Late that night in Zephyr Lodge, Dustin told Hector. "Mr. Harmon, your wounds have been treated. You'll be fine after a few days of rest."After dressing up the wounds, Dustin gave Hector a Haemoplenish to boost his health. Fortunately, the three stabs hadn't hit any vital organs. Otherwise, it would have been a pain to treat."I appreciate your help tonight, Dustin. Thank you." Hector smiled at him, looking pleased with Dustin. Somehow, he had already taken Dustin as the best candidate for his son-in-law."You're welcome. It's not a big deal at all."Dustin smiled as he asked, "Mr. Harmon, I'm just curious. You certainly can take charge of the situation and put them in their place. Why did you have to stab yourself three times?"Hector was still in command of the shadow guards. Nobody would have been able to retaliate if he had taken more drastic means to control the situation. Then, he wouldn't have to end up the way he did now—powerless and poor. "It's clear that things
The Harmons have strived for over a hundred years to get where they are now. If Natasha were to start over, it would be tough on her."Don't worry, Dad. I have confidence in succeeding when it comes to business." Natasha was sure of herself."What are your plans?" Hector asked."I don't see much potential in Millsburg. I plan to go to Oakvale. I'll make it big there with Immortunol," Natasha declared in high spirits."Oakvale?" Hector's brows pinched together. "But you don't have any connections in Oakvale. I'm afraid things will be hard for you there.""Dad, have you forgotten that Grandfather works in Oakvale? Nobody will dare mess with me with him there!" Natasha chuckled."Seems like you've already thought things through." Hector nodded with relief. "If that's the case, I wish you all the best." With Natasha's abilities and full support from Mr. Ballard Senior, it would be easier for her to set up a new company in Oakvale and succeed.The Harmon family's future would a
"Dustin Rhys?" All the disciples of the Jade Maiden Sisterhood were stunned.None of them had expected the genius miracle doctor mentioned to be Dustin. And the most important thing was that they had just had a conflict with him not too long ago. It would be awkward to go to him for help now."That Dustin guy, are his medical skills really amazing?" Letitia asked with her brows furrowed.He was barely over the age of 20. It was shocking to hear that he was an elder in the Stoneray Order."Of course he's amazing!" the disciple of the Stoneray Order nodded. "Dr. Watkins personally appointed Elder Rhys! He's also the youngest elder in the Stoneray Order. His medical skills are only second to that of Dr. Watkins'!"The scene where Dustin had cured a paralyzed patient with just a single needle was still vivid in his brain. He was still impressed to this day."Elder Rhys might be young, but there's no doubt in his medical skills. He might be able to treat Madam Parker." Elder Ferng
"Playing hard to get, are we?" Brittany looked at Dustin as though she had seen through him."Alright, if a meal isn't enough, I'll agree to a date too. I'll even let you hold my hand. Are you happy now?"From her point of view, she had made a huge sacrifice. After all, all those men who fawned over her didn't even have the chance to get close to her."Honestly, I'm really curious why you're so confident." Dustin was speechless.He had clearly rejected her. But Brittany was so full of herself and thought the world of herself. She seemed to believe that she was a goddess and that every man would fall at her feet."Why?" Brittany flipped her hair over her shoulder. "Because of my beauty, charm, perfect figure, and noble status, of course! I excel in every aspect possible!""Amazing!" Dustin gave her a thumbs up. "Since you excel in every aspect possible, why don't you cure Madam Edith's internal injury? I won't be needed then." Dustin turned and left."Stop right there!" Bri
With a crisp, loud smack, Brittany was sent flying. She spun in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.When she opened her mouth, two of her teeth fell out. Her nose was bleeding, too.For a split second, a deathly silence came over the place.All the Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples gaped in horror. They looked like they'd just seen a ghost.Never in their dreams had they expected a man to hit Brittany so hard that she was sent flying, and not after she had kissed him!That was Brittany—the most seductive and alluring charmer among them all! She was a great beauty; countless talented young men fought for her attention.Even men from elite and prominent backgrounds admired her!She was used to men fawning and bending backward for her. None of them ever showed their temper or said anything mean to her.Dustin was unhappy after getting a kiss from Brittany, and he even slapped her!How dare he do something like that? Was he out of his mind?"You—you hit me?" Brittany sc
"Saving her is easy. But who is she to me? Why should I save her?" Dustin asked."Young man, if you save Edith, we will forget about all past grudges!" Letitia coaxed. "Besides, I will let you choose one of our disciples as your wife if you wish.""I have no interest in any of you from the Jade Maiden Sisterhood. If you want me to save Madam Parker, I have three conditions," Dustin said."What are your conditions?" Letitia squinted at him."First, I shall be paid 50 billion." Dustin raised a finger."Fifty billion? That's outrageous!" Brittany was angered."Then I guess we do not have a deal." Dustin left them no room to negotiate."Alright, alright. Fifty billion it is!" Letitia nodded.Money was not important. As long as Madam Edith was alive, they could always make more. The Jade Maiden Sisterhood lacked no rich men fawning over them."Second, Nikki Horst returns to the Jade Maiden Sisterhood." Dustin raised another finger."That wouldn't be a problem." Letitia agreed re
"What are you doing still standing there? Get lost!" Letitia shouted at her impatiently.Brittany seemed to wake up from a trance. She glared at Dustin as she pointed a finger at him. "You … you wretched bastards! Curse you!""Throw her out!" Letitia didn't want to deal with her anymore. The Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples dragged Brittany away on Letitia's orders. If she stayed longer, she might anger Dustin with her nasty words. That would be terrible for them."I've driven her out of the sisterhood now, young man. Will you save Edith now?" Letitia asked after getting rid of Brittany."Pay up first," Dustin reminded."Sure." Letitia dared not wait any longer. She immediately transferred all the money she had to Dustin.Once the transaction was completed, Dustin nodded reluctantly.Under his orders, his men brought the unconscious Edith into the infirmary.After renovating Zephyr Lodge, it now had all sorts of facilities. From infirmaries to sparring halls and libraries,
Dustin jumped to his feet when he heard what Florence said. "How did that happen?""You beast! How dare you ask me how that happened? It's all because of you, of course!" Florence shouted. "After she met you the other night, Dahlia seemed to have lost her soul! She refused to eat or drink, and she cried endless nights! Then, this morning, she attempted suicide by jumping off the building!"Dustin felt like he'd been struck by lightning. His mind went completely blank. Never in his wildest dreams had he ever thought that Dahlia would act so rashly!How could she attempt suicide by jumping off a building without saying anything to anyone at all? Had she lost her mind?"She … How is she now?" There was a tremble in Dustin's voice."She's still in a critical condition and doing horribly! Her life is in danger!"And this is all because of you! You beast! You're the reason Dahlia threw herself off the building!"I'm warning you, Rhys! If anything happens to Dahlia, I'll make you pay
