Chapter 1155

Author: Marina Vittori
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

    "You … you're shameless!" Florence was so angry her face was flushed as she gritted her teeth.She had meant to flaunt her riches. But the rascal embarrassed her in front of everyone! He was despicable!"I've stated my price. Now, you have two options. You either pay the sum I asked for or get lost!" Dustin wasn't in the mood to play nice."You're too much! You've gone overboard!" Florence was livid. Ever since her sudden rise in status, she had never experienced anything as embarrassing as this."What's going on?"A tall, lanky man who was all suited up strode over with his head held high. All the restaurant's security made way for him as soon as he arrived.The man was Lou Geek, the owner of A'roma."Lou! You're finally here!" Sue was elated when she saw him. She quickly hurried over to his side.Lou was not only her boyfriend but also her powerful backer. He had status, power, and connections. And most importantly, his connections reached both the authorities and the under

    Lou's words were rude and harsh, and he showed no courtesy to Dustin.Dustin had intended to be reasonable and talk things out. But upon hearing that, his expression darkened. No wonder all the staff at A'roma were so arrogant. It was because they had such an arrogant boss!"Hey! Didn't you hear what he said? Get lost!" Sue barked."So this is how you run the place, by throwing customers out. Seems to me like you're not interested in business," Dustin said icily."It's not that we're not interested in business. We're just not interested in business from you!"Lou continued boldly, "I run the place, so what I say goes. I don't like the looks of you, so all of you better get the hell out of here within one minute, or I'll get things done my way."The crowd immediately made a big commotion when they heard that, urging Dustin to leave."Well, Rhys? The owner has made it clear that he wants you out of here. Why are you so shameless to stay?" Florence smirked as she folded her arms

    Everyone who was involved in the underworld knew that the Kirin Gang was in control of the entire underworld of Millsburg. No other influences dared to go against them.So when they saw the disciples of Kirin Gang charging in, the guards were all intimidated."Whoa, I never knew that the rascal actually wielded some power." Victoria was taken aback."Hah! They're just some thugs who do not deserve our attention," Julie remarked disdainfully."Exactly! Insignificant and incapable thugs! Mr. Geek will be able to handle them easily enough." Florence acted all high and mighty.She would have been intimidated by the likes of them in the past. But now, they were nothing to her. After all, Sir Mosey's power was on an entirely different level."Sir Rhys, is something the matter?"Cornelius came running up to the second floor with their men in tow."A'roma is pushing their customers around, and I'm not happy with that. Shut the place down. This place will be closed indefinitely from now

    "You want a fight?"Cornelius grinned when he saw the guards charging toward them. "Boys, you have three minutes. Go for it!""Alright!" The disciples of Kirin Gang were excited. They rubbed their fist on their palm as they went up to face them.Cornelius was the leader of Shadow Gang, and all the members were formidable figures who had escaped Azkaban. They were considered the elites even within the Kirin Gang.And now, after Dustin's vigorous training, their abilities have improved by leaps and bounds. Any one of them could easily take out a hundred opponents in one go.They would not lose out to any major guild in the martial world, much less these mediocre guards.As expected, it was immediately clear who was winning once the fight started.The disciples of Kirin Gang, who used to be from Shadow Gang, quickly crushed the guards in no time.In under three minutes, all 30 guards were sprawled on the ground. They were so badly hurt that they couldn't even move. "Trash! What

    Why was Dustin so stubborn? Dahlia had spoken to him nicely and even offered to help him, but he did not appreciate it."Hmph! You've said all you can, but they insist on doing things their way. In that case, they deserve what they're about to get, Dahlia. Let them be."Florence crossed her arms over her chest as she looked at Dustin in distaste."Dahlia, you're too kind. These people are trying to steal the private room, and yet you're helping them? There's no need to be so kind to people like them." Julie shook her head."Exactly, Dahlia. Some people need to be taught a lesson to be put in their place!" Victoria exclaimed huffily."Forget it. I shall stay out of your business then." Dahlia's expression was cold as she backed off and went to take a seat in the corner.Somehow, she felt some inexplicable frustration when Dustin turned down her offer to help him. It just came on suddenly and took over her.What was going on with her? He was just a stranger that she'd met a handfu

    "Pretty chick?" Lou was dumbfounded by what Vlad said.Dustin had the looks, but no matter how Lou looked at him, he could tell he was a man. So what did Vlad mean by calling him a pretty chick?Could Vlad possibly be differently inclined? Lou shuddered at the thought."Alright, alright! Who'd have guessed that I'd luck out today? There are two such pretty chicks here!"Vlad rubbed his chin with a lecherous look in his eyes. His gaze traveled between Natasha and Scarlet. One was exquisitely charming, while the other was cold and alluring.They both had looks to die for but with vastly different airs. As they sat quietly, they looked like pieces of art waiting for him to appreciate, caress, and enjoy.Compared to these two stunning beauties, the models and actresses he had been with were plain. They did not even hold a candle to these two.It was a rare enough occurrence to meet someone of their beauty, but to meet two of them at once! It was definitely a stroke of good luck for

    "Hey, rascal, I'm giving you another chance. Get on your knees and beg. Also, give those two exquisite beauties behind you to me, or I'll make sure you die a terrible death!" Vlad threatened venomously.He was just a man who mooched off the women around him! How could he deserve the two bombshells? Only the powerful and prestigious like him deserved them!"And I'm also giving you your last chance. Get lost, or I'll break your legs!" Dustin warned."You've got a fucking death wish!" Vlad was all riled up and threw a punch straight at Dustin.As a son of the Grants, he could be incompetent in many aspects, but he had been forced into practicing martial arts at a young age. And for no other reason than to show off and impress girls."You overestimate yourself." Dustin scoffed. With a raise of his hand, he slapped Vlad and knocked him to the ground.For a moment, Vlad lost all sense of direction and could not even get back up."What?" Everyone was stunned by what they saw. None of t

    With Ray leading them, the Grant guards began gaining the upper hand. The disciples of the Kirin Gang had no choice but to back up.Ray's abilities were exceptional. Even the divine-level martial artists of Shadow Gang were no match for him.He was like a tank, constantly pushing forward and utterly unstoppable."Yes! That's what I'm talking about! Get them, and get them good!" Vlad roared excitedly when he saw the disciples of Kirin Gang slowly getting defeated. It was fortunate for him that he had Ray with him today. He would have lost sorely otherwise."Who's that, Lou? He's amazing!" Sue could not help asking Lou in a whisper."He's Ray Reeds. He just got back from Oakvale. His powers are unbelievable. "I heard that he's an elite disciple of the Celestial Alliance!" Lou told her with a look of admiration on his face."Celestial Alliance? You mean the strongest guild in the whole of Oakvale?" Sue's eyes widened.There were three major powers in Dragonmarsh, namely the Cel

    "This is interesting." Dustin smirked as the dense barrage of swords came slashing down at him. In the blink of an eye, his figure dissolved into a wisp of smoke and vanished.A storm of sword shadows carrying the force that could split rivers and overturn seas crashed down on the fishing boat where he had just been standing. The entire vessel broke apart in an instant—some sinking into the depths while others drifted across the water."What? He dodged it?" Warrick's eyes flickered with surprise.Mulder's attack just now had been a 360-degree attack. Once caught in its range, there was no chance to dodge—only the option to endure. He couldn't understand how Dustin had managed to avoid it. Did he just teleport?"Hiding like a coward? What kind of warrior are you? Come fight me face-to-face."Frustrated after his attack missed again, Mulder grew desperate. His enhanced serum would only last for 15 minutes. If this dragged on, he'd collapse from exhaustion before Dustin even touche

    "Oh? Are we going all out now?" Dustin smirked, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.Mulder, who had advanced to become a grandmaster martial artist through drugs, had a weak foundation. Even after taking the enhanced serum, he still posed no threat to Dustin. If Mulder were a hundred times stronger, he might just barely be able to fight Dustin.As the serum's effects pushed his body to the limit, Mulder suddenly let out a furious roar. His muscles swelled rapidly, and his bones cracked as they expanded. His body grew larger at an alarming rate, and his clothes tore apart under the strain.His six-foot frame stretched to nearly seven feet in mere moments as his body swelled to monstrous proportions. His face twisted fiercely, and his skin darkened as black scales surfaced.With another guttural growl, his roar turned beastlike. He grabbed his shredded shirt and ripped it away, exposing his broad chest covered in dark scales. A faint, eerie sheen flickered across their surface."D

    Dustin's words made Mulder frown.Mulder knew all too well that Warrick was the kind of man who had no sense of loyalty or honor. If Warrick could kill his own personal guards without hesitation, what would stop him from killing a stranger? Mulder was certain that the moment things went south, Warrick would be the first to flee. Given the choice, he'd never willingly risk his life as Warrick's sacrificial pawn. But now, there was no turning back.With his undercover identity exposed and him helping Warrick escape, Mulder became a sworn enemy of West Lucozia. His name was now on the most-wanted list.Tonight was their best chance to escape. If they missed it, finding another way out would be nearly impossible.There was only one path left for him—kill whoever stood in his way and make it onto that escape boat."Enough talk, punk. Let's see what you're really made of," Mulder said.After weighing his options, he gritted his teeth and finally decided to draw his longsword. His fig

    "You had your chance. Don't blame me for what happens next," Dustin said.With a slight squeeze of his fingers, the steel blades clamped between them shattered with a sharp clang.Before the two Hall of Gods members could even react, Dustin waved his hand.The two men were sent flying as if they'd been hit by a truck, hurtling over 30 feet through the air. Blood sprayed from their mouths and noses before they hit the ground. They were critically injured and on the verge of death.Dustin slowly turned his head and looked at the man who had just tried to ambush him.The man glanced at the broken sword in his hand, then at Dustin, who looked utterly unfazed. He hesitated for a split second—then bolted.With a powerful leap, he dove straight for the sea. He knew Dustin's strength was on a completely different level. There was no chance of outrunning him on land, so the only hope was to disappear into the water.It might have worked—if not for what happened next.Just before he hit

    "You're not a fisherman? Who the hell are you?"Mulder's guard shot up the moment he got a clear look at the young man's face.Fishermen who spent their days at sea were usually tanned from the sun, but this one had a fair complexion. It felt a little strangeNoticing something was off, the men behind Mulder drew their blades and fixed their sharp gazes on the fisherman.The so-called fisherman standing guard wasn't just anyone—it was Dustin, who had been waiting for them all along.Since his plan was set in motion, he'd been stationed there from morning until midnight. After what felt like an eternity, his targets had finally arrived."Isn't it obvious? I'm here to capture you."Dustin rose from the deck and rolled his shoulders before speaking in an even tone. "If you don't want to die, surrender now. Otherwise, it'll be too late.""Watch out! It could be an ambush." Mulder swiftly pulled out his dagger. His sharp gaze scanned the surroundings for any sign of hidden troops.

    As night fell, Warrick sat motionless in his room as he tried to calm his mind through meditation. He had always been able to clear his mind with ease. But tonight, no matter how hard he tried, focus eluded him. A restless unease settled over him and refused to let him relax.Nearly two hours passed before Mulder's scouts finally returned. This time, they brought good news.The smuggling route they had scouted was completely safe, with no signs of an ambush. The West Lucozia army had yet to discover this potential escape route.Once everything was confirmed, Mulder let out a breath of relief. Warrick, too, finally felt the weight lift from his chest."Since the route is safe, we should set out immediately to avoid any unexpected complications." Warrick said. He had no intention of waiting any longer. He was a wanted man, and every moment in West Lucozia increased his chances of capture. There was no telling when the army might surround him. Only by escaping to Thaloria would he

    After a hearty meal, the burly Warrick sprawled lazily onto the bed and dozed off. He slept soundly till dusk, lost in a deep dream. When the sky was painted in brilliant hues of the setting sun, only then did he wake up leisurely.The exhaustion from the previous day seemed to have melted away. He felt invigorated, refreshed, and in high spirits.At that moment, Leigh had already set the table in the hall with quiet efficiency. Compared to the first meal, this spread was far more lavish.At the center of the table sat a whole roasted pig. Its golden-brown skin glistened with a rich, crispy sheen. The mouthwatering aroma filled the room, making it impossible not to crave a bite.Warrick had never been one for formalities. The moment he saw the feast, he didn't hesitate. He strode over, took a seat, and started digging in. He ate with zero restraint without sparing a single thought for Mulder, who was still out gathering intel.After a while, half of the roast pig was gone. His fac

    "Who is it?" Warrick's grip tightened around the hilt of his steel blade. His eyes, sharp and alert, were like those of a startled predator—full of caution and menace.For the past few days, he had been on edge, like a cornered animal. He barely slept and was constantly on high alert, fearing danger would strike at any moment.The door slowly creaked open. An elderly man with gray hair stepped inside with a tray of fruit and pastries in both hands.Before he could even register what was happening, a flash of cold steel appeared, and Warrick's blade was at the elderly man's throat.The elderly man trembled with fear. The tray slipped from his grasp, and fruit and pastries scattered on the floor."Easy, Sir Prescott. He's one of us." Mulder stepped forward and pressed down on the flat of Warrick's blade with a finger. He smiled and explained, "His name's Leigh Houston. He's mute and has served the Hall of Gods for years. He keeps watch over this tunnel entrance and has never slipp

    "Here's the problem—even if we know Warrick's intentions, how do we stop him?" Austin asked.Right now, Warrick had already disappeared without a trace. Austin's team hadn't even come close enough to get a hold of him, so there was no way to track him down.West Lucozia's vast territory and resources made it impossible to seal off every exit route completely. While it might be manageable in the short term, prolonging such an operation would significantly impact West Lucozia's economy. Wasting resources on a single fugitive wasn't a wise move."Warrick is a wanted man across the entire city. There's no way he's leaving through official channels. He'll have to sneak his way out," Dustin analyzed. He continued, "According to the maritime charts, if he's traveling from West Lucozia to Artea, he'll have to go through Thaloria. That's our lead. Get someone on it immediately—find out how many smuggling routes there are from West Lucozia to Thaloria.""Got it. I'll get it done right away
