Standing outside the gates of the McCall family villa in Grayvale, Dustin’s face darkened with anger. He radiated a fierce and unyielding aura. The gates of the McCall family villa were tightly shut. Dustin slowly walked up and extended his hand. He slapped the gates away. Boom! His powerful and domineering pure energy surged into the gates and instantly reduced them to dust. The sound of the explosion echoed throughout the McCall family villa and startled Jonathan. His face darkened as he quickly appeared at the gates. When he saw that it was Dustin standing there, his face turned grim. “Dustin, what do you think you’re doing? What’s wrong with you?” Jonathan demanded angrily. To him, Dustin had always been a worthy grandson-in-law. Though he did not want to lash out, Dustin’s destruction of the villa’s gates was a clear provocation that could not be ignored. Dustin walked into the villa with an icy face. “You have the nerve to ask me that?” His eye
“Joseph McCall!” Dustin spat the name coldly. “W-What…?” Jonathan was stunned. Dustin knew the name of the McCall family’s elder… “You suspect… that Joseph poisoned Allison?” Jonathan asked in disbelief. “No! That’s impossible. Joseph would never do something like that!” Joseph was a person of immense prestige. How could he stoop so low to poison a grandchild of his own family? “Joseph has always been upright and honorable. His position in this family has always been respectable. How could he possibly lower himself like that? How dare you tarnish his name!” Jonathan’s anger surged. Dustin, however, was uninterested in explaining anything to him. The one who would benefit from his union with Allison was the McCall family, and if Jonathan was not behind it, then the only other possibility was the family’s revered elder, Joseph. Dustin took a step forward toward the depths of the villa. “Stop!” Jonathan growled as he stepped to block Dustin’s way. “Dustin, Jos
Dustin strode toward the direction where Jonathan pointed. In all honesty, he did not need directions. Dustin could sense Joseph’s presence just fine. It was a formidable presence. It was an intimidating presence of someone at the top of the martial arts hierarchy of Lovellia. Dustin knew that the man had also noticed his approach and was waiting for him. As he entered a quiet courtyard, Dustin’s cold gaze fell upon the elder standing with hands clasped behind his back. That was Joseph McCall, the revered elder of the McCall family. Their eyes met across space, and tension filled the air. Jonathan stood behind them as he watched nervously. He was too afraid to speak. The level of confrontation occurring here made his heart race with dread. After a long while, the silence broke. “You’re here. Come in and sit,” Joseph said calmly. Dustin stepped into the courtyard with a cold expression, while Jonathan followed him. “Was it you who used the Smoke of De
He had never considered himself a saint, but he certainly did not think of himself as a villain either. Joseph’s lips twitched. His face was dark with anger. He had successfully set Dustin up, but Dustin was defiant right back. Who would have thought that such a brilliant and unparalleled genius would stoop to such audacity? It was just as no one had predicted that Joseph, one of the Five Supremes, would resort to such underhanded tactics. For a brief moment, Joseph felt the bitter sting of having his own schemes backfire. “How dare you!” His face turned feral, and his voice was laced with fury. Jonathan stood frozen in shock. Never had he seen Joseph like that. “Why wouldn’t I dare?” Dustin sneered coldly. “Don’t think that this ends here. You dared to scheme against me, so now you’ll bear the full brunt of my wrath!” Joseph’s eyes narrowed. “What do you intend to do?” “Take you down!” Dustin roared. His fist swung forward like a storm. Joseph was qu
“How is this even possible?” Jonathan could not believe his eyes. In the middle of the wreckage, Joseph was buried beneath a pile of rubble, while Dustin stood across from him. He was completely unscathed. Dustin seemed to have come out on top of their clash… “Dustin… could he really fight a Supreme?” Jonathan’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief. He was usually calm under pressure, but this? This was beyond anything he could process. But who could blame him? Joseph was one of the Five Supremes in the world and was regarded as someone at the top of the martial arts world. In such a situation, any powerful martial artist from the martial arts world would find it impossible to remain calm. A young martial artist in his twenties did not only face Joseph but also gained the upper hand. Who would ever believe such a thing? “In the past three hundred years of Lovellia’s martial history, when has there ever existed a monster like this?” Jonathan muttered to him
It took Jonathan a long time to calm down. “Joseph, why did you do this?” he asked with a grim face. Joseph sighed. “Dustin is an unparalleled talent. I thought we could control him and turn him into an asset of the McCall family…” he said slowly. “But who would have thought that he’s not a budding talent but a true mature and powerful force?” He paused briefly before changing the topic. “The McCall family’s plans can’t be delayed any further… There will surely be chaos in the future.” Joseph was conflicted. “Not only did we fail to keep Dustin under control, but we’ve also provoked him. What should we do now?” “No matter the cost, the McCall family must move forward,” Joseph declared solemnly. “As for Dustin, his strength is unfathomable… For now, we’ll leave him be.” … After leaving the McCall family villa, Dustin returned to the hotel. He stood at the door for a moment before opening it. Allison was already awake. She was taking a shower in the
In the evening, a convoy of luxury cars slowly approached Grayvale International Airport. Security checkpoints made no attempt to stop them and allowed the vehicles to drive directly onto the tarmac. When the cars came to a stop, a man hurried to the sleek black car in the middle and opened the rear door on the right side. He bowed respectfully as he stepped aside. A woman in a red coat emerged from the car. Removing her sunglasses, she glanced at the vast Grayvale International Airport. “Rivenesco is nothing compared to a place like Grayvale,” Amara surveyed the area condescendingly as her lips curled into a smile. It had been several days since she left the Wyatt family in Rivenesco and finally arrived in Grayvale. Bianca and Elisa both went missing in Lannopolis. She had learned that Dustin had also arrived in Grayvale, so she decided to come to this important city in the West. Instead of making an immediate grand entrance, Amara kept her actions low-key and wor
In one of Grayvale’s most exclusive hotels, the younger generation of martial arts families often gathered. This was the same venue where Allison had once taken Dustin along to participate in several gambling matches. The host, Henry, was entertaining a group of young heirs from the city’s most prominent families. Bam! Suddenly, a loud crash echoed from the entrance. Then, two doormen landed heavily in the hall. “Who is it?” One of Henry’s lackeys bellowed. Moments later, a young man strolled in with a small entourage of his own. It was Elijah who had freshly arrived in Grayvale. “Who do you think you are? Do you have any idea where you are?!” someone shouted angrily. “I’ve heard this is where Grayvale’s brightest martial prodigies gather. I thought I’d drop by and see if the rumors were true.” Elijah smiled faintly. “You arrogant fool! Let me teach you a lesson!” Immediately, one of the young martial artists charged at Elijah. Elijah’s expression was
“How did they get poisoned? So many people at that! “What should we do? Dr. Campbell, if you don’t have a solution, how will we save these patients?“Could it be that… Peace Hospital is coming to an end?” Simone was very anxious. She could not handle this situation. She was unable to do anything about it.“Miss Simone, why are you panicking?” Pedro asked with an amused expression. “This situation is desperate. How can I not panic? But Dr. Campbell, why are you so calm?” Simone looked very worried.“The strange poison is scary, and I also can’t do anything at the moment, but this isn’t a very difficult situation for the hospital.”“Even when you don’t have the solution? How is this not a difficult situation? Can we still count on other people?” Simone asked. “Where’s Mr. Fox? Please ask him to come here,” Pedro said.Simone felt puzzled. If even the top physician was helpless. What could Dustin do? She noticed that the noble and reputable Dr. Campbell was very polite wh
On the way back, everyone from the Langley family was in a bad mood. They initially went to watch a farce, but they had instead witnessed an interesting scene. No one could understand why so many famous physicians rushed to join Dustin’s small, private hospital when it was about to go bankrupt. What was even more incredulous was that they did not even want to be paid. Was it not the biggest joke ever? It did not make any sense at all. But one thing was for sure: this hospital would make a comeback. It would be a huge threat to Goodwill Hospital of the Langley family, and they did not have much of a competitive edge in this. “I wonder why they are so lucky! Are the famous physicians out of their minds?” “Are we just going to sit still and do nothing? Are we not running our hospital anymore?” Everyone was in a bad mood, and some people started complaining. “Don’t worry, there are tons of ways to bring down a hospital,” someone said meaningfully. … Today, Simone sat
However, when Pedro heard all this, he burst into laughter. “Your strength of character is priceless. Don’t worry. We did not come here because of money. Our salary is not important. We don’t mind even if we aren’t paid a cent. Just don’t let us go to work hungry.” Once again, Simone could not believe her ears. These physicians did not even care about getting a decent salary! In reality, any hospital would welcome these physicians with open arms and offer exorbitant salaries as long as they were willing to work for them. “How is this possible? They don’t even want a salary!” The media outlets were all taken aback. Simone’s family exchanged puzzled glances. This was a miracle! It was as if they were in a dream. “As for the hospital’s equipment, that’s not a problem at all,” Pedro said. He told some people to open the trunks of the cars. The trunks of the cars were filled with the latest medical equipment and tools. “We’ve brought the latest medical equipment. I
After dealing with Clarence, Pedro looked at Simone and Dustin. “Hello, Miss Simone,” Pedro said with a smile and put out his hand to shake Simone’s. Simone’s eyes went wide, and she was stunned. Pedro was a legendary person, a majestic grade physician, and a true national treasure of Lovellia. Not only did a person like that know her name, but he was also reaching out to shake hands with her! When Clarence had tried to shake hands with Pedro, he had not even looked at the man. Stunned by the attention she was getting, Simone could not react for a while. She was frozen in place. “Simone!” Excited, Monique quickly shook Simone. As if she had just woken up from a dream, Simone quickly shook hands with Pedro. “H-Hello, Dr. Campbell. I’m simply too excited. I hope you can excuse my actions.” Pedro was very kind and reassured Simone. He told her there was no need to be so nervous. “Miss Simone, these others and I are all here to join Peace Hospital. I hope you’ll h
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
