Chapter 289
"Watch out!" As the truck headed toward them, Dahlia's immediate reaction was to push Dustin away, completely disregarding her safety. Realizing that she had nowhere else to escape to, she instinctively shut her eyes tightly. Right then, she came to a realization that it might not necessarily be a bad thing to die like this. At least he would remember for the rest of his life. As her eyes closed, a strong figure dashed forward and put itself in front of her. With an ear-splitting boom, a fist landed on the front of the truck, and metal bent under the force. The sudden opposing force upturned the entire truck, flipping it around, and the truck landed on the ground behind Dahlia with a crash, debris flying in all directions. "Are you okay, Dahlia?" Dustin drew his hand back and quickly surveyed the woman for any injuries before letting out a breath of relief. "What in the world happened?" Dahlia's eyes were opened wide as she gaped at the empty space in front of her before turnin

"What?" Joshua stared at his sister's body incredulously. He never thought that Dustin would be so ruthless, killing without warning. "Anything else you want to say?" Dustin calmly asked. "D-don't kill me! Please don't kill me!" Joshua fell to his knees, begging. "I was an idiot to offend you. Please forgive me. I swear I won't go against you ever again!" "You had your chance, but you didn't appreciate it." Dustin's face was void of any sympathy. "N-no. I do. I promise! Please! I'm still young. I don't want to die! Just let me go. I'll do anything you want. I swear!" Joshua began ramming his forehead into the floor. He wasn't able to win against Dustin when he was in peak condition, so why would he have a winning chance now? For Dustin, killing Joshua would be as easy as killing an ant. "I'm pretty sure that's not what you said just now." Dustin sneered. "Didn't you say that you were going to make me suffer like never before after you recovered?" "N-no, I didn't!" Joshua

"Well done. Well done, indeed!" Edwin laughed boisterously. "This Substratumis may be expensive, but it's definitely worth the price!" While he was still chortling away, another bodyguard rushed into the room anxiously. "Sir, something bad happened back home!" The guard fell to his knees, weeping. "What?" Edwin frowned. "We just received news from Swinton that Hummer Villa turned into a slaughterhouse last night. All of our fighters are dead, and Ms. Hummer and Mr. Hummer were both killed as well. The Hummer family is gone!" These words struck Edwin like lightning, and the Substratumis in his hand crashed to the floor, shattering instantly. "Son!" Edwin wailed mournfully, collapsing to the floor. The devastated man stayed on the floor for what felt like ages. When he finally staggered to his feet, he seemed to have aged ten years, looking extremely haggard. "Get ready. I want to head to Boulderthorn's branch right this instant!" Edwin seethed menacingly. He no longer had

Meanwhile, in Park Place, Swinton. "What? Joshua Hummer is dead, and his entire family was massacred? They even burned Hummer Villa down to the ground?" Jessica, who had been relaxing a second ago, sobered when she heard her guard's report. The Hummer family was well known for being the top family in Swinton. While it couldn't win against the Harmon family, it was still a force to be reckoned with, especially with Boulderthorn's support. So who could be powerful enough to destroy that family? "Do you know who did it?" Jessica pushed. "The fire burned almost everything. It'll be difficult to trace the source." The guard shook his head. "We'll be in trouble if we can't find the culprit!" Jessica frowned, pondering. Under normal circumstances, she'd be over the moon to learn that the Hummer family was gone. However, most people now knew that the Hummer family and her daughter had something against each other, so Natasha would naturally become the prime suspect. What Jessica fear
Chapter 293
Was it wrong for a mother to worry about her daughter's safety? So why couldn't Natasha understand her? "Isfrid!" Jessica called out. A voluptuous woman immediately hurried into the room. "Yes, Madam?" "Send an anonymous letter to Clement Lincoln to let him know everything Dustin has done," Jessica instructed. "Huh?" Isfrid was stunned. "A-are you sure, Madam?" Dustin had been severely injured just to save Natasha, yet Jessica was telling her to betray him. That was crossing the line. "Shut up and do as I say! Natasha will only be safe if we sacrifice Dustin. Hurry up!" Jessica ordered coldly. "Yes, Madam." Isfrid could only nod. Although she felt sorry for Dustin, as the Harmon family's shadow guard, she had no choice but to obey Jessica. …Meanwhile, a red BMW suddenly pulled up at the door of Peaceful Medical Center. The car door flung open, and Dakota Nicholson rushed into the building frenziedly. "I know you're here, Rhys! Come out!" she yelled. "Which uneduca

"You shameless bastard!" Dustin's repeated refusal angered Dakota, the proud daughter of a wealthy family. Usually, people would be tripping over their feet trying to flatter her, yet here Dustin was, ignoring her. "Who's the shameless one?" Dustin raised an eyebrow. "Have you been eating so much junk food that you fried your brain? This is Balerno, not Glenstead, so don't give me that attitude!" "You–" Dakota was so angry she gritted her teeth, but she couldn't do anything else since she desperately needed him to save her mother. She would have already struck him if her mother's life wasn't at stake. "What do you want, Rhys?" Dakota took a deep breath, trying to keep her anger at bay. "I won't make things difficult for you, for Dahlia's sake," Dustin answered. "I can save her, but first, I want you to stop that haughty attitude of yours and give me a sincere apology. Next, I want you to write a letter of apology." "Never!" Dakota balked. "How could I, the daughter of the Gle

"Hold on." "What now?" Dakota halted and spun around, impatient. "You haven't paid yet. This medicine is precious. You can just pay me ten million," Dustin casually told her. "What? A bottle like this costs ten million dollars? You might as well rob a bank!" Dakota fumed. "This is obviously easier than robbing a bank. You can always give it back if you find it too expensive." Dustin reached out to grab the bottle back. "You're shameless!" Dakota gritted her teeth and wrote up a ten-million-dollar check before leaving angrily. She'd made up her mind to make Dustin pay after her mother recovered. After half an hour, she reached the hospital. As soon as she returned to the ward, she saw a group of doctors gathered there, shaking their heads and sighing. Her mother, Jane, was lying on the hospital bed, unable to move. "You're back, Dakota!" Florence rushed forward and asked, "How did it go? Does he have the solution? If there's no other method, we'll have to seek out Dr. Cro
Chapter 296
The doctors looked at each other in shock after seeing how lively Jane was. They couldn't believe that such a small pill had cured what a group of medical professionals had been unable to. It was incredible! Was that black pill a panacea or something? Getting over his shock, the bald doctor tentatively asked, "Ms. Nicholson, may I know what pill that is? Could we study it?" "Yeah, right. Fuck off!" Dakota immediately kicked him, making the man groan in pain. Knowing he had lost, he quickly led the other doctors out of the room in disappointment. "Who knew a small pill like this could be so powerful?" Florence was in awe. Despite its looks and smell, its effects were evident. "It may have cost ten million dollars, but it was worth it!" Dakota exclaimed happily. "What? Ten million?" The other two women instantly sprung up. "Are you joking, Dakota? A bottle like this costs ten million dollars?" Florence asked, wide-eyed. "Yeah! Were you tricked? How could this ordinary-l
