Julie was taken aback before she collected herself and stared at Dustin like he was an idiot. "Are you, now? Dustin, can you stop bluffing? Who do you think you are? The audacity to claim that you're the leader of the gang!""Dustin quit it. You need to behave." Dahlia glared at him. She didn't look convinced either. After all, Dustin had only arrived in Millsburg a few days ago. It was impossible to claim the leadership position within that time frame."Why would I lie to you about this? If you don't trust me, just go with me to the Flame Dragon Gang. I'll get your money back for you," Dustin swore."Hmph! Do you take us as fools? We'll die if we ask the gang for our money back!" Julie told him off."Whatever. How about I go to the Flame Dragon Gang headquarters alone without the two of you?" He couldn't be bothered to argue with the ladies, and he thought they were overreacting to a small issue."Wait! I'll go with you." Dahlia sprang up when she noticed that Dustin was leaving.

"What?" The man was in a state of confusion after being slapped. He held his cheek, looking lost. The other men exchanged looks of shock. No one had expected that outburst from Nelson, who one second ago was screaming about slashing the visitors. And the next second, Nelson appeared frightened, as though he saw ghosts. What was going on?"What are you doing there? Hurry up and get me the check!" Nelson gave the frozen man a nervous kick."Okay …" The man hurriedly stumbled his way back to the office. He had no clue about the situation, but one thing was for sure—Lord Horst was fearful.During the wait, Nelson went up to Dustin and squeezed an apologetic smile. "Sir Rhys, when did you arrive? You should have informed me earlier, so I could send someone to pick you up.""Sir Rhys?" Dahlia and Julie were stunned by Nelson's obsequious behavior. They looked at each other in disbelief. Why would the cruel Lord Horst of the Flame Dragon Gang act in such a humble manner after meeting Dust

"What? What do you mean he can't save his own ass?! What nonsense is that?" Julie glared at him crossly. She was annoyed with the way Dustin had poured cold water on her suggestion."If I'm not wrong, Terrence Stone will be fired by the Brooks Corporation today," Dustin proclaimed breezily."Bullshit!" Julie was irked by his prediction. "Our Terrence is good at his job. Why would he get fired?""Whether you believe it or not, it's all up to you. Anyway, Terrence Stone can't help us on the second challenge." Dustin shrugged."If he can't help, are you saying that you can do it? What a joke!" Julie stared at him icily, thinking that he was only a reckless man who shouldn't be bragging around."Sorry to tell you, but I can do what Terrence Stone can't." Dustin grinned at her."Oh, you're getting cocky now, aren't you?" Julie was burning with rage. "Dustin Rhys, I wanted to respect you, but if you're such an arrogant twat, I'll prove you wrong!" Then, she immediately made a call to

"H—how could that be? I—impossible!" Terrence's eyes were bulging with disbelief. Although he did not put much effort into the job, at least he didn't make any mistakes. On top of that, he was carefree during his time with the company because he had the backing of the higher-ups. Given his social connections, it wouldn't make sense for him to get fired. He couldn't wrap his head around the situation."Terrence, you're fired?" Julie was bug-eyed when she noticed the change in Terrence's expression. He had promised her the business contract, but how did he end up losing his job instead?"It looks like there's trouble." Dahlia furrowed her brows and appeared pensive. She had pinned her hopes on Terrence, but he wouldn't be of any help anymore."Cole Suzman, be honest—were you playing dirty behind my back?" Terrence fixed his gaze on Cole."Why would I do so when there's nothing between us? Plus, even if I wanted, I wouldn't have the power to do that. You should look at yourself for th

"How could that happen?" Terrence slumped onto the ground as he grew despondent. He did not expect Roderick Brooks, his boss, to be the subject of his wrath yesterday. Not only was he fired, but he also dragged his uncle down with him as they got kicked out of the company."You brat! What are you standing there for? Come with me to apologize to Mr. Brooks now!" The man grabbed Terrence by the hair and violently dragged him out. The whole time, a cowering Terrence didn't utter even a single word of protest."What?" Julie's jaw dropped to the ground at the sight of it. It was hard to fathom how Terrence had fallen from a place of authority and honor to one of shame."He totally deserved that! It was his fault for acting like a thug!" Cole scoffed and disappeared into his office."Your dear Terrence can't even save himself," Dustin remarked with amusement."It's all because of you and your stupid predictions! He wouldn't have been fired if it weren't for you!" Julie started to lose i
