Dustin’s face turned cold with anger. His killing intent turned Zion quiet. “Yes. It’s true that I wanted to investigate the case of the Fox family, but it’s impossible to investigate that case. I’m just a branch leader in Grayvale. Even if you get the regional leader of the West to come and investigate, he can’t do anything!”“If I ask you to investigate, it’s not just empty words,” said Dustin indifferently.Thud! He threw something in front of Zion.Zion looked at it and was stunned. It was a token that seemed to be a bit worn out. He frowned, picked the token up, and looked at it. After he saw the engraving “Supreme” on the token and the dragon logo below it, he was shocked. His eyes widened. His hands shook so much that he almost dropped the token. “It’s…the Martial League’s Supreme Token!” Zion exclaimed in disbelief. He held the token and looked at it to make sure that he was not just seeing things. A wave of shock surged within him. The Martial League’s Sup
At the security booth in front of Creative Arts Corporation.“What did you say?”Shawna and a few employees of Creative Arts Corporation looked at Dustin in shock, who was in the security guard uniform. “You convinced the Harmon family to drop all claims against us?” Shawna’s eyes widened in disbelief. Yesterday, Dustin had not listened to them and went to the Harmon family villa. They thought he was going to get injured, and they had thoughtfully called an ambulance for him.But later, the Harmon family villa was closed off. The ambulance was unable to go near it. This made Shawna and the others very worried. They thought that Dustin would not return. Shawna had already prepared for his funeral. Unexpectedly, Dustin came to work on time this morning, and he told everyone that the contractual compensation was already resolved. He also told them that the Harmon family would not look into it anymore.They found that hard to believe. Shawna understood the Harmon family ver
Was this guy Superman? Waylon was terrified. In his entire life, he had never witnessed someone being able to stop a car! Even the front hood was dented. The engine’s roar slowly died down. “Waylon Riley!” Shawna’s face turned pale with fear as she ran out in her high heels. She was afraid that Waylon might kill Dustin.Dustin finally let go, and the car stopped. Waylon snapped out of his daze. He restlessly opened the car door and got out. “Dustin, are you all right?” Shawna pulled Dustin away and looked him up and down with deep concern. “I’m fine,” said Dustin and smiled. Shawna signed in relief. “Waylon Riley, you’re out of control! If you hit him, you won’t escape the law!” she yelled at Waylon angrily.“Hmph! It’s not your place to lecture me!” Waylon said coldly as his face darkened. His fear disappeared, and he became haughty again. “Shawna, who gave you the guts to allow a security guard to offend me? Don’t forget that this is the Riley family’s compa
“You… you…” Waylon pointed at the two of them, but he dared not curse again under Dustin’s glare. “Waylon, what do you want? Just say it!” Shawna said coldly. Waylon’s face changed drastically. “I came here to inform you that…” He suddenly sneered as if he was happy about her misfortune. “You and your mother, Shawna. You must show up at the Riley family villa before 5 p.m. today.“Today, the Finn family will arrive with extravagant gifts to propose marriage. “The family patriarch says that if you two don’t show up, you’ll lose everything you have now!”When Waylon said that, Shawna’s face darkened. “Marriage?” Dustin frowned. How cliche! Another family that was forcing an old-fashioned arranged marriage yet again. Then again, with Shawna’s stunning beauty, it was not surprising for her to be caught in the web of arranged marriages tied to family interests. ‘Since Shawna took good care of Mrs. Swift, I should return the favor. I can’t let the Riley family manipulat
The Riley family villa in Grayvale was all lit up and busy. It looked like a big wedding was about to be held there. “Quick, the Finn family is coming! We must get everything ready before they arrive!” The core members of the Riley family were busy ordering the servants to get everything ready. Everyone was smiling. The Finn family was a huge family in Grayvale. They were far superior to the Riley family. To establish ties with the Finn family was an opportunity the Riley family could only dream of. The patriarch of the Finn family, Archie Finn, wanted to remarry. He had fallen for Shawna’s mother a long time ago. After everything was discussed, he officially came to propose marriage today.Clayton Riley, the patriarch of the Riley family, sat in the main hall with a grin as he watched everyone being busy. He gave his order from time to time. Having the patriarch of a prestigious, first-class family as his son-in-law made him feel immensely proud. Not just that, the dwindl
Waylon stood behind Clayton. After he saw them coming, his face turned stormy. Thoughts spun in his mind, and he was plotting his own schemes.“Mom, how can you…” Shawna held Maisie’s hand, and tears streamed down her face. “Shawna, I’d do anything for you,” Maisie said with affection. Shawna felt even sadder. She collapsed in Maisie’s arms and sobbed uncontrollably. Clayton and the other people’s faces darkened. “Oh, Shawna is here. Come, this is for you!” said Archie and smiled. He handed a present to Shawna, but his lecherous gaze roamed shamelessly over the mother and daughter’s graceful figures. How stunning the mother and daughter were… He seemed to be plotting what he would do to them after they got married. “I don’t want your present!” Shawna flung the present in disgust. Archie’s face darkened. “How dare you?!” A member of the Riley family was the first to speak and yell at Shawna.“Shawna, have you forgotten who you are? Apologize to Archie now!” Clayton
Dustin looked at Archie and sneered. “You’re just one step away from your death, yet you’re still consumed by lust. Do you even think you’re worthy of this?” He spoke icily and walked toward Archie. Archie felt a shiver down his spine. “You…” He stared at Dustin in shock, and he stumbled a few steps back. “Stop him!” Archie shouted in fear. A few thugs of the Finn family immediately rushed forward to stop Dustin. Dustin took a step forward, and his imposing manner was unstoppable, like a sharp arrow cutting through the air. The thugs of the Finn family were sent spinning through the air and crashed onto the ground. Dustin took another step and approached Archie. Before Archie moved back, he grabbed him by the neck and lifted him off the floor effortlessly. Archie was being strangled. He found it hard to breathe and kicked his feet to break free.The Riley family members were so shocked, and their faces reflected the fear they felt. “Brat, have you lost your
“I’m resigning! That should settle my debt with the Riley family, right?” Shawna’s voice trembled with barely restrained anger. “Dream on! The debt you and your mother owe to the Riley family can never be settled!” said a member of the Riley family and sneered. His face twisted with contempt. “You two are just a worthless nobody and a b*stard child. Our family’s mercy in taking you in is the greatest blessing you’ll ever get. How could you possibly repay that?” “Uncle, that’s crossing the line!” Shawna’s voice trembled with fury. “Too far indeed. Someone needs to teach him some respect,” Dustin said coldly as he strode forward. In a single stride, he stood before the man. Smack! The slap echoed like a gunshot in the Riley family’s lavish hall. The man flew backward like a rag doll. He did not even have time to react. He blacked out midair. By the time he hit the floor, he was already unconscious and sprawled limply like discarded trash. The Riley family mem
Dustin put his key into the lock. Inside the apartment, Kendall tensed. He gave the goons by the door a meaningful look to tell them to stay ready. The two goons by the door were big and brawny. Neither of them was someone to be messed with. Kendall believed that Dustin, with his small build, would be easily apprehended the moment he walked through the door. There was a creak as the door opened. Dustin slowly swung the door open and stepped into the apartment. Immediately, he saw Patricia tied up and with a panicked look on her face. He also saw Kendall standing at the side, looking all pleased. “Get him!” Kendall ordered. The two brawny goons by the door jumped out and pounced on Dustin viciously. Looking unaffected, Dustin ignored the goons and side-stepped his two attackers. The goons missed him completely. The two goons looked stunned. With a crash, they sprawled out on the floor. They landed so hard that it felt like the floor shook with several qua
Patricia had learned a lot about cooking from Dustin. That day, she was prepared to make a feast and show off her cooking skills to Dustin. Patricia could not help but chuckle when she imagined Dustin smiling happily while eating her food. As she drove out of the city and toward the suburbs, the number of cars on the road lessened. When she turned a corner, a car suddenly flew out toward her. Patricia frantically hit the brakes and narrowly avoided the other car. Patricia was pale-faced, and her heart was beating fast. She was about to get out of the car to check things out when a familiar figure exited from the other car. “Kendall?” Patricia frowned. She did not like Kendall at all, and she immediately became wary. Then, several other people exited Kendall’s car. After a while, Patricia’s car drove toward her and Dustin’s place in the suburbs, with Kendall’s car beside hers. It was the first time that so many people were in their humble home. From the loo
After Amadeus and Kendall left Duscia Corporation, the Dhillon family’s businesses started failing even faster. It was not only because of external factors. There were various issues internally as well. The shareholders all gave up their shares one after the other and added to the disaster. The Dhillon family knew that this was only happening because of Duscia Corporation. Amadeus took his family members and went to each of the other families in Hattan. He begged them for help. Yet, everyone rejected them cruelly. Some did not even have the courtesy to open their door to them. No one wanted to help them. Even the insignificant families they despised dared to be rude to them. With banks refusing their loan applications, the Dhillon family was desperate. They initially thought that Duscia Corporation would suffer with them no matter how powerful it was, and it would experience losses as well. However, Duscia Corporation had no such trouble while they were on the verge of destr
“It doesn’t matter what he was,” Amadeus said quickly. “As long as you’re willing to let the Dhillon family off, we will punish Kendall very severely. However he might have treated you before, we’ll make sure he suffers the same!” Dustin shook his head. “It’s easy to talk big. Why don’t you ask your son what he’s done?” Amadeus frowned. Amadeus thought that Kendall must have insulted or humiliated Dustin at worst. That was not too bad. “What did you do, brat? Tell me!” Amadeus roared. “I… tried to kill him, but I failed,” Kendall said with his head bowed. “What?!” Amadeus was appalled. He never thought that Kendall would go that far. This was a huge deal. How were they supposed to settle it? This was especially true since Dustin was so much more powerful. At this point, the ones who were in an impossible situation were them. Amadeus felt very regretful. He knew that he should have been stricter with Kendall. If he had been, things would never have gotten this
“Kendall, do you know the CEO of Duscia Corporation?” Amadeus asked when he saw what was going on. Kendall put on a pained grimace. Of course, he knew the CEO of Duscia Corporation. Kendall had never expected that Dustin would be the CEO of Duscia Corporation. But what could he do about that? Dustin had utterly humiliated him. Yet, Dustin was also so far above him that there was no way Kendall could get anywhere close. With one word, Dustin had easily brought disaster to the Dhillon family. All the things that Kendall took pride in were nothing to Dustin, and the Dhillon family was powerless against him. Kendall felt only devastation within him. He could not understand how the fool he had insulted without a thought had become the powerful CEO of Duscia Corporation. He was pretty sure that no one in Hattan would ever imagine that Dustin was the CEO of Duscia Corporation. They all thought that it was an important member of the Pierce family. “Duscia… Duscia…” Kendall mut
“What’s going on? Is Duscia Corporation trying to take over the Dhillon family?”“But that doesn’t make sense! They’re attacking us without worrying about their own losses. No normal company would do that. Why are they coming after us?”The Dhillon family was confused. Kendall’s expression changed.He suddenly thought of the Yeager family and how he had slapped Jade.After that, the Yeager family had threatened to take action.Duscia Corporation was their biggest backer. Could they be getting revenge for the Yeager family?But why would they go this far? They were losing money too. Was all this just to help the Yeager family?Was the Yeager family really that important to them?“We have no choice. Duscia Corporation is backed by the Pierce family. We can’t fight them.” Amadeus sighed. “Prepare some valuable gifts. I’ll take Kendall with me to beg their CEO for mercy.”Amadeus sighed again. The Dhillon family was really unlucky. Somehow, they had offended Duscia Corporation wit
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
