An Understated Dominance Chinese

Chapter 1048

“Hmm?”

Dustin’s sudden exclamation rang out like a thunderclap, instantly seizing the attention of those around him. Three pairs of eyes turned toward him, curiosity mingled with a hint of bewilderment.

The onlookers wore expressions ranging from peculiar to flabbergasted as if they had just witnessed a magician pull off an unexpected trick.

“Hey! What on earth are you blabbering about? Who’s this ‘dying man’ you’re talking about?” Ye Lei inquired, casting an appraising glance up and down Dustin. Her face contorted into a more pronounced expression of disdain.

She couldn’t help but think, “Is this guy acting like a complete buffoon?”

“Youngster! Are you implying that Dylan Harmon is on his deathbed? Are your unkind words a result of jealousy, acknowledging his superiority?” Chen Quan raised an eyebrow suspiciously.

“Humph! If you’re incapable, that’s one thing, but having the gall to begrudge others for their talents? Truly repulsive!” Ye Lei crossed her arms, her expression dripping with contempt.

She harbored a strong aversion to individuals with petty, envious mindsets.

“Kid, if you’ve got any courage, why not say it louder? Spewing negativity behind someone’s back won’t earn you any hero points,” Chen Quan sneered.

“That’s right! If you’ve got guts, why not challenge Dylan Harmon head-on instead of skulking in the shadows? There’s no difference between that and being a coward!” Ye Lei scoffed.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Though Zilan remained silent, she couldn’t help but shake her head discreetly. She was growing increasingly weary of Dustin.

Unperturbed by their comments, Dustin reached for a wine bottle on the table and held it up, weighing it thoughtfully.

“Dylan Harmon!”

Suddenly, Dustin boomed with a commanding presence that sent ripples of astonishment through the entire gathering.

“Who dares utter my name with such audacity?!” Dylan Harmon’s head snapped in the direction of the voice, his gaze was as sharp as a blade, sweeping the area with fierce determination.

And just as all eyes turned to focus on this tense standoff, a wine bottle hurtled through the air with uncanny precision, colliding squarely with Dylan Harmon’s head.

“Bang!”

The deafening sound of the impact reverberated through the room as the wine bottle shattered, showering Dylan Harmon in crimson liquid. Stunned and unsteady, he reached up to touch his throbbing head, only to find his fingers coated in blood.

“A-ah?”

This unexpected turn of events left everyone in shock.

No one had anticipated that, amid this highly anticipated event, someone would dare to disrupt the peace within the Harmon family.

“Eh…”

At this moment, Ye Lei, Chen Quan, and Zilan stood frozen in disbelief.

Their eyes widened as if they couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed: Dustin had picked up a wine bottle and smashed it onto Dylan Harmon’s head.

The perplexing question loomed large: How could he dare?

Who was Dylan Harmon?

He was an heir of the affluent elite, a high-ranking military officer in the prestigious Tiger Leopard Cavalry, and the future rising star as a young general. He was unquestionably the cream of the crop in the entire Jiangnan region!

Daring to provoke such an influential figure—wasn’t that tantamount to courting disaster?

Did this reckless guy have a death wish?

“You… Do you dare to strike Dylan Harmon? Have you lost your mind?” Ye Lei’s voice wavered between shock and anger.

She had provoked Dustin earlier, convinced that he wouldn’t dare to speak up.

But what had just happened?

Not only had he spoken up, but he had also acted even more audaciously by smashing a wine bottle onto Dylan Harmon’s head.

“Kid! You’ve got some serious guts! You’re in deep trouble now!” Chen Quan swallowed hard, his gaze fixed on Dustin as if he were a madman.

To avoid getting embroiled in the situation, he promptly distanced himself, ensuring the Harmon family wouldn’t mistakenly associate him with the incident.

“I should’ve known better than to sit at this table.”

Zilan, observing the growing crowd of curious onlookers, couldn’t help but retreat slightly.

Her disdain for Dustin had intensified.

This guy was an unbridled troublemaker, and anyone who associated with him seemed destined for misfortune.

“Dustin! So, it’s you, young man!”

Dylan Harmon’s eyes remained locked onto Dustin, his countenance darkening by the second.

Similarly, Trent Harmon, Jacob Harmon, and their entourage wore expressions of seething anger.

On this day, Dustin had crashed the party uninvited and had caused a scene in the midst of the Harmon family’s grand event. It was as if he were delivering a resounding slap to the face of the entire Harmon family!

“Dylan Harmon! Today, I’ve come to claim your life!” Dustin proclaimed boldly, his words echoing with unwavering determination.
