"Rhys! You're treading on thin ice!" Eleanor's face twisted into a menacing expression. "I'm warning you—kneel before me and beg for forgiveness! Or I'll bring in Scott Mosey, and he'll personally deal with you!"The Camron family immediately panicked at her words."Dustin! You've really messed up this time! These two are the heiresses of influential families. If you lay a finger on them, it's like poking a bear in the eye!""What are you waiting for? Get down on your knees and apologize! Otherwise, once Scott Mosey shows up, you're dead meat!""It's one thing to look for trouble, but dragging us into it? You've brought nothing but trouble to the Camron family!"As Eleanor and Elena witnessed the panic-stricken faces of the Camrons, they grew smug. So what if Dustin could throw a punch? Could he really take on the Moseys' army? Once Scott showed up, even if Dustin had some extraordinary abilities, he would only be sending himself to an early death!"What? Are you scared now
"Rhys! You've really messed up this time!"Killing Sir Mosey's godson is like stirring up a hornet's nest! No matter how big Dragonmarsh is, there is nowhere for you to hide!"Elena was clearly shocked by the turn of events. She always considered the Moseys her safety net, going out of her way to please Dahlia and Scott. Eleanor believed having their support would give her an advantage. However, she never expected Dustin actually to dare go against her main support.His action wasn't just bold; it was downright crazy!"Dead ... he's dead? Scott Mosey is actually dead?""Dustin! Do you even realize what you've done? This time, you've really messed us up!"After a moment of shock, the Camron family erupted in an uproar. They were filled with despair.With Scott dead, things had escalated. Once the Moseys started investigating it, the Camron family would be in deep trouble."One person had to the plunge. I was the one that killed Scott. I'll face the consequences," Dustin said
Dustin remained firm as he said, "I'll do whatever it takes to bring down both the Welch family and Forrest family. You'll be nothing but wreckage left!""Wreckage? What a joke!" Eleanor scoffed. "Rhys, who do you think you are? A countryside doctor challenging two major families?""Exactly! You're barely keeping your head above water, yet you're threatening us? "Let me enlighten you. I've discreetly tipped off the Moseys. Once their forces show up, there'll be no escaping for you!" Elena declared.In their eyes, Dustin was already a goner, struggling for his life."I gave you a chance, but you didn't appreciate it. Well then, don't blame me for being ruthless," Dustin stated, grabbing his phone to send out a few messages. He had already reached out to every connection he had in Oakvale, aiming to make the Forrest and Welch families pay a hefty price."Nice try!" Eleanor scoffed. "Do you really think sending a few messages can rattle us? How pathetic! I've weathered storms y
The Moseys' convoy stormed into the Camron manor, coming to a halt at the entrance.The assistant general leaped out and led a fully armed squad of soldiers. They advanced with authority."Who called us here?" With a stern expression, the assistant general scanned the memorial hall with sharp eyes."That was me! I'm Elena from the Forrest family." Elena quickly raised her hand and explained, "General, I have a strong connection with Mr. Mosey. I just witnessed someone killing him here. You need to catch the murderer quickly!""Who was the murderer?" The assistant general asked in a low voice.Word of Scott's death had quickly circulated throughout the entire Mosey family. Dustin had stormed into Jadeleaf Manor. He openly attacked Scott and severed his head. Upon learning of this, Seamus was furious and personally ordered harsh punishment for the assailant.The Moseys' forces were mobilized in no time, combing every inch of Dragonmarsh for the murderer. So, when they receive
Matteo had promised to hand over the formula just to protect his family earlier. But Eleanor had betrayed them and now caused the doom of the Camron family with just a few words. She was absolutely evil!Even in the face of pleas and rebukes from the Camron family, Eleanor remained unfazed. She nodded at the assistant general of the Moseys mansion and declared, "General, Mr. Mosey's death can't be in vain. "These suspicious people must all be captured and punished severely to set an example and establish authority."Upon hearing this, the assistant general nodded. He commanded and gestured to his men. "Men! Seize all these culprits and subject them to thorough interrogation!""Wait!" Dustin stepped forward suddenly, his tone icy. "I killed Scott, and it has nothing to do with the Camron family. I'm ready to bear all the consequences."The assistant general huffed. "You, the murderer, will naturally face severe punishment. But these accomplices won't escape either!" "If an
"Scarlet ... The Scarlet Warrior?!" The assistant general couldn't help but tremble at the sight of Scarlet. Being in the military, he was well aware of Scarlet's reputation as the one and only Goddess of War in Dragonmarsh. Her military prowess and decisive actions on the battlefield were enough to command respect from any man."Quick! Drop your weapons." After a moment of shock, the assistant general swiftly signaled his subordinates to put away their guns. He was aware of Scarlet's notorious temper. After all, pointing guns at her could easily lead to a bloodbath. They might even be accused of rebellion, facing death without a chance to put up a fight."Why is Scarlet here?" Eleanor and Elena exchanged surprised glances. Scarlet was a formidable figure that women in Oakvale knew. Not only was she powerful and noble, but she also wielded significant military influence, earning favor from the royal family.In addition, Scarlet was exceptionally beautiful. She was ranked s
Was Scarlet irritated? What was wrong with her? Even though Elena was frustrated and seething with anger, she dared not utter a word.The assistant general from the Moseys was puzzled. But he was relieved that he kept his mouth shut earlier. Otherwise, he might have gotten a few slaps."Now, listen up. I'm only saying this once." Scarlet's icy gaze swept over everyone. "Dustin is my friend, and the Camron family is our business partner. If any of you start talking nonsense, don't blame me for beating you up!""What? Friends?" The crowd gasped, utterly astonished. Who would've thought Scarlet was here because of Dustin? What kind of connections did he have to get the Goddess of War here?"My Lady, are you serious? You're friends with this loser?" Eleanor couldn't believe it. To her, Dustin was just a doctor with some fighting skills. How could he be friends with the high and mighty Spanner family?"Yes, My Lady! He's just a loser. How could you be friends with him?" Elena
Eleanor and the others left, and the tension within the Camron family finally began to ease. Matteo and the rest observed Scarlet, who maintained an impassive expression, feeling uneasy.While they were grateful for Scarlet's intervention, they couldn't quite fathom why she chose to help. In the eyes of the Camron family, who felt like mere ants compared to the towering giants of the Spanner family, they couldn't fathom why anyone would be concerned about them.Then, Scarlet offered a straightforward explanation. "Don't overthink it. I helped you all because of Dustin.""Dustin?" The Camron family's attention shifted to Dustin, their faces reflecting surprise and suspicion. Initially, Dustin was perceived as having no influence or background, merely a bold martial artist. But now, it seemed there was more to Dustin than they thought. If someone like Scarlet was willing to help him, then perhaps he wasn't as insignificant as they had presumed.In the face of everyone's surpris
