"Madam Alma agreed?" Both Florence and Julie were dumbstruck when they heard that. All their grumbles and doubts transformed into pure shock. They hadn't expected the Nicholsons to agree to the unreasonable request from Dustin. Those were shares worth billions! Could they bear to let it go like that? Wasn't that too much of a price to pay?At that moment, even Dahlia looked surprised. She could not comprehend why the Nicholsons were willing to pay such a ridiculous price for just a bottle of medicine."Since she's agreed, then get your grandmother to make a trip here to sign the papers. We'll make a fair transaction." Dustin smiled. He wasn't the least bit surprised by Alma's choice. He knew very well what people heavily reliant on Zirtanium were like. They would never be able to resist the temptation. After all, the Nicholsons had trillions in assets! Sacrificing one company wouldn't hurt them too much.When Julian finally drove off, Dahlia could no longer hold back her curiosity.
Dustin simply smiled and pulled out his phone before playing the voice recording of their conversation. Their agreement on the bet was loud and clear. After listening to the recording, both Florence and Julie blushed a crimson red. They hadn't expected Dustin to record it."Dahlia, there are things to handle in the company, so I'll be off now!" Julie quickly wormed her way out."Oh! Right! I'll go help her out." Florence nodded furiously. Then, the two of them escaped in a flash, without a moment to lose."That's just how they are. Please don't take it to heart." Dahlia was exasperated too."Forget it. I'll let it slip this time. But only for your sake." Dustin appeared benevolent."Thank you. You're the best!" Dahlia smiled. Then, as though having a sudden thought, she bit her lip and said shyly, "Dustin, I appreciate you always being by my side. Why don't we get married again?""What?" Dustin was stupefied the moment he heard what she said. For a moment, he simply didn't know h
Somewhere on the outskirts of Millsburg, in a military base, several thousand soldiers stood neatly at attention. From generals to privates, everyone stood with their backs straight. They all stood in well-arranged rows, and it was a grand sight to behold. Other than the usual troops, prominent figures from both the military and political fields were there. They all stood there in anticipation, a little nervous."General Winslow, will the Scarlet Warrior really be here today?" Dylan, who stood near the front, whispered to General Winslow, who stood in front of him. He had suddenly received notice from the army that the Goddess of War, Scarlet Spanner, would be visiting Millsburg. As a high-ranking commander of the Dark Panther Cavalry and a direct subordinate of Scarlet Spanner, he rushed over immediately."Of course! Don't you see that both of her trusted aides are here?" General Winslow gestured for Dylan to look in front of them.Dylan looked over, and just as General Winslow sai
The lady was none other than Scarlet Spanner, one of the two well-known aces of the Spanner family and the best Goddess of War Dragonmarsh ever had."As expected of the one and only Goddess of War. It's truly amazing how she made her appearance!" Dylan exclaimed inwardly, marveling at her.She had just jumped from a height of over 300 feet and appeared to be perfectly fine. That was no feat that an ordinary human could accomplish! Though he was from the Dark Panther Cavalry, he had only ever seen her heroic moves from afar. To be able to see her pull such a dangerous stunt up front and near truly left him shell-shocked."Welcome, General!" Her two trusted aides bowed and greeted her first."Welcome, General!" The rest of the troops followed after them, bowed, and greeted her. Their voices reverberated throughout the entire military base.Scarlet gave them a sweeping glance. It was nothing more than a simple act, but everyone felt an inexplicable pressure just from her gaze, making
"Achoo!" Dustin, who had finally wormed his way out of his predicament with Dahlia, began sneezing the moment he got back to the Flame Dragon Dojo. He wondered if someone was bad-mouthing him behind his back."Sir!" Right then, someone called out to him. Dustin looked up to see Abigail standing up from her seat, waving excitedly at him. It looked like she had been waiting for quite a while."My apologies, I was caught up with something else earlier on, that's why I'm late." Dustin walked up to her with a smile on his face."That's alright, I just got here too." Abigail wasn't bothered by it."Oh, right, where's your father?" Dustin looked around but did not see Michael."Dad ran into some urgent matters he had to handle, so he can't make it here. He told me to come here myself. Also, he wanted me to pass this letter to you." Abigail pulled out a letter and handed it to Dustin.Dustin opened the envelope and found two objects in it. One was a neatly folded letter, and another was
Dustin felt excited. He had been searching for the thousand-year green lotus. He only needed a Cherusia to produce the nine-fold Longevitum if he got it. "It is wonderful, Mr. Rhys, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to get it." Roderick's comment lowered Dustin's spirits. "I'll buy this precious herb no matter how much it costs!" Dustin had an unwavering determination to get his hands on it."It isn't about money, Mr. Rhys. The Stoneray Order does not lack money." Roderick shook his head."Well, what do they want if not money?" Dustin wondered."The Stoneray Order likes collecting rare and precious objects. The rarer, the better. Whether you are seeking medical help or special herbs, they only want rare items as payment," Roderick explained."Where would I be able to get rare objects so suddenly?" Dustin frowned. Things would be much easier for them if they could pay them off. But it would be tricky if the Stoneray Order did not accept money."Mr. Rhys, I've prepared some rar
Dustin and the rest took a boat into Stoneray Valley after registering themselves. They passed by green mountains, clear blue waters, and lush trees. The scenery was beautiful. After traveling about ten miles, they reached their destination and got out of the boat.There was a huge building that looked like a palace. It was majestic and breathtaking. They followed the crowd and went up a flight of stairs. Then they entered a lavishly decorated hall.There were already many people gathered in the hall. Everyone hoped they would be chosen by Dr. Watkins and be accepted into the Stoneray Order.The Stoneray Order was famous and distinguished in Millsburg. Even the Fabulous Five and the Tremendous Three had to show them respect. To be accepted into the Stoneray Order was the same as making it big in life. But Dr. Watkins was strict when choosing his students. And he would only accept ten students each year. It was almost a one-in-a-million chance to be his student.As Dustin admired
"Does it matter to me who you are?" Dustin shrugged."You insolent bastard! I am the leader of Asclepia, Dr. Bruce Darby's best student! Your disrespect toward me is a direct disrespect toward Asclepia! Just a word from me is enough to make you vanish from the medical field! Don't test me!" Preston threatened.The people who showed up were people involved in the medical field. Asclepia's power stretched across the nation. And all prestigious entities in the medical world respected them. It was easy for them to wipe out a small fry."Oh, I'm so scared. Well, go ahead and do as you wish, then," Dustin replied dismissively.His unconcern attitude and disregard fueled Preston's anger. "Y—yo—you bastard! Just wait!""Are you done yet? If you are, please get lost." Dustin waved his hand impatiently as if he was driving a bug away."You—!" Preston gritted his teeth.As he was about to get violent, Miranda tugged on his arm. "Preston, there's no need to stoop to levels of such lowlife.
