“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
Tyler was not putting on an act for Dustin. He slapped himself with no restraint, and he used all his strength. Slap! The impact of the blow created a sonic burst. Cough! Tyler coughed up blood when he slapped himself, and his face instantly turned pale. This slap nearly killed him. A few of his tendons and bones were broken. If he was not treated in time, his life might be in danger. More importantly, he was losing the ninth grade martial arts that he had worked so hard in cultivating. His pure energy and internal energy were draining massively, so his strength was reduced greatly. It was similar to having his martial arts being obliterated. “Holy… You’re ruthless, kid!” Homer looked surprised. Dustin was also slightly surprised. He had not even promised to help him, but Tyler had gone ahead and injured himself. If Dustin did not help him, Tyler would have paid a devastating price for nothing. “Now… I have obliterated my martial arts according to what you s
“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
