An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1214
“Old man! What nonsense! You’re the one incapable in that area! I am a champion at that!” Dustin was a little flustered. He got too emotional, and as a result, he started gasping heavily as he spoke. With his pale face, he was the very picture of being weak.
“Fine, you’re the champion. I know that already. Don’t get too excited.” The Drunken Maniac nodded his head indifferently in an attempt to pacify him.
“Regardless, this is a very rare piece of treasure. Just keep it for emergencies, alright?” He slid the bottle of medicine into Dustin’s pocket as he spoke.
“You-” Dustin felt insulted. As he was about to explode, he started coughing violently.
“It’s alright. Stop talking. I get what you’re trying to say.” The Drunken Maniac gave Dustin a pat on the back. He then turned and said, “I have to leave now. I still have a flight to catch. Remember to take the medicine on time so you’ll have a child soon!”
With that said, the Drunken Maniac disappeared in a flash. “Take care, old man.” Through his car window, Dustin’s gaze became complicated as he watched the Drunken Maniac’s hunchbacked silhouette move further away.
All good things must come to an end. When he cured the Drunken Maniac’s Celestial Decay, Dustin knew he would eventually leave.
He had his own goal to accomplish, and the Drunken Maniac had his as well. They had different lives, and the paths to be taken would also be different. He could only wish him well silently.
After a short break, Dustin and Cornelius went back to Zephyr Lodge. As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they saw a group of the Kirin Gang members getting busy decorating the house’s exterior.
Natasha and Scarlet were in the house, supervising the decoration on the inside. They paid attention to the most minute details, hoping to make it flawless. They were still at war with each other before this. However, they were now working together in perfect sync.
“Natasha, Scarlet, what are you doing? “Dustin walked into the house, looking curious. “Dustin, you’re back.” Scarlet turned in surprise and walked over quickly to welcome him.
She said smilingly, “It’s your birthday tomorrow. I’m thinking about how to best decorate the house. Are you happy with it?”
“It’s just a birthday. Do we have to make it this grand?” Dustin looked around and realized that Zephyr Lodge appeared as if it had been renovated.
“This is nothing. If I had more time, I would have demolished this place and built a new one.” Scarlet replied seriously.
Dustin was speechless, and the corner of his mouth twitched. From his understanding of her personality, he knew that Scarlet was capable of doing that.
“Dear, it’s different now. You’re the leader of the Kirin Gang. We must give you a grand birthday celebration to show it.” Natasha said with a smile.
“Why can’t we just eat together? Why do we have to do all this?” Dustin’s head started hurting. When Scarlet mentioned his birthday celebration, he had already told her he’d like to keep it private. Nevertheless, she got a little too excited.
“Of course, we’ll all eat together in splendor. We can’t let Tyler Grant steal the limelight,” Natasha added.
“Hold on. What has this got to do with him?” Dustin was confused.
“Don’t you know? Tyler and Kate are getting engaged tomorrow. They’ve already invited a lot of people for a grand celebration. We can’t be losing out.” Natasha replied with a determined look.
Natasha couldn’t forgive Tyler for breaking her family apart. Thus, she wanted to use this opportunity to diminish the influence of the Grant family.
“Is that so? Tyler and Kate are getting engaged? Looks like they’re destined to be together,” Dustin commented with raised eyebrows.
He wasn’t very interested initially. However, his desire to win was somehow ignited when Tyler was involved.
Tyler had been playing tricks behind him because of the treasure map. It looked like it was time to finally conclude their deepening feud.
