Bella had suffered so much in the last few days. She felt so frustrated and angry that she was letting it all out in a barrage of insults.She still could not believe what Dustin had claimed.How could a nobody, a mere extra, affect her? The thought itself was laughable.“Bella, it looks like you haven’t fallen far enough,” Dustin said coldly.Bella’s face froze, then she was furious.“Fall? Someone like me? That will never happen!” She sneered. “This little girl could never reach my level, not in a hundred years. I don’t know where you get your confidence from!”“Don’t worry. You’ll see soon enough,” Dustin said indifferently.Bella glanced at the long queue and sneered.“Fine! You all can keep waiting here. Of course, you might not have to wait for very long.” With that, she strutted forward in her high heels.She was very confident.With her popularity and having already starred in two hit shows of the same genre, she had the acting skills and beauty. If the directing te
Bella was certain that she would get the role of the main female lead. So, she stood in front of the director and his group and performed calmly. But right after she spoke two of her lines, the director waved her off impatiently. “Enough. Leave.”Bella froze.She had only just spoken two lines! She was Bella Wyatt! She could not possibly have been that bad!Was the director crazy?“Sir, was there something wrong with my acting?” she asked coldly. “Every single one of your performances was obviously fake, and your acting is mediocre. I don’t even understand how you managed to become an A-list actress,” the executive director said with a stern face.Bella’s face turned red, and she trembled. These were the worst words she had heard about her acting ever since she joined the entertainment industry. No one had ever said that her acting was mediocre.“Sir, I’m starting to doubt your judgment. I’m an actress who won the People’s Choice Award, and you’re saying that my actin
“Why? How could this be?!”Bella threw another tantrum in the changing room.This latest audition had completely humiliated her.Not only did the executive director give her the cold shoulder and insult her, but she also lost to an inexperienced girl who had not even played a side character before.With her strong sense of pride, how could she accept this?When she remembered what Dustin said before he left, she burned with even more anger.“In less than three months, you’ll become a no-name actress. You won’t even be hired to play a small, background character.”“I won the People’s Choice Award, and he says no one will hire me even for background characters? Impossible!” Bella muttered with a grim face.Suddenly, someone asked, “Are you Bella Wyatt?” Bella was shocked. It was only then that she noticed someone had shown up in her changing room.“Who are you?” Bella demanded warily.“A Hell Messenger from the Verdant Gang,” the person said coldly.Bella’s face froze.A He
Dustin smiled and said, “Yes. I did it.”The Hell Messenger narrowed his eyes, while Bella’s face stiffened.They had not expected Dustin to admit to it so readily.“How did you do it?” the Hell Messenger asked.“It’s simple. I killed them and sank their ship,” Dustin said with a relaxed smile as though he was talking about the weather.The Hell Messenger narrowed his eyes.“There were more than two hundred people on the ship, and you killed them all? Who do you think you are? A superhero?” Bella scoffed.In the eyes of the Wyatt family, Dustin was just a piece of trash who had no talent whatsoever.How could he have done something so astounding?Bella’s face was full of disdain.“How did you kill them and sink their ship?” asked the Hell Messenger with a dark face.“Ask them yourself,” Dustin said coldly.The Hell Messenger’s face stiffened.“Dustin, how dare you be so rude to the Hell Messenger?!” Bella shouted.“Quiet!” the Hell Messenger snapped.Bella immediately fe
The headquarters of the Verdant Gang was located in a city west of Rivenesco.When the helicopter landed outside the headquarters, Dustin pushed Bella out, and she fell face-first in the dirt.“You crazy b*stard!” she screamed in her disheveled state.After Dustin killed the Hell Messenger, he dragged her into the helicopter and headed straight to the headquarters. The Verdant Gang was a prominent force in the city, and its headquarters was practically a lion’s den.Why would Dustin even dare to come here?Was he thinking about barging in alone?“Who’s there?”Members of the Verdant Gang rushed out and pointed their guns at them.Bella was so terrified that she raised her hands to surrender.“This is Dustin Fox! He killed Mr. Grant and the Hell Messenger! Catch him!” she shouted in fear.“What? He killed a Hell Messenger?” The gang members were shocked.The Hell Messengers were the Verdant Gang’s trump card and were really powerful. How could one of them have been killed s
The main hall of the Verdant Gang’s headquarters collapsed as large waves of the King of Hades’s Army charged in like a tidal wave.Rumble…The noise from above left the gang members confused and panicked.But soon, they understood what was causing the sound.Light from outside poured in as the entire ceiling of the main hall was yanked off.In the air, many massive helicopters lifted the ceiling of the main hall up into the sky.Then, dozens of attack helicopters hovered above the Verdant Gang members with guns pointed at them.Bang!Cannons rang out. When they turned, they saw huge tanks lining up behind Dustin. All of their cannon barrels were pointed toward the executives.Through the gaps between the tanks, they saw battleships on the river outside the Verdant Gang headquarters. They were awaiting instructions.The Verdant Gang was completely surrounded.“What the…?”The executives had been full of scorn a moment ago, but their mockery had turned into astonishment and
Even the Wyatt family had to look at that organization with great respect.“Dustin, you sure kept this very well hidden,” Bella hissed.If Dustin had shown them that he was this outstanding, no one would have kicked him out. They would have even fallen over themselves to cozy up to him.But Bella did not regret what she had done. She just thought Dustin was crazy.Even though he had such an amazing identity, he pretended to be a useless person!“Did you know that I created Hell Hall for the Wyatt family?” Dustin sneered. “Just when I was about to hand it over to you, you kicked me out of the Wyatt family!”Bella’s eyes widened in shock.Did that mean that they had thrown away control of the most powerful criminal organization in the world?For the first time, Bella felt intense regret.If the Wyatt family was in control of Hell Hall, they could have risen to insane heights!“King of Hades…” With a pale face, Lloyd bowed to Dustin respectfully. “We were ignorant and dared to p
The crazed Bella was sent back to the Wyatt family. When they saw how disheveled and pitiful Bella looked, the Wyatt sisters were shocked and quickly surrounded her. “What happened, Bella? What’s wrong?” “Bella, did something happen to you?” Amara frowned. “You’re an A-list actress. If the reporters get a photo of you looking like this, they’ll definitely spread rumors, and it’ll ruin the Wyatt family’s reputation.” Bella’s gaze was dull, and she did not react to Amara’s reproach. “We were… all wrong,” she mumbled. “Wrong? What did we do wrong?” The Wyatt sisters were confused. “We shouldn’t have kicked Dustin out. We were all wrong…” Bella said in a daze. “Quiet!” Amara’s face turned icy. “Bella, have you lost your mind? How could you question my decision? We did nothing wrong!” she snapped. “So many… So many died…” Bella suddenly cried in panic. “He killed them all. He’s too scary!” “What on earth are you talking about, Bella?” The other sisters were worried.
In the past, Dustin could only stand beside Patricia since he was not even offered a seat. After a few minutes, Dustin finally put his phone down. “What can I do for you?” Dustin asked despite knowing why they had come here. “Dustin, you’re impressive! I don’t know how you earned the Swansong Group’s approval. They value you so much… even more than us,” Zack said with a smile. “We underestimated you.” “Well, now you should see me differently,” Dustin said with a smile. “I do see you differently now,” Zack said with a meaningful look. Dustin just smiled and did not respond. “I’ll cut to the chase. Since the Swansong Group only wants you, you’re the only one who can handle this project. I’ll give you back all the authority. Go sign the contract with them,” Zack said seriously. But Dustin shook his head. “What do you want? Just say it,” Zack said straightforwardly. “I brought this great project to the Yeager family, but I got no credit and lost all my rights. Honestly,
Bam! In the Yeager family villa’s living room, Zack angrily threw a teacup on the floor and shattered it. Alex, who was kneeling, flinched in fear. “Did Dustin really say that?” Zack asked Alex darkly. “Absolutely!” Alex quickly said. “Grandpa, I sincerely asked Dustin to come back. I even apologized to him, but he completely ignored it. He cursed us and said that even if you went to ask him personally, he’d still have to think about whether or not to come back.” Alex’s exaggerated words made the Yeager family members angry. “He’s gone too far this time! Just because of a little luck, he thinks he’s all that! Hmph! What an ungrateful person!” “He is just someone with no family or status! How dare he act so arrogant with us! He’s ungrateful!” “A clueless person like him should just disappear!” Everyone shouted angrily. After all the shouting, everyone went quiet. What could they do? The success of the 1-billion-dollar project was at stake. What could they really do t
“Are you serious?” Patricia’s eyes widened in surprise. She could hardly believe it. Dustin was right. The Yeager family did send someone to take him back. Of all the people, Alex, who hated them the most, had to swallow his pride and come in person. What was going on? Patricia was shocked but also a little flattered. She glanced at Dustin, who was still focused on his game. Had he really seen this coming? ‘There’s no way the elders would ever lower themselves to ask Dustin to come back. Something must have happened,’ she thought. Being quick-witted, she quickly sensed that there was more to the story. “Come in.” She let Alex step inside. Alex looked at Dustin, but Dustin kept playing his game without even glancing at him. It was obvious he was ignoring him. Alex was furious, but no matter how much he hated this, he had to hold it in. “Dustin, Grandpa wants me to tell you that you’re getting the project back. He wants you to go to Mayhill and sign the contract ri
After leaving Mayhill, Zack angrily slammed his cane on the ground. The Yeager family stood silently. They were too afraid to speak. As the patriarch of the family, Zack was utterly humiliated today. The way the representatives of the Swansong Group treated him crushed his dignity. What hurt even more was that he could not even argue back. And all of this was because of Dustin. He was someone they had always ignored and looked down on. The Yeager family members were still in shock. They struggled to understand how Dustin had so much power. Zack shook with anger and said coldly, “Dustin, you sure are something!” He never imagined Dustin could cause him so much trouble. He had started to see Dustin in a new light. “Dad, should we go find Dustin?” someone asked cautiously. “Of course…” Zack raised an eyebrow and said, “We can’t give up on this project. “As for Dustin, he just got lucky and managed to win over the Swansong Group. He isn’t that important. We can give the
“Yes, that is me.” Zack lowered his head. He did not dare act pridefully in front of such an important person. “I sincerely apologize. My grandson offended you earlier and made you upset. That’s why I brought my family here to apologize,” Zack said carefully. “I also wanted to discuss the contract.” “You? Discuss the contract?” The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow. “Yes, I, Zack Yeager, patriarch of the Yeager family, will personally discuss it with you,” Zack said. The man suddenly let out a cold chuckle and looked at Zack with a mocking gaze. “Zack, right? Who do you think you are? Do you really think you’re worthy of talking to me?” The Yeager family members’ faces changed instantly upon hearing his words. No one expected such blatant disrespect. They were shocked and confused. Zack had shown up personally, but the representatives of the Swansong Group still did not take them seriously. They treated Zack like he was nothing. The representatives of the Swansong
The Yeager family members gathered in the living room. “By now, Alex should have signed the contract with the Swansong Group,” Damien said. “If everything goes well, our family’s future will be brighter than ever! Partnering with the Swansong Group is a huge opportunity,” Zack said with a smile. “Yeah, I can’t believe we got this lucky!” Everyone was happy and excited for what was ahead. Thud! Thud! Suddenly, a muddy figure burst in from outside and fell to the floor. “Who are you?” The Yeager family members jumped in shock. When they saw who it was, their faces were filled with surprise. “Alex? Why do you look like this? What happened?” Zack asked. “Grandpa…” Alex called out, then suddenly started crying. Zack frowned. He sensed bad news. “Stop crying! Tell me what happened! What about the contract? Did you sign it?” “Grandpa, the Swansong Group refused to sign it with me. They looked down on me and said I wasn’t worthy,” Alex said. He felt humiliated. “Wha
The middle-aged man’s face immediately changed, and he shouted, “What did you say?!” Alex was shocked by his reaction. He felt nervous. He was not sure what had gone wrong. “You kicked Mr. Fox out? How dare you treat him like that?! You… Argh!” The man was furious, and his face twisted in anger. Alex was scared by his reaction. He did not understand why the representatives of the Swansong Group were so upset about Dustin being replaced. After all, Dustin was just the surviving descendant of the Fox family. Why would such a small thing make such important people so angry? What was Dustin even worth? “Please calm down,” Alex said humbly. “I’m the highest-ranking member of the third-generation descendants of the Yeager family. I’m here to sign the contract with you in complete sincerity.” “You?” The man looked at Alex coldly and sneered. “Who are you? Do you really think you can even talk to me?” “I…” Alex was left speechless. He could see how much the man looked down
The sky was gray today, with light rain. But no matter how bad the weather was, the Yeager family was too excited to care. Everyone had gathered together, and their faces were full of joy and excitement. Today, they were signing a contract with the Swansong Group. Alex held the contract proudly. Zack patted Alex’s shoulder and said hopefully, “Alex, our family’s future depends on you!” Everyone looked at Alex. This deal was a huge opportunity for the Yeager family. It could make them twice as powerful. “Grandpa, don’t worry! I won’t let anyone down. I’ll make sure everything goes smoothly!” Alex promised confidently. He was overjoyed and had been feeling great since yesterday. After all, he had taken this opportunity and credit away from Dustin. Just thinking about how Dustin had no choice but to accept it made Alex happier. “It’s just signing a contract. How hard can it be?” Alex was not worried at all. Dustin had already done all the negotiations. All Alex neede
“Alex, I’m putting you in charge of the Mayhill development project. Make sure you handle it well.” Zack publicly announced that Alex would be in charge of the big project. It was no surprise, as Alex was his favorite grandson. “Got it, Grandpa. Don’t worry, I’ll do it right and won’t let you down!” Alex patted his chest and promised. He was thrilled. He did not expect Dustin’s hard work to end up benefiting him. It was a huge surprise. The more he saw Dustin’s angry face, the happier he felt. The Yeager family members watched Dustin with cold eyes and gloated. Alex was happy and looked at Dustin with mockery. “This isn’t fair!” Patricia yelled. “Why should Alex take the credit for a deal Dustin made? Aren’t you ashamed of yourselves?” “Enough!” Zack shouted. “Patricia, know your place! How dare you speak like that to your elders?” someone yelled at her. “Patricia, the Yeager family has done a lot for you and your mom over the years. You should be more respectful
