Cecilia's face was covered in blood, and her limbs looked misshapen. Her stomach must have suffered from the impact, too, as her water broke and she bled from her stomach."Cecilia! Haley!" Dustin shouted. They were both unconscious, and neither of them responded. He quickly got out of the car. There was a loud clanging sound as he yanked the deformed car door open and pulled Cecilia and Haley out. They were both heavily injured. Dustin had no choice but to perform acupuncture on the spot to stop their bleeding. He also used his true energy to keep their condition stable. He had to keep them alive."Sir Rhys!" Several of the Kirin Gang disciples rushed up to them.They were guards that Dustin had arranged to keep Natasha safe. They had always secretly followed Natasha, so they immediately exited their car when they witnessed the accident."Quick! Send them to the hospital immediately!"Once things were under control, Dustin swiftly carried Cecilia and Haley into the guards'

"Regarding this matter, I've already explained it to your father and Trent. The treasure map was stolen several years ago, and its whereabouts remain unknown," Hector said."Uncle Hector, it sounds suspicious if you put it that way."Dylan grabbed a banana and casually peeled it. "The treasure map is a precious item. You've deemed it more valuable than your own life. "How would you let someone steal it? Are you sure you didn't secretly hide it for yourself?""Are you doubting me? Where's your evidence?" Hector furrowed his brows."Uncle Hector, the day has eyes, and the night has ears. We all know the truth."Dylan took a bite of the banana and grinned. "As your nephew, I advise you to consider handing it over soon. Otherwise, no one can guarantee that today's events won't repeat themselves."Everybody's faces fell when they heard that. Especially Natasha, as her anger flared up. She rushed forward and grabbed Dylan's collar. "What did you just say? Are you saying you had a h

A red carpet was stretched from the house's entrance to the reception hall.Today marked the official announcement of Trent's position as the patriarch of the Harmon family. It was previously acknowledged within the family but was now being publicly declared. The Harmon family extended invitations to many guests and organized a banquet.Anyone who had good relations with the Harmon family or wished to gain favor with them made their way to congratulate them. The change in leadership meant that other influential families or figures would need to realign themselves with the Harmon family.…Meanwhile, Trent and the core members of the Harmon family gathered inside the conference room.Compared to before, the number of people present had significantly decreased.After the recent change, nearly half of the core members had been marginalized. Most people in the room were Trent's trusted inner circle and allies."Trent, after today, you'll be widely recognized as the patriarch of

Dustin just replied with a single word."Thanks." The girl in the blue dress smiled and motioned for her friends to sit. She thought, "This seems to be the only place with many empty seats. He looks friendly, so sitting with him shouldn't be an issue." "Hey, I'm Livia, and these are my friends, Leah and Quinton. What's yours?""We just met, so there's no need for names," Dustin replied bluntly. He was on a mission, not here to socialize.His rudeness caught Livia off guard.But Leah couldn't hold back and confronted him. "Hey, watch your tone. We're just asking for your name! "What's the big deal about that? You're not even dressed like a rich man. What makes you think you can act so high and mighty?"Quinton chimed in, "Yeah, you're not exactly dressed to impress. It's an honor for you to meet us.""It's ok, let's all forget about it." Livia tried to defuse the situation.But Leah couldn't let it go and snapped. "You can't give in to a loser like him, Liv. It's clear he d

"Unbelievable!""This is outrageous!""You have the nerve to mess with the Harmon family. You must have a death wish!"The startled guests shouted and protested.The commotion drew the guards' attention, who surrounded the area.Dylan sneered at Dustin. "You've got some nerve attacking me. If your bodyguard was here, you might have a chance. But going up against me alone is just asking for death!"Despite his previous loss to Cornelius, Dylan remained confident in defeating Dustin. Among his peers, he believed only Tyler could pose a challenge."Kid, today marks my ascent as the Patriarch. I don't want bloodshed, so surrender now," Trent shouted at Dustin. He knew Dustin's skills and gangs, but it was nothing compared to the Harmon family's forces. Besides, he had the support of the Grants."Dylan's life ends today, and anyone who intervenes will die too!" Dustin proclaimed."How dare you!" Trent barked at his guards, "Grab him!""Wait!" Dylan stepped forward. "Uncle Tr
