Dustin frowned when he heard that. “What? You’re not selling it? Are you worried I won’t be able to afford it?” Timothy’s face darkened. “Sir, the man before you is a criminal guilty of the most heinous crimes. Meanwhile, this gentleman is an accomplished young man from a respected family with great position and power. I think you surely know who you should sell it to, right?” Elisa said meaningfully. Howard shot her an icy glance. “The Sorensen family has never much cared for background or power, only the measure of a man.” Howard did not give in. Elisa was so mad that she was heaving. “If you want an old ingredient of the Sorensen family, then you must be able to pass the Sorensen family’s challenge to get it,” Howard said slowly. “What kind of challenge?” Both Dustin and Timothy asked at the same time. “Come with me.” Howard walked into the Sorensen family villa’s grounds, and Dustin quickly followed him. “Stand guard at all points outside. Don’t let Fox e

How was it that this pathway could only be walked by sovereign grade fighters? Timothy and Elisa were distraught. Timothy had always been considered a prodigy and praised for his achievements. He was stricken by the fact that he did not meet the minimum requirement for this test. “If Timothy can’t try, how can Dustin? What’s going on? Don’t tell me he’s a sovereign grade fighter!” Elisa said angrily. The moment Elisa said that, Timothy froze. Elisa herself went stiff after she realized what she had said. They looked at Dustin in disbelief. Could it be that Dustin was a sovereign grade fighter? Elisa did not have a good idea of the grades in the martial world. All she knew was that a sovereign grade fighter was very powerful. Even though she had seen Dustin fight many times, she never thought that he might be that powerful. Since most people who fought Dustin were taken down in just one strike, Elisa could never really tell how strong Dustin was. It was only at

At that moment, Timothy was completely exhausted. He did not have an ounce of energy left in his body. “What a terrifying knife!” he muttered. He was still reeling from fear. He finally understood the horror and danger of that pathway. “It’s your turn, kid,” Howard said. Dustin walked onto the path confidently. Elisa and Timothy stared at his feet. They wanted to see Dustin scream and get hurt. They wanted him to suffer the same fate, if not worse, than Timothy. Yet, Dustin moved steadily onward and did not look at all distressed. After he took his first step, he continued on with the second and third steps. Timothy gritted his teeth. His nails dug into his palms. The difference between them was obvious to see. He had been so conceited. When he had taken a single step onto the pathway, he had been repelled and seriously injured. Meanwhile, Dustin had easily taken three steps down. They were not on the same level. Howard observed Dustin’s steps in

The day after his visit to the Sorensen family villa, Dustin fed Irene the antidote. After monitoring her condition, Dustin frowned. He had to find the final ingredient quickly. If he failed, Irene would soon slip into a vegetative state fully. “I want to go out for a walk. I’ve been lying down for days. I feel like I’m rotting,” Irene said with a bitter smile. “Sure. I’ll go with you,” Dustin said. Irene was thrilled. She got up and got dressed. When women claimed they wanted to go for a walk, they usually meant shopping. Irene was no different. Irene dragged Dustin straight to Lannopolis’s largest mall. At that moment, the leader of Hell Hall, the King of Hades himself, had become a mere tool for carrying shopping bags. The West family had fallen a long time ago, so they were not exactly wealthy. Irene had been brought up well, so she was not extravagant. Although she bought a lot of stuff, they were not expensive. Dustin noticed all of this. When they lef

Dustin’s adoptive father had been a formidable man. It would not be surprising even if one of the Seven Clans of Central Harbor pledged themselves in service of the Wyatt family, let alone a prominent family in Lannopolis. “Fox, if something happens to Phoebe, I’ll make sure you die painfully!” Jaxon said threateningly. “You don’t have what it takes to threaten me,” Dustin said flatly. Jaxon’s gaze turned vicious. He was about to rush forward and grab Dustin’s collar. Elisa paled and pulled Jaxon back. Dustin was a sovereign grade fighter, and Jaxon could not beat him. “What’s this? Are you here to shop for clothes, too?” Elisa looked into the boutique. It seemed like she had found to attack him in at least one aspect. Her expression turned mocking. “Dustin, you should know that this boutique isn’t a place for just anyone to shop at. Every item of clothing inside is exorbitantly priced. It’s not something most people can afford. “Maybe you’re at the wrong place? You

“Let me help you look.” Seeing that Irene was taking a long time to choose something, Dustin went to help her. Irene watched as Dustin looked around. On the surface, she seemed unaffected, but anxiety twisted her insides into a knot. She was terrified that Dustin would choose something very expensive, and they would not be able to afford it. Elisa and Jaxon watched from the side. They were just waiting for Dustin and Irene to embarrass themselves. Luckily, Dustin was considerate and did not linger on the clothing that was overly expensive. Dustin took a long time to find something he liked. He did not feel like buying something along this price range. “What are you two doing? You won’t be able to find anything cheap even if you look through the entire boutique. There’s no need to force it if you can’t afford to shop here. What’s the point of going into debt just for your pride?” Elisa said with a smirk. “Enough. There’s no need to keep faking it on my account. It’s

Jaxon Chandler turned around, glanced at Irene, and shook his head. This beautiful woman was with Dustin, who was destined for ruin. If she was with him, she would not need to endure such humiliation. “Dustin, why don’t we just return the dress?” Irene whispered. “Why should we? It’s just around seven hundred thousand dollars.” Dustin smiled. “This is only a fraction of the cost of the Verdigris Emerald.” He wanted to tell Irene that seven hundred thousand dollars was nothing. He had been willing to give her that rare Verdigris Emerald. Why would he feel distressed for seven hundred thousand dollars? But Irene still felt uneasy. The Verdigris Emerald was just a jewel. It did not have the same impact as losing cold hard cash. Seven hundred thousand for a dress seemed overly extravagant to her and lacked real meaning. “Why? Do you not like this dress?” asked Dustin and smiled at her as he looked in the direction where Elisa and Jaxon had disappeared. “Didn’t they say th

Dustin looked calm as he led Irene upstairs while being watched by the service assistant. He was composed, but Irene was not. At this time, Irene’s emotions were in turmoil. She was overwhelmed with shock and excitement. The membership of this clothing store was a symbol of status. Many people wanted to be members here, but they did not have the right qualifications.Irene knew that the descendants of the families in Lannopolis wanted to become a VIP here because it would be something to brag about. It was so hard to get recognized, but how did Dustin achieve that? Why would he own the symbol of status? The Panther Gang was powerful, but its underground status was not recognized by Yara Couture, which cared about its reputation. Even the leader of the Panther Gang could not get a VIP membership here. “How… How are you a VIP here?” Irene asked softly.“I have got lots of memberships,” Dustin said. “I have countless memberships in high-end internet cafes and restaurants.”
