Chapter: 902
"Dustin, do you really know Lord Xenos?" Natasha was quite dumbstruck.
"I saved Mrs. Xenos‘ life a few days ago. He owed me a favor," he confessed.
"He owed you a favor? Hah! You really flatter yourself! With Lord Xenos‘ rank, he can call on any reputable doctor he wants from the military. Why does he need the help of a country doctor who’s more form than substance?" Dylan sneered at Dustin.
"Exactly! Dustin, you’re too presumptuous. The audacity to name–drop Lord Xenos so casually! You have no shame at all!" Kate smirked.
"Believe it or not, that’s the truth." Dustin dropped another bombshell, "I cured Mrs. Xenos‘ illness and saved Sir Paul from death!"
Upon hearing this statement, the people around him burst into even louder laughter, staring at Dustin as if he were a complete clown.
"Are you seriously telling me that Sir Paul came here because of you?" Dylan snickered.
"Absolutely." Dustin nodded matter–of–factly.
Dylan threw his head back as he laughed.
"Oh, Dustin, I never thought you could be so thick- skinned! That was eye–opening!"
"Natasha, I never thought you’d fall for an incompetent man who bluffs," Kate made a cynical jab, jumping on the opportunity to insult her cousin.
"That was embarrassing! I felt second–hand embarrassment just watching!" Zoey shook her head from the crowd.
Zeke, with a derisive look on his face, added, "To be honest, I kind of admire his ability to lie with a straight face."
Gordon snickered.
"Well, a thick–skinned man is practically invincible."
No one believed that a loser like Dustin, who had neither authority nor influence, was somehow acquainted with a big shot like Paul Hill.
"What’s so funny?" Dustin asked nonchalantly.
"What’s not funny about the entire thing? Sir Paul is a legendary figure in the martial arts field and a grandmaster. It’s rather ridiculous to boast about saving his life, don’t you think?"
Without a word, Dustin slammed an ornate silver badge onto the table. Engraved on it was the Hill family’s last name–a Consultant Badge!
When the crowd took a good look at the badge, they collectively gasped as their smiles froze.
"I thought you guys love to laugh at others. Why aren’t you laughing now?"
"I thought you guys love to laugh at others. Why aren’t you laughing now?" After Dustin displayed his Consultant Badge, he openly confronted those who had looked down upon him.
