Chapter 282

Author: Autumn Rain
John Donner was a name synonymous with power and fear in Grayvale. He was a renowned martial artist who had reached the esteemed sovereign grade.

His reputation spanned decades, and his influence on Grayvale was absolute. He was simply known as Master Donner.

John was not just a man of influence. He was an untouchable force. Whether in legitimate circles or the underground, there was no one who dared to disrespect him.

As his arrival at the Riley family villa drew near, the atmosphere grew heavy. It was suffused with an invisible pressure that seemed to pierce through the walls. It was suffocating, like a tangible aura of dominance that preceded the man himself.

When John finally stepped into the villa, Dustin could hear his deliberate breathing. Each breath was perfectly measured.

It was a hallmark of a martial artist grandmaster. It was a breathing technique designed to amplify strength with every step. John was building his power with each step, and his potential devas

    “Security guard? A servant? Ha! Do you even know who he really is?” The crowd exchanged puzzled glances. “Who... is he?” John’s gaze sharpened and cut through the tension like a blade. “Twenty years ago, the prestigious Fox family of Grayvale was annihilated overnight. It was said that no one survived. But later, it was discovered that a son and daughter managed to escape. The bloodline of the Fox family endured, and he is the surviving son.” Shock rippled through the room. The Fox family massacre had long been shrouded in mystery. Those who knew of it understood that probing too deeply would invite disaster. Few had ever imagined that any Fox family member had survived. But Dustin, far from lying low, had boldly stepped back into the very city where his family met its end. Was he reckless or just trying to die? Shawna looked at Dustin with a mix of emotions. The quiet and seemingly unassuming security guard she had brought along had such a devastating p

    John was a Legendary Martial Saint. When someone of his caliber reached near-perfect condition, the destructive power they could unleash would be terrifying. At this moment, Dustin was like prey locked in the sights of a hunter. He would be taken down at any second. “A Martial Saint in action? That brat doesn’t stand a chance,” someone muttered. “He’s dead for sure! Good riddance!” The Riley family members sneered. Archie smirked in anticipation. With Dustin out of the picture, no one could stop him from marrying Maisie. Standing in the center of the hall, John fixed his piercing gaze on Dustin. There was a flicker of admiration in his eyes. “The surviving descendant of the Fox family... To have reached such a level at your age is remarkable. At your age, I was far weaker… “I am the leader of Honora’s martial arts community. I owe the General of the West a favor, and he has tasked me with killing you today. Since you are a young man, I will grant you the courte

    A flash of cold steel swept through the air. John’s eyes bulged in shock as he stumbled backward and clutched his neck. Blood gushed persistently from his throat. Thud. Thud. Thud. After a few unsteady steps, he collapsed lifelessly to the floor. His eyes were wide open in disbelief, even in death. “He killed him!” The Riley family members turned pale and trembled uncontrollably. Archie’s face twisted and turned into a sickly shade of purple. Dustin did not even look at John’s corpse. The moment John stepped into the Riley family villa with orders to kill him, his fate had been sealed. “Hell Guards, remove him,” Dustin said flatly. Three shadowy figures emerged as if conjured from the very air. Without a word, they efficiently dealt with John’s body. This was the home of Shawna and her mother, and Dustin did not want to make them feel uneasy. Otherwise, he would not have bothered with the body. Their practiced movements chilled everyone to the bone.

    “My Liege, I’ve confirmed it. The Bloodveil Orchid is within the McCall family villa, located in Grayvale,” a Hell Guard said respectfully to Dustin at the security booth outside the Creative Arts Corporation building. Yesterday’s tension at the Riley family villa ended on an oddly subdued note. Though Shawna remained suspicious, she chose not to press the matter. Dustin had since resumed his unassuming role as a security guard. The Bloodveil Orchid was an extra ingredient needed to make the antidote to Irene’s poisoning. “The McCall family keeps a low profile, but they’re rumored to have ties with a top figure in Central Harbor… “Jonathan McCall has been bedridden for years and relies on rare and potent herbs to cling to life. The Bloodveil Orchid is such a rare herb that is brought in specifically for his treatment.” Dustin frowned. Someone dependent on the flower to sustain his life would hardly give it up. “Regardless, the flower must be secured,” Dustin said

    “Who says fame is the only measure of medical skill? You’ve invited the most renowned physicians for years, haven’t you? Yet, has anyone even been able to cure Mr. McCall?” “You little brat, are you looking for trouble?” the gatekeeper snapped. “Do you know where you are, kid? This isn’t a place for your antics. Get lost!” barked one of the physicians nearby. He was clearly insulted by the insinuation. Dustin’s face darkened. His patience was hanging by a thread when a melodic voice suddenly interjected, “Let him in.” Heads turned as a striking young woman appeared, and she walked gracefully toward them. Dressed in an ethereal white silk gown that seemed to float around her, she exuded an otherworldly beauty that was almost unreal. Her serene and refined demeanor set her apart, as if she were a goddess descended to the mortal world. Dustin immediately understood that this must be Allison McCall, the fabled beauty of the McCall family. “Miss Allison, this brat is no

    Dustin’s skills amazed everyone in the hall. A Legendary Martial Saint in his early twenties was explosive news anywhere in Lovellia. “What? A Legendary Martial Saint?” Just as Allison entered the hall, she happened to see Dustin severely injure the ninth grade middle-aged martial artist. Her eyes instantly lit up. Upon hearing the elder’s shocked cry, her mouth slightly parted in disbelief. The McCall family was a low-profile martial arts family. She was a martial artist herself, and with exceptional talent, she had already reached the seventh grade. This placed her among the top young talents in Lovellia. But she was instantly overshadowed when compared to this man. Allison found it hard to believe that someone almost the same age as her had reached the Legendary Martial Saint level. She could not help but grow more curious about Dustin. ‘I knew it. He must be someone extraordinary,’ Allison thought. She felt glad that she had invited him in. “Sir, may I

    “Allow me to introduce Dr. Fustin Dox,” Allison said quickly. “Never heard of him. Is he famous?” Gareth said dismissively. He barely spared Dustin a glance as he sipped his tea. Arthur, who was seated nearby, leaned toward Allison and said in a low voice, “Allison, Mr. Graves is a living legend in medicine. He’s practically a national treasure. How could you seat a complete nobody beside him? Aren’t you worried about offending him?” “But that young man isn’t ordinary…” Allison hesitated. “Not ordinary? Compared to Mr. Graves? Nonsense! Not just anyone deserves to sit with him,” Arthur said coldly as his face darkened. Allison felt trapped. Her mind raced for a solution. She resolved to ask Dustin if he would mind moving to allow Gareth his rightful place of honor. Just as she was about to speak, Dustin’s voice rang out unexpectedly. “Who is this ‘Mr. Graves’? Sounds like an inflated title. Is he even a big deal?” His words stunned everyone into silence. Allis

    “Guards! Arrest him and take him to the West Prison!” With a brisk command from Arthur, armored soldiers stormed into the McCall family villa. His fury burned bright. Punishing Dustin was the only thing that could quell it. “Mr. Arthur,” Allison said hastily in a pleading voice. “Would you grant our family some leniency and set this matter aside for now? My grandfather is gravely ill, and without treatment, he might not survive…” Reluctantly, Arthur relented. “Fine. But once Mr. Graves cures your grandfather, he’s a dead man.” He shot Dustin a venomous glare, and his voice dripped with menace. Dustin did not even flinch. “Please, follow me.” Allison led the group toward her grandfather’s room. The atmosphere inside was heavy with despair. Jonathan lay motionless on the bed. He was barely clinging to life. His breaths were faint and labored. Anyone could see he was days, if not hours, from the brink of death. It was no wonder Allison had risked her future in d

    Dustin observed what was going on at the front desk on the security feed on his screen. Adrian arrived at the front desk. “Mr. Pierce, you’re here.” The receptionist nodded at Adrian, and Adrian nodded back. Crispin and the driver, Nicholas Olson, assessed Adrian. “What a self-important person the general manager of Duscia Corporation is! How dare you make Mr. Tonra wait downstairs?” Nicholas asked in displeasure. Adrian did not spare the driver a single glance. He could not be bothered to speak with an insignificant staff member. If Dustin had not given him the orders, he would have chased these two out already. “You’re the general manager of Duscia Corporation, Adrian Pierce, yes?” Crispin looked at Adrian contemptuously. “I’ve never heard of the Pierce family having a person with your name. You’re quite capable of fooling the families of Hattan so easily with the same last name.” Thinking that he had dirt on Adrian, Crispin smiled very tauntingly. “What are yo

    “I find it all quite interesting. This Duscia Corporation, this fake rich kid… Let’s go take a look.” “Yes, sir.” At around 2 p.m., the Lamborghini stopped at the entrance of Duscia Corporation. The young man walked into the building with his driver. “Hello, sir. How can I help you?” the receptionist asked. “This is the son of the Tonra family of Articora. Have the person in charge of your company come and welcome him,” the driver announced loudly. “Do you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked with a smile. “What?” The young man, Crispin Tonra, immediately frowned. “What kind of receptionist are you? Haven’t you heard of the Tonra family of Articora? Mr. Tonra of the ultra-rich Tonra family doesn’t need an appointment to come to your company. Go and tell your boss about his arrival. Have the person in charge rush over here to welcome Mr. Tonra,” yelled the driver at the receptionist. “I’m sorry. The person in charge of our company is very busy. All guests mu

    The great Dhillon family of Hattan was destroyed just like that. It was said that Kendall had become a useless cripple and would have to spend the rest of his days relegated to bed. He could not even move, and there was nothing that could be done to treat him. The other families in Hattan thought that it was the ultra-rich Cabello family of Summerdale that had done this. They were impressed at how powerful the Cabello family was and pitied the Dhillon family. It was true that one could not afford to offend a family like that. After spending a day at the hotel, Dustin took Patricia back to their apartment in the suburbs. The place had been cleaned up and was immaculate. All the damage from the fight had been fixed, and everything looked good as new. Patricia was a strong woman. Thus, she recovered from her ordeal very quickly. She even went to work right after. Dustin went to Duscia Corporation, and Adrian reported to him. “It’s impossible for the Dhillon family to mak

    A life like that would be worse than anything. To put it crudely, it would be a luxury for Kendall to be able to kill himself. This was the consequence of daring to hurt Patricia. Dustin went to stand before Patricia and reached out to touch the red veil surrounding her. With a plop, the light burst like a bubble, and Patricia landed on the floor. “Dustin,” Patricia called. She threw herself into Dustin’s embrace. She cried softly as she held onto Dustin tightly. “You’re alright,” Dustin said comfortingly as he patted her on the back. Patricia did not speak. She clung to Dustin without letting go. She had just realized that she could not live without Dustin in her life. Before that moment, she had been so worried about Dustin and wanted him to leave without coming in. It would not have mattered if she had died because of it. She finally understood. She had long accepted Dustin into her heart. After a long time in Dustin’s embrace, Patricia finally cal

    “What is this?!” Kendall was fearful. He wanted to kill Patricia and make Dustin suffer along with him. At the very least, he wanted Dustin to regret this for the rest of his life. That way, he would still feel as if he had won somehow. However, when he tried to cut Patricia, a weird red light appeared around her and blocked her from him. The red light pushed Kendall away from Patricia, and he could not get close. “What?!” Kendall was baffled. After experiencing Dustin’s terrifying power, Kendall’s worldview had been upended. That was bad enough. But even after deciding to go all out and kill Patricia, something like this was still happening. What was even going on? Kendall was on the verge of going crazy. Patricia looked at her body bathed in red. The warm light surrounded her like a veil and stopped Kendall from hurting her. “Is it because of this?” Patricia was in disbelief as she suddenly thought of something. Dustin had won the auction for a blood

    “My bones are broken! It hurts!” “My leg is broken!” In an instant, the six henchmen had been crippled. From start to finish, none of Kendall’s eight henchmen managed to get close enough to even touch Dustin before they were crippled. Also, the fight was too quick. It had been barely a minute since Dustin stepped into the apartment. “How could this happen? Is he some kind of monster?” Kendall’s eyes widened. He did not realize that there could be such a powerful martial artist in the world. It was so terrifying. Dustin had the kind of skills that seemed only plausible in books or the kind of power that was even greater… Kendall could not puzzle it out, and so he was absolutely frightened. He had wanted to take revenge on Dustin, so he abducted Patricia. He thought that, with enough preparation, he would succeed in getting Dustin to beg him for mercy. He never expected that things would turn out this way. Dustin looked at Kendall icily, and the latter could no

    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
