Chapter 163


    “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 t


    heir 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 the


    ir time


    of need! And now that things didn’t go their way, they resorted to violence and threats. How tyrannical a


    nd


    despicable!


    “Caden Murray! Are you about to repay kindness with ingratitude?” Dustin’s gaze frosted over, and an i


    mposing air came over him.


    “Young man, you’d be smart to back off now. Ten million dors is enough tost you a lifetime. You bet


    ter not get greedy!” Caden warned.


    People in his position were only interested in what benefited them. Naturally, he would ce connectio


    ns with


    the Horst family above an unknown doctor like Dustin.


    “Am I being greedy, or are you the one taking advantage of me? Do you really think that I’m an easy tar


    get


    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!” Xa


    vier got


    impatient.


    He was green with envy at how She had called Dustin ‘kind sir. She had never addressed him as suc

    “And I’m giving you yourst chance too. Give me the Gozoraberry, or you’ll be sorry!” Dustin threatene


    d


    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 th


    e


    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 li


    ke 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 pom


    pously!


    “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 we


    re


    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 y


    our 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 frustrati


    on.


    “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 t


    owards him, but you’ve also resorted to using violence against him. Since when were you so unreason


    able?”


    Caden’s expression changed when he heard her words. He couldn’t care less about what others thoug


    ht 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, an


    d a Gozoraberry is exactly what will give me the extra push to help me progress. That’s why I shameles


    sly 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 argu


    ed


    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, an


    d 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 fr


    ont 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 bac


    k. there. I apologize on his behalf for offending you. I hope you’ll find it in you to forgive him.” She sai


    d apologetically.


    Seeing the sincerity in her gaze, Dustin was appeased. It was true that Caden was despicable, but he h


    ad 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 r


    emarked lightly.


    “No, he won’t! My father’s not like that!” She shook her hand and turned to look at Caden, throwing hi


    m a threatening nce.


    Caden had no other choice but to nod. “What happened today was just a misunderstanding, please do

    n’t take offense.”


    “If that is the case, thank you. I have other arrangements made, so I’ll be taking my leave now.” Dustin t


    urned


    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.
