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.
“Mr. Zimmer, can we meet? I’d like to talk to you,” Simone said. “Let’s meet at York Hotel, then.” The voice sounded enigmatic. But Simone did not want to delay the meeting. She immediately drove to York Hotel. Once they got there, both Simone and Dustin took the elevator and hurried to the room Jack Zimmer had mentioned. In the room was a young man sitting on a couch. Beside him stood two bodyguards, and the table in front of him was covered in food. While they were on their way to the hotel, Simone had told Dustin about Jack. He was the heir to the Zimmer family, a powerful family in Rivenesco, and he was also handed the huge responsibility of running his family’s business at a very young age. He was also the one who acted as a liaison between his company and Simone’s when it came to the supply of materials. When he saw Simone walk in, Jack smiled, but when he saw Dustin with her, his face darkened a little. “Sorry for making you wait, Mr. Zimmer,” said Simone apologe
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
No one had ever been able to truly measure the strength of the masters of Star Tower. What people did not realize was that the masters of Star Tower were on a completely different level from ordinary people. “Now, that’s more like it!” Brody grinned and admired Dustin a bit. “Master Dustin, you don’t look much older than me. Did you inherit your position from the old master? I wonder how strong you really are,” Brody said. Brody had no fear and respect for Star Tower. Seeing how young Dustin was, he respected him even less. “Even I don’t know how strong I am,” Dustin said calmly. “Want to find out?” “Yes!” Brody grinned. Whoosh! Before he even finished speaking, Brody charged at Dustin with incredible speed and kicked up a strong gust of wind. With that kind of speed and force, he could easily knock over a small car. Adrian thought about stopping him but decided not to. Brody needed to learn a lesson. “Let’s see if you can handle this!” In an instant, Brody wa
After witnessing the whole Dhillon family mess, Dustin was ready to head home. Patricia had just called to ask where he was, and he had promised to return quickly. As soon as Dustin and Adrian got into the car, Adrian’s phone rang. Adrian answered while he started the engine. “Brody, just say what you need to say.” It was Brody on the line. Unlike his arrogant attitude at the Dhillon family’s hotel, Brody sounded friendly with Adrian. It seemed like he was begging for something. A moment later, Adrian hung up. “My Liege, Brody wants to meet you,” Adrian said. “The news about Star Tower having a new master has already spread. The Cabello family may not be directly under Star Tower’s control, but their ancestors originally came from Star Tower before rising to power. They still have close ties with it, so of course, they’ve heard about you. “Brody found out some things about you from me. He even made a special request to his family just so he could come to Hattan and
Even the top-tier families had to submit to him?! How could such a thing be possible? “I can’t believe someone like that exists!” The guests were completely shocked. It sounded unreal. What kind of power or ability did this person have to make even the top-tier families submit to him? It was unbelievable. “This is too much! We’re talking about the top-tier families!” Some people still doubted it. “The top-tier families? So?” Brody sighed. He sounded emotional. “Anyone lucky enough to meet that person usually ends up creating their own powerful empire without much effort.” The guests were stunned, as if they were hearing about a legend or a myth. Building an empire was a huge achievement. Yet, could just meeting this person make it easy? Could someone like that really exist? “Mr. Cabello, who is this person?” one guest asked eagerly. If they could meet him, their lives would change completely! “I can’t say.” Brody glanced toward the pillar in the party hall.
“How could it be fake? We had multiple experts examine it! They all said it was a genuine antique! They even gave us a certificate to prove it!” Kendall clutched his bleeding face and yelled in frustration. The guests looked at each other. Everyone thought the Dhillon family was about to rise in power, just like the Yeager family. The atmosphere had been so celebratory just moments ago. Who could have expected things to take such a dramatic turn? Kendall refused to believe it. He could not believe it. The Dhillon family had spent 70 million on this item and believed it would bring them great benefits, yet Brody said it was fake. “My Liege, is that pot real?” Adrian whispered. “Of course, it’s real. It belonged to the old master,” Dustin said casually. That was his old chamber pot. There was no doubt about it. But as the master of Star Tower, Dustin had the power to decide what was real and what was fake. If he wanted it to be real, it would be real. If he wanted it to b
“Where’s the item?” Brody glanced at him. His face remained cold and serious. “Don’t worry. I’ll bring it out right away.” Kendall led Brody to the center of the hall and poured him a glass of red wine. “Mr. Cabello, these are Damien and Jade Yeager from the Yeager family. They’re both future heirs to their family businesses,” Kendall said as a way of introduction. Damien and Jade smiled and reached out for a handshake. But Brody just glanced at them, let out an “oh,” and looked away. He could not be bothered with them. Damien and Jade froze in front of everyone awkwardly. Their hands hung midair for a few seconds before they pulled them back. They had not expected Brody to be so dismissive. They felt embarrassed. But neither dared to say anything. “He’s got quite an attitude,” Dustin said. “Well, most top-tier families look down on smaller ones. Brody is just more obvious about it. He only respects people stronger than him and doesn’t even acknowledge those beneath
Dustin had become very well-known in Hattan after making a big impression at the Yeager family’s birthday party. As he walked into the hotel’s party hall, people recognized him. Many greeted him with smiles, and he nodded back politely. “I thought Kendall and Dustin didn’t get along. Why would he come to a Dhillon family event?” someone whispered. “It’s more than that. They hate each other! You know what? Kendall likes Patricia, and Dustin is his biggest rival.” “One is a rising star in Hattan with a mysterious background, and the other is the Dhillon family heir who is about to ally with a top-tier family. There might be some drama tonight!” Dustin ignored the whispers. He took a glass of red wine, stood by a pillar, and quietly looked around. The Yeager and Dhillon families had built connections with two powerful families. People in Hattan admired them and wanted to stay on their good side. Damien, Alex, and Kendall were surrounded by guests, and all were eager to flat
