The brawl finally ended ten minutes later. Although dozens of Flame Dragon Gang disciples were injured in the process, they managed to completely annihilate the Grants' elite men."Sir, I did not fail you. I have eliminated all these pests!" Nelson and his men rushed toward Dustin eagerly."Well done. It must have been tiring." Dustin nodded. "Not at all. It's our honor to serve you!" Nelson responded with a grin."Clean this place up. Don't leave any evidence behind." Dustin ordered. "Yes, Sir!" "Boys, it's time to clean up!" Nelson hollered at his men, and they immediately got to work."I didn't know you were the Flame Dragon Gang's leader." Natasha's surprised expression quickly turned into a frown. "Still, even with the gang's help, we can't win against the Grants. We're in real trouble this time.""The Grants might be powerful, but that doesn't mean they can't do whatever they please. There's always someone more powerful than them," Dustin replied nonchalantly."As if it'd be

Meanwhile, at the Grants' mansion, Tyler Grant was practicing with a terrain model. As a gifted individual, he excelled in everything he did, including terrain model training. Since few could compete against him, he usually trained by himself. "Something terrible has happened, Mr. Grant!" One of the butlers barged into his study anxiously. "Get out," Tyler ordered icily without looking at the butler. "But—"The butler swallowed the rest of his words when he received Tyler's menacing glare and scuttled back to the door to wait patiently. It took a while for Tyler to finish his practice. When he was finished, he asked, "What is it?""Sir, we just received news that Ms. Layla was killed!" The butler cried in despair. "She was killed?" Tyler's brows furrowed. "What happened?""She wanted to take revenge for you, so she set up a trap for Natasha Harmon." The butler quickly briefed Tyler on what happened. "That idiot. How could she do something like that without permission?" Tyler hum

Back in the Harmon estate."There, all done. You'll be fine in a few days." Dustin carefully applied medicine to Natasha's wound and bandaged it up nicely. Although the wound was shallow, it would still hurt. "Will it leave a scar on my face?" Natasha picked up a mirror and examined her face worriedly. "Why? Do you doubt my skills?" Dustin asked in mock displeasure."I'm just worried I'll look ugly if I have a scar, and you won't like me anymore," Natasha answered seriously. "Don't be silly." Dustin was amused. "I promise you, your face won't scar. Besides, even if it does, you'll still be the prettiest person in the world to me!""Hmph! Such a sweet talker." A small smile appeared on Natasha's face, and her worry eased. Although she wasn't as superficial as other ladies, she was also afraid of turning ugly."Dustin, get your ass over here!" Someone suddenly roared, sending the door flying with a powerful kick, and a group of people led by Trent instantly filled the room. "What ar

There was an ear-splitting bang as the bullet embedded itself inches before Jacob's foot, making the man jump back in fear. "H—how could you pull the trigger on me?" Jacob cried, outraged. He never expected Natasha to be the type to do something like that to her elder. If the bullet's trajectory had been slightly off the mark, he would've lost his foot!"You better not mess around, Uncle Jacob." Natasha threatened frostily."How dare you!" Trent roared. "Natasha Harmon, he is your uncle! You'd be disgracing our family if you had hurt him just now!""I don't want to hurt anyone, so you better not force me to," Natasha responded unrelentingly. "Y—you bastard! Do you intend to betray your family for that boy?" Trent was furious. The Harmon family had always lived by a rule—nothing mattered more than the family's interests, which meant that they could sacrifice anyone if it meant saving their family. Therefore, Natasha's contradictory actions were seen as a sign of disloyalty."All I ca

"Of course not, Father. You will always be the head of the family." Trent smiled sheepishly. "Fine. Since you said that, I'll give you my opinion." Andrew surveyed the room. "Dustin has saved my life, as well as helped our family multiple times. We are in his debt, so anyone who tries to take him today will be going against me!""What?" The group shared dismayed glances. They never expected Andrew to stand up for Dustin during this crucial time. "Father, this bastard killed one of the Grants' daughters! He will only drag us deeper into this mess!" Trent rebutted. "Trent is right! We're doing this for the greater good of the family!" Jacob seconded. "You bunch say such lofty things when you're just cowards!" Andrew struck the floor with his cane forcefully. "The Grants have been stepping all over us, and instead of standing up against them, you choose to grovel and please them? What an embarrassment to our family!""Fath—""Silence!" Andrew cut off Trent's words. "Our family has go

The Harmon family had placed their hope in the Grant family's help before knowing the truth, but now, they finally understood that running away in fear was useless. If the Grants were willing to go as far as to frame the leader of the Harmon family, there was no way they would care about Hector's survival."What? Cat got your tongue? Remember to use your head next time!" Andrew reprimanded them before turning to look at Dustin. "Dustin, I'm so sorry you had to suffer because I didn't educate them properly.""Not at all, Sir Andrew. Thank you for defending me in time." Dustin smiled in gratitude. Although the Harmon family had a few ungrateful individuals, there were still people who were reasonable and just."I feel so ashamed … I don't know what would have happened to our family if you hadn't helped us catch the real murderer." Andrew sighed. Their family prided itself on being a powerful family with countless elites. Yet, when something happened to their leader, it was a young outs

The previous night had been a nightmare. Fortunately, the truth was out, and nothing much happened to him. Suddenly, Hector noticed something, and his smile stiffened. "Natasha, your face …" "It's just a minor injury," Natasha replied indifferently. "What happened?" Hector frowned. "A lot of things happened while you were gone, Hector." Jesicca calmly briefed him on what happened. Hector was livid. "The Grants again? They're crossing the line!"It was bad enough that they set him up, but they have even hurt his daughter? That was unacceptable!"Don't worry, Dad. I'm fine now." Natasha consoled."It's my fault, Natasha. You suffered because I was useless." Hector blamed himself. If he had known how despicable the Grants were, he would have never agreed to the marriage proposal. "Nonsense, Dad. We're lucky just to have you back. Let's talk more inside." Smiling, Natasha took her father's arm and walked into the estate.Just as they arrived at the meeting room, their butler rushed i

The next morning, in the president's office of the Nicholson Corp., Dahlia was sipping a cup of coffee as she went through sheets of financial statements.Just then, someone knocked on her door. "Come in." Dahlia put her cup down. "You called for me, Ms. Nicholson?" Dustin pushed the door open and entered. As Chief Security Officer, he needed to check in at the company every day."Where were you last night? I couldn't reach you on the phone." Dahlia probed just as he stepped in."My friend got into some trouble, so I went to help out." Dustin grinned sheepishly. "Your friend? It isn't Natasha Harmon, is it?" Dahlia's brow rose in suspicion. "No wonder you were so enthusiastic, it turns out you were on a date with a chick."Dustin cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject before Dahlia became jealous. "You didn't call me over just to talk about this, did you, Ms. Nicholson?""As if I'm that bored." Dahlia retorted and rolled her eyes. "An important client is arriving later,

Axel swallowed hard, shock written all over his face. He had always known the Draken Guardians were formidable, but he had never expected them to be this lethal.He had pushed himself to his limit just to hold his own against Connor and Dave, only to end up seriously wounded. Yet, when the Draken Guardians arrived, they wiped them out—along with several dozen Red Legion soldiers—without losing a single man.If Axel hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the Red Legion, a force renowned for its elite soldiers, could be so easily crushed. Or perhaps it wasn't that the Red Legion was weak, but that the Draken Guardians were far stronger than anyone had imagined.Even their most ordinary members were strong enough to become a mighty general. As for those at the level of captain, their strength was far beyond Axel's. The lethality of a team made up of such skilled experts had reached the point of being an overwhelming force."Mr. Cruz, please arrange some

"Damn it! This punk's tougher than I thought. We're in real trouble if this keeps up," Connor said, swinging his twin blades relentlessly. Every strike was aimed at Axel's vital points.But Axel was quick. He weaved in and out of reach and avoided direct confrontation. It was obvious he was just stalling for time."Sir Prescott should be far enough by now. There's no point dragging this out. Let's fall back."Sensing the futility of their efforts, Dave considered retreating. He didn't fear death, but he wasn't about to waste his life for nothing.Since Warrick had escaped, their interception mission was also completed."You guys hold him off. The rest of you, fall back with me."Connor was decisive. Realizing they weren't making any progress, he quickly ordered a retreat and left a few decoys behind to buy time.They had barely run a hundred yards when a wave of soldiers suddenly appeared at the alley's entrance. Hundreds, maybe even thousands, filled the narrow space and comple

"This punk's a real pain in the ass!"Connor glanced over his shoulder and noticed Axel was still hot on their trail.The squad he had sent to intercept Axel was completely outmaneuvered, and they couldn't get anywhere near him.To Connor's dismay, Axel kept shooting off signal flares as he pursued them. Each flare gave away their position. At this rate, it didn't matter which direction they ran—they were bound to be intercepted."Connor! Dave! Make a move and swat that damn fly," Warrick ordered decisively."If we leave, who's going to protect you?" Connor hesitated.Warrick was in bad shape. Without them guarding him, a single attack from an expert could be fatal."If you don't take out that fly, I'll be in even more danger. Get moving now!" Warrick snapped."Yes, sir!"Connor and Dave exchanged a glance before splitting up with their squads to surround Axel.They both knew what was at stake. If they didn't take Axel down quickly, their entire force would be stranded and do

"Kill them all!"At Warrick's command, the Red Legion charged without hesitation. Blades flashed as they stormed toward the elite enforcement unit.This time, nearly a thousand Red Legion soldiers arrived. With their sheer numbers, they launched a pincer attack from both flanks, leaving the enemy with no way to fend it off."Form the Shield Formation!" Axel shouted upon seeing the dire situation. His men immediately sheathed their blades and raised their shields to form a defensive line. Their pursuit had cut them off from the main force. Since they were up against an enemy ten times their size, forming a defensive line was their best option.If they could stall for even a moment, reinforcements from the castle would arrive, and the tide would turn in their favor. Once that happened, the thousand-strong Red Legion would be the ones on the defensive.After a brief charge, the two forces collided.Warrick had personally trained the Red Legion. He selected only the most loyal and

Axel had no time to hesitate. He lunged forward and grabbed the overturned Dragon-Binding Net. Then, he used every ounce of his strength to pin Warrick down again."Get over here! We have to keep him restrained."As the net strained under Warrick's sheer power, Axel let out a roar and pushed his cultivation to the limit. His veins bulged and blood pounded in his ears. He threw every last bit of strength into holding Warrick down.For now, he managed to pin Warrick down, but the elite enforcement unit on the other side wasn't faring well. Warrick thrashed wildly, sending more than a dozen men swinging through the air. Some slammed into trees, while others crashed into walls. Within moments, the Dragon-Binding Net flipped over again.Several elite enforcement units tried to rush in and help, but they barely got close before getting hit by their own airborne comrades and sent flying.Against Warrick's Divine Strength, they were utterly outmatched. The regular guards didn't stand a

If Warrick had been at his peak, Axel might have been more cautious. But with Tranqurin coursing through his vein, Warrick had barely a fraction of his usual strength left. His power was still fading, and Axel wasn't about to waste the opportunity. He had to capture Warrick while he had the chance."Get the hell out of my way!"As the enforcers closed in, Warrick let out a furious roar and slammed his massive fist into the floor.With a loud explosion, the earth shook violently. The ground within dozens of yards cracked and caved in, splitting apart like a spiderweb. A powerful shockwave tore through the air, sending dirt flying and walls shattering. The entire meeting room collapsed into ruins.The elite enforcers, caught in the blast, were flung backward like ragdolls. They crashed to the ground, disoriented and battered. Even Axel was thrown back more than ten yards.Warrick panted heavily, his face pale and drenched in sweat. Forcing his internal energy into action had only

Austin's words were strong and commanding, each one landing like a thunderclap.Warrick felt the weight of his presence. His brow furrowed for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He glanced at the so-called evidence on the floor, showing no sign of panic or guilt. Instead, he said indifferently, "Your Highness, these dead men were nothing more than ants. Is this really worth making such a fuss over? I doubt you haven't killed anyone before."As the old saying went, the higher one climbed, the heavier one's purse. Warrick had clawed his way up, risking his life at every step for the sake of rising above the masses. Everyone had their own desires—some sought fame, others fortune. Some were greedy for money, some for power, and others reveled in the adoration of the masses. To achieve those things, one inevitably had to engage in shady dealings. It was an unspoken rule among officials, and Warrick saw nothing wrong with it."Ants?" Austin sneered. "Without these 'ant

The ashen-faced Huxley was dragged away. With his crimes exposed, his fate was sealed. His entire family would be implicated, and their assets would be seized.Those guilty would be punished, and even those who had merely benefited from his corruption would be held accountable. To put it bluntly, Huxley's entire family was about to be annihilated.Austin issued his next order once the bloodstains were cleaned up. "Axel, it's time to bring in the mastermind."With Huxley dealt with, the next step was to confront Warrick. Unlike Huxley, Warrick wouldn't be easy to deal with. After all, he commanded a large number of troops. If backed into a corner, he could become a major threat."Understood!" Axel responded respectfully, then turned to his subordinates. "Gather more men and come with me."Warrick had earned his prestigious position through years of fierce battles. On the battlefield, he was a one-man army, a warrior capable of taking on thousands. His strength was beyond what mos

"You bastard! With all this evidence in front of you, what do you have to say for yourself?" Austin barked."Your Highness, please let me explain…" Huxley broke out in a cold sweat, his voice trembling with panic."This is a lie. Someone's trying to frame me! I've always followed the law—how could I possibly be involved in something so vile?""The evidence is right in front of you, and you're still trying to weasel out of it?" Austin shot back. "Looks like you won't confess until death is knocking at your door."He raised his hand and ordered, "Guards, throw him into Grimhold Keep. Use whatever means necessary—let's see how long he keeps up this act.""Yes, Your Highness."A squad of enforcement team members rushed in and surrounded Huxley.Cornered, Huxley finally lost his nerve. He dropped to his knees with a thud and begged, "Your Highness, I admit I made a grave mistake."His voice cracked as he continued, "I wasn't thinking clearly at the time. Please, for the sake of my y
