Timothy looked intimidating and authoritative as he said that. It made Elisa admire him even more. There were only a few people who had the power to order a national hero around. Victor was livid. It was not enough that this young man was being rude and ordering him about. But he was expected to hunt Dustin down as well. Timothy wanted him to arrest Dustin? What a joke! He wanted to live for a while longer than that. “I apologize, but If it’s a matter of arresting him, I think you should get someone else to do it, Sir,” Victor said with a sour face. “How dare you disobey me when I have the Martial League’s Gold Token, Victor Cain?” Timothy shouted. He was incensed that he was being defied and humiliated. “No one in the Martial League would dare to disobey such an order,” Victor said with a sigh. “However, I’ve already resigned from the Martial League. Now, I’m just an old man who whiles away his days at home. Even if I wanted to, I am unable to do this for the Ma
After leaving the Cain family villa, Timothy slammed his hand on a stone sculpture at the entrance. The sculpture that weighed a ton shattered. “F*ck him! I think he is intentionally disobeying me!” he said angrily. “I think so, too. Dustin’s not a threat. Victor is a legendary sovereign grade fighter, so there’s no way he’d be that afraid to arrest Dustin. Victor is just unhappy about being forced to listen to you!” Elisa said with a huff. “Before you came here, he was the most powerful person in Lannopolis. Even the higher-ups of the Martial League had to respect him. He must be displeased that you came here with the Martial League’s Gold Token to give him orders. That’s why he’s threatening to leave the Martial League.” Timothy was even more incensed when he heard that. He huffed. “F*ck him! Once I settle everything here, I’ll make sure he pays for this!” he said darkly. “Let’s go. We’re going to the local branch of the Martial League. I’m determined to try Dustin t
“The Martial League Overseer has sent out a second level warrant for the criminal Dustin Fox. You must come to the branch headquarters of the Martial League immediately for trial!” one of them held out a warrant and said sharply. Everyone in the West family paled. The warrant issued by the Martial League was very powerful. Most people did not dare defy it. Those who obstructed the order would be sentenced for the same crime. “Who is Dustin Fox? Come out now and be arrested!” the leader of the group yelled. Dustin walked out with a cold expression. Irene had just been laid to bed, but these people were out here making such a commotion. He was annoyed. “You’re Dustin Fox? The Martial League Overseer has issued a second level warrant for your arrest. You must follow me to the trial now!” came another shout. Dustin calmly looked at the Hell Guard next to him. There was a whoosh, and the Hell Guard had already sent the leader of the group sprawling to the floor with a
“How dare Dustin kill the members of the Martial League! He even dared to resist the order of a prime level warrant of arrest and destroy the Dragon Pendant of the Bones family!” Several people who had been called to the headquarters were greatly agitated and shocked by the news. “This is blatant disrespect toward Mr. Bones. How can he be so arrogant? What gives him such confidence?” they whispered. Timothy’s rage was growing uncontrollably. “He wants to die! He’s going to die ten times over!” Timothy said viciously. “Mr. Snow, gather all the best fighters of the branch headquarters immediately. They will follow me to the West family villa. I will personally capture the criminal Dustin Fox!” said Timothy with gritted teeth. Soon, the arrangements for the men were made, and they formed a huge troop as they marched to the West family villa. Outside the West family villa, Timothy waved a hand. “Surround the property. Make sure he can’t escape!” The elite fighters o
Hell Hall’s information network was a sophisticated and widespread one. How was it that it was unable to find more information about such an insignificant family on the outskirts of Lannopolis? This meant that the Sorensen family was hiding something. They were not as small and insignificant as they seemed. “No matter what, I will get my hands on the 200-year-old Solomon’s Seal!” Dustin said solemnly. Soon, the car came to a stop. “My Liege, we have arrived at the Sorensen family villa,” someone said from outside the car. Dustin got out of the car. The villa was quite old. Dustin could tell that it had been here for at least a few hundred years. The front gate was not very big. There was a sign which indicated that this was the Sorensen family villa. Dustin regarded the villa carefully. He looked a little shocked. He had a feeling that the Sorensen family was unusual. Dustin indicated for the Hell Guard to step forward and ring the bell. It would be ideal
The whole place fell silent for a long while. Who would have thought that such a fragile-looking old man would be so startlingly powerful? The elite fighters of the Martial League were flabbergasted by the sight. Even Timothy and Elisa were stunned. “Who… Who are you?” Timothy asked fearfully. He was a ninth grade fighter. Someone who could achieve that level of skill at his age was undoubtedly a prodigy. Also, he was a member of the Bones family, so he was much more discerning than most people. However, he had been shocked to the core when the old man had made his move. A thought popped into Timothy’s mind. The old man was surely a sovereign grade fighter. Not only that, but the old man also had to be one of the strongest fighters among sovereign grade fighters. If he were not, he would not have such powerful pure energy. This made Timothy wary. He could be as arrogant as he wanted with Victor because Victor was a sovereign grade fighter who used to work
Dustin frowned when he heard that. “What? You’re not selling it? Are you worried I won’t be able to afford it?” Timothy’s face darkened. “Sir, the man before you is a criminal guilty of the most heinous crimes. Meanwhile, this gentleman is an accomplished young man from a respected family with great position and power. I think you surely know who you should sell it to, right?” Elisa said meaningfully. Howard shot her an icy glance. “The Sorensen family has never much cared for background or power, only the measure of a man.” Howard did not give in. Elisa was so mad that she was heaving. “If you want an old ingredient of the Sorensen family, then you must be able to pass the Sorensen family’s challenge to get it,” Howard said slowly. “What kind of challenge?” Both Dustin and Timothy asked at the same time. “Come with me.” Howard walked into the Sorensen family villa’s grounds, and Dustin quickly followed him. “Stand guard at all points outside. Don’t let Fox e
How was it that this pathway could only be walked by sovereign grade fighters? Timothy and Elisa were distraught. Timothy had always been considered a prodigy and praised for his achievements. He was stricken by the fact that he did not meet the minimum requirement for this test. “If Timothy can’t try, how can Dustin? What’s going on? Don’t tell me he’s a sovereign grade fighter!” Elisa said angrily. The moment Elisa said that, Timothy froze. Elisa herself went stiff after she realized what she had said. They looked at Dustin in disbelief. Could it be that Dustin was a sovereign grade fighter? Elisa did not have a good idea of the grades in the martial world. All she knew was that a sovereign grade fighter was very powerful. Even though she had seen Dustin fight many times, she never thought that he might be that powerful. Since most people who fought Dustin were taken down in just one strike, Elisa could never really tell how strong Dustin was. It was only at
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
