“Duane, come out and meet your maker!”Dustin’s roar of anger echoed through the villa like a clap of thunder. When Duane heard this contemptuous challenge, he was furious. “Which idiot is dumb enough to cause trouble on my property?” Duane thought as he rushed out in a hurry. However, when he saw Dustin in a distance, he couldn’t help but be taken aback. “It’s you, Dustin! Weren’t you arrested? How did you escape?” He had bribed Mr. Gardner to arrest Dustin and detain him in the interrogation room. Even if Natasha were to intervene, she couldn’t have helped him escape. “Was it you who framed me for the crime?” Dustin demanded coldly. “Since you are already here, it means that you know the answer to your question. You’re right, I am the one who framed you! However, you only have yourself to blame. I had to go to such lengths because you did not appreciate the chances that I have given you.” Duane smirked.“At the very least, you confessed to your crime. Now, I’ll giv

Duane exclaimed in terror, cold sweat pouring down his back. As a martial artist, Duane was well-known for his agile and deadly attacks. At his peak performance, the massive energy from his sword could move mountains! How was Dustin able to intercept his attack? What kind of monster could shatter swords with his bare hands? Dustin could not be human!“Don’t you already know who I am?” Dustin closed the distance menacingly and glared at him with icy-cold eyes. “Stay—Stay away!” Duane backed away in a panic. “I don’t need the gemiphen’s prescription any longer. Please let me go!” “I have given you a chance to redeem yourself, but you didn’t take it. It’s too late to regret now!” Dustin clapped his hands on Duane’s shoulders and squeezed tightly. With a loud crack, Duane’s arms were dislocated from their joints. An agonizing howl escaped Duane’s lips as intense pain spread throughout his body. Without hesitation, Dustin added a punch to his abdomen. The force of D

After Dustin’s identity was revealed, Duane gave up resistance. His eyes were lifeless as if his soul had left his body. Duane knew that he was a goner. No one would save him, nor did they dare to. “Take him away!” Hunter ordered his men to bind Duane up. Despite knowing the truth, Duane could never leave Azkaban. There was only one way to leave.That is, being carried out for cremation after death.“Stop right there! What are you doing? Leave that man alone!” At that moment, Oliver appeared with his two female bodyguards and approached them aggressively. Initially, he hadn’t planned on getting involved. However, Duane was such an incompetent idiot! How could he lose the fight? Oliver was forced to intervene before that knucklehead got himself locked up. At any rate, Duane was still of some use to him. He had to ensure Duane’s safety before he got his hands on the precious gemiphen. “You have nothing to do with this. Don’t poke your nose where it doesn’t b

At the Nicholson villa.Everyone was amazed to see Dahlia return home safely."Dahlia, you are finally home! I was so worried about you!" "Sis! Are you alright? Have you been bullied in the interrogation room?"Florence and James fawned over her eagerly. Since they received news of Dahlia being detained by Mr. Gardner, they had been extremely worried for her safety. They’ve used up all their connections and spent a ton of money trying to get Dahlia out.However, there was no reply. They were at a loss for what to do. Just when they had given up, Dahlia unexpectedly returned home on her own."Mother, I'm fine. Sorry for making you worry." Dahlia smiled. She was a little spooked by everything that had happened today. Fortunately, she managed to return home safe and sound. “It’s all Dustin’s fault. If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have been captured as well!” Florence muttered angrily. “Mother’s right! That shameless man is always doing sneaky things! Sis, you shou

Looking at Natasha’s closed eyes and puckered lips, she exuded a seductive aura that left Dustin stunned.“What's wrong with your mouth? Does it hurt or something?” Dustin was oblivious.“What are you on about? I'm letting you kiss me,” Natasha explained with frustration.“Huh?” Dustin's eyes twitched in disbelief as he gasped audibly. “This can’t be a good thing, can it?” He thought to himself. “Fine, if you don’t want it so badly, then this will be the last time you’ll ever get it,” Natasha teased playfully.“You idiot! If you don't grab this opportunity now, when would you ever get another chance like this!” The one-eyed old man peeping from the second floor hollered. He sighed deeply, shaking his head in disbelief at Dustin.“You’d better shut it!” Dustin turned around and shouted back, his eyes shooting daggers.However, when he turned his head back again, his attention was drawn to Natasha’s flawless complexion and cherry-red lips, making him suddenly realize what he mi

“Why’d you bring him here for, Natasha?” Jessica frowned as she probed.Natasha replied calmly, “This is my turf, I can bring over whoever I like. Anyways, I’ve already found a good fit for the position of chief physician, and it’s Mr. Dustin!” “What?!” Everyone exclaimed in shock when she announced that.“You’ve got to be kidding me, Natasha! Is he even qualified to serve as chief physician for the Harmons?” Jessica voiced her displeasure. “Dustin’s medical skills are top of the line, and he knows the ins and outs of medicine. I believe he won’t face any problems while serving as chief!” Natasha assured Jessica.“W—what kind of nonsense are you talking about?!” Jessica hollered, obviously agitated by her response.Ruth interrupted and clamored to her feet to de-escalate the situation. “Calm down, there’s no need to make a fuss. Let’s just sit down and talk it out. Dustin, let me introduce you to everyone. This is my mom, I believe you’ve met her before. And this man here is my

“What?”Natasha's sudden outburst of anger caused Quentin to furrow his brows. “Are you seriously going to turn on me just to protect this boy toy of yours?” One reason he wanted to humiliate Dustin so much was that he hated his guts, while the other was because he wanted to gauge Natasha’s reaction to the situation.“Dustin saved my life, so if you dare so much as lay a finger on him, don’t blame me if I flip out on you!” Natasha warned Quentin sternly. If not for the fact that he was her cousin, she would have slapped the shit out of him already.“Is that so!” Quentin snorted as his expression twisted into a scowl. “While I can put Tilda Snider’s case aside for now, I’m still very opposed to the fact that you plan to elect him as the chief physician when he doesn’t even have the right qualifications for the job!” Quentin argued back.Since this was one way of securing power in the company, it was obvious that he wasn’t going to let this opportunity slip away so easily.“Wh

After reaching an agreement on both sides, the atmosphere instantly became tense.Dustin and Mr. Wangley had their subordinates purchase some medicine for them.The plan was that the two of them would concoct poisons on the spot and down them together at the same time.As for who would win, that would have to depend on their respective skills.“Do you think Dustin’s going to make it, Sis? What if he gets poisoned to death instead?” Ruth voiced out anxiously. “Well, since he agreed to it in the first place, I suppose this means he’s confident that he can win. Have some faith in the guy.” Natasha assured with a straight face. Although she looked calm on the outside, she felt uneasy on the inside. If it were possible, she’d rather Dustin straight-up admit defeat.“You can say that, but Dustin’s only proficient in medicine. Surely he can’t beat Mr. Wangley in terms of his experience in the field of poison research,” Ruth murmured while shaking her head.There were many subfield
