"Say that again?" Scarlet's expression was frosty. She pointed the tip of her sword against Natasha's throat. If she just pushed forward an inch more, Natasha would easily end up dead. "Hmm?" Natasha frowned at the sight of the blade against her throat. She hadn't expected Scarlet to have such a bad temper and draw her sword without a word. She was also certain that Scarlet was serious. If she provoked her further, she would be as good as dead. It seemed like she had met her match. This woman before her was harder to deal with than Dahlia. "Stop it!" Amid their deadlock, Dustin suddenly rushed in. "Dustin, you're here!" Scarlet immediately sheathed her sword. Her previous cold demeanor was replaced by a smile."Scarlet, what were you doing earlier?" Dustin frowned, evidently displeased. "Nothing, I was just joking around with Ms. Harmon," Scarlet said with a smile. "Joking around?" Dustin turned to Natasha and asked softly, "Are you hurt?""I'm fine. I was bored e

Half an hour later, two luxury cars slowly pulled up in front of A'roma. The doors opened, and Dustin and his group got off one after the other. A'roma was a newly opened restaurant. It was known for its excellent ambiance, service, and food. The restaurant had garnered favorable reviews. There were many high-ranking officials and prominent figures who frequented the place. They had made a prior reservation. Thus, a few senior waitresses promptly led Dustin and his group to the second floor. On the second floor was the VIP area. Regular VIP patrons sat in the main hall, with decorative screens placed between tables.Meanwhile, higher-tiered VIPs had private rooms. They enjoyed a better experience in terms of environment and services. "Ms. Harmon, this way, please." A senior waitress dressed in a white shirt smiled as she led the group. She brought them to the entrance of a private room named Celestial Room 3.She opened the door and was about to walk in when a woman dress

Dustin found it amusing. "Is this the kind of service A'roma provides? Requesting us to switch rooms for no apparent reason and not even being polite about it? "Are you trying to take advantage of your customers?"How were they supposed to enjoy their meal when they were being forced to switch rooms for a few people?"What exactly do you want, sir?" Sue was unhappy. "Are you saying you should be compensated? Fine, as long as you agree to switch rooms, I'll cover the cost of a complimentary fruit platter. That should do it, right?" She looked at him in disdain. "Firstly, I don't need compensation. Secondly, offering us a mere fruit platter as compensation? What do you take us for? Beggars?"In a restaurant, the customer usually came first. Yet, the woman before him seemed to ignore that completely. "You better not be difficult, sir. We have rules in this restaurant. If you're unhappy, you're always welcome to leave!" Sue was annoyed. Their restaurant was booming. Losing a f

"Ugh …" Sue couldn't breathe. As her feet dangled in the air, her face turned red. A sense of impending doom spread through her. She never expected the silent white-haired woman to be that strong. She was able to lift her up effortlessly with just one hand. She had no doubt that if the woman exert some force into it, her neck would snap."No need, just two slaps as a lesson will do," Dustin said."Okay." Scarlet nodded and delivered two hard slaps. The slaps left Sue dazed and disoriented. Her teeth were knocked out, and her nose was bleeding. After hitting her, Scarlet threw her out the door like a piece of trash.Sue coughed violently, and her face was pale and swollen. It took her a while to recover."You … you guys are too much! I will not let you get away with this!"Sue grimaced and made her way downstairs in a rush. However, as soon as she reached the foot of the staircase, she collided with a group of people. Tumbling to the ground, she let out cries of pain. "

Dustin got up from his seat slowly and turned to face them. When he saw Florence and her group, he was slightly taken aback. What a small world."Another one?" Natasha frowned when she noticed Dahlia. She hadn't even finished dealing with Scarlet, and now Dahlia had joined the scene. It felt like she was being played by some cosmic joke. "Dustin? It's you!" Florence's expression darkened after she took a good look at the person before her. "Why are you here? You're not tailing us, are you?""Don't overthink it. We're just here to have a meal," Dustin replied impassively."A meal? Hmph! Who knows if you're telling the truth."Florence was doubtful. "You must have heard about our newfound wealth and planned this coincidental meeting. I've encountered plenty of people like you! You're trying to find an opportunity to gain favor with us!""That's right!" Julie chimed in haughtily. "Rhys! I'm warning you to keep your distance! Our social status puts us way out of your leagu

Natasha and Dahlia locked eyes in a fierce standoff. Their gazes were engaged in an intense battle of wills. The two women each possessed a unique charm and captivating beauty. At that moment, they exhibited a strong desire to outdo each other. "Ms. Harmon, I'd rather not engage in a verbal confrontation with you. The truth speaks for itself. "You've occupied our room. If you refuse to leave, don't blame me for calling the cops," Dahlia spoke again. Her tone was calm but assertive."Feel free to call the cops." Natasha smiled weakly, showing no fear."Dahlia, these people are truly shameless. There's no need to be polite with them. Just have someone kick them out!" Florence was getting annoyed."That's right! This is clearly the room we reserved. What makes them think they can just occupy it forcefully? They're too much!" Julie chimed in.Right then, the restaurant's security personnel had gathered in the room. When Florence saw them, she yelled, "What are you doing just st

"I …" Sue was at a loss for words.She wanted to argue further but hesitated. She could sense that Dahlia had grown angry. "You useless trash!" Right then, Florence couldn't hold back any longer and slapped Sue across the face. She yelled, "You can't even secure us a room? What good are you for? You've made a fool out of me!""Madam Franklin, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." Sue held her burning cheek. She held back her anger and apologized profusely, appearing extremely subservient. "What's the point of apologizing? How are you going to resolve this issue? Do you know that we have important guests arriving soon?" Florence snapped. This useless person not only failed in her task but also humiliated her in front of Dustin. It was simply unforgivable."Madam Franklin, why don't we head to Terra Room 1? The atmosphere there is quite pleasant," Sue suggested tentatively. Florence delivered another slap across her face. She roared, "Are you stupid? People of our stature should

Dustin found it amusing how arrogant Florence was behaving.From her actions and attire, Dustin guessed that she must have met a benefactor who had brought her entire family to immense riches. Not only were they rich now, but they also possessed power and status.She was already rude and haughty before they were rich and powerful. Now that they were, she went from bad to worse. But Dustin wasn't surprised that she'd act this way."Hey! I'm talking to you! Do you hear me? Name your price! I'm really busy and don't have time for your games!"Florence held a gold card between her fingers, looking every part a wealthy woman."I'm afraid you won't be able to afford the price I have in mind." Dustin shook his head."We can't afford it?" Florence broke out in cackles as she shot Dustin a ridiculous look."Hey Rhys! You really look down on us, don't you? Do you know our status now? Do you know how loaded we are?"See this gold card here? The amount I have in here is enough to shock y

Austin's words were calm and almost casual. Yet, they struck like thunder and echoed in the hearts of the three assistant generals of the Red Legion.If they answered Austin's questions, there might still be a slim chance of survival. But if they refused, death was the only outcome.After all, who would willingly choose death when they had worked so hard to achieve their wealth and status? Yet, pride and dignity held them back. They didn't want to be branded as traitors.Now, they were caught in a dilemma. Which was more important—their honor or their lives? It was an impossible choice."You have ten seconds left. If you don't speak, you'll lose your chance." Austin's voice was utterly devoid of emotion.His words seemed to pierce their souls, and the three Red Legion assistant generals broke into a cold sweat.As the countdown neared its end, Auron finally couldn't hold back. "Your Highness! I'll talk—I'll tell you everything."Dropping to his knees, he scrambled forward and wa

Axel swallowed hard, shock written all over his face. He had always known the Draken Guardians were formidable, but he had never expected them to be this lethal.He had pushed himself to his limit just to hold his own against Connor and Dave, only to end up seriously wounded. Yet, when the Draken Guardians arrived, they wiped them out—along with several dozen Red Legion soldiers—without losing a single man.If Axel hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the Red Legion, a force renowned for its elite soldiers, could be so easily crushed. Or perhaps it wasn't that the Red Legion was weak, but that the Draken Guardians were far stronger than anyone had imagined.Even their most ordinary members were strong enough to become a mighty general. As for those at the level of captain, their strength was far beyond Axel's. The lethality of a team made up of such skilled experts had reached the point of being an overwhelming force."Mr. Cruz, please arrange some

"Damn it! This punk's tougher than I thought. We're in real trouble if this keeps up," Connor said, swinging his twin blades relentlessly. Every strike was aimed at Axel's vital points.But Axel was quick. He weaved in and out of reach and avoided direct confrontation. It was obvious he was just stalling for time."Sir Prescott should be far enough by now. There's no point dragging this out. Let's fall back."Sensing the futility of their efforts, Dave considered retreating. He didn't fear death, but he wasn't about to waste his life for nothing.Since Warrick had escaped, their interception mission was also completed."You guys hold him off. The rest of you, fall back with me."Connor was decisive. Realizing they weren't making any progress, he quickly ordered a retreat and left a few decoys behind to buy time.They had barely run a hundred yards when a wave of soldiers suddenly appeared at the alley's entrance. Hundreds, maybe even thousands, filled the narrow space and comple

"This punk's a real pain in the ass!"Connor glanced over his shoulder and noticed Axel was still hot on their trail.The squad he had sent to intercept Axel was completely outmaneuvered, and they couldn't get anywhere near him.To Connor's dismay, Axel kept shooting off signal flares as he pursued them. Each flare gave away their position. At this rate, it didn't matter which direction they ran—they were bound to be intercepted."Connor! Dave! Make a move and swat that damn fly," Warrick ordered decisively."If we leave, who's going to protect you?" Connor hesitated.Warrick was in bad shape. Without them guarding him, a single attack from an expert could be fatal."If you don't take out that fly, I'll be in even more danger. Get moving now!" Warrick snapped."Yes, sir!"Connor and Dave exchanged a glance before splitting up with their squads to surround Axel.They both knew what was at stake. If they didn't take Axel down quickly, their entire force would be stranded and do

"Kill them all!"At Warrick's command, the Red Legion charged without hesitation. Blades flashed as they stormed toward the elite enforcement unit.This time, nearly a thousand Red Legion soldiers arrived. With their sheer numbers, they launched a pincer attack from both flanks, leaving the enemy with no way to fend it off."Form the Shield Formation!" Axel shouted upon seeing the dire situation. His men immediately sheathed their blades and raised their shields to form a defensive line. Their pursuit had cut them off from the main force. Since they were up against an enemy ten times their size, forming a defensive line was their best option.If they could stall for even a moment, reinforcements from the castle would arrive, and the tide would turn in their favor. Once that happened, the thousand-strong Red Legion would be the ones on the defensive.After a brief charge, the two forces collided.Warrick had personally trained the Red Legion. He selected only the most loyal and

Axel had no time to hesitate. He lunged forward and grabbed the overturned Dragon-Binding Net. Then, he used every ounce of his strength to pin Warrick down again."Get over here! We have to keep him restrained."As the net strained under Warrick's sheer power, Axel let out a roar and pushed his cultivation to the limit. His veins bulged and blood pounded in his ears. He threw every last bit of strength into holding Warrick down.For now, he managed to pin Warrick down, but the elite enforcement unit on the other side wasn't faring well. Warrick thrashed wildly, sending more than a dozen men swinging through the air. Some slammed into trees, while others crashed into walls. Within moments, the Dragon-Binding Net flipped over again.Several elite enforcement units tried to rush in and help, but they barely got close before getting hit by their own airborne comrades and sent flying.Against Warrick's Divine Strength, they were utterly outmatched. The regular guards didn't stand a

If Warrick had been at his peak, Axel might have been more cautious. But with Tranqurin coursing through his vein, Warrick had barely a fraction of his usual strength left. His power was still fading, and Axel wasn't about to waste the opportunity. He had to capture Warrick while he had the chance."Get the hell out of my way!"As the enforcers closed in, Warrick let out a furious roar and slammed his massive fist into the floor.With a loud explosion, the earth shook violently. The ground within dozens of yards cracked and caved in, splitting apart like a spiderweb. A powerful shockwave tore through the air, sending dirt flying and walls shattering. The entire meeting room collapsed into ruins.The elite enforcers, caught in the blast, were flung backward like ragdolls. They crashed to the ground, disoriented and battered. Even Axel was thrown back more than ten yards.Warrick panted heavily, his face pale and drenched in sweat. Forcing his internal energy into action had only

Austin's words were strong and commanding, each one landing like a thunderclap.Warrick felt the weight of his presence. His brow furrowed for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He glanced at the so-called evidence on the floor, showing no sign of panic or guilt. Instead, he said indifferently, "Your Highness, these dead men were nothing more than ants. Is this really worth making such a fuss over? I doubt you haven't killed anyone before."As the old saying went, the higher one climbed, the heavier one's purse. Warrick had clawed his way up, risking his life at every step for the sake of rising above the masses. Everyone had their own desires—some sought fame, others fortune. Some were greedy for money, some for power, and others reveled in the adoration of the masses. To achieve those things, one inevitably had to engage in shady dealings. It was an unspoken rule among officials, and Warrick saw nothing wrong with it."Ants?" Austin sneered. "Without these 'ant

The ashen-faced Huxley was dragged away. With his crimes exposed, his fate was sealed. His entire family would be implicated, and their assets would be seized.Those guilty would be punished, and even those who had merely benefited from his corruption would be held accountable. To put it bluntly, Huxley's entire family was about to be annihilated.Austin issued his next order once the bloodstains were cleaned up. "Axel, it's time to bring in the mastermind."With Huxley dealt with, the next step was to confront Warrick. Unlike Huxley, Warrick wouldn't be easy to deal with. After all, he commanded a large number of troops. If backed into a corner, he could become a major threat."Understood!" Axel responded respectfully, then turned to his subordinates. "Gather more men and come with me."Warrick had earned his prestigious position through years of fierce battles. On the battlefield, he was a one-man army, a warrior capable of taking on thousands. His strength was beyond what mos
