Dustin’s skills amazed everyone in the hall. A Legendary Martial Saint in his early twenties was explosive news anywhere in Lovellia. “What? A Legendary Martial Saint?” Just as Allison entered the hall, she happened to see Dustin severely injure the ninth grade middle-aged martial artist. Her eyes instantly lit up. Upon hearing the elder’s shocked cry, her mouth slightly parted in disbelief. The McCall family was a low-profile martial arts family. She was a martial artist herself, and with exceptional talent, she had already reached the seventh grade. This placed her among the top young talents in Lovellia. But she was instantly overshadowed when compared to this man. Allison found it hard to believe that someone almost the same age as her had reached the Legendary Martial Saint level. She could not help but grow more curious about Dustin. ‘I knew it. He must be someone extraordinary,’ Allison thought. She felt glad that she had invited him in. “Sir, may I
“Allow me to introduce Dr. Fustin Dox,” Allison said quickly. “Never heard of him. Is he famous?” Gareth said dismissively. He barely spared Dustin a glance as he sipped his tea. Arthur, who was seated nearby, leaned toward Allison and said in a low voice, “Allison, Mr. Graves is a living legend in medicine. He’s practically a national treasure. How could you seat a complete nobody beside him? Aren’t you worried about offending him?” “But that young man isn’t ordinary…” Allison hesitated. “Not ordinary? Compared to Mr. Graves? Nonsense! Not just anyone deserves to sit with him,” Arthur said coldly as his face darkened. Allison felt trapped. Her mind raced for a solution. She resolved to ask Dustin if he would mind moving to allow Gareth his rightful place of honor. Just as she was about to speak, Dustin’s voice rang out unexpectedly. “Who is this ‘Mr. Graves’? Sounds like an inflated title. Is he even a big deal?” His words stunned everyone into silence. Allis
“Guards! Arrest him and take him to the West Prison!” With a brisk command from Arthur, armored soldiers stormed into the McCall family villa. His fury burned bright. Punishing Dustin was the only thing that could quell it. “Mr. Arthur,” Allison said hastily in a pleading voice. “Would you grant our family some leniency and set this matter aside for now? My grandfather is gravely ill, and without treatment, he might not survive…” Reluctantly, Arthur relented. “Fine. But once Mr. Graves cures your grandfather, he’s a dead man.” He shot Dustin a venomous glare, and his voice dripped with menace. Dustin did not even flinch. “Please, follow me.” Allison led the group toward her grandfather’s room. The atmosphere inside was heavy with despair. Jonathan lay motionless on the bed. He was barely clinging to life. His breaths were faint and labored. Anyone could see he was days, if not hours, from the brink of death. It was no wonder Allison had risked her future in d
Vienlock Toxin was a truly cruel poison. It left the victim conscious and forced them to slowly experience their demise. It was a fate far crueler than an instant death. “It’s a rare poison crafted by the Five Venoms Sect. It’s seldom used. It has only been used twice in history,” Dustin said in a calm but sharp voice. “The Five Venoms Sect?” Gasps filled the room as faces paled. “But didn’t they get wiped out years ago?” Once a notorious cult of evil, the Five Venoms Sect had been eradicated by the Martial League. Gareth furrowed his brow skeptically. He looked visibly unconvinced. “The Five Venoms Sect has been gone for decades. You can say whatever you like. If you’re so capable, then save Mr. McCall first. Words mean nothing.” “Mr. Dox, please,” Allison said pleadingly. Her voice cracked in desperation. Her tear-filled eyes searched for hope. “Save my grandfather… I’ll do anything you want!” Dustin cast a scornful glance at Gareth before stepping toward the
Dustin and the heirs of various noble families, along with the famous physicians, all sat in the main hall of the McCall family villa and enjoyed their tea. Logically, since Jonathan had been cured, they should have taken their leave. However, they remained to simply watch the unfolding drama. Arthur had been humiliated, and he would not let this go so easily. Dustin enjoyed his tea leisurely in the main seat, while Arthur glared at him as if he was ready to devour him. The mere thought of Allison being with Dustin fueled his anger. “Apologies for the wait, everyone! I’m grateful to all of you for coming to the McCall family villa to treat my grandfather,” Allison said as she entered and thanked the crowd. She maintained her grace and smiled politely even though the so-called renowned physicians had been of no use. “Dinner is ready. Please, follow me to the dining hall.” Arthur stood up with a cold face. “There’s no need for dinner,” he said coldly. “Allison, I ask
Before his words had even fully escaped his lips, he had already made his move. The Elders of the Netherworld were notorious for their vicious Eagle Talon Technique, and one of them aimed to cripple Dustin’s arms with a single strike. Dustin’s gaze turned cold, and he waited until the man was nearly upon him before making his move. With a swift motion, he grabbed the attacking hand in midair. The Elder seemed shocked, but before he could react, Dustin twisted his hand with force. “Ahh!!!” In an instant, the Elder’s hand twisted disturbingly, and his bones shattered. His hand was permanently crippled. He would never be able to perform the Eagle Talon Technique ever again. The scene stunned everyone present. How could there be such a vast difference in skill, even between two Legendary Martial Saints? The Elders of the Netherworld had been notorious for years. They were responsible for countless deaths. How could they be so easily defeated on their first strike? T
Inside the living room of the McCall family villa, only Dustin remained seated. Whoosh! A sharp sound cut through the air, and a long object shot toward Dustin. With a swift motion, he extended his hand and pinched it between his fingers. It was a piece of paper. Two lines of writing were scrawled on it: [Jonathan McCall intervened and offered a jade pendant. Arthur Williams withdrew reluctantly.] Dustin’s gaze sharpened. A jade pendant… Something capable of making even Arthur Williams wary must be significant. As the paper burned to ashes in his hand, Dustin’s face turned contemplative. The McCall family was not to be underestimated. Tap, tap… The soft sound of footsteps came from outside, and Dustin’s face quickly returned to normal. “Mr. Dox…” Jonathan entered with a smile with his hands clasped behind his back. He was followed closely by Allison. “I’ve come to express my deepest gratitude, Mr. Dox, for saving my life,” the old man said as he offered a
“I once made a vow. Whoever could save my grandfather, I would offer myself to them. Tonight, I am here to fulfill that promise…” Allison’s cheeks flushed. Her beauty was made even more irresistible by the shy vulnerability in her gaze. Dustin froze. Was she serious? How was anyone supposed to maintain composure in the face of such boldness? “Miss, I…” Before he could finish, he was gently but firmly pushed into the room. She used her slender leg to push the door close. Then, she approached Dustin. Dustin swallowed hard. The temptation was overwhelming. If not for his steadfast principles, he might have already lost control. ‘She must be too warm… That’s why she’s removed her outer robe… She doesn’t mean anything else…’ he thought to himself. “Sir, to give myself to you is my honor,” Allison whispered in her low and sultry voice. Every syllable dripped with allure. Every movement and every glance she cast at him was like adding fuel to a fire that Dustin
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
