Chapter 186

Author: Autumn Rain
Irene felt a little uneasy.

She thought that Dustin had gone a bit too far with his words.

How could anything compare to the 30 million dollars Verdigris Emerald ring?

“It’s just Verdigris Emerald. Why do you act like you’ve never seen anything like this before?” Dustin asked with a soft smile.

“Coincidentally, one of my men recently unearthed a piece of these from the North Pole and sent it to me. I find the color too overwhelming, so I’ll just give it to her.”

He nonchalantly reached into his pocket and pulled out a small pouch. He handed it over to Irene. “Nothing too special. You can do whatever you want with it.”

Irene hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take the pouch.

She did not open it right away as she was worried that whatever was inside might not be worth much.

“Why are you hesitating, Irene? Afraid to embarrass yourself?” Phoebe sneered.

“Go on, open it. Don’t just stare at it,” Dustin said flatly.

With a deep breath, Irene finally ope

    Aaron skulked off to a corner in defeat and dejection. If he kept pushing, he would only humiliate himself further. With nothing else to do, he slumped into a chair and sullenly sipped a drink. Before long, Phoebe sidled up to him. “What do you want? Here to rub it in? Beat it!” Aaron snapped coldly. Phoebe’s face darkened. She was clearly unimpressed by his sulking. “Oh, don’t take it out on me just because you’re a loser!” she said with a sneer. “Honestly, you’ve spent four years chasing after Irene like a lovesick fool, and has she even once spared you a glance? You’ve embarrassed yourself and everyone in our circle!” She crossed her arms. Her voice dripped with disdain. “Have you forgotten who you are? You’re the heir to the Burke family! What happened to your pride? Did you leave it at the bottom of your whiskey glass?” Phoebe’s rant only deepened Aaron’s scowl. “If I were you, Irene would’ve been mine ages ago,” she said with a mocking smile. “It’s just a

    Irene felt relieved that Aaron seemed to have let things go and raised her glass to drink with him. After just two drinks, her head began to spin. Seated across from her, Dustin appeared to be losing his clarity too. He swayed slightly in his seat. Seeing this, Aaron and Phoebe dropped their facade entirely. “Irene, you idiot! Did you really think I wanted to make peace with you? As if you’re even worth it!” Phoebe sneered. “What… what are you saying?” Irene’s heart sank as unease crept in. “You walked right into this. No hesitation, no questions. Honestly, you’re pathetic. Serves you right to lose your virginity tonight!” Phoebe taunted viciously as her eyes brimmed with malice. “Aaron, what are you waiting for? Haven’t you wanted her for years? Here’s your chance to finally get what you want!” she spat with venom. Aaron stood and yanked his shirt off. His gaze was fixated coldly on Irene’s beautifully vulnerable figure. “Four years, Irene. Four years of cha

    “What? How is this possible?!” Both Phoebe and Aaron froze in shock. Their eyes darted toward the couch. Dustin was sitting there and was wide awake. His piercing gaze locked onto them, which sent a chill down their spines. They were in panic and disbelief. “You drank two glasses… How can you still be fine?” Phoebe stammered as she pointed at Dustin. Her voice trembled. The drug she had slipped into his drink was so strong that it was nearly impossible to obtain. She had spiked his drink with her own hand and watched him down it. How could he possibly be unaffected? “You didn’t drink the wine?!” Aaron said as his face twisted in frustration. “I did,” Dustin said nonchalantly. “But the drug’s too weak. It couldn’t even give me the slightest buzz.” Their faces paled. Their disbelief turned to shock. That drug was infamous for its potency. It was anything but weak. Little did they know that Dustin’s body had long become immune to toxins. Seeing him unh

    Irene’s beauty and figure were absolutely flawless. She was the kind of woman none of these men had ever laid eyes on before. “Boys, tonight’s our lucky night!” the Crimson Gang members murmured in excitement. Their faces lit up with greedy anticipation. They did not care about Dustin or Irene. But they failed to notice the calm demeanor of the two sitting on the couch. Neither of them showed the slightest sign of fear. They were unnervingly composed. Dustin sat back and watched the unfolding scene with an air of detached amusement. “All right! No need to wait any longer. Let’s get this done,” said Aaron as he waved a hand dismissively. “Remember,” Pete said with a sinister grin, “cripple him, don’t kill him. Got it?” “Got it!” the men responded. Their malicious laughter filled the room as they approached Dustin. Dustin chuckled. The moment they got close, he sprang into action. In an instant, his energy surged and filled the room with an almost palpable force. Few p

    Dustin held the final bullet delicately between his fingers. His eyes shone with a mocking glint as he gazed at the three trembling people before him. “So,” he said in a calm and icy voice, “who do you think deserves this one?” The three of them were paralyzed with fear. They trembled like leaves in the wind. Dustin casually pointed his finger toward Phoebe. She immediately fell to the floor. “It’s him! He’s the one who planned it all! I was just manipulated into following along!” Phoebe screamed and pointed an accusing finger at Aaron. “You—!” Aaron’s eyes widened in rage and disbelief. “It was her! It was all her idea! She planned everything!” he screeched. The two began to hurl insults at one another. In moments of life and death, human nature revealed itself. By the looks of it, it was nothing but a vicious display of mutual betrayal. Dustin shifted his aim toward Pete. Overwhelmed by terror, the man immediately dropped to his knees and bowed before Dustin. “

    The leader of the Panther Gang was an individual of fearsome standing and influence… Yet he had arrived at a single phone call from Dustin. The implications of this were far too terrifying. “Mr. Fox, what are your orders for me?” asked Blake as he bowed respectfully. This scene left the three people frozen in shock. Their hearts pounded in their chests. Who was this man? What kind of person could command such respect from someone like the leader of the Panther Gang? Even a fool could see that Dustin was someone to be feared. Aaron and Phoebe almost passed out from sheer terror, especially Phoebe. She could not wrap her head around how Irene had found herself a date like him. First, he demonstrated world-class dance skills. Then, he casually pulled out a Verdigris Emerald the size of a goose egg. Next thing you know, with a single phone call, he had summoned the leader of the Panther Gang to act at his command… Did someone like this even exist in Lannopolis? “Bla

    In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. It was the last day of the deadline Dustin had given Bianca. “My Liege, we have located your father’s remains,” said a Hell Guard in the West family villa. “Take me there.” Dustin immediately moved out after receiving the news. Half an hour later, he met with a disheveled old man. “Back in the day, when the Fox family was destroyed, your adoptive father arrived too late. He was the one who collected your father’s body and buried it. He buried the remains somewhere no one could find. He found someone and paid him handsomely to keep vigil at your father’s grave… ” said the Hell Guard slowly. “However, after the patriarch of the Wyatt family passed, no one went to maintain the grave plot. The gravekeeper also started to stray from his post. Weeds grew rampant around the grave. Not long ago, Bianca Winter visited the gravekeeper and bought him off. The gravekeeper exhumed your father’s remains and gave his skull to her. The rest of

    Dustin got up from the chair. His gaze was icy. Bianca’s face darkened. She was displeased. “Don’t you know the trouble you’re in? You really want to die?” she asked icily. Then, she looked at one of her underlings. “Go. Beat some sense into him.” The fighter then walked toward Dustin and was ready to make his move. Dustin impatiently waved his hand. The fighter clutched his neck, which was suddenly bleeding, and he collapsed on the floor. Bianca’s face turned as white as a sheet. “That’s impossible! How can you still kill?” Her eyes widened in shock. Logically, a fighter poisoned with the Decina Neutralizing Fragrance would not even have the strength to move, let alone kill. Besides, the Winter family’s fighter that she had sent to attack Dustin was not weak. He was a seventh grade fighter. Yet, Dustin had killed him with just one move. It looked like it had not even taken much effort. Bianca could not understand how Dustin had done it. “Could it be… you

    On the way home, Patricia did not say anything and drove quietly. “Patricia, do you want to go back to the Yeager family?” Dustin asked. Patricia wanted to speak up but hesitated. “Since I left with you in the first place, whatever you decide, I’ll support you.” Dustin could tell that while she said that, she still wanted to go back to the Yeager family. “My great-grandfather is fine now because of you. I can’t ask for more,” Patricia said. “I understand how you feel.” Dustin looked at her. “But the people in the Yeager family are still the same. Even with your great-grandfather there, nothing will really change if we go back. It might be better not to go back at all.” Patricia nodded. She understood what he meant. “Don’t worry. We will go back eventually, but it’s not the right time yet. “Unless they beg us to return, there’s nothing to discuss.” Patricia sighed and did not say anything more. She knew the elders of the Yeager family were proud and stubborn. It wa

    “We should go home now.” “This is your home, isn’t it?” Terry was confused. “It’s not anymore, Mr. Terry,” Dustin said with a smile. “Patricia, we should leave,” he said to her. Patricia tensed. She did not want to leave. “What’s going on?” Terry noticed something was wrong and became solemn. He looked at Zack and the others. He knew how they usually treated Dustin, and in an instant, he could guess what had happened. Zack and the others stayed silent. They were too scared to answer. “Great-grandfather, Patricia and Dustin were kicked out of the family a long time ago,” Morgan said after a while. “What?!” Terry shouted. His face darkened with anger. “Kicked out of the family? Who did this? Who allowed it?” Terry was furious. Zack and the others dared not speak. “Dad, you just recovered. Don’t get too upset.” Zack tried to calm him. “You did this stupid thing, and you’re telling me not to be angry?! What were you thinking? How dare you kick them out of the fa

    Morgan stood next to Patricia and stared at Dustin in shock as if he did not recognize him. As Patricia’s brother, he had always looked down on Dustin and never shown him any respect. But everything that happened today had completely changed his mind. Dustin had given him an 80 million gift and casually made Terry regain his senses with just a pat. What kind of miracle was that? Such a big change was hard for him to accept. “Tricia, stop crying. I’m fine now.” Terry kindly patted Patricia’s back, and she slowly stopped crying. “Great-grandfather, I’m so glad you’re better,” she said happily. Dustin really did it. His medical skills were amazing. Since he had already proven himself so many times over, his medical abilities did not surprise her as much anymore. “Everyone, this happened suddenly, and my father still needs to rest and be examined. We’ll have to end things here for today. I’m sorry. We’ll host you all again later,” Zack said. He signaled for the guests to

    “My head feels dizzy… I think I slept for too long,” said Terry in an old and trembling voice. At that moment, everyone, including the Yeager family members and the guests, froze in shock. “W-What’s going on?” They stared in confusion at what was happening. Dustin had only patted Terry’s back lightly, yet Terry suddenly became clear-headed and aware again. He was supposed to be suffering from severe dementia and was a bedridden vegetable. What was this? “Great-grandfather!” Patricia exclaimed. She ran into Terry’s arms and burst into tears. “Tricia, my good girl,” Terry said kindly as he gently patted her head. “Why are there so many people here today? Is there something to celebrate?” Terry asked. The guests stared at him in surprise. Seeing how energetic and clear-headed he was, they could not believe he had severe dementia. Even Zack and the other Yeager family members were in disbelief, let alone the guests. The doctor had told them that Terry did not have m

    Dustin exchanged pleasantries with the guests for a while before returning to Patricia’s side. “You lied to me again.” Patricia pouted and pinched him. “Ow! How can you be so ruthless?” Dustin pulled a dramatic face and acted like he was in pain. “Hmph!” Patricia huffed. “You said we’d just bring something from an antique shop as a gift. Where did that bead come from? Did you really spend 80 million on it?” “80 million was necessary. Since they paid 150 million for it, I couldn’t go too low, right?” Dustin said. If anyone else had heard that, they would have been apoplectic. Was he listening to himself? It was sold for 150 million, and he got it for 80 million. Was he still not satisfied? Moreover, the bead was actually worth more than 150 million. It was priced that way only because other elite families had done Stanley a massive favor. “You’re going to bankrupt yourself. Half of your grandfather’s inheritance is nearly gone. What will you do next?” Patricia

    He refused. He turned down the olive branch the Yeager family extended to him. Zack’s face darkened once again. Warren and Percy glared at Dustin. They did not bother to lower themselves. They believed that offering him and Patricia some form of acceptance was a grand act of the Yeager family’s generosity. Yet he had the audacity not to reject it? Damien and Alex smiled faintly. Patricia let out a soft sigh. She had wanted to return to the Yeager family. When Zack made the offer, she had wished Dustin would agree. Unfortunately, he refused. But she did not blame Dustin. After all, receiving so much unfairness naturally left some resentment in him. Dustin returned to the banquet while Zack addressed the guests. He told them to enjoy themselves. However, his face remained icy. “Hey there, young man. I’m the head of Aurora Enterprises. It’s an honor to meet you. Cheers…” “Young man, that bead of yours is quite remarkable. Are you interested in similar items

    Dustin held the bead and stood in the center of the crowd under their stunned gazes. They were stunned by the bead’s value and its sudden appearance here. No one could comprehend how or why. A bead that had sparked a bidding war among top-tier elites in Summerdale Auction House was beyond priceless. Its value was indisputable. But had Stanley not bought it for 150 million? How had it traveled thousands of miles from the Kennedy family to a small city like Hattan? There was also the fact that Dustin claimed to have bought it for 80 million as a gift for Terry. Stanley had paid a massive price for the bead. Why would he sell it away? Even if he did sell it, why would he sell it at an amount that was not even half of its original price? It defied reason. Dustin was just a useless son-in-law of the Yeager family. How could he possibly have connections with someone of such high status? Too many unanswered questions hung in the air and left the guests bewildered. But

    “What’s wrong? Mr. Leach, do you recognize this item?” The guests crowded around. “This... It’s identical! But... it shouldn’t be here!” Brandson Leach inspected the bead over and over. His expression shifted between shock and disbelief. The members of the Yeager family were visibly unsettled. Even Zack stepped forward. “Mr. Leach, have you seen this before? Do you know its origin?” Zack asked. “I just returned from Summerdale, where I attended a major auction a few days ago,” Brandson said. “It was quite the event. Many powerful figures from top-tier families were present…” Everyone perked up and hung on his every word. “The centerpiece of the auction was a small bead. It was said to be over 2000 years old. It once belonged to an emperor known as the First Emperor! “Legend has it that the emperor carried the bead with him throughout his life. He was never sick, possessed divine strength, and could slay enemies effortlessly. Even when mortally wounded, he miraculous

    “Pfft!” Laughter erupted in the room before he even finished. He had just taken forever to unwrap a tiny bead the size of a bean and even claimed it was worth 80 million. How dare he? The price was astronomical. It far exceeded Kendall’s 50-million-dollar ancient carriage statue. No one believed him. If he had said it was worth a thousand, maybe they would have believed him. “Is this guy a complete fool? He must be here as comic relief.” “No doubt about it. He’s just here to liven up the banquet.” The entire room was mocking him. Even the Yeager family members and Kendall were stunned. They could not believe it. A bean-sized bead? This was beyond absurd. “I overestimated him,” said Kendall and sneered. This fool could not even muster the dignity to make himself look good. How could anyone compare him to Kendall? They were not even in the same league. “Idiot! As expected, he’s completely embarrassed himself,” said Damien and cursed silently. The Y
