Chapter 397

“Now! Kneel down immediately!” Edwin bellowed at Dustin.

Dustin narrowed his eyes. “What if I don’t?”

“No? Then I’ll take it out on her!” Edwin grabbed Gloria and pointed the gun at her temple. Knowing

that Dustin was powerful, he needed to get himself a human shield.

“Edwin Hummer! You’d better be careful! That’s Madam Gloria from the Nicholson Family!” Dustin’s

expression sank.

“Oh, she’s your Madam Gloria? Sounds like you care a lot about her, don’t you?” Edwin chuckled. ”

Listen to what I say if you don’t want her to die!”

“Dustin! What are you standing there for? Quick! Kneel!” Dakota urged him frantically.

“You punk! Kneel! Do you want me dead?” Gloria’s face paled.

“Madam Gloria, please be patient. I’ll save you real soon.” Dustin faked an angry expression and

challenged Edwin, “Edwin Hummer, just come at me! If you lay a finger on her, I won’t let this slip!”

“Oh, you don’t know what it means to be desperate.” Enraged, Edwin shot Gloria in one of her knees.

She yelped in pain, and her face contorted.

“That’s too much! Let her go! If not…” Dustin continued with his threats, but Edwin had already shot

Gloria in the other knee. “Kneel!”

“You rascal. Quick … Kneel, or we will make you pay!” Gloria was whimpering and wailing, drenched in

sweat from the unbearable pain.

“Edwin Hummer! You need to stop! If you kill her, no one can save you from the consequences!” Dustin

looked furious, and that only made Edwin chuckle harder.

“Is that so? If you care about her that much, I’ll give you a taste of losing your family!” Then, he pointed

the gun at Gloria’s head and pulled the trigger. The bullet shot through her head.

“You animal-” Gloria was gripped by fear, but it was too late for her to say anything. Eyes open with

indignation, her cold body fell onto the floor.

“Edwin Hummer! Your enemy is me!” Dustin acted as though he was aggrieved.

“Great! I love seeing that face!” Edwin cackled and grabbed Dakota, who was frozen in a state of

shock. “I have lots of hostages here. We can play this for as long as you want. I’ll ask you once

more–are you kneeling or not?”

“Edwin Hummer, you’re being unreasonable!” Dustin chided him. Edwin did not waste time. shooting

Dakota in the leg. “Are you going to kneel or not?”

Dakota finally realized the trouble she was in, and she wailed and yelled. Tears and snot covered. her

face as she cursed, “Dustin Rhys! I want you to kneel right now! I’m the precious daughter of the

Nicholson Family. They won’t go easy on you if I’m hurt! Kneel, now!”

“Dakota, you have to embody the spirit of a proud and upright Nicholson. You have to be an

outstanding person in this life and the afterlife! We need to fight against threats without ruining the

family’s reputation!”

“Oh, you motherfucker! Quit the nonsense. We’re in an emergency. Do you want me dead?” Dakota

screamed at Dustin but was immediately shot in the leg again. She rolled on the floor, wailing and

screaming in pain.

“I’m warning you now! You’ll make yourself a public enemy if you kill Dakota Nicholson!” Dustin hissed

in anger while Dakota’s face contorted in rage. She was about to yell at him when she noticed the

muzzle that was aiming at her. A bullet traveled through the middle of her forehead

with a bang.
