Chapter 248

Justin felt sympathetic as he stared into Maximus' reddened eyes. Not onl

y was the poor chap taken advantage of by his mentor, but he also had his

fiancée taken away. How miserable!

No man could endure the humiliation and resentment of losing his future w

ife. Heck, not even anyone could stand losing a future spouse. It was har

d to imagine that the second–in–

command of Boulderthorn was, in lact, a wicked and dishonorable man.

"Just focus on your recovery for now. When you're fully recovered, it'll

be time to take back what you lost." Dustin gave Maximus an encouraging p

at on the shoulder.

To that, Maximus howled with a desolate expression, "I'll never get bette

r again, not after my core was shattered and my nerves damaged! After los

ing my internal energy, I have nothing left in me

to take revenge. I'm trash! I'm a worthless piece of trash!"

He rolled his fists, digging his fingernails deep into the flesh of his p

alms until blood trickled from between his thumb and index finger. He bad

ly wanted to take his revenge and seek justice, but he had lost the oppor

tunity to do so.

"Who said you're trash? I can heal your injuries," Dustin interjected coo

lly.

"W–

what did you say?" Stunned, Maximus lifted his head almost instantly.

"I said I can heal your injuries and rejuvenate your core," Dustin repeat

ed himself.

"Are you sure? You're not kidding me, right?" Maximus was wide–

eyed with a mix of shock and anticipation.

"Your core suffered some damage, but it's not utterly ruined. There's sti

ll a chance. Rejuvenating your nerves is even simpler. As long as you sti

ck to my treatment, you'll regain full strength within ten days." Dustin

promised.

Maximus' face lit up with joy upon hearing that. He thanked Dustin profus

ely. "If you heal me. I shall owe my life to you. Be it scaling mountains

or diving into the deep

ocean, I'll do whatever you ask of me without a complaint!" He seemed ser

ious about his promise. As a martial artist and a geek for swords, he nev

er had an interest in much else but the pursuit of excellence in swordsma

nship. The moment he learned that his core

was destroyed, he fell into deep despair and even contemplated ending his

life. However, Dustin's remark

reignited his hope and his will to live.

"Okay, that's enough. I'm not a sadist. Why would I send you to the mount

ains and the ocean?" Dustin helped him up. "Consider it fate that you fai

nted right in front of my medical center. It was God's will to have me re

scue you. Get some good rest, and remember not to harness your internal e

nergy in these two days."

"Thank you. You're my savior!" Maximus bowed a few times to Dustin, who s

aid nothing more but wrote a prescription for Caitlyn and reminded her to

prepare the medicine according to the schedule.

At that moment, they heard a deafening crash from the outside. They jumpe

d in shock and hurried out to check the situation. Two cars–

one red and one white–

collided on a street not far away. The red BMW, it appeared, had reversed

and crashed into a white Honda, causing the latter to flip. Both cars we

re mangled beyond recognition, with debris scattered all across the groun

d.

Chapter 248

"Help! Please help my daughter!" A bleeding woman clad in white clothing

climbed out of the white Honda. Due to the impact of the collision, she l

ooked dizzy and feeble. At the same time, a young girl was in the front p

assenger seat; she had lost consciousness. The girl was no older than eig

ht years old, and she seemed to be in a critical state because her abdome

n was pierced by a sharp object.

The woman in white called for help while attempting to save her daughter,

but she failed to open the car door because it was too misshapen.

"Crap!" Dustin's face fell, and he jogged toward the Honda. By then, a cr

owd had formed around the accident. and a few good samaritans offered hel

p. Unfortunately, the collective strength of a few people was insufficien

t to pull the girl out because the Honda was flipped over, and the car do

or remained locked.

As the smoke started billowing from the car, the situation became dire. "

I'll give it a try." Dustin went up and yanked at the door handle. They h

eard a crack, and the entire car door came detached, much to the surprise

of the onlookers.

After Dustin pried the door open, he unfastened the seat belt and quickly

lifted the young girl to the side of the road. She suffered from head tr

auma, multiple fractures across the body, and massive blood loss in the a

bdomen. The situation did not look good at all.

"Quick! Call an ambulance and get her to the hospital!" someone yelled.

"We have no time for that. I'm a doctor. Let me give it a try." After Dus

tin announced his identity, he took out at gold needle and immediately

applied first aid to the girl.

"Get out of my way! All of you!" Right then, two women exited the red BMW

. The mother was a plump lady in her fifties, and the daughter was an att

ractive woman in her twenties. One could tell that they were wealthy from

their branded outfits and the way they were decked in jewelry, like walk

ing Christmas trees.

"Hey! Do you even know how to drive? Are you blind?" Jane Engleton, the p

lump lady, pointed a finger at the woman in white and started scolding he

r.

"Do you know how much our car costs? One million dollars! And it's a new

car!" She added, "You have to compensate us after turning our car into sc

rap metal! If you refuse, I'll

send your family to prison!"

The woman in white was taken aback by the ferocity of Jane Engleton and a

pologized profusely. "I–

I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. I did not see your car just now."

"Is saying sorry enough? Do you take us as pushovers?" Jane pressed on. "

I'm warning you now. You'll pay me what the car's worth. Add the compensa

tion for

mental damages on that, and you're looking at at least 800 thousand to a

million dollars in compensation to get this settled!"

"I–I don't have that money!" The

woman in white almost cried helplessly from the harassment.

"I don't care! Sell your house or your organs. Do what you need to gather

the money, or I'll teach you a lesson!"

Jane threatened the poor woman.

Finally, Dustin had had enough and blurted out, "Can you be more shameles

s? It was you who reversed and

crashed into the white car. How dare you demand compensation from the vic

tim?"

The truth immediately woke the onlookers up. Upon examining the scene of

the accident, it was the BMW that reversed and crashed into the Honda. Th

erefore, the BMW driver should be held fully accountable for the

collision, but she had instead held the victim responsible.

Chapter 246

"Nonsense! She crashed into my car!" Jane remained unfazed and coercive.

"So what if I reversed my car? Her eyes were not focused on the road! Loo

k, the lives of commoners like you are not worth much. Even if they

died in a crash, they totally deserved it!"

The crowd instantly gasped at her outrageous remark.
