Chapter: 978

"Mr. Doyle, my skills are limited. There’s nothing I can do." Nicholas shook his head.

"If you can’t do it, what about Dr. Linden Watkins? Can you please get him to treat my son?" Phil was anxious.

"Dr. Watkins is in seclusion and refuses to meet anyone. Even if he did treat your son and heal hist core, your son won’t be able to recover his abilities immediately as they are lost. He would need to start all over." Nicholas was feeling truly helpless.

"Start all over?" The blood drained from Phil’s face when he heard the news. It took his son more than 20 years of hard work to reach where he was today. It would be too late to start all over again. He was now akin to a crippled man.

"Dad…" Terry suddenly opened his eyes and cried out weakly.

"Quick… get my mentor, Mr. Augustus Kline, here quickly. Only he can save me now!"

Phil’s eyes brightened. That’s right! I almost forgot about him. I’ll contact him right away!"

Augustus Kline was one of the five ultimate grandmasters of Balerno. He possessed remarkable abilities and was seemingly invincible. With the appearance of such a revered figure, he would definitely turn the situation around.

"Dustin Rhys! When my mentor gets here, I’m going to make sure you are crushed into pieces!" Terry growled menacingly. However, the intensity of his anger made him spit out blood, and he fainted on the spot.

That night, in the second-floor office of the Flame Dragon Dojo.

"Sir Rhys, you were so cool today! Not only did you show the Doyle family who’s boss, but you also made the Flame Dragon Gang famous all across Balerno! We have around a thousand members now, and they all admire you greatly!" Nelson poured Dustin a cup of coffee while he showered him with compliments; his excitement and elation were evident.

He’d been worried that the Doyles would seize the opportunity and take revenge on them if Dustin. lost. He didn’t expect their gang leader to be so incredible. Against all odds, Dustin turned the tide. and achieved a resounding victory over Terry. He had become famous through a single battle.

"That’s enough, you’ve said that a million times now. Can’t you say something new?" Dustin was speechless. Ever since Dustin’s return, Nelson had been flattering him in various ways, singing all sorts of praises that Dustin could think of. If people didn’t know any better, they would think Nelson was flirting with Dustin from the look on Nelson’s face.

"You want something new? No problem!" Nelson grinned as he said, "Sir Rhys, did you know that after your victory, many talented individuals have sought to join our gang? I’ve tested out their skills, and every one of them is no ordinary talent. With a little training, they could turn out to be the backbone of our gang! If this continues, I believe the Flame Dragon Gang would become. Millsburg’s largest gang within three years!"

Dustin nodded in response.

"Not bad. This is good news. But remember: quality over quantity. Don’t recruit anyone with questionable characters. It would be advantageous to him if the Flame, Dragon Gang expanded well. However, he had to clearly plan out their expansion, lest it led to internal conflicts.

"Hehe… No need to worry, Sir Rhys. I’m skilled in that area, I’ll be able to tell their character from just one look." Nelson grinned confidently. He’d been part of the martial world for many years. While he didn’t possess any extraordinary abilities, he was always right when it came to reading people.

"Oh, by the way, the most important task is finding the murderer. Make sure not to slack off in that regard," Dustin reminded him.

"My men have been working hard on investigating. I believe we will have results soon." Nelson turned serious.

Dustin nodded.

"Okay. Let me know immediately if you get any news. You can go now."

"Alright." Nelson left after responding..
