“Wha-” Dustin’s smile immediately dropped from his face the moment he saw who it was that came in

through the door His smile was replaced by hostility “Who let you in? Get out!”

“Don’t be mistaken, I’m just here to see my daughter-in-law This has nothing to do with you” Rufus

chuckled merrily as he hobbled in through the door

“Do you do you know each other?” Dahlia looked from one to the other, perplexed.

“You’re Dahlia, aren’t you? As expected, what a beauty! Rufus beamed brightly “Oh, right, I haven’t

introduced myself. I’m Dustin’s father, your father-in-law

“Dustin’s father?” Dahlia was taken aback by the piece of information Though there wasn’t exactly

anything special about Dustin, he had exceptionally good looks He was a fine specimen of a man if

anything However, this old man before her was the farthest thing from handsome The two were vastly

different in the looks department

“What? We don’t look alike?” Rufus chuckled nonchalantly This lad looks like his mom, so it makes

sense that we look nothing like each other If he looked like me, I guess he’d never find himself such a

beautiful wife like you ”

‘Don’t say that, Mi Rhys You carry an air of prowess about you Dahlia felt a little awkward that he saw

through her doubt so easily

“Rufus Rhys’ You saw the person you were here to meet Now, would you please leave? You’re not

welcome here” Dustin exclaimed out of nowhere

“Hey, watch it! That’s rude” Dahlia shot Dustin a glare. Then, she swiftly turned around and smiled

apologetically at Rufus ‘Mr Rhys, Dustin’s just in a foul mood today Don’t mind him. Please, have a

seat I’ll go make you a cup of tea

“Great Rufus grinned

“Hmph’ Another freeloader” Florence looked Rufus up and down as she studied him haughtily. She

could tell from his attire that he wasn’t a wealthy person Sure enough, the apple doesn’t fall far from the

tree The slacker’s father was a bum too

“This must be my in-law Unfortunately, I haven’t got much for you. As this is our first meeting, all I’ve

got for you is this little gift. Please don’t mind it Rufus produced a box from his pocket and handed it to

her

Florence was awe-struck when she opened up the box to take a quick look inside. A sapphire the size

of an egg was laid inside the box. It was so clear and exquisite. “This thing. It isn’t a fake -stone, is it?”

Florence strongly doubted that it was a genuine gemstone. It was rare enough to come by a regular

sapphire the size of one’s fingernail. But this one was the size of an egg! It was shocking, to say the

least.

“No way. This is a family heirloom” Rufus laughed

“An heirloom? That’s great!” Florence immediately broke out into a wide smile when she heard that.

She reckoned that he was a fool to give her something so precious. A sapphire of that size

“How do you know such a prominent person?” She asked dubiously.

“I helped him before, so I guess he’s just repaying me a favor.” Dustin chuckled

Adam had been a sickly kid who had constantly been bullied, so Dustin would stand up against those

rich and arrogant youths of Stonia for him and often taught them a lesson for messing with Adam.

Because of that, Dustin even earned himself the nickname “vile demon”.

“I never would have guessed that you’d be affiliated with such an important person. How did I not know

this before?” Dahlia asked, curious

“These are old-time stories No point bringing them up. ” Dustin shook his head.

“Alright then. I will not probe too much into your past. But in the future, please do not act rashly,” Dahlia

warned in all earnestness. “It’s not every day you get favors from people like him. If you bother him too

often, Mr. Spanner won’t want to help you all the time. You have to rely on yourself.

H

“You don’t have to worry. I know what I’m doing.” Dustin smiled.

As they spoke, a hunched, middle-aged man with gray hair knocked on the door and made his way in.

It was none other than Rufus Rhys, the King of Theswe!
