“Dustin, you should know where you stand. Don’t think you’re so important just because you’ve met some high–ranking people before. You’re just like salesmen who are always eyeing wealthy people.” Zoey jeered.
For some reason, there were always people who thought highly of themselves despite being nobodies.
“What the fuck are you guys talking about?” Nelson exploded before Dustin had a chance to get angry. If they had been anywhere else, the Flame Dragon Disciples would have killed these people for belittling their leader.
“Pfft! You even have bodyguards now? Are you pretending to be a big shot?” Zeke was unfazed, and he was sure that anyone following Dustin wasn’t anyone important either.
“Dustin, you should take good care of your dogs. This isn’t a place they can bark.” Gordon smirked.
“You-” “Alright, enough.” Adriana tried to calm everyone. “We’re here to watch the duel, not to fight.”
“Fine. Since Adriana is the one asking, we’ll forgive those idiotic bastards.” Gordon put on a generous font.
Still, Dustin couldn’t care less about them. He would have sent them away with a few slaps if they weren’t Natasha’s acquaintances. He wondered where they learned such vulgar behavior.
“Guys, I’m curious. Who is the leader of the Flame Dragon Gang anyway? How did he find the courage to challenge Terry Doyle?” Zoey suddenly asked.
“Well, I’ve heard about him before.” Zeke immediately chimed in. “I heard that despite his young age, he’s incredibly skilled and is Millsburg’s newest talent. He even defeated Maniac!”
“What? Even Bennet Malcom lost to him? He’s incredible!” Zoey was astonished.
Maniac was well–known in the martial arts world for his impenetrable body, and he could even fight off a hundred opponents by himself. “Of course he is! No one would simply challenge Terry Doyle like that,” Zeke stated proudly.
“I wonder if he’s a handsome fellow. I really want to get to know him,” Zoey said excitedly.
“He’s a mysterious figure who only started gaining fame recently, so although he’s popular, not many people have seen him.” Zeke shook his head.
“Actually, I know who he is,” Gordon suddenly said, adjusting his collar snobbishly.
“You know him, Gordo?” Zeke was surprised.
“I don’t just know him; we’re close acquaintances too. To tell you the truth, he only became the gang leader thanks to my help.” Gordon smiled haughtily.
“That’s surprising! I didn’t know you’d be close to someone like that. You’re awesome!” Zeke gave him a thumbs–up.
“Wow, how do you know so many people?” Zoey’s face was full of admiration.
“Oh, this is nothing.” Gordon pretended to be modest, having mastered the skill of bluffing.
“Have you gotten addicted to bragging? What does our gang leader earning his position have to do with you?” Nelson couldn’t help but retort.
“Who do you think you are to question me?” Gordon’s face darkened.
“Listen up! I’m the assistant leader of the Flame Dragon Gang, Nelson Horst!” Nelson patted himself on the chest before gesturing to Dustin. “And this is the new talent in Millsburg you’re talking about, the Flame Dragon Gang’s new leader!”
