“This is entirely the Langley family’s fault that we underestimated you! We were prideful and blind…” Margot said solemnly. “Please forgive us, My Liege!” At this point, Margot could do nothing but admit her mistakes. With a word, the King of Hades could wipe the Langley family from the face of the earth without so much as a noise. Dustin did not bother to respond. “Fine. Invite Simone and her family here immediately. I think you know what to do now, right?” he said coldly. “Yes, I do. I won’t let you down, My Liege!” Margot said quickly. She sent someone to invite Simone and her family here. Soon, Simone’s family arrived in the living room. They looked a little stunned. By that time, the members of the Panther Gang were all gone and the place had been cleaned up. It was as if nothing had happened here. “What happened to you?” Simone looked confused. She saw how strangely the members of the Langley family were behaving. “Uncle Derek, why are you trembling?” She

The Aquila family was one of the most powerful families of Lannopolis. At this moment, Brennan Aquila, the patriarch of the Aquila family was frowning and sitting in his usual seat. “Is there no news?” he asked the servant before him. “Sir, we’ve searched the entirety of Rivenesco, but we couldn’t locate Devon. We’ve also inquired with the Panther Gang and checked the Langley family’s main villa in Rivenesco, but we found nothing,” the servant said. When he heard that, Brennan looked even more troubled. His second son, Devon, had taken along some people from the Panther Gang to Rivenesco a few days ago. He had wanted to seek revenge but had then disappeared. “Investigate more! Use more drastic measures if you need to!” he shouted. “There’s no need to investigate any further,” said a woman’s voice from beyond the room. A beautiful, elegant young woman walked into the Aquila family’s living room. “Who are you?” Brennan asked. “Bianca Winter of the Seven Clans of

“What kind of disgraceful behavior is this, Irene?” the man asked with a frown. “Don’t forget that you will be a member of the Aquila family soon. How dare you act this way?” Irene looked at the man indifferently. Hatred flashed in her eyes for a second before it disappeared. “Oh, give up, Trevor Aquila. I will never marry you. I will never become a member of the Aquila family!” she hissed icily. “Your marriage is arranged by your family. With the way things are with the West family, do you really think you can refuse this arrangement? It’s better that you behave and come with me to the Aquila family and wait quietly for the wedding,” Trevor said with an icy smile. Irene’s pretty face grew livid with anger. “Get lost!” she shouted. Trevor was enraged by her words. “You want to do this the hard way, huh? Alright then. Drag her back home!” he ordered. “Do you think you can drag a woman away against her will in public?” One of the men in the bar immediately stepped forwa

Irene had assumed that Dustin would be like the other men. She thought he was only standing up for her because he was drawn by her beauty. She also assumed that he would get beaten up like the others. But she was wrong. Dustin had not intervened because he was drawn to her. He had killed Trevor. For a moment, everyone in the jazz club was stumped. No one dared to offend Trevor, who was the third son of the Aquila family of Lannopolis. Yet, Dustin had killed him in just one strike. He was unimaginably brash! Ignoring the shock of those around him, Dustin turned and walked toward the jazz club’s exit. He did not even spare Irene a glance. “Hold it right there!” “Do you think you can just leave after killing Trevor?” Trevor’s underlings could not just stand by and watch as Dustin left. They moved forward to stop him. Dustin did not waste his breath. His gaze turned sharp as he made a small movement. The person who had dared to stop him was dead. After that,

Dustin was determined to retrieve the Fox family’s martial arts manual. If the West family had something to do with the destruction of the Fox family, then he would annihilate the West family during the visit! On the way, Irene gave Dustin a quick explanation of the West family’s difficulties. It seemed that Lucius West had wandered around quite often when he was young. His upright character had offended many people in the underground. One of them was a very dangerous person. Lucius had defeated and crippled him in the past. Unexpectedly, that person made a full recovery and got even more skilled in fighting. He had come to the West family’s villa and injured Lucius critically. He had promised to be back in ten days to kill everyone in the West family… To save themselves, some seniors of the West family had gone to the Aquila family to ask for help. In their desperation, they had promised Irene’s hand in marriage to Trevor. After all, the Aquila family was powerful and

“What do you mean by that, Uncle Clark?!” Irene was outraged.“Oh, nothing! I was just saying that someone useless like you will find someone else who is just as useless!” Clark West said sarcastically. It was no secret that the two branches of the West family were always at odds. The idea of having Irene married to Trevor to save the family was also Clark’s doing. Irene had lost her father when she was very young. In the years after that, she and her mother had suffered a lot of abuse from Clark and his family. “Uncle Clark, you’re going too far!” Irene looked furious. “What? Am I wrong?” Clark scoffed. “What have you managed to accomplish throughout the years? A woman leading a family! What a joke! The only way you can contribute to the family is by marrying into the Aquila family! But you keep running off every few days. We won’t let this slide if you ruin the marriage alliance with the Aquila family!” Irene was enraged, but she did not want to vent her frustrations her

“Enough!” a middle-aged man shouted from near the bed. He was a senior of the West family and Irene’s eldest uncle. Besides Lucius, he was the one who could call the shots. Clark did not dare do anything after hearing him shout. “Connor, this punk is too arrogant! He doesn’t have any respect for the West family at all!” Clark found the whole thing very unfair. “Shut up! How much more do you want to embarrass us?” Connor yelled at him. Clark did not say anything further, but he remained outraged. “Young man, my brother was very rude to you. Please forgive him.” Connor got up and bowed to Dustin apologetically. Dustin let out a huff but did not attack. “Right now, my father is in a critical condition. Once he gets better after the treatment, we will make it up to you.” After that, Connor urged Irene to talk to Dustin. However, Irene was very worried about Lucius and did not leave the room. After a moment, someone led a middle-aged physician into the room. “Dr. P

Dustin had not intended to intervene. He did not care as long as Ryan could wake Lucius from his state. Whether Ryan managed to cure Lucius was none of his concern. However, when he saw the way Ryan planned to treat Lucius, he could no longer stay quiet. If Ryan killed Lucius, Dustin could not find out about the past. “What did you say?” Ryan glared at Dustin. He looked extremely displeased. He was a renowned top grade physician. He could not have some punk question his methods while he was trying to treat a patient. The members of the West family watched in confusion. How could this punk be so bold as to say such a thing? “No matter what you do to treat Mr. West, he will die,” Dustin said flatly. “What nonsense!” Ryan’s face darkened. He was outraged. “Do you know who I am? Do you even know who my teacher is? Who do you think you are to question me?” he spat viciously. “In all of Lovellia, no one other than the enigmatic Medical Sage has the right to ques
