"Are you out of your mind? How could you attack someone from the Doyle family?" Nina and the others went pale as a sheet when they saw Duncan lying on the floor, unconscious. They never expected Dustin to be so bold."So what?" Dustin replied, unconcerned."Hmmph! What an ignorant fool!" Nina glanced at him disdainfully. "The Doyle family is one of the Fabulous Five. You might end up as a corpse floating in the Ziby River by tomorrow!""Really? I don't think so." Dustin shrugged."Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're rich. The Doyle family is far stronger than you can imagine," Mike informed scornfully. "Terry Doyle is also a protective man. If he hears that his family was attacked, he'll take this seriously! If I were you, I'd start apologizing to them and atoning for my sins. That way, you might still have a chance of survival." Dustin gave the other man a small smile in response. "Well, you aren't me.""I've said what I needed to say. Since you're bein

The next morning, Dustin was reading medical literature when a silver Bentley pulled up at the entrance of the courtyard. "Bad news, Dustin! Something happened to my dad!" Ruth rushed into the building and yelled anxiously. "Calm down. Your dad won't die yet." Dustin slowly lowered his book, looking unbothered. "Huh? How did you know?" Ruth was surprised."Didn't I tell you yesterday? Your father was poisoned, and he won't live past three days. This is only the second day, so he still has one day left," Dustin answered. "Then, what should we do? Can you treat him?" Ruth pressed."I can, but on one condition.""What is it?""I hope your family can agree to your sister's request and break off the engagement with the Grant family.""Break off the engagement?" Ruth frowned. "Dustin, this isn't a matter to be taken lightly. My father won't agree to it."The marriage was one that both families were expecting. Should the engagement be broken off, the relationship between the two

At noon, Dustin sat in Ruth's car, and the two of them arrived at the Harmon estate with ease.As one of the Fabulous Five, the Harmon family's headquarters were luxurious. It had a man-made lake, a garden with artificial hills, farms, wineries, and numerous magnificent villas. Hundreds of guards patrolled the perimeters, and dozens of staff worked there, fully demonstrating the power of an aristocratic family.Staring at the garden, Dustin pondered about the annual family gathering happening tomorrow."We're here."The silver Bentley slowly pulled into the entrance of the main villa. As soon as they got out of the car, they spotted Jessica and two servants waiting for them at the entrance."You're here." Jessica gave Dustin a look over and asked cooly, "Yesterday, you said that my husband was poisoned by mystic poison. Is that true?""You wouldn't have looked for me if it weren't," Dustin answered, making Jessica narrow her eyes.She would never have sought him out if her hus

"You agree, then?" Peter regarded Dustin disdainfully with his arms folded."Of course." Dustin nodded. "Since you look so confident, I'm curious to see how good you are. However, I hope you don't regret your promise later.""Good. I'll show you how lacking your traditional medicine is compared to modern medicine!" Peter smirked smugly. He pulled a vial of green liquid from his case and explained, "See this? This is the newest antidote my team developed. Within thirty minutes, the patient will wake up again.""Good luck." Dustin's response was simple."Look closely. This is the power of science!" Peter exclaimed before slowly injecting the green drug into Hector's body.After ten minutes, the unconscious man began to react. Sweat beaded Hector's forehead, his limbs began warming up, and the blue discoloration in his skin began to recede as his condition began to improve."It's working! It's working!" Jessica and Ruth were over the moon to see the changes.As expected of a lead

Jessica's eyes had turned hostile."That's odd. We've tested our antidote multiple times. There's no way it would fail." Peter began feeling slightly nervous as well."What now?" Jessica demanded with a frown."This place is too poorly equipped. There's nothing better I can do." Peter answered seriously. "So you turned out to be useless after all?" Jessica's face darkened further. The person she thought was her husband's savior turned out to be a quack doctor!"Why don't you think of another solution, Dr. Peter?" Quentin insisted."It's futile. The technology your country uses is too dated. I can only cure him back in my country." Peter shook his head, feeling proud of his country."Just admit that you can't do it and stop blaming our facilities or technology." Dustin retorted cooly."As if you'd be able to treat something I can't!" Peter humphed haughtily. "This is the difference between traditional medicine and modern medicine. You need all sorts of equipment, but we only

Not long after he spat out the dark blood, Hector came around. Although his body was weak, it was a miracle that he'd made it.As for Peter, when he saw Hector regain consciousness, he admitted defeat and apologized to Dustin sincerely. He said that he'd been foolish to underestimate the power of traditional medicine and that he'd resign from his position after returning to his country to start learning traditional medicine instead.Dustin decided to let the man be. After all, Peter may be a proud man, but he sincerely respected those who were stronger than him.The rest of the Harmon family also resumed their activities after making sure that Hector was fine. Quentin, however, made sure to glare at Dustin on his way out."How are you feeling, Dad? Are you in pain anywhere?" Ruth walked over to the bed, holding a glass of warm water."I'm fine. I just feel slightly bloated." Hector took two sips."Duh. Look at the blood you threw up. It's full of maggots!" Ruth told him, shaken.

"Huh?" Hector turned around and looked at Jessica, who reluctantly said, "You were in critical condition, so I became desperate and told him that as long as he's able to treat you, I'll let the two of them meet.""That's fine. Your intentions were good." Hector didn't get angry but responded calmly instead. "I agree to let you two meet, but you'd better not mess around. I'll have someone watching you. Got it?""Yes!" Dustin agreed immediately."Ruth, lead him to your sister," Hector instructed."Okay!" Ruth chirped.Natasha has been waiting for this chance for ages, and today, the two would finally get to meet."Oh, that reminds me …" Before leaving the room, Dustin halted and turned his head around. "Mr. Harmon, mystic poison isn't a simple issue. The person who poisoned you probably has more in store. Be careful of those around you.""Got it." Hector nodded. He has always lived in seclusion, so it wasn't easy to poison him. It was also worth noting that tomorrow was the ann

Meanwhile, in the backyard, a gorgeous woman sat gracefully on the arched bridge over the pond, her gaze fixed on the fish swimming in the water.Her feet dangled in the air, and her toes would occasionally break the water's surface. Bathed in warm sunlight, she resembled a fairy, taking one's breath away effortlessly. Even the colorful blossoms in the garden paled in comparison to her.There was a splash as the woman flung a handful of fish feed into the pond.Instantly, thousands of fish swarmed near her and thrashed around, splashing water everywhere. The colorful fish painted a gorgeous painting as they fought for good."I envy you fish. You can live without worrying about anything, unlike me, who can't even decide what I like." The woman sighed, her expression turning sad."Who said you can't?" A familiar voice rang out behind her.The woman froze before laughing at herself. "I'm even beginning to hallucinate in broad daylight now.""Hallucinate? It's not that serious, is
