Chapter: 1076

"A million?" Abigail could not believe her ears.

"What? Is there a problem?" Dustin asked calmly.

"Well…" Abigail was stunned. There wasn’t much she could say at this point.

Was this the power of money? It was amazing!

Dustin and the rest took a boat into Stoneray Valley after registering themselves. They passed by green mountains, clear blue waters, and lush trees. The scenery was beautiful. After traveling about ten miles, they reached their destination and got out of the boat.

There was a huge building that looked like a palace. It was majestic and breathtaking. They followed the crowd and went up a flight of stairs. Then they entered a lavishly decorated hall.

There were already many people gathered in the hall. Everyone hoped they would be chosen by Dr. Watkins and be accepted into the Stoneray Order.The Stoneray Order was famous and distinguished in Millsburg. Even the Fabulous Five and the Tremendous Three had to show them respect. To be accepted into the Stoneray Order was the same as making it big in life.But Dr. Watkins was strict when choosing his students. And he would only accept ten students each year. It was almost a one-in-a-million chance to be his student.As Dustin admired the hall, a commotion broke out by the door.They turned around to see several young people walking in with their heads high. Leading the group were a beautiful woman dressed in white and a man dressed in black. The others behind them looked like regular lackeys who tagged along to show off their powers."Hey.. Isn’t that Miranda Killian from the Killian family? I didn’t expect to see her here.""I heard that Miranda Killian is an unmatched medical genius. When she was 18, she was alreadyon the same level as reputable doctors in Stonia."

"And it’s not just Miranda Killian! That man beside her is amazing too! He’s Preston Huffner, Dr. Bruce Darby’s best student. He’s so young, but his medical skills are out of this world!"

The crowd whispered among themselves when Miranda Killian and Preston Huffner appeared.One was a medical genius and the daughter of a well-known family. The other was a famous doctor’s best student with exceptional skills. No matter where they went, they were the center ofattention"Hmph! They are just a bunch of people with average skills. How boring." Preston looked aroundwith disdain."Preston, I guess one of us will be the best student this year," Miranda said with a smirk."If you want it, I’ll let you have the position of best student. How’s that?" Preston seemed generous."I’ll thank you in advance, then, Preston." Miranda hid her giggles behind her hand. She was interested in something other than the best student position.She was only competing for that position because of the thousand-year green lotus. She could have her wish granted if she passed the examination and became the best student. And she had her eyes on the thousand-year green lotus.As Preston and the gang walked into the hall, they paused as their path was blocked."Hey! Get out of the way! Even dogs know better than to block people’s way!" Preston glared at thegroup of three in annoyance.Everyone willingly made way for them except for these three. The three stood there indifferently, not showing them any respect."And dogs know better than to force their way through. So quit complaining and get lost." Dustin countered.

"How dare you insult me?" Preston’s expression darkened.

"Do you even know who I am? How bold of you to speak to me like that!"

"Does it matter to me who you are?" Dustin shrugged.

"You insolent bastard! I am the leader of Asclepia, Dr. Bruce Darby’s best student! Your disrespect toward me is a direct disrespect toward Asclepia! Just a word from me is enough to make you vanish from the medical field! Don’t test me!" Preston threatened.

The people who showed up were people involved in the medical field. Asclepia’s power stretched across the nation. And all prestigious entities in the medical world respected them. It was easy for them to wipe out a small fry.

"Oh, I’m so scared. Well, go ahead and do as you wish, then," Dustin replied dismissively.

His unconcern attitude and disregard fueled Preston’s anger.

"Y-yo-you bastard! Just wait!"

"Are you done yet? If you are, please get lost." Dustin waved his hand impatiently as if he was driving a bug away.

"You-!" Preston gritted his teeth.

As he was about to get violent, Miranda tugged on his arm.

"Preston, there’s no need to stoop to levels of such lowlife. People like him can only hope he’ll ever get to our level. He’ll never be as good as us, so all he can do is run his mouth."

"That’s right! Only incompetent people waste their time talking. People with real skills speak with their actions!" Their lackeys added.

"You rascal! You sound sure of yourself. If that’s the case, let’s have a challenge." It was clear that Preston wasn’t pleased. Since he couldn’t win him in an argument, it was time he put his skills to use.

"I’m not interested." Dustin flat-out rejected.

"Hah! Are you not interested, or you don’t have the skills? Or perhaps, you simply don’t have the guts?" Preston snickered as if he had seen through Dustin’s brave act.
