Hayden was bewildered. Does dealing with Dustin really warrant such a large-scale response? He was feeling increasingly uneasy. Could Dustin truly be that formidable? Hayden did not dare to speak. He stood aside and waited for the Lynch family’s core members to gather. Half an hour later, the core members of the Lynch family arrived. “What’s so urgent, Martin?” asked an elder. “Something may have happened to Steven,” Martin said gravely. “What? That’s impossible!” The room erupted in shock. Steven was a Martial Saint and an elite martial artist even in a developed region like Hattan. Few could stand against him. “The operation to eliminate the surviving descendant of the Fox family has failed,” Martin said. The news sent a ripple of disbelief through the room. “Even Wolfin, one of the top ten assassins on the assassins leaderboard, couldn’t take him down? How is that possible?!” The Lynch family could not believe it. Known for his deadly precision,
The commotion at the front gate was impossible to ignore, and the core members of the Lynch family in the grand living room were quickly alerted. “What’s happening outside?” Martin demanded. “Sir... someone’s broken in!” said a panicked voice from outside. “What?” The expressions of the Lynch family members darkened immediately. “Someone actually dares to storm into the Lynch family villa? They must have a death wish!” “It’s like barging into hell uninvited!” Already irritable, the Lynch family members were enraged. “Let’s see who has such audacity. They won’t leave here in one piece!” Someone growled and took the lead as the family stormed out. When they arrived at the front gate, they saw their trained martial artists sprawled lifelessly on the ground. Yet, the intruders numbered only a few. “Stop right there! Who are you?” roared an elder from the Lynch family angrily. “That’s the surviving descendant of the Fox family, Dustin!” Hayden shouted as h
“Looks like he wants to die.” The Lynch family members sneered. Martial artists familiar with the Lynch family’s techniques knew that when fighting someone using the Lynch family’s martial arts, they should avoid their powerful attacks at the beginning of the fight and focus on wearing them down. It was because they put most of their energy into the initial attacks, so these attacks were incredibly powerful. But Drake did not avoid it. Instead, he faced the attack with one hand. It was like he was suicidal. In the blink of an eye, Martin was already before Drake. Boom! It was like a bomb going off. Martin’s punch created a strong windy impact that destroyed the flowers and plants in the yard. The wind also knocked the people back. They covered their eyes with their hands and struggled to stay on their feet. When everything calmed down, everyone opened their eyes. What they saw left them stunned, and they exchanged shocked looks. Drake blocked Martin’s punch with his pal
A figure rushed over like a whirlwind, and the strong windy impact he caused made it hard for everyone to see clearly. Colton’s hair was messy. His powerful presence made it clear just how strong he was. He had been abruptly woken from his rest. The moment he heard someone had attacked the Lynch family, he was consumed by rage. Without hesitation, he smashed through the walls of his secret chamber and dashed straight to the scene. “Sir!” Upon seeing him, the Lynch family felt like their savior had arrived. Their fear turned into hope and confidence. Colton saw the devastation around him and noticed Martin, pale and weak, being held up by others. His pure energy flared up violently. He fixed a glare filled with murderous intent on Dustin and his group. “You all deserve to die!” he roared furiously. “Sir, that man is Dustin Fox, the last surviving descendant of the Fox family! He brought his men here to attack us!” someone pointed at Dustin and shouted. “His accomplice
Dustin had killed someone as powerful as Colton with just one punch! Was Dustin even human? “How can Dustin be this strong?” Martin asked with a shaky voice. Despair spread through the Lynch family like a dark cloud. Thud! Hayden fell to the floor. His face was pale and filled with dread. Was this the end of the Lynch family? If they were finished, what would happen to the Clarke family? What about his son, Killian? Hayden’s mind was a mess, and he could not think straight. Thump! Thump! Thump! Suddenly, the sound of heavy, synchronized footsteps came from outside the villa. It sounded like a large group was approaching. Hayden forced himself to stand up and look outside. As he watched, his tense expression slowly eased. He recognized the emblem. “It’s the Governor’s office! The Governor’s people are here!” Hayden shouted. “I… I see the Governor himself! He’s leading the team!” Hearing this, the Lynch family’s spirits lifted slightly. The Governor of H
“It’s time to pick up Simone.” After leaving the Lynch family villa, Dustin calmly got into the car. Destroying the Lynch family did not mean much to him. Back when the Fox family was attacked, many forces were involved, and the Lynch family was just a small player among them. He told Drake to drive and pick up Simone to take her home. “My Liege, the person Miss Simone is meeting isn’t exactly someone good,” Drake said suddenly. Dustin always had Hell Hall’s people secretly protecting Simone and her family, so Drake was aware of her situation at all times. “She’s meeting her college classmate, Daniel Wilder. He is the only son of the patriarch of the Wilder family from Somerton. It’s a second-rate family in Lovellia. “This morning, Daniel called Miss Simone and told her he had something to give her. They arranged to meet at a coffee shop this afternoon. “By the way, Daniel and Miss Simone were close in college. He even went out of his way to confess his feelings to he
Dustin ignored the waiter and rushed up to the second floor. “Sir, what are you doing? Please stop!” The waiter chased after him. Dustin rushed upstairs, glanced around, and quickly located the private room where the two were. He strode to the door in just a few steps and kicked it open. Bam! With a loud crash, Dustin kicked the wooden door to pieces to reveal the people inside. Simone and Daniel were both startled by the loud noise. “Dustin?” Simone was surprised to see him. Daniel’s face darkened immediately. “Sir, I couldn’t stop him. He ran too fast,” the waiter ran up and said nervously. “Leave.” Daniel waved him off and then looked at Dustin closely. He wanted to see what Dustin would do. “Dustin, why are you being so reckless? Apologize to Daniel,” Simone said in frustration. She wanted to use the Wilder family’s connections to help Dustin with his business. “Apologize to him? Does he even deserve it?” Dustin asked coldly. He refused to back down. Dani
“Daniel, what do you mean by that?” Simone asked in confusion. “Actually, it’s good to say this now,” Daniel smiled and said, “Simone, you know, I’ve liked you since college. Even though you rejected me back then, I still haven’t stopped loving you after all these years. “Even if you’re already engaged, what does it matter? I bet it’s because your family pressured you. It’s not what you really want. If you break off your engagement, I’ll go to your family and propose marriage right away. I won’t turn you down. “You’ll have no future with a loser like him. You know my background. Choosing me would be the smart decision. I’m much better than him!” Simone was shocked by Daniel’s words. He was acting crazy by saying all those things. “Hey, what makes you think you’re good enough for Simone? Know your place,” Daniel said to Dustin mockingly. He looked down on Dustin. “If you leave her, I’ll give you a huge amount of money. It’s more than you’ll ever make in your entire life. W
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
