In the face of the Hill family members‘ menacing gazes, Mike’s legs gave way as he finally sumbed


    to the pressure and fell to his knees with a thud.

    “I–It’s It’s a misunderstanding!” Mike couldn’t stop shaking and broke out in a cold sweat. “I was just


    joking. Please don’t take it to heart, everyone.”


    Patrick still had a smile stered on his face. “You mean you’re not going to p him?”


    “No, I wouldn’t dare!” Mike waved his hands. “I have a cheap mouth and just like to brag. Please


    forgive me for my insolence, and don’t find fault with me.” Mike even pped himself a few times to


    prove his sincerity.


    At that moment, Nina, who was still quite young, was also shocked into silence and was trembling


    slightly. The Hill family was such a powerful family that she wasn’t even worthy of looking at them.


    Every one of them had the right to take her life away.


    “Since you don’t have the guts to touch him, go stand at one side.” Patrick’s smile gradually


    disappeared.


    “Yes, yes. Right away.


    Mike nodded like an obedient chick, shrinking back into a corner with the rest of his


    ssmates. As his heart beat rapidly, he wondered why the prominent members of the Hill family had


    arrived


    at such a ce. He also wondered who beat Torben up to such a state.


    “Dustin. I hope you have been well.” Patrick turned toward Dustin and greeted him.


    “Patrick, why have youe today?” Dustin responded nonchntly.


    “The thing is-”


    “Let me talk to him!” Patrick was just about to exin when Autumn interrupted rudely. “Kid, you should


    be punished for hurting my son. But since the Hill family has always been kind and generous, today, I


    have decided to give you a chance to live!”


    While Patrick frowned at his words, Spring was quietly looking down, seemingly an outsider to the


    current situation. Mike and the rest of the ssmates, on the other hand, were greatly shocked by his


    revtion. They nced at Dustin as if he was a monster. He had nerves of steel to be the one to


    cripple Torben.


    “A chance?” With a smile, Dustin shook his head. “I’m curious, what kind of “chance‘ are you giving


    me?”


    “First, heal my son. Second, deliver us another bottle of medicinal wine. As long as you fulfill these two


    requirements. I won’t hold a grudge against your previous misdeeds,” Autumn said with a serious


    expression.


    *Autumn Hill, I guess you haven’t gotten the situation straight.” Dustin walked up to him slowly, his gaze


    growing increasingly dark. “The ball is in my court now. Whatever I say goes. It’s not up to you to


    decide.”


    “What?” Autumn frowned. “Are you going to fight us to the end, kid?”


    “I can if you want me to. Your son and father don’t have many days left to live anyway.”


    Autumn’s expression darkened. “Are you threatening me?”


    “So what if I am?” Dustin didn’t back down. “If you want to fight, I’m always ready. But if you’re here to


    ask for forgiveness, you should have the attitude of someone asking for forgiveness! My demand


    remains the same.


    When your son kneels in front of Mr. Robinson and apologizes, I’ll let him live. Otherwise, scram!”


    His words ignited a frenzy among the crowd. It was a great disgrace to have a direct descendant of the


    Hill family kneel before amoner.


    “God damn! Is this punk insane? How dare he ask Torben to get on his knees?”


    “What an idiot. He must be seeking death to act that wild in front of them!”


    Dustin’s bold words had made Mike and the other ssmates whisper among themselves. In their


    eyes, what


    he did was just akin to suicide.


    “You’re stepping out of line, kid!” Autumn erupted in rage.
