Chapter 274

"What's the matter?" Natasha said, slightly stunned.

"I just received word that Dustin has been arrested by the military!" Ruth quickly explained what had happened.

After Natasha heard the whole story, her face instantly grew solemn. "Using the military to arrest him? It seems like whoever's behind this comes from a powerful background."

"Natasha, do you think the Hummers did this?" Ruth asked, frowning slightly. "Yesterday, Dustin went on a killing spree at the Hummers and even crippled Edwin's son. The Hummers definitely won't let this go easily."

"It definitely has something to do with them. However, Edwin's network alone isn't enough to command the military. I'm guessing the Grant family must have been involved," Natasha said thoughtfully. Jade was Joshua's fiancée. Considering their relationship, the Grant family wouldn't sit idly by. As one of the Tremendous Three, the Grant family wields immense power over the Belarno Military. Dealing with someone without backing would be far too easy.

Although she knew Dustin would be in trouble, she didn't expect it so soon.

"Natasha, what do we do now?" Ruth asked hesitantly.

"Go find out where Dustin is being held. Leave the rest to me." Natasha turned and left.

She knew the battle was beginning. This time, she would fight the Hummers to the death!

Meanwhile, at the Hummer Villa, Joshua lay on the bed, his face ashen. His arms were wrapped in thick bandages, and he looked listless. Beside him sat an emaciated old man, completely focused on administering treatment, sweat beading on his forehead. Edwin and Tina watched silently from the doorway, afraid to disturb him.

The old man was Dr. Rowan Cross, the miracle doctor.

After a long time, Rowan finally stood. Edwin spoke up. "Dr. Cross, how is my son?"

"Mr. Hummer, I have reattached your son's arms. However, he won't be able to lift heavy objects from now on," Rowan said, wiping his brow.

"What about his internal injuries? Can his injured core recover?" Edwin pressed. His son's ability to cultivate again was paramount. It concerned his future.

"Restoring his core is far more difficult than his arms. I can research ancient methods, but I make no promises," Rowan replied.

"Then please, Dr. Cross, do everything you can. Our family will reward you handsomely!" Edwin said gratefully. As long as there was hope, they wouldn't give up.

"Hmph, it's all that damn Dustin's fault! How could he hurt my brother so badly? I'm going to rip him to shreds!" Tina grumbled fiercely.

Rowan paused. "Did you say Dustin hurt your brother?"

"That's right! That animal!" Tina nodded emphatically.

Rowan's face darkened. "Based on my examination, your brother is beyond treatment. He'll be crippled for life. You should accept that. Farewell!"

He left with his medical kit.

Father and daughter stared at each other, bewildered.

What the fuck just happened? they thought.

He had been pleasant earlier; why the sudden change? Were all miracle doctors this moody?

As Rowan left the Hummer Villa, he spat on the ground and cursed, "How dare you ask me to treat your family after you wronged my savior? Eat shit!"
