Chapter 1067


    “There’s no hope for Trent. Now, we can only find another way,” Tyler mused.


    “Go find a few scapegoats and ask them to act on behalf of Trent. Remember, don’t reveal your


    identity,” he instructed.

    “Understood!” The confidant replied promptly before leaving in haste.


    “I hope there won’t be any mistakes this time,” Tyler murmured to himself, his eyes narrowed in


    contemtion.


    If he hadn’t been concerned about Natasha’s grandfather, he wouldn’t have been so cautious. The old


    man from the Chen family was truly in trouble. Otherwise, he would have taken matters into his own


    hands.


    …


    At noon, within the Rose Restaurant, Dustin and Scarlet secured a table by the window and conversed


    as they ate.


    “Brother Changge, would you like me to deal with those who have wronged you?” Scarlet suddenly


    inquired, her tone grave.


    Hearing this, Dustin was momentarily taken aback. “They don’t deserve to die, just lock them up for a


    few days and let them suffer a bit,” he replied. Dn, however, deserved a more severe punishment as


    he had crossed a critical line.


    Though the rest of the Cao family were guilty, they wouldn’t face extermination. Primarily, Dustin had to


    consider Natasha’s sentiments. Regardless, these individuals were all connected to Natasha. If they


    were all eliminated, how would their rtionship progress in the future?


    “Alright, spare their lives then,” Scarlet nodded, epting Dustin’s decision.


    To her, as long as Dustin was content, taking a few lives was inconsequential.


    “By the way, Brother Changge, I remember, your birthday ising up soon, isn’t it?” Scarlet suddenly


    mentioned.


    “It seems so. If you hadn’t reminded me, I might have forgotten,” Dustin admitted. He had never


    attached much importance to birthdays. In previous years, it was merely a meal, a drink, and


    asionally a birthday cake when the mood struck. It was straightforward.


    “Brother Changge, how do you n to spend this birthday?” Scarlet inquired, her curiosity piqued.


    “Most likely, just a meal and a birthday cake,” Dustin replied nonchntly.


    “That simple? That won’t do!” Scarlet protested.


    “Your birthday must be grand. This time, I’ll throw a magnificent party for you!”


    “Don’t go to any trouble, just carry on as usual,” Dustin politely declined.


    “It’s no trouble. Your previous birthday celebrations were always so lively, and this time will be no


    different,” Scarlet insisted.


    “That was then, this is now. It’s not the same,” Dustin shook his head. “Girl, I appreciate your kindness.


    Let’s forget about the birthday party. I don’t like too much attention.”


    “Very well, if Brother Changge isn’t keen, then there won’t be a party,” Scarlet conceded.


    Seeing Dustin’s resolve, she relented, suggesting, “However, it should be fine if I invite a few friends to


    celebrate your birthday, right?”


    “Of course,” Dustin agreed with a smile.


    “Alright, it’s settled then,” Scarlet beamed.


    The two continued their conversation while enjoying their meal, the atmosphere remaining cordial. After


    their food and drink, Dustin received an unexpected call from Samuel Franklin.


    “Mr. Dustin, I have both good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?”


    “Let’s start with the bad news.”


    “The bad news is that someone put a bounty on you on the ck list yesterday, and the sum is in the


    tens of billions,” Samuel Franklin reported.


    “Oh, who’s behind it?” Dustin raised an eyebrow.


    “Mr. Dustin, you’re aware of our policy. I can’t disclose my employer’s identity. I can assure you,


    however, that my people won’t take any action,” Samuel Franklin distanced himself from the matter.


    “Alright, tell me the good news,” Dustin redirected the conversation.


    “The good news is that the Qicai Ganoderma lucidum you’ve been seeking has been located!”
