[Clara has provoked someone terrifying!] That was another text his father had sent him. A storm of thoughts swirled in Michael’s mind. He could not imagine what kind of people could have such power. He frowned and glanced at Dustin before he scoffed. Him? Dustin was nobody. He was not even worth mentioning! There was no way that it could be him! While the wealthy heirs anxiously fidgeted, Clara stood on the stage and felt deeply disappointed. She did not understand why no one was bidding for her work… It would be good enough even if just one person could stand up and break the awkward silence. “This is Miss Clara’s finest work. It’s highly valuable for collection. Is there nobody who feels tempted to bid on it?” asked the host on the stage, but no one spoke up. The whole atmosphere became even more awkward. Clara made up her mind. She whispered something to the host. “The person who purchases Miss Clara’s paintings today at a high price will have the oppor
When Clara woke up, she was lying backstage in the art exhibition hall. “Miss Clara, you’re awake!”Michael immediately rushed to her in concern. “Mr. Carson…” Clara slowly regained her senses, but her face darkened. She was humiliated at the art auction today. “Mr. Carson, why are you still here?” Clara’s expression turned cold, and she was very indifferent toward him. Michael had always claimed to be her fan, but he ignored her desperate gaze for help during the auction. “Miss Clara, please don’t misunderstand. It’s not that I didn’t want to support you, but… I couldn’t afford to!” Michael sighed helplessly. “You’re the heir of a prestigious family in Central Harbor, and you couldn’t afford it?” Clara scoffed. Michael signed again. He was unable to explain, so he showed Clara the texts he had received. When Clara saw the text, she looked shocked. She could not calm herself. The head of the Carson family, who was Michael’s father, threatened to disown him. W
The Carson family’s base was at Central Harbor. The Carson family was not on their home turf, but Michael was still able to gather together a group of people. When Michael led his group to Dustin, the latter was drinking tea in a cafe in Rivenesco. “All the people who’re not involved in this, leave now!” Michael and his group stormed in and chased out all the guests. Dustin sat at a table with a cup of tea in hand. He appeared calm and was unfazed by their arrival. This made Michael furious. “Dustin Fox, how do you have the nerve to sit here and drink tea after you’ve offended me?!” he shouted at Dustin. “Beat him up! Make him kneel before me!” Michael’s lackeys immediately shouted and rushed at Dustin. These were the thugs he had gathered in Rivenesco. They were vicious and had done some pretty terrible things. He had hired them to work for him. Among them were some who laughed in the face of death. Michael thought that he could take Dustin down with these pe
“Dad?” Michael’s eyes widened in disbelief. He was certain that was the voice of his father and the head of the Carson family, George Carson. But why was he here? Following the sound, Michael turned and saw a stern middle-aged man glaring at him in anger. Michael rubbed his eyes. He was still in disbelief. George was supposed to be in Central Harbor. Why was he here? “Dad, why are you here?” asked Michael in fear as all his arrogance vanished. He was the heir of the Carson family and feared no one except for George. Whenever George pulled a long face, Michael trembled in fear. At that moment, George was so furious, and Michael was terrified. He had never seen such a scary look on George’s face before. “I said, get on your knees and apologize!” George shouted. Thud! Michael did not dare disobey him. He fell to his knees in front of George. “Not to me! To him!” George shouted. Michael followed George’s gaze, and his face stiffened. George was talking about
“When the Carson family fell into decline, Thomas joined Hell Hall. With their support, we rose to power again and joined the ranks of powerful families! “In order to repay the King of Hades, Thomas became one of his Secret Guards. That is a great honor for the Carson family!” George’s words sent Michael into shock. This was too much for him to handle. “He’s… the King of Hades… the leader of Hell Hall?” Michael looked at Dustin in disbelief. “Obviously.” George really wanted to slap Michael again. Michael felt all his strength drain from his body, and his face turned pale. The King of Hades? He was the ruler of the underground! He stood at the top of the world! Michael could not believe that the person the Wyatt family kicked out was the leader of Hell Hall and the master of the Carson family. Michael trembled so badly at that point that his mouth quivered. He was no longer arrogant. ‘Oh no… Oh no…’ he thought as he trembled. “After I sent those two messages to
The Wyatt sisters gathered together at the Wyatt family villa. Amara looked much better than she had a few days ago. It seemed like she had recovered from the dejection she felt from losing her money in the stock market. “How’s the situation with the company?” she asked as she sat on the sofa. “Not good. The Zimmer family keeps pushing us, and they don’t seem to want to stop. It looks like they intend to take us down with them,” Clara said darkly. Amara pulled a long face. She had thought about buying shares to save the company, but she ended up losing fifty million dollars, which worsened the situation. “How are you feeling, Bella?” She looked over at Bella, who was sitting beside her. Bella appeared to be in a daze and did not answer. “She’s not mentally here… at least not entirely. Sometimes, she’s okay, but whenever I ask her what happened that day, she starts screaming and loses all her reason.” Delia sighed. “I can’t cure her… not with my skills. I heard that a fa
“Why is one of the Seven Fiends here?” Shadow Two asked darkly. “I heard that the Wyatt family is no longer under the king’s protection. Looks like it’s true.” The Hidden Fiend looked around with a teasing grin. “Over the years, plenty of powerful fighters attacked the Wyatt family, but they’ve never been able to step in because of that person who was protecting this place. Now, I’ve just walked in, and I’m still fine. It seems like he really has left.” The Hidden Fiend smiled coldly. “What did you say? King’s protection? People have been trying to attack this place?” Delia was puzzled. “He must be talking about one of the Shadows,” Amara whispered. “We have thieves vying for our treasure. Dad left behind the Shadows to protect us from the dark. That’s why we were safe. But Dustin shamelessly tried to claim credit for all of that since he didn’t know about the Shadows. He doesn’t know that I do, though,” Amara said mockingly. Shadow Two was stunned because he knew that the S
As night fell, Simone drove back to the Langley family villa. As usual, Dustin followed her. He followed Simone everywhere every day and helped her take care of company matters. They looked like a couple, and other people also treated Dustin like he was already married to Simone. Dustin said nothing about the matter and just let things happen on their own. He did like Simone, and if they really were to get together, he would not refuse. After they got out of the car, they wanted to go into the villa, but Dustin suddenly stopped. “Head in first, Simone. I’m going to buy some things,” Dustin said with a smile. Simone gave him a look. “Come back soon. I’ll wait for you to have dinner together.” Then, she went in. Dustin’s face darkened. He left the Langley family villa in a flash and stopped under a tree. “Come out!” he snapped. Someone stepped out from the dark. He looked surprised. “You live up to the reputation of being Lucas’s best student. You’re pretty good
