“Hmm?”

Dustin’s sudden exclamation rang out like a thunderclap, instantly seizing the attention of those around him. Three pairs of eyes turned toward him, curiosity mingled with a hint of bewilderment.

The onlookers wore expressions ranging from peculiar to flabbergasted as if they had just witnessed a magician pull off an unexpected trick.

“Hey! What on earth are you blabbering about? Who’s this ‘dying man’ you’re talking about?” Ye Lei inquired, casting an appraising glance up and down Dustin. Her face contorted into a more pronounced expression of disdain.

“Youngster! Are you implying that Dylan Harmon is on his deathbed? Are your unkind words a result of jealousy, acknowledging his superiority?” Chen Quan raised an eyebrow suspiciously.

“Humph! If you’re incapable, that’s one thing, but having the gall to begrudge others for their talents? Truly repulsive!” Ye Lei crossed her arms, her expression dripping with contempt.

She harbored a strong aversion to individuals with petty, envious mindsets.

“Kid, if you’ve got any courage, why not say it louder? Spewing negativity behind someone’s back won’t earn you any hero points,” Chen Quan sneered.

“That’s right! If you’ve got guts, why not challenge Dylan Harmon head-on instead of skulking in the shadows? There’s no difference between that and being a coward!” Ye Lei scoffed.
