Dustin mingled with the others at the liquor party but only drank a little to avoid getting drunk. Dustin continued to observe the people there, who seemed to be in different groups. Several characteristics distinguished one from the other. Starting from the way of dressing, even though they both wore black clothes, some were wrapped in cloth ropes, some were covered with robes, and some were covered with sharp weapons such as daggers and arrows that Dustin believed were coated with venomous animal poison.I have to be careful with them. Dustin pretended to be a person who didn't understand anything.***Dustin had been infiltrating for a few days. He had observed many people there. And he just realized that not everyone around him was his enemy. He only gathered with the attackers, who were probably lower class. That's why he was still waiting for the right time to attack his enemy."Sir." One of his bodyguards approached in a different outfit from Dustin. "I got some information.""
Hearing that, Dustin's intentions changed. Dustin didn't know exactly where the treasure of the country they were talking about was, but Dustin was sure that the black cloth they were holding was also the treasure they were talking about.Considering there was no suitable place to hide the precious treasure in this place. Especially now that they had lost a lot of people because of the split. The atmosphere was also still agitated because they didn't trust each other. Many camps were made of thin tents, and hiding such a precious treasure here was definitely not safe. Moreover, the schism from earlier could happen again, causing the safety of the glory to be jeopardized."Where did they hide the treasure?" Dustin wondered to himself.After treating his wound, Dustin ambled toward the two men. "Excuse me, I'm sorry if I accidentally eavesdropped your conversation. I heard you guys talking about the country's treasure and wanting to create a new country. Is that true?"The two men's bro
The woman in army clothes smiled kindly at Dustin, then squatted beside him. "Take it."Dustin took the glass, then nodded once. "Thank you." She turned her gaze in another direction."My name is Eveline." The female soldier extended her hand to Dustin, and Dustin greeted her briefly."Bing," Dustin replied briefly, using his pseudonym from his time here.Eveline looked at Dustin with an admiring gaze. "From the first time I saw you, I was attracted to you, Bing. You seemed more ambitious than the others, and then I also saw the aura of anger on your face. I like that. How about you become my subordinate? If you want, I'll give you a high position here."Dustin looked at Eveline, who seemed confident in saying that. After thinking about it for a while, Dustin finally exhaled. "Yes, alright."Eveline smiled happily. She raised her thumb up. "Deal. Now, you are officially my man. Later, I'll take you to meetings with important people."Dustin pretended to accept that to infiltrate the m
Albert, on the other side, nodded his head respectfully. "Yes, sir. We'll be on our way."The phone connection between Dustin and Albert was cut off. Albert immediately raised his hands, gesturing with one of his right hands. "Set the formation!""Yes, sir." Albert's right hand nodded its head, then left with his troops.The black-clad bodyguards immediately set up, guarding in front of the gates of the Kendrick family home. They all carried complete weapons. Albert, meanwhile, secured the entire house with a tight guard by the bodyguards."What's wrong, Albert?" asked Yosan, who passed Albert after therapy in a room near the backyard.Albert bowed respectfully. "Mr. Dustin informed us that this house will be surrounded by attackers, sir. We are preparing to maintain security here."Yosan exhaled. He had expected this to happen, but he also did not expect that his son would be directly involved in finding out the whereabouts of their enemies. "How is the situation?""Mr. Dustin didn't
Dustin was on his way back home. Dustin secretly went home without telling Karina. Dustin wanted to surprise her. In fact, Dustin only replied briefly to Albert's message without saying that he was going home.After Albert obtained data from his fallen troops, Albert immediately provided reinforcements and benefits to the families left behind with the approval of Dustin and Yosan. The Kenderick residence, which was initially a mess full of corpses and blood that were smeared all around, had been tidied up by Albert. Although there was still a fishy smell in the wind."Mr. and Mrs. are you alright?" asked Albert when he met Yosan, Eri, and Jake."We're fine. Thank you, Albert. You and your troops have worked hard to protect us." Yosan was both amazed and proud of Albert.Albert bowed his head respectfully. "It has been my honour to protect you and the others, sir.""How is Dustin doing? When will he be back?" The look on Yosan's face instantly turned sad.Albert smiled while bowing res
Everyone was shocked to hear of Yosan's departure. News of his passing spread quickly throughout the city. That same day, Yosan's body was immediately washed. Everyone who knew him came to the funeral home and the church to pay their last respects.Important people and other successful businessmen came to offer their condolences. As many as two thousand invited guests were present to pay their last respects to Yosan, including the prime minister and other prominent wealthy families. State servants and military security forces stood guard around the church where Yosan's blessing occurred. Many journalists wanted to go inside, but they were not allowed."I hope you can bear it, Dustin. Believe me, your father was a very good man. He will be happy in heaven." One of Yosan's close relatives offered his condolences to Dustin.Dustin nodded his head while shaking the hand of the old man before him. "Thank you."Dustin behaved as a good host. He kept his demeanour. Despite his sadness, Dusti
Four months after Yosan's departure, Dusutin had already surfaced a lot. Dustin had often had business meetings with great people from various countries. Today, he would have a business meeting with Albert as his loyal servant in a large, luxurious building outside the city. The Kastelia Building in the opposite city was famous as a five-star building that offered visitors beauty and luxury at the same time.Dustin was in his private plane. He read the business progress report diagram, then glanced at Albert, who was sitting opposite him. "How's that mine near the south estuary coming along? Did you manage to negotiate it with the others?" Albert bowed his head respectfully. "We've tried to negotiate it, sir. But the other party is not willing. They insist on claiming that the mine belongs to them. Even some employees have been bribed to agree that the mine belongs to the Hover family."Dustin is in conflict with one of the wealthy families who both want the mine. They were fighting
Karina was watering Yosan's favorite flowers in the garden two months later. There was one flower that Karina deliberately took care of to preserve her memories with Dustin. Dustin had given her the red tulips on their wedding anniversary before he left for a meeting that day.Karina stopped the water tap in her hand, then gently rubbed her stomach. "If only I had not let you go that day, maybe you would still be here. Right now, with me, Dustin."Karina no longer cried too much over Dustin's departure. Although her chest ached and tightened, Karina was already stronger. At least, not calling every day.The garden maid approached Karina, extending her hand in front of Karina. "Let me continue watering the plants here, Miss. You just rest."Karina nodded her head as she handed the water hose to the maid. "Thank you."Karina strolled away from the garden. Her mind was racing, thinking about Dustin. This was still hard for her, but Karina persevered to protect the baby in her womb.Karin
Karina covered her mouth in disbelief at what Dustin had just said. Her eyes filled with tears. She jumped into Dustin's arms."I'm so happy, Dustin." Karina wiped away her tears while releasing a hug from Dustin. She held the man's hand. "Come on, let's go to the hospital now to make sure that your memory has indeed fully recovered."Dustin smiled, then nodded in agreement. "Alright." He also couldn't wait to find out.They quickly got into the car and ordered the driver to go to the hospital where Dustin usually went for medical checkups. As for Ludwig and Agnes, they left it to the bodyguards and nannies to take the sleeping children back home.Along the way, Karina continued to hold Dustin's hand with an indescribable feeling on her face. Her heart kept beating fast, eager to discover if Dustin's memory had fully recovered.When they arrived at the hospital, Dustin was immediately examined by a doctor. All the examination results will be known within the next 2 hours.Karina bit h
They decided to spend time together there, making a campfire on the beach and enjoying the small waves that occasionally came closer.Ludwig was having fun today. He ate the grilled corn and sausages with gusto. "This is fun. This place is also very beautiful and makes me happy."Karina nodded her head. "That's right. Mom is always happy to be here, too." She rested her head on Dustin's shoulder. "Now everything feels complete. This happiness, the children, and our togetherness."Dustin frowned as a memory flashed through his mind. "Ah, yes. I can remember that."Karina smiled happily. They watched Ludwig, who was feeding his new pet dog and looked at Agnes, who was already sleeping peacefully on the trolley.Dustin kissed Karina's forehead warmly. The images and flashbacks in his mind continued to swirl, showing how many memories it would be a shame for him to forget.Ludwig approached them while stroking his stomach, which looked slightly distended from overeating. "Mom, Dad, I'm sl
When they arrived home, they saw Clark waiting at their door. Ludwig and Agnes rushed into the house first, along with their maidservant. Meanwhile, Karina and Dustin approached Clark.Clark immediately stood up and bowed respectfully when he saw them. "Good afternoon. I'm sorry if I'm intruding."Albert immediately lowered his head when he saw Dustin glancing at him. Dustin's gaze seemed to ask why Clark wasn't waiting inside the house. Although Albert knew that Clark was the one who had saved his master, he didn't want to be presumptuous in inviting the white-haired man into the house without Dustin's permission."Not at all. Come on, come in." Dustin touched Clark's back, led him into the house, and sat together in the living room."You should have told me in advance that you were coming here so I wouldn't have gone anywhere and kept you waiting for a long time." Dustin felt bad for making Clark wait for him. He had no idea how long he had been waiting.Clark seemed to exhale softl
Axel bowed his body before Dustin, looking very sorry for this incident. "I apologize for this unpleasant incident."Dustin nodded slowly. "It doesn't matter. It's also my fault as a parent for not paying proper attention to my child."Axel did not expect that something like this would happen at his mall. The problem was it happened to Dustin. Axel felt bad.Dustin looked back, seeing how Ludwig was doing. "Are you okay?" Ludwig nodded his head. Dustin patted Ludwig lightly on the shoulder. "You're a very extraordinary boy. You don't have to fear anything if you're in the right situation."Dustin held his son's shoulders as he leaned over slightly, looking earnestly into his son's face. "If someone else wants to push you down, you have to push them back."Ludwig exhaled softly with a severe face. "Father, don't treat me like a child. Of course, I know that." He folded his arms across his chest. "You saw that yourself, right? I can deal with both of them."Dustin smiled, then hugged Lu
Karina immediately embraced Ludwig's body. The look on her face was one of deep concern. She had been trying to avoid approaching Ludwig, holding back the resentment and anger in her heart towards the man with glasses and his son."Are you okay? No injuries?" Karina watched Ludwig's face and body, who had been pushed several times until he almost fell.Ludwig only answered with a shake of his head.Dustin slammed Nueve's hand down so hard that the man took a few steps back and dropped his glasses. His nearsighted eyes squinted, trying to see who was before him."You're the father of this fucking kid?" Nueve tapped Dustin on the shoulder with the tip of her index finger. "Look at this!" He pointed at his glasses that had fallen to the floor. "You made my glasses fall off. Compensate now!" He clucked in annoyance while holding his head. "Ah, how unlucky I am to have met two damn people like this."Dustin remained silent, looking at Nueve with a sharp gaze. He was holding back his anger
"You've hurt my son." The man's voice was so loud that it scared Ludwig because he had never been yelled at like that by anyone, not even his parents.Ludwig was scolded by the man with glasses. The man's eyes were not good, so he thought that Ludwig was a damn person who abused his son."He's the one who's not careful." Ludwig tried to defend himself. He looked at the boy sharply."Don't be evasive." The boy pushed Ludwig's shoulder, causing Ludwig to take a few steps back. "You're the one who knocked me down." The boy held up his index finger, pointing at Ludwig, seemingly not wanting to take the blame for his actions earlier.Ludwig was waiting in line for his turn to play the basketball game, but since it was filled with kids who were quite a bit older than him, Ludwig decided not to play the game and left. But when he turned around, he accidentally bumped into the boy, knocking him to the floor.It wasn't all Ludwig's fault because the boy he hit was playing with his cell phone,
After breakfast, Karina took Dustin to the office where they used to spend time together doing their work. Dustin looked around and was surprised to see so many reports on the desk.Karina stroked the edge of the brown desk and looked at Dustin. "Actually, this is all your work, but I'm helping you finish it little by little even though it seems like the reports are never finished because they keep adding up every day."Karina picked up one of the files there and opened it, then handed it to Dustin. "Maybe you'll remember it better if you see this."Dustin took the file and looked at Karina. "So, this is all my work?" He did not expect his duties as the head of the Kenderick family to be this extraordinary. He opened the file and skimmed through it. "It's overwhelming and confusing."Karina nodded her head and sat on the table while gently stroking Dustin's shoulder. "At first, I also had a hard time working through all of this, but I forced myself and managed to do it." Karina smiled
Dustin nodded his head. "Yes, I'm fine." He raised both hands while smiling kindly. "As you can see."Clark nodded. He sat on the chair next to Dustin's bed. "I had no idea that you... ah, I mean, you were such a wonderful person." He smiled with a cautious-looking face. "You are the leader of the Kenderick family."Clark looked very awkward in Dustin's presence. Even now, he dared not look directly into Dustin's eyes. He only dared to glance occasionally.Dustin smiled at Clark's behavior, which was different from usual. "Just act normal. Don't be awkward or feel reluctant towards me. I already think of you as my friend."Clark smiled happily as he raised his hand. "This is truly a tremendous honor for me."Dustin shook his head with a soft sigh. "Don't overdo it. Just behave as you normally do. I am deeply indebted to you for taking such good care of me."Clark smiled as he bowed his head for a moment. "It's my duty as a doctor."Clark looked at Dustin. Although Dustin's memories we
Karina released her embrace from Dustin. She wiped away her tears, and then Dustin's hand gently wiped away the remaining tears on Karina's cheeks. The woman's face reddened slightly."So, are you my wife?" Dustin asked again to make sure. He was still not entirely sure because this felt strange to him. Even with all the images in his memory, it felt like something new.Karina nodded her head. "Yes, I am your wife." Karina stroked Dustin's face affectionately. "You are my most handsome husband."Karina's pupils lit up. The longing in her heart for Dustin was so great. She couldn't imagine if Dustin had died in the helicopter crash. She wasn't ready and never would be, especially with Ludwig and Agnes still young. They desperately needed Dustin's love.Karina smiled, lowering her hand carefully. "You are a great person. You protected me under any circumstances. You were even willing to risk your life for me several times." Karina tried to unlock Dustin's memories. "You were very good a
