Patrick's face darkened. "Dustin is my friend. I can vouch for him. If there's any problem, I'll take full responsibility!" "Hey! What are you all dawdling for? Come in quickly!" Seeing the group standing at the doorway, Spring urged them from inside the room. "Hmph! Kid, you better not play any tricks. I'll be watching you closely!" Torben warned before stepping aside. "Dustin, don't bother with him. Please come in," Patrick said, not wanting to waste any more time. He quickly led Dustin to the bedside. "Young guy, I heard you have the Gemiphen?" Nicholas spoke first. His eager demeanor was like that of a person who had starved for three days and finally saw a delicious feast."I do have it, but not many. They were all passed down through my ancestors," Dustin replied. He could tell from the emblem on their clothes that they were from the Stoneray Valley. To avoid trouble, he could only give such an answer. "So it's an ancestral elixir? Young guy, how many pills do you have

"What?" Torben was stunned. Holding his face, he felt confused. Shouldn't they be reprimanding Dustin at this moment? Why did his uncle slap him instead?"You useless fool! Get the hell out if you can't speak properly!" Spring's face was stern. He was clearly angry.It was supposed to be a situation where they didn't have to spend any money, but this idiot had managed to raise the price of a pill to 300 million. Dustin would probably ask for even more if they let him continue. Why punish him instead of this damned guy?"Spring, you've gone too far." Autumn frowned. Of course, he wasn't happy about his son getting slapped."You shut up too!" Spring turned around and glowered. "Father's life is hanging by a thread, and we urgently need the medicine to save him. Yet you people are still here arguing. If something happens to Father, can you afford the responsibility?" Hearing that, the father and son exchanged glances and dared not say another word.The Hill family was known for

"Oh, by the way, don't remove the silver needles from the patient's body for another three hours. That's all. Now, you can pay up."After a series of instructions, Dustin directly asked for payment. He had come to treat Paul as a favor to Patrick, but he still expected to be compensated for his services. He didn't want to make the trip for nothing. "The matter of payment is not an issue, but we need to confirm my father's condition first." Spring signaled to Nicholas with his eyes.Nicholas quickly approached and checked Paul's pulse. Instantly, his eyes widened."How is he? Is there something wrong with my father?" Everyone felt anxious upon seeing this."No, no, no ... Mr. Hill's pulse is very calm, and most of the stagnant blood in his body has been removed. The broken meridians were also remarkably repaired. It's truly amazing!" Nicholas exclaimed with delight. The combined effects of the Gemiphen and the miraculous acupuncture technique produced such astonishing results.

The check lightly landed on Torben's face with a loud smack. It didn't hurt him, but he felt utterly humiliated. "You're asking for death!" Torben instantly became furious and raised his fist to strike Dustin. Yet before he could reach Dustin, he got kicked away and fell to the ground. He ended up in a pitiful state and coughed nonstop. "I will kill you for sure!" Torben's eyes widened in rage. He forcefully tore off his clothes, revealing his muscular body covered in body hair. Then, like a raging bull, he fiercely charged toward Dustin. "Get lost!" Dustin raised his hand and slapped Torben, sending him flying.Torben let out a miserable scream and crashed to the ground, struggling to get up."How dare you hit my son?" Autumn's face turned dark as he witnessed the scene. "Guards! Take this guy down!" With his command, a group of guards dressed in sturdy clothing quickly swarmed in and surrounded Dustin."Yo

Paul's rampage left the guards severely injured. They coughed up blood and screamed in agony, yet couldn't stop him."Oh no! Grandfather has gone mad!" Torben exclaimed in shock. His gaze suddenly fell on Dustin, and he shouted, "Uncle! It's all that kid's doing! He caused Grandfather to go berserk. Quickly, capture him!""That's right! I've long seen through this kid's malicious intentions. He deliberately poisoned Father and caused Father to end up like this. He must be punished severely!" Autumn echoed."Don't accuse Dustin without evidence! I don't believe he would do such a thing!" Patrick shouted."Hmm ..." Frowning, Spring quickly approached Dustin and asked, "Young man, what's happening? Didn't you say my father was fine? Why did he lose control?""Somebody tampered with my needles." Dustin carefully observed and quickly noticed something wrong."Tampered with your needles? What do you mean?" Spring was puzzled."I inserted three silver needles in the posterior neck, low

The entire garden fell eerily silent. Everyone was stunned by the scene before them. No one had expected Dustin to be able to block Paul's punch.Not only did he block it, he didn't suffer any harm.After all, Paul was once a master of the Balerno martial arts, a grandmaster. His punches and kicks carried the power to shatter mountains and split the earth. How many people in the Hill family could contend with such a terrifying existence?"Did ... Did he just block the punch?" Torben was so shocked that his eyes widened in disbelief. In their eyes, Paul represented the pinnacle of power in Millsburg. He could kill a divine-level martial artist with a casual move.How could a doctor who came out of nowhere block a grandmaster's punch?What was going on?"Oh my god! Someone actually blocked Mr. Hill's punch! Am I seeing things?" Nicholas's mouth hung open, his jaw almost dropping to the ground. He had thought Dustin was only a genius in medicine, but he never expected Dustin to be s

"Young man, we will need your help again," Spring said."Treating your father and saving his life is not a problem, but I hope you Hills can uphold your promise and pay me the full amount of money instead of resorting to coercion, intimidation, and taking advantage of your position," Dustin said calmly. "Coercion, intimidation, taking advantage of our position? What are you talking about, young man?" Spring was puzzled. "Perhaps you should ask the two people next to you what they have done," Dustin hinted."Autumn, what's going on?" Spring frowned."Well ..." Autumn hesitated to speak. He couldn't openly bring up such embezzlement of funds."Uncle Spring, I know what's going on. Uncle Autumn and the others took it upon themselves to change Dustin's 300 million remunerations into three million without permission and even went so far as to threaten him!" Patrick said seriously."Autumn! Have you lost your mind?" Spring's face darkened. "Dustin saved our father's life. He is the

It was evening, and Dustin was sitting in the living room of Enchanting Villa, engrossed in a book, when Abigail suddenly rushed down the stairs. "Uncle! I need your help with something urgent! Will you accompany me somewhere?" Abigail leaned in, acting secretive. "Where do you want to go?" Dustin's curiosity was piqued."It's a secret. You'll find out once we get there." Abigail playfully dodged the question."If you don't tell me, I won't go." Dustin firmly declined."Well, will you come with me if I tell you?" Abigail frowned."It depends on the situation." Dustin shrugged."Alright, I'll tell you. My friend is celebrating her birthday tonight, and we've planned to have some fun together," Abigail revealed with a mischievous smile."What does your friend's birthday have to do with me? I'm not going." Dustin rolled his eyes."Hey! You're not keeping your word! You just promised me earlier!" Abigail became a bit anxious. "I said it depends on the situation. I didn't promi

Axel had no time to hesitate. He lunged forward and grabbed the overturned Dragon-Binding Net. Then, he used every ounce of his strength to pin Warrick down again."Get over here! We have to keep him restrained."As the net strained under Warrick's sheer power, Axel let out a roar and pushed his cultivation to the limit. His veins bulged and blood pounded in his ears. He threw every last bit of strength into holding Warrick down.For now, he managed to pin Warrick down, but the elite enforcement unit on the other side wasn't faring well. Warrick thrashed wildly, sending more than a dozen men swinging through the air. Some slammed into trees, while others crashed into walls. Within moments, the Dragon-Binding Net flipped over again.Several elite enforcement units tried to rush in and help, but they barely got close before getting hit by their own airborne comrades and sent flying.Against Warrick's Divine Strength, they were utterly outmatched. The regular guards didn't stand a

If Warrick had been at his peak, Axel might have been more cautious. But with Tranqurin coursing through his vein, Warrick had barely a fraction of his usual strength left. His power was still fading, and Axel wasn't about to waste the opportunity. He had to capture Warrick while he had the chance."Get the hell out of my way!"As the enforcers closed in, Warrick let out a furious roar and slammed his massive fist into the floor.With a loud explosion, the earth shook violently. The ground within dozens of yards cracked and caved in, splitting apart like a spiderweb. A powerful shockwave tore through the air, sending dirt flying and walls shattering. The entire meeting room collapsed into ruins.The elite enforcers, caught in the blast, were flung backward like ragdolls. They crashed to the ground, disoriented and battered. Even Axel was thrown back more than ten yards.Warrick panted heavily, his face pale and drenched in sweat. Forcing his internal energy into action had only

Austin's words were strong and commanding, each one landing like a thunderclap.Warrick felt the weight of his presence. His brow furrowed for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He glanced at the so-called evidence on the floor, showing no sign of panic or guilt. Instead, he said indifferently, "Your Highness, these dead men were nothing more than ants. Is this really worth making such a fuss over? I doubt you haven't killed anyone before."As the old saying went, the higher one climbed, the heavier one's purse. Warrick had clawed his way up, risking his life at every step for the sake of rising above the masses. Everyone had their own desires—some sought fame, others fortune. Some were greedy for money, some for power, and others reveled in the adoration of the masses. To achieve those things, one inevitably had to engage in shady dealings. It was an unspoken rule among officials, and Warrick saw nothing wrong with it."Ants?" Austin sneered. "Without these 'ant

The ashen-faced Huxley was dragged away. With his crimes exposed, his fate was sealed. His entire family would be implicated, and their assets would be seized.Those guilty would be punished, and even those who had merely benefited from his corruption would be held accountable. To put it bluntly, Huxley's entire family was about to be annihilated.Austin issued his next order once the bloodstains were cleaned up. "Axel, it's time to bring in the mastermind."With Huxley dealt with, the next step was to confront Warrick. Unlike Huxley, Warrick wouldn't be easy to deal with. After all, he commanded a large number of troops. If backed into a corner, he could become a major threat."Understood!" Axel responded respectfully, then turned to his subordinates. "Gather more men and come with me."Warrick had earned his prestigious position through years of fierce battles. On the battlefield, he was a one-man army, a warrior capable of taking on thousands. His strength was beyond what mos

"You bastard! With all this evidence in front of you, what do you have to say for yourself?" Austin barked."Your Highness, please let me explain…" Huxley broke out in a cold sweat, his voice trembling with panic."This is a lie. Someone's trying to frame me! I've always followed the law—how could I possibly be involved in something so vile?""The evidence is right in front of you, and you're still trying to weasel out of it?" Austin shot back. "Looks like you won't confess until death is knocking at your door."He raised his hand and ordered, "Guards, throw him into Grimhold Keep. Use whatever means necessary—let's see how long he keeps up this act.""Yes, Your Highness."A squad of enforcement team members rushed in and surrounded Huxley.Cornered, Huxley finally lost his nerve. He dropped to his knees with a thud and begged, "Your Highness, I admit I made a grave mistake."His voice cracked as he continued, "I wasn't thinking clearly at the time. Please, for the sake of my y

Night had fallen. Austin sat in the meeting room, quietly reading a book as he waited for the results of the investigation.After successfully turning Percival against his allies, it was only a matter of time before they uncovered solid evidence of Warrick and Huxley's crimes.For years, the castle had turned a blind eye to their shady dealings. After all, corruption among officials was nothing new.But this time was different. The two had secretly orchestrated Jovian's murder, a direct challenge to the authority and dignity of the royal family. Such defiance couldn't be ignored. If Austin didn't set an example, others would surely follow."Your Highness!"Axel burst into the meeting room, panting heavily. He had clearly run the whole way to avoid any delay.Austin set his book aside and asked calmly, "Well? How did it go?""Your Highness, we've completely shut down all of Warrick and Huxley's illicit operations. Every hidden network they had built over the years has also been d
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2471
At that moment, Percival truly panicked. Earlier, he had only worried about being implicated. But now, faced with such a serious accusation, he was completely caught off guard."Hmph! The evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare deny it? Do you want me to torture the truth out of you?" Austin barked."Your Highness, I'm innocent!" Percival was so terrified he was on the verge of tears. He raised his hand and swore, "If I had anything to do with Jovian's death, may I be damned for eternity.""If swearing oaths proved innocence, we wouldn't need an enforcement team," Austin said coldly. "Out of respect for your years of service to West Lucozia, I'll give you a chance to come clean and receive a lighter sentence. Tell the truth now, or I'll throw you into Grimhold Keep."At the mention of Grimhold Keep, Percival began to shake uncontrollably. Tears and snot ran down his face as he wailed, "Your Highness, I swear I didn't do anything. Who's the bastard making up these accusations?

Ten minutes later, Warrick was escorted out of Room A1 again.Axel's demeanor had completely changed since their first meeting, and he had become unusually warm."Sir Prescott, Lord Austin has concluded the investigation. It turns out this matter has nothing to do with you. We made a mistake earlier, and I apologize for any offense caused." He smiled apologetically and spoke with a humble tone."Hm?" Seeing the fawning expression on Axel's face, Warrick raised an eyebrow and looked surprised. Just moments ago, the two sides had been at each other's throats. What had caused such a sudden change?"Did you really investigate it thoroughly?" Warrick asked tentatively."Of course! According to our findings, Jovian's disappearance was the result of a personal vendetta from his enemies in Oakvale," Axel said with a straight face.He continued, "He was a tyrant and always stirring up trouble everywhere he went. He got what was coming to him. Lord Austin only launched the investigation

"After you, Sir Prescott." With one hand resting on the hilt of his sword, Axel's other hand gestured toward the door."Hmph!" Warrick shot a cold glance at Axel's subtle movement and then turned to leave the meeting room.Even if Austin had his suspicions, Warrick knew he couldn't do anything to him without concrete evidence.Axel escorted Warrick back to Room A1. After closing the door, he went to Room A2 and led Huxley to the meeting room."Your Highness, it is my privilege to stand before you." Huxley entered the meeting room with a respectful salute."Mr. Thatcher, please take a seat." Austin's face remained neutral as he gestured for Huxley to sit, then motioned for Axel to pour him a cup of tea."Do you know why I've summoned you here today?" Austin spoke calmly, and his words carried the same probing tone as earlier."Is it about Jovian's disappearance?" Huxley asked in return."Oh? It seems you're quick on the uptake." Austin raised an eyebrow. "In that case, g
