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
Today was the second day since Dustin issued an ultimatum at the sales office of the West River Institution. Troy and Hector sat on the soft couch in the Ziegler family villa while drinking pricey tea. It was the second day, but they were not afraid. It was almost as if they did not take Dustin’s warning seriously at all. “Dad, tomorrow will be the third day. What do you think Dustin will do?” Troy asked. “What can he do? He was just trying to scare us,” said Hector. He was unbothered. “Dustin destroyed the Cave family and the Harmon family. He is guilty of serious crimes. He has offended the General of the West. He will definitely meet a terrible end!” “I also heard some shocking news. Dustin was so bold and ignorant that he killed Arthur Williams in public. Do you think he is still alive to take back the property of the Fox family?” When Troy heard that, he looked happy. “Even if he had nine lives, it wouldn’t be enough to save him!” he said and smiled. “I already s
“Instead of wasting effort investigating something that led nowhere, it was better to focus on rebuilding the Verdant Gang.“As long as we can complete the mission, the Ziegler family will give us a huge commission. We can start by establishing our first branch.” Beanpole thought that it made sense. “Let’s decide on our next move after dealing with this Dustin first.” They arrived outside the most luxurious villa in the area. They first cautiously peeked from an inconspicuous place.“There are many people in the villa. This surviving descendant of the Fox family seems like a boss now,” said Beanpole and snorted. “It’s fine. They are just ordinary people.” Big Guy was not bothered by it. He urged Beanpole to focus on other places. At this time, Axel, the butler of the villa, was commanding the servants. He discreetly glanced at the place where they hid, but he did not react. “It looks like this is the person in charge. He must be very familiar with this area,” Beanpole
Big Guy took the unconscious Beanpole away in shock. In a place not far away from the villa in West River Institution, Big Guy pressed on Beanpole’s sternum to wake him up. Beanpole instantly sat up. His mouth and nose were bleeding, and he was dazed. “Beanpole, are you alright?” Big Guy frowned. This brat’s brain was not damaged, was it? “So powerful…” Beanpole blurted out two words in a daze before he fainted again. Big Guy frowned. He helped Beanpole sit up and transferred some pure energy to him.It was only after a while that Beanpole opened his eyes and slowly snapped out of his daze. “That butler is so powerful.” He clutched at his chest and struggled to speak. “How’s your injury?” Big Guy asked.“I’m not very optimistic. Two of my veins have been punctured, and my vital organs are also injured. I can barely muster a tenth of my full strength right now.” Beanpole looked as if he was having difficulty breathing properly. Big Guy looked surprised. Beanpole
The two top fighters of the Verdant Gang were thrown out of the villa area of West River Institution, and they fell hard. They were embarrassed. They had never suffered such humiliation before, but they dared not say anything. After they got up, they immediately ran away. They just wanted to stay away from the villa area.It was only after they had run quite a distance that they stopped to catch their breaths.Big Guy and Beanpole were shocked. They calmed down only after a long while.“Who is this surviving descendant of the Fox family?” Beanpole asked with a horrified expression. When he recalled what had happened moments ago, cold sweat poured down his face. The villa was full of fighters at the top of the ninth grade, and they were just servants. They never witnessed such a spectacle. The butler was even more horrifying. Perhaps he was already at the sovereign grade. “The surviving descendant of the Fox family treats the ninth grade fighters as servants…” Big Guy mut
“Everyone around him is an expert fighter!” Big Guy said coldly. Hector and Troy were in disbelief. There were so many people around Dustin… “Do you even realize that the servants in the villa are strong enough to form their own gangs outside!” Beanpole snorted coldly. Hector and Troy were even more shocked, and their eyes shone with disbelief. “How can it be?” Hector’s face darkened, and he found it hard to believe.Troy gritted his teeth in frustration.“40 million dollars, not a penny less!” Beanpole said angrily once again.“You didn’t even complete the task! Yet you ask for 40 million dollars! Dream on,” Troy was scared, but he held his ground.“If you don’t pay us, both of you won’t live to see the sun tomorrow!” Big Guy scowled. Hector and Troy did not respond. They were reluctant to pay 40 million dollars. “You’ll only learn the hard way!” Big Guy fiercely said, and he made a move to slit Troy’s throat.“Wait! We’ll pay 40 million!” Hector shouted. Big Guy
At the security booth in front of Creative Arts Corporation, Dustin leaned back on his chair and felt very relaxed. After the incident, Shawna did not want him to be on duty again. After all, Dustin was very rich. She and her mother were still living in his luxurious villa, so she felt awkward. But Dustin thought that he had a lot of free time on hand, so he just spent his time in the security booth. Most importantly, he could not convince Michelle to move into the new villa. Dustin had tried to convince her several times. She did not have to work, and she could just live in the villa and enjoy her life. But Michelle could not live in that kind of comfort. She insisted on doing something at least. She still wanted to come back and work as a cleaner here.Dustin did not feel at ease, so he could only come with her to make sure she was okay. Anyway, nobody annoyed him anymore in the security booth. It also did not interfere with the reports he received from Hell Hall. “Dus
“Can’t I be here?” Waylon snorted. His tone was unfriendly. “Mr. Dixon is my friend. Since he wants to talk about a contract with a company under the Riley family, it’s only natural for me to accompany him here.”When Waylon said that, he glanced coldly at Dustin. He did not expect that this damn security guard would also come along. He could just deal with them both this way.Shawna could not say anything to that. She looked at Mr. Dixon. “Mr. Dixon, I’m sorry for the inconvenience,” she said in embarrassment. Kenneth Dixon stared at Shawna, but he could not look away. He had agreed to help Waylon and humiliate her, but her beauty was beyond what he had expected. As a spoiled brat of rich parents, his lewd thoughts were reflected on his face. Waylon saw this, and eyes darted cunningly before he sneered. “Shawna, who do you think you are? How dare you make Mr. Dixon wait for you here? You really don’t know your place!” he said angrily.When Shawna was about to say
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
