The might of the Panther Gang was unquestionable. They were not a small gang made up of scattered, ragtag individuals. They were a group of true, formidable forces of the underground in Honora! When did the members of the Panther Gang become so weak? “You… Where do these underlings of yours come from?” Devon said with gritted teeth as he stared at the Hell Guards with his mouth wide open. “Just a few lackeys I trained,” Dustin said flatly. “Anyway, what were you saying just a moment ago? You’re the nephew of the head of the Panther Gang? Why don’t you call everyone here? Get them in here all at once. Makes it easier to kill them in one go.” Devon was stunned. His entire army was being undermined. “Don’t get cocky! These are only the Panther Gang’s weakest members. There are more than a hundred people outside. No matter how powerful your people are, do you think they can beat a hundred men?” Devon asked viciously. “Hmph! Back in the day, the Aquila family even dared t
The three branch leaders of the Panther Gang were stony-faced. One of them said coldly, “Arrogant punk!” Dustin had cut off Devon’s head and was demanding Blake Torell, Blake, to come here to see him. None of them had ever encountered anyone who was so brazen in Rivenesco. “We won’t dare to return to the head of our gang without your head as a trophy!” The branch leaders were aggressive while their crowd of gang members outside were preparing to rush in. Dustin looked annoyed as he waved a hand. One of the Hell Guards made his move. He was like a shadow as he shot through the door. Thereafter, the two leaders’ eyes widened in horror. Blood gushed from their throats as they fell. The remaining branch leader was shaken. She shuddered. Dustin’s subordinate had killed them as easily as breathing. The members of the Panther Gang who had been preparing to rush inside froze. They stood outside motionless. The members of the Langley family were shocked. The branch leader
Dustin had not said anything about the numerous Panther Gang corpses on the floor. No one had dared to clear them away. In the middle of all the mess was Devon’s headless body. When Blake recognized the corpse, his eyes widened in fury. He looked at Dustin without bothering to hide his desire for revenge. “Who are you? Where did you come from? Are you with the law or something else?” Blake did not make a move immediately. Instead, he demanded answers from Dustin. When he received the report from one of his branch leaders, he realized that Dustin was not someone to be messed with. That was why he was questioning Dustin first. Dustin looked at Blake, and his gaze froze the gang leader in place. “Back in the day, the Aquila family only started growing after participating in a campaign to destroy the Fox family of Grayvale. Did the Panther Gang have a hand in that campaign?” Dustin asked. His gaze was focused on Blake. If he admitted his involvement, he would be dead. “T
“The Panther Gang will serve the King of Hades!” Blake declared loudly as he knelt on the floor. The members of the Langley family and those of the Panther Gang stared in shock. A minute ago, Blake seemed very intimidating and intent on seeking justice. They were taken aback by his abrupt change in attitude. “The King of Hades… The master of Hell Hall! The King of Hades!” Margot gasped so hard she nearly fainted. The members of the Langley family were so terrified that their faces turned ghostly pale. There was no one on earth who did not fear the might of Hell Hall. Some of the people in the living room were shaking in fright. In the past, they all thought that Dustin was a nobody, so they treated him like trash. When they thought about how their family had tried to kill the King of Hades, the members of the Langley family felt horrified. Dustin glanced at the man kneeling on the floor, and his face looked taunting. “Your sister is the wife of the head of the A
“This is entirely the Langley family’s fault that we underestimated you! We were prideful and blind…” Margot said solemnly. “Please forgive us, My Liege!” At this point, Margot could do nothing but admit her mistakes. With a word, the King of Hades could wipe the Langley family from the face of the earth without so much as a noise. Dustin did not bother to respond. “Fine. Invite Simone and her family here immediately. I think you know what to do now, right?” he said coldly. “Yes, I do. I won’t let you down, My Liege!” Margot said quickly. She sent someone to invite Simone and her family here. Soon, Simone’s family arrived in the living room. They looked a little stunned. By that time, the members of the Panther Gang were all gone and the place had been cleaned up. It was as if nothing had happened here. “What happened to you?” Simone looked confused. She saw how strangely the members of the Langley family were behaving. “Uncle Derek, why are you trembling?” She
The Aquila family was one of the most powerful families of Lannopolis. At this moment, Brennan Aquila, the patriarch of the Aquila family was frowning and sitting in his usual seat. “Is there no news?” he asked the servant before him. “Sir, we’ve searched the entirety of Rivenesco, but we couldn’t locate Devon. We’ve also inquired with the Panther Gang and checked the Langley family’s main villa in Rivenesco, but we found nothing,” the servant said. When he heard that, Brennan looked even more troubled. His second son, Devon, had taken along some people from the Panther Gang to Rivenesco a few days ago. He had wanted to seek revenge but had then disappeared. “Investigate more! Use more drastic measures if you need to!” he shouted. “There’s no need to investigate any further,” said a woman’s voice from beyond the room. A beautiful, elegant young woman walked into the Aquila family’s living room. “Who are you?” Brennan asked. “Bianca Winter of the Seven Clans of
“What kind of disgraceful behavior is this, Irene?” the man asked with a frown. “Don’t forget that you will be a member of the Aquila family soon. How dare you act this way?” Irene looked at the man indifferently. Hatred flashed in her eyes for a second before it disappeared. “Oh, give up, Trevor Aquila. I will never marry you. I will never become a member of the Aquila family!” she hissed icily. “Your marriage is arranged by your family. With the way things are with the West family, do you really think you can refuse this arrangement? It’s better that you behave and come with me to the Aquila family and wait quietly for the wedding,” Trevor said with an icy smile. Irene’s pretty face grew livid with anger. “Get lost!” she shouted. Trevor was enraged by her words. “You want to do this the hard way, huh? Alright then. Drag her back home!” he ordered. “Do you think you can drag a woman away against her will in public?” One of the men in the bar immediately stepped forwa
Irene had assumed that Dustin would be like the other men. She thought he was only standing up for her because he was drawn by her beauty. She also assumed that he would get beaten up like the others. But she was wrong. Dustin had not intervened because he was drawn to her. He had killed Trevor. For a moment, everyone in the jazz club was stumped. No one dared to offend Trevor, who was the third son of the Aquila family of Lannopolis. Yet, Dustin had killed him in just one strike. He was unimaginably brash! Ignoring the shock of those around him, Dustin turned and walked toward the jazz club’s exit. He did not even spare Irene a glance. “Hold it right there!” “Do you think you can just leave after killing Trevor?” Trevor’s underlings could not just stand by and watch as Dustin left. They moved forward to stop him. Dustin did not waste his breath. His gaze turned sharp as he made a small movement. The person who had dared to stop him was dead. After that,
Zion, after bowing several times to Dustin, was waved off and dismissed. “It’s time for us to leave too,” Dustin said as he glanced at Allison and Shawna. “You can’t go!” Allison suddenly called out anxiously. Dustin looked at her in confusion. “If this is about me returning to the McCall family, you can forget it. I can’t leave right now,” he said as he politely refused. Allison froze for a moment before a look of melancholy appeared on her face. “What’s wrong with the McCall family?” she asked as she cast a sidelong glance at Shawna. Her displeasure was evident. Allison thought that Dustin was reluctant to return because he fancied this woman, whose beauty rivaled her own. It felt as though he was abandoning her for someone new. The way she looked at him… made him feel like he was so heartless. His face stiffened. He had not done anything, yet he was suddenly a villain in her mind. Allison had already decided Shawna was his new woman. “The McCall family is f
Pop… It was as if a barrier within Zion’s body had shattered. His pure energy surged freely through every part of his body and filled him with an overwhelming sense of strength. He felt like he could split mountains and tear through the earth with a single strike. Snapping back to awareness, he felt a fiery heat coursing through him. He let out a loud roar and thrust his palm against one of the thick stone pillars in the restaurant. A deep palm print appeared on the pillar. He had nearly punched through its massive structure… Staring at the mark he had left, Zion’s eyes widened in disbelief. With his previous prowess in the ninth grade, he could barely leave a faint impression on such a pillar, let alone something this profound. “This is…” Zion stammered as he tried to find his words. “What happened, Master Fox?” he finally asked as he snapped back to reality. Dustin smiled faintly. “I infused a trace of my pure energy into you. It helped to lift the obstruc
“Where is the baby girl now?!” Dustin’s eyes sharpened as his gaze locked on Zion. It was clear the baby Zion mentioned was none other than Dustin’s twin sister. She was the only surviving bloodline of the Fox family apart from himself. The mere mention of his sister was enough to stir a rare wave of emotion within him. “Master Fox, I discovered that twenty years ago, the baby girl that the Fox family smuggled out ended up in an orphanage on the outskirts of Grayvale. Around five years later, the orphanage shut down, and all the children were relocated. The girl was reportedly adopted by a couple who took her out of Honora. Unfortunately, her whereabouts now remain unclear,” Zion said in a steady voice. Dustin’s brows relaxed slightly. Learning that his sister might still be alive filled him with a surge of hope and excitement. He had to find her! She was his only family left in this world. “Continue the investigation. No matter what the cost or effort, find h
Dustin narrowed his eyes slightly as he processed the information. Initially, giving Zion the Martial League’s Gold Token had been more of an experiment. It had been a way to gauge his capability. To his surprise, Zion had not only proven capable but had uncovered significant leads. ‘It was no wonder my adoptive father insisted I gather enough strength before seeking vengeance. The eleven forces already identified are all formidable. Even among the Seven Clans of Central Harbor, three were involved. The most powerful figures at the very pinnacle of Lovellia hierarchy might struggle to make any significant headway,’ Dustin thought to himself. But he was the King of Hades and the master of Star Tower. He commanded two of the most elite forces in the world. He had no reason to fear anyone. “For now, this is everything I’ve uncovered about the forces behind the Fox family massacre,” Zion said earnestly. “If I weren’t facing interference, I’m confident I could dig up even m
Waylon and Kenneth’s frantic shouts fell on deaf ears. The martial artists from the Martial League branch acted decisively and dragged them off to the Martial League Penitentiary without entertaining any protests. If they were officially labeled as second-level offenders, the repercussions would ruin them, and their families’ reputations and influence would take a serious hit too. As the two were hauled out of the restaurant in cuffs, Shawna stood frozen and struggled to process what had just happened. She never imagined Dustin could wield this level of authority. Even the branch leader of Martial League was acting on his orders… The Martial League was the kind of organization that could effortlessly declare someone a second-level offender and detain them. They were undoubtedly among the most powerful figures at the very top of Grayvale’s hierarchy. What shook her more was Zion’s attitude. He was so respectful and submissive when addressing Dustin. “Dustin, why did
“My uncle is truly dependable,” Kenneth smiled in satisfaction as he stepped forward to greet the man who had just arrived and was catching his breath. “Mr. Larson, I’m Kenneth from the Dixon family,” he introduced himself. “I’m sure my uncle must have mentioned me to you?” He extended a hand to Zion confidently. With the branch leader of the Martial League showing up personally, there was nothing left to fear. “Who the hell are you?” Zion’s face darkened as he slapped Kenneth’s hand away. Kenneth froze. He was stunned. What was going on? Was Zion not here to back him up? “Get out of my way!” Zion barked impatiently before turning to Dustin with a respectful bow. “Master Fox, what are your orders?” His tone was respectful. Kenneth and Lucas stared at them with wide eyes. Was this really the branch leader of the Martial League? He treated a lowly security guard with such reverence… Was he in his right mind? Even Shawna and Allison were visibly surprise
Waylon was not going to accept this. With Allison stepping in to protect Dustin, there was no way someone of his status could speak up. However, Dustin had broken a few of his bones, and he could not let it go. His only option was to provoke Kenneth to step in. Kenneth furrowed his brow and looked at Allison, then at Dustin. He could not let this insult slide. “Allison, you’re going to protect this guy, huh? I won’t let that happen!” he said viciously. “If you want to take him away, fine! But you have to leave his left leg behind!” It was Dustin’s left foot that had stepped on them earlier. Allison’s face turned even colder at his words. “Kenneth, do you think you’re someone important? How powerful do you think your family is?” Allison asked. “Do you honestly think that the Dixon family can match the McCall family?” Kenneth’s face shifted, and his anger surged. “What if the branch leader of the Martial League in Grayvale gets involved? Do you think your McCa
Kenneth was shocked. In the elite circles of Grayvale’s upper class, everyone knew about Allison. Shawna’s gaze flickered with intrigue the moment her gaze landed on Allison. While both women were strikingly beautiful in their own right, the social divide between them was undeniable. Naturally, they were not in the same circle. “Allison, what brings you here?” Kenneth asked as his brows furrowed. Allison’s appearance anywhere was a rare event. “I’m here to find someone,” Allison said coldly. “Who?” Kenneth’s surprise was evident. Allison looking for someone? That was unheard of. “I’m here for him.” She pointed at Dustin. The group was stunned. This renowned beauty was famous both inside and outside Grayvale. She was sought after by countless young elites in Grayvale who would have given anything to win her favor. Yet, here she was, actively seeking out a man, and not just any man, but a lowly security guard! “Miss Allison, are you sure?” Kenneth’s disb
Waylon and Kenneth were nearly knocked unconscious under the crushing weight of Dustin’s foot. Blood spurted from their lips and their faces were pale as sheets. Shawna gasped at Dustin’s audacity. She had not expected him to go so far as to pin both of them beneath his foot. Waylon was the pampered heir of the Riley family, while Kenneth was the eldest son of the influential Dixon family. Offending either of them could only spell trouble for her. “Son of a b*tch! Do you want to die? You’re asking for it!” Kenneth roared in pain. “Mr. Dixon! Call your uncle! Get him to send someone here. Didn’t you say he knows the branch leader of the Martial League? Have the leader come here now!” Waylon shouted. “This guy doesn’t know his place! We have to teach him a lesson!” Dustin pressed down harder, and both men howled in pain. “Brat… I dare you to let me make a call!” Kenneth gritted his teeth. Dustin’s face remained cold, and his foot stayed firmly in place. The t
