Chapter 493

Author: Autumn Rain
Elijah was so enraged that he wanted to curse. He wanted to upend the tray and aim it at Dustin’s face.

However, he did not dare.

Joseph’s gaze was threatening. If he dared to do something like that, Elijah was sure he would perish even before he moved.

He could only swallow his fury and move away while still carrying the tray.

‘I’ll make you beg for mercy one day, Dustin!’ Elijah thought to himself with a vicious expression.

“Alright. Let’s start the martial arts competition, then.” Joseph gestured.

The members of the Lotus Sect finally dared to begin the opening ceremony that had been delayed for so long already.

The ceremony was just a formality. Of course, the preliminary stage of the competition had to be held on the first day of the event.

The rules of the preliminary round were simple and crude. Twenty people were assigned to a single platform. The last twelve people standing would be considered as having passed the preliminary round.

    Someone like Cabot did not actually need to fight during the preliminary stage. He could simply stand there as no one with a working brain cell would attack him. Most of the other Martial Saints preferred not to fight in the preliminary round. That way, they could avoid others from observing their moves and finding ways around them. Yet, Cabot did not look like he wanted to wait until he got into the next round. He made a move, and pure energy gathered around him as he walked toward Tyler. His posture said it all: He wanted to fight it out with Tyler. Nearly everyone in the audience looked over at them. Elijah and Timothy beamed. If Cabot defeated Tyler during the preliminary round and the latter lost, they would be overjoyed. “Cabot had broken through to the Martial Saint level two years ago. The Roan family has strong foundations, and their ultimate technique is said to be very powerful. Tyler’s really unlucky.” Henry and the others looked worried. No one thought T

    “I was defeated just like that?” Cabot was in disbelief. He could not make sense of it even after a long time. It had only taken a single move… Cabot had not been able to withstand even a single strike before Tyler sent him hurtling off the platform with one palm strike. He was heavily injured. He was too renowned to take such a blow. But how he felt about the matter was not important. He could only stand below the platform and regret his choices. He had lost his right to keep competing. He had lost the chance to become Joseph’s disciple and to win the entry token to the Martial Haven. “You couldn’t even handle a single move from me, and you thought you could fight my master? You overestimate yourself,” Tyler said to Cabot. It infuriated Cabot, and his face turned livid. He could not even speak. In the beginning, he had been disdainful of Dustin and Tyler. He had learned the Roan family’s martial arts techniques, so he looked down on the Fox family’s ultimate moves

    It was suspicious that the Lotus Sect was being courteous to Dustin for no reason. They had to have an agenda. “Don’t misunderstand, sirs. When it comes to people of your caliber, the Lotus Sect will always be respectful and arrange for your accommodation.” Dustin chuckled and accepted the arrangements. When they arrived at their rooms, Dustin realized that his and Tyler’s rooms were not next to each other. Rather, they were far apart. Regarding this, the Lotus Sect’s person said that Dustin was on the same level as Joseph, so Dustin’s status was higher. As such, he could not be housed the same way the participants were. Dustin did not comment on it. He knew that the Lotus Sect had bad intentions, but he did not call them out on it. Night fell. Tyler was meditating in his room and practicing what Dustin had taught him. He cherished the opportunity that Dustin had given him and was unendingly diligent. In the darkness of the room, there was a pair of eyes staring clo

    The suddenness of the voice made the man in black feel a chill down his spine. With a quick move, he threw himself several feet away. Warily, he looked in the direction of the voice. The voice had been right by his ear. It clearly indicated that the speaker had been very close to him. He had no clue when that person had gotten so near without him noticing. That person was much too dangerous. If that person had attacked him, he would not have been ready for it at all. He could have been injured or killed. In the dark of night, the man in black could not see the face of the person who had snuck up on him clearly. “Who are you?” The man in black was wary. None of the people who were at the Lotus Sect for the martial arts competition had this kind of power. Among them, he knew that only Joseph could do this. He watched warily as his opponent walked under a dim light and looked up. The shadows obscuring his face were gone, and his features were finally visible. At th

    The look in Dustin’s eyes was mocking. Without saying anything, he crooked a finger at Anson. Anson’s face immediately turned stormy. He was the Superintendent of the Martial League, with a level of martial arts that was formidable. He was an Apex Martial Saint. He was at the level that was so powerful that they usually did not appear in public. He could not tolerate Dustin’s rudeness. How dare Dustin mock him? “Ignorant and insolent!” Anson said coldly. Without wasting more of his breath, he struck. When he moved, a wind whipped up the loose sand and gravel around him. Anson moved so fast that the eye could barely track him, and the wind whistled. It was evident how powerful that single move was. Anson’s gaze was sharp and vicious. He was aiming for Dustin’s lower abdomen. It was a ruthless attack. If they were hit, any martial artist would be severely injured. At worst, that martial artist would lose all their fighting skills and would be crippled. Initially,

    Anson was questioning his understanding of the entire world. He was an Apex Martial Saint. That meant that he was at the very top of the Martial Saint level. The next step would be the Martial King level. However, at his level and with such a powerful hit on Dustin’s energy center, he had still failed to cause any damage. Typically, not even a Martial King would let him attack their energy center this way, much less a Martial Saint. Even a Martial King would be badly injured if their energy center was attacked this way. But Dustin seemed completely unaffected. In fact, he had been able to use his energy center to send Anson flying. Anson spat out blood as he struggled to get back upright. He looked at Dustin as if he had grown an extra head. ‘F*ck, not even the most powerful martial artist, Benson Gould, could do this,’ he thought. What was going on? This was the first time Anson had met such an egregious young man. Anson was still shocked. With great effort, he

    After all, it was shameful to admit that a younger person had injured him. It made much more sense that he had been beaten by Joseph. In contrast, people would even praise him for his abilities. It was an achievement to be hurt this lightly if someone as powerful as Joseph had landed a hit on him. “Damn! How could that punk be this lucky? I really don’t know what the Dragon Supreme sees in him,” Timothy clenched his fists as he said resentfully. They had failed to attack Dustin and Tyler. It was possible that Timothy might lose to Tyler in the semi-finals tomorrow. “We, the members of the Grayvale branch of the Martial League, are here on the Superintendent’s orders to capture some criminals!” came an announcement from outside. “Bring them in quickly,” said a higher-up of the Lotus Sect. Soon, the members of the Grayvale branch of the Martial League walked over. The person leading the group was the head of the branch, Zion Larson. After receiving notice of Anson’s comma

    “There’s nothing you can bring out that will make me stop my…” Anson was speaking with great conviction when his gaze flitted downward to see what Zion had brought out. In an instant, the words died in his throat, and he said nothing further. Anson was dazed for a moment and woodenly looked at the token Zion was holding. Zion was afraid that Anson could not see it clearly, so he flipped it over once or twice to show him exactly what the token was. Anson’s gaze unfocused as he was taken aback. “This is…” His throat went dry as the desert, and his face turned slack in disbelief. “Superintendent, this is exactly what you think it is,” Zion said with a grin. Anson’s face stiffened. He was rooted to the spot. When he first saw the token, his heart skipped a bit. After examining the token repeatedly to make sure it was what he thought it was, Anson realized that it was the same token that the Martial League had lost a long time ago. It was the Martial League’s Supre

    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
