Natasha was solemn. Given her father's personality, she knew he would never hand over the treasure map once he knew Tyler was behind everything. However, that would certainly anger Tyler and put her father in danger. "I understand. I will send someone to protect Mr. Harmon discreetly," Dustin assured her."That puts me at ease." Natasha grinned. "Of course, I won't be gone for long. Once I've taken care of things with my new company in Oakvale, I'll return to Millsburg immediately. If everything goes well, I'll be back in three to five days.""Alright, I'll wait for you." Dustin nodded.After their food arrived, they chatted and ate in a pleasant atmosphere. Just then, the doors to the restaurant opened once again. A group of elegantly dressed young men and women entered, chatting happily. Dustin glanced over instinctively. He didn't think much of it at first, but suddenly, he froze. Looking back in the same direction, he appeared somewhat surprised. "What's wrong?" Nata

"I've been here for a while now. But I've been quite busy and haven't had the chance to visit General Murray."Dustin smiled and changed the subject, "By the way, how are you recovering? Do you still feel unwell?"Polarfrost was an extremely rare disease. It was hard to get rid of it entirely. His method of using a fiery beetle to suppress it could only ensure Sheila's safety for the next ten years. After ten years, unless she found a rare treasure to save her, she would die. "I'm doing great! I've been eating well too." Sheila smiled. "Of course, it's all thanks to you. I would have been long gone if it wasn't for you.""No need to mention it. Solving people's problems and getting paid is what I'm supposed to do," Dustin replied with a smile."Sheila, who's this? Why don't you introduce him to us?" a woman in red beside Sheila asked. "Ah, I almost forgot." Sheila was quick to catch on. "Vivian, this is Dustin. The one I've talked about. He's the one who cured me of my

Just then, a treacherous-looking young man spoke out."Neither." Dustin shook his head. "Oh? Are you from some backwater university?" The young man snickered.The rest of the group looked on amusingly. They were ready to witness a spectacle. "I've never gone to university," Dustin replied. "What? You've never even gone to university?" The young man replied with an exaggerated expression, "Bro, are you joking? How can you be a doctor without a degree?""I practice traditional medicine. I grew up in that environment, so I acquired the skills naturally." Dustin remained unfazed. "Traditional medicine?" The young man froze before bursting out in laughter. "Bro, you're joking, right? Traditional medicine? That's just another name for a swindler in the martial arts world.""Hah! Who believes in traditional medicine these days? Those who do are fools!" "You can't say that. Those old folks who frequent the parks are totally into it. There sure are those who fall for it."At

Everyone in the private room was stunned as they looked at the floor covered in yellow piss. Their mouths hung open in astonishment and disbelief. The young man, in particular, stood frozen, his face drained of color. He couldn't believe he had lost control of his bladder by just pressing two points!The most embarrassing part was that people were staring at him. "Ah—!" After a brief moment of shock, the young man screamed.He fled the room, clutching his crotch. Every step he took left a piss-stained footprint. The others looked on with strange expressions, the corners of their eyes twitching. It wasn't just embarrassing for him; it was utterly mortifying."Dustin! What exactly did you do to Jake to make him that way?" Vivian snapped. She rose from her seat. How dare a mere country doctor humiliate a scion of a prestigious family? It was nothing short of a horrible offense."I told you, he has weak kidneys. But you wouldn't believe it. You insisted on proof, so there you

Dustin couldn't be bothered with a smug know-it-all like Vivian."What's the matter? Cat got your tongue now that you're feeling guilty? I knew it!"Vivian sneered with disdain. "I've seen plenty of scammers like you in the martial arts world. You may be able to fool Sheila, but you won't fool me!""Vivian, Dustin isn't a scammer. I believe him!" Sheila spoke up for Dustin. "Sheila, you're a good person, but you're just too naive and easily fooled. You should be especially careful with those with unclear backgrounds." As Vivian spoke, she glanced at Dustin, clearly implying something. To her, Dustin was no different than the pretty-faced boys who used to pursue Sheila. They tried their best to please her, aiming to climb up the social ladder and gain a foothold in upper society. Fortunately, Vivian was sharp enough to see through all the tricks."Vivian, you got it all wrong. Dustin is a good man." Sheila's brow furrowed lightly.It suddenly occurred to her that her friend

Looking at the broken glass on the floor, everyone was stunned.Nobody expected Dustin to return and knock the glass out of Vivian's hands without a word."Hey! What are you doing? Are you crazy?" After a brief moment of shock, Vivian slammed the table as she stood up. The slap had left the back of her hand swollen and burning in pain. "Outrageous! How dare you offend Vivian like that? You have nerves of steel!"The others berated Dustin in righteous anger. "If you don't explain yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk out that door." Evan stood up slowly, his domineering aura gradually showing itself."The wine was poisoned. I was saving your lives," Dustin responded coldly. "Poisoned?" They all exchanged dismayed looks, feeling doubtful. They had assumed Dustin acted out in revenge, but his revelation caught them off guard. "Hah! Am I supposed to just take your word for it? How do we know you're not lying?" Vivian yelled. She was naturally suspicious and would

"Vivian, what are you talking about? Dustin saved us!" Sheila was dumbfounded."Sheila, don't be fooled by him. This guy has ulterior motives!" Vivian smugly explained, "He was the one who poisoned our drinks! He made a show of leaving before returning at a critical moment to play the hero. "He did all that to earn our trust! But these tricks won't fool me!"Vivian's explanation cast a shadow of doubt in everyone's minds. What she said did seem possible. After all, they would rather trust Vivian than a stranger. "Hey, are you that full of yourself? I'm not that desperate for entertainment to play these petty games with you," Dustin replied coldly.He had been kind enough to help them, but he didn't expect this woman to be so ungrateful!"Hmph! You still won't admit it? Fine!" Vivian said. She continued, "Then let me ask you. How did you just so happen to bump into that waiter and just so happen to pick up this vial of poison? "Don't tell me these are all just coincidences

"What?"The unexpected turn of events startled everyone. It was especially shocking for Vivian, who was left dumbfounded.She looked down to see the bleeding wound on her chest. Her face showed a mixture of shock, astonishment, confusion, fear, and disbelief.She never expected to get shot. It happened so fast and without any warning. She was in a daze. Then, she suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. The situation had finally hit her. "Assassins! Get down!" Evan was the first to react and shouted out loud. The others snapped out of their daze. They were quick to take cover on the ground. Meanwhile, several masked assassins burst into the room. They had kicked the door open. Each of them wielded a silenced pistol. Upon entering, they opened fire without mercy, shooting anyone they saw. Amidst the rapid gunfire, two people were struck down. "Damn it!" Evan got angry. Instead of retreating, he kicked a table over. It crashed into several of the assassins. Taking ad

Austin sat in his chair and silently watched the royal advisors put on their pretentious act. He slowly sipped his tea as if he couldn't be bothered by their so-called accusations.His nonchalant demeanor made Langdon and the others frown. Their once-outrageous voices began to falter.They had stormed in full of righteous fury earlier, only to be met with complete apathy. What was the point of arguing when he wasn't even listening?"Are you done?" Austin finally spoke once the room had quieted down. "If not, go ahead and keep talking. Say as much as you need to until you're satisfied.""Your Highness, we're here to discuss serious matters. Your dismissive attitude is truly disappointing," Langdon said sharply."Serious matters?" Austin let out a short laugh.He went on, "You barge in here without even understanding the full picture and spewing accusations like they're facts. As far as I'm concerned, you're no different from clowns putting on a show.""You… How dare you!" Langdon

"Are you even qualified to sit while speaking to me?"Austin's words struck like the blow of a hammer. They were sharp and unrelenting, and they left no room for retort.Langdon sat frozen and was momentarily speechless. He hadn't expected a brat like Austin to have such a sharp tongue.If he admitted he had come for personal matters, he would keep his pride intact, but he would lose control of the conversation. Everything he had prepared—and all the accusations he meant to throw—would be meaningless.But if he insisted it was official business, he would have to show proper respect and offer a formal greeting. No matter how he answered, he would be conceding ground."I'll ask one more time. Are you here on official or personal matters?" Austin asked coldly."O-Official matters." Cornered, Langdon barely managed to get the words out."Well? Is this how an official conducts himself?" Austin pressed.Langdon had no choice but to rise and offer a deep bow. "Your Highness, it's an h

After a night of chaos, some of the Red Legion's members were killed, others were captured, and the entire force had been wiped out.But the fallout didn't stop there. The Prescott estate was also raided. All embezzled wealth was confiscated, and those found guilty were thrown into prison.Anyone connected to the Prescotts was placed under house arrest and subjected to rigorous investigation.And the man behind it—Warrick—had become the kingdom's most wanted fugitive.Until he was captured, Celestria remained under lockdown. Major roads were sealed off, and patrol teams scoured every corner to ensure Warrick had no way out.Austin's crackdown sparked outrage among senior officials who didn't know the full story. They voiced their dissatisfaction, with some even gathering outside the castle gates in protest. They stomped their feet in outrage, just short of openly cursing him.To them, Warrick had made great contributions to the nation. Even if he had committed crimes, he didn't d

Austin's words were calm and almost casual. Yet, they struck like thunder and echoed in the hearts of the three assistant generals of the Red Legion.If they answered Austin's questions, there might still be a slim chance of survival. But if they refused, death was the only outcome.After all, who would willingly choose death when they had worked so hard to achieve their wealth and status? Yet, pride and dignity held them back. They didn't want to be branded as traitors.Now, they were caught in a dilemma. Which was more important—their honor or their lives? It was an impossible choice."You have ten seconds left. If you don't speak, you'll lose your chance." Austin's voice was utterly devoid of emotion.His words seemed to pierce their souls, and the three Red Legion assistant generals broke into a cold sweat.As the countdown neared its end, Auron finally couldn't hold back. "Your Highness! I'll talk—I'll tell you everything."Dropping to his knees, he scrambled forward and wa

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
