Chapter 880
“What? You’re stepping down as the family head?” Hector’s words caused the crowd to panic. Since he became the family head, Hector worked diligently and tirelessly to manage the family. He had kept everything in order. While no one in…

“What?” Upon seeing the man, both Hector and Natasha frowned. They started to worry. “Uncle Hector, you should recognize this man, right?” Dylan walked around the attendant. “I caught this guy as he escaped with the treasures. “After a thorough…
“Nonsense!” Hector knocked away the knife offered to him. “I know Natasha very well. She would never do anything like this! There must have been a mistake!” When Hector heard that his daughter was in trouble, he immediately rushed home.…
Ruth’s urgent voice quickly came through when the call connected. “Dustin! Bad news! My sister is in trouble!” “Trouble?” Dustin furrowed his brows. “What happened?” “The family treasury has been robbed. My sister is the prime suspect. “They’re going to…
“Madam Edith!” The Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples were shocked to see Edith collapse. They surrounded her, trying everything they could to wake her up. But all their efforts were in vain due to the severity of her injurie “Hurry up…
“I will break your legs for humiliating Edith!” Letitia’s gaze turned cold. She shot toward Dustin like a ghost. As a divine–level marital artist, her skills were second only to Edith and comparable to several elders of the Jade Maiden…
It was Cornelius who saved Nikki. When Dustin yelled, Cornelius appeared in front of them instantly. He grabbed the iron whip and broke it in half. “How dare you!” “You insolent bastard!” The Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples shouted. They were…
“Stop pretending! If it weren’t because you harbored ill intentions, Edith wouldn’t have gotten hurt!” Letitia shrieked. “It wasn’t me!” Nikki shook her head repeatedly. “I didn’t do anything. I passed the Jade Maiden Scripture to Brittany right after I…
“Sorry, Dustin, I couldn’t help you.” Nikki was kneeling on the ground, feeling guilty. “I didn’t expect things to turn out that way. You worked hard, yet you didn’t get anything in return.” “I don’t care about any of that.…
“Madam Edith, I can testify that Brittany was the one who got the Jade Maiden Scripture!” “That’s right. It was all thanks to Brittany. That rotten bastard had nothing to do with it!” “Nikki, you must have been mistaken.” The…
“Brittany?” Nikki looked at her in disbelief. She couldn’t believe Brittany would say something like that. All she did was greet them by the door, yet she had taken all the credit for herself. It was unfair, especially when Brittany…
“I was just saying. You don’t have to open it if you don’t want to.” Dustin shrugged. Although the Jade Maiden Scripture was impressive, it was only suitable for women. It had no use for him. He was only interested…
Julian died a regretful death. After killing him, the masked men left without any words. Dustin, who was the reason for his death, got his revenge. Not only that, but he got the Jade. Maiden Scripture that was worth ten…
Everyone glanced at Nikki, sizing her up. “Hmph! Do you think one billion is impressive? I’ll pay 1.5 billion!” Julian raised the bid again. The Nicholsons may not have much of anything else, but they certainly had a lot of…
Nikki was livid and glowered at Julian. She clenched her fists, almost losing her cool. While Dustin remained indifferent, it was like he was staring at a fool. “Kid, get lost if you don’t have the money. What are you…
Julian glared at the masked men, displeased with them. In public, everyone always addressed him as Mr. Nicholson. The audacity of these masked men to address him familiarly by his first name! “So, you’re Julian Nicholson.” After the masked man…
“Hey! I’m warning you, don’t mess with me!” Julian took a few quick steps back in fear when he saw Dustin’s threatening posture. He hadn’t brought any bodyguards today; only a few pretty women came with him. It would be…
Nikki frowned, “What do you mean? You’re not selling it directly to us?” “Recently, I’ve received many inquiries about the Jade Maiden Scripture. I was in a difficult position and was unable to make a decision. “That was why I…
Early the next morning, at Zephyr Lodge, Dustin sat on the rooftop and watched the sunrise. His expression was devoid of emotion. Since bidding farewell to Dahlia last night, he had been on the rooftop since midnight till the sun…
“Stop right there!” Dahlia caught up to him and grabbed his arm. “Do you have to be like this? Can’t we have a decent talk?” “I don’t think that’s necessary. I’m wasting my breath. Not to mention, I’m busy. Let’s…
It was 8:00 pm. Inside Rose Cafe, Dahlia was seated by the window. She had both hands wrapped around her cup of coffee. Her mood was heavy as she watched the rain fall outside. She looked exhausted. Since last night,…
Chapter 859 Brittany snorted and followed the group inside. “What a bunch of lunatics.” Dustin shook his head as he mumbled to himself. He finally realized where Brittany’s confidence came from. How could their disciples be any better if they had such an arrogant leader? “Well, my teacher has a cold personality. Please don’t take it to heart.” Brittany was feeling awkward. “Forget about it. I’d rather not argue with women.” Dustin waved his hand dismissively. He would have driven them out much earlier if it wasn’t for Nikki. He was indebted to Nelson and could only repay him by helping his family. “Thank god.” Nikki breathed a sigh of relief before changing the subject. She asked, “By the way, I want to ask you something. Since you’re the boss here, have you ever heard of the Jade Maiden Scripture?” “Jade Maiden Scripture? What’s that?” Dustin’s brows furrowed. “The Jade Maiden Scripture is the Jade Maiden Sisterhood’s long–lost treasure. “Madam Edith hasn’t been able to break through to the grandmaster level because she’s missing a crucial technique from the scripture. “I heard it was recently found in the Southern province, Millsburg. But I’m still not sure who has it. So I thought to ask if you heard of anything,” Nikki briefly explained the situation. After their brief interaction, she unknowingly started to trust him. She hadn’t even noticed it herself. “The Jade Maiden Scripture, was it? Alright, I’ll have someone check about it discreetly. I’ll let you know immediately when there’s news.” Dustin nodded. “Not bad. You’re quite efficient!” Nikki nodded in satisfaction. “Don’t worry. Once we find the Jade Maiden Scripture, I’ll speak to Madam Edith on your behalf and have her reward you handsomely. Even marrying Brittany won’t be a problem when that time comes!” “Hah! Thanks, but keep her for yourselves.” Dustin looked disgusted. Only an idiot would fall for Brittany. Dustin returned to his room once he completed the arrangements for the Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples. He started healing his injuries. 1/2 The poison from Septemortis still affected him, and he could only try to suppress its effects. Paul Hill’s death was still a mystery. The murderer had disappeared without leaving any clues, and it was challenging to find a breakthrough. He had only six days left, and the martial arts alliance members had their eyes on him. If he couldn’t find the murderer, there would be no way to conclude this. Just as his mind was full of distressing thoughts, his phone rang. It was a call from Dahlia. Without even thinking, he rejected the call. However, in a few seconds, his phone rang again. After Dustin rejected the call, Dahlia would call again. This repeated a few times before Dustin couldn’t take it any longer. He answered the call in annoyance. “What do you want?” He questioned harshly. “Dustin, I need to speak to you. Tonight at 8:00 pm. I’m not leaving till you come.” Dahlia’s voice was hoarse. “Sorry, I’m busy. I don’t have the energy to talk to you,” Dustin refused immediately. “I’ll kill myself if you don’t come.” Then, she hung up.
“What?” Dustin’s words left the Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples dumbfounded. They had expected Dustin to be begging them to stay and crying regretfully. But, goodbye? That shouldn’t be a part of his script! “Dustin, what are you doing? Are you…
“Please leave if you don’t believe me.” Dustin’s patience had run thin, and he drove them out. This woman’s narcissism was beyond his tolerance. “Still playing hard to get? You’re so childish.” Brittany scoffed, shaking her head. “Fine, I’ll play…
