After Dustin fed the nine pills to Bella, she immediately reacted. Dustin had caused Bell’s insanity. He had poisoned Bella, which was why when Dylan fed her the pills, it did not work and had instead worsened her condition. Dustin mostly used the same ingredients that Dylan had, but the effects were vastly different. Bella did not spasm, but her eyes gradually regained their clarity. “Where am I? Why am I here?” She looked around in a daze. “He cured her!” the crowd exclaimed. The famous physician, Dylan, had been unable to do anything about Bella, but Dustin had managed to cure her. A top grade physician could not even compare to a young man. Dylan’s face darkened. Dustin had cured Bella. This time, even if Dylan wanted to deny it, he could not. The witnesses here had seen for themselves all that had happened. It was really hard for him to accept the fact that he had lost. Delia was stunned. When she finally pieced everything together, she looked conflicted.
“That was the bet she made herself. I didn’t force her,” Dustin said indifferently. “If she loses, then she has to fulfill the conditions of her bet. That is the rule.” Delia gritted her teeth and felt cornered. Apologizing to Dustin felt worse than death itself. Everyone was watching her, and she could not back out of the situation. She tried to appear pitiful and cast a pleading look at the crowd. Her sorrowful gaze tugged at the hearts of many. Who would bear to see such a beautiful woman humiliated? “That’s enough! Why are you getting so hung up over this with a woman? There’s no need for it,” someone said. “That’s right. A man should be generous. There’s no need to be so hung up over this. You’ll just look petty.” Delia looked pleased. She wanted to use the public to pressure Dustin and make him a target of their scorn. “If you made a bet, then you have to be willing to fulfill the condition of that bet even if you lose!” Dustin said coldly and looked at the
“Bella, don’t tell Amara about how Dustin humiliated me.” On the way back to the Wyatt family villa, Delia pleaded with Bella. “Why not? That b*stard dared to make you apologize to him! That’s even more of a reason to tell Amara. She’ll take care of him.” Bella did not understand why Delia did not want to do that. “Amara will scold me if she finds out that I apologized to Dustin!” Delia sighed. Amara was in charge of the Wyatt family’s affairs. She did not tolerate anyone staining the Wyatt family’s reputation. “That piece of trash! One day, I’ll make him beg for forgiveness. He has to repay me a thousand times over!” Delia said viciously. Bella was silent. Delia had only gone to the clinic to treat Bella’s condition. She would not have been humiliated by Dustin if it were not for that. After a moment, Bella said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Delia. I’ll get you justice for this! That awful Dustin is nothing but a dog of the Wyatt family. He’s so bold now that it’s only a
“The entire crew will be catering to you, Miss Bella. You have the last say in any decision when it comes to casting changes.” Bella’s smile grew wider. She would have the last say… Camille was dear to Dustin. Bella would make sure that she suffered. With her temper, giving Camille the role of an extra was already very merciful on her part. Ideas on how to humiliate Camille flashed through her mind. “That brat looks decent enough. But she’s deluding herself if she thinks she can be the lead!” said Bella in disdain. Suddenly, her face changed. “Delia, is the Zimmer family still on the Wyatt family’s case?” Bella asked Delia. “Yes. It’s like the Zimmer family has gone nuts. These few days, the company has been suffering great losses. If this goes on, both sides will head for mutual destruction!” Delia sighed dejectedly. The Wyatt sisters looked stormy when the incident was brought up. Amara frowned as well. The issue bothered her greatly. “I might have an idea…” Be
Jack’s eyes lit up when he heard Bella’s words. He loved beautiful women. However, he had toned down his impulses a lot after nearly causing the demise of the Zimmer family because he lusted for Simone. He had almost died during that incident. But since Bella was trying to set him up with someone, he was interested once again. “What kind of beauty? Where is she from? What’s her family background?” Jack asked warily. “Don’t worry, Mr. Zimmer. She’s nothing special. She’s just a new kid wanting a break in the acting industry. She was an extra on one of the projects I was on. Now that I’m giving her a chance, she’s eager to climb up the ladder of success,” Bella said with a smile. “Alright then. We’ll see how things go,” Jack said indifferently. He could make his own judgment. Bella wanted to use this opportunity to defuse the situation between their families, but Jack was not foolish enough to allow it blindly. As for Bella’s intention of using a woman to bait him…
“Camille, go and drink with Mr. Zimmer,” Bella said with a persuasive look. Camille gritted her teeth, raised her glass, and clinked it against Jack’s. Then, she gulped down her drink in one go. The moment she finished the wine, she felt dizzy. “Bella, I think I’m drunk…” After that, Camille slumped over the table. “Mr. Zimmer, the rest is up to you,” Bella said with a meaningful smile. Jack smiled. He immediately wanted to make a move on Camille. When he got close, his face froze. Why did this woman look so much like Simone? “What did you say her name was?” Jack frowned. “Her name is Camille… Camille Langley,” Bella said. “Does she have an older sister named Simone Langley?” Panic was evident on Jack’s face. “Oh? Have you heard of her, Mr. Zimmer?” Bella had a bad feeling about this. “Bella Wyatt!” Jack yelled. He was suddenly enraged. “You vicious, crazy woman! Are you trying to get me killed?” Angrily, he sprang up from his seat. He pointed at Bella and cur
At that moment, Bella was overwhelmed with shock and confusion. It was only Dustin… Why was Jack so terrified? “This has nothing to do with me! Bella arranged all of it. She called me here! I didn’t know a thing! She was the one who drugged Simone’s sister!” Jack was terrified, and he kept bowing as he explained everything to Dustin. Bella was furious at the sight. “Stop begging!” she snapped. “Jack Zimmer, you’re still the heir of the Zimmer family. It’s unbecoming of you to beg the discarded outcast of the Wyatt family!” Bella’s disdain was palpable. She was appalled that she had respected Jack enough as an opponent to try and buy him over with a woman. “Jack, you’re spineless!” Bella said coldly. Jack froze and glared at Bella. “Bella, you stupid woman!” he cried angrily. “You don’t even know the kind of person you’ve provoked!” Bella laughed when she heard that. She looked at Dustin in disgust. “He’s just a useless servant we kicked out of the Wyatt family.
“You act tough and ruthless, Dustin, but you’re still terrified of the Wyatt family!” Bella’s voice got louder and louder. “Maybe it’s because my father has some hold over you, or maybe it’s because you know the hidden power of the Wyatt family, you’re afraid of all of us, so you don’t dare to take real action against anyone! What’s wrong? Did I hit a nerve?“You’re nothing but a coward!” Bella laughed loudly. She looked very satisfied with herself as though she had seen through Dustin entirely. Dustin’s face darkened. It seemed that by sealing her memories about what had happened with the Verdant Gang, he had made her arrogant and delusional. Did she not know that Shadow One and Shadow Two were already dead? Rage surged in Dustin’s heart. It was true that he had been holding back for the sake of his adoptive father’s kindness toward him. That was why he did not harm the Wyatt sisters despite his rage. He did not expect his consideration of their family would delude Bell
Irene had assumed that Dustin would be like the other men. She thought he was only standing up for her because he was drawn by her beauty. She also assumed that he would get beaten up like the others. But she was wrong. Dustin had not intervened because he was drawn to her. He had killed Trevor. For a moment, everyone in the jazz club was stumped. No one dared to offend Trevor, who was the third son of the Aquila family of Lannopolis. Yet, Dustin had killed him in just one strike. He was unimaginably brash! Ignoring the shock of those around him, Dustin turned and walked toward the jazz club’s exit. He did not even spare Irene a glance. “Hold it right there!” “Do you think you can just leave after killing Trevor?” Trevor’s underlings could not just stand by and watch as Dustin left. They moved forward to stop him. Dustin did not waste his breath. His gaze turned sharp as he made a small movement. The person who had dared to stop him was dead. After that,
“What kind of disgraceful behavior is this, Irene?” the man asked with a frown. “Don’t forget that you will be a member of the Aquila family soon. How dare you act this way?” Irene looked at the man indifferently. Hatred flashed in her eyes for a second before it disappeared. “Oh, give up, Trevor Aquila. I will never marry you. I will never become a member of the Aquila family!” she hissed icily. “Your marriage is arranged by your family. With the way things are with the West family, do you really think you can refuse this arrangement? It’s better that you behave and come with me to the Aquila family and wait quietly for the wedding,” Trevor said with an icy smile. Irene’s pretty face grew livid with anger. “Get lost!” she shouted. Trevor was enraged by her words. “You want to do this the hard way, huh? Alright then. Drag her back home!” he ordered. “Do you think you can drag a woman away against her will in public?” One of the men in the bar immediately stepped forwa
The Aquila family was one of the most powerful families of Lannopolis. At this moment, Brennan Aquila, the patriarch of the Aquila family was frowning and sitting in his usual seat. “Is there no news?” he asked the servant before him. “Sir, we’ve searched the entirety of Rivenesco, but we couldn’t locate Devon. We’ve also inquired with the Panther Gang and checked the Langley family’s main villa in Rivenesco, but we found nothing,” the servant said. When he heard that, Brennan looked even more troubled. His second son, Devon, had taken along some people from the Panther Gang to Rivenesco a few days ago. He had wanted to seek revenge but had then disappeared. “Investigate more! Use more drastic measures if you need to!” he shouted. “There’s no need to investigate any further,” said a woman’s voice from beyond the room. A beautiful, elegant young woman walked into the Aquila family’s living room. “Who are you?” Brennan asked. “Bianca Winter of the Seven Clans of
“This is entirely the Langley family’s fault that we underestimated you! We were prideful and blind…” Margot said solemnly. “Please forgive us, My Liege!” At this point, Margot could do nothing but admit her mistakes. With a word, the King of Hades could wipe the Langley family from the face of the earth without so much as a noise. Dustin did not bother to respond. “Fine. Invite Simone and her family here immediately. I think you know what to do now, right?” he said coldly. “Yes, I do. I won’t let you down, My Liege!” Margot said quickly. She sent someone to invite Simone and her family here. Soon, Simone’s family arrived in the living room. They looked a little stunned. By that time, the members of the Panther Gang were all gone and the place had been cleaned up. It was as if nothing had happened here. “What happened to you?” Simone looked confused. She saw how strangely the members of the Langley family were behaving. “Uncle Derek, why are you trembling?” She
“The Panther Gang will serve the King of Hades!” Blake declared loudly as he knelt on the floor. The members of the Langley family and those of the Panther Gang stared in shock. A minute ago, Blake seemed very intimidating and intent on seeking justice. They were taken aback by his abrupt change in attitude. “The King of Hades… The master of Hell Hall! The King of Hades!” Margot gasped so hard she nearly fainted. The members of the Langley family were so terrified that their faces turned ghostly pale. There was no one on earth who did not fear the might of Hell Hall. Some of the people in the living room were shaking in fright. In the past, they all thought that Dustin was a nobody, so they treated him like trash. When they thought about how their family had tried to kill the King of Hades, the members of the Langley family felt horrified. Dustin glanced at the man kneeling on the floor, and his face looked taunting. “Your sister is the wife of the head of the A
Dustin had not said anything about the numerous Panther Gang corpses on the floor. No one had dared to clear them away. In the middle of all the mess was Devon’s headless body. When Blake recognized the corpse, his eyes widened in fury. He looked at Dustin without bothering to hide his desire for revenge. “Who are you? Where did you come from? Are you with the law or something else?” Blake did not make a move immediately. Instead, he demanded answers from Dustin. When he received the report from one of his branch leaders, he realized that Dustin was not someone to be messed with. That was why he was questioning Dustin first. Dustin looked at Blake, and his gaze froze the gang leader in place. “Back in the day, the Aquila family only started growing after participating in a campaign to destroy the Fox family of Grayvale. Did the Panther Gang have a hand in that campaign?” Dustin asked. His gaze was focused on Blake. If he admitted his involvement, he would be dead. “T
The three branch leaders of the Panther Gang were stony-faced. One of them said coldly, “Arrogant punk!” Dustin had cut off Devon’s head and was demanding Blake Torell, Blake, to come here to see him. None of them had ever encountered anyone who was so brazen in Rivenesco. “We won’t dare to return to the head of our gang without your head as a trophy!” The branch leaders were aggressive while their crowd of gang members outside were preparing to rush in. Dustin looked annoyed as he waved a hand. One of the Hell Guards made his move. He was like a shadow as he shot through the door. Thereafter, the two leaders’ eyes widened in horror. Blood gushed from their throats as they fell. The remaining branch leader was shaken. She shuddered. Dustin’s subordinate had killed them as easily as breathing. The members of the Panther Gang who had been preparing to rush inside froze. They stood outside motionless. The members of the Langley family were shocked. The branch leader
The might of the Panther Gang was unquestionable. They were not a small gang made up of scattered, ragtag individuals. They were a group of true, formidable forces of the underground in Honora! When did the members of the Panther Gang become so weak? “You… Where do these underlings of yours come from?” Devon said with gritted teeth as he stared at the Hell Guards with his mouth wide open. “Just a few lackeys I trained,” Dustin said flatly. “Anyway, what were you saying just a moment ago? You’re the nephew of the head of the Panther Gang? Why don’t you call everyone here? Get them in here all at once. Makes it easier to kill them in one go.” Devon was stunned. His entire army was being undermined. “Don’t get cocky! These are only the Panther Gang’s weakest members. There are more than a hundred people outside. No matter how powerful your people are, do you think they can beat a hundred men?” Devon asked viciously. “Hmph! Back in the day, the Aquila family even dared t
The Langley family thought that the police had arrived. One of them immediately got up to welcome them. Dustin did not make his Hell Guards stop that person. “Mr. Aquila!” When the person appeared at the doorway, he let out a shocked cry. The person who had come to the villa was not the police. It was the person that Dustin had almost beaten to death a few days ago. It was Devon Aquila. With his men, Devon stormed into the villa in fury. A few days ago, Devon had suffered greatly here. Not only had he failed to meet Simone but also had one of his arms broken in this place. As the second son of the prominent Aquila family, how could he just let that insult slide? After recuperating for a few days, he took his men to Rivenesco despite still being far from full recovery. When he got a lead on Dustin, he immediately rushed to the Langley family’s main villa. “Mr. Aquila, you got here right on time!” Margot looked overjoyed when she saw Devon here with so many people. “
