Dustin couldn't be bothered with a smug know-it-all like Vivian."What's the matter? Cat got your tongue now that you're feeling guilty? I knew it!"Vivian sneered with disdain. "I've seen plenty of scammers like you in the martial arts world. You may be able to fool Sheila, but you won't fool me!""Vivian, Dustin isn't a scammer. I believe him!" Sheila spoke up for Dustin. "Sheila, you're a good person, but you're just too naive and easily fooled. You should be especially careful with those with unclear backgrounds." As Vivian spoke, she glanced at Dustin, clearly implying something. To her, Dustin was no different than the pretty-faced boys who used to pursue Sheila. They tried their best to please her, aiming to climb up the social ladder and gain a foothold in upper society. Fortunately, Vivian was sharp enough to see through all the tricks."Vivian, you got it all wrong. Dustin is a good man." Sheila's brow furrowed lightly.It suddenly occurred to her that her friend
Looking at the broken glass on the floor, everyone was stunned.Nobody expected Dustin to return and knock the glass out of Vivian's hands without a word."Hey! What are you doing? Are you crazy?" After a brief moment of shock, Vivian slammed the table as she stood up. The slap had left the back of her hand swollen and burning in pain. "Outrageous! How dare you offend Vivian like that? You have nerves of steel!"The others berated Dustin in righteous anger. "If you don't explain yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk out that door." Evan stood up slowly, his domineering aura gradually showing itself."The wine was poisoned. I was saving your lives," Dustin responded coldly. "Poisoned?" They all exchanged dismayed looks, feeling doubtful. They had assumed Dustin acted out in revenge, but his revelation caught them off guard. "Hah! Am I supposed to just take your word for it? How do we know you're not lying?" Vivian yelled. She was naturally suspicious and would
"Vivian, what are you talking about? Dustin saved us!" Sheila was dumbfounded."Sheila, don't be fooled by him. This guy has ulterior motives!" Vivian smugly explained, "He was the one who poisoned our drinks! He made a show of leaving before returning at a critical moment to play the hero. "He did all that to earn our trust! But these tricks won't fool me!"Vivian's explanation cast a shadow of doubt in everyone's minds. What she said did seem possible. After all, they would rather trust Vivian than a stranger. "Hey, are you that full of yourself? I'm not that desperate for entertainment to play these petty games with you," Dustin replied coldly.He had been kind enough to help them, but he didn't expect this woman to be so ungrateful!"Hmph! You still won't admit it? Fine!" Vivian said. She continued, "Then let me ask you. How did you just so happen to bump into that waiter and just so happen to pick up this vial of poison? "Don't tell me these are all just coincidences
"What?"The unexpected turn of events startled everyone. It was especially shocking for Vivian, who was left dumbfounded.She looked down to see the bleeding wound on her chest. Her face showed a mixture of shock, astonishment, confusion, fear, and disbelief.She never expected to get shot. It happened so fast and without any warning. She was in a daze. Then, she suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. The situation had finally hit her. "Assassins! Get down!" Evan was the first to react and shouted out loud. The others snapped out of their daze. They were quick to take cover on the ground. Meanwhile, several masked assassins burst into the room. They had kicked the door open. Each of them wielded a silenced pistol. Upon entering, they opened fire without mercy, shooting anyone they saw. Amidst the rapid gunfire, two people were struck down. "Damn it!" Evan got angry. Instead of retreating, he kicked a table over. It crashed into several of the assassins. Taking ad
"Simba? What the fuck is a Simba?""Whoever you are, you're going to die today since you've met Evan!"Several young men and women started shouting. They had seen Evan's performance just moments ago. They watched how he took down several armed assassins in an instant. What more was a weaponless fighter? "This person is clearly a martial artist built on strength. I have to catch him off guard and end the fight as soon as possible." Evan gave him a quick once over and made a decision. He bent his knees slightly, slowly gathering momentum. Then, pushing down with his feet, he propelled himself forward like a bullet. He launched with tremendous power."Thunder Strike!" Evan shouted. Internal energy surged through his body. Then, he threw a powerful punch straight at Simba.A faint explosion echoed as Evan's iron fist heavily struck Simba's abdomen.However, Simba didn't react. He stood like a mountain, unflinching. He showed no signs of injuries. "Is that all?" Simba cross
"What …"As they watched Simba being sent flying, a stunned silence fell over everyone. Their eyes widened in disbelief. Some of them even doubted their eyes. Simba was over two meters tall. He had a massive figure and a muscular physique, just like a mountain. Meanwhile, Dustin looked thin and fragile. It was as if a gust of wind could blow him away. Under normal circumstances, Simba should have been the winner. After all, they had a clear difference in size. So, how did the situation reverse so suddenly? "What the fuck? Who the hell is this guy? How is he so strong?"The group exchanged shocked looks. Not even Evan could rival Simba, so how could this country doctor have defeated him? "Dustin, you're amazing!" After a brief shock, Sheila immediately cheered. If it weren't for Dustin intervening, she might not have survived."Don't be that impulsive next time. Your first priority should be your own safety in a situation like this," Dustin warned. This woman was willin
"You—!" While Vivian seethed in anger, there was nothing she could do. She could only endure in silence. She could only pray that Dustin would work faster. She sensed that she was losing blood, and her body was growing weaker. Three minutes later, Dustin finally finished treating the second man. As long as the bleeding was stopped, he wouldn't die immediately. "It should be my turn now, right? Hurry up and start treating me!" Vivian was getting impatient. She rushed Dustin repeatedly. Yet Dustin appeared completely at ease. He didn't feel any sense of urgency. He wiped his hands and stretched lazily before leisurely sipping on a cup of tea. "Hey! What are you doing? Help me stop the bleeding!" "Vivian was on the verge of losing her temper. She was nearly drained of blood. How could he be in the mood to enjoy his tea? "Why the rush? It's not like you're dying." Dustin glanced at her, still unmoved. "What do you mean I'm not dying? Don't you see that I was shot? Where's
The night grew deeper. It was particularly quiet at Auspicious Restaurant. The place wasn't as lively as in the morning. One reason was its secluded location, and the other was because it didn't operate at night. Suddenly, a muscular figure jumped over the walls. He skillfully went through the restaurant. The figure was headed to a private room on the second floor. When he arrived at the door, he gave it a light knock. "Come in." A dignified voice came from inside the pitch-black room. The figure opened the door cautiously. He immediately dropped to his knees when he got inside. Speaking toward a folding screen, he announced his arrival. "I'm here, sir.""You got injured?" The voice spoke again from behind the folding screen."I failed my mission. I encountered a powerful opponent and almost lost my life." Simba lowered his head. His expression was filled with fear and respect. Blood was dripping from his wounded arm onto the ground. It sounded jarring in the sil
