Dustin was determined to retrieve the Fox family’s martial arts manual. If the West family had something to do with the destruction of the Fox family, then he would annihilate the West family during the visit! On the way, Irene gave Dustin a quick explanation of the West family’s difficulties. It seemed that Lucius West had wandered around quite often when he was young. His upright character had offended many people in the underground. One of them was a very dangerous person. Lucius had defeated and crippled him in the past. Unexpectedly, that person made a full recovery and got even more skilled in fighting. He had come to the West family’s villa and injured Lucius critically. He had promised to be back in ten days to kill everyone in the West family… To save themselves, some seniors of the West family had gone to the Aquila family to ask for help. In their desperation, they had promised Irene’s hand in marriage to Trevor. After all, the Aquila family was powerful and
“What do you mean by that, Uncle Clark?!” Irene was outraged.“Oh, nothing! I was just saying that someone useless like you will find someone else who is just as useless!” Clark West said sarcastically. It was no secret that the two branches of the West family were always at odds. The idea of having Irene married to Trevor to save the family was also Clark’s doing. Irene had lost her father when she was very young. In the years after that, she and her mother had suffered a lot of abuse from Clark and his family. “Uncle Clark, you’re going too far!” Irene looked furious. “What? Am I wrong?” Clark scoffed. “What have you managed to accomplish throughout the years? A woman leading a family! What a joke! The only way you can contribute to the family is by marrying into the Aquila family! But you keep running off every few days. We won’t let this slide if you ruin the marriage alliance with the Aquila family!” Irene was enraged, but she did not want to vent her frustrations her
“Enough!” a middle-aged man shouted from near the bed. He was a senior of the West family and Irene’s eldest uncle. Besides Lucius, he was the one who could call the shots. Clark did not dare do anything after hearing him shout. “Connor, this punk is too arrogant! He doesn’t have any respect for the West family at all!” Clark found the whole thing very unfair. “Shut up! How much more do you want to embarrass us?” Connor yelled at him. Clark did not say anything further, but he remained outraged. “Young man, my brother was very rude to you. Please forgive him.” Connor got up and bowed to Dustin apologetically. Dustin let out a huff but did not attack. “Right now, my father is in a critical condition. Once he gets better after the treatment, we will make it up to you.” After that, Connor urged Irene to talk to Dustin. However, Irene was very worried about Lucius and did not leave the room. After a moment, someone led a middle-aged physician into the room. “Dr. P
Dustin had not intended to intervene. He did not care as long as Ryan could wake Lucius from his state. Whether Ryan managed to cure Lucius was none of his concern. However, when he saw the way Ryan planned to treat Lucius, he could no longer stay quiet. If Ryan killed Lucius, Dustin could not find out about the past. “What did you say?” Ryan glared at Dustin. He looked extremely displeased. He was a renowned top grade physician. He could not have some punk question his methods while he was trying to treat a patient. The members of the West family watched in confusion. How could this punk be so bold as to say such a thing? “No matter what you do to treat Mr. West, he will die,” Dustin said flatly. “What nonsense!” Ryan’s face darkened. He was outraged. “Do you know who I am? Do you even know who my teacher is? Who do you think you are to question me?” he spat viciously. “In all of Lovellia, no one other than the enigmatic Medical Sage has the right to ques
“Um… I…” Ryan could not even get a full sentence out. His face was pale, and he panicked. He had not expected this to happen at all. “That should not have happened… My teacher’s treatment has never failed before!” He was still very confused. To this day, he had never seen the treatment go wrong. This was the first time that the treatment… had failed. At this point, the members of the West family were crying. Connor was demanding an answer from him. Meanwhile, he was completely at a loss. He did not know how to respond. “Dr. Parker, you must give us an explanation! Save my father right now! If you don’t, I’ll bury you along with him!” Connor said threateningly. Ryan’s face twisted in anguish. He wanted to cry but could not. “He’s already dead. How am I supposed to save him?” he gasped. “What did you say?” The members of the West family glared angrily at him. They looked like they wanted to eat him alive. “Mr. Fox…” Irene suddenly had a realization. She quic
Dustin said it very casually. It was as if bringing a dead person back to life was nothing difficult. That was enough to give hope to the members of the West family. “If you have a way to do it, Mr. Fox, please save my father! The West family will forever be in your debt!” Connor said solemnly. Seeing that Clark was still standing in the corner in disdain, Connor angrily got up and dragged the other man to the floor. “If you can bring a dead man back to life, then that would be no less than a miracle! It’s impossible!” Ryan said darkly. Without explaining further, Dustin moved to the bed. Ryan huffed coldly and moved away without being asked. He did not believe that Dustin could perform miracles. He was waiting to insult Dustin after he failed. When he got close to the bedside, Dustin took out a portable electrotherapy device. He started putting the electrodes at key locations on Lucius’s body. “Electrotherapy!” Ryan’s eyes widened. Of course! But that was not
Dustin injected some sort of medicine into Lucius. In this way, he could get rid of the poison in Lucius’s body. The Life-giving Touch was a gentle cure that could get rid of poison or viruses and stabilize the heart of nearly dead patients. After a few minutes, Lucius suddenly let out a heavy breath. The ECG machine by the bed started showing a heartbeat again. “He’s alive! He was really brought back to life!” In an instant, everyone in the West family became excited and cheered. Ryan’s eyes nearly popped right out of their sockets as he stared in bewilderment. The Life-giving Touch was real! This punk had really used a mythical medical skill and limited equipment to bring a dead person back to life! As a renowned top grade physician, Ryan suddenly felt like his whole world had been turned upside down. “Amazing! This is a miracle!” The members of the West family could not stop singing Dustin’s praises. They were impressed by Dustin’s miraculous skill. Dusti
After thanking him again, the West family led Dustin to the living room for some tea. Dustin did not have time for all these niceties, so he looked straight at Irene. “I came here because of the Fox family’s martial arts manual. When are you going to hand it over to me?” he asked abruptly. When Dustin said that, every member of the West family was stunned. Connor’s face turned grim. “I knew you had some hidden agenda! So, you’re here for a martial arts manual!” Clark sniggered. “The West family doesn’t have any martial arts manuals of the Fox family. All we have is one of our own.” Dustin’s gaze turned icy. He looked at Clark levelly. “Irene, did you promise Mr. Fox something?” Connor asked. “Uncle Connor, I only promised the martial arts manual as a reward because I was desperate. I told Mr. Fox that we would give him the manual if he could save our family…” Irene said uneasily. “What’s the point of holding onto that manual if the family is destroyed?” Connor he
The Yeager family members looked at each other at a loss.What the hell was the CEO doing? Everything was so elusive and confusing. They were unhappy, but they dared not show it. While they remained silent, Dustin slowly sipped his red wine, picked up a napkin, and wiped his mouth. “No signing,” he said indifferently. The Yeager family members looked over at him.“What did you say?!” Zack yelled at him with a dark face. Why was he speaking?Did he even have the right to speak? It was an extremely important collaboration. Even if Terry was protecting him, Zack could not care less. Dustin must be out of his mind since he dared to interrupt such an important discussion. “Shut up! This isn’t your place to speak!” Percy shouted. The Yeager family members were furious. They were afraid that Dustin’s reckless words would ruin the deal. “You think just because you say, ‘no signing,’ it’ll be done? Do you think you’re the CEO of Duscia Corporation?!” Damien yelled at him. He
“What’s going on with our great-grandfather? Dustin is not even related to our family. How can he treat him better than us?”A few members of the Yeager family stood on the side awkwardly while watching Dustin and the others chatting happily. Damien whispered in dissatisfaction. They could not bear the sight of this, and they felt very resentful.“Stop talking!” Warren snapped.“Don’t worry, he won’t remain so arrogant for long. Dad favors him. So? In this society, ability speaks louder than anything else,” Zack said in a low voice. “A man who lives off an inheritance without a proper job… even if he has some luck and inheritance, he’ll squander it away in no time. Then, he’ll struggle to get by. Dad will see the truth in time.“Besides, who knows how long Dad can stay conscious? Do you really think that kid can make Dad young again? I don’t believe in such an absurd thing.“Dad is already very old. We should just go along with this for now. They’re lucky they get to hang around
Dustin did not say anything. Terry was smart indeed. Zack and the others were blinded by the lure of great benefits. A while later, some voices were heard. It meant that the guest had arrived. Percy led Adrian inside. “Dad, this is Mr. Adrian Pierce, the general manager of Duscia Corporation. We always communicated with him about the collaboration,” said Warren as an introduction.Terry nodded, and he looked closely at Adrian. “This young man is not someone ordinary.” His eyes gleamed sharply as he recognized Adrian’s extraordinary presence. Different people, depending on their status and identity, carried themselves with different temperaments. When Terry was young, he used to work in Summerdale and meet many upper-class people. Adrian’s temperament was on par with the young heirs of Summerdale. “I’m Adrian Pierce. It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Yeager.” Adrian walked to Terry and bowed respectfully.This shocked the Yeager family. Adrian had such a high status, but he
A day passed in the blink of an eye. In the evening, Dustin and Patricia drove to the Yeager family villa. When they got out of the car and walked to the entrance of the Yeager family villa, they saw Percy waiting at the door. When Percy saw them, he turned livid, and his face darkened. “Uncle Percy,” said Patricia in greeting. “Hmph! So, you still recognize me as your uncle,” said Percy coldly and glared at Patricia. Patricia remained silent. Percy glanced at Dustin. His gaze shone with hatred. Patricia used to be very obedient and never dared to go against the Yeager family members. But lately, she had become so insolent even toward the patriarch of the family. Percy thought that Dustin must have led her astray. “Today, your great-grandfather invited you over for a meal. You’d better behave at the dining table and make him happy,” Percy said. “We will,” Patricia said. “Well, why are you so stubborn then? The Yeager family has agreed to let you return, yet you in
“The Tonra family sent me here to prepare to take over Hattan. We will start from the market in Hattan before we develop the market in the south. The future profits are immensely worthwhile. I’m determined to build a huge business kingdom. “Honestly, these families in Hattan are just so-so. I don’t take them seriously at all. But Duscia Corporation is fine. You just invested a hefty 2 billion right off the bat. That’s quite impressive.” Crispin smiled. “I came from the Southwestern region. I didn’t bring many workers, so we’re lacking some manpower. You’re an expert. Why don’t you work for me? I’ll make it worth your while. How about it?” He confidently offered a job to Dustin and waited for his response. Dustin stared at him calmly. “Regardless of your background, you look quite ambitious to me, but you don’t have sufficient capabilities. Hattan has limited you. If you work for me, your future will be promising!” Adrian found that amusing. Such rich spoiled brats were
Dustin observed what was going on at the front desk on the security feed on his screen. Adrian arrived at the front desk. “Mr. Pierce, you’re here.” The receptionist nodded at Adrian, and Adrian nodded back. Crispin and the driver, Nicholas Olson, assessed Adrian. “What a self-important person the general manager of Duscia Corporation is! How dare you make Mr. Tonra wait downstairs?” Nicholas asked in displeasure. Adrian did not spare the driver a single glance. He could not be bothered to speak with an insignificant staff member. If Dustin had not given him the orders, he would have chased these two out already. “You’re the general manager of Duscia Corporation, Adrian Pierce, yes?” Crispin looked at Adrian contemptuously. “I’ve never heard of the Pierce family having a person with your name. You’re quite capable of fooling the families of Hattan so easily with the same last name.” Thinking that he had dirt on Adrian, Crispin smiled very tauntingly. “What are yo
“I find it all quite interesting. This Duscia Corporation, this fake rich kid… Let’s go take a look.” “Yes, sir.” At around 2 p.m., the Lamborghini stopped at the entrance of Duscia Corporation. The young man walked into the building with his driver. “Hello, sir. How can I help you?” the receptionist asked. “This is the son of the Tonra family of Articora. Have the person in charge of your company come and welcome him,” the driver announced loudly. “Do you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked with a smile. “What?” The young man, Crispin Tonra, immediately frowned. “What kind of receptionist are you? Haven’t you heard of the Tonra family of Articora? Mr. Tonra of the ultra-rich Tonra family doesn’t need an appointment to come to your company. Go and tell your boss about his arrival. Have the person in charge rush over here to welcome Mr. Tonra,” yelled the driver at the receptionist. “I’m sorry. The person in charge of our company is very busy. All guests mu
The great Dhillon family of Hattan was destroyed just like that. It was said that Kendall had become a useless cripple and would have to spend the rest of his days relegated to bed. He could not even move, and there was nothing that could be done to treat him. The other families in Hattan thought that it was the ultra-rich Cabello family of Summerdale that had done this. They were impressed at how powerful the Cabello family was and pitied the Dhillon family. It was true that one could not afford to offend a family like that. After spending a day at the hotel, Dustin took Patricia back to their apartment in the suburbs. The place had been cleaned up and was immaculate. All the damage from the fight had been fixed, and everything looked good as new. Patricia was a strong woman. Thus, she recovered from her ordeal very quickly. She even went to work right after. Dustin went to Duscia Corporation, and Adrian reported to him. “It’s impossible for the Dhillon family to mak
A life like that would be worse than anything. To put it crudely, it would be a luxury for Kendall to be able to kill himself. This was the consequence of daring to hurt Patricia. Dustin went to stand before Patricia and reached out to touch the red veil surrounding her. With a plop, the light burst like a bubble, and Patricia landed on the floor. “Dustin,” Patricia called. She threw herself into Dustin’s embrace. She cried softly as she held onto Dustin tightly. “You’re alright,” Dustin said comfortingly as he patted her on the back. Patricia did not speak. She clung to Dustin without letting go. She had just realized that she could not live without Dustin in her life. Before that moment, she had been so worried about Dustin and wanted him to leave without coming in. It would not have mattered if she had died because of it. She finally understood. She had long accepted Dustin into her heart. After a long time in Dustin’s embrace, Patricia finally cal
