“Such arrogance!” An elderly physician from one of the rooms stood up as his face darkened. “You don’t respect the Williams family? You must have a powerful background, right? Pray tell, who are you to say such things?!” That physician took a few steps forward and looked Dustin in the eye. His presence was intimidating. “Dr. Lewis,” Amara said politely. “This is Dustin Fox, once an orphan adopted by us. Due to certain reasons, he was kicked out of the family. Since then, he has had a grudge against us and wants revenge. He came here today to cause trouble and to ruin everyone’s chance to meet the Medical Sage. “I truly regret that we had such a person in our family. My apologies to all of you.” Amara apologized to all the physicians. “Miss Amara, this isn’t your fault. You don’t have to be responsible for this arrogant brat’s mistakes,” a physician said. “You ignorant fool, how dare you come here to cause trouble?! The audacity!” “Chase him out! This is an important event
“Damn it!” “That didn’t work either…” A few more top grade physicians stepped forward to try. However, they were unable to cure Elijah. If they tried brute force and fed him more pills and painkillers, they might end up hurting Elijah even more, just like when Dr. Lewis had tried. The physicians fell silent and no longer dared to talk about how to treat Elijah. Just as Dustin had said, no one could save Elijah. Even though it was just nerve damage, none of the physicians could do anything about it. Elijah’s face turned paler, and his breathing grew ragged. Amara and Delia felt very anxious, and their faces turned ashen. “Is there really no one who can save Elijah?” They refused to believe it. Dustin was supposed to be worthless trash! How was he able to injure Elijah so badly to the point that these physicians were unable to do anything to help him? When she saw that Elijah was barely clinging to life, Amara finally blew up and shouted, “Stop!” They could no
“Stand up, Delia,” Dustin said coldly. “Mr. Foxtin, you’ve finally forgiven me?” Delia was delighted. “You’re no longer my student. Don’t go around saying that I’m your teacher again!” Dustin’s words made her smile freeze on her face. “But why?!” she cried out. Why was he still unwilling to forgive her? What had she done wrong? “You’re not worthy of it!” Dustin snapped impatiently. Delia swayed and staggered back a few steps. Amara held her steady. Delia could not accept this. Meanwhile, Amara could not understand it either. She had asked Delia about it plenty of times, but they could not figure out what Delia had done to make Foxtin mad. It was as if the Medical Sage had suddenly turned against them without a reason. “Since there are plenty of physicians here, I’ll say this once more,” Dustin said coldly. “Delia Wyatt, the fourth daughter of the Wyatt family, is no longer my student and has not been one for a long time. From this moment, I’m cutting all ties w
Dustin never imagined that Amara would end up begging on her knees before him so soon. Apparently, she was willing to set everything aside to save Elijah. Dustin knew very clearly how proud Amara was. He was surprised. “What a loving sister you are,” Dustin said mockingly. He had been with the Wyatt family for more than ten years and had been at the sisters’ beck and call at all times. He was practically a slave back then. He had sacrificed so much, but none of them had ever treated him like a person. Elijah had only been found and brought home recently, but Amara was ready to abandon her dignity to beg Dustin for him. “Someone who has given more than ten years of his life to serve the Wyatt family, and a blood relative that you only just met… Are they really so different?” Dustin asked. Amara did not quite understand why Foxtin would ask such a thing. Did Foxtin know Dustin? “No matter how much an outsider contributes to the family, he always remains an outsider.
“How did it go?” Delia’s sisters asked her the second she got home. “Dustin doesn’t know what’s good for him! He outright refused to tell me how to treat Eli!” Delia said angrily. “Is this Dustin’s way of seeking revenge against the Wyatt family? What a joke! He’d rather give up his life than make a deal with us?” Elisa snickered. “Then, he can go to hell,” Amara said nonchalantly. “By this time, Alvin should be on the way to the Langley family villa with his men. There are many people still in this world who can put Dustin in his place!” … In the dark of night, a motorcade was driving along the road. One of Alvin’s hands was bandaged, while the other hung in a sling before his chest. He sat in the backseat of the car in the lead with a grim face. He was the eldest son of the Williams family of Honora. He had graduated from one of Lovellia’s top medical schools and further studied medicine under a famous physician. He had come to Rivenesco with his teacher and hoped t
Fresh blood spilled freely that night. Men lay on the ground and breathed their last. Alvin looked on with an expression of pure disbelief. Ever since the Williams family’s Blackguard was established, it had never failed in anything. Everyone knew that they were all-powerful killers with terrifying skills. Yet, the Blackguard faced a formidable enemy tonight. At first contact, about eight men of the Blackguard lost their lives. Their corpses lay lifeless on the ground. Alvin’s arrogance and confidence vanished. A feeling of terror sent shockwaves through his heart. The Blackguard was losing before the enemy! In the blink of an eye, nearly a third of their number had been wiped out… As for Dustin and his men, none of them suffered so much as a scratch! Alvin could not believe his own eyes. Dustin’s men did not seem human! They were like demons. When they went on a rampage, the terror they inspired made Alvin feel like his soul had left his body. What kind of
“Have you found out anything?” In the Wyatt family villa, Amara frowned. After finding out that the Williams family’s motorcade had gotten into trouble, she sent someone to investigate the matter. “What? You don’t know? What the hell do I pay you for?” Amara roared when the men she had sent had found nothing. There were no updates on why Alvin and his Blackguard had suddenly disappeared on their way to confront Dustin. “What about Dustin? What’s going on at the Langley family villa?” Amara asked. “He hasn’t left. He’s been in the villa this whole time,” the man said. “What in the world is going on?” The Wyatt sisters were perplexed. The Williams family was one of Honora’s wealthiest families. Their Blackguard was exceptionally skilled. What kind of person could make them disappear without a trace? “That Dustin’s really lucky!” Elisa said hatefully. “Yeah, he’s lucky to be alive this time!” As the sisters fumed, Amara got a call. “Mom, you’re back!” Amara was
“The present me doesn’t owe anything to anyone of the Wyatt family.” After saying that, Dustin boldly walked out of the villa. This way, he was bringing the past to a close. As for what came next, those would be dealt with as they came. Lydia was silent as she quietly watched Dustin leave. “Mother, Dustin has become too arrogant! We can’t let him go!” “That’s right! Eli is still suffering, and only Dustin can treat him!” “We should lock him up and torture him!” The Wyatt sisters complained once Dustin left. “Are you trying to teach me how to make decisions?” Lydia asked with a cold face. The sisters immediately fell silent. Lydia clapped once. There was a whoosh of air, and a black shadow materialized. The man knelt on one knee before Lydia. “Shadow One, ready for orders!” the man said respectfully. “Shadow!” The Wyatt sisters were shocked. This was a secret they had only heard about. The Shadows were the Wyatt family’s secret force. They had never seen t
In the past, Dustin could only stand beside Patricia since he was not even offered a seat. After a few minutes, Dustin finally put his phone down. “What can I do for you?” Dustin asked despite knowing why they had come here. “Dustin, you’re impressive! I don’t know how you earned the Swansong Group’s approval. They value you so much… even more than us,” Zack said with a smile. “We underestimated you.” “Well, now you should see me differently,” Dustin said with a smile. “I do see you differently now,” Zack said with a meaningful look. Dustin just smiled and did not respond. “I’ll cut to the chase. Since the Swansong Group only wants you, you’re the only one who can handle this project. I’ll give you back all the authority. Go sign the contract with them,” Zack said seriously. But Dustin shook his head. “What do you want? Just say it,” Zack said straightforwardly. “I brought this great project to the Yeager family, but I got no credit and lost all my rights. Honestly,
Bam! In the Yeager family villa’s living room, Zack angrily threw a teacup on the floor and shattered it. Alex, who was kneeling, flinched in fear. “Did Dustin really say that?” Zack asked Alex darkly. “Absolutely!” Alex quickly said. “Grandpa, I sincerely asked Dustin to come back. I even apologized to him, but he completely ignored it. He cursed us and said that even if you went to ask him personally, he’d still have to think about whether or not to come back.” Alex’s exaggerated words made the Yeager family members angry. “He’s gone too far this time! Just because of a little luck, he thinks he’s all that! Hmph! What an ungrateful person!” “He is just someone with no family or status! How dare he act so arrogant with us! He’s ungrateful!” “A clueless person like him should just disappear!” Everyone shouted angrily. After all the shouting, everyone went quiet. What could they do? The success of the 1-billion-dollar project was at stake. What could they really do t
“Are you serious?” Patricia’s eyes widened in surprise. She could hardly believe it. Dustin was right. The Yeager family did send someone to take him back. Of all the people, Alex, who hated them the most, had to swallow his pride and come in person. What was going on? Patricia was shocked but also a little flattered. She glanced at Dustin, who was still focused on his game. Had he really seen this coming? ‘There’s no way the elders would ever lower themselves to ask Dustin to come back. Something must have happened,’ she thought. Being quick-witted, she quickly sensed that there was more to the story. “Come in.” She let Alex step inside. Alex looked at Dustin, but Dustin kept playing his game without even glancing at him. It was obvious he was ignoring him. Alex was furious, but no matter how much he hated this, he had to hold it in. “Dustin, Grandpa wants me to tell you that you’re getting the project back. He wants you to go to Mayhill and sign the contract ri
After leaving Mayhill, Zack angrily slammed his cane on the ground. The Yeager family stood silently. They were too afraid to speak. As the patriarch of the family, Zack was utterly humiliated today. The way the representatives of the Swansong Group treated him crushed his dignity. What hurt even more was that he could not even argue back. And all of this was because of Dustin. He was someone they had always ignored and looked down on. The Yeager family members were still in shock. They struggled to understand how Dustin had so much power. Zack shook with anger and said coldly, “Dustin, you sure are something!” He never imagined Dustin could cause him so much trouble. He had started to see Dustin in a new light. “Dad, should we go find Dustin?” someone asked cautiously. “Of course…” Zack raised an eyebrow and said, “We can’t give up on this project. “As for Dustin, he just got lucky and managed to win over the Swansong Group. He isn’t that important. We can give the
“Yes, that is me.” Zack lowered his head. He did not dare act pridefully in front of such an important person. “I sincerely apologize. My grandson offended you earlier and made you upset. That’s why I brought my family here to apologize,” Zack said carefully. “I also wanted to discuss the contract.” “You? Discuss the contract?” The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow. “Yes, I, Zack Yeager, patriarch of the Yeager family, will personally discuss it with you,” Zack said. The man suddenly let out a cold chuckle and looked at Zack with a mocking gaze. “Zack, right? Who do you think you are? Do you really think you’re worthy of talking to me?” The Yeager family members’ faces changed instantly upon hearing his words. No one expected such blatant disrespect. They were shocked and confused. Zack had shown up personally, but the representatives of the Swansong Group still did not take them seriously. They treated Zack like he was nothing. The representatives of the Swansong
The Yeager family members gathered in the living room. “By now, Alex should have signed the contract with the Swansong Group,” Damien said. “If everything goes well, our family’s future will be brighter than ever! Partnering with the Swansong Group is a huge opportunity,” Zack said with a smile. “Yeah, I can’t believe we got this lucky!” Everyone was happy and excited for what was ahead. Thud! Thud! Suddenly, a muddy figure burst in from outside and fell to the floor. “Who are you?” The Yeager family members jumped in shock. When they saw who it was, their faces were filled with surprise. “Alex? Why do you look like this? What happened?” Zack asked. “Grandpa…” Alex called out, then suddenly started crying. Zack frowned. He sensed bad news. “Stop crying! Tell me what happened! What about the contract? Did you sign it?” “Grandpa, the Swansong Group refused to sign it with me. They looked down on me and said I wasn’t worthy,” Alex said. He felt humiliated. “Wha
The middle-aged man’s face immediately changed, and he shouted, “What did you say?!” Alex was shocked by his reaction. He felt nervous. He was not sure what had gone wrong. “You kicked Mr. Fox out? How dare you treat him like that?! You… Argh!” The man was furious, and his face twisted in anger. Alex was scared by his reaction. He did not understand why the representatives of the Swansong Group were so upset about Dustin being replaced. After all, Dustin was just the surviving descendant of the Fox family. Why would such a small thing make such important people so angry? What was Dustin even worth? “Please calm down,” Alex said humbly. “I’m the highest-ranking member of the third-generation descendants of the Yeager family. I’m here to sign the contract with you in complete sincerity.” “You?” The man looked at Alex coldly and sneered. “Who are you? Do you really think you can even talk to me?” “I…” Alex was left speechless. He could see how much the man looked down
The sky was gray today, with light rain. But no matter how bad the weather was, the Yeager family was too excited to care. Everyone had gathered together, and their faces were full of joy and excitement. Today, they were signing a contract with the Swansong Group. Alex held the contract proudly. Zack patted Alex’s shoulder and said hopefully, “Alex, our family’s future depends on you!” Everyone looked at Alex. This deal was a huge opportunity for the Yeager family. It could make them twice as powerful. “Grandpa, don’t worry! I won’t let anyone down. I’ll make sure everything goes smoothly!” Alex promised confidently. He was overjoyed and had been feeling great since yesterday. After all, he had taken this opportunity and credit away from Dustin. Just thinking about how Dustin had no choice but to accept it made Alex happier. “It’s just signing a contract. How hard can it be?” Alex was not worried at all. Dustin had already done all the negotiations. All Alex neede
“Alex, I’m putting you in charge of the Mayhill development project. Make sure you handle it well.” Zack publicly announced that Alex would be in charge of the big project. It was no surprise, as Alex was his favorite grandson. “Got it, Grandpa. Don’t worry, I’ll do it right and won’t let you down!” Alex patted his chest and promised. He was thrilled. He did not expect Dustin’s hard work to end up benefiting him. It was a huge surprise. The more he saw Dustin’s angry face, the happier he felt. The Yeager family members watched Dustin with cold eyes and gloated. Alex was happy and looked at Dustin with mockery. “This isn’t fair!” Patricia yelled. “Why should Alex take the credit for a deal Dustin made? Aren’t you ashamed of yourselves?” “Enough!” Zack shouted. “Patricia, know your place! How dare you speak like that to your elders?” someone yelled at her. “Patricia, the Yeager family has done a lot for you and your mom over the years. You should be more respectful
