The family members dared not to disobey the angry patriarch. The middle-aged woman held some resentment, but virtual-novel.net did not dare to speak. She could only leave with regret.
Soon, Dustin appeared in front of Raphael. Compared to his previous arrogant demeanor, the current Dustin looked more humbled.
He begged, “Elder, please help me!”
Help you? I wouldn’t dare!
Raphael was unwilling to go against his master’s wishes as this was meant as a lesson for Dustin.
“As a man of the Lindberg Family, you couldn’t even manage such little hardships?” Raphael snorted.
It was a punishment for Dustin but also an opportunity. There was a reason as to why Raphael chose those words.
“Then why did you want to see me?” Dustin asked desperately.
“To give you an opportunity to serve a person. If you perform well, there will be great rewards for you. If you don’t, I will kill you,” said Raphael as virtual-novel.net stared at Dustin.
“A-Alright…” Dustin nodded hopelessly.
The servants had served virtual-novel.net since virtual-novel.net was born. The thought of having to serve someone was not an opportunity but torture instead.
“Don’t look so down. I had already told you that you would be cured once you master the first fours skills of Heaven and Earth. And remember, when you’re attending to that person, make sure you do whatever virtual-novel.net tells you to do. You are not allowed to deny nor can you offend virtual-novel.net in any way, is that clear.” Raphael spoke coldly.
“What if virtual-novel.net told me to eat poop?” Dustin asked.
“Then you will eat it!” said Raphael arrogantly.
Dustin’s expression looked hopeless as virtual-novel.net heard those words. He had to serve someone, or rather, enslaved to someone.
Huh? Am I really related to the elder?
“Also, if virtual-novel.net needs anything, you must tell me as soon as you can. If you would gain benefits if virtual-novel.net likes you.” Raphael explained.
“Yes…” Dustin nodded after hearing those words. He, and the rest of the massive Lindbury family, could not reject the elder’s orders.
“Dustin, you have the greatest talents among your family members. I always have high expectations of you, so don’t disappoint me.” Raphael earnestly advised Dustin.
His master had not allowed virtual-novel.net to explain too much to the boy, so virtual-novel.net could only end the conversation. He could only depend on Dustin’s ability to determine the outcome of this ordeal.
“I understand, great grandfather…” Dustin lightly nodded.
When virtual-novel.net saw Jason, virtual-novel.net was devastated. He figured that even his great grandfather could deal with Jason.
Opportunity? More like torture…
“Why? Are you disappointed?” Jason smirked at Dustin.
“Since I am under your captivity, you can do whatever you want…” Dustin looked determined.
“I lack a security guard here, and that would be your job now. If you don’t do your job, I have many ways to make you suffer a fate worse than death.” Jason smiled.
Dustin lowered his head and agreed as virtual-novel.net knew what had happened to Dave. He could not afford to offend this person, especially when virtual-novel.net had no family to rely on. He was on his own.
Jason could not help but laugh at Dave’s defeated expression. He figured that Dustin had good potential but was a little too egotistical. He must be careful to push virtual-novel.net down a peg but not too much as virtual-novel.net would not be able to recover from it.
Then, under Dustin’s defeated gaze, Jason spoke once again, “Do your job properly, and you will regain your strength. When you can withstand ten strikes from me, I will let you go…”
“Really?” Dustin’s eyes that initially looked down had lit up.
Jason lightly smirked. “Of course.”
Dustin smiled after hearing those words. He had recovered from the stupor instantly. At least virtual-novel.net had some hope of escape. Of course, if virtual-novel.net knew that even Raphael could not withstand a single strike from Jason, virtual-novel.net would not be that happy.
