Ninth grade fighters were rare even in Lord Barbenheim’s forces. Such people were considered first-class elites. Hugh Howard’s death exceeded Lord Barbenheim’s expectations, but after a moment, he smiled meaningfully. “Seems like Lucas finally found a worthy student.” The Wyatt sisters did not dare make a sound. Dustin was slaughtering Lord Barbenheim’s soldiers in the Wyatt family villa. They were worried that Lord Barbenheim would flatten the place to the ground in response. The Wyatt family was weak at the moment and could not fight against him. Soon, they heard footsteps approaching. Dustin slowly walked in with an indifferent face. Lord Barbenheim stared at him without emotion, and Dustin returned his gaze just as coolly. Lord Barbenheim might make people tremble with his intimidating presence, but that was useless against Dustin. “Dustin, how dare you?! Why aren’t you addressing Lord Barbenheim?!” Amara took a step forward and snapped at Dustin. They were
But with Lord Barbenheim’s status, they could not stop him even if they wanted to. Still, when they thought about how they had fawned all over him just moments ago, they felt like fools. “Tell me. Who is in possession of the treasure? Or rather, where is it hidden?” Lord Barbenheim got up and smiled. Of course, he would look for his missing son, but the Wyatt family’s treasure was more important to him than Alvin. “I intend to get that treasure today, even if it means flattening this place to the ground and spilling all of your blood.” The Wyatt sisters panicked. “Your Highness, you’re the guardian of Grayvale! If word of this gets out, it’ll be a huge blow to your reputation!” Amara said tentatively. Lord Barbenheim just smiled. “If I flatten this place to the ground, make sure there are no survivors and leave no witnesses so that no one can talk about it,” he instructed his soldiers. The Wyatt sisters’ faces turned sour. Lord Barbenheim had the final say in Grayvale
“Looks like this is really Lucas Wyatt’s ashes.” Lord Barbenheim smiled when he saw their reactions. Then, he flicked his arm. The urn left his grasp and fell to the floor. The Wyatt sisters panicked. Dustin’s face froze, and he moved in a flash. He was determined to reach the urn as fast as possible to prevent the ashes from spilling onto the floor. With his speed, even though he was over thirty feet away, he could have made it in time. But just as he neared Lord Barbenheim, he heard a loud bang and saw a knife flying straight to his heart. Dustin had to parry it. The urn crashed on the floor. Crash! It shattered to pieces, and the ashes spilled all over the floor. “Dad!” the Wyatt sisters cried out. Dustin’s face was murderous. He did not care about anyone in the Wyatt family aside from Lucas, who had raised him. He was a father and teacher to Dustin. He was the only person who had shown Dustin kindness in the Wyatt family. Dustin would always honor Luc
“You ignorant fool!” The old man did not see Dustin as a threat because he was a rare sovereign grade fighter! He was one of the best fighters serving under Lord Barbenheim. With his strength as a sovereign grade fighter, he looked down on countless other fighters. That was why he thought Dustin was not a threat to him. After all, he was young. No matter how strong Dustin was, he could not possibly be stronger than him. Which was why when Dustin threw a punch at him, the old man remained composed. He pushed his palm forward gently. He thought that much force was enough to break Dustin’s bones and injure him badly. Their hands collided in an instant. Two huge forces clashed. The old man’s face changed. The power he felt on his palm was overwhelming and unyielding. It could destroy everything in its wake. It was terrifying. The old man’s face changed, and he took several steps back till he crashed into the door and broke it. He tasted blood in his mouth. He wanted t
Lord Barbenheim’s face was grim. When he saw that Ivan was dead, he had to admit that he had made a mistake. Lucas’s sole student seemed to have surpassed Lucas himself. Dustin walked to the living room. With each step he took, his murderous desire intensified. By the time he got into the living room, his murderous rage was so intense that it shocked Lord Barbenheim. He could also give off a murderous aura and intimidate someone, but that was something he had gained after killing countless people in the war. That was why the Wyatt sisters had felt so uneasy when they saw him. After all, they were just ordinary people. Dustin’s murderous aura was stronger than his! He was just a young man. He could not have possibly killed that many people. Lord Barbenheim’s expression morphed into one of utmost seriousness. “You must definitely have the Wyatt family’s treasure,” he said with certainty. Dustin was strong. If he were Lucas, he would definitely hand over the treasure t
“Lord Barbenheim… died? Did Dustin kill him?” The Wyatt sisters stared at the scene before them in disbelief. To them, Dustin had always been a useless piece of trash, and Lord Barbenheim was a respectable person. He gained the title of the War God when he led soldiers to war, and he was famous. How could someone like that die at Dustin’s hands? The Wyatt sisters refused to believe it. “Dustin can’t have killed him! He couldn’t possibly be able to do that. Those guys might have done it!” said Elisa as she pointed at one of the Hell Guards beside Dustin. When she was outside that time, she had seen just how easily the Hell Guards had killed Lord Barbenheim’s soldiers, so she knew how strong they were. “I heard that Dad trained another force in secret, aside from the Shadows. Those men in black must be that force! To think he left them for Dustin!” Elisa said indignantly. Elisa’s words made the Wyatt sisters finally piece together what might have happened. “I don’t un
“I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it,” Dustin said icily. “Listen to yourself! You don’t even bat an eye when you lie! I’ll enjoy watching you die!” Clara sneered. None of them believed that Dustin could deal with the impending problem. The Wyatt sisters mocked him, but Dustin ignored them and continued to collect Lucas’s ashes silently. He wrapped them in a piece of cloth and cradled it to his chest before he turned to leave. “Stop! We didn’t allow you to leave yet!” The Wyatt sisters stopped him. “How could you take Dad’s ashes?! Put them down!” Dustin’s face reflected impatience. He was getting really annoyed with the Wyatt sisters. “Since you can’t protect your own father’s ashes, I’ll be protecting it,” he said icily, and his eyes turned cold. “Move!” His one shout was terrifying. The Wyatt sisters’ faces turned pale. “Dustin, you insolent b*stard! You’re at the Wyatt family villa right now! What are you going to do next? Kill us?” Amara’s face darkened
Dustin actually knew that there was a secret in the backyard of the Wyatt family villa. Lucas had mentioned it to him while he was still alive. Lucas had told him that there was a great secret hidden inside. He had also told Dustin that he was not supposed to enter the secret room without his permission. Dustin was only allowed into the first room three years after his death. Dustin had always abided by Lucas’s will and never got closer to the secret room. But the three years were up. The Wyatt sisters sneered outside the secret room. The secret room was dangerous, and they did not dare enter it. “Dustin will most likely die from the traps in the secret room,” Clara said coldly. “Even if he manages to survive out of pure luck, we wouldn’t lose anything. We’ll learn what Dad left behind. Perhaps the treasure is inside!” “Killing two birds with one stone! Clara, you’re so smart!” said Elisa as she smiled and praised her. Delia and Elisa watched Dustin enter the secret
“Does Majestic Hotel sell Ronan wine?” Dustin asked as he held onto the wine glass. “We do. Our hotel has a stock of Ronan wine. A bottle sells for at least 100 thousand dollars. The most expensive bottle could be around 700 or 800 thousand dollars,” Tucker said immediately. “The expensive ones are priced that way because they’re vintage. The most valuable among them are priceless and are only very rarely brought out for special guests. Every time this happens, I must first give my approval.” Dustin smirked. “What a coincidence. My generous friend brought three of the hotel’s bottles of rare wine as a treat for this reunion.” Tucker’s face stiffened when he heard this. He turned around and glared at Cody. He asked, “Cody, what’s going on?” Cody was shaking all over. He looked scared. “Boss, I did not disobey your orders. These bottles of wine are not from our hotel cellars,” he said in fear. “Well, that’s strange.” Dustin smiled at Marco before looking at Cody agai
At that moment, everyone was taken aback, and their minds buzzed from the sudden realization. The ballroom was blanketed in silence as everyone froze. It took a long time for them to come back to themselves. Some of their mouths dropped wide open. They were unable to speak. Some of them were staring with eyes opened wide enough for their eyeballs to fall out. Some looked like idiots. Everyone was floored. What had they just witnessed? The owner of Majestic Hotel, an important person in his own right, came running after just one call from Dustin. Plus, he was being so respectful as he begged Dustin for forgiveness for his delay… What was going on? Was this simply some kind of hallucination? How could a pig farmer that none of them respected have such influence? In this short time, everyone was shocked to the core. Their hearts nearly stopped from the surprise. None of them were spared. They could not help but be taken aback. Even Devina, who had looked down on D
Everyone in the ballroom looked at Dustin in astonishment. Cody was the manager of Majestic Hotel and was giving Dustin a chance to back out of his claims. Yet, Dustin did not take it. Worse, he implied that Cody did not have the authority to call the shots. He even wanted to see the owner of Majestic Hotel. Who did Dustin think he was? He was only a low-class pig farmer. Did he have the right to meet such an important person? Dustin could no longer be called bold. He was nothing but a fool with an overinflated ego. “Hahaha… You have nothing to say to me?” Cody laughed in rage. “That’s the first time I’ve heard something like that. I wonder how important you are that I don’t have what it takes to talk to you.” “Mr. Siegal, don’t listen to him. He’s just a pig farmer,” someone said. “A pig farmer?” Cody’s face turned cold and frightening. “How dare a mere pig farmer come to Majestic Hotel and make such accusations? This isn’t somewhere you can cause trouble!” “Dust
“What did you say?” Marco was immediately incensed when he heard what Dustin said. Everyone looked at Dustin in shock. How could Dustin say that there was something wrong with the wine that cost 800 thousand dollars? That truly stunned a lot of people. “Are you saying that this wine is fake?” Marco’s gaze was forbidding, and his posture was interrogative. “It’s not fake wine or anything,” Dustin said. “If I’m not mistaken, this wine should be from a vineyard called Bijoux Vineyard in South Lovellia. Its retail price is 1,088 dollars per bottle. It’s quite a renowned wine in Lovellia.” “You’re saying this isn’t Ronan wine?” someone asked loudly. “It’s not.” Dustin shook his head. “It’s just wine from Bijoux Vineyard in Ronan wine bottles.” “Bullsh*t!” Marco roared with a dark face. “These are genuine bottles of Ronan wine. They cost more than 800 thousand dollars! Why would I fool my friends with local wine? You’re falsely accusing me, plain and simple! “Beside
Nearby, the guests let out a round of cheers. The reunion came to a climax. “The wine already costs 800 thousand dollars, and we’re having our reunion in Majestic Hotel, too! Marco must have spent at least a million dollars on this reunion! He’s so generous!” Devina said excitedly. She desperately wanted to throw herself at Marco. During the entire reunion, the only people who kept their cool had to be Dustin and Shawna. Since Marco had brought out the renowned Ronan wine, everyone wanted a taste of it. After all, it was a luxury they would never again have the chance to savor. Smiling, Marco went to each guest and poured them a glass of wine. He felt like he was floating when he got praise and thanks from them. Soon, a lot of people had their glasses full. They tasted the wine and enjoyed it. As they did, they praised and complimented him even more. They made it sound like the wine was the nectar of the gods. It did not even matter if they were discerning wine connoisse
“Let’s go, Dustin.” Shawna did not have the patience to stay put anymore. She called for Dustin and got ready to leave. “Forget it. Please forget what happened for my sake.” Marco played the mediator when he saw that Shawna was going to leave. “We’re all ex-classmates here, so we don’t need to make things so awkward. This man only said such things because he’s drunk. Shawna, please forgive him. However, you should also control your boyfriend. If he keeps attacking people, I won’t be able to protect him.” “Aw, don’t leave, Shawna. Stay and accompany me?” Devina went over and held onto Shawna and did not let her leave. Resigned, Shawna nodded. She sat back down. Dustin was quiet when he saw that. He went to sit beside Shawna. He could only follow her lead. Meanwhile, the man Dustin had pressed to the floor was quickly pulled away by a couple of people. Although some men still had ill intentions, especially after the first of them failed, no one dared to approach Shawna
Desmond’s hurried departure with Stephanie was nothing more than a quick distraction in the reunion. Not many people noticed it. After all, Marco was the most important person at this reunion. Thus, not many people focused on what was going on with Dustin. The guests were too busy trying to suck up to Marco, so they did not have time to bother with Shawna and Dustin for the time being. Although the men were all interested in Shawna, they were in public. Plus, Dustin was there as well. Thus, they could only put aside their desires for the moment. As such, the reunion went on. After a while, some people started to get drunk. When people got drunk, they got bolder. A man came over to Dustin and Shawna with a glass of wine. He was staggering. “Shawna, it’s been a long time. Why don’t we have a drink?” the man said loudly. Shawna frowned. She wanted to ignore this drunkard. “I don’t drink,” Shawna said coolly. “How can you say that? It’s so rare for us all to meet
“Did you say Shawna’s pig farmer boyfriend is the secret boss of your company? How could that be?” Stephanie really thought that she was mistaken. She could not believe that this was true. Dustin had been mocked the second he walked into the ballroom. How could he be the boss of a huge company? Was Shawna’s boyfriend not just a useless pig farmer? How had he suddenly become the boss of a huge company? What in the world was going on? Stephanie could not figure it out. She had wanted to shame Shawna and Dustin and calling Desmond over was supposed to insult them and highlight how awesome Stephanie was in comparison to Dustin. What was going on? Stephanie was going nuts. Even so, she had an idea of what it meant to be Desmond’s boss. Dustin was worlds more superior than they were, and they did not have what it took to mock him. “Stephanie, did you say something mean to him?” Desmond’s face darkened. He was terrified that she had offended Dustin. “She didn’t say anyth
“Desmond, over here!” Stephanie waved toward a man and gestured him over. She wanted to show off her boyfriend to Shawna and Dustin. That way, she would be able to hurt Shawna and feel even superior to her. It would fulfill her fragile ego. Dustin could not help but raise an eyebrow when he saw the man walking toward them. Desmond Weaving was familiar to him. Shawna noticed Desmond as well, and her expression turned strange. She remembered when all those important people had come to visit Dustin. Some of them had brought a retinue with them, and Desmond had been one of the underlings among them. Desmond had not even dared to look up at Dustin back then. Desmond had been too nervous and had tripped before the entire gathering. Everyone laughed at him. His superior had told him off viciously and even pressured him to apologize to Dustin. Yet, Dustin had not pursued the matter. Who would have thought that they would stumble into each other here? Desmond had been happ
