Chapter 1066
At that moment, Gideon was unsettled. He could see that Scarlet and Dustin had known each other for a long time. Moreover, they were pretty close. In fact, they were closer than he thought. After all, Scarlet was known for being ruthless and decisive on the battlefield. She had always been that way since she was 18. She would always keep everyone at a distance, too. No one had seen her smile before, be it her family, friends, or subordinates. Right then, Scarlet was not just smiling. She was grinning. It was as if she had become a completely different person. Her current behavior was the opposite of her usual cold and aloof self. Gideon wondered if Scarlet had hit her head. Otherwise, why was she smiling? He even considered the possibility that Dustin had cast a spell to enchant her."Yup, I've sorted out the situation in Oakvale. We've killed several scapegoats as a warning. This should keep things quiet for a while," Scarlet answered truthfully. Dustin nodded wit

"We can't count on Trent anymore. So, we have to find another way now."Tyler pondered for a moment. "Find a few scapegoats and have them work on behalf of Trent. Remember, don't expose our identities." "Yes, sir!" his subordinate replied and left hurriedly."Hopefully, there won't be any more mistakes this time," Tyler muttered as he narrowed his eyes.If it weren't for Natasha's grandfather, Tyler would not be so cautious. He was indeed troublesome. Otherwise, Tyler would have taken action himself. …It was lunchtime. Dustin and Scarlet sat at a table by the window at Roseate Restaurant.They happily chatted while enjoying their meal. Halfway through, Scarlet suddenly asked solemnly, "Logan, should I kill everyone who offended you?"Upon hearing her words, Dustin did know whether to laugh or cry. "Their offense doesn't deserve a death penalty."Let them suffer a little will do. So, I suggest locking them up for a few days."An eye for an eye. Dylan deserved to die bec

"Cherusia?" Dustin perked up as soon as the word came out of Samuel's mouth. His voice raised a little as he asked, "Where is it?"After waiting anxiously for so long, he finally had a lead. This was the only missing herb. Once Dustin got his hands on Cherusia, he could refine the nine-fold Longevitum."To be honest, the Cherusia is at the Murray residence." Samuel explained, "The day after tomorrow is Christopher's birthday. Someone gave him the Cherusia as a birthday present."Mr. Rhys, whether you can get your hands on it depends on your abilities.""Okay, if the information is accurate, I'll pay you appropriately." Dustin was excited.He finally had a lead on where the Cherusia was. No matter how much it cost, Dustin was determined to get it. "There's no need for a reward. Let's go with what we agreed on previously. You owe me a favor now, Mr. Rhys."So, if I encounter any trouble in the future, I hope you'll help me.""As long as it doesn't go against my principles,

"Oh, I'm here to visit General Murray," Dustin answered with a smile. Vivian looked at him disdainfully and commented, "Hmph! What a suck-up!"Ever since the band-aid incident, she had a grudge against Dustin. But she had to admit that he was pretty skilled. That was because Vivian found out she had lung cancer after being shot and hospitalized. Fortunately, they detected the cancer in time. With Vivian's family's wealth, she got the best treatments, and her condition stabilized. Meanwhile, Sheila's attention was on Dustin. "My grandfather has gone out to attend to some matters. He won't be back for a while."Why don't you come in for coffee first? I have some questions to ask you, too."Without waiting for Dustin's response, Sheila immediately dragged him into the Murray residence. She finally got the chance to get close to him. So, Sheila would not let him go."Sheila, didn't we agree to practice horseback riding?" Vivian reminded. "Oh, you're right! I got so excited

"What?" The group turned to look in the direction of the voice. They saw a group of young men and women. The group strolled into the stable leisurely. A woman led the group. She wore a black vest and black riding boots. She was beautiful and had a slender figure. But she looked arrogant, giving off a high and mighty vibe.As they entered the stable, she held a black horse by the reins. It had a shiny coat and was magnificent. "Roxanne?" Sheila frowned at the sight of the woman. Roxanne Murray was her cousin, and she always liked to challenge Sheila.Roxanne had become more daring after Caden stepped down as head of the family. Roxanne would look for trouble every day, annoying Sheila very much."Sheila, I can't stop laughing when I heard you brag about Gale. He never loses?" Roxanne mocked.She did not hold back and continued to poke fun at Sheila. "Come on, you only won in previous years because everyone lets you."Did you think you're that good? Don't be ridiculous!"

The two women glared at each other. They did not take Jayden's words seriously. Sheila and Roxanne saddled up their horses. After putting on the gears, they led their horses to the racetrack.One horse was black, while the other was white. Both were the complete opposite. Sheila's and Roxanne's friends stood on either side, facing each other. "All the best, Sheila! I know you can win this!" Vivian cheered from the sidelines. Evan was confident, too. "Gale is a seasoned champion. He can't be compared to any other horses!" "You're right! As long as he performs as usual, he can win this!" the others said. Dustin remained silent the whole time. He was actually quietly judging the horses. He could see that Gale was indeed superior to Midnight Shadow. But of course, the rider's skill needed to be considered, too. Sheila had years of experience. As long as she made no mistakes, her chances of winning were high. On the other side, Elena asked excitedly, "Dahlia, which of the

The inertia sent Sheila flying into the air. Then she landed on the grass with a loud thud.For a moment, she felt dizzy. She looked like she was in a lot of pain. "Sheila!" The sudden turn of events shocked everyone. They hurriedly ran toward Sheila to check on her. Fortunately, she wore protective gear. Moreover, the soft grass cushioned her fall. Thus, she suffered no serious injuries and only dislocated her shoulder."Sheila, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Vivian asked, looking concerned. Evan was anxious. "Doctor! Someone get a doctor!" He was worried that she had hit her head. If that were the case, it would have been bad."Let me take a look," Jayden said as he quickly approached Sheila.After examining her, he assured everyone, "It's nothing serious. She dislocated her shoulder, that's all."He reached out and pressed his hand on Sheila's shoulder. Then he suddenly twisted it. A crisp sound was heard as the bone went back into place.Sheila let out a muffled g

Jayden raised an eyebrow, having no idea what was happening. But he could see that Elena disliked Dustin. "Since when did the Murray family have such low standards? How could someone like him enter our residence?"Hearing that, Sheila quickly explained, "Jayden, Dustin is my friend.""Friend?" Jayden sized Dustin up."Sheila, you must know that with your status and identity, not everyone can be your friend." An insurance agent was part of the lower class. To Jayden, someone like Dustin was not even fit to shine his shoes. "It's hard to say whether I'm qualified to be her friend. But I know that although you're Sheila's cousin, you're clearly not a kind person," Dustin retorted. Roxanne glared at Dustin, scolding, "How bold of you to say that! Who do you think you are? "How could you accuse my brother? Bastards like you deserve to be beaten up!"As she spoke, she lifted her whip and was about to strike Dustin. But Jayden raised his hand to stop her. Then he asked coldl
