“That doesn’t mean you can just attack someone! That’s against the law!” the same person said angrily. “Well, I already did. What now?” Dustin was unfazed. The man was livid. “You have no respect for the law! You will be punished for your crimes!” someone else yelled. “That’s right! Let’s see if you’re still so bold once you’re behind bars!” another person added. Dustin only scoffed. He decided that he might as well attack again. No one could see his attack clearly. In the blink of an eye, everyone was on the floor with swollen faces. “Ouch!” “Ahhh!!! It hurts so much!” Everyone was quite badly hurt, and they howled in pain. The ones who had made the most comments were badly hurt and suffered the most pain. Everyone looked at Dustin in fear. They were scared of Dustin. They had never met as vicious a person as Dustin before. No person simply attacked out of nowhere without any concern for the law. “Dustin, how could you attack them?” Keller’s att
“You’ll be alright, won’t you, Dustin?” Simone asked with some concern as she approached Dustin. She felt that these people all got what they deserved, but she knew that Dustin’s actions would indeed come with consequences. “You might be surprised at how things turn out,” said Dustin and smiled. Simone was a little surprised. The calm and unbothered way Dustin reacted confused Gavin and the others thoroughly. “We’ll see if you’ll still be smiling when the police get here!” Gavin yelled. “He’s only pretending to keep his cool. He must be shaking in his boots!” someone said with gritted teeth. Keller’s face was stony. He had never been hit by anyone before. As an exceptional person who had completed his tertiary education overseas and whose family was rich and powerful, he always maintained the grace of an elite person. Yet, a poor punk like Dustin had kicked him in the butt. This was a moment of great humiliation for him. After all, he was part of the family that
“Do you know that you’ve broken the law?” the police captain roared. In any other circumstance, he would have simply arrested the perpetrator without talking so much. However, he hesitated today. He had the vague sense that there was something different about this criminal. He also seemed a bit familiar. “They are the ones who broke the law,” Dustin said. If he declared them guilty, then they were the guilty ones who had broken the law. He had connections, too. “What nonsense! How could you be so brazen after you attacked them?” The police captain was livid when he heard this. “Captain, what’s the point of this? Just arrest him! There’s proof and witnesses. There’s no need to worry about him denying his crimes!” Gavin yelled impatiently. “Captain, the Prolereid Group won’t just let this go. You must arrest him!” The police captain was quiet for a moment. For some reason, he had an uneasy feeling about this. He felt unmoored. “You! Turn around!” he yelled an
“Hmph! Let’s see how long you can keep this attitude up!” Seeing that the police were finally going to arrest Dustin, Gavin joyfully taunted him. However, what happened next shocked him completely. A pair of handcuffs was secured around his wrists and locked in place with a click. The glee on Gavin’s face froze instantly. He stared in a daze at the gleaming metal around his wrists and was unable to process what was happening for a long time. What was going on? He looked over in confusion and saw that his colleagues had been handcuffed as well. Their faces reflected similar shock. “What’s the meaning of this?” Keller’s expression shifted when he saw that the people helping him up were bringing out handcuffs for him too. “I’m the general manager of the Prolereid Group. Why are you arresting me?” “Even if you were the chairman of the Prolereid Group’s board, we’d still arrest you,” said the two police officers darkly. Keller opened his mouth to speak but could not
“What the hell did you do, Gavin? What’s going on? I thought you had connections!” Keller yelled. He was extremely unhappy. “I don’t know what happened either, Mr. Douglas.” Gavin looked devastated. “I used to have a good relationship with the police captain. I don’t know why he turned against me today.” “Let’s see if this police captain can withstand the pressure I’ll put on him from above!” Keller’s face turned icy. “I want to use my right to a phone call!” he yelled at a guard. He wanted to call his family and have them put pressure on the Rivenesco Police Department. However, the guard completely ignored him. This angered Keller even further. He cursed at the guard and lost his graceful composure. The group remained in the holding cell until night fell. They were in pain and were hungry. The experience had nearly made them faint. After a long time, the police captain returned. “You’re a police captain, right? Tell me why you arrested us!” Keller demanded. “If
Keller and the others were locked up until nighttime. During this time, they were unable to get in contact with anyone outside. Every minute that passed was torture. Finally, around 8 p.m., the head of police arrived. The last head of police had been demoted, and this one had just taken over the role recently. He wore a dark look as he walked into the holding cell. It was clear that he was in a terrible mood. “You really have no clue who you’re up against!” the head of police, Scott Wheaton, roared when he got inside. He was in an awful mood. He had taken so long to show up because he had been dealing with a lot of phone calls. Each of them came from someone higher up than the last. Many important people were keeping an eye on this issue. Thus, he had been busy making sure that all these people were reassured. Scott knew that he would lose his job just as his predecessor had if he did not handle this matter well. So, he was venting his frustrations on this g
“I’m too young to go to prison!” Terror filled them in the holding cell and broke down their internal defenses. “F*ck! It’s all Dustin’s fault. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have offended someone we shouldn’t have!” Gavin said furiously. “That’s right! It’s all his fault! He’s gone and killed us all!” Everyone was angry and started to curse Dustin. Keller looked very displeased. This was the worst day of his life. Not only had he been beaten up, but he had also met with one unfortunate incident after another. At the same time, at the Langley family villa, Dustin and Simone returned home. However, Keller did not, so Monique asked about him. After a lot of attempts to find out what was going on, Simone finally said that Keller had been arrested. Surprised, Monique asked for the reason. Simone’s answer was not very clear, but Monique got the gist of it. Keller had gotten into some kind of conflict with Dustin. “When it comes down to it, Keller is still the
The fight at the restaurant scared more than Keller and his employees. Jack returned home feeling terrified. He was the one who had been sent crashing to the floor by Keller after barging in. He had planned to have a meal with friends at that restaurant. However, the private room next door got really noisy after just a few bites. It had been so bad that he could barely eat. In a fit of temper, he stormed into the other room to yell at the people there. However, he had been scared witless after seeing who the perpetrator was. Once, he had offended Dustin and nearly got killed, and the whole Zimmer family had almost been destroyed. It was only after Klein Zimmer begged for forgiveness and managed to suck up to Dustin that the Zimmer family grew so powerful. Jack was terrified of Dustin. At the restaurant, he was terrified. Thus, his first instinct was to escape. Jack did not expect that he would stumble into Dustin when he was only out for a simple meal. He had bee
Monique’s emotions were a tangle of relief and happiness. “Mr. Fox, if there’s anything you need, please don’t hesitate to tell me,” the manager said to Dustin. “There is one thing,” Dustin said with a cold smile as he turned his gaze toward the Douglas family. “Name it, sir.” “Throw these three out. Make sure they never set foot in this hotel again,” Dustin instructed as he pointed at the Douglas family trio. “And as for the money they paid, refund them ten times over. “I refuse to profit from people like them.” The Douglas family members’ faces paled instantly. They had not expected Dustin to flip the script so decisively and had even ordered the hotel to evict them. “Yes, Mr. Fox.” The manager nodded and spoke into his receiver. Within thirty seconds, several muscular security guards in uniform entered the room. “The boss says these three are to be removed,” the manager said firmly. “Understood!” The guards responded in unison and moved swiftly to
It felt like a bolt of lightning had struck them all, and they were left speechless. For a long moment, no one around Dustin made a sound. They simply stared at him in shock and were unable to utter a single word. He… had actually bought a five-star hotel! His account really did have billions in it! The sheer shock rippled through their minds like a tidal wave and left them unable to comprehend the situation. On top of that, the hotel owner was selling a thriving five-star hotel to Dustin at the lowest price… What was he even thinking? Questions and disbelief swirled in everyone’s heads and left them utterly speechless. “Mr. Fox, are you ready to sign the papers?” the manager asked respectfully. “I am.” Dustin smiled faintly. The manager handed over the documents to Dustin, who placed them on the table and signed without even glancing at the terms. He already knew the hotel owner was aware of his identity and would not dare to pull any tricks. Next,
She could not bring herself to believe that Dustin could possibly come up with enough money to buy a five-star hotel on the spot. That was no small sum! “Sir, our hotel is performing well and isn’t currently for sale,” the manager said politely with a smile. “Then, I’m even more interested,” Dustin said with a faint smile and pulled a black gold card from his wallet. The manager’s expression changed instantly. His sharp eyes recognized the exclusive black gold card. Dustin placed the card in the manager’s hand. “Go ahead. Contact your boss and let him know Dustin from Rivenesco wants to buy this hotel.” The manager trembled slightly as he held the card. His experience told him that this was a Supreme Card from Lovellia’s Central Bank. It was exclusive to individuals with over a billion dollars in deposits in the Central Bank and an extraordinary status. He did not dare to waste any of Dustin’s time. “I’ll reach out to our boss immediately. Please wait a m
“Excuse me, sir, how may I assist you?” the waiter asked with a polite smile. “Cut the chatter. Just go call them. It’s nothing bad.” Dustin dismissed him with a wave. The waiter’s smile froze momentarily. “Please wait here.” He turned and walked away. The group exchanged puzzled glances, as they were unsure of Dustin’s intentions. “Dustin, what are you up to?” Keller frowned as he asked. “Didn’t you all look down on me, saying that I couldn’t even afford one night in this hotel?” Dustin smirked. “Let me prove otherwise.” The group froze for a second. Ellen’s face twisted. She had only meant to mock Dustin for being poor. Who could afford to splurge on a night here out of spite? “I didn’t mean…” she began, but Franklin raised his hand and cut her off. “Let’s see how he plans to prove it,” he said, as he was clearly intrigued. He did not think Dustin would make a scene for no reason. But how exactly did he plan to demonstrate his financial capacity
“Don’t worry. I will use all my connections to get you reinstated!” He made a promise. “Haha…” Dustin chuckled scornfully. “It’s useless. The person from the Lannopolis Central Main Arbitration Court said that the order personally came from the highest level in Lannopolis!” Sylus said dejectedly.“What?!” The Douglas family members were completely shocked. The order was personally given by the highest power in Lannopolis. Dustin was able to ask the highest power in Lannopolis to personally issue an order to dismiss a chief. The implication made Franklin and Keller shudder in fear. Both of them had worked in this field, but they were still far from reaching such a high level. At this time, the faces of the Douglas family members changed swiftly, and they remained silent for a long time. Ellen was even more cautious. She did not know about Dustin’s real identity, so she dared not yell at him again.Franklin looked at Dustin with a stern face. “Do you… know anyone po
Other than Dustin, everyone was extremely shocked. Dustin had just sent out a text, and the chief of the Arbitration Court in the Third District was fired? That was not a small position. How could he be fired just like that? Even if he were to be fired, it would still take a few days to go through the whole procedure. But… Dustin had sent just one text! They could not believe it. Was it really him? Did he have that kind of power? “Mr. Lane, please clarify. What exactly happened? Why did you suddenly get fired?” Franklin frowned and asked.This was ridiculous. “Who made the call? Who dares to fire you?”Sylus’s face was grim. He also looked confused. “The call was from Lannopolis Central Main Arbitration Court. They said I’ve gotten involved in something that I shouldn’t have, and I abused my position and power, so they want to fire me.“They even said I won’t be a public employee again.”Sylus’s words made them even more shocked. What did it mean that he had g
When Monique and Simone heard that, both their faces stiffened. The Arbitration Court was a department dedicated to resolving various civil disputes. They would handle all cases of disputes and give their judgments before it was enforced by the relevant authorities.The chief of the Arbitration Court was definitely not a low-level, ordinary position. He had immense power. They knew that Franklin’s father used to be a prominent person, but they did not expect him to be able to leverage someone of this level even after retirement. Monique felt hopeless. Franklin had even invited the chief of the Arbitration Court, which made her feel hopeless. When that kind of department got involved, no matter how she tried, she could not stop the sentence that the department pronounced. “Mr. Lane, please handle this case,” Franklin said to Sylus. He smiled faintly and glanced at Dustin. What an ungrateful kid! “Since you have asked for my help, I naturally will do my best,” Sylus
After Jack beat Keller and others, his anger finally dissipated, and he wanted to apologize to Dustin. Dustin waved his hands in dismissal and motioned for him to leave. Jack dared not disobey Dustin, so he could only obediently leave. Dustin walked to Keller who lay on the ground and looked down at him indifferently.“What’s your relationship with Jack?” Keller asked unwillingly. All of them were beaten, but only Dustin remained uninjured. Besides, Jack treated Dustin differently, and anyone could see that there was something between them.“Rivenesco is not a place which you can control. Simone is also not someone whom you can covet. Go back to Somerton now,” Dustin said indifferently. David cared about this, so Dustin saw no reason to deal with Keller harshly. He just needed to make the latter back out. Keller’s face turned red. He did not say anything. He felt unwilling and ashamed. He just returned from the best university abroad. He rolled up his sleeves and was ab
“Why… why are you suddenly angry?” Gavin asked in confusion. He did not understand what was going on.“Mr. Zimmer, please don’t be angry. If we’ve said something wrong, please forgive us…” He tried to defuse the situation. “Who the hell are you?” Jack asked impatiently.Gavin’s words died in his throat, and his face darkened. “If you can’t speak properly, just shut up! If you say anything more, I’ll make sure you’re never able to talk again!” Jack shouted. Gavin’s face turned a shade of red, and he dared not speak again. “Mr. Zimmer, what’s wrong? All we did was scold Dustin just a little.” Keller forced out a smile and tried to calm Jack down.“Shut up!” Jack suddenly shouted, and his face twisted in anger. Keller was so frightened that he trembled, and his face stiffened. “F*ck you! I can’t believe that I was so polite to you until now! Bah!” Jack was very annoyed. He was always a very bad-tempered person. It was an ordeal for him to restrain himself and act so humbl
