“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
A luxurious, spacious villa was located at the lakeside with a beautiful view of the surroundings and fully equipped with amenities.This was the private property of Harold Grant, a top and renowned member of the Verdant Gang.Harold was famous among gangsters.Many people still talked about his past achievements.Harold was bald. At the moment, he was fishing in the lake outside the villa.His phone rang.He picked it up, glanced at it, and accepted the call.“Miss Bella, this is the first time that you’ve called me,” he said with a smile.“Mr. Grant, something has happened in the filming studio in Rivenesco,” Bella said.She told him about the chaos that had occurred in the filming studio.Harold frowned as he listened.“Dustin Fox, the abandoned son of the Wyatt family…” His face darkened. “He hurt a dozen members of the Verdant Gang?”“Mr. Grant, if you plan to punish Dustin in any way, the Wyatt family will not interfere,” said Bella as she made her stand clear.After
He was quite brave because he dared to come to the river and face two hundred elites alone.“Why are you here, Verdant Gang?” Dustin put down the flute and asked.“We’re here to kill you,” Harold said briskly.“Anyone who offends the Verdant Gang shall be killed without mercy!”“That makes sense,” Dustin muttered to himself.“What makes sense?” Harold frowned.“That you won’t die in vain,” Dustin said indifferently.“Haha…” Harold stood on the ship and laughed. He looked at Dustin scornfully.Did he want to kill two hundred people alone?They were the elites of the Verdant Gang.How arrogant was he to say such things?How reckless was he to think he was that capable?!After a few laughs, Harold suppressed his glee, and his face turned cold.“You’re the one who’s going to die here,” he said in a chilling tone.Dustin smiled softly.With a light push of his feet, he jumped from the boat. Two seconds later, he landed on the deck of the ship.He shot forward like a nuclea
Bella could not understand.Harold from the Verdant Gang had taken two hundred people and rushed to Rivenesco on a ship. How could the ship simply sink?How could so many people disappear suddenly?There had been shipwrecks in the wide river outside Rivenesco, but she had never heard of such a huge incident.“What does the Verdant Gang say about this?” Bella asked a member of the Verdant Gang.“Our leader has ordered a full investigation. We are doing our best to look for them. We must find them no matter what!”Bella frowned.Harold was an investor in Lady Covey’s Diaries. If something had happened to him, could the filming still continue? Bella felt uncertain.She did not understand how Dustin was so lucky.Alvin had led the Blackguard to look for Dustin and had gone missing too. There had been no news about them.When Harold led two hundred elites of the Verdant Gang to Rivenesco on a ship, they disappeared together with the ship.She did not think that Dustin could do
The Dhillon family was suddenly hit with a massive crisis.Their business took a serious hit. They faced unfair competition, supply shortages, and crashing stock prices. As one of the biggest families in Hattan, they were completely unprepared. Their losses were huge, and things kept getting worse by the second.The entire Hattan business world was shocked.No one knew who was behind this brutal attack. The strikes were fast and ruthless, as if the attacker did not care about losses and only wanted to wipe out the Dhillon family as quickly as possible. In just a short time, the family was struggling to survive.“It has to be the Cabello family. They must be furious and want to destroy the Dhillon family,” people said in speculation.The Cabello family was a true powerhouse. Their methods were swift and effective, and only they had the strength to pull off such a devastating attack.Even the Dhillon family believed this.They were in complete panic. But no matter what they did, t
Once Dustin accepted a disciple, it meant they were officially recognized. His disciple would no longer be just an ordinary person but someone beyond the mortal realm. “I’ll kneel here until you accept me as your disciple,” Brody said stubbornly and refused to get up. “Brody, get up! Stop messing around!” Adrian scolded. He tried to pull Brody up, but Brody would not budge. Brody was stronger than Adrian. Dustin did not say much. He just lifted a hand slightly. An invisible force lifted Brody off the ground effortlessly. He could not continue to kneel. “What…?” Brody was shocked again by a Martial King’s incredible power. His eyes burned with excitement. This legendary level of strength was something he deeply longed for. “You’re still too young and inexperienced. Lovellia is full of powerful martial artists, and many of them can defeat you. With your current talent and skills, it’s way too early for you to become my disciple,” Dustin said with a smile. “Martial arts
“A Martial King!” Brody shouted in shock. Was he a Martial King? It was the highest title among martial artists, the king of all! Reaching the Martial King level was an incredible achievement. In all of history, fewer than 20 people had ever made it that far. “A Martial King is someone who stands above all. They can control objects. It’s a skill every martial artist dreams of,” Adrian muttered. He stared at Dustin in disbelief. Brody already knew Dustin was strong, not just because he had fought him, but because Dustin was the master of Star Tower. Every master of Star Tower in history had been an unmatched powerhouse. They mastered all kinds of martial arts. But Brody never expected Dustin to already be a Martial King and a true legend. In all of Summerdale, there might not be another Martial King besides him. “He’s so young, even younger than me,” Brody said with a shaking voice. The Martial Kings of history had only reached that level after living for over a hund
No one had ever been able to truly measure the strength of the masters of Star Tower. What people did not realize was that the masters of Star Tower were on a completely different level from ordinary people. “Now, that’s more like it!” Brody grinned and admired Dustin a bit. “Master Dustin, you don’t look much older than me. Did you inherit your position from the old master? I wonder how strong you really are,” Brody said. Brody had no fear and respect for Star Tower. Seeing how young Dustin was, he respected him even less. “Even I don’t know how strong I am,” Dustin said calmly. “Want to find out?” “Yes!” Brody grinned. Whoosh! Before he even finished speaking, Brody charged at Dustin with incredible speed and kicked up a strong gust of wind. With that kind of speed and force, he could easily knock over a small car. Adrian thought about stopping him but decided not to. Brody needed to learn a lesson. “Let’s see if you can handle this!” In an instant, Brody wa
After witnessing the whole Dhillon family mess, Dustin was ready to head home. Patricia had just called to ask where he was, and he had promised to return quickly. As soon as Dustin and Adrian got into the car, Adrian’s phone rang. Adrian answered while he started the engine. “Brody, just say what you need to say.” It was Brody on the line. Unlike his arrogant attitude at the Dhillon family’s hotel, Brody sounded friendly with Adrian. It seemed like he was begging for something. A moment later, Adrian hung up. “My Liege, Brody wants to meet you,” Adrian said. “The news about Star Tower having a new master has already spread. The Cabello family may not be directly under Star Tower’s control, but their ancestors originally came from Star Tower before rising to power. They still have close ties with it, so of course, they’ve heard about you. “Brody found out some things about you from me. He even made a special request to his family just so he could come to Hattan and
Even the top-tier families had to submit to him?! How could such a thing be possible? “I can’t believe someone like that exists!” The guests were completely shocked. It sounded unreal. What kind of power or ability did this person have to make even the top-tier families submit to him? It was unbelievable. “This is too much! We’re talking about the top-tier families!” Some people still doubted it. “The top-tier families? So?” Brody sighed. He sounded emotional. “Anyone lucky enough to meet that person usually ends up creating their own powerful empire without much effort.” The guests were stunned, as if they were hearing about a legend or a myth. Building an empire was a huge achievement. Yet, could just meeting this person make it easy? Could someone like that really exist? “Mr. Cabello, who is this person?” one guest asked eagerly. If they could meet him, their lives would change completely! “I can’t say.” Brody glanced toward the pillar in the party hall.
“How could it be fake? We had multiple experts examine it! They all said it was a genuine antique! They even gave us a certificate to prove it!” Kendall clutched his bleeding face and yelled in frustration. The guests looked at each other. Everyone thought the Dhillon family was about to rise in power, just like the Yeager family. The atmosphere had been so celebratory just moments ago. Who could have expected things to take such a dramatic turn? Kendall refused to believe it. He could not believe it. The Dhillon family had spent 70 million on this item and believed it would bring them great benefits, yet Brody said it was fake. “My Liege, is that pot real?” Adrian whispered. “Of course, it’s real. It belonged to the old master,” Dustin said casually. That was his old chamber pot. There was no doubt about it. But as the master of Star Tower, Dustin had the power to decide what was real and what was fake. If he wanted it to be real, it would be real. If he wanted it to b
“Where’s the item?” Brody glanced at him. His face remained cold and serious. “Don’t worry. I’ll bring it out right away.” Kendall led Brody to the center of the hall and poured him a glass of red wine. “Mr. Cabello, these are Damien and Jade Yeager from the Yeager family. They’re both future heirs to their family businesses,” Kendall said as a way of introduction. Damien and Jade smiled and reached out for a handshake. But Brody just glanced at them, let out an “oh,” and looked away. He could not be bothered with them. Damien and Jade froze in front of everyone awkwardly. Their hands hung midair for a few seconds before they pulled them back. They had not expected Brody to be so dismissive. They felt embarrassed. But neither dared to say anything. “He’s got quite an attitude,” Dustin said. “Well, most top-tier families look down on smaller ones. Brody is just more obvious about it. He only respects people stronger than him and doesn’t even acknowledge those beneath
Dustin had become very well-known in Hattan after making a big impression at the Yeager family’s birthday party. As he walked into the hotel’s party hall, people recognized him. Many greeted him with smiles, and he nodded back politely. “I thought Kendall and Dustin didn’t get along. Why would he come to a Dhillon family event?” someone whispered. “It’s more than that. They hate each other! You know what? Kendall likes Patricia, and Dustin is his biggest rival.” “One is a rising star in Hattan with a mysterious background, and the other is the Dhillon family heir who is about to ally with a top-tier family. There might be some drama tonight!” Dustin ignored the whispers. He took a glass of red wine, stood by a pillar, and quietly looked around. The Yeager and Dhillon families had built connections with two powerful families. People in Hattan admired them and wanted to stay on their good side. Damien, Alex, and Kendall were surrounded by guests, and all were eager to flat
