At this moment, Mark was very far behind Dustin. “D*mn it! Do they have wheels for legs or what?!” Mark had to run at full speed to catch up to them, and he was livid. What he did not know was that Dustin was actually limiting his speed. As he continued chasing after Dustin, he found that his stamina had run out. He had spent his pure energy far too quickly. Mark could not understand it. He knew that Metal Mask was strong based on the aura he released, so it only made sense that he could not catch up to him, but Dustin was young. He should have already reached his limit after reaching the sovereign grade. How could he have that much pure energy? Just when Mark was beginning to doubt his abilities, he discovered to his joy that Dustin had slowed down drastically. “You finally used up your pure energy, didn’t you?” Mark sneered. Meanwhile, Dustin frowned. He noticed that since Metal Mask found out that he could not shake him off, he had slowed down. As for Mark, when he
Dustin felt nothing from killing Mark. He did not even spare his corpse another glance and just continued chasing after Metal Mask. After some time, someone came running over. It was Timothy, and he was gasping for air. He was just a ninth grade fighter, and he was gravely injured. He could not hope to catch up with any of them. But he still followed Mark because he wanted to see his uncle kill Dustin. If Mark had managed to kill Dustin, it would not just avenge Timothy but would also have completed the mission from the Martial League. Once he took a photo and grabbed Dustin’s severed head, Elisa would admire him even more. He could also report back to the headquarters in Central Harbor. All he had to do next was wait for his reward. From the distance, Timothy saw signs of fighting in the area ahead. His face lit up in joy. Then, he ran a little faster. “Uncle Mark!” he cried out and ran over to the hole eagerly. He saw Mark inside the hole. He had been flattened in
Dustin’s momentum was so great that Metal Mask was shocked, and his face turned grim. He had experienced Dustin’s power first-hand, so he did not dare underestimate him. He did not parry that attack. He only mobilized his pure energy to increase his speed. Even so, he was barely able to dodge it. Very calmly, Dustin threw another punch. Metal Mask’s face changed this time. This punch was even stronger and more formidable. Dustin could summon more power. Was there no limit to his strength? This punch contained great power and steady force. It was also faster than before. Metal Mask was unable to dodge it. Bam! In a moment of desperation, he brought his hands up to block it, but he was still pushed back and only stopped when he was more than thirty feet away. His feet left behind deep trenches on the ground. Blood trickled out of his mouth. The punch dealt another blow to his already injured body. “Dustin, you’re a terrifying monster,” he said softly after regai
Dustin moved in a flash. His speed was so fast that the naked eye could barely keep up. This was his full speed when dodging. This was the limit of his physical ability when it came to evasion. The bullet brushed past his skull. Bang! It hit the thick tree behind him. The truck of the tree was so thick that even two people could barely encircle in. The moment the bullet hit it, it exploded into a million pieces. That alone showed the power that far surpassed a normal bullet. Dustin was surprised. Metal Mask was even more surprised than he was. “You managed to dodge it?” Clearly, he could not believe it. If he was not expecting it, he himself would not have been able to dodge the bullet. With a fierce look, Metal Mask pointed the gun at Dustin again and pulled the trigger. But Dustin was ready for it. He moved in a flash, and Metal Mask was unable to aim at him properly. In an instant, Dustin arrived in front of Metal Mask. A cold light glinted, and in the blin
Dustin was genuinely surprised. Star Tower was no mere third ranked organization. Lovellia controlled a huge territory, and within it, all sorts of organizations, families, gangs, groups, clans, and others. Based on the overall strength of each organization, these groups could be classified as such: unranked, fourth ranked, third ranked, second ranked, first ranked, and top ranked. Rivenesco was not a large city. While the Wyatt family and the Zimmer family were the strongest families in Rivenesco, they were really just third ranked families. On another note, first ranked organizations were incredible. Lovellia’s huge clans and families all had great power and authority, and they were classified as first ranked organizations. Meanwhile, top ranked organizations were so few that they could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Any of the top ranked organizations was beyond the scope of mere power or influence of normal organizations. They usually commanded extraordinary
Victor was a smart man with great influence in Lannopolis. Winning him over would do Dustin no harm. Victor was delighted. “Thank you, Master Dustin!” he said gratefully. Dustin waved him off, and Victor left with a smile. “Dustin!” At that moment, someone shouted furiously. It was Timothy. He walked in with Mark’s body. His face shone with anger. “Did you kill my uncle?” he demanded. Dustin shot him a cold look. “I did,” he said indifferently. “He shouldn’t have stood in my way. Since he did, and he was so arrogant about it, it was annoying, so I killed him,” Dustin said as if he had done nothing special. “You…” Timothy was livid. His face turned savage. He had refused to believe that Dustin had killed Mark, and he had come here to demand an answer despite his doubts. Since he had gotten his answer, it enraged him. He wanted to kill Dustin, but Dustin had managed to kill one of the strongest of the Bones family. Timothy was just a ninth grade fighter. How c
In an inconspicuous alley in Lannopolis’s downtown area, Elisa and Jaxon walked. The end of the alley was in sight, and they continued forward. “The entrance to the black market of Lannopolis is right this way.” Jaxon was Elisa’s guide as he pointed at the wall in front of them. When they approached it, Jaxon brought out a black card and swiped it at the wall. It let out a beep. “Permission to enter.” The wall parted to show a door. When they went in, they saw a different world. The black market was just as lively as the downtown area. “Black markets exist in every major city, and all sorts of people and organizations are gathered here, be they from the underground world or from the lawful society. The rules here are different from the outside world. It’s a mix of light and darkness,” said Jaxon as they continued walking. “Over here, you can find all sorts of things that are banned by law in the outside world. There aren’t any limitations here, so you can say it’s a place
“Listen up! Beat him up really good!” Elisa said. She knew that Dustin was a great fighter, and she also knew that these guards could not possibly defeat him. But that was fine. She wanted to force Dustin’s hand, and it would be great if someone died because the consequences of someone being murdered in the black market for no reason were dire. That meant that the murderer had broken the terrifying organization’s rule, and it would be impossible for them to survive. The guards heard Elisa and grew brutal. The others picked up weapons and rushed toward Dustin. Jaxon might have told them to kick him out, but they were going to cut him up real good before that. Dustin stood motionless with a steely face. He did not need to do anything against these ants. Whoosh! The Hell Guard who had been waiting for his orders in the dark showed up. After just sweeping past the guards once, they fell to the floor, and none of them were able to get up again. Jaxon’s face turned dark.
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
