Right after, Zion lost his balance. He hurled through the air and slammed against a wall, which left a deep crater. Everyone in the room gasped. Zion was the branch leader of the Martial League of Grayvale and a powerful ninth grade fighter. How could he be beaten with just one strike? What kind of monster was Dustin? Ignatius’s eyes widened. His breathing stilled. How could Zion be beaten? What kind of power did Dustin have? Ignatius trembled in fear. No one here could protect him. Zion clutched his chest as he coughed. His eyes were filled with terror. He looked like he had just seen a ghost. Dustin had the kind of skills that were almost legendary in nature. He was simply too powerful to fathom. The dreadful suspicion Zion had dared not voice was finally confirmed. “You are… a sovereign grade fighter! A one-in-a-million Martial Saint!” he cried in shock. At this, the whole place turned silent. “A-A Martial Saint…” someone said in a trembling voice
A long time had passed. There was nobody alive in the Harmon family anymore. All the Harmon family members’ heads were neatly placed on the ground in the courtyard. The scene was horrific and gruesome. Only a few members of the Martial League, including Zion, were still there. Zion was completely dumbfounded. The Harmon family had been massacred in front of him, but he was unable to stop it. Perhaps he would have to pack up and head back to the countryside to retire. Dustin went to the courtyard of the Harmon family villa. He then bowed and muttered a prayer. “Grandpa, I’ve avenged you!” Dustin said with teary eyes. “The patriarch of the Harmon family beheaded you. I beheaded his whole family in your memory!” Dustin muttered another prayer. “Mom, Dad, and the Fox family members who died unjustly, I’ll avenge your death one by one! The murderers who took your lives away will face complete ruin and destruction so that you can rest in peace! If I fail to avenge yo
Dustin’s face turned cold with anger. His killing intent turned Zion quiet. “Yes. It’s true that I wanted to investigate the case of the Fox family, but it’s impossible to investigate that case. I’m just a branch leader in Grayvale. Even if you get the regional leader of the West to come and investigate, he can’t do anything!”“If I ask you to investigate, it’s not just empty words,” said Dustin indifferently.Thud! He threw something in front of Zion.Zion looked at it and was stunned. It was a token that seemed to be a bit worn out. He frowned, picked the token up, and looked at it. After he saw the engraving “Supreme” on the token and the dragon logo below it, he was shocked. His eyes widened. His hands shook so much that he almost dropped the token. “It’s…the Martial League’s Supreme Token!” Zion exclaimed in disbelief. He held the token and looked at it to make sure that he was not just seeing things. A wave of shock surged within him. The Martial League’s Sup
At the security booth in front of Creative Arts Corporation.“What did you say?”Shawna and a few employees of Creative Arts Corporation looked at Dustin in shock, who was in the security guard uniform. “You convinced the Harmon family to drop all claims against us?” Shawna’s eyes widened in disbelief. Yesterday, Dustin had not listened to them and went to the Harmon family villa. They thought he was going to get injured, and they had thoughtfully called an ambulance for him.But later, the Harmon family villa was closed off. The ambulance was unable to go near it. This made Shawna and the others very worried. They thought that Dustin would not return. Shawna had already prepared for his funeral. Unexpectedly, Dustin came to work on time this morning, and he told everyone that the contractual compensation was already resolved. He also told them that the Harmon family would not look into it anymore.They found that hard to believe. Shawna understood the Harmon family ver
Was this guy Superman? Waylon was terrified. In his entire life, he had never witnessed someone being able to stop a car! Even the front hood was dented. The engine’s roar slowly died down. “Waylon Riley!” Shawna’s face turned pale with fear as she ran out in her high heels. She was afraid that Waylon might kill Dustin.Dustin finally let go, and the car stopped. Waylon snapped out of his daze. He restlessly opened the car door and got out. “Dustin, are you all right?” Shawna pulled Dustin away and looked him up and down with deep concern. “I’m fine,” said Dustin and smiled. Shawna signed in relief. “Waylon Riley, you’re out of control! If you hit him, you won’t escape the law!” she yelled at Waylon angrily.“Hmph! It’s not your place to lecture me!” Waylon said coldly as his face darkened. His fear disappeared, and he became haughty again. “Shawna, who gave you the guts to allow a security guard to offend me? Don’t forget that this is the Riley family’s compa
“You… you…” Waylon pointed at the two of them, but he dared not curse again under Dustin’s glare. “Waylon, what do you want? Just say it!” Shawna said coldly. Waylon’s face changed drastically. “I came here to inform you that…” He suddenly sneered as if he was happy about her misfortune. “You and your mother, Shawna. You must show up at the Riley family villa before 5 p.m. today.“Today, the Finn family will arrive with extravagant gifts to propose marriage. “The family patriarch says that if you two don’t show up, you’ll lose everything you have now!”When Waylon said that, Shawna’s face darkened. “Marriage?” Dustin frowned. How cliche! Another family that was forcing an old-fashioned arranged marriage yet again. Then again, with Shawna’s stunning beauty, it was not surprising for her to be caught in the web of arranged marriages tied to family interests. ‘Since Shawna took good care of Mrs. Swift, I should return the favor. I can’t let the Riley family manipulat
The Riley family villa in Grayvale was all lit up and busy. It looked like a big wedding was about to be held there. “Quick, the Finn family is coming! We must get everything ready before they arrive!” The core members of the Riley family were busy ordering the servants to get everything ready. Everyone was smiling. The Finn family was a huge family in Grayvale. They were far superior to the Riley family. To establish ties with the Finn family was an opportunity the Riley family could only dream of. The patriarch of the Finn family, Archie Finn, wanted to remarry. He had fallen for Shawna’s mother a long time ago. After everything was discussed, he officially came to propose marriage today.Clayton Riley, the patriarch of the Riley family, sat in the main hall with a grin as he watched everyone being busy. He gave his order from time to time. Having the patriarch of a prestigious, first-class family as his son-in-law made him feel immensely proud. Not just that, the dwindl
Waylon stood behind Clayton. After he saw them coming, his face turned stormy. Thoughts spun in his mind, and he was plotting his own schemes.“Mom, how can you…” Shawna held Maisie’s hand, and tears streamed down her face. “Shawna, I’d do anything for you,” Maisie said with affection. Shawna felt even sadder. She collapsed in Maisie’s arms and sobbed uncontrollably. Clayton and the other people’s faces darkened. “Oh, Shawna is here. Come, this is for you!” said Archie and smiled. He handed a present to Shawna, but his lecherous gaze roamed shamelessly over the mother and daughter’s graceful figures. How stunning the mother and daughter were… He seemed to be plotting what he would do to them after they got married. “I don’t want your present!” Shawna flung the present in disgust. Archie’s face darkened. “How dare you?!” A member of the Riley family was the first to speak and yell at Shawna.“Shawna, have you forgotten who you are? Apologize to Archie now!” Clayton
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
