With a wave of his hand, elite fighters of the Zimmer family rushed forward to kill Dustin and Drake. Dustin remained indifferent and did not budge, but Drake made his move. With just one attack, he managed to make the elite fighters cough up blood and fall. “What?!” The Zimmer family members were shocked. Klein scowled and stared at Drake. He had not paid attention to Drake’s attack, but he was sure that he was very strong. “Who are you?” he asked solemnly. “A loyal servant of My Liege,” Drake said coolly. “Who?” Klein was surprised. “Drake, I didn’t give you permission to speak,” Dustin said in displeasure. Drake immediately knelt in front of Dustin and said, “Please forgive me!” This surprised the Zimmer family even more. This powerful fighter was showing such respect to Dustin?! Who exactly was Dustin to be able to command such respect from someone so powerful? Klein’s face turned grim. “Who… are you?” He looked at Dustin. “I just can’t be bothered t
“Klein?!” “Dad?!” Klein’s actions shocked all the members of the Zimmer family. Klein had always been competitive and strong-willed. He never bowed before anyone. They could not understand it. Why would Klein suddenly show such respect to the person who hurt Jack? Was he intimidated by Drake’s strength? That was impossible! Klein was someone who would rather be killed than submit to someone else. Klein waved his hand to gesture to the Zimmer family to be quiet. They did not know that his back was already drenched in cold sweat. If Drake had moved forward a little more, he would have died. He could tell just how scarily strong Drake was. He was a sovereign grade fighter! He could not imagine just how much more powerful a person had to be to make a sovereign grade fighter serve him like this. This sort of person could easily destroy the entire Zimmer family. Jack slowly woke up in the center of the hall. When he opened his eyes, he saw Dustin sitting not very
“What kind of a status must one have to command a sovereign grade fighter?” Klein’s face turned solemn. “All those who can command sovereign grade fighters are incredibly powerful people who stand at the top of the world. With one word, they can change the fates of nations! “I also remember seeing something on Drake.” Klein looked pensive. “If I’m correct, Dustin Fox is the ruler of the underground. He’s the King of Hades!” That one sentence made everyone’s faces turn pale. All of them were shocked. The King of Hades was a terrifying person. With his own power alone, he killed the former ruler of the underground and destroyed the Shadow Dynasty. Then, he created Hell Hall. After that, in just a few years, he became the new ruler of the underground. Over the years, Hell Hall killed plenty of people, and they struck fear in everyone’s hearts. The King of Hades’s name spread through the world, and he gained a reputation for being fearsome and formidable. When they heard that
Amara arrived outside the Zimmer family villa in her Maserati. In the end, she decided to visit the Zimmer family herself. The Zimmer family was one of the most prominent families in Rivenesco and was quite strong. Amara was wary of Klein, who was once a very famous businessman. He had not been involved in the management of the company for years, but if he decided to come out of retirement, he would still be very influential. The message Klein had sent made Amara worried. She was in a very bad mood and could not understand how things had turned out that way. Even though she had framed the Langley family and Dustin, her target had somehow gotten out of the Zimmer family unscathed and was not even blamed for hurting Jack. She had come here to not just mend their relationship but also to figure out the truth. “Please send a message that I, Amara Wyatt, am here to meet Mr. Klein and also to visit Mr. Jack,” said Amara with a smile to the guard. The guard soon passed the m
“Dustin, I have great news!” In the morning, Simone went to find Dustin happily. “The Zimmer family suddenly changed their minds. Felix, Jack’s father, called me and apologized for terminating the contract. They want to work together with us again, and they’re even offering a lower price for their materials!” she said excitedly. She had been really worried over the past few days. Dustin had gravely wounded Jack, and she was worried that the Zimmer family would do whatever it took to seek revenge. She had been thinking about how to protect Dustin. To her surprise, the Zimmer family suddenly called her and apologized. They would also provide more materials to the Langley Group at a much lower price. Simone was surprised when she heard that. Jack had been severely injured. Not only did the Zimmer family decide not to hold Dustin accountable, but they also requested to work together again and offered a much lower price for their materials. Simone was a businesswoman herself
“The worst-case scenario would be us losing to the Zimmer family and the Zimmer family working together with other forces to destroy us. Then, our family business will be ruined!” Clara’s words shocked all of them. “It can’t be that bad, right? The Wyatt family is stronger than the Zimmer family!” Elisa retorted. “You’re forgetting that Klein Zimmer was a powerful person when he was young, and he’s friends with plenty of outstanding people in all fields.” Clara frowned. “Also, we offended plenty of famous physicians last time. Some of them are from powerful backgrounds and will happily kick us when we’re down.” The Wyatt sisters’ faces turned sour. By the looks of it, the Wyatt family was forced into a dead end. “Should we make use of the Wyatt family’s secret force?” Delia suddenly asked. Amara raised her eyebrow but shook her head without hesitation. She rejected the idea. “We’re not forced to the point where we need to use that just yet. I’ll talk to the Zimmer family
“Who can contact Dustin right now?” Amara crossed her arms and asked impatiently. She hated Dustin to the core and no longer wanted anything to do with him, but Dustin still had his uses. In the past, Dustin always put the newspaper on the table for her every morning. On it was an article that specifically talked about the stock market. It would often comment on various companies’ stocks, and the discussions ranged from positive to negative. Based on her own judgment, Amara picked a few companies and bought their stocks. Up to this point, she had never made the wrong call. This gave her some confidence. Hence, she wanted to buy some stocks since her company had suffered some losses. This time, she intended to go all in and buy loads of stocks that she thought were useful. Once their prices went up, she would sell them and earn a huge profit. The first step would be to find that newspaper. Unfortunately, she could not find it even after searching for hours. “Amara, Dus
“Amara, this Speedgro Group was in the news a few months ago. Their reputation was ruined because their products were adulterated. Not only were they blacklisted, but their share price also plummeted. They kept suffering losses…” At the Wyatt family villa, Clara got worked up when she realized that Amara wanted to spend thirty million dollars on the Speedgro Group’s shares. “By my estimation, the Speedgro Group won’t last another three months. You can’t buy their shares! It’ll be like burning your money for nothing!” Clara tried to talk some sense into Amara. Yet, Amara was so confident that she wanted to stick by her decision. “Clara, you’ve always been smart, but you’re not knowledgeable when it comes to the stock market. Naturally, you’re short-sighted when it comes to this. It’s not your fault,” Amara said with a smile. Clara still wanted to talk her out of it. “I’m the Stock Market Queen of Rivenesco! I’ve never bought bad stocks even once! My judgment could never be
The Yeager family members looked at each other at a loss.What the hell was the CEO doing? Everything was so elusive and confusing. They were unhappy, but they dared not show it. While they remained silent, Dustin slowly sipped his red wine, picked up a napkin, and wiped his mouth. “No signing,” he said indifferently. The Yeager family members looked over at him.“What did you say?!” Zack yelled at him with a dark face. Why was he speaking?Did he even have the right to speak? It was an extremely important collaboration. Even if Terry was protecting him, Zack could not care less. Dustin must be out of his mind since he dared to interrupt such an important discussion. “Shut up! This isn’t your place to speak!” Percy shouted. The Yeager family members were furious. They were afraid that Dustin’s reckless words would ruin the deal. “You think just because you say, ‘no signing,’ it’ll be done? Do you think you’re the CEO of Duscia Corporation?!” Damien yelled at him. He
“What’s going on with our great-grandfather? Dustin is not even related to our family. How can he treat him better than us?”A few members of the Yeager family stood on the side awkwardly while watching Dustin and the others chatting happily. Damien whispered in dissatisfaction. They could not bear the sight of this, and they felt very resentful.“Stop talking!” Warren snapped.“Don’t worry, he won’t remain so arrogant for long. Dad favors him. So? In this society, ability speaks louder than anything else,” Zack said in a low voice. “A man who lives off an inheritance without a proper job… even if he has some luck and inheritance, he’ll squander it away in no time. Then, he’ll struggle to get by. Dad will see the truth in time.“Besides, who knows how long Dad can stay conscious? Do you really think that kid can make Dad young again? I don’t believe in such an absurd thing.“Dad is already very old. We should just go along with this for now. They’re lucky they get to hang around
Dustin did not say anything. Terry was smart indeed. Zack and the others were blinded by the lure of great benefits. A while later, some voices were heard. It meant that the guest had arrived. Percy led Adrian inside. “Dad, this is Mr. Adrian Pierce, the general manager of Duscia Corporation. We always communicated with him about the collaboration,” said Warren as an introduction.Terry nodded, and he looked closely at Adrian. “This young man is not someone ordinary.” His eyes gleamed sharply as he recognized Adrian’s extraordinary presence. Different people, depending on their status and identity, carried themselves with different temperaments. When Terry was young, he used to work in Summerdale and meet many upper-class people. Adrian’s temperament was on par with the young heirs of Summerdale. “I’m Adrian Pierce. It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Yeager.” Adrian walked to Terry and bowed respectfully.This shocked the Yeager family. Adrian had such a high status, but he
A day passed in the blink of an eye. In the evening, Dustin and Patricia drove to the Yeager family villa. When they got out of the car and walked to the entrance of the Yeager family villa, they saw Percy waiting at the door. When Percy saw them, he turned livid, and his face darkened. “Uncle Percy,” said Patricia in greeting. “Hmph! So, you still recognize me as your uncle,” said Percy coldly and glared at Patricia. Patricia remained silent. Percy glanced at Dustin. His gaze shone with hatred. Patricia used to be very obedient and never dared to go against the Yeager family members. But lately, she had become so insolent even toward the patriarch of the family. Percy thought that Dustin must have led her astray. “Today, your great-grandfather invited you over for a meal. You’d better behave at the dining table and make him happy,” Percy said. “We will,” Patricia said. “Well, why are you so stubborn then? The Yeager family has agreed to let you return, yet you in
“The Tonra family sent me here to prepare to take over Hattan. We will start from the market in Hattan before we develop the market in the south. The future profits are immensely worthwhile. I’m determined to build a huge business kingdom. “Honestly, these families in Hattan are just so-so. I don’t take them seriously at all. But Duscia Corporation is fine. You just invested a hefty 2 billion right off the bat. That’s quite impressive.” Crispin smiled. “I came from the Southwestern region. I didn’t bring many workers, so we’re lacking some manpower. You’re an expert. Why don’t you work for me? I’ll make it worth your while. How about it?” He confidently offered a job to Dustin and waited for his response. Dustin stared at him calmly. “Regardless of your background, you look quite ambitious to me, but you don’t have sufficient capabilities. Hattan has limited you. If you work for me, your future will be promising!” Adrian found that amusing. Such rich spoiled brats were
Dustin observed what was going on at the front desk on the security feed on his screen. Adrian arrived at the front desk. “Mr. Pierce, you’re here.” The receptionist nodded at Adrian, and Adrian nodded back. Crispin and the driver, Nicholas Olson, assessed Adrian. “What a self-important person the general manager of Duscia Corporation is! How dare you make Mr. Tonra wait downstairs?” Nicholas asked in displeasure. Adrian did not spare the driver a single glance. He could not be bothered to speak with an insignificant staff member. If Dustin had not given him the orders, he would have chased these two out already. “You’re the general manager of Duscia Corporation, Adrian Pierce, yes?” Crispin looked at Adrian contemptuously. “I’ve never heard of the Pierce family having a person with your name. You’re quite capable of fooling the families of Hattan so easily with the same last name.” Thinking that he had dirt on Adrian, Crispin smiled very tauntingly. “What are yo
“I find it all quite interesting. This Duscia Corporation, this fake rich kid… Let’s go take a look.” “Yes, sir.” At around 2 p.m., the Lamborghini stopped at the entrance of Duscia Corporation. The young man walked into the building with his driver. “Hello, sir. How can I help you?” the receptionist asked. “This is the son of the Tonra family of Articora. Have the person in charge of your company come and welcome him,” the driver announced loudly. “Do you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked with a smile. “What?” The young man, Crispin Tonra, immediately frowned. “What kind of receptionist are you? Haven’t you heard of the Tonra family of Articora? Mr. Tonra of the ultra-rich Tonra family doesn’t need an appointment to come to your company. Go and tell your boss about his arrival. Have the person in charge rush over here to welcome Mr. Tonra,” yelled the driver at the receptionist. “I’m sorry. The person in charge of our company is very busy. All guests mu
The great Dhillon family of Hattan was destroyed just like that. It was said that Kendall had become a useless cripple and would have to spend the rest of his days relegated to bed. He could not even move, and there was nothing that could be done to treat him. The other families in Hattan thought that it was the ultra-rich Cabello family of Summerdale that had done this. They were impressed at how powerful the Cabello family was and pitied the Dhillon family. It was true that one could not afford to offend a family like that. After spending a day at the hotel, Dustin took Patricia back to their apartment in the suburbs. The place had been cleaned up and was immaculate. All the damage from the fight had been fixed, and everything looked good as new. Patricia was a strong woman. Thus, she recovered from her ordeal very quickly. She even went to work right after. Dustin went to Duscia Corporation, and Adrian reported to him. “It’s impossible for the Dhillon family to mak
A life like that would be worse than anything. To put it crudely, it would be a luxury for Kendall to be able to kill himself. This was the consequence of daring to hurt Patricia. Dustin went to stand before Patricia and reached out to touch the red veil surrounding her. With a plop, the light burst like a bubble, and Patricia landed on the floor. “Dustin,” Patricia called. She threw herself into Dustin’s embrace. She cried softly as she held onto Dustin tightly. “You’re alright,” Dustin said comfortingly as he patted her on the back. Patricia did not speak. She clung to Dustin without letting go. She had just realized that she could not live without Dustin in her life. Before that moment, she had been so worried about Dustin and wanted him to leave without coming in. It would not have mattered if she had died because of it. She finally understood. She had long accepted Dustin into her heart. After a long time in Dustin’s embrace, Patricia finally cal
