Dustin had questions to ask. “You’re not allowed to die just yet!” Dustin took a couple of pills from his pocket and fed it to Gary. Dustin’s medical skills had long surpassed his adoptive father, Lucas’s. Keeping Gary alive—or even reviving him—was entirely within his capabilities. But Dustin had no intention of saving him. Gary gasped and drew in a ragged breath. His face was filled with shock. “Who… who the hell are you?” “I’ll be the one asking the question, and you’ll answer. Or you’ll wish you were dead already. “Now, who ordered the massacre of the Fox family?” Gary’s shock gave way to a sneer. “Curious, aren’t you? Well, I won’t tell you!” Dustin’s face darkened. Then, he tightened his grip on Gary’s wrist. “Ahhh!!!” Even a hardened soldier like Gary could not help but let out a blood-curdling scream. The pain was unimaginable. Every nerve in his body seemed to be ablaze. Every cell screamed in inhuman agony. Yet, Dustin’s precise te
In a luxurious villa compound of Grayvale’s West River Institution, Dustin’s villa was surrounded by a swarm of people. They were representatives of various powerful factions from Grayvale. Their aggressiveness was evident. They wanted to conquer the villa and capture anyone associated with Dustin. In doing so, they hoped to curry favor with the General of the West to protect themselves. The Western Forces encircled the city, and Gary was at the peak of his power. Given the choice between offending the surviving descendant of the Fox family or the General of the West, no one hesitated to side with the latter. To many people in Grayvale, Gary was an insurmountable force and a figure commanding a military force, while Dustin was merely the last survivor of a fallen family. The comparison was not even close. With the factions acting in unison, the mob vastly outnumbered Dustin’s staff in the villa, with a hundred men for every servant. “The last descendant of the Fox family
“This is the end for you!” The Sword Sage had already made his move. The sharp blade of his long sword gleamed as it stabbed at the cleaner. The cleaner’s expression remained unchanged, and it was not until the Sword Sage was nearly upon him that he made his move. He wielded no weapon and relied only on his bare hands. Crack! The bare hands met the sharp sword, and the result left everyone stunned. The Sword Sage’s long blade shattered on impact. Its pieces scattered across the floor. The Sword Sage’s face twisted in disbelief as his body continued moving forward because of the momentum. And then, a bizarre scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes. The cleaner gripped the Sword Sage’s neck as he tumbled forward. “You…” The Sword Sage’s face filled with terror. It was as though he felt his soul seemingly leave his body. He then understood. His strength was no match for this cleaner. They were not even close to being equals. The cleaner’s face remained impa
“What did you say?!” In a presidential suite of a luxurious hotel, Elijah, who was enjoying a bath with a beautiful woman, immediately stiffened upon hearing the news. “Dustin isn’t even there. Those families still can’t break into the villa?” Elijah’s expression darkened as he stood up from the bath. “Mr. Elijah, you can’t really blame those people,” his man said with a helpless expression. “Who could have guessed that a mere cleaner in that villa was a ninth grade fighter…” he added with a bitter smile. Elijah furrowed his brows. “Did my father leave those people for him?” he asked in displeasure. Elijah had heard from the Wyatt sisters that Lucas had left Dustin with some loyal subordinates, and their prowess was impressive. “Even so, it might have been just one ninth grade fighter. How could one person stop so many people?” Elijah still could not believe it. “It’s not just one person, Mr. Elijah...” The man hesitated. “There are fifteen in total. They a
But Dustin stood tall. He looked completely healthy and unharmed. It unsettled the crowd to see him this way. Only the members of the McCall family remained calm. They knew all too well how terrifying Dustin could be. “A man whose strength rivals the Five Supremes is not someone even the General of the West can control,” remarked Jonathan with a faint smile. “What about the Western Forces? Why haven’t they responded? How could they let him waltz in here?” someone asked as they scanned the room in disbelief. “The Western Forces have withdrawn from Grayvale, and they won’t be returning,” Dustin said indifferently. “W-Withdrawn?” The disbelief in the room was palpable. Messengers were sent out immediately to verify the claim, and they returned just as quickly. “The four battalions of the Western Forces have fully withdrawn to the Southwestern Shura Territories…” The confirmation left everyone even more bewildered. Such a massive troop was gone without even an e
A group of young men arrived at the entrance of Dustin’s villa in West River Institution. “Excuse me, could you please inform Mr. Dustin that Henry and his friends are here to see him,” Henry said respectfully to the servant sweeping the area by the gate. Even though it was just a cleaner, the men treated him with utmost respect. They knew full well that even a cleaner here was a ninth grade fighter. They were a figure of prestige in any other part of Grayvale. “One moment, please,” the cleaner said before putting down the broom and heading into the villa. “Henry? Who’s that?” Dustin asked with a frown after he was informed of the visitors. He was in the middle of explaining a martial arts technique to Tyler. “Have you forgotten, Mr. Fox? Henry is the leader of the Grayvale’s martial aristocracy,” Tyler said with a bow. Only then did Dustin recall him. Allison had once taken him to confront Grayvale’s martial aristocracy in a gambling match, where he had encou
Although young, Dustin’s prowess was not on the same level as the younger generation in the martial arts world. The so-called martial arts competition held no attraction for him. However, when Henry and the others heard this, they found it quite arrogant. “It seems that you, Mr. Fox, are a man who cares little for fame and fortune, while we, alas, are too shallow.” Henry forced out a bitter smile. “However, we are representing the younger generation of the Grayvale and the Southwest region to invite you to this martial arts competition…” The group bowed respectfully to Dustin. Dustin furrowed his brow. “Why?” he asked. Henry sighed. “It’s… Mr. Elijah. I don’t know where he learned his martial arts from. His reputation was once unremarkable, but since his return, he’s gained the power of a Martial Saint. He’s challenged all the young prodigies of the Southwestern region, and his methods are… ruthless. All his opponents are either dead or severely injured! “He’s too ar
At an upscale restaurant in Grayvale, Dustin, Henry, and his group were having dinner. After witnessing Tyler’s Martial Saint level strength, they were overjoyed and treated the two of them to a lavish dinner at the restaurant. Dustin had no particular business to attend, so he took Tyler along for dinner. Although these young heirs were proud, they were not particularly unpleasant, and Dustin did not find them irritating. During the meal, the group kept praising Dustin’s abilities. In just a few days, he had raised Tyler to the Martial Saint level, which left them both amazed and envious. They wanted to know the method Tyler had used, but despite their probing, Tyler refused to speak. That left them sighing in frustration. “Mr. Dustin, your skills are extraordinary. If you were to join the competition, you would surely bring honor to the younger generation of the Southwestern region!” Henry said in praise. Everyone’s eyes sparkled with excitement. The martial arts co
“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
