"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

When Dustin heard Felicia's word, his hand briefly hesitated before he placed the chess piece. He smiled and said, "I thought you came to learn chess, but I didn't expect you to be here as a messenger."Felicia gave a light, teasing laugh. "With a mind like yours, how could you not know why I'm here?"She added candidly, "Prince Nathaniel saved my life and welcomed me as an honored guest. It's only right that I repay the favor by helping solve his troubles. I hope that it doesn't bother you.""You're frank and gracious, Ms. Thorns. Why would I take offense?" Dustin replied with a faint smile.He had expected her to start with pleasantries or try to butter him up. So, her bluntness actually caught him off guard."To be honest, Prince Nathaniel has never taken this kind of interest in anyone before," Felicia said as she placed another chess piece on the board. She smiled and continued, "I can tell he truly wants you on his side. And as someone close to him, I'd like to help make

Nathaniel's mansion was huge. It was more like a maze than a home. Even with a detailed layout, Dustin had to stay sharp as he moved through the grounds. After all, blueprints never quite captured the twists and turns of the actual place.Led by a maid, he followed a winding path through the corridors for nearly ten minutes before finally arriving at a guesthouse with a garden.The place was spacious and quiet, filled with birdsong and blooming flowers. It was a secluded spot that was ideal for privacy."Mr. Rhys, you can stay here. If you need anything, just let me know," the maid said. Her gaze was warm with a hint of admiration. She had watched Dustin's performance in the training ground earlier and knew he was an important guest brought in by Nathaniel. If she could catch his attention, it could completely turn her life around.He waved her off and said, "Okay. You can go now. I don't need anyone to attend to me." "Uh… but…" The maid hesitated."Don't worry. I'll explain

The crowd murmured among themselves as they looked at the broken broadsword and the stunned expression on Lycas' face."That strike was insanely fast and dead-on too," someone commented."I never expected General Derin's secret move to be defeated like that. It's unbelievable," another said."I thought General Derin could turn things around for us, but he still lost," a third added.Everyone knew how strong Lycas was. As a fully developed grandmaster with a broadsword, he was supposed to be unstoppable. However, at the critical moment, Dustin's strike shattered his broadsword.Lycas' loss was sudden and almost unbelievable. Some blamed bad luck and thought he could have won if things had gone differently. But those who truly understood what happened knew better.Even with Dustin's movement restricted and Lycas unleashing his strongest technique, he still pierced through the opening with near-impossible timing. That strike wasn't just lucky but masterful. It was a brutal display

Lycas gripped his broadsword with both hands and roared. The sound cracked through the air like a thunderclap.He sidestepped sharply and charged straight at Dustin like a raging bull.The heavy broadsword moved like it weighed nothing in his hands. He swung it with brutal speed. Each arc cut through the air with a sharp, whistling howl, as if it could slice through anything in its path.The broadsword came crashing down on Dustin with bone-crushing force, like a mountain falling from the sky.Lycas threw his full weight into the swing. As the sword descended, the force of the strike stirred up dust from the ground. It sent plumes of dirt in every direction.He knew Dustin was no ordinary opponent. If he wanted a chance to win, he had to make the first move and seize the initiative."Nice form," Dustin said.As Lycas launched a powerful, aggressive attack, Dustin remained calm and unruffled. With effortless grace, he sidestepped without the slightest rush. The broadsword whizz

Bryce knew Dustin was strong, but this was beyond anything he anticipated. Though he had gained the upper hand early on, Bryce still believed his skills matched Dustin's.From his observation, Dustin relied on martial arts techniques and hit-and-run tactics. Plus, he didn't dare to confront Bryce head-on.He had assumed that as long as he found an opening, he could exploit Dustin's weaknesses and defeat him. But when Dustin finally stopped holding back, Bryce realized how wrong he'd been.It turned out Dustin wasn't just playing hit-and-run tactics. Instead, he'd held back the entire time to spare Bryce from an embarrassing defeat.The moment Dustin stopped holding back, Bryce didn't stand a chance. Even without special techniques, Dustin's raw power, speed, and reflexes were enough to crush him.The difference in their abilities was staggering, so much so that no amount of skill could close the gap.And it wasn't just Bryce who was shocked. Except for Nathaniel, who had already

Bryce's request for a fight heated up the atmosphere.Soldiers around the training ground started murmuring among themselves."Lieutenant General Gantz is a legend in our ranks. His combat skills are no joke—he's taken down countless enemies on the battlefield. I haven't seen him in action in years," one young soldier said with awe."Yeah," a veteran agreed. "Lieutenant General Gantz has been through countless battles, and his strength is unmatched. If he steps in, Mr. Rhys might be in for a rough time."After the fight earlier, the soldiers knew firsthand that Dustin was no slouch. Otherwise, he wouldn't have easily defeated the five elite soldiers.But in their minds, no matter how skilled Dustin was, he stood no chance against Bryce.Bryce was a grandmaster not just in rank but in skill, physical strength, and battlefield experience. He was stronger than any expert from the martial world.Nathaniel had once recruited several grandmaster martial artists to spar with them, but

"Your Highness, the soldiers under me are trained solely in killing techniques. If they hurt your guest, things could get ugly," Lycas said.He didn't say it outright, but the message was clear. If Dustin wasn't strong enough, he'd better stay out of the way, or he was just asking for trouble.Bryce didn't say anything, but the look he gave Dustin was full of contempt. How could a pampered young man like Dustin measure up to soldiers who've been through the grind? He figured Dustin was probably some heir from a prominent family who knew Nathaniel and was trying to assert his relevance."You guys are blind to greatness when it's standing right in front of you." Nathaniel chuckled and shook his head. He added, "If any of you manage to land a hit on Mr. Rhys, I'll pay out a thousand gold. But honestly, I doubt any of you have what it takes."At the mention of rewards, the soldiers perked up. Their eyes lit up with excitement. They were practically itching to charge at Dustin and g

During the meal, Nathaniel arranged for two women to accompany Dustin.Throughout history, even the greatest heroes couldn't resist the allure of beautiful women. Sometimes, a woman of extraordinary beauty could be far more enticing than rare treasures or high status.Dustin remained composed. He neither showed any enthusiasm nor did he deliberately reject it.As for the women seated on either side of him, he treated them with polite respect. He enjoyed a drink and the easy conversation with them, but nothing beyond that.However, Nathaniel saw it differently. To him, it seemed that Dustin was unimpressed by the women at his side.Considering Dustin's background, it made sense. A woman of ordinary beauty would never catch his attention. Nathaniel realized he would need to pull out all the stops. Perhaps, it was time to bring out his most prized companion and see how Dustin responded.After the meal, he led Dustin to his mansion's training ground.The midday sun blazed overhead

"This…" Dustin began.He hesitated on purpose and didn't give an immediate answer.Upon seeing him deep in thought, Nathaniel was convinced that Dustin was weighing the pros and cons. He leaned in slightly, his smile widening with anticipation. "You should know how much the Dracan essence means to me," he said. "If I can gather all the essences, it’d be like fate is on my side. My path to the throne would be unstoppable—and when that time comes, your reward will be waiting."As he spoke, his gaze stayed on Dustin as he searched for any sign of hesitation in his expression.Dustin looked up and met his eyes. For a moment, something unreadable flickered in his gaze.He pressed his lips together and spoke slowly. "You're right, Your Highness. But it wasn't easy to find the Dracan essence. I went through quite a few twists and turns. Besides, if I give it to you, it might put me at odds with the other two princes."He paused deliberately and left the rest unsaid. Still, the concern
