Dustin was taken aback and slightly puzzled at Garrett’s sudden hostility. Considering that it was their first meeting, Dustin couldn’t fathom the reason for his animosity. Why did the guy before him have such a lofty attitude?

“Captain Wilder, have we met before?” Dustin slowly lowered his hand that had been left hanging.

“No,” Garrett said with an icy expression.

“Since we’ve never met, what makes you say that?” Dustin countered.

“I’m just concerned about Ms. Linsor.”

Garrett asserted with a self-righteous tone, “The Deadlands is extremely dangerous, and those who enter face almost certain death.

“Without considerable strength, professional knowledge, and extensive experience, ordinary people wouldn’t last a day inside.

“Ms. Linsor has paid a considerable sum to bring me here, and it’s my responsibility to ensure her safety.

“Judging by your physique and behavior, it’s evident that you’re not a professional bodyguard. So, I have serious doubts about your abilities.

“In case we come across danger in the Deadlands, I worry that you might not be able to protect Ms. Linsor and bring harm to all of us instead.”

Garrett’s words were blunt and devoid of any courtesy.
