Dustin found it amusing how arrogant Florence was behaving.From her actions and attire, Dustin guessed that she must have met a benefactor who had brought her entire family to immense riches. Not only were they rich now, but they also possessed power and status.She was already rude and haughty before they were rich and powerful. Now that they were, she went from bad to worse. But Dustin wasn't surprised that she'd act this way."Hey! I'm talking to you! Do you hear me? Name your price! I'm really busy and don't have time for your games!"Florence held a gold card between her fingers, looking every part a wealthy woman."I'm afraid you won't be able to afford the price I have in mind." Dustin shook his head."We can't afford it?" Florence broke out in cackles as she shot Dustin a ridiculous look."Hey Rhys! You really look down on us, don't you? Do you know our status now? Do you know how loaded we are?"See this gold card here? The amount I have in here is enough to shock y
"You … you're shameless!" Florence was so angry her face was flushed as she gritted her teeth.She had meant to flaunt her riches. But the rascal embarrassed her in front of everyone! He was despicable!"I've stated my price. Now, you have two options. You either pay the sum I asked for or get lost!" Dustin wasn't in the mood to play nice."You're too much! You've gone overboard!" Florence was livid. Ever since her sudden rise in status, she had never experienced anything as embarrassing as this."What's going on?"A tall, lanky man who was all suited up strode over with his head held high. All the restaurant's security made way for him as soon as he arrived.The man was Lou Geek, the owner of A'roma."Lou! You're finally here!" Sue was elated when she saw him. She quickly hurried over to his side.Lou was not only her boyfriend but also her powerful backer. He had status, power, and connections. And most importantly, his connections reached both the authorities and the under
Lou's words were rude and harsh, and he showed no courtesy to Dustin.Dustin had intended to be reasonable and talk things out. But upon hearing that, his expression darkened. No wonder all the staff at A'roma were so arrogant. It was because they had such an arrogant boss!"Hey! Didn't you hear what he said? Get lost!" Sue barked."So this is how you run the place, by throwing customers out. Seems to me like you're not interested in business," Dustin said icily."It's not that we're not interested in business. We're just not interested in business from you!"Lou continued boldly, "I run the place, so what I say goes. I don't like the looks of you, so all of you better get the hell out of here within one minute, or I'll get things done my way."The crowd immediately made a big commotion when they heard that, urging Dustin to leave."Well, Rhys? The owner has made it clear that he wants you out of here. Why are you so shameless to stay?" Florence smirked as she folded her arms
Everyone who was involved in the underworld knew that the Kirin Gang was in control of the entire underworld of Millsburg. No other influences dared to go against them.So when they saw the disciples of Kirin Gang charging in, the guards were all intimidated."Whoa, I never knew that the rascal actually wielded some power." Victoria was taken aback."Hah! They're just some thugs who do not deserve our attention," Julie remarked disdainfully."Exactly! Insignificant and incapable thugs! Mr. Geek will be able to handle them easily enough." Florence acted all high and mighty.She would have been intimidated by the likes of them in the past. But now, they were nothing to her. After all, Sir Mosey's power was on an entirely different level."Sir Rhys, is something the matter?"Cornelius came running up to the second floor with their men in tow."A'roma is pushing their customers around, and I'm not happy with that. Shut the place down. This place will be closed indefinitely from now
"You want a fight?"Cornelius grinned when he saw the guards charging toward them. "Boys, you have three minutes. Go for it!""Alright!" The disciples of Kirin Gang were excited. They rubbed their fist on their palm as they went up to face them.Cornelius was the leader of Shadow Gang, and all the members were formidable figures who had escaped Azkaban. They were considered the elites even within the Kirin Gang.And now, after Dustin's vigorous training, their abilities have improved by leaps and bounds. Any one of them could easily take out a hundred opponents in one go.They would not lose out to any major guild in the martial world, much less these mediocre guards.As expected, it was immediately clear who was winning once the fight started.The disciples of Kirin Gang, who used to be from Shadow Gang, quickly crushed the guards in no time.In under three minutes, all 30 guards were sprawled on the ground. They were so badly hurt that they couldn't even move. "Trash! What
Why was Dustin so stubborn? Dahlia had spoken to him nicely and even offered to help him, but he did not appreciate it."Hmph! You've said all you can, but they insist on doing things their way. In that case, they deserve what they're about to get, Dahlia. Let them be."Florence crossed her arms over her chest as she looked at Dustin in distaste."Dahlia, you're too kind. These people are trying to steal the private room, and yet you're helping them? There's no need to be so kind to people like them." Julie shook her head."Exactly, Dahlia. Some people need to be taught a lesson to be put in their place!" Victoria exclaimed huffily."Forget it. I shall stay out of your business then." Dahlia's expression was cold as she backed off and went to take a seat in the corner.Somehow, she felt some inexplicable frustration when Dustin turned down her offer to help him. It just came on suddenly and took over her.What was going on with her? He was just a stranger that she'd met a handfu
"Pretty chick?" Lou was dumbfounded by what Vlad said.Dustin had the looks, but no matter how Lou looked at him, he could tell he was a man. So what did Vlad mean by calling him a pretty chick?Could Vlad possibly be differently inclined? Lou shuddered at the thought."Alright, alright! Who'd have guessed that I'd luck out today? There are two such pretty chicks here!"Vlad rubbed his chin with a lecherous look in his eyes. His gaze traveled between Natasha and Scarlet. One was exquisitely charming, while the other was cold and alluring.They both had looks to die for but with vastly different airs. As they sat quietly, they looked like pieces of art waiting for him to appreciate, caress, and enjoy.Compared to these two stunning beauties, the models and actresses he had been with were plain. They did not even hold a candle to these two.It was a rare enough occurrence to meet someone of their beauty, but to meet two of them at once! It was definitely a stroke of good luck for
"Hey, rascal, I'm giving you another chance. Get on your knees and beg. Also, give those two exquisite beauties behind you to me, or I'll make sure you die a terrible death!" Vlad threatened venomously.He was just a man who mooched off the women around him! How could he deserve the two bombshells? Only the powerful and prestigious like him deserved them!"And I'm also giving you your last chance. Get lost, or I'll break your legs!" Dustin warned."You've got a fucking death wish!" Vlad was all riled up and threw a punch straight at Dustin.As a son of the Grants, he could be incompetent in many aspects, but he had been forced into practicing martial arts at a young age. And for no other reason than to show off and impress girls."You overestimate yourself." Dustin scoffed. With a raise of his hand, he slapped Vlad and knocked him to the ground.For a moment, Vlad lost all sense of direction and could not even get back up."What?" Everyone was stunned by what they saw. None of t
