Chapter 1069: The Horse Race
“Oh, I’m here to visit General Murray,” Dustin replied with a faint smile.
“Hmph! What a joke!” Vivian curled her lips with a disdainful look.
Ever since the band-aid incident, she had been holding a grudge against Dustin. But she had to admit
that he indeed had some abilities.
On that day, when she was hospitalized with a gunshot wound, she had just discovered that she had
lung cancer. Fortunately, it was detected in time, and under the influence of a generouspensation,
her condition was stabilized.
“Grandpa has gone out for a bit and won’t be back for a while. Why don’t youe in, have some tea,
and sit down? I have a few questions I’d like to consult with you,” Shi Murray said without giving
Dustin a chance to decline. She grabbed his arm and led him toward the entrance of the general’s
residence.
“Shi, didn’t we agree to go practice horse riding at the racetrack?” Vivian reminded.
“Oh, right! I got a little too excited just now and almost forgot,” Shi replied.
She looked at Dustin and tentatively asked, “Dustin, how about we go to our family’s racetrack? When

my grandpaes back, I bring you to him. What do you think?”
“No problem,” Dustin agreed with a smile. He wasn’t disappointed by the change in ns.
“Great! Let’s go to the racetrack!”
Shi Murray smiled sweetly and then led the group, including Dustin, to the back of the general’s
residence.
“Chase, judging by the way Shi looks at him, it seems she’s quite interested in this guy. You should
be cautious,” Vivian whispered.
“Hmph! A martial artist without power or influence can never be worthy of Shi,” Chase Johnson
replied with disdain. “Even if she has a favorable impression of him, the Murray Family would never
agree to it. They are not in the same league. No matter how hard he tries, he can’t fit into our circle.”
“That’s true,” Vivian said, nodding in agreement.
Although Dustin had decent martial arts skills and some medical knowledge, it was still far from
enough.
As the most favored granddaughter of General Murray, and as the future wife of someone important,
there were three criteria that had to be met:
1. A distinguished family background.
2. Great potential.
3. Outstanding abilities.
Dustin, an unknown martial artist, clearly didn’t meet these criteria.
The Murray Family’s estate was quite extensive, epassing the surrounding mountains and waters
within a ten-mile radius, all under its jurisdiction.
After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at a private racetrack located at the foot of the
mountain behind the general’s residence.
The racetrack was home to over a hundred horses, most of which were high-quality breeds. All
members of the Murray Family coulde here to train or participate in horse races. Some exceptional
individuals even had their own valuable steeds.
Shi Murray was very familiar with this ce. She called over the person in charge of the racetrack
and led everyone into the stables to pick out horses for riding.
The stables were spacious and well-kept, with each horse housed in a separate stall. Due to regr
cleaning, the stables were exceptionally clean, and there was a faint aroma of smoked wood.
“Dustin, how about this horse?” Shi Murray led Dustin to a white horse with a height of about 1.5
meters.
The white horse had a perfect physique, with a slender neck, graceful limbs, thin skin, fine hair, elegant
posture, and light and graceful strides. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
“Not bad. It’s indeed a fine horse,” Dustin nodded appreciatively.
“Hehe, this horse is named Henry. It’s my exclusive ride. Whenever I have time, Ie here to see it,”
Shi Murray introduced proudly. “Dustin, you must not underestimate Henry. It’s a sweat-blood horse,
and every time our family holds a horse race, it always wins the championship and has never lost.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a discordant voice suddenly rang out at the entrance of the stables.
“Never lost? Hmph! Today, I’ll make you lose for the first time!”
