It was afternoon when Dustin arrived at the Harmon estate in a hurry after getting the news. He was greeted by the sight of armed soldiers surrounding the compound. Hundreds of armed men from the elite forces of the Harmon Family guarded the entrance in what appeared to be a standoff, and both sides weren’t about to back. down.
“Harmons, I will make myself clear– hand over the suspect, or we’ll subject everyone to the same punishment! “The commander–in–charge bellowed, his full voice echoing through the compound. Behind him, the soldiers stood stiffly while holding their guns. Once the commander gave his orders, these soldiers would shoot mercilessly.
“What’s all this about?” Dustin frowned at the violent confrontation. He wondered how the Harmons got involved with the military.
“Sir, what calls for the mobilization of these forces?” Dustin went up to him and questioned.
“I was ordered to capture the suspect. Unrelated personnel please leave the grounds right now!” The commander barked in his face.
“Mr. Rhys, you’re here! Please, come on in!” Jack, the butler, immediately spotted Dustin and asked that the elite forces make way for Dustin to enter. The crowd parted before swiftly closing up the path again after Dustin made his way into the building.
“Listen up, people in there! I’ll give you half an hour. If you refuse to hand the suspect over, do not blame us for
forcing our way in there!” The commander gave his final warning, but the elite forces did not budge at all, even
if they had to risk death.
“Mr. Rhys, Ms. Harmon is in the meeting room. Please come with me.” Jack ignored the commander’s threats and led the way. A perplexed Dustin followed closely behind him.
The meeting room of the Harmon estate was filled to the brim. The core members of the family convened at
the venue. They were whispering to each other.
Meanwhile, Trent Harmon sighed with a troubled expression while Jacob Harmon paced the room. apprehensively. Natasha and a few others stayed by the side of an unconscious Hector Harmon.
“Natasha, what’s wrong?” Dustin showed up in the room with a solemn look.
“Dustin, you’ve arrived at the right time! Please check on my dad!” Natasha’s face lit up, and she frantically
pulled Dustin over to a pale and sweaty Hector, who had blood stains on his outfit.
Without further ado, Dustin performed a detailed checkup on Hector and announced, “Your dad is weak
because he has recently recovered from a grave illness. To top that off, he was drinking like a fish, and that’s
why he fainted. He should be fine.”
“That’s good to hear.” A relieved sigh escaped from Jessica’s lips.
“Can you wake him up?” Natasha asked.
“Yes, but I wouldn’t recommend that. It would be best to just let him rest,” Dustin replied.

“We’re running out of time! We need to wake him up, or else the family will be doomed!” Natasha did not look like she was joking.
“Is it that serious?” Eyes twitching, he immediately took three needles and inserted them into Hector’s
pressure points between the brows, near the front hairline, and right under his nose. Soon after, Hector’s eyes fluttered open.
“Dad! Do you recall what happened last night?” Natasha immediately asked.
“Last night?” Hector rubbed his head and said groggily. “Last night, it was the birthday event of the regional deputy chief, Sir Moran. I was drinking at his place. Why?”
