A long convoy entered Grayvale. It belonged to the Lotus Sect. Dustin had not given any orders to the Lotus Sect when he left the mountain with Tyler. After asking around, Humbert found out where Dustin was going. The information came from the Dragon Supreme. “He is probably heading to the Barbenheim Institution,” Joseph said with a meaningful look. The news shocked the higher-ups of the Lotus Sect. They could not believe it. Dustin had just killed many people within the Lotus Sect, and without a rest, he was going to the Barbenheim Institution. However, the Barbenheim Institution was different from the Lotus Sect. It was heavily protected by Lord Barbenheim’s personal army. Besides, Lord Barbenheim could call in the Western Forces from outside the city using his royal seal. No matter how strong Dustin was, he could not take on so many people alone. These were modern elite soldiers with powerful weaponry. No one, even a Transcendent Martial King, could survive agai
“He’s strong, but there’s no way he could take on five thousand well-armed soldiers of the personal army, let alone wipe them all out,” Humbert said seriously. “There must have been another force behind this.” Everyone went silent. The idea of a power that could wipe out such a huge army in such a short time was terrifying. Their new master was clearly extraordinary. It was no wonder he had not asked the Lotus Sect for any reinforcements. They kept moving forward. Inside the institution, everything seemed calm. There were not many casualties. They only found one body up ahead. The Lotus Sect members quickly went to examine it. “This emblem… it looks like it belongs to an assassin from Death Hall.” Everyone’s expression changed. Humbert looked at the mask on the assassin’s face, and his eyes widened. “It’s the number one assassin from Death Hall, Johan Todd!” “What?! The one who killed a Transcendent Martial King?!” Everyone was shocked. “There’s no sign of a fight
Dustin returned to the Lotus Sect with its members. Joseph stood on the mountain and calmly watched the large group enter the sect. Jonathan stood beside him respectfully. “Is Lord Barbenheim dead?” Joseph asked. “Yes, he’s dead. His personal army was wiped out!” Joseph’s expression slightly changed when he heard this. “Dustin must have a powerful status. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so reckless. The silence from Central Harbor proves it,” Joseph said. He was certain of this. “What a shame! If only we could use him for the McCall family.” Joseph sighed. He had tried everything but ended up losing everything. Eventually, he realized that Dustin was someone he could not control. “What should we do next, Joseph?” Jonathan asked carefully. “Do nothing. It will only make things worse,” Joseph said softly. “The thing that happened between him and Allison… we can’t get rid of him. In the future, we just need to stay on good terms with him. As for Madison, their relations
No matter how much Elijah cursed, Dustin did not react at all. “You fools! Don’t you know who the true heir of the Wyatt family is? How can you bow to this thief? Have you forgotten your promises?” Elijah said to remind the Lotus Sect of their loyalty. “There is only one master of the Lotus Sect, and that is Master Fox!” Humbert said firmly. “The Lotus Sect only has one master!” the higher-ups said. Elijah was shocked. When did these people start respecting Dustin so much? He had never been given this kind of respect when he was the master. What had Dustin done to earn this? Angry and desperate, Elijah tried to curse again, but they forced a pill into his mouth. Dustin looked at the seven exhausted women on the floor with a cold face. “Bring him ten more,” he ordered. The Lotus Sect was ready for this. Soon, more women were brought in while those on the floor were carried out. The pill started to take effect on Elijah. He suddenly jumped up and was full of ene
“Amara?” Dustin’s face grew cold. Amara had come from Rivenesco to Grayvale to help the Wyatt family grow. She trusted Elijah too much and let him do whatever he wanted. Recently, she did not bother Dustin and had only focused on strengthening the Wyatt family. Since Dustin had trapped Elijah, someone from the Lotus Sect must have told Amara. She cared a lot about her brother and would not stay calm. “Master Fox, Elijah’s actions were terrible. If you want to kill him, we can’t object. But Amara is the daughter of the Wyatt family. We hope you show mercy,” Humbert said and sighed. They did not want the Wyatt family heirs fighting among themselves, but they could not do anything. “I never said I was going to kill Amara,” Dustin said indifferently. Just like Elijah, Amara was Lucas’s child. He would not kill her without reason. Back then, even though Elisa had crossed her limit with Dustin, he did not kill her. Instead, he sent her overseas to do hard labor, where she h
“I’m not going to argue with you. Let Elijah go now, or you’ll regret it!” Amara gritted her teeth and said threateningly. Dustin just looked at her like she was a joke. Amara always thought she was the most powerful person in the Wyatt family and tried to boss Dustin around. But Dustin was no longer the same person. “If you want to threaten me, maybe you should spend another fifty years trying to grow the Wyatt family first. Maybe then you’ll have some real power.” Dustin looked at her in disdain. “I’m not letting Elijah go. He crossed the line, so he has to die!” Dustin said coldly. “No one can change that.” With that, he waved his hand. “Take Miss Amara down the mountain.” “Dustin, how dare you?!” Amara’s face was distorted with anger. “With the power of the Wyatt family, taking your life would be very easy! Think carefully!” Dustin ignored Amara’s threats. “Throw her down the mountain,” he said flatly. If Amara did not care about her dignity, Dustin would not
After returning to Grayvale, Amara immediately called for Margaret. Margaret was her mother’s younger sister and the matriarch of the Winter family, one of the Seven Clans of Central Harbor. Since Bianca had gone missing because of Dustin, Amara hoped Margaret could help her. Soon, Margaret arrived in Amara’s room. “Amara, what’s going on? Where is Elijah?” she asked immediately. “Dustin won’t let him go,” Amara said angrily. “Not only is he keeping Elijah captive, but he also made his people humiliate me.” Amara turned her face to reveal the red marks from the slap. “That heartless b*stard!” Margaret cursed. “We still have no news of Bianca. I sent people from the Winter family to search everywhere, but we couldn’t find anything. I think Dustin has her too. Who knows what he’s done to her?” “We have to make him hand both of them over! Aunt Margaret, you have to help me!” Amara begged. “Don’t worry. Even if Elijah wasn’t involved, I would still make Dustin pay!” Marga
“Mr. Gould is a very important person. Even my husband has to show him great respect. Although he’s retired, many officials in Lovellia are his students. He is highly respected. Bella must have done something incredible to invite him here!” Margaret’s words made Amara smile more. “Mr. Gould, thanks for coming.” She quickly went to greet him. While the person the titan grade physician had sent was not as important as Abel Gould, he was still a big shot. He was someone that even the head of the powerful Grayvale families had to respect. Once everyone had gathered, they quickly left for the Lotus Sect. At the Lotus Sect’s gate, cars could not go any further. “The Lotus Sect is a restricted area! Outsiders are not allowed!” one of the guards shouted. “Are you blind?!” Amara stepped out of the car and said angrily, “How dare you stop me?!” “I’m sorry, Miss Amara. Master Fox said the Lotus Sect doesn’t want you here. Please leave.” The guard showed no respect to her. Amara
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
