"So what? What can you do to me?" Terrence taunted, unaware of the impending trouble he had brought upon himself."I'm Roderick Brooks, and you work for me. What do you think I can do to you?" Roderick asked coldly."Still keeping up the act, I see. Do you think I'd really buy this crap you're spouting?" Terrence snorted."Terrence Stone, I'm officially informing you that you have been fired by Brooks Corporation, effective today. You need not come to work tomorrow." Roderick wasted no time in making the decision."Hahaha! You're firing me? You're something else, aren't you!" Terrence guffawed. "Truth be told, I have a powerful person backing me up in Brooks Corporation. Even Roderick Brooks is in no position to fire me, much less an impostor like you!""Is that so? Well, would you be so kind as to enlighten me who the person backing you up might be?" Roderick asked sternly. If someone like this was the manager, it was high time Brooks Corporation had a restructuring."You have n

"That's strange. Why are they headed our way? They look like they're up to no good. They're not here to give us trouble, are they?" Florence fidgeted anxiously in her seat."They're here for me," Dustin piped up."You? Have you offended someone again?" Dahlia frowned. She noticed that Dustin ran into quite a lot of trouble these days."I wouldn't exactly say I offended him, per se. I simply beat him up to teach him a lesson on how to behave," Dustin said calmly."This is not Swinton. There are influential people all around. There are some people that we simply cannot afford to cross!" Dahlia whispered. Though she was now chairwoman of Cardinal Group, the handover had yet to be completed, so she had neither funds, connections, nor experience. At this stage of her life, what she needed to do was to make more connections, keep a low profile, and stay out of trouble."Don't you worry, Miss Dahlia. I'm here. I'll make sure that nobody kicks up a fuss here." Terrence shot her a confiden

With a loud smack, Duncan's hand made contact with Terrence's cheek. The force was so strong that he staggered backward, nearly tripping over himself. The crimson outline of a palm blossomed on his face, clear for all to see.Julie, along with the rest of them, were astonished by what they saw. It was beyond their expectation that these thugs would be so dauntless as to assault the manager of Brooks Corporation. Were they out of their minds?"You—How dare you hit me!" Terrence held his cheek in his hand, gasping in disbelief. "Do you not know who I am? I am a managerial level in Brooks Corporation!""So what?" Without another word, Duncan gave him another hard slap. "I'd probably be intimidated if Roderick Brooks himself were here. But a mere manager? Do you think I'd be afraid of you?""You scumbag! You're done for, I'm telling you! How dare you hit me! I'll make you pay if it's the last thing I do!" Beside himself with rage, Terrence pulled his phone out and was about to call for

"Ah!" There were a series of loud cries as the henchmen were caught off-guard, falling to the floor one after another and rolling around in pain. In a blink of an eye, the floor was littered with people. Everyone had a fork or a knife lodged so deeply in their thighs that they couldn't even pull it out."What?" Duncan couldn't help but be startled by the sight.He had carefully handpicked these henchmen. All of them had gone through extensive training and were highly skilled. Typically speaking, a ten-against-one battle would have ended in an overwhelming but predictable victory on one side.Yet, never in his dreams would he have expected that all of his men would have fallen just like that.Were cutleries supposed to be this deadly?"What? That bastard is this strong?" Victoria couldn't help but be shell-shocked by how nonchalant Dustin looked. In her mind, Dustin was just an insignificant small fry.How was he capable of that?"Fuck! Turns out he's had some training. Why did

Seeing Cobalt and Flint stride in, shivers ran down Terrence's spine. "Just who is this bastard? How did he manage to get the Sander father-son duo here?!"These two were renowned top dogs in the martial world. Either one of them could take on a hundred opponents at once. They rarely showed up for anyone; it was definitely no easy feat to have invited these two to a fight."Terrence, who is the Sander father-son duo? Are they very powerful?" Julie asked from the side."Powerful? To the average person, these two are monsters! Especially the one named Cobalt—he's an absolutely terrifying freak. He kills like it's nothing. Countless people have died by their hands!" Terence said solemnly.As one of the backbone members of the Brooks Corporation, he naturally knew a thing or two about the martial world."What? They're that scary?!" Julie shrunk behind Terrence.Although Florence and the others didn't say anything, they maintained their distance, afraid that they might end up as colla

However, comparatively, Dustin's fist was much smaller than Flint's."You're asking for it!" Flint snorted coldly. He exerted more force in his arm, his internal energy surging out from his body.There was a loud explosion as the two men's fists collided with each other.Dustin stood there without budging an inch. Cracks began forming beneath his feet. On the other hand, the moment their fists crashed into each other, Flint let out a grunt. He flew backward, slamming against the wall heavily, leaving a crater in his wake. The arm that he used to throw the punch was dripping with blood, and his bones were shattered. He couldn't move anymore. After two seconds, he finally couldn't hold back anymore and coughed up a mouthful of blood. His body began to crumple slowly, sliding down the wall like wet mud."How is that possible?!" Duncan was stunned by what happened. Although Flint wasn't as strong as Cobalt, he was still ranked thirteen on the Hundred Immortals. However, a figure as p

"Lord Consultant, greetings! I am fighter Cobalt Sander!"Under everyone's gaze, Cobalt got on one knee and saluted Dustin with a face full of respect. He was the Hill family's fighter; in other words, he was a high-ranking guard.Meanwhile, a consultant was completely different—a consultant was second only to the master!Everyone, no matter who, referred to him with the respectful address of "sir" or "lord."One could count on one hand the number of Consultant Badges the Hill family had given out. There were merely a handful of consultants, but each and every one of them was all-powerful figures! If Dustin was able to get a Consultant Badge, then that was sufficient proof of his power and worth!"Er …"Everyone was shocked when Cobalt suddenly got on one knee. They were completely dumbstruck, their faces full of disbelief.That was none other than the famous Master Sander, the second-ranked on the Hundred Immortals! People everywhere worshiped the ground he walked on. Yet,

The fork whizzed through the air like an arrow leaving the bow and went straight through Duncan's arm."Ah!" he screamed, cold sweat pouring down his face."Remember, if this happens again, I won't stop at just an arm," Dustin warned."You … you're ballsy!" Duncan pressed his arm that was bleeding profusely, and ran for his life—his former moments of glory had now turned into a humiliating spectacle."Dustin, what was that thing you took out earlier? Why did that guy get on his knee immediately when he saw it?" Dahlia couldn't help but ask curiously once Duncan was gone.The others didn't utter a word, but they were also bewildered."Oh, two days ago, I saved a patient, and his family gave me a badge. They told me that if I ever got into trouble, this could save my life. I didn't think I'd actually have to use it," Dustin said with a laugh."Huh? That's unbelievably lucky," Dahlia said, slightly surprised. She had almost thought that he was going to end up in deep shit."Hmph,
