Chapter 429 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Looking at the crushed Gemiphen, Nicholas was heartbroken and furious. He didnât care about his Image anymore and immediately threw himself to the ground, collecting the powder bit by bit.
It left everyone dumbfounded. Was it necessary to make such a fuss over a broken pill?
âMr. Turner, whatâs going on?â Spring was perplexed. People from Stoneray Valley were usually proud and arrogant. They had never lost their composure like that.
âWhatâs going on? How dare you ask me such a question?â Nicholas angrily retorted, âHow can you destroy a panacea? This is a very rare pill. Such a waste! Who is the idiot who did this?!â
âMr. Turner, are you mistaken? How could this black broken thing be a panacea? Torben looked skeptical.
âYouâre such a fool!â Nicholas stared at him like he was an idiot. âWhat you call a broken thing is the Golden Crow Pill, a holy medicine for healing! It specializes in treating various internal injuries and chronic ailments. Your grandfatherâs life could have been saved!â
âWhat?â
Everyoneâs faces changed upon hearing that. Although they didnât know what Gemephin was. The fact that it
could treat their fatherâs internal injuries and that Nicholas held it in such high regard indicated that it was no
ordinary item.
âYou wastrels! You bunch of wastrels! To think that such a miraculous healing tablet was treated like garbage
by all of you. How foolish!â Feeling his heart aching. Nicholas pounded his chest and stomped his feet.
As an elder of Stoneray Valley, he held precious tablets in higher regard than anything else. His heart was
bleeding to see the Gemiphen get destroyed.
âTorben! Look at the mess youâve caused! You destroyed a medicine that could save Grandfather. How will you explain yourself to everyone?â Patrick shouted sternly.
âI⦠I didnât know this thing could save a life.â Torben stammered, feeling guilty. âBesides, this wouldnât have happened if you had explained it clearly earlier.â
âYou make a mistake, and now youâre trying to blame me?â Patrickâs face turned cold.
âEnough, enough! Itâs just a pill. If itâs destroyed, then itâs destroyed. Just get another one. Why make such a fuss?â Autumn continued to defend Torben.
âUncle, do you think this is a common cabbage? Do you think we can just conjure another one out of thin air? It was a gift from my friend. Who knows if thereâs another one?â Patrick frowned. Not only did Torben make a
mistake, but he also remained stubborn. It was truly unreasonable.
âPatrick, letâs not dwell on this for now. Saving Grandfather is the priority. Contact your friend immediately and
have them deliver the Gemiphen as soon as possible!â Spring urged.
âAlright, Iâll try to ask. Knowing how urgent the situation was, Patrick didnât hesitate and immediately dialed
Dustinâs number. He briefly explained the situation to Dustin.

Dustin didnât refuse him. After asking for the address, he rushed over. Within half an hour, he arrived at the Hill familyâs residence.
âDustin, youâre finally here! Come on in!âPatrick had been waiting for him and immediately led him inside when he saw Dustin exiting the car. Before long, they reached Paulâs room.
âHey! Is this your friend? Can he be trusted?â As soon as they entered, Torben blocked their way. He sized Dustin up and down, full of doubt.
He looked like a young boy. Could someone like him really treat illnesses?
âDonât worry. Heâs definitely more reliable than you!â Patrick said coldly.
âAccording to the rules, we need to frisk you before entering. Raise your hands and stand against the wall,â Torben ordered.
âFrisk me?â Dustin frowned and said in a displeased tone. âYou invited me here to treat your grandfather, yet you treat me like a criminal. Is that appropriate?â
âThese are our rules. Strangers must be thoroughly searched. Who knows if youâre carrying weapons?â Torben said condescendingly.
âTorben! Donât go too far!â
