Irene’s beauty and figure were absolutely flawless. She was the kind of woman none of these men had ever laid eyes on before. “Boys, tonight’s our lucky night!” the Crimson Gang members murmured in excitement. Their faces lit up with greedy anticipation. They did not care about Dustin or Irene. But they failed to notice the calm demeanor of the two sitting on the couch. Neither of them showed the slightest sign of fear. They were unnervingly composed. Dustin sat back and watched the unfolding scene with an air of detached amusement. “All right! No need to wait any longer. Let’s get this done,” said Aaron as he waved a hand dismissively. “Remember,” Pete said with a sinister grin, “cripple him, don’t kill him. Got it?” “Got it!” the men responded. Their malicious laughter filled the room as they approached Dustin. Dustin chuckled. The moment they got close, he sprang into action. In an instant, his energy surged and filled the room with an almost palpable force. Few p
Dustin held the final bullet delicately between his fingers. His eyes shone with a mocking glint as he gazed at the three trembling people before him. “So,” he said in a calm and icy voice, “who do you think deserves this one?” The three of them were paralyzed with fear. They trembled like leaves in the wind. Dustin casually pointed his finger toward Phoebe. She immediately fell to the floor. “It’s him! He’s the one who planned it all! I was just manipulated into following along!” Phoebe screamed and pointed an accusing finger at Aaron. “You—!” Aaron’s eyes widened in rage and disbelief. “It was her! It was all her idea! She planned everything!” he screeched. The two began to hurl insults at one another. In moments of life and death, human nature revealed itself. By the looks of it, it was nothing but a vicious display of mutual betrayal. Dustin shifted his aim toward Pete. Overwhelmed by terror, the man immediately dropped to his knees and bowed before Dustin. “
The leader of the Panther Gang was an individual of fearsome standing and influence… Yet he had arrived at a single phone call from Dustin. The implications of this were far too terrifying. “Mr. Fox, what are your orders for me?” asked Blake as he bowed respectfully. This scene left the three people frozen in shock. Their hearts pounded in their chests. Who was this man? What kind of person could command such respect from someone like the leader of the Panther Gang? Even a fool could see that Dustin was someone to be feared. Aaron and Phoebe almost passed out from sheer terror, especially Phoebe. She could not wrap her head around how Irene had found herself a date like him. First, he demonstrated world-class dance skills. Then, he casually pulled out a Verdigris Emerald the size of a goose egg. Next thing you know, with a single phone call, he had summoned the leader of the Panther Gang to act at his command… Did someone like this even exist in Lannopolis? “Bla
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. It was the last day of the deadline Dustin had given Bianca. “My Liege, we have located your father’s remains,” said a Hell Guard in the West family villa. “Take me there.” Dustin immediately moved out after receiving the news. Half an hour later, he met with a disheveled old man. “Back in the day, when the Fox family was destroyed, your adoptive father arrived too late. He was the one who collected your father’s body and buried it. He buried the remains somewhere no one could find. He found someone and paid him handsomely to keep vigil at your father’s grave… ” said the Hell Guard slowly. “However, after the patriarch of the Wyatt family passed, no one went to maintain the grave plot. The gravekeeper also started to stray from his post. Weeds grew rampant around the grave. Not long ago, Bianca Winter visited the gravekeeper and bought him off. The gravekeeper exhumed your father’s remains and gave his skull to her. The rest of
Dustin got up from the chair. His gaze was icy. Bianca’s face darkened. She was displeased. “Don’t you know the trouble you’re in? You really want to die?” she asked icily. Then, she looked at one of her underlings. “Go. Beat some sense into him.” The fighter then walked toward Dustin and was ready to make his move. Dustin impatiently waved his hand. The fighter clutched his neck, which was suddenly bleeding, and he collapsed on the floor. Bianca’s face turned as white as a sheet. “That’s impossible! How can you still kill?” Her eyes widened in shock. Logically, a fighter poisoned with the Decina Neutralizing Fragrance would not even have the strength to move, let alone kill. Besides, the Winter family’s fighter that she had sent to attack Dustin was not weak. He was a seventh grade fighter. Yet, Dustin had killed him with just one move. It looked like it had not even taken much effort. Bianca could not understand how Dustin had done it. “Could it be… you
When Dustin looked at the person, his gaze grew serious. “Irene!” His eyes narrowed. The person Bianca had brought here was Irene West. She was tightly bound in thick ropes, and two people held knives to her throat. They forced her to move forward. Irene was bruised all over. It was clear that she had been manhandled. “Dustin, I’m sorry. I drove to the school this morning to collect some documents, and they got me halfway there…” Irene said guiltily. She thought that she had got Dustin into trouble by getting herself caught. Dustin’s face darkened. He had never expected Bianca to make a move against Irene. After all, he was not really very close to Irene. If Bianca wanted to blackmail him, she should have abducted a member of the Langley family. However, Dustin had already arranged for his Hell Guards to protect the Langley family. There was no way Bianca could have succeeded in getting one of them. “What’s the point of this?” Dustin asked with a fr
Irene’s body went limp, and Dustin caught her. He loosened her bindings. Looking at the vicious cut on Irene’s face, Dustin’s heart ached. If he was right, Irene’s face was ruined forever. For a beautiful woman, it took great courage and determination to go as far as to disfigure herself… But to avoid being a burden on him, Irene had made that choice without hesitation. She had been willing to die. Dustin did not know why she would do something like that. Was she that loyal because she was from the West family? Or was it because she was grateful that Dustin had helped her in her time of need? Whatever the reason, Dustin was moved by her actions. “Why are you so foolish?” Dustin asked as he held her. “Because… I didn’t want to burden you…” Irene said weakly. Dustin was speechless. Beside them, Bianca’s expression shifted several times before she gathered herself and took a few steps back. She quietly sneaked out of the house. She no longer had any trump card
Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared before Bianca’s eyes. In the next moment, Bianca felt her world spin, and everything turned black. With a thud, her head rolled on the ground. The last thing Bianca saw before she died was the retreating silhouette of a Hell Guard as he sheathed his knife. She never imagined that she would lose her life while seeking revenge for her cousins. Dustin returned to the small house. Irene was quietly waiting in the chair he had left her. “You’re back…” Irene smiled when she saw Dustin. Her voice was gentle. Dustin leaned down and caressed her face. “Don’t worry. Give me three days, and I’ll make sure your face heals perfectly,” he said reassuringly. “I believe you,” said Irene with a smile. Dustin had managed to bring her grandfather back to life. How hard would it be to get rid of a scar? “I’m sorry. You wouldn’t have gone through all this if it weren’t for me,” Dustin said apologetically. After all, it was his ov
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
