Chapter 56

With the Carson family's power, Michael could easily torment Dustin so much that he would die from a single onslaught.

"Dustin, you'd better come along quietly. It's a bigger crime if you resist arrest. You might be able to escape capture, but that pretty woman next to you won't. She and the whole Langley family will be considered accomplices to your crime!" Clara added. Clara knew that Dustin was a formidable fighter and could defeat even Shadow Two. The only way to hurt such a person was to threaten the people he cared about.

"I'm disappointed in you, Clara Wyatt," Dustin sald while shaking his head. "I thought you'd come up with some strategic feat, but your methods are so low."

Clara's face turned stormy.

"What's the point of saying all that?" she asked sarcastically. "You might as well think about how you're going to survive the trip to the border."

She believed that she had cornered Dustin into an impossible situation.

If Dustin resisted capture and tried to escape, his punishment would be even worse. Also, the Carson family would hunt him down. The people he cared about would be in trouble as well, and they would suffer a grim fate.

If Dustin did not try to run, he would be exiled to the border. He would die just the same on the way there. Even if he made it, the rest of his life would be agonizing. In the end, he would still die at the border with no one to even give him a simple funeral. "Arrest him!" The mayor gestured.

Someone moved forward with handcuffs to arrest Dustin.

Clara and Michael watched.

""Wait!" Dustin looked up and shouted.

"You don't have any right to argue!" the mayor said coldly.
