Chapter 557
“I’m not drinking that. Get lost.” Dustin’s words were short and sweet, but he brought a deathly
hush over the hall.
All eyes were on Dylan the moment he entered. There were numerous people present who would do anything to gain his favor, so when they witnessed Dylan offering Dustin a drink, the onlookers, including Zoey, Gordon, and Zeke, were astonished. Jealous, even. It was definitely something worth bragging about to have someone like Dylan offer you a drink. However, they had never expected Dustin to actually turn him down and even arrogantly dismiss him. What was the meaning of that? Was Dustin really so full of himself?
“What did you just say?” Not only were the onlookers surprised, but even Dylan couldn’t believe his ears. He was a Harmon, a high–ranking commander in the Dark Panther Cavalry, and a future general! No matter where he went, people would fawn over him and go out of their way to please him. Just a smile from him could make someone’s day, so shouldn’t regular people feel honored
that he’d offer them a drink? How dare this rascal turn down the wine he had offered?
“Didn’t you hear me? I said, get lost,” Dustin repeated himself in the same cold manner.
“How dare you?”
“You insolent bastard!”
“You’ve crossed the line!”
The crowd was in an uproar. All those who were trying to get into Dylan’s good books stood up for him, hurling profanities at Dustin. People who weren’t in the know might have thought they held some deep–seated grudge against Dustin.
“Is that scoundrel out of his damn mind? How dare he speak so rudely to a commander?” Zoey was
bewildered. She had never imagined that Dustin would be so daring as to behave with such insolence toward Dylan. He obviously held no regard for Dylan’s status and position.
“Hah! He’s going to get what he deserves for being so arrogant! I’d like to see how Dylan is going to deal with him!” Zeke gloated gleefully at Dustin’s impending misfortune.
“What an idiot!” Gordon shook his head with a smile on his face.
Adriana remained quiet, worry creeping into her eyes. Dustin had left quite a good impression on
her, and she could tell he was a responsible and courageous man. However, she had to admit that
he had acted too rashly.
