Please don’t take my wrongdoings toheart. | hope you can find it in you to forgive me,” Chad apologized as he slapped himself repeatedly.

“Yes, yes. Right away.” Without a moment's hesitation, Felix immediately wrote a check for twenty million dollars check andhanded it to Edmund.

“Why should you? Because he’s the leader of the Flame Dragon gang, that’s why! And because he’s defeated Terry Doyle! Isthat reason enough for you?” Felix roared.
“What? He’s the leader of the Flame Dragon gang?” Chad stood frozen in place upon hearing that. His previous defiance wasreplaced by complete awe. Though he had never met Dustin in person, he had certainly heard of him.

1/2compared to you, Mr. Rhys.” Felix smiled humbly.
“Don’t give me that. | know your background pretty well,” Dustin said. “Truth be told, the Flame Dragon gang is looking toexpand, so we’re recruiting talented individuals to join us. Would you be interested in joining?”
“Join the Flame Dragon gang?” Felix was taken aback, and it took him quite a while to react. He was the leader of the ChargingTiger gang, so how could he possibly join the Flame Dragon gang? “If you join us, I'll make you the vice leader. You'll be on parwith Nelson Horst.”
“And what about my Charging Tiger gang?” An uneasy feeling washed over Felix.“Easy, it'll be absorbed into the Flame Dragon gang. Dustin dropped a bomb.
“What?” Felix was shocked. He thought Dustin had just mentioned it as a passing comment. Who would have thought that hemeant what he said and had actually intended to absorb the entire Charging Tiger gang? Wasn’t that too much?
“What's the matter? You don’t want to?” Dustin raised an eyebrow.“Well...” Felix stuttered.
Everyone knew that it was always better to hold an important position in a relatively smaller setting rather than getting a lessinfluential role in a larger, more prominent setting. As the current leader of the Charging Tiger gang, he had absolute control overevery one of his members. It was a no-brainer that he wouldn’t want to be demoted to vice leader of the Flame Dragon gang. “Ifyou don’t want to, | won't force you
When Felix heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief. But Dustin’s next words hit him like a bolt of lightning
“I've always been someone who wins others over with my capabilities. | won’t force myself on anyone. This’s why the previousleader of the Flame Dragon gang, Harry Hall, chose to step back. So, what do you think? Do you think he made the right move?”Dustin smiled.
