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
“What… what do you want to know?” The leader’s face paled, and his eyes filled with terror. He was the only one left, and the threat of death made him lose his courage. Dustin’s fierce gaze put immense pressure on him. After all, he was a terrifying figure who could make a sovereign grade fighter obey him! “What exactly is the treasure of the Wyatt family? Why are you people looking for it?” Dustin asked with a frown. This question had puzzled him for years. Ever since Lucas’s passing, he took up the task of protecting the Wyatt family and fought against far too many powerful people. From a nobody, he became a world-class fighter whose name made all other martial artists quake in their boots. He had also killed far too many people who coveted the treasure of the Wyatt family. They were people from various groups and world-class organizations. But even to this day, he did not know what exactly the treasure was. How great of an item must it be that so many people were w
The Old Town of Rivenesco was a vibrant area. In the early morning, a long queue stretched from the beginning of the street to the end and caused a traffic jam. Even by noon, the crowd had not lessened in number. After Simone finished negotiating a deal, she drove down the street with Dustin, and they ended up getting stuck in traffic. “I heard that a famous physician has returned from a major city and opened up a clinic here. I didn’t expect such a crowd here. So many people queued up just to meet him…” Simone marveled at the crowd. Dustin frowned. He had heard someone talk about it a few days ago. The physician was a local of Rivenesco. After becoming famous elsewhere, he returned to his hometown. His mind quickly scanned through the well-known doctors listed on the physician’s website. The number of famous physicians in the country was not as many as in the West, so Dustin quickly identified him. This physician was a top grade physician on the medical website. “I
Dylan examined Bella and frowned. “Is it bad?” Delia asked worriedly. “It’s nothing major. She just has to rest. She’ll be fine after that. Don’t let her get into any stressful situations,” Dylan said. “I’ll write you a prescription. After you get the medicine, remember to make sure your sister takes it on time every day. Make sure that the dosage is right. You cannot make any mistakes with it.” Delia read the prescription. “You really are one of the best physicians. The usual physician wouldn’t dare prescribe these two medicines together. If the dosage is a little off, the patient might die. Those who would dare make such a prescription are either useless or are as great and skilled as you are.” She smiled and praised Dylan. Dylan was shocked when he heard that. “You understand medicine?” Delia smiled. “Honestly, I’m an intermediate grade physician. The Medical Sage was once my teacher.” Dylan’s face darkened when he heard that. “Why is the student of the Medical S
Dustin said it loudly, so everyone heard it. Dylan’s face darkened as he scowled at Dustin. Delia looked at him in surprise and confusion. Why was Dustin siding with the Medical Sage? “The audacity! You have no right to talk about this!” Dylan’s assistant snapped and went over to Dustin. “You’re not welcome here! Leave!” He then tried to push Dustin and Simone out. Dustin glared at him. Bam! The assistant was flung back and fell beside Dylan and Delia and fainted. “You rude brat!” Dylan flew into a rage and slammed his hand against the table. He then threatened Dustin. “I’ve been a physician for years and have treated plenty of powerful people before! All of them feel grateful to me! You have no right to cause trouble in my clinic!” “Dustin, do you still think you’re in the Wyatt family, and you can do whatever you want here?” Delia asked with a sneer. “What do you think you’ll get by siding with the Medical Sage? Does he even know you? You’re insignificant. You can
“I can’t do it, Dustin. I know nothing about medicine!” Simone quickly shook her head. She was worried about Dustin losing. “Don’t worry. As long as you do what I say, you’ll be fine,” said Dustin reassuringly. Delia was furious. Dustin was asking a complete amateur to compete against her, an intermediate physician?! This was an insult! “If you lose, you have to crawl out of here like a dog!” she demanded viciously. “Sure,” Dustin said. While everyone watched, Dustin and Dylan each took a pill. “Delia, get three grams each of graminae, red wormroot, and morning glory leaves. Grind them into powder and dissolve them in warm water. Then, let me drink it,” Dylan said. That was the type of task even an intern could do easily, let alone an intermediate grade physician. “I’ll do it right away,” Delia said confidently. “Do you know how to cure the poison, boy?” Dylan looked at Dustin in amusement Dustin just smiled and did not reply. This minor poison was nothing and
Nearby, the guests let out a round of cheers. The reunion came to a climax. “The wine already costs 800 thousand dollars, and we’re having our reunion in Majestic Hotel, too! Marco must have spent at least a million dollars on this reunion! He’s so generous!” Devina said excitedly. She desperately wanted to throw herself at Marco. During the entire reunion, the only people who kept their cool had to be Dustin and Shawna. Since Marco had brought out the renowned Ronan wine, everyone wanted a taste of it. After all, it was a luxury they would never again have the chance to savor. Smiling, Marco went to each guest and poured them a glass of wine. He felt like he was floating when he got praise and thanks from them. Soon, a lot of people had their glasses full. They tasted the wine and enjoyed it. As they did, they praised and complimented him even more. They made it sound like the wine was the nectar of the gods. It did not even matter if they were discerning wine connoisse
“Let’s go, Dustin.” Shawna did not have the patience to stay put anymore. She called for Dustin and got ready to leave. “Forget it. Please forget what happened for my sake.” Marco played the mediator when he saw that Shawna was going to leave. “We’re all ex-classmates here, so we don’t need to make things so awkward. This man only said such things because he’s drunk. Shawna, please forgive him. However, you should also control your boyfriend. If he keeps attacking people, I won’t be able to protect him.” “Aw, don’t leave, Shawna. Stay and accompany me?” Devina went over and held onto Shawna and did not let her leave. Resigned, Shawna nodded. She sat back down. Dustin was quiet when he saw that. He went to sit beside Shawna. He could only follow her lead. Meanwhile, the man Dustin had pressed to the floor was quickly pulled away by a couple of people. Although some men still had ill intentions, especially after the first of them failed, no one dared to approach Shawna
Desmond’s hurried departure with Stephanie was nothing more than a quick distraction in the reunion. Not many people noticed it. After all, Marco was the most important person at this reunion. Thus, not many people focused on what was going on with Dustin. The guests were too busy trying to suck up to Marco, so they did not have time to bother with Shawna and Dustin for the time being. Although the men were all interested in Shawna, they were in public. Plus, Dustin was there as well. Thus, they could only put aside their desires for the moment. As such, the reunion went on. After a while, some people started to get drunk. When people got drunk, they got bolder. A man came over to Dustin and Shawna with a glass of wine. He was staggering. “Shawna, it’s been a long time. Why don’t we have a drink?” the man said loudly. Shawna frowned. She wanted to ignore this drunkard. “I don’t drink,” Shawna said coolly. “How can you say that? It’s so rare for us all to meet
“Did you say Shawna’s pig farmer boyfriend is the secret boss of your company? How could that be?” Stephanie really thought that she was mistaken. She could not believe that this was true. Dustin had been mocked the second he walked into the ballroom. How could he be the boss of a huge company? Was Shawna’s boyfriend not just a useless pig farmer? How had he suddenly become the boss of a huge company? What in the world was going on? Stephanie could not figure it out. She had wanted to shame Shawna and Dustin and calling Desmond over was supposed to insult them and highlight how awesome Stephanie was in comparison to Dustin. What was going on? Stephanie was going nuts. Even so, she had an idea of what it meant to be Desmond’s boss. Dustin was worlds more superior than they were, and they did not have what it took to mock him. “Stephanie, did you say something mean to him?” Desmond’s face darkened. He was terrified that she had offended Dustin. “She didn’t say anyth
“Desmond, over here!” Stephanie waved toward a man and gestured him over. She wanted to show off her boyfriend to Shawna and Dustin. That way, she would be able to hurt Shawna and feel even superior to her. It would fulfill her fragile ego. Dustin could not help but raise an eyebrow when he saw the man walking toward them. Desmond Weaving was familiar to him. Shawna noticed Desmond as well, and her expression turned strange. She remembered when all those important people had come to visit Dustin. Some of them had brought a retinue with them, and Desmond had been one of the underlings among them. Desmond had not even dared to look up at Dustin back then. Desmond had been too nervous and had tripped before the entire gathering. Everyone laughed at him. His superior had told him off viciously and even pressured him to apologize to Dustin. Yet, Dustin had not pursued the matter. Who would have thought that they would stumble into each other here? Desmond had been happ
Everyone in the VIP ballroom looked at Dustin with even more disdain. When Dustin stood up, it had taken everyone aback. They had nearly thought that he was secretly a rich man. However, it was only a mistake. Somehow, the situation was even more laughable. “Why did you stand up when it’s not your car? Are you determined to shame us all tonight?” Devina was already in a bad mood, but it had gotten even worse. She intentionally pulled Dustin aside and made him stand at the side. She was terrified that he would embarrass them further. She did not know what was up with Dustin. What was even in his head? Did he not see how many people wanted to embarrass him at this reunion? Meanwhile, he was willingly handing everyone the chance to make fun of him. “The class president is here!” someone said suddenly. Quite a few people went up to surround Marco. A handsome young man showed up. He was smiling, and this attracted a number of women to walk up to him in admiration. With t
How laughable the whole situation was! The men all had strange looks on their faces and seemed disdainful. Meanwhile, the women basked in their satisfaction. The worse Shawna was doing in life, the happier they were. Under those mocking gazes, Shawna’s face became ever darker, but she could not be bothered to explain. “A pig farmer? That’s not bad. I heard that the price of pigs is going up a lot. This could be a way to get rich fast,” a man said half-jokingly. A wave of laughter erupted in the VIP ballroom. It was very taunting. “I told you not to come. Look, you’re embarrassing Shawna,” Devina said to Dustin. “How can you be so thick-skinned? Don’t you feel ashamed? How can you just say that you’re a high school graduate and a pig farmer? You’re really useless!” “What’s so bad about being a pig farmer? I make a living with my own hard work. That’s not embarrassing,” Dustin said with a grin. Devina’s face became even more distasteful. She really did not know how
Majestic Hotel was the most luxurious hotel in Grayvale. After Dustin and the women stepped inside, Devina looked around at everything inquisitively. This was the first time she had been to such a high-class place. She was a little excited. “They said the reunion is at the VIP ballroom. I don’t know where it is.” Devina went to ask someone about its location and led Dustin and Shawna toward the VIP ballroom. After they got there, Devina opened the door to a raging revelry, The VIP ballroom had been decorated lavishly. Most of their ex-classmates were present. For most of them, it was the first time they had been to such a fancy place. That was why they were having so much fun. “Everyone, look who’s here!” Devina said loudly. Those who heard her turned and looked. When they saw that Shawna was among those at the door, they all had different reactions. Shawna was once the campus belle, and many of the men had been interested in her. When they saw her, interest shone in
“This reunion is being organized by the class president, Marco Geurrero, so everyone’s coming.” “A reunion…” Shawna was not really interested in it. “Hey, it’s at Majestic Hotel. We’re in the VIP ballroom. Marco’s paying for everything!” Devina said cheerfully. “Majestic Hotel? What a lavish place…” Shawna was surprised. Majestic Hotel was one of the fanciest hotels in Grayvale. Most people did not have gatherings there because they could not afford it. Yet, Marco was footing the bill. How generous he was! “It’s not like you don’t know how rich Marco is. Let’s just enjoy it,” Devina said. “Oh, if only I could marry into such a rich family. It’s a shame that he’s not interested in me… “Hey, didn’t he try to woo you back in the day? But you rejected him without even thinking about it. I really don’t know what you were thinking…” Shawna did not respond. “Oh, right. Are you waiting for someone? Who?” Devina looked around. “I have a flat tire. He’s gone to the bathroo
