"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

Ten minutes later, Warrick was escorted out of Room A1 again.Axel's demeanor had completely changed since their first meeting, and he had become unusually warm."Sir Prescott, Lord Austin has concluded the investigation. It turns out this matter has nothing to do with you. We made a mistake earlier, and I apologize for any offense caused." He smiled apologetically and spoke with a humble tone."Hm?" Seeing the fawning expression on Axel's face, Warrick raised an eyebrow and looked surprised. Just moments ago, the two sides had been at each other's throats. What had caused such a sudden change?"Did you really investigate it thoroughly?" Warrick asked tentatively."Of course! According to our findings, Jovian's disappearance was the result of a personal vendetta from his enemies in Oakvale," Axel said with a straight face.He continued, "He was a tyrant and always stirring up trouble everywhere he went. He got what was coming to him. Lord Austin only launched the investigation

"After you, Sir Prescott." With one hand resting on the hilt of his sword, Axel's other hand gestured toward the door."Hmph!" Warrick shot a cold glance at Axel's subtle movement and then turned to leave the meeting room.Even if Austin had his suspicions, Warrick knew he couldn't do anything to him without concrete evidence.Axel escorted Warrick back to Room A1. After closing the door, he went to Room A2 and led Huxley to the meeting room."Your Highness, it is my privilege to stand before you." Huxley entered the meeting room with a respectful salute."Mr. Thatcher, please take a seat." Austin's face remained neutral as he gestured for Huxley to sit, then motioned for Axel to pour him a cup of tea."Do you know why I've summoned you here today?" Austin spoke calmly, and his words carried the same probing tone as earlier."Is it about Jovian's disappearance?" Huxley asked in return."Oh? It seems you're quick on the uptake." Austin raised an eyebrow. "In that case, g

The enforcement team worked with remarkable efficiency. Within an hour, Huxley, Warrick, and Percival had been brought back to the castle.Per Austin's instructions, Axel made sure the three met briefly upon arrival, though they were given no opportunity to speak to one another. Afterward, they were taken to separate rooms and were guarded individually.Due to their status, the enforcement team treated them with respect, offering them tea and wine. However, they weren't allowed to leave their rooms and had to wait for Austin to summon them.Warrick was confined to Room A1, Huxley to Room A2, and Percival to Room A3. Their rooms were right next to each other, separated only by thin walls. If they stepped out, they would see one another, but none of them knew how close they were.This, of course, was all part of Austin's plan. He knew that extracting the truth from these three cunning foxes would require unconventional tactics.…Inside Room A1, Warrick sat calmly, sipping his te

"Hm?"Even Warrick frowned at the news.The royal enforcement team was rarely mobilized. When they did, it was always for something monumental. The question was, did a minor figure like Jovian Ballard really warrant such attention from Austin?"Mr. Thatcher, are you sure the royal enforcement team has been mobilized? And it's because of Jovian?" Warrick asked skeptically."Of course I'm sure," Huxley replied with a grave expression. "I've just received orders from above. The enforcement team captain will be taking over my duties temporarily. From now on, they'll have full control over the city's defense and investigative operations.""That's strange. Why would Lord Austin go to such lengths for someone so insignificant?" Warrick was confused, his brow furrowing.According to his intel, this was the first time Jovian and Austin had even met. Even if they had crossed paths before, it shouldn't have been enough to justify deploying the enforcement team.It seemed Warrick had undere

The next morning, after breakfast at the West Lucozian castle, Austin tried calling Jovian. However, his calls went unanswered. After several attempts, he still couldn't get through."Huh?" Austin was puzzled. They had made plans the previous day to head to Oakvale that day. Why was Jovian suddenly unreachable? Had he stood Austin up?After thinking it over, he found that unlikely. He and Jovian had gotten along well and even called each other brothers. On top of that, they had promised to travel together and watch out for one another.If Jovian had an urgent matter that required him to leave West Lucozia, he would have at least given Austin a heads-up. Jovian wouldn't just disappear without a word."Could something have happened to him?" Austin's unease grew. He quickly summoned his trusted aide. "Go find out where Jovian is. Report back to me as soon as you have any information.""Yes, Your Highness," the aide replied before hurrying off.Austin poured himself a cup of tea

A dull sound echoed through the air.Jovian's body shuddered. Blood streamed from his eyes, ears, and nose as he crumpled to the ground, lifeless. He was dead. After fighting to his last breath, he had chosen the only honorable way out.The scene had left even the assassins, who were no strangers to bloodshed, momentarily stunned. Taking one's own life so decisively wasn't something just anyone could do. Even the lowest of creatures had the instinct to cling to life, let alone a human being."This guy… He's ruthless," Ronan muttered, and his face darkened.Warrick had given strict orders to capture Jovian alive, but now he was dead. Now, Ronan had no way to deliver. If he had known it would come to this, he would have personally intervened to kill Jovian first."What now, boss?" one of the assassins asked."Clean up the scene," Ronan ordered. "I'll take the body back myself." With that, he hoisted Jovian's body onto his shoulder, tossed it into the vehicle, and drove off.…W

The sounds of battle echoed under the streetlights. Shouts of pain mixed with the clash of weapons could be heard. Five figures were locked in a deadly struggle, and blood splattered across the ground.The fight raged for nearly half an hour until the noise gradually subsided. The five figures lay motionless in pools of blood.Under the dim glow of the streetlights, three of the black-clad assassins were confirmed dead. One's neck was snapped, another's chest pierced, and the last had bled out from a fatal wound.Jovian and Boston were in no better condition.Boston was soaked in blood. His body was riddled with deep cuts, some so severe they exposed the bone beneath.Jovian wasn't much better. His abdomen and shoulder were slashed. His right arm had been severed, and he was left in a pitiful state.Boston coughed. After taking down the last assassin, he collapsed to the ground. He gasped for air as blood poured from his mouth. His chest and abdomen were torn open, and his orga

"Jovian, listen to me. West Lucozia's trouble runs deep. You won't be able to handle it. You need to get out of there," Boston urged.When Jovian remained silent, Boston couldn't hide his growing concern. After all, they were comrades, and he didn't want to see his friend die on the street."You're right. I'm not afraid if they come at me head-on. What worries me is if they come at me from behind."After hesitating for a moment, Jovian nodded. "Alright, Boston. Take me back to the hotel. I'll pack my things.""Now that's more like it." Boston sighed in relief. "As they say, there's always a chance as long as you're alive. The most important thing is to stay safe.""Thanks, man. I'll buy you a drink next time." Jovian smiled.Without Boston's constant advice, Jovian might have taken a chance. But if things went south, he'd regret it too late.Back at the hotel, Jovian wasted no time. He packed quickly, then hopped into Boston's car to head to the airport. With the burden lifted,

"Gentlemen, I've done my part and had my tea already. I still have things to take care of, so I'll leave now. Farewell!" Jovian said.When no one responded, he didn't say another word. He nodded respectfully, stood up, and exited the room.When the door opened, Warrick's face darkened, and his hand instinctively moved toward the hilt of his sword. But before he could act, Huxley gently touched his arm and shook his head.Jovian noticed something was off and paused at the doorway before stepping out.Boston, who was standing by the door, let out a quiet sigh of relief as he watched Jovian leave without a scratch. His relief was short-lived, though, when he saw the grim expressions on the faces of the three men inside.It was clear that the meeting hadn't gone well. Fortunately, nothing too serious had happened. Otherwise, Boston would have much explaining to do to both sides."Why did you stop me? That arrogant brat clearly doesn't respect us. He'll think we're pushovers if we don
