Frost swung his arm down. Bang! The sniper fired. The huge bullet shot forward like a cannonball and went straight for Dustin’s car. Bang! The car immediately exploded, and the flames shot into the sky. “No one can possibly survive that blast. Even sovereign grade fighters will be burnt to a crisp!” Frost watched through his binoculars and muttered to himself. “These days, who even bothers to fight hand-to-hand, anyway? Times have changed,” said the sniper with a grin and got up. “Let’s go get our money, guys,” Frost said with a smile. After packing up, they got ready to leave. Suddenly, alarm bells rang in Frost’s mind. He felt as if a predator had fixed its eyes on him. Immediately, he looked northwest, and his eyes widened. His other teammates looked over as well, and their faces changed. Was he not the target? Why was he not dead?! Dustin and his Hell Guard stood across from them with indifferent faces. They sized them up. “When have the assassins from
“Who sent you to kill me?” asked Dustin as he stared at Frost icily. “The first rule of the assassin’s code states that if we’re paid to get rid of a problem for a client, we are not to spill any information about them. Those who break the code will be killed!” Frost shot back grimly. “Very well, then.” Dustin nodded. “I never like to force people, but…” He looked behind him with a fierce gaze. “Myst?” Dustin called out. “Right here!” said a voice from behind. It was sonorous and vibrant. Then, a person arrived before them like a shadow. She wore black tights that showed off her stunning figure. She also had a beautiful face. “Kill them all,” Dustin said. Myst moved in a beautiful arc in the air. Her face was as cold as ice and as murderous as the Ripper when she landed. She moved so quickly that no one else but Frost had the time to react to her movements. When she attacked, another life was snuffed out. Myst used two short knives that were both as elegant as
Dustin raised his hand, and Myst stopped. Otherwise, Frost would have been killed too. “It’s them again, huh?” Dustin chuckled. Elisa and Jaxon had suffered a setback in the black market, which led to the Chandler family’s businesses in the black market getting ruined. Was that why they grew resentful of him and hired assassins to kill him? “They didn’t just hire me. They also set up a bounty on your head in the black market. The reward is twenty million,” Frost said angrily. How many assassins had come after Dustin because of this? They were just sending these people to their deaths! Frost’s heart burned with rage. If he managed to survive, he was definitely going to make Jaxon pay. Dustin saw the resentment in his eyes, and he smiled. “I’ll spare you this time. Deal with whoever set you up yourself,” he said indifferently. Frost was stunned. He was not expecting to walk out of this alive. In the past, all those who got on Dustin’s bad side ended up dead. “But
Elisa was at the Chandler family villa in Lannopolis. She was in the garden. She asked Jaxon eagerly, “Well? Do you have any good news?” Using his laptop, Jaxon searched through the news on the black market’s official website. He looked sullen. “Many assassins accepted the bounty, but no one has succeeded just yet,” Jaxon said with a frown. Chaos had stirred nonstop in the black market lately, and reports of the deaths of many well-known assassins were circulating. “All these silver and gold ranked assassins are trash! Is Dustin really that hard to kill?!” Elisa snapped. Jaxon raised his eyebrows and sighed. Even if he explained everything in detail to Elisa, it would just fly over her head because she did not understand the world of martial artists and the underground, despite her constant arrogance about her influence in the underground. “Didn’t you hire an ace assassin? Can he do it? If he can’t, let’s just hire someone else,” Elisa said impatiently. “I contacted t
“You want a head? Sure. I have two right here for you.” Frost closed in on the both of them with burning, murderous rage. “Frost, calm down! You assassins risk your necks for money, don’t you? Regardless of whether you completed the mission or not, I’ll pay you fifty million—No! Sixty million!” Jaxon said hurriedly while he pulled Elisa back. “Why are you giving him so much money? He’s not getting a penny without showing us Dustin’s head!” Elisa said in displeasure. Jaxon’s face darkened. At this moment, he really wanted to kill Elisa. She was so frustratingly stupid. They were in danger. Why was she still acting like a prideful jerk? “Money is no longer important,” said Frost and snorted. “You asked me to kill the Wyatt family outcast and said that he’s just an ordinary man.” Then, his voice grew mocking. He also sounded regretful in the next instant. “Ordinary, you say? You sent us all to die! “How could you ask us to kill someone like that?! Do you think you’re invin
Soon, Frost caught up to Elisa, who trembled in fear. “Die, you b*tch!” Frost jumped into the air and showed no mercy to Elisa, even though she was a woman. He only wanted to kill her. During that critical moment, the wind howled, and a man in green instantly showed up in front of Elisa. He threw two darts forward that drew a silver arc in the air. Frost’s face changed while he was airborne. If he continued falling forward, those two darts would hit him. So, he twisted midway and landed on the ground. But the darts moved like they had navigation systems installed in them. They turned in midair and went straight for the back of Frost’s head. In shock, Frost used his knife to cut them down. Clang! Sparks flew, and the darts fell. With the knife in hand, Frost moved back. His heart raced in fear. The blade of his knife was chipped, and his hand tore from the force of the parry. But the man in green had not even broken a sweat throwing his darts. “Who are you?”
Unfortunately, he still had yet to find the final ingredient for the antidote. Dustin had already sent all of Hell Hall to look for the ingredient, but it was just too rare and difficult to find. Irene seemed to have finally realized that she was poisoned, but she pretended to be unbothered by it and comforted Dustin instead, which made him feel even more guilty. Whoosh! While they were walking, someone suddenly dropped down. “Myst? Why are you here?” Dustin pulled a long face. Among all the members of Hell Hall, Myst had the least regard for the rules. Myst stared at Irene with resentment burning in her eyes. Dustin immediately pulled Irene behind him, with his face darkening. “Myst, don’t be rude!” he barked. Considering Myst’s personality, she was capable of doing just about every wild thing possible, so Dustin had to impose a lot of extra rules on her. Myst restrained herself a bit, but the resentment in her eyes grew. “You got yourself a woman behind our ba
At the center of the business district in Lannopolis was a shopping mall. But it was not open for business today. Even so, the lights were still on. It was 8 p.m. Cars continued coming in and parked themselves in the underground parking lot. The people who came out of the cars were all leaders of Lannopolis underground society. Many were so formidable that their names alone could strike fear in others. Because of the summons, they had come here. The Chandler family was the strongest family in Lannopolis, and their name carried a lot of weight. The Lotus Sect was also like a sleeping giant, and no one dared to disrespect them. Dustin was among them. No one recognized him. Myst was right beside him. Her alluring figure and pretty face attracted quite a number of lewd gazes. As the powerful leaders of the gangs in Lannopolis arrived, the ones who knew each other gathered closer to talk. No one knew what the Chandler family and the Lotus Sect were planning, but they all
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
