“After waiting for so long, is this all we get? The Lotus Sect is just a small force. Let’s barge up the mountain and see who can stop us!” Paco, the Martial Saint of the Winter family, was displeased. He clenched his fists and was ready to fight. Levi, the Martial Saint of the Philips family, agreed with him. Martial artists usually fought when they were upset. The Lotus Sect was not important enough to make them hesitate to act. “Under heaven, all land belongs to the king. The Lotus Sect is small yet takes up such a large mountain. Someone should look into this,” Abel said with a serious face. Amara stood to the side and smiled. She had purposely made them wait here. If Dustin had just tried to please them and let them in, she could have entered arrogantly. If Dustin did not show respect, he would offend these people. By not letting them in, he had made them angry, which made things harder for him. He did not disappoint her. “Sorry, everyone. I thought Dustin was
“His punch is powerful,” Paco muttered in surprise. “When did Lovellia get such a Martial Saint?” Levi looked unsure. “Can you two handle him? He looks pretty tough,” Amara said from behind. “It’s no big deal,” Paco said confidently. “He’s only a Low-level Martial Saint,” said Levi and chuckled. Both Paco and Levi were Advanced Martial Saints. They could destroy the Lotus Sect if they wanted to, so why would they worry about a Low-level Martial Saint? They were just caught off guard earlier. “Kid, you’re not strong enough to stop us. Call the Lotus Sect’s strongest fighter!” Paco shouted. Tyler stared at the two men. He was itching for a fight. He was not afraid of a fight, even if it meant getting injured. Battling stronger opponents helped him grow. But this was not the time to act like a hero. “If I can’t stop you alone, I’ll call for backup,” Tyler said. “Oh? How many Martial Saints can a small sect like the Lotus Sect have? Call them all here. It won’t matt
“How dare you?! They’re fighters from the Winter and Phillips families, two of the Seven Clans of Central Harbor! Don’t think just because you have numbers, it’ll help! Move out of the way!” Amara took a few steps forward and yelled at the Martial Saints of the Lotus Sect. “Do you think they won’t crush you? You guys are so clueless!” she said arrogantly. She was fearless since she had two Martial Saints with her. Paco and Levi’s faces paled. She was being stupid. Why did she have to drag them into this? There were twelve Martial Saints on the other side. How could they fight them? They wanted to defuse the situation, but Amara just made it worse. They almost wanted to strangle her. “Seven Clans of Central Harbor? Oh no, we’re so scared!” Drake pretended to be scared. “Then, move away if you’re scared!” Amara sneered. “Even if all the patriarchs of the Seven Clans of Central Harbor came here, they’d still have to leave!” said Drake coldly. “Someone like you doesn’t
Dustin’s face was indifferent. As the two fists got closer, his gaze became sharper. Bam! A burst of pure energy shot out from him and instantly formed a pure energy field. Paco and Levi felt like they were stuck in the mud. Their bodies felt stiff as though they were weighed down with lead. Their movements were so slow that their fists could not even reach Dustin. ‘H-How is this possible?!’ Paco and Levi’s eyes went wide in disbelief. They both knew what had happened. They thought, ‘A Martial King’s pure energy field!’ They could not speak, but they were both terrified. This was a skill only a Martial King could use. Martial Saints had no chance against Martial Kings. The difference in their levels was huge. The shock left them frozen and barely able to think. They had thought that Dustin was just a Martial Saint, but he had a pure energy field, something only a Martial King possessed. The shock was so intense it was hard for them to handle. “A Transcendent
“These two will still be crippled even after treatment,” said the leader of the Lotus Sect slowly as he looked at the two battered people before him. “Aunt Margaret, is this normal? How could the supposed elite fighters from two of the Seven Clans of Central Harbor be so powerless against Dustin?” Amara asked in confusion as she looked at Margaret. Margaret’s face darkened. She seemed to take a long time to come back to herself. “It’s not normal. The elite fighters of the Seven Clans of Central Harbor are some of the most powerful in Lovellia’s martial world,” she said with a complicated look on her face. “Then, how could two of them fail to deal with Dustin? Could he really be powerful?” Amara asked. She could not understand what was happening. The Wyatt sisters disliked Dustin. No matter how impressive he was, they thought that Dustin was a useless piece of trash and that had only come so far because of luck. “Maybe your father really taught him some mighty moves and help
Anyone could plainly see that Abel was furious. “I am not arrogant. However, those who want my respect have to earn it,” Dustin said. Abel’s expression turned even darker. There was no way he could stand such an insult. “The Lotus Sect is a threat to public safety. I think there’s no point in its existence anymore,” he said in displeasure. “Don’t think too highly of yourself.” Dustin looked immensely displeased. “Since you’re old, I’ll warn you so that you can scram back to wherever you came from. That way, you won’t lose.” Dustin waved his hand like he was chasing off an annoying mosquito. “I really don’t know where he gets his confidence,” Margaret said in confusion. Dustin was really different from the way he used to be. He used to be so respectful and obedient like a pet of the Wyatt family. He was humble to her whenever she visited. Yet, he had transformed into someone else. He was wildly brazen and did not respect anyone anymore. “Hmph! He’ll regret offendin
“What’s going on, Mr. Gould?” Amara immediately went up to ask him when she noticed the odd look on Abel’s face. Abel folded the document in his hand. His face turned icy. What could he do anyway? Dustin had even involved the king in this and got him to send a document to warn him off. Although the document was written very politely, Abel would definitely be in trouble if he kept causing a scene. If it came to that point, it would not help even if he involved all his students. Abel looked at Dustin standing far above and sighed. He had never had to bow down to a youngster like him before. As everyone watched, Abel bowed to Dustin. His posture was stiff because he felt offended. “I’ve caused trouble today. I apologize. Please forgive me. I will be leaving now.” The humble way in which he said this stunned Amara and Margaret entirely. Their eyes widened in shock. Even the higher-ups of the Lotus Sect were taken aback. Dustin had gotten the renowned Abel Gould t
Soon, the others accepted the call. Bella, Clara, and Delia were all there. The moment they got onto the video call, they saw Elijah tied up and kneeling before Dustin. From Elijah’s side, Drake raised his blade. He looked ready to behead Elijah. “Stop!” “Don’t hurt him!” “Don’t you dare!” In an instant, three enraged voices rang out. “My sisters, I tried my best, but Dustin won’t let Eli go. He wants to behead him!” Amara shrieked angrily. The three sisters were in disbelief. “The elite fighters from the Winter and Philips families weren’t able to defeat Dustin. Meanwhile, Mr. Gould decided to go into isolation after reading a document,” Amara said. “How can that be?” The three sisters were stunned. “What other ideas do you have? Put them into action now!” Amara shouted. “Dustin, if you dare hurt Eli, I will use all my connections in the entertainment industry to make your life hell! Didn’t you turn Simone’s little sister into a film star? I’ll ruin her re
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
“The miracle doctor who cured Germaine Vance is here!” When Dustin and Simone showed up, the crowd immediately surged toward them. “There are so many people!” Simone was a little shocked. In the past three days, Simone had secretly been feeding Dustin’s reputation as a miracle doctor and pushing it all across Hattan. Even so, she had never expected it would garner such a huge response. “There are many patients, too. This is a good thing.” Everything was progressing nicely. “Will Dustin be able to handle so many patients?” David asked. Simone frowned. Dustin was not a robot. There was no way he could spend all day and all night just seeing patients. “Besides, we can’t take any patients other than the ones here for neurological issues because we don’t have any other physicians. In a few days, the hospital will be empty again.” With that, Simone’s mood was ruined again. The members of the main Langley family had arrived as well. The crowd at the entrance to P
“That hospital is an empty shell now. Let’s see how they make a comeback like this. I’m afraid just trying to limit the losses will be harder than fighting God!” As the main branch of the Langley family mocked Dustin, news about Germaine Vance spread. When they heard about what happened, they all shut up. They were stunned to the core. “Dustin saved the Vance family’s patriarch?” They all jumped up as though they had been struck by lightning. “How is that possible? Even Clarence didn’t know what his condition was. How could he have cured Germaine just like that?” The unacceptable thing was that Dustin had managed to get the Vance family to owe him a debt. This was the Vance family of Somerton, which used to be even more powerful than the four prominent families of the present! Even they had to suck up to the Vance family. However, they did not even have that chance! In an instant, the whole family fell quiet. After a long while, they composed themselves. “The Va
“My friend, you saved my father. I shall keep my promise and apologize to you on my knees!” Rowan walked up to Dustin and prepared to get down on his knees. “Forget it,” Dustin said. Rowan was a hot-blooded man. Rowan being willing to set aside his pride and apologize to Dustin, considering the position the Vance family held in society, was quite a feat. Dustin respected such a person. “Thank you!” Rowan looked grateful. He was a very important man in Somerton. If he really got down on his knees, his pride would not be able to take it. “The Vance family owes you a great debt! We will take my father home to rest. Later, we will come back and reward you greatly!” “There’s no need for that. Just pay the medical fees.” Dustin did not take the whole thing very seriously. Soon, the Vance family left. However, Rowan committed Dustin to memory. Dustin had miraculous medical skills. Plus, he had a very powerful martial artist at his beck and call. There was no w
“You should know where all the nerve centers are in the body, right?” Dustin asked. “I… I do…” “Good,” said Dustin and told her to step forward. “You’ve got to be kidding me. Is he really going to let an intern physician treat Germaine? This is Germaine Vance of the Vance family!” Everyone was taken aback. They could not believe their eyes. “This is preposterous!” The other physicians felt skeptical. If Dustin wanted to pick someone to help, he should have picked a more experienced physician! Rowan’s expression was chilly, and he clenched his fists tightly. He was at the limit of his patience when it came to Dustin. Dustin ignored all these comments directed at what he was doing. He talked to the nervous intern physician for a bit and told her to clean Germaine’s mouth and nose. Then, he had her massage Germaine’s head at a few key nerve centers. The amount of pressure applied and the time needed in each area was different. After all that was done, Dustin h
Dustin moved to stand before Germaine and regarded him with his head lowered for a while. Then, he walked to the desk nearby and sat on a chair. “So? What’s the condition?” Rowan asked. “You won’t understand even if I told you. It’s a very rare condition. There’s something wrong with the old man’s cranial nerves,” Dustin said flatly. Dustin could tell that Germaine was skilled at fighting. Such people tended to put a lot of stress on their nerves all the time. In that way, they were very different from ordinary people. In rare cases, a light hit would result in a pinched nerve and might even cause paralysis. Germaine’s nerves were pinched so badly that his cranial nerves had been affected. Thus, he was paralyzed in several places, and it was affecting his whole body. As such, he had lost consciousness and fallen into a coma. Moreover, he was spitting out blood constantly. If he stayed in that condition for another fifteen minutes, Germaine’s life would be in dan
“What did you say?!” Rowan’s eyes widened as he was enraged. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Please spare me.” Clarence quickly fell to his knees and bowed. The might of the Vance family and Rowan’s fierce reputation terrified him. ‘We’re done for…’ Simone thought. That was what the entire staff of the hospital thought. “You’re a quack!” Rowan yelled. “What kind of trash hospital is this that you can’t even deal with such a small problem? I’ll destroy this hospital!” Rowan’s tantrum made everyone go quiet. “What’s all this noise? Shut up!” said a sudden voice. Everyone froze as they looked toward the source of the voice. It was Dustin! He had actually dared to shout at Rowan! The hospital staff were surprised. Dustin really had a death wish. “Dustin, have you gone mad?” Simone was flabbergasted. She quickly tried to pull Dustin aside. Rowan was not someone they could afford to offend! “What did you say, punk?” Rowan’s eyes narrowed as anger exuded from him in
At the outpatient section of the neurology department, there was a group of suited men in sunglasses surrounding an unconscious old man. By the old man’s bedside, his family members looked anxious and worried. Rowan Vance was pacing the ward. His eyebrows were knitted tightly. That day, the Vance family was on a day out. When they passed through Hattan, Germaine Vance had suddenly collapsed and started coughing up blood. It scared the entire group. Panicked, they rushed him to the nearest hospital. But the neurologist at the hospital had already done some checks but was unable to find out what the problem was. He then said that he would get an expert to examine the patient. “If you can’t save him, we’ll use all the power of the Vance family to destroy this hospital!” Rowan said viciously. The nurses in the neurology department were so terrified that they all went pale. After a while, as the members of the Vance family stood around impatiently, Dustin and the others ar
Clarence and the others felt insulted. “Punk, don’t regret your choice later! Even if you beg us, we won’t come back!” “That’s not likely to happen,” said Dustin and chuckled. Clarence and the others were even more livid. They all packed up their things in a huff and got ready to go. Simone was anxious. She wanted to make them stay, but everyone ignored her.“Dr. Boudin! Dr. Boudin!” As Clarence and the others were packing up, another physician suddenly rushed into the room in a panic. “A new patient was just transferred from Goodwill Hospital. He’s in a coma, but he’s coughing up blood. The files say it’s a brain condition, but tests aren’t showing where the problem is. Please hurry and take a look! “The patient’s family seems important. If we can’t save the patient, they’ll ruin the hospital!” “Oh?” Clarence raised an eyebrow. He was just thinking about how he could make things worse for Dustin when an opportunity presented itself immediately. “Please hurry and
