Elisa returned home with a temper.“Amara, that useless Dustin really didn’t take anything from the Wyatt family. The Langley family took him in,” she said huffily.“The Langley family?” Amara frowned.“Yes. The one called Simone Langley. She brought some gifts to the house that one time. But I sent her packing because you didn’t want to see her.”Amara thought about it.“I remember now. The company owned by the Langley family wanted a partnership, but I ignored them. I heard their company is on the brink of bankruptcy now…”“Yes! That’s the same Langley family.” Elisa nodded earnestly.“Their company’s going bankrupt. The family’s not going to survive much longer. I can’t believe they dared take that piece of trash in. It makes no sense!“That trash Dustin even claimed that the Wyatt family owes him. Isn’t that laughable?”Elisa’s sisters all reacted in different ways.Some mocked him, others felt disdainful, and yet others treated it with cool indifference.“Dustin was not
“Mr. Mortimer, for such a huge order… Are you sure you want to work with us?”David and Simone could hardly believe it.The Langley Group was on the verge of bankruptcy.It was almost a pipe dream to be able to work with the Excelsior Group.“Mr. Langley, is my visit to your doorstep not enough to show my sincerity?” Duke joked.“Of course not!” David waved a hand. “It’s just hard for us to believe that someone of your stature would come all the way here…”Duke glanced at Dustin calmly.“I heard about what happened to the Langley family. What you did was honorable. It’s worthy of respect. You refused to sell products that did not meet your expectations. You even took on huge debts just to make sure substandard goods weren’t released into the market. The Excelsior Group needs partners like you.”Duke’s words brought tears to David’s eyes.“Thank you… thank you…” He said the same thing over and over again.This order was exactly what the Langley family needed at the moment.“D
Amara walked into the Wyatt family villa with a long face.“Amara, what happened?” her sister asked.“The president of the Excelsior Group was with the Langley family and personally signed a contract with them,” Amara said coldly. “As for the Wyatt Group, we’ve been betrayed.”Amara said all that very calmly. Yet, a fierce rage simmered under the calm.“The Langley family is nothing! What does the Excelsior Group see in them?” The others found the situation hard to believe.“There’s no point in discussing this,” Amara said with a frown.“Remember, from this day forward, the Langley family is an enemy to the Wyatt Group. I have only one goal from now, and that is to utterly destroy the Langley family.”The other sisters were all quiet.Once Amara decided to do something, she stopped at nothing until it was done.That was the kind of power she had as the president of the Wyatt Group.“That insolent Dustin told me to get lost!” Amara’s voice was icy.The scene at the Langley family kept r
“Dustin Fox, you stole a check worth a million dollars from the Wyatt family. If you don’t give it back, I’ll break all your limbs!”Elijah snarled with a cruel smile.“A check?” Dustin frowned.He had not taken anything from the Wyatt family…“Actually, I was the one who took it,” Elijah said in contempt. “But the stupid women of the Wyatt family all believe you stole it, you useless trash!”He continued, “I’ll cripple you, then return with the check to prove my worth. Once I’ve gained their trust, Amara will be pleased enough to hand me the entire Wyatt Group… At that point, I’ll have everything I want at my fingertips!“As for you…” Elijah looked at Dustin mockingly. “You’re just a useless replacement. You should be honored that you’re at least useful as a stepping stone for me.”Dustin’s face turned cold.What a cunning plan!The Wyatt sisters had probably never even dreamed of the possibility that their little brother that they worked so hard to find would scheme against
Delia brought out her laptop and logged in to a website.“This website has the world’s top physicians on it. Everyone’s ranking is clearly stated here. Although I’m renowned in Rivenesco, there are only intermediate grade physicians here. There are still other ranks like the top grade physicians, titan grade physicians, and at the top, the Medical Sage, who is a miracle grade physician!”Delia clicked on the website as she spoke.“The veteran physicians we have in Lovellia are top grade at most. Only a few world-famous ones can be considered titan grade physicians…“As for the Medical Sage, the world only has one! That’s my teacher, the Medical Sage, Foxtin!”Delia lit up when she mentioned her teacher’s name. She felt deeply honored and incredibly proud of that!Thinking back on how she had become Foxtin’s student, Delia felt like it was something from a dream.Back then, she had been a newly graduated medical intern. She had limited knowledge about many things.When she had j
In the end, Elijah could not stand the pain anymore and passed out.The five Wyatt sisters finally had some peace.“You all take good care of him. He should feel a little better tomorrow,” Delia said. “I’ll go contact some other renowned physicians.”They could not put their hopes on Delia anymore.The unconscious Elijah was at least quiet at the moment.The sisters watched over him throughout the night. They thought that the worst was over and planned to get some rest in the morning.But when Elijah suddenly woke up, he started screaming in pain again.The five Wyatt sisters were mentally and physically exhausted. They were on the verge of collapse.“It’s that useless Dustin’s fault!” Elisa said hatefully. “He was the one who hurt Eli this way. We can’t let him off so easily!”“He was the one who hurt Eli, so he must know how to fix him.”As she said that, Elisa sprang up. She was ready to go visit him.“Amara, I want to go to the Langley family again,” she said decisively.
“Simone, are you alright?”Dustin gently pressed a warm cloth to Simone’s face and asked in concern.Simone looked at him with tenderness.“I’m fine. You should check on Miss Elisa…” she whispered as she looked at Elisa.Elisa had been slapped twice, and both her cheeks were swollen. She was in far worse shape than her.“She’s just an outsider. Why should I bother about her? I might go as far as to say that the slap wasn’t nearly hard enough,” said Dustin coldly.Simone opened her mouth but did not say anything.The Wyatt family had kicked Dustin out of the family first. They had been so cruel to him, so she supported Dustin.Elisa covered her face and stood by the window as she stared outside.She could hear their conversation.When she heard Dustin calling her an outsider, she felt furious.He used to be a servant of the Wyatt family. How dare he act like he was someone important?“Ungrateful brat! That b*stard!” she cursed at him.She vowed to take her revenge for the s
Even after the Langley family bid farewell to Ronald and the leaders of the Serpentine Gang, they could not quite wrap their heads around what had happened.“The members of the Serpentine Gang were very polite. They were completely different from how they were before,” David said seriously. “Politeness isn’t really in the Serpentine Gang’s vocab.”The Serpentine Gang was the most predominant of all the gangs in Rivenesco, and they had a fearsome reputation aside from just one defeat against Elisa a few years ago.This time was just as unexpected and unpredictable as last time.Why were they so harsh to Elisa, while treating the Langley family so politely?‘What’s the reason?’ David thought and frowned.Although this was a good thing, it was very strange and made him overthink.“David, don’t think too much about it. Isn’t the Langley Group collaborating with the Excelsior Group? With the reputation of the Excelsior Group, it is only natural that the Serpentine Gang would show you
Would Dustin and Simone be able to handle this? Simone panicked a little. For a moment, she was unable to handle the questioning of the media and the crowd. “I don’t have a medical license, but I don’t plan on seeing patients at Peace Hospital,” Dustin announced loudly. “As for the treatment of Mr. Vance, I only treated him because the family begged me to.” “Yeah, right! I’m sure that’s what happened! Since you’re not seeing patients and there are very few physicians at this hospital, you might as well close it down!” Clarence said with a laugh. “The hospital will not close its doors. We do not lack physicians.” “You don’t lack physicians? Do you think we’re all blind? Or did you come up with a bunch of quacks without medical licenses from somewhere?” A ripple of laughter rose from the crowd. Clarence was elated. He felt that he had thoroughly beaten Dustin and Simone. Dustin scoffed and looked at the street behind the crowd. There was the blare of car horns as
“The miracle doctor who cured Germaine Vance is here!” When Dustin and Simone showed up, the crowd immediately surged toward them. “There are so many people!” Simone was a little shocked. In the past three days, Simone had secretly been feeding Dustin’s reputation as a miracle doctor and pushing it all across Hattan. Even so, she had never expected it would garner such a huge response. “There are many patients, too. This is a good thing.” Everything was progressing nicely. “Will Dustin be able to handle so many patients?” David asked. Simone frowned. Dustin was not a robot. There was no way he could spend all day and all night just seeing patients. “Besides, we can’t take any patients other than the ones here for neurological issues because we don’t have any other physicians. In a few days, the hospital will be empty again.” With that, Simone’s mood was ruined again. The members of the main Langley family had arrived as well. The crowd at the entrance to P
“That hospital is an empty shell now. Let’s see how they make a comeback like this. I’m afraid just trying to limit the losses will be harder than fighting God!” As the main branch of the Langley family mocked Dustin, news about Germaine Vance spread. When they heard about what happened, they all shut up. They were stunned to the core. “Dustin saved the Vance family’s patriarch?” They all jumped up as though they had been struck by lightning. “How is that possible? Even Clarence didn’t know what his condition was. How could he have cured Germaine just like that?” The unacceptable thing was that Dustin had managed to get the Vance family to owe him a debt. This was the Vance family of Somerton, which used to be even more powerful than the four prominent families of the present! Even they had to suck up to the Vance family. However, they did not even have that chance! In an instant, the whole family fell quiet. After a long while, they composed themselves. “The Va
“My friend, you saved my father. I shall keep my promise and apologize to you on my knees!” Rowan walked up to Dustin and prepared to get down on his knees. “Forget it,” Dustin said. Rowan was a hot-blooded man. Rowan being willing to set aside his pride and apologize to Dustin, considering the position the Vance family held in society, was quite a feat. Dustin respected such a person. “Thank you!” Rowan looked grateful. He was a very important man in Somerton. If he really got down on his knees, his pride would not be able to take it. “The Vance family owes you a great debt! We will take my father home to rest. Later, we will come back and reward you greatly!” “There’s no need for that. Just pay the medical fees.” Dustin did not take the whole thing very seriously. Soon, the Vance family left. However, Rowan committed Dustin to memory. Dustin had miraculous medical skills. Plus, he had a very powerful martial artist at his beck and call. There was no w
“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
