To Dustin, what happened earlier that day was only a small disruption. That night, he accompanied Simone in her room as she handled some documents. The day they had to deliver the goods was getting closer, so Simone was very busy. Dustin frowned. “Simone, I’m going outside for a moment,” he said. Then, he left the villa. Outside the villa, there was a dark figure standing tall at night. The person’s face was hidden. His gaze was fierce, and he carried with him the potential for violence. Dustin looked at him calmly. “Shadow Two, under whose orders have you come here?” he asked. This was one of the nine elites the Wyatt family had trained. He was Shadow Two. Last time, Drake had killed Shadow One. Naturally, it did not bode well that Shadow Two had shown up at this point. Shadow Two was more powerful than Shadow One. “I am here on the orders of Miss Clara,” Shadow Two said. His voice sounded icy. Dustin frowned. The Shadows had been trained by the head
The art exhibit was being held at Rivenesco Convention Center. This was a huge event, and there were many renowned artists involved. The most exceptional of them was Rivenesco’s shining gem, Clara Wyatt. She was accomplished in calligraphy, painting, and writing, and her works were accepted as exhibits in Lovellia’s international museums. She was very well-known. Moreover, she was a beauty in her own right, and with her background as a descendant of many renowned figures, she had become a uniquely sought-after rising star in the art world.In this art exhibition, the other people were just there to fill out the numbers. She was the star of the show. On the day of the exhibition, many people who admired her attended the venue. Clara’s fans were everywhere. She may not have been a celebrity, but she had more fame and popularity than some A-list actors and actresses. That day, Dustin brought Simone to the convention center. Clara obviously did not have any good intention
“Ms. Langley, it’s truly a shame that we didn’t meet sooner. My name is Michael Carson. I’m from Central Harbor’s Carson family. I wonder if you would be kind enough to add me on Facebook?” the young man in the lead asked. He was handsome and had a wealthy background. Most women were not able to resist such charms. Simone looked shocked. “Central Harbor’s Carson family?” She was quite surprised. The Carson family was one of Lovellia’s most powerful families, much more powerful than those in Rivenesco. Yet, Simone still refused him. “I apologize, but my friend list is at its limit.” Michael and his friends froze. “Let’s go, Dustin,” Simone said as she took Dustin’s hand. “Ms. Langley, it’s always good to have more friends…” Michael did not give up. He raised his hand to block their way. The more Simone turned him down, the more he wanted to win her over. Dustin’s gaze turned sharp. “Get out of the way!” he said. The faces of the three darkened. They were al
“Dustin, stop!” Clara rushed into the hall with some men. She saw that Dustin was about to attack Michael again. Dustin looked at her indifferently. “You finally showed up.” She ran over and had someone help Michael up. “How dare you? How dare you attack someone from Central Harbor?” Her face was cold as she yelled at Dustin openly. She behaved just like she did back home. “I’m ordering you to apologize to Mr. Carson now!” Her tone left no room for argument. It was a tone of voice that Dustin was very familiar with. He had heard it all the time growing up in the Wyatt family. “Have you lost your mind, Clara?” Dustin sneered. “Do you think things are still the same as they used to be? I’m no longer part of the Wyatt family. You were the ones who kicked me out. You still think you can boss me around?” Clara’s face stiffened. Then, her gaze turned cold. “I’m trying to save your life by asking you to apologize to Mr. Carson right now!” she said coldly. “The Carson fam
With the Carson family’s power, Michael could easily torment Dustin so much that he would die from a single onslaught. “Dustin, you’d better come along quietly. It’s a bigger crime if you resist arrest. You might be able to escape capture, but that pretty woman next to you won’t. She and the whole Langley family will be considered accomplices to your crime!” Clara added. Clara knew that Dustin was a formidable fighter and could defeat even Shadow Two. The only way to hurt such a person was to threaten the people he cared about. “I’m disappointed in you, Clara Wyatt,” Dustin said while shaking his head. “I thought you’d come up with some strategic feat, but your methods are so low.” Clara’s face turned stormy. “What’s the point of saying all that?” she asked sarcastically. “You might as well think about how you’re going to survive the trip to the border.” She believed that she had cornered Dustin into an impossible situation. If Dustin resisted capture and tried to escape,
The entire hall was silent. Many of the attendees were still in shock as they looked at Dustin. Who exactly was Dustin? Clara’s expression shifted from rage to uncertainty. Then, she smiled. She said to the crowd warmly, “Everyone, the charity auction is about to begin! Please take your seats.” The art exhibition had a very important auction session. It was the charity auction that Clara had mentioned. Clara organized the event and called for other famous artists to contribute their works to the event. This attracted a lot of attention from the media. Everyone praised Clara online for being beautiful inside and out. It had added to her acclaim. However, Dustin knew very well just how kind Clara really was. She did not actually care about people who were in difficult situations. All she cared about was her reputation. “A month ago, there was an earthquake in East Lovellia. Countless people were displaced. I feel like crying every time I read the news about it…” Clar
Was this why Clara had given Dustin VIP diamond tickets? Clara smiled playfully. When Dustin had been kicked out of the family, he had been penniless. He was unable to bring any of the Wyatt family’s valuables with him. Clara was sure that Dustin did not have much money with him. She wanted to humiliate Dustin in public. “VIP diamond tickets? That’s a higher tier than mine!” Michael looked upset. The other attendees were also disheartened. They were people from high society. However, they were unable to get VIP diamond tickets to this event. Who exactly was Dustin? Why did he have better tickets than everyone else? “If you bid on something at least, that would be such an embarrassment.” Everyone watched to see how Dustin would react. Dustin chuckled as Clara looked at him mockingly. “I bid twenty thousand dollars,” he said. Whispers came from the crowd. How could someone with such exclusive tickets bid so low? “Haha, I’ll bid ten million dollars!” Michael s
The exhibition hall fell silent. Clara’s face darkened. She looked very displeased. That was one of her proudest works. There were at least ten famous artists’ stamps on the calligraphy, and they were very influential people. Who could tolerate having their painstakingly crafted artwork destroyed? “Dustin Fox! What do you think you are doing?” Clara asked angrily. People stared at Dustin in shock. They could not understand why he had done it. He had spent sixty million dollars to buy Clara’s artwork and destroyed it in public. What had he done that for? Was it to insult Clara? But to spend so much money on it! How extravagant! They could already tell that this was going to make the headline of the news tomorrow. “B*stard! How dare he treat Miss Clara’s art like that?!” Clara’s fans were in the exhibition hall, and they glared at Dustin. “I spent my money to buy this. What I do with it is my business. What’s that got to do with you?” Dustin said coldly. It made t
The Aquila family was one of the most powerful families of Lannopolis. At this moment, Brennan Aquila, the patriarch of the Aquila family was frowning and sitting in his usual seat. “Is there no news?” he asked the servant before him. “Sir, we’ve searched the entirety of Rivenesco, but we couldn’t locate Devon. We’ve also inquired with the Panther Gang and checked the Langley family’s main villa in Rivenesco, but we found nothing,” the servant said. When he heard that, Brennan looked even more troubled. His second son, Devon, had taken along some people from the Panther Gang to Rivenesco a few days ago. He had wanted to seek revenge but had then disappeared. “Investigate more! Use more drastic measures if you need to!” he shouted. “There’s no need to investigate any further,” said a woman’s voice from beyond the room. A beautiful, elegant young woman walked into the Aquila family’s living room. “Who are you?” Brennan asked. “Bianca Winter of the Seven Clans of
“This is entirely the Langley family’s fault that we underestimated you! We were prideful and blind…” Margot said solemnly. “Please forgive us, My Liege!” At this point, Margot could do nothing but admit her mistakes. With a word, the King of Hades could wipe the Langley family from the face of the earth without so much as a noise. Dustin did not bother to respond. “Fine. Invite Simone and her family here immediately. I think you know what to do now, right?” he said coldly. “Yes, I do. I won’t let you down, My Liege!” Margot said quickly. She sent someone to invite Simone and her family here. Soon, Simone’s family arrived in the living room. They looked a little stunned. By that time, the members of the Panther Gang were all gone and the place had been cleaned up. It was as if nothing had happened here. “What happened to you?” Simone looked confused. She saw how strangely the members of the Langley family were behaving. “Uncle Derek, why are you trembling?” She
“The Panther Gang will serve the King of Hades!” Blake declared loudly as he knelt on the floor. The members of the Langley family and those of the Panther Gang stared in shock. A minute ago, Blake seemed very intimidating and intent on seeking justice. They were taken aback by his abrupt change in attitude. “The King of Hades… The master of Hell Hall! The King of Hades!” Margot gasped so hard she nearly fainted. The members of the Langley family were so terrified that their faces turned ghostly pale. There was no one on earth who did not fear the might of Hell Hall. Some of the people in the living room were shaking in fright. In the past, they all thought that Dustin was a nobody, so they treated him like trash. When they thought about how their family had tried to kill the King of Hades, the members of the Langley family felt horrified. Dustin glanced at the man kneeling on the floor, and his face looked taunting. “Your sister is the wife of the head of the A
Dustin had not said anything about the numerous Panther Gang corpses on the floor. No one had dared to clear them away. In the middle of all the mess was Devon’s headless body. When Blake recognized the corpse, his eyes widened in fury. He looked at Dustin without bothering to hide his desire for revenge. “Who are you? Where did you come from? Are you with the law or something else?” Blake did not make a move immediately. Instead, he demanded answers from Dustin. When he received the report from one of his branch leaders, he realized that Dustin was not someone to be messed with. That was why he was questioning Dustin first. Dustin looked at Blake, and his gaze froze the gang leader in place. “Back in the day, the Aquila family only started growing after participating in a campaign to destroy the Fox family of Grayvale. Did the Panther Gang have a hand in that campaign?” Dustin asked. His gaze was focused on Blake. If he admitted his involvement, he would be dead. “T
The three branch leaders of the Panther Gang were stony-faced. One of them said coldly, “Arrogant punk!” Dustin had cut off Devon’s head and was demanding Blake Torell, Blake, to come here to see him. None of them had ever encountered anyone who was so brazen in Rivenesco. “We won’t dare to return to the head of our gang without your head as a trophy!” The branch leaders were aggressive while their crowd of gang members outside were preparing to rush in. Dustin looked annoyed as he waved a hand. One of the Hell Guards made his move. He was like a shadow as he shot through the door. Thereafter, the two leaders’ eyes widened in horror. Blood gushed from their throats as they fell. The remaining branch leader was shaken. She shuddered. Dustin’s subordinate had killed them as easily as breathing. The members of the Panther Gang who had been preparing to rush inside froze. They stood outside motionless. The members of the Langley family were shocked. The branch leader
The might of the Panther Gang was unquestionable. They were not a small gang made up of scattered, ragtag individuals. They were a group of true, formidable forces of the underground in Honora! When did the members of the Panther Gang become so weak? “You… Where do these underlings of yours come from?” Devon said with gritted teeth as he stared at the Hell Guards with his mouth wide open. “Just a few lackeys I trained,” Dustin said flatly. “Anyway, what were you saying just a moment ago? You’re the nephew of the head of the Panther Gang? Why don’t you call everyone here? Get them in here all at once. Makes it easier to kill them in one go.” Devon was stunned. His entire army was being undermined. “Don’t get cocky! These are only the Panther Gang’s weakest members. There are more than a hundred people outside. No matter how powerful your people are, do you think they can beat a hundred men?” Devon asked viciously. “Hmph! Back in the day, the Aquila family even dared t
The Langley family thought that the police had arrived. One of them immediately got up to welcome them. Dustin did not make his Hell Guards stop that person. “Mr. Aquila!” When the person appeared at the doorway, he let out a shocked cry. The person who had come to the villa was not the police. It was the person that Dustin had almost beaten to death a few days ago. It was Devon Aquila. With his men, Devon stormed into the villa in fury. A few days ago, Devon had suffered greatly here. Not only had he failed to meet Simone but also had one of his arms broken in this place. As the second son of the prominent Aquila family, how could he just let that insult slide? After recuperating for a few days, he took his men to Rivenesco despite still being far from full recovery. When he got a lead on Dustin, he immediately rushed to the Langley family’s main villa. “Mr. Aquila, you got here right on time!” Margot looked overjoyed when she saw Devon here with so many people. “
At the Langley family’s main villa, everyone was waiting for news in the living room. “Has Christian not replied yet?” Margot asked Derek with a frown from where she sat. “No, Mom, not yet…” Derek glanced at his phone. “Don’t worry. Christian is very capable,” he said, “That piece of trash from the Wyatt family will be helpless if he doesn’t have the bodyguards the Wyatt family’s head left for him. I’m sure Christian will call with good news soon.”Margot nodded and looked at the members of the Langley family gathered there. “That guy is really annoying. Once we take care of him, all of you must keep your mouths shut. Don’t let David’s family catch wind of anything,” she said solemnly. Everyone nodded in understanding. “David and his family are riding high right now. The Langley family needs them to thrive. Let’s be patient for now, and when everything is stabilized and the Langley family has grown, we won’t have to care about their opinion anymore…” Margot’s voice was
When that thought sprang into his mind, he felt that everything finally made sense. ‘They say that this person is just a piece of trash from the Wyatt family. He’s supposed to be utterly useless and without a purpose. That’s why he was kicked out. But he doesn’t look like he’s useless at all! ‘How can someone who influences both the underground world and the law be considered useless?’ Christian started panicking because he was sent to kill Dustin. He broke out in a cold sweat and did not dare make a sound. While no one was paying attention, he dragged himself outside little by little. “Mr. Fox, my family is driven to a corner. You’re the only one who can save us now! Please help us this time!” Klein begged. “What happened to your family?” Dustin asked with a frown. “Our family was fighting the Wyatt family, and we were hoping to deal a heavy blow to them. We were just one step away from success, but suddenly, the Wyatt family received help. They suddenly became much stro
