“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
Daniel’s face changed. He tried to dodge, but he could not move fast enough. He could not avoid the punch. Soon, he felt a sharp pain in his face. “Ah!” Daniel screamed, and his body flew through the air. This time, blood poured from his nose and mouth, and his face was swollen like a pig’s head. “Ah… it hurts so much…” Daniel’s voice sounded strange and muffled. “Dustin, stop! You’ll kill him!” Simone shouted anxiously. She was worried he would cause serious damage. “This guy is up to no good. He even dared to snatch my fiancee away. Not crippling him right away is already being merciful enough,” Dustin said and chuckled. “I’ll kill you!” Daniel got up and yelled in rage. “I’m the only son of the Wilder family patriarch of Somerton. I’m one of the most important people in this whole province! And you, a future son-in-law of the Langley family, dare to hit me? You’ll regret this! “You’re finished! When my family gets mad, the whole province will feel the consequence
Dustin did not stop him. He just quietly watched and wondered who Daniel’s man would call. “Look what you’ve done. You’ve really made things worse now. Let’s see how you get out of this,” Simone angrily said. “Why aren’t you running? Are you waiting to be thrown in jail?” “Run? Why should I?” Dustin remained indifferent. “I want to see who he thinks can help him.” “Fine. I’ll go to jail with you then.” Simone rolled her eyes. But deep down, she felt touched. Dustin was jealous because of her. “Running won’t help. You can’t escape even if you had wings,” Daniel said from the floor with a bitter tone. “Simone, you saw it. Your useless fiance doesn’t know what he’s doing. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’ll make sure he pays for this!” “Daniel, just stop…” Simone was speechless. He was basically asking to be beaten up more. “There’s no use begging me. No one has ever dared to hit me. People like him deserve to die!” Simone sighed. She did not know how to respond. Dust
“The Quinn family of Central Harbor. Is that right? Is it really the Quinn family?” All the guests were taken aback after it was announced. They wondered if they had heard wrongly. The Quinn family of Central Harbor was a truly important family. They were one of the greatest and most elite families of Lovellia! They held a much higher position than any of the families in Somerton, including the Wilder family! For the main Langley family, the Wilder family was one they could barely hope to get close to. However, the Quinn family was even greater than the Wilder family. It was difficult to imagine the full power the patriarch of the Quinn family had. Yet, that lofty person was personally there to wish Alvern a very happy birthday. It was shocking! What kind of clout did Alvern have that even Jasper had come here? Daniel’s jaw dropped, and he looked thoroughly shocked. This had far surpassed his imagination. The guests who had come to this birthday banquet completel
“Happy Seventieth Birthday, Mr. Langley,” Braddick said and bowed to Alvern. The action shocked everyone. Braddick was the patriarch of a great family in Somerton, but he actually bowed to Alvern! Could this be Daniel’s doing? If it was, then Daniel’s influence as the son of the Wilder family was truly impressive. “Daniel, did you invite these people here?” Alvern asked softly. Daniel could not help but frown. “Maybe they rushed over here because they heard that I’m here.” “Truly, your reputation precedes you,” the members of the main Langley family said. They were all smiles. Although Daniel’s logic was sound, Thaddeus and Braddick only wished Alvern happy birthday and did not approach Daniel to speak to him. It was as if they were ignoring him. For a moment, Daniel’s pride took a hit. His face twisted in annoyance. ‘How dare the insignificant Shrike family ignore me? Do they want to die?’ After agonizing about it for a bit, he decided to throw his weight around an
“Who is Dustin Fox?” some members of the National Pharmaceutical Department yelled loudly as they stormed in. “That’s him!” The members of the main Langley family pointed at Dustin. “You are suspected of stealing confidential drugs from the National Pharmaceutical Department. You’d best comply and help with our investigation. If you don’t, you’ll have to face the consequences!” The people from the National Pharmaceutical Department were very aggressive. “Come with us now!” Daniel and the members of the main Langley family were all laughing. Meanwhile, Simone and her parents were worried. “Very well,” Dustin said flatly. “Wait for my return,” he said to Simone. Then, he followed the people from the National Pharmaceutical Department. Daniel looked away from Dustin. He was still smiling. He watched as the members of the main Langley family simpered before him before looking over at Simone, who was standing quietly nearby. He felt delighted. Dustin had beaten him up be
“Come here and bow before Daniel. If you apologize and slap yourself twenty times, he will forgive you.” Dustin’s gaze was sharp, and his posture became threatening. Were the members of the main Langley family serious? They wanted him to slap himself twenty times and beg for forgiveness? This was supposed to be the kind of negotiation they had done with Daniel on the family’s behalf? This was an out-and-out insult! The guests all looked amused at the proceedings. The members of the main Langley family were truly heartless in making one of their own family members beg an outsider for forgiveness. They were really giving their all to suck up to Daniel. Dustin looked pitiful. He had offended someone he should not have and gotten into such trouble with the main Langley family. At this point, everyone was waiting to see if Dustin would bow under pressure. “Are you deaf, Dustin?” the members of the main Langley family shouted. “Hurry up and beg Daniel for forgiveness!
“Actually, everyone, Mr. Daniel of the Wilder family of Somerton has some connection with us,” Alvern said loudly to the guests as he held Daniel’s hand. The guests were suddenly in an uproar. The Langley family was not very famous. It was a shock that they had any sort of connection with the Wilder family. If the Wilder family gave them just the slightest bit of a boost, the Langley family would be able to soar to unimaginable heights. “Daniel isn’t just here to celebrate my birthday tonight. We have another important matter to settle,” Alvern said. “Mr. Langley, what is the matter?” someone asked inquisitively. Alvern looked around and paused. “Some of you might have already heard whispers of it. Dustin Fox, Simone’s fiance from the branch family, beat Daniel up for no reason a few days ago and injured him severely.” The guests’ expressions turned stiff. Indeed, there were whispers of the incident. The whole thing had shaken up Hattan. It seemed that there w
All the other grandchildren presented worthy gifts, even though the most valuable presents were worth only tens or thousands of dollars. “Good! This is great!” Alvern was beaming where he sat. He was very pleased. “Simone Langley, a member of the branch Langley family, and her fiance present a petrified coral.” When it was Dustin and Simone’s turn, Dustin brought out the antique he had won at the Antiquities Trading Hall. When it was brought out, there was instantly an uproar. “I heard that this is a very rare antique. It’s worth no less than 20 million dollars. It’s a rare gem!” muttered the guests. “Dustin is too generous. Doesn’t the Langley family look down on him? How could he possibly have the ability to spend so much money?” Some of the guests were shocked. The members of the main Langley family turned ashen when the petrified coral was presented. They were very displeased. Meanwhile, Alvern’s eyes were sparkling. He was very pleased with the gift. The mai
There was an invitation card on a table at the villa where Simone and her family were staying. David and Simone frowned as they looked at it. It was from the main Langley family. “Alvern Langley will have his seventieth birthday soon and has invited us to the banquet. They even said that they will return the things we seek,” David said. “Our families are estranged, so why did they send us this invitation? It must be a trap!” Simone agreed as well. “Let’s ignore them. They’re on the verge of bankruptcy anyway. When the time comes, they will naturally have to return those things to us anyway.” Dustin only smiled. “We should go. Why shouldn’t we? I sure want to see what they have planned.” It was about time to deal with the main Langley family once and for all. … It was a big day for the main Langley family. Alvern Langley, the eldest member of the main Langley family, was about to celebrate his seventieth birthday. Dustin and Simone were all cleaned up and
The members of the main Langley family gathered in the main hall of their home. They had been thoroughly humiliated during the launch event. At the same time, all their hopes had been crushed. Without the sales rights of those drugs, their pharmaceutical company had no way to grow. At this point, Dusmone Pharmaceuticals had pushed Sunrise Pharmaceuticals right to the edge. The company’s stock price reached a trench, and the main Langley family lost nearly a trillion dollars in just a few days. As for Dusmone Pharmaceuticals, they were currently doubling down on their efforts. The main Langley family could do nothing to challenge them. None of them had any ideas for how to counter the situation. Right then, a member of their staff came up with more bad news. “Is this true?” In the seat of honor, Conan glared at the servant. “Sir, it’s true! All of Rivenesco knows about it. Everyone knows that Dustin beat up the eldest son of the Wilder family of Somerton. He’s cur
“Please sit.” The movers were very polite as they placed the chairs behind David and Monique. Brian took over from a mover and placed Simone’s chair for her personally. “Miss Simone, please sit,” Brian said with a smile. Simone and her family were stunned and did not dare to sit down. Why was Foxtin suddenly treating them so well? Conan and the others were similarly confused. Their expressions were ones of shock. Why was Foxtin treating these insignificant members of the branch family so well? They were the important ones here! “Mr. Foxtin, these three are not members of our family!” Conan had no choice but to remind Foxtin loudly. “Are you certain?” Foxtin’s voice was chilly. “Positive!” Conan said solemnly. “Since you have no relation, what did you come in here for? Do you think you have what it takes to be in this hall?” Foxtin suddenly shouted. The members of the main Langley family were stunned. “But… didn’t you ask us to come in?” someone asked weakly
