Sebastian's attack caused Ryan to back away, huffing.Ryan had already gone mad. Instead of using true energy to protect himself, he took on the attacks head-on.Therefore, Ryan was injured all over by Sebastian's ruthless spear aura. The former was bloody and covered in wounds.When everyone thought the heavily-injured Ryan was about to drop to the ground, a shocking thing happened.Having no disregard for his injuries, Ryan rushed toward Sebastian after an angry roar. It was as if Ryan didn't feel any pain.More terrifyingly, Ryan's injuries were recovering quickly.They were all terrified by how quickly his injuries healed."How dare you! Let's see how I'll kill you with this one shot!" Sebastian wasn't deterred when he saw Ryan pouncing toward him. With a swing of his spear, a dazzling silver light burst out and illuminated their surroundings."A Stunning Shot!" Sebastian narrowed his eyes. He swiftly pulled his spear backward before thrusting it forward.There was a res

"What?" When Sebastian turned around, he was met with a gleam of light.It came at an extremely fast speed, bringing along a faint smell of blood.The person who made the move was Ryan!After being pinned to the tree, Ryan failed to break free. In the end, he grabbed the gun barrel with both hands and pulled himself forward by a foot.When he got close to Sebastian, he targeted his neck.His sharp nails were like blades of steel, extremely deadly."How pathetic!" Sebastian sneered when faced with the sudden attack. He punched right at Ryan without paying him any heed.An explosion sounded.Ryan's nails cut through Sebastian's energy armor. This caused Sebastian's entire wrist to be cut off.Blood splattered everywhere at that moment."Ah!" Sebastian was taken aback seeing his hand on the ground. Immediately, he let out a shrill scream.Sebastian never expected Ryan's nails to be that sharp. It could be compared to a divine weapon.Ryan had broken his energy armor easily."

Ryan roared lowly as an unknown black liquid oozed from his mouth. With his ferocious expression and a mouthful of fangs, he looked like a monster.Sebastian shuddered in fear after locking his eyes with Ryan. Instantly, the former's legs went weak."Hey, you! Where are you going? Save me now!" After seeing Dustin leave, Sebastian immediately shouted. Sebastian no longer dared to attack after seeing Ryan in a frenzy just now. Even now, a mere glance from Ryan would send shivers down Sebastian's spine. "Weren't you being so arrogant just now? You even said that I didn't save you on purpose. Thus, this isn't any of my business anymore. Face the consequences of your own actions," Dustin said indifferently.After all, Sebastian had bitten the hand that fed him.Dustin shouldn't have helped such an ungrateful person. It didn't matter to him whether Sebastian died or not, anyway."Stop right there! I'm ordering you to chase that crazy man away!" Sebastian screamed.However, Dustin

“You—" Just as Sebastian was about to give him an earful, a roar suddenly sounded.When he turned around, Ryan had already pounced on him.Ryan was using his hands and legs to run at lightning speed. With every push off the ground, his nails would scrape and leave deep marks on the ground.His nails were as sharp as steel blades."Someone! Save me! Don't let this monster get close to me!" Sebastian's expression turned horrified.As Sebastian was injured too badly, he didn't even have the strength to stand up. He could only manage to drag his battered body backward."What are you waiting for? Move!" Sebastian turned around and shouted at Dustin.However, Dustin didn't move at all. He only looked at Sebastian silently."Dustin, don't act recklessly. Sebastian can't die here!" Jackson was a bit anxious."It's none of my business." Dustin remained unfazed."Fine. Looks like I need to make a move!" Jackson shook his head helplessly after seeing Dustin being stubborn.Thus, Jackso

Sebastian's head fell to the ground and rolled like a ball. Then, it came to a stop at the feet of the Emberson Steel's disciples.Sebastian's widened eyes were filled with shock, disbelief, and bewilderment.Until his death, Sebastian never expected he wouldn't meet his end at Ryan's hands but would instead have his head severed by Dustin.Sebastian wondered why this would happen.Sebastian was the well-known Deadly Spear and was Yannick's disciple. With such a background, Sebastian's future was bright.Sebastian had gone to Deathlands to look for treasure, improve his cultivation level and reputation,He had it all. Thus, his life was supposed to be smooth sailing and the object of envy for everyone.He couldn't understand why he would be defeated in such a small village.Sebastian wanted to scream that he couldn't accept his fate. However, he couldn't utter a word.His brilliant life flashed through his head like a revolving lamp.From a young age, Sebastian was gifted and

Aidan felt unhappy after Dustin rejected him so many times. However, Aidan was also a proud individual. Thus, Aidan wouldn't continue to pester him.Aidan was sure Dustin would give in when he was on the brink of death."Don't just stand there. You guys should go and help Jackson." Dustin looked toward the few Emberson Steel's disciples and reminded them.At this moment, Jackson was engaged in a back-and-forth battle with the frenzied Ryan.However, Jackson's speed and strength were noticeably depleting as he used his energy. On the other hand, Ryan showed no signs of fatigue and continued to fight in full force.If they continued to fight like that, Jackson would soon lose."Quick! We should go and help Jackson!" The few Emberson Steel's disciples exchanged glances. After drawing their sword, they rushed forward."Wait! Use this!" At that moment, Grace tossed a golden rope to one of the disciples.The golden rope was unusually sturdy. It looked special from how it emitted a gl

The sudden explosion caught everyone off guard.Especially when the energy wave hit, many martial artists were thrown into disarray. Instantly, moans sounded throughout.Thankfully, Jackson and the others managed to get away. Otherwise, they would be heavily injured if they were close to the explosion spot.When the dust settled, everyone found that the village head's house had been destroyed. The ground was filled with debris and wreckage.Meanwhile, Ryan had disappeared along with the tree. The only thing left was the Draken Rope lying on the ground.Plus, the ground was covered with black crystals that scattered around like cobblestones.Dustin saw that those crystals shot out of Ryan's body after he exploded.The smell of the crystals signified that it was made from blood. A normal human's blood was usually in liquid form, but Ryan's blood had become crystals before he died.It was an abnormal phenomenon.Dustin always thought he was quite knowledgeable. However, everythin

Aidan's expression was thrilled. Without a care for his image, he immediately picked it up.All of these were precious crystals worth billions of dollars! It would be a good choice no matter if the person decided to sell or keep it."Eclipse spiritstone? This is actually an eclipse spiritstone?""Guys, quick! Let's grab them!"At this moment, many people recognized the black crystal on the floor and quickly snatched it.Although some didn't know what was happening, they also joined in after seeing everyone grabbing it."I saw this eclipse spiritstone first! Give it to me!""No way! It belongs to me now that it's in my hands. Let's fight if you're not content!""Fuck off! I'll kill anyone who dares to snatch with me!"A place with interests would always create war.After knowing the eclipse spiritstone's value, everyone started to seize it. They were following the law of the jungle precisely.The capable ones could get a few more pieces, while the weaker ones could only obtai

"Oh? Really? Then, show them the evidence. Let everyone see for themselves." Austin said with a faint smile.Langdon swallowed hard, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.Had his entire past really been dug up in just half a day?"First, I investigated Mr. Langdon's assets and income sources," Axel said, pulling out a stack of documents and placing them on the table. He explained firmly, "His spending far exceeds his salary. He owns 18 luxury homes, dozens of high-end cars, and a private collection of gold, antiques, and famous paintings. "Altogether, his assets are worth tens of billions. Given his salary, it would take him several thousand years of saving every penny to afford that. So I have to ask—where did all this money come from?"The moment those words left his mouth, all eyes turned to Langdon.Everyone knew he was corrupt, but no one expected it to be on this scale. If his fixed assets alone were worth billions, his liquid assets must be even more staggering.

"And as for the rest of you, I'll be investigating each of you one by one." Austin's gaze moved past Langdon and landed on the royal advisors. He sneered and added, "You'd better keep your records clean. If I find anything on any of you, I'll handle it by the book, and there won't be any mercy."At these words, panic swept through the room. Everyone exchanged nervous glances, and their hearts pounded like war drums.As soon as they realized Austin was angry, they quickly fell silent. Langdon had always been making all the noise, but now they found themselves caught in the fire.Anyone who'd held a position like theirs usually had some skeletons in the closet. In the past, Rufus had been willing to turn a blind eye and let things slide. But now, Austin clearly wasn't following the usual rules. If he decided to investigate thoroughly, most of them would likely find their careers and reputations destroyed."Mr. Rhys, what do we do now? Lord Austin seems dead serious about this."

"Langdon, I can't tell if you're playing dumb or if you really are that stupid." Though Austin was smiling, his eyes were cold. He continued, "You asked for physical evidence, and I provided it. You asked for witnesses, and I gave you those too. Now, with both evidence and testimony laid bare, and even the criminal confessing, what else do you want?""Hmph! The government is rife with corruption. I'm simply seeking justice and preventing you from wrongfully killing the innocent." Langdon still held his righteous stance.Some of the royal advisors who had initially supported him now stayed silent. They could sense Austin's rising anger and didn't dare provoke him further. At that instant, they had lost their confidence. As Austin had pointed out, the solid evidence was right before them, and it was impossible to deny.Langdon was a member of the Rhys family and Austin's elder. He could afford to speak without a filter, but the others couldn't. If they truly angered Austin, the

"Sir Thatcher? Mr. Wentworth?" When Langdon saw their faces, his eyes went wide in disbelief. "You… How did you two end up like this?" He was genuinely stunned.Huxley and Percival were two of the most powerful figures in West Lucozia. They commanded respect wherever they went, and even Langdon himself had to show them deference.He never expected that they had fallen from their positions of prestige to become disheveled prisoners overnight."Austin! You've gone too far!" Recovering from his initial shock, Langdon's fury erupted. He didn't even bother with titles anymore. "Do you even realize what you're doing? These two men are pillars of West Lucozia and the prince's most trusted advisors. They're your elders and mentors. Yet, you tortured them like this. Are you even human?""He's right," someone chimed in. "They dedicated their lives to this country. What crime did they commit to deserve such cruelty by Your Highness?"The gathered officials erupted in outrage and condemned
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2486
"Your Highness, you mustn't speak such nonsense." Langdon put on a righteous front.He continued, "I've always prided myself on my integrity and never done anything dishonorable. I've never betrayed the prince's trust or let the people down, and I have nothing to hide.""Such lofty words," Austin scoffed. "If you have nothing to hide, why not let the enforcement team investigate?"Langdon's face tightened, and a flicker of unease crossed his eyes. After all, what official didn't have some skeletons in the closet? A full investigation would likely turn up something, no matter how small. Even if the offenses weren't serious, the damage to his reputation would be permanent.With so many officials watching, Langdon couldn't afford to back down. If he did, he would lose his standing in the political world—and his claim to integrity along with it."Go ahead and investigate." He raised his chin and said confidently, "I've lived an honest life and never engaged in anything illegal. No m

Austin sat in his chair and silently watched the royal advisors put on their pretentious act. He slowly sipped his tea as if he couldn't be bothered by their so-called accusations.His nonchalant demeanor made Langdon and the others frown. Their once-outrageous voices began to falter.They had stormed in full of righteous fury earlier, only to be met with complete apathy. What was the point of arguing when he wasn't even listening?"Are you done?" Austin finally spoke once the room had quieted down. "If not, go ahead and keep talking. Say as much as you need to until you're satisfied.""Your Highness, we're here to discuss serious matters. Your dismissive attitude is truly disappointing," Langdon said sharply."Serious matters?" Austin let out a short laugh.He went on, "You barge in here without even understanding the full picture and spewing accusations like they're facts. As far as I'm concerned, you're no different from clowns putting on a show.""You… How dare you!" Langdon
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2484
"Are you even qualified to sit while speaking to me?"Austin's words struck like the blow of a hammer. They were sharp and unrelenting, and they left no room for retort.Langdon sat frozen and was momentarily speechless. He hadn't expected a brat like Austin to have such a sharp tongue.If he admitted he had come for personal matters, he would keep his pride intact, but he would lose control of the conversation. Everything he had prepared—and all the accusations he meant to throw—would be meaningless.But if he insisted it was official business, he would have to show proper respect and offer a formal greeting. No matter how he answered, he would be conceding ground."I'll ask one more time. Are you here on official or personal matters?" Austin asked coldly."O-Official matters." Cornered, Langdon barely managed to get the words out."Well? Is this how an official conducts himself?" Austin pressed.Langdon had no choice but to rise and offer a deep bow. "Your Highness, it's an h

After a night of chaos, some of the Red Legion's members were killed, others were captured, and the entire force had been wiped out.But the fallout didn't stop there. The Prescott estate was also raided. All embezzled wealth was confiscated, and those found guilty were thrown into prison.Anyone connected to the Prescotts was placed under house arrest and subjected to rigorous investigation.And the man behind it—Warrick—had become the kingdom's most wanted fugitive.Until he was captured, Celestria remained under lockdown. Major roads were sealed off, and patrol teams scoured every corner to ensure Warrick had no way out.Austin's crackdown sparked outrage among senior officials who didn't know the full story. They voiced their dissatisfaction, with some even gathering outside the castle gates in protest. They stomped their feet in outrage, just short of openly cursing him.To them, Warrick had made great contributions to the nation. Even if he had committed crimes, he didn't d

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
