Dustin sighed as Serena’s car disappeared down the road. He rubbed the side of his neck and exhaled slowly.

“She is so tough,” he muttered to himself. “At this rate there isn’t any way I can get her to sleep with me.”

He took out his phone and made a call.

“Mr Fred.”

The line picked almost immediately.

“Young Master,” Fred’s respectful voice came through. “How is everything going?”

Dustin leaned slightly against the gate. “She is still very tough.”

There was a short pause, then Fred chuckled. “Perfect match for you then.”

Dustin ignored the teasing. “Do you know about the Quilox family?”

“I have heard of them,” Fred replied carefully.

Dustin’s voice lowered as he explained everything that had happened with Ferdinand, the threats, the control over the Avalon project, and the fight.

When he finished, Fred went silent for a moment.

Then he said coldly, “Who the hell is Ferdinand? Give me an order and I will deliver his fingers on a table.”

Dustin sighed. “No. I don’t want that. Just do some findings on them. I want everything about the Quilox family. I don’t want violence. I want to destroy them emotionally.”

Fred paused again. “Understood, Young Master.”

The call ended.

Dustin slipped the phone back into his pocket and exhaled. “I guess I have to adjust to this city life.”

He glanced around, then made up his mind. “I need clothes.”

He started walking.

Meanwhile, in the city hall, Ferdinand was being escorted out by his bodyguards. His face was red with rage, his broken wrist poorly wrapped, his steps uneven.

“I want to know everything about that guy!” he shouted suddenly. “Everything! Even a single fucking detail! I swear I will destroy him!”

The guards bowed quickly. No one dared speak.

Ferdinand stormed into his car and slammed the door.

“Drive!”

The engine roared to life as he clenched his teeth, replaying Dustin’s face over and over in his mind.

Who the hell are you?

At the same time, Dustin arrived at the city’s most expensive boutique.

The building stood tall and polished with glass walls that reflected gold lettering above the entrance.

“1+ Boutique.”

Everyone in the city knew it. Only the rich entered there. The kind of place where even stepping inside without money felt like a crime.

Dustin stopped at the entrance and looked up briefly. Then he walked forward casually.

He was about to reach the door when a voice cut sharply behind him.

“Yeah. It’s you. It’s fucking you.”

Dustin paused.

He slowly turned.

A slim lady stood a few steps away, arms folded, eyes narrowed like she had just spotted trouble she hated.

Her gaze locked on him.

Dustin didn’t recognize the lady, but it was clear she knew him.

She stepped closer, eyes sharp with irritation. “Why are you following her everywhere after forcing yourself on her?”

Dustin blinked once. “Following who?”

The lady folded her arms tighter. “I’m Lizzy. Serena’s best friend.”

Dustin nodded lightly. “Oh. Nice to meet you.”

Lizzy scoffed immediately. “Nothing is fucking nice about meeting a village poor boy like you.”

Dustin didn’t react. “Okay.”

“You wouldn’t even leave her alone and now you’ve followed her here too,” she snapped.

Dustin tilted his head slightly. “She is here?”

Lizzy laughed like he had said something stupid. “Look at you pretending to be ignorant. If she isn’t here, then what is a rag man like you doing here?”

Dustin glanced at the building. “I came to shop.”

That made her laugh even louder.

“Do you even know what this place is?” she asked. “You can’t even enter without a membership card. Do you have one?”

Dustin shook his head. “No.”

Lizzy pointed at him like she had won. “Exactly. You didn’t come here to shop. You came here to harass my friend. Now get your stinky self away from here.”

She turned sharply to the guards at the entrance. “Don’t let him in. He is here to cause trouble.”

Without waiting, she walked inside after scanning her membership on a tablet held by one of the guards. The doors slid open and she disappeared in, still hissing under her breath.

One of the guards stepped forward immediately.

“Sir, please step back. Without a membership card, you cannot enter.”

Dustin sighed lightly, then stepped aside.

He took out his phone and called Fred again.

“You know 1+ Boutique?” Dustin asked. “Owned by General Wilson.”

“Yes, Young Master,” Fred replied instantly.

Dustin continued calmly. “Within two minutes, I want to be in their membership system.”

There was no hesitation. “Understood.”

Within a minute, Fred called back.

“Already done, Young Master. You are on the VVIP list. You don’t even need a card to enter.”

General Wilson was hus loyal subordinate and he knew he owned this Boutique that was the reason he was here in the first place.

Dustin ended the call and walked back to the entrance.

The guards blocked him again.

“You need to step back,” one said firmly. “No card, no entry.”

Dustin looked at them calmly. “Check your system. Dustin Quinn.”

The guard frowned. “Stop joking and move aside. look at your dress i'm even a better person than you”

The second guard, less patient, already opened the tablet. He typed the name in casually, expecting nothing.

Then he froze.

His eyes widened.

He tapped the screen again, confused, then showed it to his partner.

Dustin Quinn.

VVIP MEMBER.

Status: CEO CLEARED.

Authorization Level: Highest Tier Access.

The first guard’s face changed instantly. “No… this can’t be right.”

The second guard swallowed hard. “This… this man has authority to sack staff.”

Silence hit the entrance.

The first guard’s legs gave way slightly and he dropped to his knees immediately.

“Sir… please forgive me. I was just… I was just tripping.”

    "I want to invite to this table of honor... my dearest wife."Dustin’s deep voice boomed through the high-end speakers, echoing off the marble pillars of the City Royal Garden.Instantly, Serena’s face froze. The cool smile she had been wearing while talking to Chief Collins vanished, replaced by an absolute wave of hot rage and deep hatred for Dustin. Her eyes narrowed into tiny slits as she stared up at the high VVIP pavilion. She turned sharply to face Lydia, her chest heaving with anger."How could he still do this, Lydia?" Serena whispered furiously, her teeth gritted so tightly her jaw ached. "After all the strict warnings I gave him this morning in the bedroom? Why is he doing this to me?"Lydia scoffed loudly, her face twisting into an expression of pure disgust as she glared up at Dustin. "Because he is just a crazy, shameless asshole, Serena! He has completely lost his mind! He probably thinks this tiny bit of weird luck and this temporary moment will last forever. He is

    Every single person in the grand City Royal Garden fully believed Commander Calvin’s announcement. They completely obeyed Dustin’s commands as the acting God of War for the night, treating him with the highest level of royal respect. The elite guards stood like a stone wall around his VVIP table, keeping the crowd at a distance.With the absolute tension vibrating through the air, Ferdinand, Lydia, and Serena eventually got separated from each other in the massive venue. Because it was a gathering of the global elite, they each found themselves wandering through the beautiful garden, meeting people of great influence. They spent time chatting, exchanging warm pleasantries, and discussing high-level business ideas with international merchants and wealthy dignitaries.But despite the luxury around him, Ferdinand was not happy at all. He could not swallow the fact that Dustin was sitting on the highest throne as the representative of the God of War. He felt an intense knot of anxiet

    The crowd began to whisper frantically among themselves in deep confusion."A representative?" Ferdinand murmured, looking around blindly. "Who could it be? It must be my father! Or maybe a top politician!""How can the God of War send someone who isn't even a high-ranking general to take his supreme place?" Lydia whispered, her eyes wide with curiosity.Everyone stood frozen in absolute shock, their eyes darting around the VIP section, waiting for a massive billionaire name to be called.Commander Calvin adjusted the microphone, his eyes locking directly onto the spot where the Earnshaw family was standing.A cold, powerful smile crossed the commander's lips as he shouted the final name into the microphone."Mr. Dustin! You have been officially summoned by the supreme God of War to step up to the high stage and represent his crown tonight!"Then a soft, tender smile slowly spread across Dustin’s face. He stood completely relaxed, genuinely amused by how perfectly the cover plan was p

    She pulled out the key fob to the magnificent Bugatti Tourbillon and pressed the unlock button. The sleek butterfly doors glided upward smoothly.Serena slid into the driver's seat, and her face instantly popped with a cool, excited smile. The entire luxurious leather interior of the multi-million dollar car was customized in her absolute favorite color—ocean blue. The steering wheel felt like pure power in her hands. She started the monstrous engine, which let out a roaring, thunderous purr, and drove out of the Earnshaw gates like a true queen of the city.As she navigated the highway, she immediately put a hands-free call through to Ferdinand and Lydia so they could all meet up at the entrance of the City Royal Garden.Twenty minutes later, Serena pulled up to the breathtaking gates of the Royal Garden. The entire perimeter was heavily locked down by elite military soldiers in polished uniforms. Valets were rushing around, parking rolls of Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and heavily arm

    One full week had passed by quickly since the wild drama at the empire dinner, and the high-profile case involving the Vice President of the country was still raging on in the news.Deep inside his private room at the Earnshaw villa, Dustin was standing by the window, holding his encrypted phone tightly to his ear. He was speaking in a low, sharp, and highly authoritative voice to the man on the other side of the line."Do not worry about the media pressure, sir," Dustin said, his eyes scanning the quiet courtyard outside. "My men are already sorting out the false evidence. I will get back to you with a full update soon, Your Excellency."What Dustin didn't realize was that he had forgotten to fully click the bedroom door shut. It was left just an inch open.Right at that exact moment, Serena was walking down the hallway, her heels clicking softly on the floor. She paused right outside his room when she heard the deep tone of his voice. Her ears perked up, and her eyes went wide wi

    The heavy glass doors of the Earnshaw villa swung open, and the moment Serena and her mother stepped out onto the wide, paved driveway, they both froze in their tracks.Bathed in the bright morning sunlight were three jaw-dropping, magnificent hypercars parked in a perfect, gleaming row. The first was a Bugatti Tourbillon, a breathtaking masterpiece of automotive engineering that looked like a rolling crown jewel. The second was the ultra-rare, sculpted Pagani Utopia, a vehicle that looked more like an expensive piece of art than a machine. The third was a custom-spec Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, designed strictly for breaking speed barriers.The sight was absolutely blinding. Instantly, the foggy hangover in Serena’s mind cleared, and she remembered the wild shopping spree from the dealership the previous afternoon. These were the exact cars Dustin had bought using the unlimited black card.Dustin walked past them calmly, running his fingers along the smooth, aerodynamic hood of the
