“Does Majestic Hotel sell Ronan wine?” Dustin asked as he held onto the wine glass. “We do. Our hotel has a stock of Ronan wine. A bottle sells for at least 100 thousand dollars. The most expensive bottle could be around 700 or 800 thousand dollars,” Tucker said immediately. “The expensive ones are priced that way because they’re vintage. The most valuable among them are priceless and are only very rarely brought out for special guests. Every time this happens, I must first give my approval.” Dustin smirked. “What a coincidence. My generous friend brought three of the hotel’s bottles of rare wine as a treat for this reunion.” Tucker’s face stiffened when he heard this. He turned around and glared at Cody. He asked, “Cody, what’s going on?” Cody was shaking all over. He looked scared. “Boss, I did not disobey your orders. These bottles of wine are not from our hotel cellars,” he said in fear. “Well, that’s strange.” Dustin smiled at Marco before looking at Cody agai
“We trusted you, but you tricked us! That’s infuriating! You made us seem so mean, too.” The surrounding guests all started laying in on Marco. They looked disdainful and no longer treated Marco like their respected class president. They all took turns to lecture him. They wanted to make it clear that they had nothing to do with Marco and were innocent in this matter. Dustin, Shawna’s “pig farmer” boyfriend, was someone that even the owner of Majestic Hotel had to treat with respect. How could any of them offend such a person? In the blink of an eye, Marco turned from an admired and respected person into someone his ex-classmates hated. The guests had done a full 180. It was like Marco had fallen from heaven right into the pits of hell. “Marco, I didn’t realize you had such a fragile ego. You tricked everyone here,” Devina said angrily. “I knew that Dustin was never that sort of person. I knew you were framing him from the start!” Dustin put on a mocking smile at that.
With a word, Dustin had banished the manager of Majestic Hotel. This made Shawna’s ex-classmates go quiet. This was the kind of influence only a very important person could have. It was the kind of thing that normal people could not even imagine. The ballroom was silent for a long while as no one dared to speak. After a long while, a man said hesitantly, “I found it strange. How could our amazing campus belle get just anyone as a boyfriend? Indeed, she found an exceptional person.” “Forget exceptional. He’s practically a god among men!” someone else said teasingly. “Shawna is truly an impeccable person and only an awe-inspiring one like Dustin can be her match. We’re hardly worthy of the same…” The guests all laughed and joked as they praised them. They were thinking of getting closer to Shawna in this way and getting some perks out of it. “Shawna, we were all fooled by Marco’s words just now. That’s why we said such awful things. We hope you can be gracious and forg
“Shawna, since the car is here, let’s get home,” Dustin said. “Okay.” Shawna nodded. She did not want to stay at this reunion any longer. The two of them stood up. Shawna’s ex-classmates wanted to get them to stay, but no one dared to speak up. They all thought that they did not have the right to do so. “Oh, right!” Dustin suddenly stopped walking. He looked over at the pale-faced Marco. “Mr. Guerrero, please remember to pay your bill in full. Majestic Hotel does not typically offer discounts to most people.” Marco’s face stiffened. “A-Alright…” Marco nodded. Dustin smiled and took Shawna’s hand to lead her outside. The guests all watched as they left. Meanwhile, Tucker bowed very low. At the entrance to the hotel, Shawna could feel her heart race when she saw the blue Rolls-Royce Phantom. She had never sat in such a high-class luxury car before. The car she drove only cost a bit over 100 thousand dollars. She probably could not afford to buy even a single tir
The Lotus Sect was the most powerful organization in the entire southwest. It had countless members, and many of them were elite fighters. Its leader and elders were all Martial Saints. The Lotus Sect was considered unmatched in the southwest. At the headquarters of the Lotus Sect in Grayvale, the powerful leader of the sect and some of its elders were gathered. On the throne were a couple. The woman was charismatic and had the bearing of a queen. The man looked slightly sinister and condescending. They held positions that were above the typical masses of the Lotus Sect and could control them all. They were Amara and Elijah Wyatt. “Miss Amara, Mr. Elijah, the various martial forces of Grayvale have pledged themselves to us,” the leader of the Lotus Sect, Humbert Whittle, said and saluted. “Now, the Lotus Sect is the true master of the martial world in the southwest. We’re even more powerful than the Martial League branch here!” “The Martial League branch in Grayvale
Today was Dustin’s last day as a security guard at Creative Arts Corporation. Shawna’s position at the company had been secured, and everything would go smoothly after this. Thus, Dustin no longer had to worry about her. Besides, he had helped Shawna enough. It was enough to repay Michelle for her kindness. Dustin was the King of Hades. He could not remain in the security booth indefinitely. It was the last hour of Dustin’s shift. Shawna was not doing much. She stood at the window of her office and watched the security booth through the glass. Her expression was complicated. After a long while, she sighed heavily. When it came down to it, she and Dustin were from different worlds. After Dustin left his post, Shawna would move out of the villa. It was nearing the end of Dustin’s shift. He handed everything over to someone else. Suddenly, several cards blazed toward the building where Creative Arts Corporation was. They came to a stop outside the security booth
“The rest is up to you now,” Dustin said to Shawna, who had personally come to see him off. They were at the entrance of Creative Arts Corporation, and Dustin had changed out of his security guard uniform. Shawna had become the head of the Riley family. She had a much higher standing than before. Dustin had given her the platform to show off her skills. What she did with it was up to her own abilities. If nothing unexpected happened, Dustin would not interfere. “Thank you, Dustin,” Shawna said sincerely. “You helped Mrs. Swift, so I helped you. We’re even,” Dustin said with a smile. “We’re even, huh?” Shawna looked a bit disappointed. After a moment, she smiled and looked up. “Don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you,” she said. Dustin nodded and waved goodbye. Then, he turned around and left. “Dustin!” Shawna cried out. Dustin turned to her. “Are we… friends?” Shawna asked. “Aren’t we?” Dustin grinned. He waved again and turned back.Shawna smiled as she w
“You may leave. I don’t help just anyone, and you are far from worthy of receiving my help,” said Dustin with a cold and indifferent face. Tyler’s face darkened. “Are you kidding me?” He felt irritated. “Don’t overestimate yourself. You’re not even good enough for me to joke around with,” Dustin said as if this was common knowledge. “Let’s go,” he said. Homer immediately started the engine and was about to step on the pedal. “You can’t!” Tyler got worked up. He grabbed the car door with both hands and used his strength to pull with force. Bam! The door on the right side at the back of the luxurious car was forced open. After all, he was a ninth grade martial artist, so his strength was far beyond ordinary people’s. “How dare you?!” Dustin’s face turned cold, and he swung his arm in anger. Whoosh! The swing of his arm instantly formed a surge of energy that charged toward Tyler. Tyler was shocked. He felt a sense of danger, so he immediately used all his inte
“The Clarke family also has an operating hospital, and it’s better than Peace Hospital! Those people are really blind!”Killian’s words reeked of jealousy and envy. “It’s impossible for someone like Simone and her small family to keep Peace Hospital afloat.“Go back and tell Simone to bring the official seal of Peace Hospital to me and sign the hospital transfer contract!“If she dares to disobey, all those poisoned patients will die, and Peace Hospital won’t be able to operate anymore!” In the face of Killian’s threat, Dustin stood his ground. “You piece of trash, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear me?” Killian glared at him with a scowl. “Are you done?” Dustin looked at him like he was a clown. Killian narrowed his eyes. “Of course, I have more conditions,” he said with a vulgar smile. “I can let Simone have fun with me for one night.“I want to see to what extent the most beautiful woman in Rivenesco can…”Before Killian even finished speaking, Dustin’s face turned sto
“My Liege, someone has delivered this note.” Right when Dustin walked out of the hospital, Drake showed up with a note. Dustin took it and glanced at it. [If you don’t want Peace Hospital to lose its reputation, Miss Simone, please go to the east of the city immediately. Come alone, or else, don’t blame me for what happens next!] An address to a location in the east of the city was scrawled at the end of the note. “Someone left the note at the guard post in front of the hospital and sent someone to deliver it to Miss Simone,” Drake said. Dustin raised his eyebrows. “So… the one being targeted is Simone?” The note said that Simone was only allowed to go there alone. “I want to see what kind of person has such guts.” Dustin snorted. He would never let Simone be in any kind of danger. Dustin immediately went along with Drake to the address on the note. Soon, the two of them arrived at a dilapidated and unoccupied vacant room in the east of the city.“Come out!” Du
“He has no work ethic at all! We didn’t say anything previously, but we can’t stand it anymore! This person treats the patients’ lives as a child’s play. It’s heartless!”The young physicians went all out and condemned Dustin. Simone looked embarrassed. Even she started to think that Dustin was just fooling around. After all, he did not even examine the patients closely, and he just left after he casually prescribed the ingredients for the antidote. “We demand that Mr. Fox be removed from his position, or it is difficult to convince us that this is a responsible hospital!” someone said. “Right! He doesn’t deserve to be in that position!” Everyone seemed to agree to that. “What are you arguing about?” Pedro’s voice rang through the commotion. Everyone immediately calmed down and greeted Pedro respectfully. “Dr. Campbell, you asked me to call Dustin, and I did. But the prescription he gave doesn’t seem to be valid?” Simone awkwardly said. “How could it not be valid?
“Drake, find out who did this immediately!” After Dustin left the ward, his face turned terrifyingly gloomy, and he gave the order. “Poison Clan is an ancient organization in Lovellia. Only they would use the ancient, strange poison. If they really did this, then I will just make them disappear!” Dustin’s murderous intent was palpable.Poison Clan was a sinister and terrifying organization. Many people in Lovellia were afraid of them. Even the big shots in high positions of power did not dare to mess with them. But Dustin was the King of Hades and the leader of Hell Hall! Poison Clan would be destroyed if he wanted them to be destroyed! There was nothing to it whatsoever! “Perhaps I’ve been keeping a low profile, so this small organization dares to provoke me. I’ll let them see that a King who keeps a low profile is to be regarded with caution even more!”If anyone else heard that, they would be scared to death. Only Dustin dared to say whatever he felt like. Drake
“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
