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.”

    It was a brand new day in Winchester, right inside the grand conference hall of the presidential villa.Ronald had called an emergency meeting with his closest cabals and every syndicate boss controlling the city’s underground. The air in the room was cold, thick, and suffocating. Ronald was terrified, humiliated, and bitterly unhappy about the catastrophic failure that had taken place the day before.Around the massive dark oak table sat the most powerful and corrupt figures in the nation: Vice President Ronald, Director Arthur Vance, Senator Raymond, Chief Collins, Ferdinand, a battered Christopher with severe bruises covering his face, and several other underground syndicate leaders."Look at us!" Ronald slammed his fist onto the table, his voice echoing against the walls. "Look at this table! I have been beaten, humiliated, and shamed throughout this past week—and especially yesterday!

Immediately, the Vice President walked in with four armed guards, expecting to see the prisoners suffering.Instead, Ronald froze in complete shock. He saw that there was a secret door opened inside the wall of the room, and only Chris was left in chains, bloody and tied to the chair."WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" Ronald shrieked at the top of his lungs, his eyes bulging out. "WHERE ARE MY PRISONERS?!"He rushed forward and quickly removed the duct tape from Chris’s mouth with a sharp jerk."They betrayed me!" Chris choked out instantly, coughing up blood. "My own men... they took money and opened the door!""FOLLOW THEM!" Ronald immediately screamed to his guards. "MOVE!"The Vanguard soldiers rushed into the opened pathway,

  • Bullets on Grave, Chapter 196

    Meanwhile, back at the Winchester Memorial Cemetery, the storm had reached its absolute peak. Lightning flashed across the dark sky, illuminating the ten Vanguard soldiers standing around the extracted oak coffin. "We can't wait for a code from the Villa!" one of the Vanguard soldiers yelled over the thunder. "The Vice President wants this open NOW!" The casket was made of extremely high-density oak wood, heavily reinforced and coated in solid brass and gem metals. One of the soldiers bent down, running his gloved hand over the thick brass edges. He shook his head in genuine awe. "Whoever planned this casket really did a great job..." "Cut the talk!" another soldier snapped, lifting a heavy iron crowbar. "We have to break this open! Help me wedge the bar under the brass seal!" "HOLD!" the squad commander shouted, stepping between them and holding up his hand. "We are decoding this properly! Call the technical unit at base to hack into the coffin's internal circuit and force it op

  • The Dead man’s Lock, Chapter 195

    Inside the dark torture room, Christopher burst back through the door. His face was pale, slick with cold sweat. He turned straight to his two gang members, then looked directly at Matt and Master Fred."Listen to me!" Christopher whispered rapidly, his eyes wild with pressure. "We have a change of plans. We are busting out of here!"His two gang members stared at him in absolute shock. "Boss, are you insane?! The Vanguard guards are everywhere outside!""Shut up and listen!" Christopher snapped. "There's a hidden passage right behind that back wall! We take these two, we go through the pipes, and we clear out!"Matt looked at Master Fred, wide-eyed. "Master Fred... what is he talking about?""Keep quiet, kid," Fred muttered, watching Christopher closely. "He's taking a bait."Meanwhile, miles away at the Winchester Memorial Cemetery, the heavy rain continued to hammer down against the dark soil.The ten Vanguard soldiers deployed by Ronald arrived in full tactical formation.

He leaned back, crossing his legs as he stared at the tied-up men with a sharp, calculating glint in his eyes."This is like a chess game," Christopher spoke, his voice cool and deliberate. "Where even the pawn can kill a king... or choose to make a king attacked. I am a pawn in two worlds, and you know this, Master Fred."Master Fred raised his bruised head slightly.
