The two Harmony Sect's semi-grandmasters had been slashed to death by Dustin. They had died in resentment.After seeing the two elder's heads rolling on the ground, Bertha was stunned. Instantly, cold beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.Bertha thought Dustin was powerless and had fabricated everything he said. Now, she finally understood how powerful Dustin was.Dustin could kill two semi-grandmaster martial artists with just a strike. Obviously, this wasn't something a person poisoned by Tranqurin could do.Perhaps Dustin was really immune to all the poison."Fuck! Thankfully, I didn't move just now. Otherwise, I would have been dead!" Chester gulped. He looked at Dustin with a terrified expression.Chester had never met such a formidable figure before. Despite being in his 20s, Dustin was so powerful.Damien, the most powerful martial artist in the Southwest, might not be able to win against Dustin in a one-to-one fight, either."You… How could you…" Bertha was so stunne

Although Dustin managed to catch the Frost Needle, the chill emanating from it penetrated deep into his bones.Dustin's fingers and arms started to freeze at visible speed. He couldn't seem to muster a trace of true energy in the areas affected by freezing.It was no exaggeration to say that one would become an ice statue if the needle pierced into one's body. Any level of cultivation would be rendered useless at this point.Although he didn't regard Bertha and the others highly, he was quite shocked by their attacks.Bertha seemed to be using lethal moves one after another, with Tranqurin followed by Frost Needle. If it wasn't for Dustin's cultivation level, he might lose.Indeed, one should not underestimate any enemy. There was a chance that one might lose against someone weaker than them.Dustin's body shook. Then, the ice layer on his arm shattered and dropped to the ground."How could this be?" Bertha was stunned, looking terrified. It was a life-and-death situation ju

"Stop right there! If you dare to move, I'll kill this woman!" A stern voice sounded behind Dustin.When Dustin turned to look, he saw Embersteel Order and Harmony's Sect elites coming out of the hotel while holding Grace hostage.Meanwhile, Sophia was pressing the knife against Grace's neck with a fierce expression.Dustin furrowed his brow, feeling a strong urge to kill. He could tell that Embersteel Order and Harmony's Sect's sudden ambush today was all because of Sophia.Old habits die hard, that was for sure.Sophia would have long been dead if Grace hadn't saved her from Fantasy Sea Alliance.Not only was Sophia not grateful, she even pressed a knife against Grace's neck.Sophia had a death wish!"Why are you still standing there? Put down your sword!"Sophia hid behind Grace carefully while the knife in her hand pressed against Grace's neck.Sophia knew Dustin had feelings for Grace. Thus, he wouldn't stand by and watch her die.Without a single hesitation, Dustin flu

"What?" The two people gulped anxiously.They still remembered what the Harmony Sect encountered. Thus, they knew they were dead meat if they went forward."Why are you panicking? There's no way he'll object when we hold Grace hostage!" Chester encouraged.The two Embersteel Orders looked at the restrained Grace while looking at the motionless Dustin. After hesitating for a few seconds, they finally forced themselves to walk forward.They were in a sticky situation right now.If they didn't get rid of Dustin, they might lose their lives. They would never have the chance of seizing treasures anymore.They had to take a risk no matter what.If they could seal Dustin's meridians, he would be absolutely useless and no longer a threat to them."Dustin, don't worry about me. Go ahead." Grace suddenly spoke at this moment.Naturally, she didn't wish Dustin to risk his life for her. Plus, she had many ways to get away in situations like this."Shut up, you bitch! If you dare to say s

After the palm attack, Osley stood there proudly. He looked unworldly, exuding unparalleled dominance and majesty.Meanwhile, the 100 feet crater which had appeared out of thin air was just in front of him.The pit was filled with severed limbs and bloody flesh. There wasn't a single complete corpse spotted, resembling hell on earth.This was the might of Osley's single palm attack.With a single slap, a crater in the shape of a hand was created. Plus, numerous martial arts experts had been squished to death by his attack.The remaining few, despite being lucky enough to keep their lives, had been blown several feet away. They were sprawled on the ground by the force of the palm.However, they were stunned when they stood up and saw what happened.They were rendered speechless as sweat dripped down their faces when they saw the horrendous sight inside the pit.Most experts of the Harmony Sect and Embersteel Order, no matter if they were young, old, or in a high position, were k

"Yes, miss," Osley answered. His momentum immediately subsided as he obediently retreated behind Grace.His back was arched, and he lowered his head timidly. Just like that, he became an inconspicuous servant.If they hadn't seen it with their eyes, nobody would believe that this quiet old man was a capable ultimate grandmaster."Thank you, Ms. Linsor! Thank you!" Seeing that there was a chance to live, everyone thanked her happily."Don't get too happy. Although I'm not going to kill you all, I won't let you all go either. I can spare your lives, but you still have to be punished. "Osley, go and seal their meridians and tie them up. Let the Martial Arts Union deal with them," Grace said indifferently."What? Martial Arts Union?" Everyone was stunned upon hearing that.Martial Arts Union was Dragonmarsh's official institution. They managed martial artists, major martial alliances, and all of the sects. Thus, all of them had to obey their directives.Anyone involved in major cr

"Me?" Sophia was stunned when Dustin pointed at her. She asked instinctively, "Why?"The discussion earlier went well, she had no idea why things turned sour abruptly."Because I really hate people who repay goodwill with ill will. That's my reason. Happy?" Dustin replied coldly. He had never liked Sophia's behavior. However, her behavior hadn't affected him before, as such he was able to let it slide. However, it was different now.If Sophia hadn't caused subversion, they wouldn't be in this mess today. If they were any weaker, they might have been murdered for profit. Hence, he was unable to forgive Sophia for what she'd done."Dustin, please listen to my explanation. This wasn't my fault, I had no other options!" Sophia was flustered and appeared pitiful."Not your fault? You had no other options? There are only a handful of people who know that we have treasure with us. "If it wasn't you, who else could it be? Who could work with Harmony Sect and Embersteel Order simultane

In the morning, Dustin heard a loud knock on his door as soon as he woke up. When he opened the door, he saw Grace standing outside with breakfast in her hands. She bought milk, bagels, sausage, scrambled eggs, and a lot of other things."Have some breakfast. I have to talk to you." Grace smiled slightly as she put the breakfast set on the table and sat on a chair."Thanks." Dustin didn't shy away. He started wolfing down as soon as he sat down next to her. Even though it was a normal breakfast, everything tasted surprisingly good."What do you want to tell me? I'm listening," Dustin asked as he munched on the bagel."I got some news this morning. In a nutshell, there are three pieces of important news." Grace stood up and made two cups of coffee. One for herself and another for Dustin. She then continued, "First, there's been a series of strange phenomena at the Sacred Wrym Summit for the past few days. According to my informants, it could be due to Dracan essence!""Really?"

"Your Highness! Please mind your words," Jovian quickly cautioned. He glanced around nervously, as if afraid someone might be eavesdropping.Speculating on Valon's fate in private was an act of grave disrespect. If someone with a hidden agenda spread this information, a ruined reputation would be the least of their concerns—what came after would be far worse."Relax, Mr. Jovian. We're in West Lucozia, not Oakvale. Here, we can say whatever we want without worry." Austin smiled faintly, showing no concern.These were well-known facts, so what was the harm in saying them out loud? Keeping quiet wouldn't change a thing, anyway. What a joke."Ahem… perhaps I was overthinking it." Jovian let out an awkward chuckle. He knew Austin wasn't wrong, but his cautious nature kept him from discussing Valon's affairs too openly."Honestly, a lot of people have been showing up in West Lucozia lately. There's a whole group standing outside right now, and they're all here for the same reason as you

Austin smiled brightly as he ushered Jovian into the meeting room with surprising enthusiasm.Jovian looked confused and somewhat unprepared. Before entering, he had already imagined many possible scenarios for their meeting. He had mentally prepared for a range of reactions from Austin—whether he would be ignored, faced with cold indifference, or dealt with arrogance. He was ready for any of those. After all, the rumors about Austin painted him as a "hellraiser" who did whatever he pleased.But, to his surprise, Austin didn't give him any trouble at all. Instead, he was giving him a warm reception, which left him utterly confused.Something felt off. He couldn't make sense of Austin's sudden warmth, and he had no idea what game he was playing."Bring the tea!" After inviting Jovian to sit, Austin gestured for the attendant to serve the tea. The drink was a rare specialty from West Lucozia, a premium elixir tea not sold to the public but reserved for high-ranking officials. Its

After stepping into the castle, Boston felt a knot in his stomach. He had been here before, but only for official matters.He was always escorted by guards or attendants, but this time, Austin himself had led him inside. Boston felt both honored and somewhat overwhelmed. Since when had he earned such treatment?Austin had brushed off higher-ranking officials, so why was he showing him so much attention? Was it because his shiny bald head made him stand out? He had no answers, only a growing curiosity as he followed Austin into the meeting room. "Sit." After Austin sat at the head of the table, he raised his hand and gestured for Boston to do the same."No… no need. I'll just stand." Boston smiled awkwardly."Just sit down. Why are you so nervous? I won't bite," Austin said in a dismissive tone. "Y-Yes, Your Highness." Boston didn't dare refuse again and obediently took a seat. He was six feet three inches tall, yet he looked like a startled rabbit. He sat up straight and didn't

When the castle's gate swung open, every eye turned toward the entrance. Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Austin strode out with his two guards. His posture exuded confidence and authority."Your Highness!"The gathered officials instantly rushed forward to greet him. Grins spread across their faces as if they couldn't wait to please him. Whether it was Huxley, Percival, or Warrick, all wore the same ingratiating expression.After all, Austin was the infamous hellraiser. Though he had reined himself over the past two years, his past reputation still loomed over them.At least Rufus could be reasoned with. But Austin? He was a wild card—utterly unpredictable, like a ticking time bomb. Every last one of them had suffered his wrath before.Percival approached with a flattering smile. "Your Highness, you finally come out. I have something important to discuss with you. If you'd be so kind as to listen—"Before he could finish his sentence, he was dismissed by Austin, who found h

"Get lost! I'm not in the mood for anything right now. If you want to eat, go on your own." Warrick snapped, looking annoyed."I'm not going either," Percival refused flatly. "I'm on a health regimen these days—only tea, no alcohol.""Fine. If you're going to wait, then keep waiting. I won't be sticking around." Huxley forced a smile and acted like he was about to leave.But as he turned, he almost bumped into Boston, who was approaching from the other direction."Sorry, Sir Thatcher! I hope I didn't startle you." Since he was surrounded by so many high-ranking officials, Boston was already on edge. He had momentarily spaced out and almost caused a mishap by running into Huxley, which left him flustered and a bit tongue-tied.Unlike the other generals, Boston didn't come from an influential background or have any powerful connections. He had worked his way up from the bottom, and the last thing he wanted was to offend Huxley and risk losing everything he had fought so hard for.

After parting ways with Boston, Jovian checked into a nearby hotel to await the good news. Boston wasted no time. After changing into a fresh set of clothes, he headed to the castle to deliver a letter of introduction. But when he arrived, he was stunned by what he saw.The gates of the West Lucozian monarchy had already gathered quite a few people, and among them were several figures he immediately recognized. These included Huxley Thatcher, the Commander of the Militia; Warrick Prescott, the Major General of the State Guard; and Percival Wentworth, the Chancellor of the National Academy.These three were first-ranking officials. In West Lucozia, they were nothing short of kingmakers who wielded immense power and influence. Warrick, in particular, was two ranks above Boston. Hence, he felt the need to be cautious in his presence and was eager not to make a bad impression.Alongside these three prominent figures, several second- and third-ranking officials also stood in line at

The following morning, Jovian stood at the entrance of West Lucozia Airport, wearing a sharp suit.Before the trip, he had contacted his comrade with whom he had fought side by side in the military. After earning military merit and with the Ballard family's influence, he was fortunate enough to stay in Oakvale and secure a decent position.His comrade, on the other hand, had moved to West Lucozia to carve out a life for himself. Years of hard work had paid off—he was now a third-rank general with considerable power, influence, and a strong network of connections. Jovian's meeting with the Prince of West Lucozia would depend entirely on his comrade's connections.Just then, the roar of an engine cut through the air as a military jeep pulled up beside him. The window rolled down, and the first thing that came into view was a bald head gleaming in the sunlight like a lightbulb. The glare nearly blinded him.Under that shiny dome was a face that looked ordinary at first glance. But w

"Grandfather, I understand why you sent Uncle Jonathan and Uncle Jensen to the Spanner and Fallon families to gather information," Natasha began. "But West Lucozia is thousands of miles away."She shook her head slightly. "They've always stayed out of the government's political matters. Sending Uncle Jovian there wouldn't achieve anything. He'd likely just be turned away." Oakvale and West Lucozia were worlds apart. The fight for the Oakvale throne didn't really affect the West Lucozian monarchy. Both sides had long adhered to an unspoken agreement to avoid meddling in each other's affairs."I know, but it'll be different this time. The royal throne is at stake, and every faction will do whatever it takes to secure West Lucozia's support. If the West Lucozian monarchy picks a side, the balance we've maintained for years will collapse. That's why I need to be ready for whatever happens," Simon replied.It would be best if the West Lucozian monarchy stayed out of the political strug

At the Ballard estate, Dustin was warmly welcomed to stay after dinner. This was the first time Natasha had brought her boyfriend home, so the Ballards made a big deal of it.Simon personally accompanied the young couple and invited them to the study to chat over tea. With his sharp eye, Simon could tell Dustin was no ordinary martial artist. His manners, speech, and broad knowledge set him apart from most people."Dustin, I fully support your relationship with Natasha. Your background or status doesn't matter. What matters most is that you two are happy together." Simon paused and said earnestly, "I want you to understand that she's been pampered all her life and hasn't faced much hardship. Now that she's with you, I hope you'll take good care of her.""Don't worry, Mr. Ballard. I would never let her down," Dustin replied sincerely.Though they had known each other for some time and hadn't yet taken their relationship to the next level, they had already made their feelings clear
