“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
Dustin was unfazed after Elijah had been beheaded. The Wyatt sisters all reacted differently. One was crying desperately, one had fainted, and another one cursed Dustin. Dustin did not care either way. He was not interested in dealing with Elijah’s body, either. Amara could settle that herself. “You will die in the same way as Eli one day!” Amara said viciously. “I’ll be waiting. I hope you actually find a way to follow through,” Dustin said indifferently. Among the four Wyatt sisters, Amara was the eldest and always acted high and mighty. She gave the orders and thought of herself as the smartest. Dustin did not think she was all that impressive. Rather, it was Clara who played her cards more closely and was more likely to succeed in life. However, whether she could get to a height to challenge Dustin remained to be seen. As for the other three sisters, they were spoiled and posed no threat to Dustin. They were even more useless than ordinary, powerless people. “Y
Everyone instantly fell silent and stared. That necklace was not fake? Luna was stunned. Her face was a mask of disbelief. “As for the amethyst on the necklace, it’s a perfect specimen. I have never seen such a perfect stone in my life. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it’s priceless! This necklace is the real Luxuria!” Dennis’s voice reverberated through the room and practically echoed. Everyone in the room was delighted. Luna could not believe her ears. The necklace was real? That flea market piece of junk was real? How was that possible? It was impossible! She refused to believe it! Luxuria was a piece of jewelry that even the Queen of Irkland could not get even though she offered an exorbitant price for it. How could Dustin compare to her? How in the world had he gotten his hands on it? “This is really a priceless necklace?” The members of the main Langley family were stunned. The necklace was not something a member from a branch of the Langle
Everyone looked toward the source of the voice. The speaker was a chubby middle-aged man in a pristine suit. He carried himself with some charisma. “It’s him! It’s the King of Jewels, Dennis Copper!” someone cried out upon recognizing the man. It was clear that Dennis was someone who was very well-known. “The King of Jewels!” Luna was taken aback. Dennis was a big shot in the jewelry business in Hattan and indubitably its top jewel magnate. His jewelry business had reached every corner of the country, and he had stores everywhere. That was why he was called the King of Jewels. Dennis was a very important person in Hattan, with a high standing in their society. Dennis was the leading authority when it came to jewels. “I can tell with just a glance whether a jewel is fake. Since we have such a lively crowd here, how about I authenticate that for myself?” Dennis said with a smile. “Mr. Copper, this is a piece of junk that costs only ten dollars. How can we bother yo
“A cheap fake necklace from the internet?” The socialites frowned. “How can you say my necklace is fake? This is an engagement gift from Dustin!” Simone said angrily. “That explains it,” Luna said with a smug look. “With a fiance like that, how could he afford the real thing? You really think too highly of him.” Simone’s face darkened. She did not know much about the necklace. But since it was a gift from Dustin, she liked it. She thought it was very beautiful and decided to wear it today. “Do you even know what the real one looks like?” Luna looked at her with mockery. “The real version, ‘Luxuria,’ was just released by the world’s top jewelry brand. The chain alone is made of 108 top-quality diamonds. Each diamond is worth millions!” Luna spoke proudly. She was pleased with her knowledge on the necklace. “The pendant is a purple gemstone that was mined from beneath an ancient iceberg in the far north, where it has been for millions of years. Its size and purity are rare,
They arrived at Glory Hotel for the press conference. The launch of the longevity pill and the beauty pill was a big deal, and it shook up the entire pharmaceutical market. With Skyler in charge, these pills had become famous across the country and even internationally. Many people were excited and eagerly waiting for them to be released. Because of this, many people wanted to get the rights to sell the pills. Simone had expected the event to be busy but was still surprised when she saw the crowd. Every person there was a well-known figure in the industry representing a powerful pharmaceutical company. At first, she thought only companies from Hattan would be competing, but she was wrong. Here, apart from a few top companies, almost no other pharmaceutical companies from Hattan were considered important. Pharmaceutical companies from all over the country had sent representatives to the event. “Wow…” The main Langley family was surprised when they entered the venue
“The car is worth nearly 10 million dollars. You must have paid a lot for that thing, right? I wonder if you’ve made enough money in the past few days to cover the cost,” Luna said with a smug grin. “Don’t get too confident. You think stealing our formula will destroy us? Keep dreaming. Once we get the distribution rights for the longevity pill and the beauty pill, Dusmone Pharmaceuticals will be nothing compared to us. Even the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the country will have to step aside! “You think you can still compete with us then?” “You haven’t gotten the distribution rights yet,” David shot back. These people were celebrating way too early. “Ha! Do you think you can even imagine the kind of connections we have?” The Langley family smirked and were even more arrogant. Thud! Thud! Thud! Suddenly, a large group of law enforcement officers in uniform stormed into the underground parking lot and headed straight for them. “What’s going on? Are they here to ar
At 6 p.m., the main Langley family gathered at Conan’s request and headed to Glory Hotel for Foxtin’s press conference. Archer, who had not shown up in a while, made an appearance with his noticeable blonde hair. “How could I miss a moment like this?” he said with a grin. Not long ago, Dustin had broken his hand, and it was still in a cast. It was not fully healed. Still, this was a great chance to be seen, and he did not want to miss it. The main reason was that he wanted to show off his luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom. His father, Orion, took the luxury car from Dustin, and he was really happy about it. His old Porsche was not even worth a million, so the two cars were on completely different levels. “Archer, your hand isn’t healed yet. Let me drive,” someone said. The Rolls-Royce had everyone in the family jealous. It was worth tens of millions, after all. “No need. I can drive it with one hand. I’ll just go slower if I have to,” Archer firmly said. “Archer, I’ll
Conan’s face was grim. His expression was so dark it seemed like a storm was brewing. They could lower their prices, but Dusmone Pharmaceuticals could do that as well. The real problem was that their drugs were not as effective as Dusmone Pharmaceuticals. They were bound to lose this price war. “When will the new drugs be ready?” Conan demanded. “The R&D department says, even in the best case, it’ll take at least a year for the new drugs to be ready,” someone said softly. “A year?!” Conan snarled. Everyone fell silent. Could Sunrise Pharmaceuticals last that long? With Dusmone Pharmaceuticals’s targeted attacks, it would only take a month for their company to tank, let alone a year. “Maybe we should talk to David?” someone said. “Give in to them? No way!” others immediately retorted. The main family had always looked down on the branch family and could not bring themselves to lower their pride. “Have you heard the big news in Hattan?” Luna suddenly asked. Ever
“What did you say?!” In the Langley family villa’s living room, Conan slammed his hand on the table. He was shocked and angry. “This can’t be possible! How could they do this?” The other Langley family members were also shocked and could not believe it. They were reacting like this because one of their family members had just brought in the latest news. Dusmone Pharmaceuticals had just been set up, and they had been keeping a close eye on them. The person had brought back news about Dusmone Pharmaceuticals, and it shocked everyone. “They’re selling all the same drugs as Sunrise Pharmaceuticals, but theirs are much more effective?! That can’t be true!” The Langley family members could not accept it. “It’s true! Their prices are much lower than ours,” the person said seriously. Hearing this, everyone was worried. Not only were their drugs more effective, but they were also cheaper! It was a huge problem. How could Sunrise Pharmaceuticals compete with them? It was
Thinking about Simone’s request, Daniel sneered. “As long as the Wilder family is in Hattan, you’ll never succeed in the pharmaceutical field!” … Sunrise Pharmaceuticals was the Langley family’s pharmaceutical company in Hattan. It was well-known in Hattan’s pharmaceutical industry. Normally, Luna’s family ran the company. Darren was the general manager, and Luna was the department manager. “Ms. Langley, bad news! You need to see this!” a subordinate suddenly said. Confused, Luna stepped outside and saw a new company across the street having its grand opening. “Dusmone Pharmaceuticals…” She stared at the name and was speechless. She also saw Simone and Dustin cutting the ribbon on stage. “Opening a hospital wasn’t enough, and now, they’re starting a pharmaceutical company right across from us? This is a direct challenge!” Luna had a hard time breathing because of the anger she felt. Dustin had once said he would beat them in their strongest field. At first, the ma
