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
Dustin charged into the Five Venoms Sect’s branch. “We’re under attack!” The shout was heard across the branch of the Five Venoms Sect, and the followers rushed out on high alert. “Oh no…” Connor and Clark of the West family helplessly sighed from the back. Nobody ever dared to attack the Five Venoms Sect alone, even if it was just a small branch. “Kid, you have a death wish!” The elites of the branch showed up with the intention of killing Dustin. “I believe I’ve already made it clear that no one with evil intentions is to form any sort of organization within a hundred miles of Hell Hall’s branch. If anyone here had a death wish, it’s you!” Dustin said coldly.“What? Are you from…” The elites of the branch of the Five Venoms Sect were shocked. Was this kid from Hell Hall? Hell Hall had indeed set that rule, but there were only a few people in this area, so they thought Hell Hall might not care. “He’s alone. Kill him!” someone shouted. “Attack!” Murderous roars
In the West family villa, the whole family was restless and anxious. Dustin and the brothers of the West family had gone out not so long ago. They could not help but worry.This was a branch of the Five Venoms Sect they were intending to deal with. No one dared to provoke them. Luckily, Dustin and the other two returned soon after. It was only when the West family members saw them safely return that they sighed in relief. “You finally got him to come back! That’s a good thing. We shouldn’t rush into dangerous situations on impulse. The Five Venoms Sect is not easy to deal with…” they said with warm smiles because they thought the two brothers had convinced Dustin to return right away.But they soon realized that something was wrong with how the two brothers from the West family looked. “Connor, what happened?” asked someone sternly. “Did you follow Mr. Fox to the branch of the Five Venoms Sect?” “We did, and now, we’re back…” Connor said gloomily.“Mr. Fox… utterly destr
Bam! When Lucius mentioned the names aloud, Dustin emitted a terrifying killing intent, which scared the West family members so much that their faces turned pale. “These forces were nothing in the beginning. They only grew powerful after the Fox family supported them. Some of these forces have now become very influential in Lovellia. They achieved this by destroying the Fox family!” Lucius said with hatred.“The fortune of the Fox family surpassed even that of a country! They divided everything in the Fox family and used it for themselves to rise rapidly.” Dustin took a deep breath and suppressed his impulse to lose control. “Master Fox, you’re the only survivor from the Fox family. You’re the only hope of the family. All the former followers of the Fox family are counting on you to lead us and avenge the Fox family one day!” Lucius said earnestly.“The Fox family had many enemies. Most of them have become too strong, and some of them hold absolute power. The best course of a
Clarence and the others felt insulted. “Punk, don’t regret your choice later! Even if you beg us, we won’t come back!” “That’s not likely to happen,” said Dustin and chuckled. Clarence and the others were even more livid. They all packed up their things in a huff and got ready to go. Simone was anxious. She wanted to make them stay, but everyone ignored her.“Dr. Boudin! Dr. Boudin!” As Clarence and the others were packing up, another physician suddenly rushed into the room in a panic. “A new patient was just transferred from Goodwill Hospital. He’s in a coma, but he’s coughing up blood. The files say it’s a brain condition, but tests aren’t showing where the problem is. Please hurry and take a look! “The patient’s family seems important. If we can’t save the patient, they’ll ruin the hospital!” “Oh?” Clarence raised an eyebrow. He was just thinking about how he could make things worse for Dustin when an opportunity presented itself immediately. “Please hurry and
“I’m so damn angry!” Clarence had never been so insulted before in his life. He was so mad that his face turned a shade of purple. He thought that Dustin and Simone would walk on eggshells around him and cater to his every whim to keep the hospital afloat. After all, he was the last resource the hospital had. Yet, he had never imagined that Dustin would not care at all. “You punk! Do you know what will happen if you fire me? Hmph! The hospital will go under immediately! There’s no chance of saving it!” Clarence said with a scoff. Dustin was terrifyingly calm. “On the contrary, I think that the hospital will do better without an old fart like you,” he said indifferently. “So, you should get lost. Don’t make me say it again!” “You… You…” Clarence’s mouth opened wide, but he could not say anything further. He had miscalculated. He definitely did not want to lose out on the significant benefits that being the assistant director of the hospital gave him. He did not u
“Who are you? Do you think you can boss us around? What are you shouting about? Do you have any manners at all?” someone yelled. “I am the new hospital director, Simone Langley!” Simone said angrily. No one seemed to care about that. It was clear that they knew Simone would show up, but it still did not matter. “So, you’re the new hospital director. Well, you’re certainly accomplished for your age. A hospital director so young…” Clarence said mockingly. “You still haven’t answered my question. Why are you playing cards during work hours? This is unacceptable.” Simone was furious. Clarence frowned. “Hey, miss, you’d better speak with some manners,” he said harshly as he glared at Simone. “Don’t think you can boss everyone around just because you’re the hospital director now.” Simone’s face reddened at Clarence’s tone of voice. Clarence smirked. He had gotten instructions early on from the main branch of the Langley family to create trouble for Simone. Besides, th
“Mr. Fox, the Langley family’s hospital is named Goodwill Hospital. They have their own pharmaceutical business and because they brought in a top grade physician a few years ago, they have a better reputation than the most prominent public hospital in Hattan.” Skyler was making a report to Dustin in the villa. “For the past two years, the Langley family has basically taken up the entire market share for the private hospital business in the area. Only a couple of small hospitals are still surviving.” Dustin chuckled softly when he heard that. “Buy the hospital closest to Goodwill Hospital,” he said calmly. “I will use what they look down upon the most to ruin their hospital.” … At the Langley family villa, they got the news about the purchase. “What? They’ve bought Peace Hospital?” Josiah had arranged for someone to keep an eye on what David and his family were doing. Once they found out about the purchase of Peace Hospital, the members of the main branch of the Langle
The person Killian addressed as Mr. Little took a few steps closer to him. He looked condescendingly at Killian. “It’s very simple. It’s because you offended someone you shouldn’t have,” the man said. “W-What does that mean?” Killian was in a daze. Dustin approached him with a smile. “You’re really bold to set me up on my own turf,” Dustin said sarcastically. “Your turf?” Killian looked at him in disbelief. “Everyone at the Antiquities Trading Hall obeys me. And yet, you dare to challenge me?” Dustin asked. Killian was instantly struck dumb. Luna was also taken aback. Her body shook violently. What? How could he call the shots here? Besides, they had never heard that the Antiquities Trading Hall had a secret boss. Killian and Luna were both stricken and nearly lost their reasoning. That was especially true for Killian. He knew that the Antiquities Trading Hall was a very powerful one. Even his father was polite to the people here. The owner was Dustin?! Ho
“How could I have lost? There’s no way I could have lost!” Killian was in complete disbelief. He acted like he was in a daze. He was filled with confusion, and he could not figure it out. He had an inside person giving him clues and knew the correct answer, so how could he have lost? ‘This makes no sense! This isn’t right!’ Killian screamed to himself. His face turned vicious. He could accept that he had lost 20 million dollars, but it was the other bet that was the issue. If he really had to crawl and bark like a dog, he would have no dignity left. He was the son of the Prolereid Group’s chairman. He could not afford to be humiliated like this! “What’s going on? How could we have lost?” Darren and Luna were both in disbelief. Neither of them had expected that this would happen. “Killian, didn’t you say you have connections? What happened?” they asked Killian anxiously. “How am I supposed to know?” Killian yelled grumpily. “This shouldn’t have happened. What went wr
“I pick this one,” Killian said. “I won’t pick the one you did,” said Dustin and chuckled softly. Killian, Darren, and Luna shared a meaningful look. They already knew which item was the authentic one. They were definitely going to win. Dustin would definitely lose! After they both made their choices, the host was about to announce the correct answer. “Hold on,” Killian suddenly said. “I want to up the stakes.” He smiled sinisterly as he stared at Dustin. “Whoever loses has to crawl out of here like a dog.” Everyone glanced at each other. It seemed that Killian had a massive grudge against Dustin. It was no wonder that he had been targeting the latter from the start. The additional bet was a huge insult. It did not matter which of them lost. The loser would lose his dignity and become a laughingstock. “Mr. Fox, this has nothing to do with the rules of the Antiquities Trading Hall. You have the right to choose. It wouldn’t matter if you don’t take this bet,” t
“For this round of the competition, you will be authenticating the most priceless items we have. It is a petrified coral. Its estimated value is 10 million dollars. You will each contribute 5 million dollars. You may bet 10 to 20 million dollars.” As per Killian’s request, the organizers skipped over the round with the Myrena Era pearls and brought out two specimens of petrified coral. The colors of the coral made everyone gasp. “Wow! I’m amazed that the Antiquities Trading Hall would use such a specimen as a competition item instead of auctioning it off. How generous!” “This is worth 10 million dollars. Whoever wins will make a killing!” “This is getting a bit out of hand…” Killian glared daggers at Dustin, and his gaze was vicious. “We’ll bet 20 million dollars. Do you dare to take the bet?” Dustin did not speak for a moment. “This isn’t about whether he dares to take the bet,” Luna said. “Look at how destitute he looks. It’s a miracle that he could fork out a millio
“It’s fine. Trust me, I will win all the money back,” Dustin said reassuringly. Simone’s face froze. Was this not the sort of thing that gamblers said all the time? When had such words ever come true? Simone never expected that Dustin would say such a thing and suddenly felt troubled. “What? Do you still have the guts to keep competing?” Killian and the others asked gleefully. “Let’s continue,” Dustin said. ‘You really overestimate yourself. You don’t even know what’s coming,’ they thought. Dustin was falling right into their trap. They wore disdainful looks and did not think that Dustin was a threat. What did it matter that Dustin had a decent eye for antiques? They were still playing with him like a cat played with its prey. Simone really wanted to stop the competition, but the second round had already begun. This time, two jade sculptures were placed on the table. The jade was magnificent and translucent, and the sculptures were about five inches tall. “T
