Chapter 282

Author: Autumn Rain
John Donner was a name synonymous with power and fear in Grayvale. He was a renowned martial artist who had reached the esteemed sovereign grade.

His reputation spanned decades, and his influence on Grayvale was absolute. He was simply known as Master Donner.

John was not just a man of influence. He was an untouchable force. Whether in legitimate circles or the underground, there was no one who dared to disrespect him.

As his arrival at the Riley family villa drew near, the atmosphere grew heavy. It was suffused with an invisible pressure that seemed to pierce through the walls. It was suffocating, like a tangible aura of dominance that preceded the man himself.

When John finally stepped into the villa, Dustin could hear his deliberate breathing. Each breath was perfectly measured.

It was a hallmark of a martial artist grandmaster. It was a breathing technique designed to amplify strength with every step. John was building his power with each step, and his potential devas

    “Security guard? A servant? Ha! Do you even know who he really is?” The crowd exchanged puzzled glances. “Who... is he?” John’s gaze sharpened and cut through the tension like a blade. “Twenty years ago, the prestigious Fox family of Grayvale was annihilated overnight. It was said that no one survived. But later, it was discovered that a son and daughter managed to escape. The bloodline of the Fox family endured, and he is the surviving son.” Shock rippled through the room. The Fox family massacre had long been shrouded in mystery. Those who knew of it understood that probing too deeply would invite disaster. Few had ever imagined that any Fox family member had survived. But Dustin, far from lying low, had boldly stepped back into the very city where his family met its end. Was he reckless or just trying to die? Shawna looked at Dustin with a mix of emotions. The quiet and seemingly unassuming security guard she had brought along had such a devastating p

    John was a Legendary Martial Saint. When someone of his caliber reached near-perfect condition, the destructive power they could unleash would be terrifying. At this moment, Dustin was like prey locked in the sights of a hunter. He would be taken down at any second. “A Martial Saint in action? That brat doesn’t stand a chance,” someone muttered. “He’s dead for sure! Good riddance!” The Riley family members sneered. Archie smirked in anticipation. With Dustin out of the picture, no one could stop him from marrying Maisie. Standing in the center of the hall, John fixed his piercing gaze on Dustin. There was a flicker of admiration in his eyes. “The surviving descendant of the Fox family... To have reached such a level at your age is remarkable. At your age, I was far weaker… “I am the leader of Honora’s martial arts community. I owe the General of the West a favor, and he has tasked me with killing you today. Since you are a young man, I will grant you the courte

    A flash of cold steel swept through the air. John’s eyes bulged in shock as he stumbled backward and clutched his neck. Blood gushed persistently from his throat. Thud. Thud. Thud. After a few unsteady steps, he collapsed lifelessly to the floor. His eyes were wide open in disbelief, even in death. “He killed him!” The Riley family members turned pale and trembled uncontrollably. Archie’s face twisted and turned into a sickly shade of purple. Dustin did not even look at John’s corpse. The moment John stepped into the Riley family villa with orders to kill him, his fate had been sealed. “Hell Guards, remove him,” Dustin said flatly. Three shadowy figures emerged as if conjured from the very air. Without a word, they efficiently dealt with John’s body. This was the home of Shawna and her mother, and Dustin did not want to make them feel uneasy. Otherwise, he would not have bothered with the body. Their practiced movements chilled everyone to the bone.

    “My Liege, I’ve confirmed it. The Bloodveil Orchid is within the McCall family villa, located in Grayvale,” a Hell Guard said respectfully to Dustin at the security booth outside the Creative Arts Corporation building. Yesterday’s tension at the Riley family villa ended on an oddly subdued note. Though Shawna remained suspicious, she chose not to press the matter. Dustin had since resumed his unassuming role as a security guard. The Bloodveil Orchid was an extra ingredient needed to make the antidote to Irene’s poisoning. “The McCall family keeps a low profile, but they’re rumored to have ties with a top figure in Central Harbor… “Jonathan McCall has been bedridden for years and relies on rare and potent herbs to cling to life. The Bloodveil Orchid is such a rare herb that is brought in specifically for his treatment.” Dustin frowned. Someone dependent on the flower to sustain his life would hardly give it up. “Regardless, the flower must be secured,” Dustin said

    “Who says fame is the only measure of medical skill? You’ve invited the most renowned physicians for years, haven’t you? Yet, has anyone even been able to cure Mr. McCall?” “You little brat, are you looking for trouble?” the gatekeeper snapped. “Do you know where you are, kid? This isn’t a place for your antics. Get lost!” barked one of the physicians nearby. He was clearly insulted by the insinuation. Dustin’s face darkened. His patience was hanging by a thread when a melodic voice suddenly interjected, “Let him in.” Heads turned as a striking young woman appeared, and she walked gracefully toward them. Dressed in an ethereal white silk gown that seemed to float around her, she exuded an otherworldly beauty that was almost unreal. Her serene and refined demeanor set her apart, as if she were a goddess descended to the mortal world. Dustin immediately understood that this must be Allison McCall, the fabled beauty of the McCall family. “Miss Allison, this brat is no

    Dustin’s skills amazed everyone in the hall. A Legendary Martial Saint in his early twenties was explosive news anywhere in Lovellia. “What? A Legendary Martial Saint?” Just as Allison entered the hall, she happened to see Dustin severely injure the ninth grade middle-aged martial artist. Her eyes instantly lit up. Upon hearing the elder’s shocked cry, her mouth slightly parted in disbelief. The McCall family was a low-profile martial arts family. She was a martial artist herself, and with exceptional talent, she had already reached the seventh grade. This placed her among the top young talents in Lovellia. But she was instantly overshadowed when compared to this man. Allison found it hard to believe that someone almost the same age as her had reached the Legendary Martial Saint level. She could not help but grow more curious about Dustin. ‘I knew it. He must be someone extraordinary,’ Allison thought. She felt glad that she had invited him in. “Sir, may I

    “Allow me to introduce Dr. Fustin Dox,” Allison said quickly. “Never heard of him. Is he famous?” Gareth said dismissively. He barely spared Dustin a glance as he sipped his tea. Arthur, who was seated nearby, leaned toward Allison and said in a low voice, “Allison, Mr. Graves is a living legend in medicine. He’s practically a national treasure. How could you seat a complete nobody beside him? Aren’t you worried about offending him?” “But that young man isn’t ordinary…” Allison hesitated. “Not ordinary? Compared to Mr. Graves? Nonsense! Not just anyone deserves to sit with him,” Arthur said coldly as his face darkened. Allison felt trapped. Her mind raced for a solution. She resolved to ask Dustin if he would mind moving to allow Gareth his rightful place of honor. Just as she was about to speak, Dustin’s voice rang out unexpectedly. “Who is this ‘Mr. Graves’? Sounds like an inflated title. Is he even a big deal?” His words stunned everyone into silence. Allis

    “Guards! Arrest him and take him to the West Prison!” With a brisk command from Arthur, armored soldiers stormed into the McCall family villa. His fury burned bright. Punishing Dustin was the only thing that could quell it. “Mr. Arthur,” Allison said hastily in a pleading voice. “Would you grant our family some leniency and set this matter aside for now? My grandfather is gravely ill, and without treatment, he might not survive…” Reluctantly, Arthur relented. “Fine. But once Mr. Graves cures your grandfather, he’s a dead man.” He shot Dustin a venomous glare, and his voice dripped with menace. Dustin did not even flinch. “Please, follow me.” Allison led the group toward her grandfather’s room. The atmosphere inside was heavy with despair. Jonathan lay motionless on the bed. He was barely clinging to life. His breaths were faint and labored. Anyone could see he was days, if not hours, from the brink of death. It was no wonder Allison had risked her future in d

    The Yeager family members looked at each other at a loss.What the hell was the CEO doing? Everything was so elusive and confusing. They were unhappy, but they dared not show it. While they remained silent, Dustin slowly sipped his red wine, picked up a napkin, and wiped his mouth. “No signing,” he said indifferently. The Yeager family members looked over at him.“What did you say?!” Zack yelled at him with a dark face. Why was he speaking?Did he even have the right to speak? It was an extremely important collaboration. Even if Terry was protecting him, Zack could not care less. Dustin must be out of his mind since he dared to interrupt such an important discussion. “Shut up! This isn’t your place to speak!” Percy shouted. The Yeager family members were furious. They were afraid that Dustin’s reckless words would ruin the deal. “You think just because you say, ‘no signing,’ it’ll be done? Do you think you’re the CEO of Duscia Corporation?!” Damien yelled at him. He

    “What’s going on with our great-grandfather? Dustin is not even related to our family. How can he treat him better than us?”A few members of the Yeager family stood on the side awkwardly while watching Dustin and the others chatting happily. Damien whispered in dissatisfaction. They could not bear the sight of this, and they felt very resentful.“Stop talking!” Warren snapped.“Don’t worry, he won’t remain so arrogant for long. Dad favors him. So? In this society, ability speaks louder than anything else,” Zack said in a low voice. “A man who lives off an inheritance without a proper job… even if he has some luck and inheritance, he’ll squander it away in no time. Then, he’ll struggle to get by. Dad will see the truth in time.“Besides, who knows how long Dad can stay conscious? Do you really think that kid can make Dad young again? I don’t believe in such an absurd thing.“Dad is already very old. We should just go along with this for now. They’re lucky they get to hang around

    Dustin did not say anything. Terry was smart indeed. Zack and the others were blinded by the lure of great benefits. A while later, some voices were heard. It meant that the guest had arrived. Percy led Adrian inside. “Dad, this is Mr. Adrian Pierce, the general manager of Duscia Corporation. We always communicated with him about the collaboration,” said Warren as an introduction.Terry nodded, and he looked closely at Adrian. “This young man is not someone ordinary.” His eyes gleamed sharply as he recognized Adrian’s extraordinary presence. Different people, depending on their status and identity, carried themselves with different temperaments. When Terry was young, he used to work in Summerdale and meet many upper-class people. Adrian’s temperament was on par with the young heirs of Summerdale. “I’m Adrian Pierce. It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Yeager.” Adrian walked to Terry and bowed respectfully.This shocked the Yeager family. Adrian had such a high status, but he

    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

    “The Tonra family sent me here to prepare to take over Hattan. We will start from the market in Hattan before we develop the market in the south. The future profits are immensely worthwhile. I’m determined to build a huge business kingdom. “Honestly, these families in Hattan are just so-so. I don’t take them seriously at all. But Duscia Corporation is fine. You just invested a hefty 2 billion right off the bat. That’s quite impressive.” Crispin smiled. “I came from the Southwestern region. I didn’t bring many workers, so we’re lacking some manpower. You’re an expert. Why don’t you work for me? I’ll make it worth your while. How about it?” He confidently offered a job to Dustin and waited for his response. Dustin stared at him calmly. “Regardless of your background, you look quite ambitious to me, but you don’t have sufficient capabilities. Hattan has limited you. If you work for me, your future will be promising!” Adrian found that amusing. Such rich spoiled brats were

    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

    “I find it all quite interesting. This Duscia Corporation, this fake rich kid… Let’s go take a look.” “Yes, sir.” At around 2 p.m., the Lamborghini stopped at the entrance of Duscia Corporation. The young man walked into the building with his driver. “Hello, sir. How can I help you?” the receptionist asked. “This is the son of the Tonra family of Articora. Have the person in charge of your company come and welcome him,” the driver announced loudly. “Do you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked with a smile. “What?” The young man, Crispin Tonra, immediately frowned. “What kind of receptionist are you? Haven’t you heard of the Tonra family of Articora? Mr. Tonra of the ultra-rich Tonra family doesn’t need an appointment to come to your company. Go and tell your boss about his arrival. Have the person in charge rush over here to welcome Mr. Tonra,” yelled the driver at the receptionist. “I’m sorry. The person in charge of our company is very busy. All guests mu

    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

    A life like that would be worse than anything. To put it crudely, it would be a luxury for Kendall to be able to kill himself. This was the consequence of daring to hurt Patricia. Dustin went to stand before Patricia and reached out to touch the red veil surrounding her. With a plop, the light burst like a bubble, and Patricia landed on the floor. “Dustin,” Patricia called. She threw herself into Dustin’s embrace. She cried softly as she held onto Dustin tightly. “You’re alright,” Dustin said comfortingly as he patted her on the back. Patricia did not speak. She clung to Dustin without letting go. She had just realized that she could not live without Dustin in her life. Before that moment, she had been so worried about Dustin and wanted him to leave without coming in. It would not have mattered if she had died because of it. She finally understood. She had long accepted Dustin into her heart. After a long time in Dustin’s embrace, Patricia finally cal
