Dustin put his key into the lock. Inside the apartment, Kendall tensed. He gave the goons by the door a meaningful look to tell them to stay ready. The two goons by the door were big and brawny. Neither of them was someone to be messed with. Kendall believed that Dustin, with his small build, would be easily apprehended the moment he walked through the door. There was a creak as the door opened. Dustin slowly swung the door open and stepped into the apartment. Immediately, he saw Patricia tied up and with a panicked look on her face. He also saw Kendall standing at the side, looking all pleased. “Get him!” Kendall ordered. The two brawny goons by the door jumped out and pounced on Dustin viciously. Looking unaffected, Dustin ignored the goons and side-stepped his two attackers. The goons missed him completely. The two goons looked stunned. With a crash, they sprawled out on the floor. They landed so hard that it felt like the floor shook with several qua

“What is this?!” Kendall was fearful. He wanted to kill Patricia and make Dustin suffer along with him. At the very least, he wanted Dustin to regret this for the rest of his life. That way, he would still feel as if he had won somehow. However, when he tried to cut Patricia, a weird red light appeared around her and blocked her from him. The red light pushed Kendall away from Patricia, and he could not get close. “What?!” Kendall was baffled. After experiencing Dustin’s terrifying power, Kendall’s worldview had been upended. That was bad enough. But even after deciding to go all out and kill Patricia, something like this was still happening. What was even going on? Kendall was on the verge of going crazy. Patricia looked at her body bathed in red. The warm light surrounded her like a veil and stopped Kendall from hurting her. “Is it because of this?” Patricia was in disbelief as she suddenly thought of something. Dustin had won the auction for a blood

The great Dhillon family of Hattan was destroyed just like that. It was said that Kendall had become a useless cripple and would have to spend the rest of his days relegated to bed. He could not even move, and there was nothing that could be done to treat him. The other families in Hattan thought that it was the ultra-rich Cabello family of Summerdale that had done this. They were impressed at how powerful the Cabello family was and pitied the Dhillon family. It was true that one could not afford to offend a family like that. After spending a day at the hotel, Dustin took Patricia back to their apartment in the suburbs. The place had been cleaned up and was immaculate. All the damage from the fight had been fixed, and everything looked good as new. Patricia was a strong woman. Thus, she recovered from her ordeal very quickly. She even went to work right after. Dustin went to Duscia Corporation, and Adrian reported to him. “It’s impossible for the Dhillon family to mak

Dustin observed what was going on at the front desk on the security feed on his screen. Adrian arrived at the front desk. “Mr. Pierce, you’re here.” The receptionist nodded at Adrian, and Adrian nodded back. Crispin and the driver, Nicholas Olson, assessed Adrian. “What a self-important person the general manager of Duscia Corporation is! How dare you make Mr. Tonra wait downstairs?” Nicholas asked in displeasure. Adrian did not spare the driver a single glance. He could not be bothered to speak with an insignificant staff member. If Dustin had not given him the orders, he would have chased these two out already. “You’re the general manager of Duscia Corporation, Adrian Pierce, yes?” Crispin looked at Adrian contemptuously. “I’ve never heard of the Pierce family having a person with your name. You’re quite capable of fooling the families of Hattan so easily with the same last name.” Thinking that he had dirt on Adrian, Crispin smiled very tauntingly. “What are yo

A day passed in the blink of an eye. In the evening, Dustin and Patricia drove to the Yeager family villa. When they got out of the car and walked to the entrance of the Yeager family villa, they saw Percy waiting at the door. When Percy saw them, he turned livid, and his face darkened. “Uncle Percy,” said Patricia in greeting. “Hmph! So, you still recognize me as your uncle,” said Percy coldly and glared at Patricia. Patricia remained silent. Percy glanced at Dustin. His gaze shone with hatred. Patricia used to be very obedient and never dared to go against the Yeager family members. But lately, she had become so insolent even toward the patriarch of the family. Percy thought that Dustin must have led her astray. “Today, your great-grandfather invited you over for a meal. You’d better behave at the dining table and make him happy,” Percy said. “We will,” Patricia said. “Well, why are you so stubborn then? The Yeager family has agreed to let you return, yet you in
