Chapter 888

Author: Marina Vittori
With a crisp, loud smack, Brittany was sent flying. She spun in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

When she opened her mouth, two of her teeth fell out. Her nose was bleeding, too.

For a split second, a deathly silence came over the place.

All the Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples gaped in horror. They looked like they'd just seen a ghost.

Never in their dreams had they expected a man to hit Brittany so hard that she was sent flying, and not after she had kissed him!

That was Brittany—the most seductive and alluring charmer among them all! She was a great beauty; countless talented young men fought for her attention.

Even men from elite and prominent backgrounds admired her!

She was used to men fawning and bending backward for her. None of them ever showed their temper or said anything mean to her.

Dustin was unhappy after getting a kiss from Brittany, and he even slapped her!

How dare he do something like that? Was he out of his mind?

"You—you hit me?" Brittany sc

    "Saving her is easy. But who is she to me? Why should I save her?" Dustin asked."Young man, if you save Edith, we will forget about all past grudges!" Letitia coaxed. "Besides, I will let you choose one of our disciples as your wife if you wish.""I have no interest in any of you from the Jade Maiden Sisterhood. If you want me to save Madam Parker, I have three conditions," Dustin said."What are your conditions?" Letitia squinted at him."First, I shall be paid 50 billion." Dustin raised a finger."Fifty billion? That's outrageous!" Brittany was angered."Then I guess we do not have a deal." Dustin left them no room to negotiate."Alright, alright. Fifty billion it is!" Letitia nodded.Money was not important. As long as Madam Edith was alive, they could always make more. The Jade Maiden Sisterhood lacked no rich men fawning over them."Second, Nikki Horst returns to the Jade Maiden Sisterhood." Dustin raised another finger."That wouldn't be a problem." Letitia agreed re

    "What are you doing still standing there? Get lost!" Letitia shouted at her impatiently.Brittany seemed to wake up from a trance. She glared at Dustin as she pointed a finger at him. "You … you wretched bastards! Curse you!""Throw her out!" Letitia didn't want to deal with her anymore. The Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples dragged Brittany away on Letitia's orders. If she stayed longer, she might anger Dustin with her nasty words. That would be terrible for them."I've driven her out of the sisterhood now, young man. Will you save Edith now?" Letitia asked after getting rid of Brittany."Pay up first," Dustin reminded."Sure." Letitia dared not wait any longer. She immediately transferred all the money she had to Dustin.Once the transaction was completed, Dustin nodded reluctantly.Under his orders, his men brought the unconscious Edith into the infirmary.After renovating Zephyr Lodge, it now had all sorts of facilities. From infirmaries to sparring halls and libraries,

    Dustin jumped to his feet when he heard what Florence said. "How did that happen?""You beast! How dare you ask me how that happened? It's all because of you, of course!" Florence shouted. "After she met you the other night, Dahlia seemed to have lost her soul! She refused to eat or drink, and she cried endless nights! Then, this morning, she attempted suicide by jumping off the building!"Dustin felt like he'd been struck by lightning. His mind went completely blank. Never in his wildest dreams had he ever thought that Dahlia would act so rashly!How could she attempt suicide by jumping off a building without saying anything to anyone at all? Had she lost her mind?"She … How is she now?" There was a tremble in Dustin's voice."She's still in a critical condition and doing horribly! Her life is in danger!"And this is all because of you! You beast! You're the reason Dahlia threw herself off the building!"I'm warning you, Rhys! If anything happens to Dahlia, I'll make you pay

    "Who are you? Do I know you?"Her words shocked Dustin.Florence and the rest of them exchanged bewildered looks."You … you don't recognize me?" Dustin was stunned."Should I know you?" Dahlia looked at him coldly.It was like she was looking at a stranger. She looked at him warily as if she wanted Dustin to stay away from her."Is something wrong? Let me have a look." Dustin went forward to check on her pulse. But the moment he touched her, she recoiled instantly, as if his touch burned her."What are you doing?" Dahlia looked at him frostily, caution in her eyes.Dustin wasn't used to how she was treating him like a total stranger. Could she be suffering from … amnesia?"Dahlia, what's wrong? Don't scare me!" Florence was flustered. Looking close to tears, she approached Dahlia and asked, "You can't have forgotten everything, can you? Don't you remember me?""Mom, what are you saying? Of course, I remember you!" Dahlia looked at her, confused."You do? Oh, that's grea

    "Take care, and don't do anything reckless anymore. We'll meet again in the future."Dustin turned to leave after saying farewell. It seemed like things were fated to end between them."Mom, that man was weird. Have I met him before?" Dahlia frowned as she watched Dustin leave. Somehow, he made her feel nostalgic. But she couldn't recall who he was."No, of course, you haven't met him before. He's just an insurance agent. Why would you be concerned about him? "Here, lie down and have a good rest." Florence was overjoyed."That's right, Dahlia. You've just had a traffic accident and barely survived. Don't overthink things," Julie chimed in.To them, Dahlia forgetting about Dustin was a good thing."Okay." Dahlia nodded. Though things seemed weird to her, she didn't give them further thought.…Dustin's emotions were a mess on his way back.The current outcome was a relatively good ending for both of them. But somehow, Dustin couldn't find it within him to feel happy.Maybe

    Dustin frowned when he saw Brittany. "Why are you here? Haven't you been kicked out of the sisterhood?""If Nikki can be reaccepted, then so can I! How's that? Do you like the surprise?" Brittany taunted as she crossed her arms.Dustin could plan all he wanted but could not go against Edith's word."I need a reasonable explanation." Dustin looked at Letitia."Young man, I must admit that you have cured Edith of her injuries. But we've paid you 50 billion as compensation. "I think that's more than enough. You should be appreciative," Letitia said calmly.She looked poised and showed no signs of remorse."Money is one thing, but this is an entirely different matter. Since you promised me, then you should have kept it. "The Jade Maiden Sisterhood is a decent guild. Are you going back on your word?" Dustin asked frostily."So what if we go back on our word? You have no place meddling in affairs of the sisterhood!" Brittany huffed."That's right! We will do as we please. It has

    "Wait!"Nikki came running out and stood between Dustin and Edith. "Can we please sit down and talk things through calmly? There must be a misunderstanding. Please don't fight.""Get lost! This is none of your business!" Edith glared at her fiercely."Madam Edith, Dustin saved your life today! You can't repay his kindness with revenge!" Nikki was exasperated."Shut up! You're in no place to speak here!" Edith lost her cool. It was embarrassing for her to be lectured by her disciple."Madam Parker, I'm giving you a chance for Nikki's sake."Dustin demanded coldly, "If you break Brittany's leg, we can all pretend that nothing happened today.""Utter rubbish! Why should anyone do as you say? Who do you think you are?" Brittany glared at him."Have you gone mad, brat? What makes you think that I'll take orders from you?" Edith looked at him condescendingly."Why?" Dustin stepped forward before confidently saying, "Because I have the original copy of the Jade Maiden Scripture!

    For a moment, all eyes were on Brittany.The Jade Maiden Scripture was important to the Jade Maiden Sisterhood.But Dustin had made his condition known. He demanded that Brittany's leg be broken. And most importantly, he wanted Edith to do it personally."Dus—!" Nikki intended to speak for them, but Dustin cut her off by raising a hand. His gaze was fixed on Edith. "What do you say, Madam Parker?""Brittany is my lead disciple. I can never hurt her as her mentor," Edith said righteously."So I take it that you have no interest in the Jade Maiden Scripture?" Dustin raised a brow."Of course, I'm interested in it. But I do not plan to take orders from you."Edith lifted her chin and said, "I will have the scripture and protect my disciple. "Pass me the Jade Maiden Scripture now. That is an order. "If you do, I will forgive you for your rudeness earlier. Otherwise, do not be surprised if I attack you!"Dustin was so angered that he failed to hold back a laugh.She had rea

    "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
