Energy Form-Shifting! It was another example of Energy Form-Shifting! Joseph had never imagined that Dustin would be able to use the same skill. “Not everyone can manage Energy Form-Shifting…” Joseph was truly stunned. Dustin was only about twenty years old. To be able to become a Martial Saint at his age already made him a rare prodigy. It was rare to find someone like him who could kill a high-class Martial Saint. This kind of person only appeared once in a few decades. This was why the McCall family wanted to protect Dustin at all costs. They wanted it so badly that they disturbed him and made him leave Central Harbor. After coming here today and fighting Dustin, Joseph was truly taken aback. It was unreal that Dustin had already reached this level. It was extraordinary! He was not even a Martial King yet… Although Joseph had experienced much in his life, his emotions were in turmoil. Had someone like Dustin ever existed in the martial world? He was
“Mrs. Swift, you shouldn’t keep working here as a janitor,” Dustin said to Michelle seriously in the Creative Arts Corporation office. Dustin had some free time, so he was prepared to make some arrangements for Michelle. He wanted her to live a life of luxury. “What am I supposed to do if not this?” Michelle sighed. “Besides, Miss Shawna gave me this chance, so I have to work hard.” “Don’t worry, Mrs. Swift. I will take care of you. You won’t have to work. Just enjoy your golden years,” Dustin said with a smile. “Alright. You work hard, then, and I’ll leech off you.” Michelle was not taking any of this seriously. She thought that Dustin was only joking. After all, the once-successful Fox family was no more. What kind of good life could its sole surviving descendant enjoy? “Dustin, I’ve saved up some money over the years. It’s not a lot, but you can ask me for money if you need it. After all, you youngsters have a lot of expenses,” Michelle said as she walked off. Dusti
Dustin eyed the young man and frowned. It was obvious that Troy had tried to woo Shawna. The look in his eyes was unmistakable. “This must be your mother. Wow, you’re gorgeous! You’re just as charming as your daughter. It’s no surprise that you’re her mother. You look amazing!” Troy had a way with words. Maisie just smiled in response. “And this is…?” Troy looked at Dustin and raised an eyebrow. “His name is Dustin Fox. He’s Shawna’s best friend,” Maisie said. She could see that Shawna disliked Troy. That was why she called Dustin her best friend. “Mom!” Shawna was taken aback. She never thought that her mother would say something so shocking. Troy’s face stiffened for a moment. He looked displeased. He had chased after Shawna for three whole years in university. He did not even give up after graduation. Yet, he never got a chance with her. Where did this punk come from? He looked so distasteful. Did Shawna really like him? Troy himself was from a respec
“40 million dollars is just pocket change?” Troy could not help but laugh. Who in Grayvale would dare to say something so bold? Even the richest person in Grayvale would not dare say such a thing. “Since it’s just pocket change for you, please do pay up, Mr. Fox,” Troy said icily. “Troy, Dustin was just joking. Please don’t take it to heart. Could you please do something about this contract?” Shawna asked anxiously. “Shawna, I’m sorry. The contract has been signed. This is legally binding. I have no way of helping,” Troy said in a fake sad tone. “If you want to blame someone, you can only blame Mr. Fox for being too arrogant. He didn’t even blink before signing that contract.” Shawna and Maisie both looked pressed. “I told you that 40 million dollars is nothing,” Dustin said slowly. “I can use my card for it, but I’m afraid your company doesn’t have something that can accept it.” “Haha. Mr. Fox, you must be joking,” Troy smiled. “We have the most advanced card ma
[The card balance is 70 million dollars] came the machine’s info. “What?!” Troy was flabbergasted. Shawna and Maisie looked at Dustin in surprise. How could he have so much money? They were not talking about a couple of million but 70 million dollars! This was a gold card, and it had a remaining balance of 70 million dollars. That meant that his purple gold card… How much money could it have on it? The three of them could hardly begin to imagine it. Shawna’s mouth was wide open. She was in utter disbelief. 70 million dollars! That was after the 40 million had been deducted! If that was added in, then it meant the card had over a billion in it. How could a mere security guard at her company have so much money? Had Dustin not come to stay with Michelle because he needed help? Was he not supposed to be so destitute that he could not even feed himself? Shawna was in shock, and it took a long time for her to regain her composure. Troy was silent for a long tim
“It’s been too long, you old butler.” The words were said so arrogantly that it made Hector’s face change immediately. That was a very distant title from another time… It had been more than a decade since someone had referred to him as a butler. Back in the day, he was the butler of the affluent Fox family. He had been highly regarded by the Fox family patriarch… Hector’s face darkened when he saw the young man smiling haughtily at him. “Who are you?” he asked. “It’s been twenty years. I suppose it’s only natural that you don’t recognize me, Mr. Ziegler,” Dustin said teasingly. Dustin’s smile was icy. The chairman of the Ziegler Group, and once, the butler of the Fox family… Dustin had investigated everyone in the Fox family, and he remembered every name. He was ready to avenge every single one of them. Whether they had the last name Fox or not, they had died a horrible death while in the household. Dustin had spent so much time investigating the Fox fami
Dustin was back to settle the score! Hector felt sheepish and angry, but mostly, he was unwilling to accept his reality. How could he bear to give up a life of such luxury? “Mr. Ziegler, who are you talking to?” The viciousness in Dustin’s gaze made Hector feel a chill. He realized that Dustin was a young man who could eliminate both the Cave and Harmon families on his own. He was someone who dared to challenge the General of the West. He went through several different emotions in quick succession. Then, his gaze fell. “Greetings, Mr. Fox,” he said with a bow. That stunned everyone in the sales office. “Dad, you’re the chairman of the Ziegler Group. Why should you be afraid of Dustin?” Troy yelled. “Shut up!” Hector shouted. “Apologize to Mr. Fox immediately. If you don’t, you’re not my son anymore. You will be kicked out of the Ziegler Group!” Troy froze. He never imagined that Hector would be so wary of Dustin. “Mr. Fox, I was wrong. I’m sorry. Ple
After leaving the sales office of West River Institute, Shawna immediately pulled Dustin to a stop. “Dustin, tell me honestly! Where did you get the money?” she asked with her eyes focused unwaveringly on him. She was absolutely shocked to learn that Dustin was the last surviving descendant of the Fox family in Grayvale. The Fox family had been destroyed many years ago. They did not have any assets or wealth. How could Dustin, who had been wandering outside for years, suddenly have so much money? He had a billion dollars… To Shawna, this was an unimaginable sum. No ordinary person would be happy working as a security guard when they had so much money. “The Fox family used to be the most powerful family in Grayvale. Is it surprising to find out that they left me some money?” Dustin said jokingly. Shawna’s face stiffened. That made sense. The Fox family used to be very influential. Whatever remaining wealth they had would surely be astronomical in amount. Even
The Yeager family members looked at each other at a loss.What the hell was the CEO doing? Everything was so elusive and confusing. They were unhappy, but they dared not show it. While they remained silent, Dustin slowly sipped his red wine, picked up a napkin, and wiped his mouth. “No signing,” he said indifferently. The Yeager family members looked over at him.“What did you say?!” Zack yelled at him with a dark face. Why was he speaking?Did he even have the right to speak? It was an extremely important collaboration. Even if Terry was protecting him, Zack could not care less. Dustin must be out of his mind since he dared to interrupt such an important discussion. “Shut up! This isn’t your place to speak!” Percy shouted. The Yeager family members were furious. They were afraid that Dustin’s reckless words would ruin the deal. “You think just because you say, ‘no signing,’ it’ll be done? Do you think you’re the CEO of Duscia Corporation?!” Damien yelled at him. He
“What’s going on with our great-grandfather? Dustin is not even related to our family. How can he treat him better than us?”A few members of the Yeager family stood on the side awkwardly while watching Dustin and the others chatting happily. Damien whispered in dissatisfaction. They could not bear the sight of this, and they felt very resentful.“Stop talking!” Warren snapped.“Don’t worry, he won’t remain so arrogant for long. Dad favors him. So? In this society, ability speaks louder than anything else,” Zack said in a low voice. “A man who lives off an inheritance without a proper job… even if he has some luck and inheritance, he’ll squander it away in no time. Then, he’ll struggle to get by. Dad will see the truth in time.“Besides, who knows how long Dad can stay conscious? Do you really think that kid can make Dad young again? I don’t believe in such an absurd thing.“Dad is already very old. We should just go along with this for now. They’re lucky they get to hang around
Dustin did not say anything. Terry was smart indeed. Zack and the others were blinded by the lure of great benefits. A while later, some voices were heard. It meant that the guest had arrived. Percy led Adrian inside. “Dad, this is Mr. Adrian Pierce, the general manager of Duscia Corporation. We always communicated with him about the collaboration,” said Warren as an introduction.Terry nodded, and he looked closely at Adrian. “This young man is not someone ordinary.” His eyes gleamed sharply as he recognized Adrian’s extraordinary presence. Different people, depending on their status and identity, carried themselves with different temperaments. When Terry was young, he used to work in Summerdale and meet many upper-class people. Adrian’s temperament was on par with the young heirs of Summerdale. “I’m Adrian Pierce. It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Yeager.” Adrian walked to Terry and bowed respectfully.This shocked the Yeager family. Adrian had such a high status, but he
A day passed in the blink of an eye. In the evening, Dustin and Patricia drove to the Yeager family villa. When they got out of the car and walked to the entrance of the Yeager family villa, they saw Percy waiting at the door. When Percy saw them, he turned livid, and his face darkened. “Uncle Percy,” said Patricia in greeting. “Hmph! So, you still recognize me as your uncle,” said Percy coldly and glared at Patricia. Patricia remained silent. Percy glanced at Dustin. His gaze shone with hatred. Patricia used to be very obedient and never dared to go against the Yeager family members. But lately, she had become so insolent even toward the patriarch of the family. Percy thought that Dustin must have led her astray. “Today, your great-grandfather invited you over for a meal. You’d better behave at the dining table and make him happy,” Percy said. “We will,” Patricia said. “Well, why are you so stubborn then? The Yeager family has agreed to let you return, yet you in
“The Tonra family sent me here to prepare to take over Hattan. We will start from the market in Hattan before we develop the market in the south. The future profits are immensely worthwhile. I’m determined to build a huge business kingdom. “Honestly, these families in Hattan are just so-so. I don’t take them seriously at all. But Duscia Corporation is fine. You just invested a hefty 2 billion right off the bat. That’s quite impressive.” Crispin smiled. “I came from the Southwestern region. I didn’t bring many workers, so we’re lacking some manpower. You’re an expert. Why don’t you work for me? I’ll make it worth your while. How about it?” He confidently offered a job to Dustin and waited for his response. Dustin stared at him calmly. “Regardless of your background, you look quite ambitious to me, but you don’t have sufficient capabilities. Hattan has limited you. If you work for me, your future will be promising!” Adrian found that amusing. Such rich spoiled brats were
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
