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
Scarlet nodded. "Seamus has plenty of adopted sons and daughters. Losing one or two won't bother him. I'll handle it personally. If they put up a fight, we're not afraid to go to war."She never accepted Anders to be called the God of War. If there were an opportunity, she'd be more than willing to have a showdown to prove who was truly stronger."And those two big-shot families, the Welch and Forrest families, acting all high and mighty. They really need a reality check," Dustin remarked casually."That's easy. Just dig up their family's dark history, expose them, and send them to prison. No need for elaborate plans," she replied.For the Spanner family, it was easy to take down the Welch and Forrest family. There was no need for intricate schemes. A simple command could make them pay for what they had done.This stark difference between the great families and ancient houses showcased the hierarchy. Even though the great families were incredibly wealthy, their riches and status
The sudden, furious outburst left Elena in shock. Holding the phone, she looked bewildered and asked, "Dad, what's happening? Is something wrong back home?"Her father's voice roared from the other end, "You got the nerve to ask? It's all because of the mess you've stirred up!"Just now, the authorities sent in a bunch of troops. They not only locked down all our assets but also arrested most of our key members! "Now, the entire Forrest family is on the edge. If this keeps up, I might even end up behind bars!""What? How could this happen? Our family business is thriving, and we have extensive connections. Who could seize our family assets?" Elena widened her eyes in disbelief. The Forrest family business had been thriving. With the extensive network connections, any issues could usually be resolved easily. It never escalated into such a dire situation."What the heck have you done? Do you have any idea what's going on? Someone is dead set on putting you behind bars. "You t
