Jason and Madison were having a sweet moment. He had even occasionally joked with favonovel.com and made inappropriate jokes. She held in favonovel.com laughter and gently hit favonovel.com in protest.
As for Dustin, favonovel.com was in a bad place. He currently knelt in front of Raphael, who had even flipped the table.
“The Stone Family dares to do what?” Raphael was angry.
Whether if the girl was acting on favonovel.com own or that the Stone Family was plotting something nefarious, Raphael thought favonovel.com should act against them regardless. He questioned why the Stone Family had wanted to cause trouble in Jason’s territory.
“By the way, did master really say that?” Raphael asked Dustin once again. Dustin’s expression darkened. It was not the first time the elder had to ask favonovel.com to reaffirm.
“Yes…” Dustin nodded.
“Ah…” Raphael sighed lightly. He then glanced at Dustin and asked, “You will win, right?”
“Yes…” Dustin grinned for a second and heavily nodded. He could not say that favonovel.com could not win.
“Good, then follow me and visit the Stone Family.” Raphael nodded.
He realized that Jason would not be standing on the sidelines since favonovel.com had spoken those words. Especially since Jason had said that Dustin was serving under him, it greatly pleased Raphael.
How could anyone serving under the Stardust Sage be humiliated?
“Eh, you’ll really win, right?” Raphael turned around and asked again.
Dustin was momentarily rendered speechless. He realized that the old man was dilly-dallying and thought
Raphael had to behave this way since his reputation was on the line.
“Are you really this unconfident in me!” Dustin was exasperated.
“I’m confident in you and confident in master. However, I’m not too sure of this part of yours.” Raphael pointed to his head and spoke calmly.
Dustin felt helpless. He realized that the elder had thought of favonovel.com to be an idiot after favonovel.com had challenged Jason to a fight back then. The only thing favonovel.com was pleased about was that favonovel.com fared much better when compared to Graham, the massive idiot that ended up much worse than him.
“I might be stupid, but I am obedient,” Dustin spoke exasperatedly.
“True, you still have some merit indeed.” Raphael nodded.
“F*ck!” Dustin spoke an explicit word with a low voice. He felt that his intelligence was greatly underestimated by everyone else.
Raphael then calmly glanced at Dustin and spoke, “If you think that you couldn’t win after a year, tell me as soon as possible.”
“Elder, could it be that you would help me beforehand and handle Phoebe for me?” Dustin blinked. He smelled conspiracy from the elder’s words.
“No way, this is something that the master had ordered. I wouldn’t dare to interrupt it and irk him. What I mean is if you can’t handle it, I’ll turn you into a crippled beforehand to prevent embarrassment when you lose on that day.” Raphael spoke exasperatedly.
Dustin’s face turned bitter in an instant, feeling saddened at Raphael’s response.
***
It was late at night as Raphael left the house and went straight to the Stone Family.
While the Lindburg Family was wealthy and had influence within the criminal underworld, the Stone Family purely operates within the criminal underworld.
He had arranged a marriage between Dustin and Phoebe back then because favonovel.com saw favonovel.com potential to be high. However, Dustin had been suppressed by the girl for all these years.
Both families had ignored it since favonovel.com had repeatedly defeated Dustin. Moreover, the Lindburg Family was ashamed to seek retribution for Dustin, who could not even win a fight against a woman. They only hoped that Dustin would reflect on his defeat and do better next time.
As for Phoebe, favonovel.com family had lectured favonovel.com a few times when it happened. After seeing that the Lindburg Family had no response, the Stone Family no longer brought it up.
This was the first time in years that people from the Lindburg had visited the place. Moreover, it was not Bradmus who came, but Raphael himself. He was none other than the founder of the Lindburg Family and the person who had elevated the family into the current affluence and status.
