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
The next few days passed peacefully. It was a rare thing for Dustin to enjoy such calm days. No one from the Wyatt family came to bother him. Although he did not know what the Wyatt family was planning, he thought they might be too busy dealing with Elijah at the moment to have time for him. Dustin was happy to enjoy his free, undisturbed time. That day, he accompanied Simone as she spent the entire day running some errands. The Langley Group had made a comeback with the Excelsior Group’s help. However, there were many tasks that required the Langley family’s special attention. Simone was currently the company’s president. As she tended to the company’s business, she naturally completed every task meticulously. Dustin spent every day with her running about, but he enjoyed it. In the past, Dustin had gotten used to getting hurt and injured as he risked his life every day for the Wyatt family. In contrast, this peaceful new life allowed him to relax. After a busy day…
The script did not go that way. Bella was simply taking out her frustrations on Camille to get back at Dustin.Camille’s eyes welled up with tears, and Bella was already raising her hand for another slap.Before the slap could land, Dustin caught Bella’s hand.“How dare you, Dustin Fox? This filming studio is under the protection of the Verdant Gang’s Harold Grant!” Bella shouted.The Verdant Gang was a notorious organization in the southern region of Lovellia.It was bigger and more powerful than Rivenesco’s own Serpentine Gang. The Verdant Gang’s Harold Grant was a well-known person in the underworld. His name had influence in both legal and underground circles.Bella thought that this would scare Dustin. However, he seemed unfazed by it.“Come here, Camille,” he said.“Dustin, I…” Camille said softly.“Bella slapped you, and now, I want you to slap her back!” The words stunned everyone on the scene.“Does she dare?” Bella snickered. She looked at Dustin mockingly. “She
“Hahaha!” Bella laughed like she had just heard the world’s greatest joke.“Other than this show, ‘Lady Covey’s Diaries,’ my schedule is fully booked for the next two years. Numerous investors and directors are begging me to take their scripts, and big companies are offering high pay for me to endorse their products... And yet, you’re telling me my career ends here?“Oh, Dustin….You really are delusional. I can’t believe you can even say such a thing.”Bella glanced at Camille and chuckled mockingly.“With just one word from me, this little girl won’t get a spot in any crew. She won’t even be able to land a background role, let alone rise to fame. So, tell me, how is she supposed to make it big?”When she heard that, Camille tensed up. She was very worried.Dustin did not say anything more.He let go of Bella’s hand and turned around. He ushered Camille out of the filming studio.“Camille, what’s so good about this show? You shouldn’t act on it anymore. I’ll get you another sho
Would Dustin and Simone be able to handle this? Simone panicked a little. For a moment, she was unable to handle the questioning of the media and the crowd. “I don’t have a medical license, but I don’t plan on seeing patients at Peace Hospital,” Dustin announced loudly. “As for the treatment of Mr. Vance, I only treated him because the family begged me to.” “Yeah, right! I’m sure that’s what happened! Since you’re not seeing patients and there are very few physicians at this hospital, you might as well close it down!” Clarence said with a laugh. “The hospital will not close its doors. We do not lack physicians.” “You don’t lack physicians? Do you think we’re all blind? Or did you come up with a bunch of quacks without medical licenses from somewhere?” A ripple of laughter rose from the crowd. Clarence was elated. He felt that he had thoroughly beaten Dustin and Simone. Dustin scoffed and looked at the street behind the crowd. There was the blare of car horns as
“The miracle doctor who cured Germaine Vance is here!” When Dustin and Simone showed up, the crowd immediately surged toward them. “There are so many people!” Simone was a little shocked. In the past three days, Simone had secretly been feeding Dustin’s reputation as a miracle doctor and pushing it all across Hattan. Even so, she had never expected it would garner such a huge response. “There are many patients, too. This is a good thing.” Everything was progressing nicely. “Will Dustin be able to handle so many patients?” David asked. Simone frowned. Dustin was not a robot. There was no way he could spend all day and all night just seeing patients. “Besides, we can’t take any patients other than the ones here for neurological issues because we don’t have any other physicians. In a few days, the hospital will be empty again.” With that, Simone’s mood was ruined again. The members of the main Langley family had arrived as well. The crowd at the entrance to P
“That hospital is an empty shell now. Let’s see how they make a comeback like this. I’m afraid just trying to limit the losses will be harder than fighting God!” As the main branch of the Langley family mocked Dustin, news about Germaine Vance spread. When they heard about what happened, they all shut up. They were stunned to the core. “Dustin saved the Vance family’s patriarch?” They all jumped up as though they had been struck by lightning. “How is that possible? Even Clarence didn’t know what his condition was. How could he have cured Germaine just like that?” The unacceptable thing was that Dustin had managed to get the Vance family to owe him a debt. This was the Vance family of Somerton, which used to be even more powerful than the four prominent families of the present! Even they had to suck up to the Vance family. However, they did not even have that chance! In an instant, the whole family fell quiet. After a long while, they composed themselves. “The Va
“My friend, you saved my father. I shall keep my promise and apologize to you on my knees!” Rowan walked up to Dustin and prepared to get down on his knees. “Forget it,” Dustin said. Rowan was a hot-blooded man. Rowan being willing to set aside his pride and apologize to Dustin, considering the position the Vance family held in society, was quite a feat. Dustin respected such a person. “Thank you!” Rowan looked grateful. He was a very important man in Somerton. If he really got down on his knees, his pride would not be able to take it. “The Vance family owes you a great debt! We will take my father home to rest. Later, we will come back and reward you greatly!” “There’s no need for that. Just pay the medical fees.” Dustin did not take the whole thing very seriously. Soon, the Vance family left. However, Rowan committed Dustin to memory. Dustin had miraculous medical skills. Plus, he had a very powerful martial artist at his beck and call. There was no w
“You should know where all the nerve centers are in the body, right?” Dustin asked. “I… I do…” “Good,” said Dustin and told her to step forward. “You’ve got to be kidding me. Is he really going to let an intern physician treat Germaine? This is Germaine Vance of the Vance family!” Everyone was taken aback. They could not believe their eyes. “This is preposterous!” The other physicians felt skeptical. If Dustin wanted to pick someone to help, he should have picked a more experienced physician! Rowan’s expression was chilly, and he clenched his fists tightly. He was at the limit of his patience when it came to Dustin. Dustin ignored all these comments directed at what he was doing. He talked to the nervous intern physician for a bit and told her to clean Germaine’s mouth and nose. Then, he had her massage Germaine’s head at a few key nerve centers. The amount of pressure applied and the time needed in each area was different. After all that was done, Dustin h
Dustin moved to stand before Germaine and regarded him with his head lowered for a while. Then, he walked to the desk nearby and sat on a chair. “So? What’s the condition?” Rowan asked. “You won’t understand even if I told you. It’s a very rare condition. There’s something wrong with the old man’s cranial nerves,” Dustin said flatly. Dustin could tell that Germaine was skilled at fighting. Such people tended to put a lot of stress on their nerves all the time. In that way, they were very different from ordinary people. In rare cases, a light hit would result in a pinched nerve and might even cause paralysis. Germaine’s nerves were pinched so badly that his cranial nerves had been affected. Thus, he was paralyzed in several places, and it was affecting his whole body. As such, he had lost consciousness and fallen into a coma. Moreover, he was spitting out blood constantly. If he stayed in that condition for another fifteen minutes, Germaine’s life would be in dan
“What did you say?!” Rowan’s eyes widened as he was enraged. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Please spare me.” Clarence quickly fell to his knees and bowed. The might of the Vance family and Rowan’s fierce reputation terrified him. ‘We’re done for…’ Simone thought. That was what the entire staff of the hospital thought. “You’re a quack!” Rowan yelled. “What kind of trash hospital is this that you can’t even deal with such a small problem? I’ll destroy this hospital!” Rowan’s tantrum made everyone go quiet. “What’s all this noise? Shut up!” said a sudden voice. Everyone froze as they looked toward the source of the voice. It was Dustin! He had actually dared to shout at Rowan! The hospital staff were surprised. Dustin really had a death wish. “Dustin, have you gone mad?” Simone was flabbergasted. She quickly tried to pull Dustin aside. Rowan was not someone they could afford to offend! “What did you say, punk?” Rowan’s eyes narrowed as anger exuded from him in
At the outpatient section of the neurology department, there was a group of suited men in sunglasses surrounding an unconscious old man. By the old man’s bedside, his family members looked anxious and worried. Rowan Vance was pacing the ward. His eyebrows were knitted tightly. That day, the Vance family was on a day out. When they passed through Hattan, Germaine Vance had suddenly collapsed and started coughing up blood. It scared the entire group. Panicked, they rushed him to the nearest hospital. But the neurologist at the hospital had already done some checks but was unable to find out what the problem was. He then said that he would get an expert to examine the patient. “If you can’t save him, we’ll use all the power of the Vance family to destroy this hospital!” Rowan said viciously. The nurses in the neurology department were so terrified that they all went pale. After a while, as the members of the Vance family stood around impatiently, Dustin and the others ar
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
