That was something that had never happened in Lannopolis’s black market before. Dustin had challenged the leader of the black market, and it had been terrifying. Even after a long time passed, no one dared say anything. Elisa and Jaxon were both rendered speechless by Dustin’s fearlessness. They had wanted the law enforcers to punish him. Who would have thought that he would kill them, including the captain? Was murder the only thing in his mind? Did he have no brain cells whatsoever up in his head? “Who else are you going to call? Summon them,” Dustin said coldly. Jaxon’s face changed rapidly. Then, he sneered and said, “Go and bring the manager of the black market over here!” The manager of the black market had the highest position in the black market. Not only did the position symbolize great status, but he also had to be one of the most powerful precisely because he represented Hell Hall. If Dustin dared to attack the manager, he would surely die! Even if a firs
Orville was terrified out of his wits. Who would not be when the King of Hades was mad? “Mr. Fox asked you a question!” shouted the Hell Guard beside Dustin. Thud! Orville fell to his knees and did not dare to look up. “I’m sorry, Mr. Fox! Please forgive me!” he said in a trembling voice. In an instant, everyone fell silent. Some people’s jaws fell slack in dumbfounded shock. Others froze up. Elisa and Jaxon were among them. Their minds were completely blank. Orville was a person of high status in Hell Hall! Considering the organizations in Lannopolis, he was basically someone who could practically bring the whole place to its knees! But Orville apologized to Dustin, and he even looked terrified doing it! How could this be possible? No one could believe what they were seeing. What sort of status did Dustin have to make Orville respect him so much? “What’s going on? This is impossible!” Elisa was about to tear her hair out in frustration. Why was Dustin
“Mr. Fox, this way, please.” Orville bowed and gestured to Dustin to lead him to the headquarters of the black market to rest. With an indifferent expression, Dustin left with other Hell Hall members escorting him. He did not spare Elisa and Jaxon another glance. After Dustin left, Orville’s face immediately changed to one of great anger. Killing intent raged in his eyes. “The Chandler family’s pharmacy and all of its other businesses in the black market are to be terminated, and you are all to leave the black market within an hour, or Hell Hall will forcefully remove you!” he said coldly. Even if Jaxon did not want to do so, he did not dare disobey the instructions. The onlookers all sighed at the situation. As the strongest family in Lannopolis, the Chandler family had great power, and they had more than one business in the black market. Over the years, the profits they made in the black market were more than half of the total profit the Chandler family made in a year.
“How much are you offering?” he asked. “Twenty million.” Jaxon raised two fingers. “Oh? You’re offering twenty million for a mediocre martial artist?” Frost’s voice betrayed no emotion. “This person is involved in my sister’s disappearance, and he might have taken advantage of her before killing her. If you can kill him, I can offer more on top of the twenty million!” Jaxon’s face was filled with hate. “I accept this deal on behalf of God’s Lance,” Frost said coolly. Then, in a threatening tone, he said, “You must ensure that the information you provided is accurate and true. If what is provided is largely inaccurate, and you’ve caused a huge loss to our organization, I’ll hold you accountable for it.” As the ace assassin of the third-greatest assassination organization in the world, he had his own way of doing things. “Don’t worry. The information we provided is accurate and true. If it’s not, we’ll compensate for it.” Jaxon promised with a thump to his chest. “But you hav
At the headquarters of Lannopolis’s black market was Dustin. He walked out of Orville’s luxuriously decorated office and said, “When you find the herb, notify me.” “Don’t worry, My Liege, I’ll keep an eye out at all times!” Orville bowed and escorted Dustin out. When Dustin was far from sight, he sighed in relief. Someone had disrespected the King of Hades in his black market, and this was an unpardonable crime in Hell Hall. Fortunately, Dustin had decided not to pursue this matter, or he would have been dead. Then, Orville’s face darkened. “Pay attention to the happenings around the King of Hades. Don’t let any random person disrespect him again!” He told the Hell Hall members of the black market. “The Chandler family has acted ignorantly. Teach them a lesson.” … Once he left the black market, Dustin got into a car to return to the West family villa. He had not managed to find the herb he wanted, so he was not in a good mood. After he left the downtown area, Dustin s
Frost swung his arm down. Bang! The sniper fired. The huge bullet shot forward like a cannonball and went straight for Dustin’s car. Bang! The car immediately exploded, and the flames shot into the sky. “No one can possibly survive that blast. Even sovereign grade fighters will be burnt to a crisp!” Frost watched through his binoculars and muttered to himself. “These days, who even bothers to fight hand-to-hand, anyway? Times have changed,” said the sniper with a grin and got up. “Let’s go get our money, guys,” Frost said with a smile. After packing up, they got ready to leave. Suddenly, alarm bells rang in Frost’s mind. He felt as if a predator had fixed its eyes on him. Immediately, he looked northwest, and his eyes widened. His other teammates looked over as well, and their faces changed. Was he not the target? Why was he not dead?! Dustin and his Hell Guard stood across from them with indifferent faces. They sized them up. “When have the assassins from
“Who sent you to kill me?” asked Dustin as he stared at Frost icily. “The first rule of the assassin’s code states that if we’re paid to get rid of a problem for a client, we are not to spill any information about them. Those who break the code will be killed!” Frost shot back grimly. “Very well, then.” Dustin nodded. “I never like to force people, but…” He looked behind him with a fierce gaze. “Myst?” Dustin called out. “Right here!” said a voice from behind. It was sonorous and vibrant. Then, a person arrived before them like a shadow. She wore black tights that showed off her stunning figure. She also had a beautiful face. “Kill them all,” Dustin said. Myst moved in a beautiful arc in the air. Her face was as cold as ice and as murderous as the Ripper when she landed. She moved so quickly that no one else but Frost had the time to react to her movements. When she attacked, another life was snuffed out. Myst used two short knives that were both as elegant as
Dustin raised his hand, and Myst stopped. Otherwise, Frost would have been killed too. “It’s them again, huh?” Dustin chuckled. Elisa and Jaxon had suffered a setback in the black market, which led to the Chandler family’s businesses in the black market getting ruined. Was that why they grew resentful of him and hired assassins to kill him? “They didn’t just hire me. They also set up a bounty on your head in the black market. The reward is twenty million,” Frost said angrily. How many assassins had come after Dustin because of this? They were just sending these people to their deaths! Frost’s heart burned with rage. If he managed to survive, he was definitely going to make Jaxon pay. Dustin saw the resentment in his eyes, and he smiled. “I’ll spare you this time. Deal with whoever set you up yourself,” he said indifferently. Frost was stunned. He was not expecting to walk out of this alive. In the past, all those who got on Dustin’s bad side ended up dead. “But
“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
“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
