Chapter 292
Dustin and the heirs of various noble families, along with the famous physicians, all sat in the main hall of the McCall family villa and enjoyed their tea.
Logically, since Jonathan had been cured, they should have taken their leave.
However, they remained to simply watch the unfolding drama.
Arthur had been humiliated, and he would not let this go so easily.
Dustin enjoyed his tea leisurely in the main seat, while Arthur glared at him as if he was ready to devour him.
The mere thought of Allison being with Dustin fueled his anger.
"Apologies for the wait, everyone! I'm grateful to all of you for coming to the McCall family villa to treat my grandfather," Allison said as she entered and thanked the crowd.
She maintained her grace and smiled politely even though the so-called renowned physicians had been of no use.
"Dinner is ready. Please, follow me to the dining hall."
Arthur stood up with a cold face.
"There's no need for dinner," he said coldly. "Allison, I ask you again. Are you truly willing to marry this Fustin Dox?"
Allison smiled softly.
"A promise is a promise. The McCall family never breaks its word." Her voice was firm and confident, without any hesitation or embarrassment. Arthur sneered at her response.
"Too bad this punk won't live to enjoy it," he said coldly. Then, he turned and left.
"Anyone who offends the Williams family will not live for more than three days!" he said menacingly as he walked out. He did not even spare Dustin a glance.
After all, a man who would soon be dead did not warrant any attention.
Gareth, however, gave Dustin a meaningful glance before leaving.
Allison turned to Dustin.
"Mr. Dox, rest assured. You helped the McCall family. We will do everything in our power to protect you," she said earnestly.
Dustin raised an eyebrow in surprise.
The Williams family ruled over the western region of Lovellia. Even the General of the West would have to bow before Lord Barbenheim.
On the other hand, the McCall family was an elite family in Grayvale.
For them to make such a bold statement, they must have significant influence.
Dustin wondered where the McCall family got such confidence from.
"Mr. Dox, could you stay with the McCall family for a few more days?" Allison smiled.
Dustin nodded.
He had come for the McCall family's Bloodveil Orchid.
Suddenly, a servant burst into the hall. "Miss Allison, a troop of soldiers has surrounded the family villa!"
Allison's face turned icy.
"The two Elders of the Netherworld have come under the orders of Mr. Arthur to capture the one who offended him!"novelbin
The voice was coming from the roof of the villa.
Two sinister-looking old men stood on the roof. Their auras were frighteningly strong.
"It's the Elders of the Netherworld! The two Martial Saints employed by the Williams family!" The onlookers reacted in shock.
The Williams family was immensely

powerful and employed many fearsome figures, with the Elders of the Netherworld being some of the most notorious.
They were ruthless and had gained infamy for their bloody deeds in the martial arts community. After inciting a massive uproar, they joined the Williams family to avoid punishment.
Lord Barbenheim had in turn used them to eliminate enemies and paid them handsomely for their services.
To think that these two had come to Grayvale with Arthur! If he had been insulted to that extent, why did they not act sooner?
Allison's face darkened.
"The McCall family does not welcome you. Please leave," she said in a low and cold voice.
“Ha! Little girl, we're here on behalf of the Williams family. You think you can simply dismiss us?" The two Elders jumped down from the roof. Their eyes glinted with malice as they scanned the room.
"Which one is Fustin Dox?" one of them demanded.
Without hesitation, Allison subtly stepped forward to shield Dustin.
"I don't hide behind women," Dustin said calmly as he stepped forward.
"I am Fustin Dox."
"Little brat, you've got some nerve! You dared offend Mr. Arthur!" one of the Elders said and sneered.
"Mr. Arthur has ordered us to break your limbs before bringing you back for punishment!"
