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
Jack’s bodyguards walked toward Dustin. Before Jack took over the family business, he was an arrogant, no-good piece of trash who relied on his family’s power to boss people around. He hired the two bodyguards and offered them a very high salary. Over the years, they helped him deal with plenty of people who offended him. Jack had no respect for a mere assistant like Dustin. After he ordered his bodyguards, he did not bother looking at him again. He picked up his wine glass and took a sip, but before he swallowed… Bam! Bam! He heard two dull thuds. He smirked and looked up but was stunned into silence. His two bodyguards had landed heavily on either side of the couch. “What?” Jack frowned and looked at Dustin in surprise. Then, with a dark face, he said, “Ha! I must admit you’re pretty good.” He set down his wine glass and said nonchalantly, “Do you know who I am? If you don’t, ask Simone. “All those who offend me end up in two ways. Either they break their own li
Jack screamed in pain. “Well?” “You want to know? Keep dreaming!” Jack roared. Dustin stomped down on his other arm. Jack nearly fainted from the pain of having both his arms broken. His hatred toward Dustin raged like a forest fire. Simone’s heart raced when she saw this. Even when the Langley family was at their peak, they could not compare to the Zimmer family. They could not afford to provoke them at all. She was worried that she would not be able to protect Dustin if he injured Jack too much. “Still not talking? Fine, don’t.” Seeing Jack still being stubborn, Dustin was dissatisfied and stomped down on his left leg. Before Jack could scream, he stomped down on his right leg as well. At that point, all his limbs were almost broken. But Dustin showed no pity. He could never tolerate anyone lusting after Simone! “I’ll talk…” In the end, Jack could no longer endure the pain. As he broke out in a cold sweat, he said, “No one ordered me… Amara Wyatt came to u
Jack was wrapped up in bandages and placed in the Zimmer family’s hall. All the core family members of the Zimmer family were present. Klein Zimmer sat in the family’s head seat with a stormy face. “What happened?” he asked coldly as his gaze swept over every member of the Zimmer family. The Zimmer family members were silent. No one dared to say anything. “Hmph!” Klein slammed his hand down on the side table, and it shattered to pieces. The members of the Zimmer family were terrified. Klein looked at one particular person with a cold glare and asked in an equally cold voice, “Jack is your son. Are you going to tell me you don’t know what happened?” Felix Zimmer, Jack’s father, trembled. “This is all Simone Langley’s fault!” he hissed. “We were just doing business, and businessmen prioritize profit above all. The Langley Group offered a lower price for our materials compared to the Wyatt family, so there’s nothing wrong with us choosing to work together with them! “B
The Riverine had seven floors, each with a unique and elegant design. As you went higher, the view of the river became even more beautiful, and the rooms grew more luxurious. Anyone who could go to the Riverine was either rich or important. Just being there showed status and was a way to flaunt one’s position. However, Evan and Yvonne did not hold a high position in the Yeager family. They could only dine in the dining area on the first floor. Even Zack could only go up to the third floor. The important figures from the three newly rising noble families in Hattan could only go up to the fourth floor. Only someone like Nico, who came from a powerful family and held a key role, could go up to the fifth floor. “We actually have the chance to go up to the fifth floor of the Riverine! This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! What a great honor! We owe it all to Mr. Zabel.” Evan and Yvonne grinned from ear to ear. They kept complimenting Nico and tried to flatter him constantl
“Hello, Mr. Zabel,” Patricia said with a forced smile. Her voice sounded a bit awkward. Inside, she felt uncomfortable but did not want to upset someone from such a powerful family. “Sorry for keeping everyone waiting,” Nico said with a big smile. He was clearly happy with Patricia. “By the way, why are you all on the first floor? It’s so crowded and noisy here.” “Oh, don’t flatter us,” Yvonne said. “You know, the Riverine is the top restaurant in Hattan. It has seven floors, and the higher you go, the fancier it gets. But you need money and a certain status to go higher. “With our status, we can only eat on the first floor. We can’t go any higher.” “Is that so? I’ve heard a little about it,” Nico said. “On the second floor, only high-ranking people are allowed. The third, fourth, and fifth floors are for people from Hattan’s top families.” “I’ll ask someone to see how high I can go.” Nico called the manager over. “You’re the heir from the Zabel family of Hattan?
Faced with their aggressive questioning and yelling, Dustin stayed calm and did not seem bothered at all. “It doesn’t matter if you agree or not. What matters is whether Patricia is willing,” he said with a smile. “As long as she agrees, no one can stop us from being together!” The others all thought highly of themselves and believed their opinions were the truth. But Dustin did not feel the need to argue. If that was their mindset, he might as well go along with it. However, his calm response only made them angrier. Evan’s eyes widened in anger as he yelled, “You’re shameless!” Yvonne, dressed in expensive jewelry, agreed with Evan. She said disdainfully, “You should look at yourself in the mirror. You want to marry Patricia? Do you think you’re worthy? “A broke guy like you could never afford to come to the Riverine. How could you give her a good life? We’re just looking out for her happiness!” she added with an entitled look. “Don’t think just because you got picked
After leaving the hotel, Patricia wanted to go straight back to Mayhill. Things were going well there, and she wanted to stay there 24/7 in case something went wrong. But she got a phone call that changed her mind. “My uncle invited us to dinner at the Riverine,” Patricia told Dustin over the phone. “We haven’t had a proper meal with them since we got back.” Dustin did not say much and just went along with her. The Riverine was a fancy restaurant by the river in Hattan. It was known as one of the most elegant and luxurious places in the city. The seven-story building stood tall by the water. It looked like a grand old pagoda. Every floor was beautifully decorated and gave off a classic and sophisticated feel. By the time Patricia and Dustin arrived, Evan and Yvonne were already waiting in the dining area. When they saw Patricia, they greeted her with warm smiles. Patricia looked puzzled and asked, “Uncle Evan, Aunt Yvonne, why pick such an expensive place for dinner?”
After speaking, Dustin looked at Curtis. His eyes were intense and confident, as if he already understood everything. Curtis was taken aback, then quickly composed himself. He was filled with uncontrollable joy. “Thank you for your trust! On behalf of the whole Swansong Group, I swear to serve you with my life. We will do everything to follow your orders!” Curtis’s voice trembled in excitement. At this moment, Curtis felt both awe and gratitude. It was truly a huge honor to receive the mysterious and powerful master of Star Tower’s trust and be given such an important responsibility! He also knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. If he helped Dustin succeed, the Swansong Group would experience huge growth and success. Thinking of this, he silently vowed to give his best and not let Dustin down. When the rest of the Swansong Group heard this, they would feel just as excited as he did. After all, Dustin’s words carried great weight. In this competitive and power-driven w
Dustin returned to Mayhill Pig Farm. He walked up the mountain with an umbrella. From a distance, he saw several people waiting at the entrance. “Mr. Fox, you’re here!” When they saw Dustin, the middle-aged man in front immediately tensed up and ran over. He did not care about the rain or getting covered in mud. “Curtis Zeller, the general manager of the Swansong Group, reporting to Mr. Fox.” Curtis stopped before Dustin and bowed to him respectfully. The others behind him also ran over and bowed to Dustin. The Yeager family members did not see this. If they had, they would have been shocked. They thought Dustin had just gotten lucky and won the favor of someone from the Swansong Group. They had no idea that the famous company in Grayvale was just a tool Dustin used. Dustin nodded, and only then did the Swansong Group people straighten up. “Mr. Fox, please come in,” Curtis said with a smile. He did not dare to stand up straight before Dustin and always kept his head
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
