“Dad?” Michael’s eyes widened in disbelief. He was certain that was the voice of his father and the head of the Carson family, George Carson. But why was he here? Following the sound, Michael turned and saw a stern middle-aged man glaring at him in anger. Michael rubbed his eyes. He was still in disbelief. George was supposed to be in Central Harbor. Why was he here? “Dad, why are you here?” asked Michael in fear as all his arrogance vanished. He was the heir of the Carson family and feared no one except for George. Whenever George pulled a long face, Michael trembled in fear. At that moment, George was so furious, and Michael was terrified. He had never seen such a scary look on George’s face before. “I said, get on your knees and apologize!” George shouted. Thud! Michael did not dare disobey him. He fell to his knees in front of George. “Not to me! To him!” George shouted. Michael followed George’s gaze, and his face stiffened. George was talking about
“When the Carson family fell into decline, Thomas joined Hell Hall. With their support, we rose to power again and joined the ranks of powerful families! “In order to repay the King of Hades, Thomas became one of his Secret Guards. That is a great honor for the Carson family!” George’s words sent Michael into shock. This was too much for him to handle. “He’s… the King of Hades… the leader of Hell Hall?” Michael looked at Dustin in disbelief. “Obviously.” George really wanted to slap Michael again. Michael felt all his strength drain from his body, and his face turned pale. The King of Hades? He was the ruler of the underground! He stood at the top of the world! Michael could not believe that the person the Wyatt family kicked out was the leader of Hell Hall and the master of the Carson family. Michael trembled so badly at that point that his mouth quivered. He was no longer arrogant. ‘Oh no… Oh no…’ he thought as he trembled. “After I sent those two messages to
The Wyatt sisters gathered together at the Wyatt family villa. Amara looked much better than she had a few days ago. It seemed like she had recovered from the dejection she felt from losing her money in the stock market. “How’s the situation with the company?” she asked as she sat on the sofa. “Not good. The Zimmer family keeps pushing us, and they don’t seem to want to stop. It looks like they intend to take us down with them,” Clara said darkly. Amara pulled a long face. She had thought about buying shares to save the company, but she ended up losing fifty million dollars, which worsened the situation. “How are you feeling, Bella?” She looked over at Bella, who was sitting beside her. Bella appeared to be in a daze and did not answer. “She’s not mentally here… at least not entirely. Sometimes, she’s okay, but whenever I ask her what happened that day, she starts screaming and loses all her reason.” Delia sighed. “I can’t cure her… not with my skills. I heard that a fa
“Why is one of the Seven Fiends here?” Shadow Two asked darkly. “I heard that the Wyatt family is no longer under the king’s protection. Looks like it’s true.” The Hidden Fiend looked around with a teasing grin. “Over the years, plenty of powerful fighters attacked the Wyatt family, but they’ve never been able to step in because of that person who was protecting this place. Now, I’ve just walked in, and I’m still fine. It seems like he really has left.” The Hidden Fiend smiled coldly. “What did you say? King’s protection? People have been trying to attack this place?” Delia was puzzled. “He must be talking about one of the Shadows,” Amara whispered. “We have thieves vying for our treasure. Dad left behind the Shadows to protect us from the dark. That’s why we were safe. But Dustin shamelessly tried to claim credit for all of that since he didn’t know about the Shadows. He doesn’t know that I do, though,” Amara said mockingly. Shadow Two was stunned because he knew that the S
As night fell, Simone drove back to the Langley family villa. As usual, Dustin followed her. He followed Simone everywhere every day and helped her take care of company matters. They looked like a couple, and other people also treated Dustin like he was already married to Simone. Dustin said nothing about the matter and just let things happen on their own. He did like Simone, and if they really were to get together, he would not refuse. After they got out of the car, they wanted to go into the villa, but Dustin suddenly stopped. “Head in first, Simone. I’m going to buy some things,” Dustin said with a smile. Simone gave him a look. “Come back soon. I’ll wait for you to have dinner together.” Then, she went in. Dustin’s face darkened. He left the Langley family villa in a flash and stopped under a tree. “Come out!” he snapped. Someone stepped out from the dark. He looked surprised. “You live up to the reputation of being Lucas’s best student. You’re pretty good
He held a dagger and lunged toward Dustin to attack him from the back. He wanted to tear Dustin up and slice his flesh off to make him experience a fate worse than death. That was the price for underestimating him. In an instant, the Hidden Fiend drew close to Dustin. With a savage face, he swung his dagger. Boom! Suddenly, he heard an explosion beside him. It was quick and loud. “What?” The Hidden Fiend looked to the side and was surprised to see someone charging at him at lightning speed. During that critical moment, the Hidden Fiend gave up on attacking Dustin and attacked the other person instead. Clang! His dagger shattered to pieces. The Hidden Fiend’s eyes widened in shock. But before his surprise could sink in, a violent force rammed into his body. “Cough!” His ribs broke, and he coughed up blood. The Hidden Fiend skidded back for nearly thirty feet before he stopped. His face was filled with fear. The pain he experienced could not even compare t
Clara sat in a pavilion within the Wyatt family garden. While she fed the fish, she watched them fight for the food with an indifferent face. “Did you look into it?” she asked. Shadow Two stood beside her. “I couldn’t find anything,” he said. “Even the best information organization in Lovellia that I paid to dig out information couldn’t find anything. They just told me that the person’s information is classified as SSS grade by the Divine Hall. Not even their best programmer could hack into it.” Clara froze. “The Divine Hall’s SSS grade?” Her face stiffened. “The Divine Hall is just a title. It’s the storage bank for classified information about the most important people in Lovellia. Every single person in the Divine Hall is incredibly mysterious. They have high statuses and also incredible influence,” Shadow Two said. “You can say that every person in the Divine Hall has the power to influence the world order. Their statuses and information are only accessible to the rulers
“We have to take revenge for the Hidden Fiend and retrieve that treasure while we’re at it!” The other five fiends stood up. The Seven Fiends operated on a system where they shared each other’s glory and each other’s losses. They had to avenge the Hidden Fiend. This was the first time the Seven Fiends were working together, so it was bound to be an operation that shocked all martial artists. “I don’t think you need to leave this place to do that,” someone suddenly said from the dark. The other six fiends were shocked. “Who is it? Come out!” Two people came out of the darkness. Their faces gradually came into view. “Who are you?” the leader asked with narrowed eyes. If these two people could show up unnoticed, then they were certainly strong. “I’m the person you are looking for.” Dustin looked at the six fiends closely. “What?! You’re Dustin Fox?” The six fiends were surprised. Dustin had killed their comrade and had the nerve to turn up here? Did he really wan
“How did they get poisoned? So many people at that! “What should we do? Dr. Campbell, if you don’t have a solution, how will we save these patients?“Could it be that… Peace Hospital is coming to an end?” Simone was very anxious. She could not handle this situation. She was unable to do anything about it.“Miss Simone, why are you panicking?” Pedro asked with an amused expression. “This situation is desperate. How can I not panic? But Dr. Campbell, why are you so calm?” Simone looked very worried.“The strange poison is scary, and I also can’t do anything at the moment, but this isn’t a very difficult situation for the hospital.”“Even when you don’t have the solution? How is this not a difficult situation? Can we still count on other people?” Simone asked. “Where’s Mr. Fox? Please ask him to come here,” Pedro said.Simone felt puzzled. If even the top physician was helpless. What could Dustin do? She noticed that the noble and reputable Dr. Campbell was very polite wh
On the way back, everyone from the Langley family was in a bad mood. They initially went to watch a farce, but they had instead witnessed an interesting scene. No one could understand why so many famous physicians rushed to join Dustin’s small, private hospital when it was about to go bankrupt. What was even more incredulous was that they did not even want to be paid. Was it not the biggest joke ever? It did not make any sense at all. But one thing was for sure: this hospital would make a comeback. It would be a huge threat to Goodwill Hospital of the Langley family, and they did not have much of a competitive edge in this. “I wonder why they are so lucky! Are the famous physicians out of their minds?” “Are we just going to sit still and do nothing? Are we not running our hospital anymore?” Everyone was in a bad mood, and some people started complaining. “Don’t worry, there are tons of ways to bring down a hospital,” someone said meaningfully. … Today, Simone sat
However, when Pedro heard all this, he burst into laughter. “Your strength of character is priceless. Don’t worry. We did not come here because of money. Our salary is not important. We don’t mind even if we aren’t paid a cent. Just don’t let us go to work hungry.” Once again, Simone could not believe her ears. These physicians did not even care about getting a decent salary! In reality, any hospital would welcome these physicians with open arms and offer exorbitant salaries as long as they were willing to work for them. “How is this possible? They don’t even want a salary!” The media outlets were all taken aback. Simone’s family exchanged puzzled glances. This was a miracle! It was as if they were in a dream. “As for the hospital’s equipment, that’s not a problem at all,” Pedro said. He told some people to open the trunks of the cars. The trunks of the cars were filled with the latest medical equipment and tools. “We’ve brought the latest medical equipment. I
After dealing with Clarence, Pedro looked at Simone and Dustin. “Hello, Miss Simone,” Pedro said with a smile and put out his hand to shake Simone’s. Simone’s eyes went wide, and she was stunned. Pedro was a legendary person, a majestic grade physician, and a true national treasure of Lovellia. Not only did a person like that know her name, but he was also reaching out to shake hands with her! When Clarence had tried to shake hands with Pedro, he had not even looked at the man. Stunned by the attention she was getting, Simone could not react for a while. She was frozen in place. “Simone!” Excited, Monique quickly shook Simone. As if she had just woken up from a dream, Simone quickly shook hands with Pedro. “H-Hello, Dr. Campbell. I’m simply too excited. I hope you can excuse my actions.” Pedro was very kind and reassured Simone. He told her there was no need to be so nervous. “Miss Simone, these others and I are all here to join Peace Hospital. I hope you’ll h
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
