"What? Three minutes?" Upon hearing that, Abigail was dumbfounded.Didn't he say it took ordinary martial artists a year or more to achieve the basic level? Even she, a once-in-a-century genius, took a day to cultivate her internal energy. To achieve it in a day was already worthy of being called a prodigy. Yet Dustin achieved it in three minutes? What should she call him?A monster?A freak?At this moment, she felt deeply shocked. Her earlier bit of pride evaporated into thin air."Are you... kidding me?" Abigail couldn't accept it. "Why would I lie to you? I gain nothing from it." Dustin shrugged and said calmly, "Besides, it's just talent. It doesn't represent strength. This world is never lacking in geniuses. The path of martial arts is arduous and long. To become a true powerhouse, both talent and effort are indispensable.""I understand! I'll work hard and catch up to you soon!" Abigail clenched her fist. Then she decisively ran upstairs and began her intense training.
"The gold is indeed tempting, but I don't like it. So I can't accept the conditions you just mentioned." Dustin shook his head."If you don't like gold, then name your price," Hector raised his chin."Mr. Harmon, forgive me for speaking frankly, but Natasha should decide her marriage herself. As her parent, you shouldn't forcefully interfere with such matters," Dustin said."What?" Hector frowned. "Are you teaching me how to do things?""I'm just speaking the truth." Dustin remained composed. "As parents, shouldn't you want your children's marriages to be happy?" "Hmph! What do you even know?" At this moment, Jessica couldn't hold back any longer. "Do you know who Natasha's fiancé is? He is Tyler Grant, a natural-born genius and the future rising star of the Dragonmarsh! Only by marrying him can Natasha have a good future!" "That should be up to Natasha to decide. If she doesn't want to marry him, you can't force her," Dustin argued reasonably."Are you implying a challenge
"Natasha is engaged to Tyler Grant?"As Dustin watched the departing vehicle, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Clearly, this was a strategic alliance between two prominent families, and Natasha was the sacrificial pawn in this alliance. Born into a prestigious family, she enjoyed wealth and luxury but lost her freedom. At certain moments, she even had to make sacrifices for the sake of their family's interests. Of course, Dustin would never allow such a thing to happen. With that in mind, he took out his phone and dialed a particular number. "Hello, Nelson. Help me investigate someone.""No problem. May I ask who you want me to investigate, Sir Rhys?" Nelson asked."Tyler Grant.""Tyler Grant?" Nelson raised his voice upon hearing Dustin's words. "Sir Rhys, why do you want to investigate him?""Of course, to deal with him. Do you think I'm inviting him out for a meal?" Dustin replied impatiently."What?" Nelson froze in place, his voice trembling. "Sir Rhys, please don't
"Stop talking nonsense!" Autumn glared at him. "Uncle, I have a healing pill here. Shall we let Grandfather try it?" Patrick suddenly stepped forward from the crowd, holding a Gemiphen. He wouldn't take such a risk if his grandfather's condition weren't critical."A healing pill?" Torben furrowed his brow. "This thing looks suspicious. Where did you get it from?""A friend gave it to me," Patrick answered truthfully. "Hah! Your friends? They're a bunch of useless people." Torben sneered. "Take that pill away quickly, and stop embarrassing yourself here.""Grandfather's condition is not looking good right now. I want to give it a try. What if it actually works?" Patrick insisted. "I said it's not going to work! Take it away!" Torben slapped the Gemiphen out of Patrick's hand. "You—" Patrick frowned."What? You got a problem? Should we settle it with a fight?" Torben clenched his fist, displaying his robust muscles. Patrick was known to be a weakling in their family. Torben c
Looking at the crushed Gemiphen, Nicholas was heartbroken and furious. He didn't care about his image anymore and immediately threw himself to the ground, collecting the powder bit by bit.It left everyone dumbfounded. Was it necessary to make such a fuss over a broken pill?"Mr. Turner, what's going on?" Spring was perplexed. People from Stoneray Valley were usually proud and arrogant. They had never lost their composure like that. "What's going on? How dare you ask me such a question?" Nicholas angrily retorted, "How can you destroy a panacea? This is a very rare pill. Such a waste! Who is the idiot who did this?!""Mr. Turner, are you mistaken? How could this black, broken thing be a panacea?" Torben looked skeptical. "You're such a fool!" Nicholas stared at him like he was an idiot. "What you call a broken thing is the Golden Crow Pill, a holy medicine for healing! It specializes in treating various internal injuries and chronic ailments. Your grandfather's life could have b
Patrick's face darkened. "Dustin is my friend. I can vouch for him. If there's any problem, I'll take full responsibility!" "Hey! What are you all dawdling for? Come in quickly!" Seeing the group standing at the doorway, Spring urged them from inside the room. "Hmph! Kid, you better not play any tricks. I'll be watching you closely!" Torben warned before stepping aside. "Dustin, don't bother with him. Please come in," Patrick said, not wanting to waste any more time. He quickly led Dustin to the bedside. "Young guy, I heard you have the Gemiphen?" Nicholas spoke first. His eager demeanor was like that of a person who had starved for three days and finally saw a delicious feast."I do have it, but not many. They were all passed down through my ancestors," Dustin replied. He could tell from the emblem on their clothes that they were from the Stoneray Valley. To avoid trouble, he could only give such an answer. "So it's an ancestral elixir? Young guy, how many pills do you have
"What?" Torben was stunned. Holding his face, he felt confused. Shouldn't they be reprimanding Dustin at this moment? Why did his uncle slap him instead?"You useless fool! Get the hell out if you can't speak properly!" Spring's face was stern. He was clearly angry.It was supposed to be a situation where they didn't have to spend any money, but this idiot had managed to raise the price of a pill to 300 million. Dustin would probably ask for even more if they let him continue. Why punish him instead of this damned guy?"Spring, you've gone too far." Autumn frowned. Of course, he wasn't happy about his son getting slapped."You shut up too!" Spring turned around and glowered. "Father's life is hanging by a thread, and we urgently need the medicine to save him. Yet you people are still here arguing. If something happens to Father, can you afford the responsibility?" Hearing that, the father and son exchanged glances and dared not say another word.The Hill family was known for
"Oh, by the way, don't remove the silver needles from the patient's body for another three hours. That's all. Now, you can pay up."After a series of instructions, Dustin directly asked for payment. He had come to treat Paul as a favor to Patrick, but he still expected to be compensated for his services. He didn't want to make the trip for nothing. "The matter of payment is not an issue, but we need to confirm my father's condition first." Spring signaled to Nicholas with his eyes.Nicholas quickly approached and checked Paul's pulse. Instantly, his eyes widened."How is he? Is there something wrong with my father?" Everyone felt anxious upon seeing this."No, no, no ... Mr. Hill's pulse is very calm, and most of the stagnant blood in his body has been removed. The broken meridians were also remarkably repaired. It's truly amazing!" Nicholas exclaimed with delight. The combined effects of the Gemiphen and the miraculous acupuncture technique produced such astonishing results.
