“What? Three minutes?” Upon hearing that, Abigail was dumbfounded. Didn’t he say it took ordinary martial artists a year or more to achieve the basic level? Even she, a once–in– century genius, took a day to cultivate her internal energy. To achieve it in a day was already worthy of being called a prodigy. Yet Dustin achieved it in three minutes? What should she call him A monster?
A freak?
At this moment, she felt deeply shocked. Her earlier bit of pride evaporated into thin air.
“Are you… kidding me?” Abigail couldn’t accept it..
“Why would I lie to you? I gain nothing from it.” Dustin shrugged and said calmly. “Besides, it’s just talent. It doesn’t represent strength. This world is never lacking in geniuses. The path of martial arts is arduous and long. To become a true powerhouse, both talent and effort are indispensable.”
“I understand! I’ll work hard and catch up to you soon! Abigail clenched her fist. Then she decisively ran upstairs and began her intense training. Dustin laughed. He saw a familiar figure in Abigail.
Abigail was exactly like that girl from the Spanner family ten years ago. At that moment, knocks rang out from the door. Dustin opened the door and found Ruth standing outside.
“Ruth, how is your sister? Does she want to see me?” Dustin’s eyes lit up.
Ruth remained silent. She lowered her head and glanced behind her with a hesitant expression. Only then did
Dustin notice two people standing in the courtyard behind her.
It was a man and a woman.
With a tall and imposing figure, the man seemed to be in his forties and fifties. He exuded a compelling aura
from head to toe.
Dustin felt somewhat intimidated.
As for the woman, she had taken great care of her appearance. She had fair and tender skin, a well-
proportioned figure, delicate features, and a lingering charm.
She was none other than Ruth’s mother, Jessica!
“So, you’re Dustin?” the man spoke first. His tone was calm and emotionless but carried a tinge of domination.
“Yes, that’s me.” Dustin nodded.
“I am Hector, Natasha’s father.” The man got straight to the point.
“Oh, Mr. Harmon. Please come inside.” Dustin smiled faintly and Immediately extended his hand in a welcoming gesture. From the moment he saw Jessica, he had guessed the identity of the visitors.

“There’s no need for that. I came here today to have a few words with you,” Hector said calmly. “Natasha is already engaged to someone, and by the end of this month, she will be married. So I hope you won’t meet my daughter anymore.”
“Married?” Dustin frowned. “Why didn’t she tell me?”
“What difference would it make if she told you? This decision was made by two prominent families, and no one can change that.” Hector continued expressionlessly. “Young man, I don’t know if you truly love my daughter or are attracted to her family background. It doesn’t matter. In any case, the bottom line is to stay away from my daughter.”
As he spoke, he made a gesture. Soon, several bodyguards entered the courtyard, carrying two large boxes. When the boxes were opened, they revealed stacks of gold inside!
“Young man, this gold is a gift from me. Take it and leave the capital. From now on, don’t appear before my daughter,” Hector said.
