Golden Crow Kingdom, Garrett arrived with his men.
This man, in his eagerness to curry favour with the Golden Crow Kingdom, not only shielded Watanabe Tenaki intentionally but also turned against me, heaping all the blame on my shoulders and even threatening to have me arrested.
Shouldn’t this subservient fellow be taught a lesson?”
Dustin recounted the entire ordeal in one breath, concluding with a question.
“This…” Murong Xue was momentarily speechless.
If what Dustin said was true, then her cousin had indeed gone too far.
“Xue’er! Don’t let yourself be deceived by him, he’s spinning lies!” Garrett endured the pain and shouted, “He kidnapped you, and we exposed his scandal, so he retaliated against me. This man is a hypocrite!”
Upon hearing these words, Murong Xue wavered once again.
Her cousin had always been upright with an impeccable character. Logically, it seemed implausible for him to commit an act that would tarnish his reputation.
So what really transpired?
“Xue’er, regardless of the truth, you can see it for yourself from the bodies on the ground.”
Dustin spoke calmly, “These were warriors of the Golden Crow Kingdom, the same ones who kidnapped you. I believe you might recognize a few of them. You can decide for yourself whether
they’re genuine or not.”
Hearing this, Murong Xue examined them more closely and recognized several familiar corpses.
Even though the black-clad men had their faces concealed when they abducted her, she still caught sight of the tattoos on a few of them, which matched those of the warriors before her.
Without a doubt, these Golden Crow Kingdom warriors were indeed the abductors.
“Brother Garrett, it appears these warriors from the Golden Crow Kingdom are genuinely the kidnappers. What’s going on?” Murong Xue frowned, directing her gaze at Garrett.
“Xue’er! You’re being misled!”
Garrett seemed exasperated and stated, “Can’t you see it yet? These warriors from the Golden Crow Kingdom are all Dustin’s men. He orchestrated and staged this entire performance!
He intentionally arranged for someone to abduct you and then swooped in as the saviour just to win your favour!
I’ve long seen through his flippant nature, so don’t buy into his lies!”
Upon hearing this, Dustin couldn’t help but sneer, “Garrett, you really have no shame, do you? It’s like calling black white. If you’re going to accuse me of masterminding this, what does Watanabe Tenmei behind you signify?”
He’d initially thought the other party was cunning and sly, but he hadn’t anticipated this level of shamelessness.
Spreading falsehoods with wide-open eyes.
“Hmph! Brother Tianming is the lone survivor and the sole witness!”
Garrett asserted confidently, “You paid Brother Tianming to abduct, and then silenced him with a murder. You’re a contemptible individual!”
As he spoke, he exchanged a meaningful look with Watanabe Tenaki.
