Chapter 1271
Author: Marina Vittori
All the Harmons were stupefied. Andrew's words had shocked them.

None of them had expected that the well-dressed old man was actually the noble Duke of Lachshire!

In the five peerage rankings, namely duke, marquess, earl, viscount, and baron, the dukes were ranked first. They were of the highest ranking of nobilities and were above everyone else.

Their influence exceeded even that of first-ranking ministers. They were the definition of authority!

The Grants had become the leader of the Tremendous Three in Millsburg just because Arthur was an earl. The Harmons dared not even think how much power a duke possessed.

But the question was, why would a duke show up at the Harmon family residence? Who among them got such an influential person to come here personally?

"What are all of you doing just standing there? Quick! Bow to His Lordship!"

Andrew turned to shout at the rest of them. He was so anxious that he was sweating all over.

The old man before them wasn't just anyone. He was

    "But what will happen to the Harmon family once I'm gone?" Natasha turned to look behind her. Her father had just passed away, and the family was on the verge of breaking apart. She'd feel bad to just walk away like that."They are them, and you are you. Why do you put unnecessary burdens on yourself? "All I want is for you to lead a happy and blissful life. Nothing else matters," Simon said."But …" Natasha was in a dilemma.She had lived with the Harmons for so many years. How could she just abandon them and leave without a care?"Fine, if you're so torn, I'll help the Harmons out just this once," Simon said earnestly. "If you promise to return with me to Oakvale, I guarantee the Harmon family will return to its former glory within a year. "In three years, I'll make the Harmon family better than it ever was and replace the Grants as the new leader of the Tremendous Three. How's that?"Chaos broke out among the Harmons as they were overjoyed to hear that.To have their f

    Over in a meeting room at Zephyr Lodge.Cornelius said to Natasha apologetically, "I'm sorry, Ms. Harmon, you're one step behind. Sir Rhys has left Millsburg.""Left? Where did he leave for? When did he leave?" Natasha was full of questions."Sir Rhys left for Oakvale this morning. He said he had some things to deal with there but never gave us any details. Oh, right!"Cornelius recalled something, took out a letter, and handed it to Natasha with both hands. "Ms. Harmon, here's a letter Sir Rhys left for you. Before he left, he ordered me to hand you this letter if you ever come. He said you'll understand once you read this.""A letter?" Natasha took the envelope and opened it. It had a lengthy letter inside.The general content of the letter was Dustin telling Natasha that he had something important he needed to handle and would be there for some time before he returned. He also reminded Natasha to take good care of herself. He mentioned that he didn't want Natasha to worry

    Dustin slowly raised his head. That caught his interest.The information that Eloise gave him was that Cinna was in Harmony Healers. And Harmony Healers belonged to Brooke Busch.He had been the one who had saved Cinna and kept him hidden away from pursuers back then. For the ten years that Cinna was unconscious, Brooke had been the one taking care of him."Know him? I don't mean to brag, but Brooke and I are tight. He often rides in my cab."If you're getting medical treatment from him, just tell him that you're a friend of mine. I guarantee he'll give you a discount!" the bald driver said confidently."Is that so? What's he like?" Dustin asked."Brooke's character is flawless. He's the incarnation of Florence Nightingale!"The bald driver gave a thumbs-up as he continued praising Brooke. "He basically treats the poor for free and doesn't even charge them for the medications."Even if he does, he just charges them at an unbelievably cheap price. Kind and generous doctors like

    "Doctor! Where the fuck are the doctors?"The bodyguards clamored fiercely, scaring the patients in the medical center. They quickly got out of the way for fear of getting into trouble."What happened?" Several of the doctors from Harmony Healers went up to them."Move aside! I'll handle it!" Caldwell pushed the doctors aside and stepped forward voluntarily. "Is this Ms. Eleanor Welch from the Welch family?" he asked tentatively."If you know who she is, why aren't you saving her yet?" the lead bodyguard pressured."I'm on it!" A look of glee flashed on Caldwell's face for a fraction of a second. It was as though he had got his hands on a treasure.The Welch family was one of Oakvale's eight great families. They were filthy rich and extremely powerful. As a daughter of the Welch family, Eleanor Welch was known to be both rich and pretty.This was Caldwell's chance to play the hero and save the damsel in distress. He wasn't ready to pass up on such a chance! If he managed t

    "I'm just offering you some advice because the patient will die if you use the wrong method. And if that happens, you'll regret not listening to me," Dustin said "Hah! That's rubbish!" Caldwell snapped rudely. "Dr. Busch personally taught me this method to save patients. It has worked every single time without fail! Do you think that you're better than Dr. Busch?""There is no hard and fast way to save a patient. You must consider the situation before using a certain method. You must be adaptable," Dustin reminded him."Shut up! One more word from you, and I'll throw you out!" Caldwell's embarrassment fueled the anger within him.He was Dr. Busch's star apprentice who would be in charge of running Harmony Healers in the future! How dare a nobody tell him what to do? He thought too highly of himself!"Well, have it your way then." Dustin shook his head, saying nothing more. "Cut the crap! Save her!" the head bodyguard urged.Caldwell suppressed the anger within him and bega

    "Wait a second!" Caldwell suddenly came back to his senses. He quickly exclaimed, "You can't seriously believe what this brat is saying, can you? He's not even from Harmony Healers! Don't be fooled!""Fooled?" The head bodyguard looked Dustin up and down before he frowned and asked, "You're not a doctor?""I'm not a doctor from Harmony Healers, but I do have some medical knowledge," Dustin told him honestly. He had nothing to hide."Hmph! If Harmony Healers can't save her, what makes you think you can?" Caldwell snarled."Just because you can't doesn't mean I can't too. As I told you, you were using the wrong method," Dustin said calmly."Rubbish! I'm Dr. Busch's star apprentice! Who are you to compare yourself to me?" Caldwell fumed in frustration."I don't want to waste time with you. Move aside. Don't distract me from saving the patient," Dustin said impatiently.He really couldn't understand what was going on inside Caldwell's head. Was he trying to stop Dustin from saving

    Dustin waved his hand to signal everyone to move back so there would be enough space."Support her!" Dustin ordered the head bodyguard to hold Eleanor up.He then used his finger to pry open her mouth and held onto her tongue as he pulled out a small part. As he did that, he activated his internal energy and gave Eleanor a sudden smack on her back.It was a loud slap. Eleanor's body suddenly trembled, and her head lifted upward as she started regurgitating a large amount of water with a loud noise. As everyone took a closer look, they realized that there was a fish in her vomit!"My goodness! Why would there be a fish in Ms. Welch's mouth?""Was this fish stuck in her throat? Was this why she couldn't breathe?""No wonder Dr. Quinn's method didn't work. A fish was stuck in her throat. Such bad luck!"The onlookers were shocked to see the tiny fish on the ground as they whispered among themselves. The cause behind Ms. Welch's suffocation was finally revealed."H—how could this

    "Ugh…" Eleanor sat up right away and let out a breathless groan. After that, she started heaving as if she had just been given a second chance at life, greedily taking in the air around her. Her pale face gradually took on a rosy color.This sudden turn of events shocked everyone. No one thought Ms. Welch, who was dead, would suddenly come alive."She's … awake? Is she a zombie?""My goodness! Did he revive the dead? Is this for real?""Miracle doctor! He's a miracle doctor!"The onlookers looked at each other in surprise. They had never witnessed anything like this, even if they had seen and heard it all.Eleanor was already dead. She was no longer breathing, and her heart had already stopped beating. But Eleanor came back to life after Dustin gave her three jabs. They had never heard of a miracle like this. Right then, everyone looked at Dustin with a different perspective."It—it's impossible!""She was already dead! How did he revive her?" Caldwell was shocked to the

    "Let me correct you," Dustin said.As his hand slowly tightened into a fist, a white longsword formed from his true energy. "In Dragonmarsh, there is no 'God. ' We only have the Lord of the Dead."The moment the words left his mouth, a tempest of sword aura exploded outward. Within a radius of several dozen yards, the winds howled, sand and stones were sent flying, and the waves along the shore grew even more violent."Such overwhelming pressure. That sword aura is insane. Is this Logan's actual strength?"Feeling the surge of energy, Warrick and the others couldn't help but turn pale. It was then they realized that Dustin hadn't been fighting seriously before. Or perhaps, with their strength, they hadn't even earned the right to make him fight for real. They figured only someone of Poseidon's caliber could force Dustin to go all out."Interesting… truly fascinating." Poseidon suddenly laughed. "I thought you were just a pup, but it turns out you're a hungry wolf. Now, this is s

    Poseidon hovered in the air with his trident in one hand and radiated a commanding presence. He stood like a god, and his figure was so intimidating that it struck fear into those who beheld him.With a wave of his hand, an invisible energy struck Warrick and expelled the three silver needles from his body. Feeling sensation returned to his limbs, Warrick's face lit up. He quickly rose to his feet and clenched his fist to his chest in salute."Thank you, Lord Poseidon, for saving me. I will never forget this kindness!" he said."No need for formalities, Sir Prescott. Now that you've pledged yourself to the Hall of Gods, it's only natural that I ensure your safety," Poseidon replied with a faint smile as he descended gracefully."Your timely arrival was a blessing," Warrick said as he bowed his head slightly in deference. "Otherwise, we would have perished tonight."The Hall of Gods' royal gods were figures he could only look up to. Everything about Poseidon, from his power to hi

    Mulder knew Warrick had been on the battlefield for years, and his physical strength was unmatched. On top of that, he was already halfway to becoming an ultimate grandmaster. Even if Warrick couldn't defeat the prodigious Logan, Mulder figured the difference wouldn't be too big. But he never expected Logan to take down Warrick with a single finger, leaving him severely injured and unable to stand. The difference in their strength was far beyond anything Mulder could have imagined.In other words, Logan had been toying with them from the start and didn't take the fight seriously. If he had, they would've all been dead.Warrick clutched his chest and coughed up blood as he staggered to his feet. His chest was a charred ruin, the flesh torn open and slick with blood. It was an awful, gory mess."I didn't expect you to be this strong. I underestimated you," he growled.He slowly raised his head, and his face twisted with a menacing look. "Guess I was just unlucky to fall into your

    "Oh? You guessed it?" Dustin smirked. "Now that you know who I am, it's up to you to decide what to do."If Warrick chose to surrender, Dustin would simply seal his pressure points and leave him to Austin's judgment. But if he resisted, Dustin wouldn't hesitate to cripple him."Haven't you given up your title as the prince? Why did you return? Are you going to compete with Austin for the throne?" Warrick asked.Uncertainty flickered across his face before he continued, "If that's your intention, I can help you. Spare me today, and I guarantee you'll become the next Prince of West Lucozia."Power was a tempting beast. History was filled with stories of brothers turning against each other and fathers murdering their sons for it.In Warrick's mind, Logan's quiet return to West Lucozia meant one thing—he was after the throne."Guarantee?" Dustin scoffed. "What guarantee are you offering?" His voice was dripping with disdain. "You're a cornered rat now. You're barely holding on to you

    "Warrick's blade technique is terrifying," Mulder mumbled. "This should be the finishing blow, right?"Watching from a distance, he was awestruck by the dazzling blade aura. Only now did he truly grasp the sheer gulf between Warrick and Dustin.Warrick's strike descended with such overwhelming force that it seemed to split the earth and obliterate everything in its path. Even from 300 feet away, the pressure rolling off it sent a chill down Mulder's spine.Under Mulder's stunned gaze, Warrick brought his full weight down, with blade and body merging into a single force that swallowed Dustin whole.The instant they clashed, an incandescent explosion of light erupted. It was so blinding that Mulder couldn't even open his eyes.A split second later, a deafening blast erupted, and a shockwave shot outward like a tidal surge. The force flattened the waves and overturned several fishing boats docked at the pier.Even Mulder, more than 300 feet away, was caught in the blast and tumbled

    "So what if I am? And what if I push even further?" Dustin's smile slowly faded. "If you don't like it, do something about it."There was no reasoning with tyrants like Warrick."Punk, are you really willing to risk your life against me? Have you ever considered what happens if you lose?" Warrick's face turned grim as a wave of killing intent spread from him.He had already taken a step back to avoid unnecessary trouble. If Dustin refused to back down, there was no choice but to fight."Cut the crap. You wanna fight, fight." Dustin didn't bother with more words. With a flick of his wrist, a silver needle shot out and aimed toward Warrick's forehead—silent, unassuming, but deadly."Hmm?" Warrick's brow furrowed as he instinctively raised his arm. Sparks flew as the needle deflected off his arm and buried into the ground."Oh? You've mastered the Adamantine Body Technique?" Dustin narrowed his eyes. At that instant, he saw through Warrick's technique. Not only was he halfway

    Mulder's body trembled, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. His energy drained, and his entire being seemed to collapse.Dustin's finger flick had not only shattered his sword but also injured his internal organs. With the effects of the enhanced serum wearing off, Mulder was now back to his original state and completely spent.His once-powerful frame now shrank like a punctured balloon. He looked as if he had aged ten years in an instant. Mulder could no longer fight. Even standing up was a challenge."He's finished," Dustin said coolly, then looked at Warrick. "Now it's your turn.""Hmm?" Warrick frowned, and his expression turned serious.Dustin's display of strength earlier had made him feel a sense of crisis. If they fought head-on, there was no telling who would come out on top.But Warrick was just one step away from escaping West Lucozia, bound for Artea and a life of freedom and luxury. He had no intention of risking his life in battle unless he absolutely

    "This is interesting." Dustin smirked as the dense barrage of swords came slashing down at him. In the blink of an eye, his figure dissolved into a wisp of smoke and vanished.A storm of sword shadows carrying the force that could split rivers and overturn seas crashed down on the fishing boat where he had just been standing. The entire vessel broke apart in an instant—some sinking into the depths while others drifted across the water."What? He dodged it?" Warrick's eyes flickered with surprise.Mulder's attack just now had been a 360-degree attack. Once caught in its range, there was no chance to dodge—only the option to endure. He couldn't understand how Dustin had managed to avoid it. Did he just teleport?"Hiding like a coward? What kind of warrior are you? Come fight me face-to-face."Frustrated after his attack missed again, Mulder grew desperate. His enhanced serum would only last for 15 minutes. If this dragged on, he'd collapse from exhaustion before Dustin even touche

    "Oh? Are we going all out now?" Dustin smirked, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.Mulder, who had advanced to become a grandmaster martial artist through drugs, had a weak foundation. Even after taking the enhanced serum, he still posed no threat to Dustin. If Mulder were a hundred times stronger, he might just barely be able to fight Dustin.As the serum's effects pushed his body to the limit, Mulder suddenly let out a furious roar. His muscles swelled rapidly, and his bones cracked as they expanded. His body grew larger at an alarming rate, and his clothes tore apart under the strain.His six-foot frame stretched to nearly seven feet in mere moments as his body swelled to monstrous proportions. His face twisted fiercely, and his skin darkened as black scales surfaced.With another guttural growl, his roar turned beastlike. He grabbed his shredded shirt and ripped it away, exposing his broad chest covered in dark scales. A faint, eerie sheen flickered across their surface."D
