The giant royal plaza was packed with only the representatives of every single major house, rich merchant guild, and high-tier cultivation organization. Everyone stood tightly together beneath the massive golden banners of the empire that fluttered lazily in the cold wind.Everyone in the entire province knew the truth about these urgent imperial events. Royal meetings like this were only called for very difficult challenges that led to great, life-changing rewards.Right at the absolute front of the grand courtyard stood Chloe Sterling, looking highly beautiful but incredibly mean. Her small arm was wrapped proudly and tightly around Young Master Brandon, and her eyes scanned the crowd with extreme satisfaction.Young Master Brandon lifted his chin in supreme arrogance, looking down on every single person who walked past them on the stone path. He adjusted his expensive red cuffs, his face full of an unyielding, arrogant pride that made nearby lesser cultivators look away in shame.B

Lady Vivienne’s silver eyes weakly fluttered open for a split second, a sudden, burning wave of absolute shock and unbridled fury crashing through her fading consciousness as she processed the intimate physical contact."What a... pervert," she choked out, her voice a fragile, painful whisper. "How dare you... take advantage... of me..."Her vision dimmed once more, her eyelids growing too heavy to hold up, and she went completely back into a deep, silent unconsciousness.[Ding! 10,000 Anger Points earned from Target: Lady Vivienne! Funds successfully secured for the host!]Dustin did not waste a single second, instantly navigating the blue screen inside his mind to open the system shop."System, buy the advanced modern medical kit and use it on her immediately!" Dustin commanded in his thoughts, his eyes flashing with a serious, urgent light.[Ding! 5,000 Anger Points spent. Advanced Modern Medical Kit purchased and deployed.]A strange, sleek silver box materialized out of thin air,

The two remaining assassins stared at their leader's bleeding body in total shock, their faces turning completely white as they stepped back into the wet mud."What kind of strange sorcery is this?" the second killer shrieked, his voice shaking with a massive wave of sudden terror. "How dare you use forbidden dark artifacts against us!""You will regret doing this to our captain!" the third one roared, his eyes wide with unbridled fury. "Do you honestly think you are the only one who knows dark magic?"Dustin did not say a single word to them; he stood perfectly straight and looked only at the new words flashing brightly on his blue system screen.[Ding! 8,000 Anger Points earned from the targets' intense shock and fury! Total balance: 8,000 points!]"We cannot defeat this weapon with normal power!" the second assassin hissed, turning to his friend with a crazy, desperate look on his face. "We must use the ultimate forbidden magic right now!""Yes! Let's do it!" the third one agreed,

The glowing blue screen stayed very bright right in front of Dustin’s eyes, cutting through the heavy gray mist of the mountain pass. The stark white letters burned straight into his freezing mind.As Dustin stared at the magical interface floating in the air, a distant memory suddenly flashed in his brain. Years ago, when he was just a young boy working in the lower fields, he had once heard an old myth from a traveling scholar about mysterious entities called "Systems" that were granted to a very few vulnerable, broken outcasts at the brink of death to help them gain absolute power.Realizing this mythical legend was actually happening to him at his darkest moment, Dustin desperately shouted inside his consciousness, "System! If you are real, save me! Can you give me some high-tier magic spells or a cultivation core to destroy these monsters right now?"[SYSTEM NOTICE: This system gives zero magic spells. Host can buy modern weapons and tools with Anger Points. Earn points by making

Lady Vivienne looked down at the dark wet blood on her beautiful silver dress. She looked at Dustin’s face and felt a very strange, deep pity inside her heart.Dustin was bleeding in the mud, his handsome face covered in cuts and dirt. Vivienne thought he looked too beautiful and too sad to die in this dirty courtyard."Stop this right now," Lady Vivienne said, her voice loud and cold like winter ice. "I do not care about your stories or your family problems. I want to buy this man."Chloe Sterling blinked her eyes fast, completely shocked by the lady's words. She looked at Young Master Brandon, and then she looked back at Vivienne with a greedy smile."You want to buy this broken trash, Your Grace?" Chloe asked, letting out a small, mean laugh. "He is completely useless now. His legs are broken and he cannot work anymore.""He is just a lying, bad servant," Eleanor Sterling added quickly, nodding her old head up and down. "But if you give us some silver coins, you can take his useles

The cold winter rain beat heavily against the wooden gates of the Sterling manor as Dustin Vance hurried through the cobblestone path. His fingers were stiff from the freezing air, but he kept his hands wrapped tightly around a small, glowing crystal vial.Inside this precious vial was the rare Elixir of Life, a medicine he had spent the last three weeks of his life performing brutal, back-breaking labor in the deep mountain ores to obtain. His body was completely exhausted, his shoulders bruised, and his clothes covered in dark mud, but none of that mattered to him right now.He had pushed himself past his physical limits to return several hours ahead of his usual schedule, driven entirely by a beautiful anticipation. He simply could not wait to walk through the front doors, place this expensive medicine into his wife Chloe's hands, and see the radiant, happy smile return to her face.For three long years, Dustin had worked himself to absolute bone-deep exhaustion for other arrogant
