With the distance closing in and only a few meters left between both parties, Dustin's knees bent slightly before he stepped forcefully onto the ground. He propelled forward like a rocket, following an explosion-like noise that left a crater in its wake. What was left behind in his path were groans and splattered blood.Protected by his energy sphere, the elite guards were sent flying before they could even touch him. Some suffered broken limbs, while others died instantly. No one could put up a fight against him. Dustin was like a fierce tiger preying upon a flock of sheep—unstoppable and invincible. Within a few minutes, half of the hundreds of elite guards had collapsed to the ground."Damn it, this punk has skills!" Torben frowned as he watched Dustin go on his rampage. The Hill family's elite guards were the cream of the crop. It was a sight to see them fall one after the other. "Young Mr. Hill, if my observation serves me right, that guy should be a divine-level martial artis
Dustin looked around him and found himself completely surrounded. What greeted him was a dense crowd of the Hill family's elite. He noticed a few familiar faces among the crowd, including Autumn and Patrick, who stood out especially. "Dustin?" Upon arriving at the scene, Patrick was stunned, appearing greatly astonished. He had first thought it was someone who didn't know any better when he heard the news. He didn't expect that person to be Dustin. Autumn's expression turned dark when he recognized the person. "You brat! So it's you! That's some courage you've got! How dare you hurt my son? Release him immediately!""Release him!" "Release him now!"The elite members of the Hill family began clamoring, each one of them glowering with a murderous look on their faces. When he saw reinforcements arriving, the previously flustered Torben straightened his posture and arrogantly declared, "Hey, punk, weren't you being arrogant earlier? Why are you silent now? You aren't frighte
Torben's pain increased immensely, and he let out miserable screams."You despicable bastard! There is no animosity between us. Why did you stoop to such heinous acts!" After screaming, Autumn gradually regained his composure. However, the murderous look in his eyes only intensified. "No animosity? Why don't you ask your son what he's done?" Dustin finally looked up. "No matter what my son did, that's not an excuse for you to assault someone here!" Autumn declared fiercely. "All of you truly have the same corrupt principles. Since you can't be reasoned with, don't blame me for resorting to violence." Dustin impassively declared, "I'm giving you three days to prepare. In three days, I want to see your son apologize to the victim. Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences!""Kid, did you think you could leave safely after injuring someone here? Do you think we are at a public playground?" Autumn's rage was boiling."If I want to stay, nobody can make me leave. If I want to leave,
Three resounding tolls of bells echoed throughout the Hill family residence. This prompted a large number of key family members to swiftly gather at the meeting hall. The Hill family had a clear rule that if warning bells were sounded, it meant a major incident had occurred within the family. No matter where they were or what they were up to, they were required to head immediately to the meeting hall. "Autumn, what the hell are you doing? Who permitted you to ring the bell?" Spring had arrived with a few of his aides and strode into the meeting hall. He noticed that most of the key family members were already gathered. The family members were drawn to the meeting hall by the sound of the bell, not yet knowing what had transpired. Since the Hill family residence was enormous, surrounding an entire mountain, those residing behind the mountains didn't hear the commotion at the front gates.Autumn's expression was gloomy. "Spring! Someone had gone on a killing rampage at our resid
At that moment, many of them agreed. On a normal day, no one would dare cause a scene with them, as they were usually the bullies. Even if they were in the wrong, it didn't matter to them. Whoever was the better fighter would be the superior party."What do you plan on doing?" Spring narrowed his eyes, seemingly upset."I want to deploy the shadow guards and turn that kid into minced meat!" Autumn was seething in anger."Nonsense!" Spring shot up as he slammed the table. "The shadow guards are the foundation of our family. How can you just mobilize them like that? "I don't care! I'm getting revenge! If you don't agree, I'm asking Father!" Autumn was stubborn."Who's looking for me?" At that moment, an elderly man with a white beard and white brows slowly walked out. His hands were behind his back, and he looked calm. Even though he didn't give off a powerful air, his every step and move exuded a subtle sense of authority. "Sir Paul!"Paul's appearance had everyone on their fee
The next morning, in a ward at Pinevale Hospital, Edmund's serious condition finally turned for the better. He laid on the hospital bed, sleeping peacefully, with Abigail keeping watch beside him. Even though the father-daughter duo didn't get along well on a typical day, Abigail cared for him the most when a serious matter arose. She had been busy the entire night and hadn't gotten any sleep. "Kid, eat something." At that moment, Dustin walked in with breakfast. "Your father's condition has stabilized, and he'll get better soon. You don't need to worry.""Thank you, Dustin." Abigail forced out a smile. She took a few bites but didn't have the appetite to continue and pushed the food aside. "Abigail, we're here." Suddenly, a group of youngsters walked through the door. They were Abigail's classmates, and they all brought something with them. Some of them had flowers, some had fruits, and others brought drinks. Among the gifts, the one most eye-catching was Mike's panax root.
"It was Torben from the Hill family." Dustin spat out the words casually."Torben Hill?" Instantly, Mike felt like he was struck by lightning at the revelation and turned pale. The rest of them also had a look of horror on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost. Torben Hill was the infamous vile demon of Millsburg, a scion of an affluent family standing at the pinnacle of power! He was known to be arrogant and tyrannical, committing all sorts of atrocities. However, with his powerful background, nobody dared provoke him. To them, an influential figure like Torben had the power to do whatever he wanted with them. Even if they were to encounter him on the street, they wouldn't dare look up, not to mention provoke him. "Y—you must be joking. Torben is the perpetrator?" After he fully digested the fact, his voice started trembling.Dustin had a stoic expression. "What? It seems like you're terrified." "T—terrified? No way!" Mike calmed himself down and rebuked stubbornly, "I g
In the face of the Hill family members' menacing gazes, Mike's legs gave way as he finally succumbed to the pressure and fell to his knees with a thud."I—It's … It's a misunderstanding!" Mike couldn't stop shaking and broke out in a cold sweat. "I was just joking. Please don't take it to heart, everyone."Patrick still had a smile plastered on his face. "You mean you're not going to slap him?""No, I wouldn't dare!" Mike waved his hands. "I have a cheap mouth and just like to brag. Please forgive me for my insolence, and don't find fault with me." Mike even slapped himself a few times to prove his sincerity. At that moment, Nina, who was still quite young, was also shocked into silence and was trembling slightly. The Hill family was such a powerful family that she wasn't even worthy of looking at them. Every one of them had the right to take her life away. "Since you don't have the guts to touch him, go stand at one side." Patrick's smile gradually disappeared."Yes, yes. Righ
