My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness



Vienlock Toxin was a truly cruel poison.

It left the victim conscious and forced them to slowly experience their demise. It was a fate far crueler than an instant death.

"It's a rare poison crafted by the Five Venoms Sect. It's seldom used. It has only been used twice in history," Dustin said in a calm but sharp voice. "The Five Venoms Sect?" Gasps filled the room as faces paled.

"But didn't they get wiped out years ago?"

Once a notorious cult of evil, the Five Venoms Sect had been eradicated by the Martial League.

Gareth furrowed his brow skeptically. He looked visibly unconvinced.

"The Five Venoms Sect has been gone for decades. You can say whatever you like. If you're so capable, then save Mr. McCall first. Words mean nothing."

"Mr. Dox, please," Allison said pleadingly. Her voice cracked in desperation. Her tear-filled eyes searched for hope. "Save my grandfather... I'll do anything you want!"

Dustin cast a scornful glance at Gareth before stepping toward the bed.

With a flick of his wrist, Dustin brought out three pills.

"The first pill will cleanse the blood!" he declared as he fed the first pill to the patient. Then, Dustin touched Jonathan's forehead to take his temperature.

"The second pill will revitalize the organs!" He fed the second pill to the patient and checked his heartbeat.

The fluidity of Dustin's technique left the room spellbound. Physicians who had dismissed him as a charlatan moments ago watched in hushed awe. Could this unassuming young man truly hold such mastery?

No one noticed Gareth's face hardened as his earlier smirk vanished.novelbin

His eyes bulged and fixed on Dustin's every move.

Dustin held the final pill aloft. "The third pill will awaken him from his unconscious state!"

Then, he fed Jonathan the last pill.

The pills seemed to have activated a mysterious energy within Jonathan. A low and resonating hum filled the air. It was coming from Jonathan's body. Suddenly, he convulsed violently.

"Ugh—"

A guttural sound escaped Jonathan's lips as he coughed up a foul, tar-like blood that sizzled.

The acrid stench turned heads, but the message was clear: the poison was being purged.

"He really was poisoned!" murmured the crowd of physicians in astonishment.

Gareth's face turned ashen.

"This... this is the Life-Returning Technique!" he stammered in a trembling voice.

Recognition hit him like a thunderbolt. He had witnessed this technique once before from someone before.

It was a method to steal life back from death itself. It was a skill of mythical proportions.

Paired with the infamous

et

Life-Returning Pills, it was no less than the work of a legendary figure whose name carried equal parts reverence and terror.

The realization caused his composure to crumble.

Even though Gareth prided himself on his high status, he could not help but acknowledge the miraculous power of the Life-Returning Technique.

He stared at Dustin as his face turned ashen.

He finally realized who Dustin truly was.

He was that person's disciple.

Fear coursed through him at the mere thought of the master who had taught Dustin.

"Ugh..."

On the bed, Jonathan let out a long breath. His labored breathing evened out as life visibly returned to his pallid face. His condition improved at a rate no one thought possible.

"He... he's recovering!" The room buzzed with disbelief as the so-called renowned experts exchanged stunned glances. None of them had even diagnosed the problem, let alone offered a cure.

“Grandpapa..."

Allison's voice trembled with surprise as she rushed to the bedside. Tears streamed down her face as she confirmed his recovery.

Her radiant smile lit up the room. Her joy was so infectious that it left several onlookers momentarily mesmerized.

"Mr. Dox, thank you... Thank you so much," she said earnestly. Her gaze was filled with gratitude and newfound admiration.

Her reaction did not go unnoticed by Arthur, whose face darkened with fury.

He had summoned Gareth himself, yet all their efforts were in vain. A mere "nobody" had succeeded where he had failed. Worse, he had won Allison's favor in the process. His anger flared.

Dustin's gaze lingered on Allison. She was undeniably beautiful. Her elegant figure only accentuated her stunning features.

Having a woman like this as his wife? Perhaps it would not be a bad idea.
