“Hahaha!” Dustin was so infuriated that heughed out loud when he saw the guards rush in.
Anyone would have assumed that such a prestigious family would at least put in some effort to uphold
their reputation. Who would have guessed that they would act so shamelessly?
Not only did they go back on their word, they even betrayed someone who had offered them help in
their time
of need! And now that things didn’t go their way, they resorted to violence and threats. How tyrannical
and
despicable!
“Caden Murray! Are you about to repay kindness with ingratitude?” Dustin’s gaze frosted over, and an
imposing air came over him.
“Young man, you’d be smart to back off now. Ten million dors is enough tost you a lifetime. You
better not get greedy!” Caden warned.
People in his position were only interested in what benefited them. Naturally, he would ce

whom you can mess around with however you please?” Dustin retorted sharply.
“Uncle Caden, let’s not waste time on this scumbag! Just throw him out and get rid of this eyesore!”
Xavier got
impatient.
He was green with envy at how She had called Dustin ‘kind sir. She had never addressed him as
such!
“I’ll give you onest chance,d. Take this money and leave, and I’ll pretend that nothing has ever
happened today.” Caden gave his ultimatum.
“And I’m giving you yourst chance too. Give me the Gozoraberry, or you’ll be sorry!” Dustin
threatened
authoritatively.
“Hah! You’re really making things hard for everyone, aren’t you?”
Finally, Cader could hold it in no longer. He exchanged a look with Xavier. “Throw him out! Do whatever
you like. Just make sure that he doesn’t die.”
“No problem! Tie him up and throw him out! Break his legs if he resists!” Xavier sneered as he waved
the
guards over.
“Yes, Sir!” The guards rushed up at hismand.
“Insolent bastards!” Dustin seethed. He met the guards head–on.
With just a few simple swings of his arm, he delivered p after p to the guards‘ faces.

They cried out as they were sent sprawling across the lounge. None of them was a match for Dustin.
“Huh?” Caden and Xavier were surprised at what they saw. They had not expected that a mere doctor
like him would be so skilled inbat techniques!
“So it turns out that he’s a practitioner of the martial arts! No wonder he has the guts to behave so
pompously!
“Xavier scoffed as he slowly took off his coat.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve loosened up. Well, let’s have some fun today, shall we?” With that,
Xavier got
ready to attack.
“Hold it right there!” Lily, She, and a few other people burst in hastily.
“Caden, what’s going on? Dustin saved She! Why are you guys attacking him?” Lily questioned.
*This is none of your business, Lily. Bring She back to her room to get some rest.” Caden frowned.
He had brought Dustin to the lounge because he didn’t want his wife and daughter to see what they
were
doing.
But in the end, they still caught wind of things and came over.
“Is this because of the Gozoraberry, Caden? We made Dustin a promise! Why are you backing out on
your words? If word got out, how do you think it’s going to affect our reputation?” Lily got the picture the
instant she
saw the red box.
“What would a woman know? Get out!” Caden was ashamed, but heshed out at Lily with his
frustration.
“Dad! You’ve always told me to be an honest person, but what are you doing now?”
She took a step forward and demanded, “Dustin just saved my life, but not only are you not grateful
towards him, but you’ve also resorted to using violence against him. Since when were you so
unreasonable?”
Caden’s expression changed when he heard her words. He couldn’t care less about what others
thought about him, but he couldn’t disregard how his daughter saw him.
He had always kept his dirty deeds hidden from his daughter. It was unfortunate that he was caught
red-
handed today.
“She, Uncle Caden had nothing to do with this. I was the one who wanted the Gozoraberry.”
Xavier stood up to take the me. I’m just one step away from advancing my skills to the next level,
and a Gozoraberry is exactly what will give me the extra push to help me progress. That’s why I
shamelessly requested it from Uncle Caden.”
“Even so, you should not have resorted to violence!” She scowled.
“She, you don’t understand! I had nned to buy the Gozoraberry from him for 10 million dors, but
not only did this fe here reject my proposal, he even insulted me! I really couldn’t take it!” Xavier
argued
indignantly.
“I don’t care! Since you’ve agreed to give Dustin the Gozoraberry, then you can’t just back out at the
eleventh hour!” She reached out, snatched the box from Xavier’s hands, and passed it to Dustin.
“You…” At a loss, Xavier could only look to Caden helplessly.
Caden looked none too pleased, but in the end, he only shook his head. He had an image to keep in
front of his daughter, so they could only let it slide.
“Dustin, I’m really sorry that you were startled. My father wasn’t in the right state of mind for a while
back. there. I apologize on his behalf for offending you. I hope you’ll find it in you to forgive him.” She
said apologetically.
Seeing the sincerity in her gaze, Dustin was appeased. It was true that Caden was despicable, but he
had to admit that Lily and She were both very understanding and reasonable.
“Mr. Rhys, please have the Gozoraberry. From now on, the Murrays are indebted to you!” Lily said.
“Please do not feel indebted to me. All I ask is that Mr. Murray would not take revenge on me,” Dustin
remarked lightly.
“No, he won’t! My father’s not like that!” She shook her hand and turned to look at Caden, throwing
him a threatening nce.
Caden had no other choice but to nod. “What happened today was just a misunderstanding, please
don’t take offense.”
“If that is the case, thank you. I have other arrangements made, so I’ll be taking my leave now.” Dustin
turned
to leave.
“Dustin, will we meet again?” She suddenly asked.
“We’ll leave that to fate.” Dustin walked out the door with a wave.
Before he got out the door, he heard a low voice by his ear saying. “You’re lucky She came in the
nick of
time, you scoundrel. She just saved your sorry ass!”
“You’re the one who lucked out that She came when she did. Otherwise, you’d be a dead man by
now.”
Dustin left with a scoff.
