“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
“You, the West family members, are really naive…” Samuel mocked before his face turned stony. “Doesn’t matter. I’ll kill this haughty kid right in front of you. Then, I’ll kill your whole family!” After that, Samuel made his move. The Five Venoms Sect was a dark cult. They had unusual skills and were very hard to fight. Samuel conjured some illusions and shocked the members of the West family. His evil aura terrified them. How was a young man like Dustin supposed to handle this, especially when he was only an eighth grade fighter? Irene looked extremely worried. She kept staring at Dustin. Dustin was unmoved. He was not affected by Samuel’s actions. To him, it did not matter what kind of illusions Samuel used. Dustin could see through all of them. Faster than anyone could see, Samuel approached Dustin. His vicious face was filled with murderous intent. His hand shot toward Dustin’s face. It was the same powerful move that had poisoned Lucius. Connor opened h
“Mr. Fox, thank you so much for defeating the West family’s enemy!” Connor, along with the rest of the family, bowed to Dustin. They were very respectful toward him. Even Clark, who had clashed with him before, felt scared and bowed. Who could have thought that Dustin was this powerful? If Dustin decided to settle scores with him, Clark would not be able to handle it. “Enough chit-chat! I want the Fox family’s martial arts manual.” Dustin was beginning to get impatient. He made it seem like he was willing to use force if the West family did not hand it over. Connor looked troubled. “Only my father knows where the manual is. Don’t worry, Mr. Fox. Once he wakes, I’ll ask him where it is,” Connor said with another bow. “You may have killed Samuel, but the danger has not passed. You may not know this, Mr. Fox, but one of the branches of the Five Venoms Sect is hiding in Lannopolis. Samuel was one of the sect’s important members… “The Five Venoms Sect will definitely aveng
“The rest is up to you now,” Dustin said to Shawna, who had personally come to see him off. They were at the entrance of Creative Arts Corporation, and Dustin had changed out of his security guard uniform. Shawna had become the head of the Riley family. She had a much higher standing than before. Dustin had given her the platform to show off her skills. What she did with it was up to her own abilities. If nothing unexpected happened, Dustin would not interfere. “Thank you, Dustin,” Shawna said sincerely. “You helped Mrs. Swift, so I helped you. We’re even,” Dustin said with a smile. “We’re even, huh?” Shawna looked a bit disappointed. After a moment, she smiled and looked up. “Don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you,” she said. Dustin nodded and waved goodbye. Then, he turned around and left. “Dustin!” Shawna cried out. Dustin turned to her. “Are we… friends?” Shawna asked. “Aren’t we?” Dustin grinned. He waved again and turned back.Shawna smiled as she w
Today was Dustin’s last day as a security guard at Creative Arts Corporation. Shawna’s position at the company had been secured, and everything would go smoothly after this. Thus, Dustin no longer had to worry about her. Besides, he had helped Shawna enough. It was enough to repay Michelle for her kindness. Dustin was the King of Hades. He could not remain in the security booth indefinitely. It was the last hour of Dustin’s shift. Shawna was not doing much. She stood at the window of her office and watched the security booth through the glass. Her expression was complicated. After a long while, she sighed heavily. When it came down to it, she and Dustin were from different worlds. After Dustin left his post, Shawna would move out of the villa. It was nearing the end of Dustin’s shift. He handed everything over to someone else. Suddenly, several cards blazed toward the building where Creative Arts Corporation was. They came to a stop outside the security booth
The Lotus Sect was the most powerful organization in the entire southwest. It had countless members, and many of them were elite fighters. Its leader and elders were all Martial Saints. The Lotus Sect was considered unmatched in the southwest. At the headquarters of the Lotus Sect in Grayvale, the powerful leader of the sect and some of its elders were gathered. On the throne were a couple. The woman was charismatic and had the bearing of a queen. The man looked slightly sinister and condescending. They held positions that were above the typical masses of the Lotus Sect and could control them all. They were Amara and Elijah Wyatt. “Miss Amara, Mr. Elijah, the various martial forces of Grayvale have pledged themselves to us,” the leader of the Lotus Sect, Humbert Whittle, said and saluted. “Now, the Lotus Sect is the true master of the martial world in the southwest. We’re even more powerful than the Martial League branch here!” “The Martial League branch in Grayvale
“Shawna, since the car is here, let’s get home,” Dustin said. “Okay.” Shawna nodded. She did not want to stay at this reunion any longer. The two of them stood up. Shawna’s ex-classmates wanted to get them to stay, but no one dared to speak up. They all thought that they did not have the right to do so. “Oh, right!” Dustin suddenly stopped walking. He looked over at the pale-faced Marco. “Mr. Guerrero, please remember to pay your bill in full. Majestic Hotel does not typically offer discounts to most people.” Marco’s face stiffened. “A-Alright…” Marco nodded. Dustin smiled and took Shawna’s hand to lead her outside. The guests all watched as they left. Meanwhile, Tucker bowed very low. At the entrance to the hotel, Shawna could feel her heart race when she saw the blue Rolls-Royce Phantom. She had never sat in such a high-class luxury car before. The car she drove only cost a bit over 100 thousand dollars. She probably could not afford to buy even a single tir
With a word, Dustin had banished the manager of Majestic Hotel. This made Shawna’s ex-classmates go quiet. This was the kind of influence only a very important person could have. It was the kind of thing that normal people could not even imagine. The ballroom was silent for a long while as no one dared to speak. After a long while, a man said hesitantly, “I found it strange. How could our amazing campus belle get just anyone as a boyfriend? Indeed, she found an exceptional person.” “Forget exceptional. He’s practically a god among men!” someone else said teasingly. “Shawna is truly an impeccable person and only an awe-inspiring one like Dustin can be her match. We’re hardly worthy of the same…” The guests all laughed and joked as they praised them. They were thinking of getting closer to Shawna in this way and getting some perks out of it. “Shawna, we were all fooled by Marco’s words just now. That’s why we said such awful things. We hope you can be gracious and forg
“We trusted you, but you tricked us! That’s infuriating! You made us seem so mean, too.” The surrounding guests all started laying in on Marco. They looked disdainful and no longer treated Marco like their respected class president. They all took turns to lecture him. They wanted to make it clear that they had nothing to do with Marco and were innocent in this matter. Dustin, Shawna’s “pig farmer” boyfriend, was someone that even the owner of Majestic Hotel had to treat with respect. How could any of them offend such a person? In the blink of an eye, Marco turned from an admired and respected person into someone his ex-classmates hated. The guests had done a full 180. It was like Marco had fallen from heaven right into the pits of hell. “Marco, I didn’t realize you had such a fragile ego. You tricked everyone here,” Devina said angrily. “I knew that Dustin was never that sort of person. I knew you were framing him from the start!” Dustin put on a mocking smile at that.
“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
