Chapter 828

Author: Marina Vittori
"Alright, Haley. Don't make things difficult for Uncle Dustin. Look, his forehead is already dripping with sweat." Natasha couldn't help but laugh, trying to save Dustin from embarrassment.

Only he would get bullied by a child so badly.

"Uncle Dustin, you're sweating? Let me wipe your forehead." Haley took out a couple of tissues and began to dab at Dustin's forehead.

"Haley, it's getting dark. You should head back with Mom," Nelson interjected.

"But I still want to talk to Uncle Dustin." Haley seemed reluctant to go.

"It's your birthday tomorrow, right? We can talk more tomorrow," Dustin hurriedly added.

"Really?" Haley's face lit up with joy.

"Of course." Dustin nodded seriously.

"Pinky promise," Haley said while sticking out her pinky finger.

"I promise." Dustin smiled and hooked his pinky with hers.

"Uncle Dustin, I want to tell you a secret." After linking pinkies, Haley leaned close to Dustin's ear.

She whispered, "Dad keeps coughing a lot these days. He must be sic

    "That night, I was too impulsive and unintentionally hit you. I should apologize." Dahlia bit her lip.Changing the topic, she continued, "Nonetheless, everything I do is for your own good. Mr. Killian comes from a prominent background. If you hit him, you'd only cause trouble for yourself." "Gavin does have some status, but that doesn't mean I fear him," Dustin said indifferently."Dustin, Mr. Killian isn't as ordinary as you think. You can't afford to offend someone as important as him!" Dahlia warned.Gavin was a successful young man from an influential family. He also has a high rank and even commanded a massive troop. With just one order, he could command the entire troop to go against someone.To offend someone like that was equivalent to digging one's own grave."You can think whatever you want. If you think I can't afford to offend him, then so be it." Dustin didn't want to explain himself. He knew that no matter what he said, Dahlia wouldn't believe him. "What? Yo

    "You found him?" Dustin's expression turned grim. "Who was it?!""An assassin from Shadowslayer. He'd laid low in the Hill family for many years. Today, when Sir Paul had his guard down, he drugged and killed him!" Felix reported. "It was the Shadowslayer again?" Dustin frowned slightly. "Where's the murderer? Were you able to track him down?" "According to our investigation, he's hiding in a house at the foot of Mount Shinefield," Felix answered."Gather all the elite warriors in the gang and head to Mount Shinefield for a manhunt! We can't let him get away!" Dustin ordered."Yes, sir!" Felix said. He turned around and left. Twenty minutes later, Dustin led over a hundred elite members of the Kirin Gang. They charged their way up Mount Shinefield. In order to not spook the target, they didn't notify anyone else. This operation was kept under close wraps.When they got to Mount Shinefield, the sky was almost completely dark.Yesterday, Mount Shinefield was bustling with ex

    Dustin made a quick decision. "Get in the car now! Get Ms. Harmon out of here safely!" "What about you?" Natasha frowned."These people can't hurt me. You leave first. I'll be right behind you," Dustin urged.As he spoke, he shot silver needles into the forest and killed the snipers in hiding one after another.But there were too many enemies surrounding them. The gunshots still hadn't stopped; he couldn't hold them back."Be careful!" Natasha nodded. Without wasting another breath, she got into the car.She knew that if she stayed here, she would only distract Dustin."Nelson, take good care of Ms. Harmon," Dustin reminded Nelson seriously over his shoulder."Rest assured, Sir Rhys. I won't let them harm a single hair on Ms. Harmon's head!" Nelson called on a few of his trusted subordinates and shouted, "You guys, get in the car and help me get out of this ambush!""Yes!" they answered. They all got into their cars and escorted Nelson's car out. Before the enemy could surr

    At that moment, several cars with bullet holes and emitting smoke stopped at the entrance of Zephyr Lodge.The door opened, and Natasha and Nelson quickly stepped out."Ms. Harmon, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Nelson looked fearful.When they escaped the ambush earlier, bullets were flying everywhere. Nelson didn't know how many bullets hit their car."I'm fine. Go get help for Dustin." Natasha urged."Oh, right!" Nelson immediately came to his senses and shouted, "Hurry! Gather all the Kirin Gang members! We're going to help Sir Rhys!""Yes, sir!" his subordinates replied. They hurried inside to call the others.A short while later, a group of Kirin Gang disciples swarmed toward Mount Shinefield."Ms. Harmon, Sir Rhys is strong, and many members are backing him up. He'll be fine. You should head inside and get some rest." Nelson wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then, he led Natasha into the meeting room."Nelson, just who did your gang leader piss off? First, it was getting

    "Run, Ms. Harmon!" Gritting his teeth, Nelson grabbed his sword and cleared a path for Natasha to escape. Natasha immediately ran out of the meeting room. When she turned around, Nelson and his men were already lying in pools of blood. "Grab her! Don't let her escape!" Felix yelled, knowing that Natasha was Dustin's weakness. He planned to use Natasha as a hostage if Dustin was still alive. "After her!"As Charging Tiger Guild's disciples charged after her, Nelson sprung up. He was bleeding but pushed past the men and dashed to close the doors. "Run, Ms. Harmon!" he yelled as he locked the doors. "You motherfucker! You're doomed!" Felix was pissed. He grabbed one of his subordinates' swords and slashed Nelson multiple times. Despite his injuries, Nelson didn't budge from the door, and his grip never loosened. "Just die!" Felix was furious and brought the sword down on Nelson nonstop. Even Felix's subordinates frowned at the gruesome sight. After dozens of strikes,

    "Nelson!"Dustin paled as the situation sank in. He quickly took out his needles and tried to stop the bleeding. But it was impossible, as Nelson had too many wounds. Realizing the severity of the situation, Dustin began channeling his true energy into Nelson, desperate to keep him alive. Finally, Nelson's eyes cracked open tiredly. "Y—you're back …" Nelson croaked. "I—is Ms. Harmon alright?""She's safe." Dustin forced a smile. "That's good …" The corner of Nelson's mouth lifted. "I kept my promise, Sir. I d—did what you told me to a—and protected Ms. Harmon …""That's right. You did." Dustin nodded frantically. Although he kept channeling his true energy into Nelson, he could still feel Nelson's life slowly slipping away. "Sir … I—I don't think I can hang on anymore. I'd l—like to ask for a favor …" Nelson's breathing became labored. "Don't be silly! I'm a miracle doctor! I will save you!" Gritting his teeth, Dustin inserted a few needles into Nelson's body. Ye

    Before going on his mission, Nelson had texted his wife. However, Cecilia became worried when he didn't pick up the phone, so she rushed over with their daughter. The sight of blood at the door only made her even more uneasy. "Nelson? Where are you?" Cecilia cried out worriedly.All Kirin Gang members remained silent, their heads lowered. The entire manor was quiet. "Nelson?"When Cecilia finally arrived at the meeting room, she was stunned. Was that bloody corpse on the floor, her husband?She stumbled forward in disbelief. Reality sank in when she saw the man's face, and she threw herself over the body and began to weep. "Wake up, Nelson! Wake up! Please open your eyes! Oh, why did this happen?" Tears streamed down Cecilia's face. Haley was crying as well. She ran over to Nelson and kept pushing his body. "Daddy, wake up! Weren't we going to celebrate my birthday? You promised me you would bring me to the theme park! "Wake up! Y—you broke your promise. Bad daddy! I

    Felix was lying on the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth in a lavish mansion in Eastville. He had one of his legs propped up on a coffee table with a bloody hand firmly attached to it. Two of his men crouched beside the table as they carefully tried to pry the hand off. Because of how firm Nelson's grip was, his nails had already dug into Felix's skin. "Damn it, be careful!" Felix hissed with a frown, kicking one of the men to the floor. "Give us a second. We're almost done." His subordinate smiled apologetically. Finally, they managed to get Nelson's hand off. "What the fuck is wrong with that asshole? He just wouldn't let go! Why did he have to go so far for that bastard?" Felix cursed. He had been waiting for his chance since the Kirin Gang was established. Although he had finally become a guildmaster and lived a much better life than before, he refused to obey someone else's command. He had always been greedy, so he kept his eyes glued to the leader's position. A

    Poseidon scoffed. "You're so full of yourself." The surrounding seawater surged violently. It transformed into countless razor-sharp water spikes and whistled toward Dustin. The deadly edges glinted under the sunlight. Like a silver rainstorm, the barrage swallowed every inch of space around him.Dustin's sharp gaze locked onto the incoming strikes. With a light swing of the Celestial Blade, a streak of black sword aura shot out. Every water spike in its path shattered into mist and rained down in a cascade of droplets.However, Poseidon refused to relent. His attacks came in endless waves, an unbroken torrent.He gripped his trident with both hands and spun it, creating several blue energy rings. Each one expanded rapidly and surged toward Dustin like crashing waves.Dustin's figure flickered and vanished from his spot. The next second, he reappeared just outside the energy rings.Hovering in midair, he spun at incredible speed. The Celestial Blade in his hand turned into a b

    "Logan, I have to admit that you're stronger than I thought. I never expected you'd push me this far," Poseidon said.His arms slowly spread wide, and his blue eyes glowed with murderous intent. "As a mark of respect, I will give it everything I've got. You'll witness the true extent of my power."With a flick of his hand, he made a grabbing gesture. His trident, which had fallen to the bottom of the sea, shot back up through the water and landed firmly in his grasp.Compared to his earlier arrogance, Poseidon now stood with a newfound seriousness. It wasn't just Dustin's strength that had him on edge but his terrifying potential.At only 20, Dustin already possessed this level of strength. If he continued to grow, he would become a serious threat to the Hall of Gods. Hence, Poseidon resolved to eliminate him today."Watch closely," he said.Poseidon slowly raised his trident and gripped it like a javelin. While channeling his energy into the weapon, it pulsed with an intense blu

    Dustin was Dragonmarsh's elite prodigy, while Poseidon was the famous royal god of the Hall of Gods.Every move they exchanged unleashed destructive power. Within moments, the area within a 300-foot radius was reduced to wreckage.Dustin wielded his true energy-infused longsword. Each swing unleashed a blinding flare of light as if it could split the sky apart with the Celestial Blade.On the contrary, Poseidon's trident commanded the winds and rains. Each strike could summon huge rolling waves as if he were a god reigning over the forces of nature.Sword aura clashed against walls of water and plunged the entire area into chaos.Warrick and the others watched with rapt attention. Their eyes were locked on the battle ahead as they tried to make sense of the chaos.But Dustin and Poseidon were moving so fast that their actions were almost impossible to follow. Their movements blurred together, and they could only catch flashes of two figures constantly clashing. Their strikes ca

    "Let me correct you," Dustin said.As his hand slowly tightened into a fist, a white longsword formed from his true energy. "In Dragonmarsh, there is no 'God. ' We only have the Lord of the Dead."The moment the words left his mouth, a tempest of sword aura exploded outward. Within a radius of several dozen yards, the winds howled, sand and stones were sent flying, and the waves along the shore grew even more violent."Such overwhelming pressure. That sword aura is insane. Is this Logan's actual strength?"Feeling the surge of energy, Warrick and the others couldn't help but turn pale. It was then they realized that Dustin hadn't been fighting seriously before. Or perhaps, with their strength, they hadn't even earned the right to make him fight for real. They figured only someone of Poseidon's caliber could force Dustin to go all out."Interesting… truly fascinating." Poseidon suddenly laughed. "I thought you were just a pup, but it turns out you're a hungry wolf. Now, this is s

    Poseidon hovered in the air with his trident in one hand and radiated a commanding presence. He stood like a god, and his figure was so intimidating that it struck fear into those who beheld him.With a wave of his hand, an invisible energy struck Warrick and expelled the three silver needles from his body. Feeling sensation returned to his limbs, Warrick's face lit up. He quickly rose to his feet and clenched his fist to his chest in salute."Thank you, Lord Poseidon, for saving me. I will never forget this kindness!" he said."No need for formalities, Sir Prescott. Now that you've pledged yourself to the Hall of Gods, it's only natural that I ensure your safety," Poseidon replied with a faint smile as he descended gracefully."Your timely arrival was a blessing," Warrick said as he bowed his head slightly in deference. "Otherwise, we would have perished tonight."The Hall of Gods' royal gods were figures he could only look up to. Everything about Poseidon, from his power to hi

    Mulder knew Warrick had been on the battlefield for years, and his physical strength was unmatched. On top of that, he was already halfway to becoming an ultimate grandmaster. Even if Warrick couldn't defeat the prodigious Logan, Mulder figured the difference wouldn't be too big. But he never expected Logan to take down Warrick with a single finger, leaving him severely injured and unable to stand. The difference in their strength was far beyond anything Mulder could have imagined.In other words, Logan had been toying with them from the start and didn't take the fight seriously. If he had, they would've all been dead.Warrick clutched his chest and coughed up blood as he staggered to his feet. His chest was a charred ruin, the flesh torn open and slick with blood. It was an awful, gory mess."I didn't expect you to be this strong. I underestimated you," he growled.He slowly raised his head, and his face twisted with a menacing look. "Guess I was just unlucky to fall into your

    "Oh? You guessed it?" Dustin smirked. "Now that you know who I am, it's up to you to decide what to do."If Warrick chose to surrender, Dustin would simply seal his pressure points and leave him to Austin's judgment. But if he resisted, Dustin wouldn't hesitate to cripple him."Haven't you given up your title as the prince? Why did you return? Are you going to compete with Austin for the throne?" Warrick asked.Uncertainty flickered across his face before he continued, "If that's your intention, I can help you. Spare me today, and I guarantee you'll become the next Prince of West Lucozia."Power was a tempting beast. History was filled with stories of brothers turning against each other and fathers murdering their sons for it.In Warrick's mind, Logan's quiet return to West Lucozia meant one thing—he was after the throne."Guarantee?" Dustin scoffed. "What guarantee are you offering?" His voice was dripping with disdain. "You're a cornered rat now. You're barely holding on to you

    "Warrick's blade technique is terrifying," Mulder mumbled. "This should be the finishing blow, right?"Watching from a distance, he was awestruck by the dazzling blade aura. Only now did he truly grasp the sheer gulf between Warrick and Dustin.Warrick's strike descended with such overwhelming force that it seemed to split the earth and obliterate everything in its path. Even from 300 feet away, the pressure rolling off it sent a chill down Mulder's spine.Under Mulder's stunned gaze, Warrick brought his full weight down, with blade and body merging into a single force that swallowed Dustin whole.The instant they clashed, an incandescent explosion of light erupted. It was so blinding that Mulder couldn't even open his eyes.A split second later, a deafening blast erupted, and a shockwave shot outward like a tidal surge. The force flattened the waves and overturned several fishing boats docked at the pier.Even Mulder, more than 300 feet away, was caught in the blast and tumbled

    "So what if I am? And what if I push even further?" Dustin's smile slowly faded. "If you don't like it, do something about it."There was no reasoning with tyrants like Warrick."Punk, are you really willing to risk your life against me? Have you ever considered what happens if you lose?" Warrick's face turned grim as a wave of killing intent spread from him.He had already taken a step back to avoid unnecessary trouble. If Dustin refused to back down, there was no choice but to fight."Cut the crap. You wanna fight, fight." Dustin didn't bother with more words. With a flick of his wrist, a silver needle shot out and aimed toward Warrick's forehead—silent, unassuming, but deadly."Hmm?" Warrick's brow furrowed as he instinctively raised his arm. Sparks flew as the needle deflected off his arm and buried into the ground."Oh? You've mastered the Adamantine Body Technique?" Dustin narrowed his eyes. At that instant, he saw through Warrick's technique. Not only was he halfway
