Chapter 224

Author: Marina Vittori
It was at that moment that Phineas felt pure terror.

Who would have thought that the plain old man in front of him was the Executioner?

Why had the Executioner visited them personally?

"How dare you hit me!" His head spinning, Matt pulled himself up and roared. "You're dead! It's over for all of you! Men, finish them off!"

"Stop!" Phineas yelled before falling to his knees before the old man. He frantically begged. "Sir Albert, we don't know what we've done to incur your wrath, but please forgive us."

"Have you gone crazy, Dad? Why are you groveling?" Matt was in disbelief. He didn't understand why his dad was begging the old man for forgiveness when they were on the winning side.

"What do you know, you moron! We can't afford to mess with them, so hurry up and kneel!" Phineas frantically signaled Matt.

"I'm not kneeling!" Matt looked around maniacally. "What do you mean we can't afford to mess with them? There are only three of them. We'll be able to drown them with just the piss of

    "What?" Phineas froze, and he cried. "Sir Alfred, we did nothing to you. Why are you doing this?""It's true that I have nothing against you. However, you offended the young master in my family, so I cannot forgive you." Alfred looked at them calmly."T—that's impossible! We would never dare to do that!" Phineas suddenly froze. "The Rhys family? Rhys? Don't tell me … You're talking about Dustin Rhys?""Bingo. That's the eldest son of the Rhys family, Logan Rhys." Alfred smiled."L—Logan Rhys? The kirin? H—how is that possible?!" Phineas looked like he was about to have a heart attack at any time.He'd done his research before. Dustin was merely a pretty boy who depended on the Harmon family to get to where he was today. How could he possibly be Logan Rhys?Logan Rhys, the man who nearly brought on the war that could have destroyed a nation. The man who received the title of "Legendary Demon" a decade ago. No wonder the Executioner was here. It turned out that they had offended Logan R

    In the morning, at the airport. Edwin and Tina waited in front of a Rolls-Royce Phantom. "Dad, we've already been waiting for two hours. Why isn't Joshua here yet?" Tina glanced around, looking anxious."It's normal for flights to be delayed. Let's wait it out a little longer." Edwin looked calm. Last night, he'd suddenly received a call from Joshua, saying he'd completed his refinement, which meant he was now the Hummer family's trump card. As they spoke, a young couple exited the airport. The man was handsome and dignified, giving off an air reminiscent of a sharp blade, making one unable to look him in the eye. The woman beside him was dressed in red and equally outstanding. She was beautiful, elegant, and looked powerful. "Dad, he's here!" Tina's eyes lit up with excitement. She'd been eagerly anticipating his return. "Josh, you're finally back!" Edwin approached him with a bright smile. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Dad." Joshua smiled and gestured to the woman beside him.

    Divine-level martial artists, on the other hand, could manifest their energy externally and use it to harm or even murder others without anyone realizing it. Low-level martial artists weren't even in the same league as them. Even in Millsburg, where powerful martial artists converged, divine-level martial artists were existences to fear. It was no wonder Joshua had won the Grant family's favor—how could he not when he possessed such talent and potential? Which family wouldn't want to have something to do with him? "Dad, are divine-level martial artists truly that powerful? How will Joshua fare against Dustin?" Tina asked curiously. "Joshua can destroy that brat with a snap of his fingers!" Edwin said proudly. "That's great! Joshua, you have to teach him a good lesson on my behalf!" Tina said excitedly. "There's no hurry to deal with Dustin—he's a weakling that can be slaughtered at any time. What's more important now is that we have to give Joshua and Jade a proper welcome."

    "What, are you gonna resort to physical violence?" A cold smile curved Dustin's lips at the sight of the security guards surrounding him. He'd always been the type who was open to persuasion, not coercion. Perhaps he would've given in to them if they'd talked to him nicely, but if they wanted to opt for physical violence … well, he didn't mind teaching them a lesson or two. "So what if I am? Don't think too highly of yourself, you brat!" Quentin snarled. He'd always harbored a grudge against Dustin for humiliating him at their first meeting. If not for Natasha keeping him in check, he would've exacted revenge on Dustin ages ago. Now that Natasha wasn't around, it was his chance to get payback! "Quentin, don't take things too far!" Ruth couldn't stand it anymore. "It's up to Dustin whether he wants to sell the shares. If you dare do anything to harm him, I won't let you off the hook!" "Ruth, this has nothing to do with you. Keep your nose out of this!" Quentin didn't back down.

    Nobody expected Dustin to suddenly get physical and attack someone from the Boulderthorn Guild. Had he lost his mind? "Dustin, are you out of your mind? How dare you attack Mr. Williams' son! Do you have a death wish?" Jessica glared at him with a mixture of shock and fury. Attacking Brody was equivalent to issuing a challenge to the Boulderthorn Guild. "You may have a fucking death wish, but the rest of us don't! Mr. Williams isn't someone you can afford to offend!" Quentin bellowed. Though he wanted nothing more than for Dustin to get in trouble, that didn't mean he wanted to perish with him. "Dustin, you've really done it now!" Even Ruth looked panicked. The Boulderthorn Guild was much too powerful; even the Harmon family wouldn't survive a retaliation from them. "He's nothing but a piece of trash. What does it matter if I've attacked him?" Dustin said coolly. "You—you're so thickheaded!" Jessica glared daggers at him. At this moment, Brody had finally managed to free hi

    Buying 50% of the shares with 50 million dollars was like robbing. It was that they didn't want to displease Boulderthorn. Therefore, relatively speaking, they could only sacrifice Dustin. With that, they didn't really need to pay the price and could also take the opportunity to be on friendly terms with Boulderthorn. However, they didn't expect that Dustin would be so unyielding. Not only did he refuse to hand over the shares, but he also attacked Brody. Plus, Natasha also happened to be strongly supporting what he had just done after she hurried back. Everything was such a mess that they couldn't resolve the situation. "Natasha Harmon! Break his arms and legs right now! This is an order! If not, we won't have mercy on the Harmon family!" Brody stood up and staggered to his feet with a sullen look. "Mr. Williams, I'm sorry, but I can't do it," Natasha spoke calmly, "Boulderthorn is indeed powerful, but the Harmon family isn't weak either. Nobody is able to harm the family easi

    The conference room was in an uproar after the hawk-nose elder came in. Everyone looked at him with a sense of respect after knowing he was the King of Kicks, whether they knew him or not. After all, he was the expert who was ranked ninth in The Hundred Immortals. Not anyone would have the chance to meet him, even once in a lifetime. "You actually invited the King of Kicks?" Jessica was surprised. She didn't expect Natasha to bring a master from The Hundred Immortals back after returning from Millsburg. It was known that the King of Kicks was an arrogant man. It wasn't easy to invite him. Natasha probably made much effort to get him to agree to come to Swinton. "There were lots of people eyeing Immortunal these days. Of course, I had to take precautions as soon as possible. This is also our chance to lure the tiger out of the mountains," Natasha said impassively. She had always been keeping an eye on what Boulderthorn was up to. That was why she had made preparations earlier.

    The King of Kicks made Mr. Wangley spurt out blood without even using half his strength. If he did it with full strength, Mr. Wangley would probably die on the spot. Were experts from the top tenths of The Hundred Immortals so scary? "Brilliant! King of Kicks, you've just blown our minds!" Quentin was surprised at first, then put up a smile and blew the King of Kicks with flattery. He thought that if he could be on good terms with masters like the King of Kicks, he could solve problems easily in the future with his help. "Mr. Wangley, are you okay?" Natasha frowned slightly. One of their allies was hurt before the battle even started. She thought that the King of Kicks had gone too far. "I'm okay." Mr. Wangley wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth and paid his respects. "King of Kicks, I expected no less from you. I concede defeat from the bottom of my heart." "At least you know your limits." The old man raised his head with a sense of arrogance and defiance. "Alri

    "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
