The figure seemed to be as light as a feather and practically floated in midair. He carried himself with power. The figure was clothed completely in black, and only his eyes showed through all the coverings. “A high-class Martial Saint!” Dustin announced evenly, and his gaze sharpened. The onlookers were all shocked. Legendary Martial Saints were rare, and most were in the beginner or intermediate classes. A high-class Martial Saint was nearly unheard of. Such people practically never made their presence known. They were mysterious and unfathomable. “Who is this? Why is he hiding his face?” The onlookers were confused and curious. Dustin eyed the man in black and snickered. “Mr. Graves, why do you need to hide your identity when you’ve come to kill me?” The man in black, Gareth Graves, was stunned. He never imagined that his disguise would be so easily seen through. “Were you hired by Lord Barbenheim or someone else?” Dustin asked mockingly. Gareth Gra
Jonathan’s lips twitched. Gareth was a high-class Martial Saint. He could be considered a pioneer in his own right. Yet, he had died just like that by Dustin’s hand. “Grandpapa, Asclepius Valley is a formidable force. They will definitely seek revenge since Dustin killed their leader. Will you help him fight them?” Allison asked softly. “Dustin will be a wonderful grandson-in-law! I will definitely help him!” Jonathan’s gaze flashed as he spoke. “It’s just Asclepius Valley. I can handle it just fine!” “Then, what about Rain Tower? Rain Tower has numerous assassins and uses despicable methods. Will you be able to protect him?” “I can.” Allison smiled in satisfaction. “I may be an old man, but I will be able to protect him as long as the world is still turning!” Jonathan said vehemently. In the garden, Dustin kicked Gareth’s corpse aside and scanned his surroundings again. This time, everything was deathly silent. Who could hope to defeat Dustin when a high-c
The threat of violence poured off Dustin. “That’s…” Jonathan’s eye twitched as his face stiffened. His eyes widened and filled him with fear. He seemed to have seen this kind of power before… Dustin’s murderous intent was so intense that it seemed like he wanted to destroy the whole world. Dustin moved, and it was like waves crashing upon the shore that blew the rocks to smithereens. His murderous intent filled the garden, and a sense of danger rose within everyone present. Allison covered her mouth, and her face turned pale. She was watching a true massacre. Limbs torn from the bodies littered the ground. Fresh blood sprayed everywhere… Dustin’s rampage this time was much bloodier than before. The dozens of powerful assassins had been killed in just an instant. They never even had the chance to escape. The onlookers were tongue-tied as they watched. Even Arthur had gone pale. He thought that these people would at least be able to stall Dustin for a m
Jonathan’s face looked thunderous. The McCall family was a great one, and they had benefactors in Central Harbor supporting them. He could use a token to force Arthur to retreat and prove just how limited Arthur’s power was. Initially, he could have settled everything quietly as long as Dustin did not do anything too troublesome. Yet, Dustin had killed Arthur! He had done it before so many witnesses… How was Jonathan supposed to calm this storm? Dustin had really done it! The Williams family controlled the whole of Lovellia’s southern region and were formidable. Even if the McCall family was powerful, they could not come close to the Williams family’s influence. Killing Arthur could cause an all-encompassing manhunt. Jonathan went silent. His face was solemn. All around the McCall family villa, whether in the darkest corners or brightly lit spaces, everything was quiet. After a long while, a noise broke the silence. Everyone’s face shifted. Some were sh
“I can’t believe he’s so terrifyingly charismatic. He doesn’t act his age at all. He seems more like some kind of powerful, historic character!” Jonathan said. The people gathered in the McCall family villa’s garden began to disperse. The news of the battle that night soon spread. Dustin’s name was going to shake Lovellia’s martial world to its core. After more than twenty years, the surviving member of the Fox family of Grayvale was back for revenge! He had killed Arthur Williams! The news was going to shake the whole city, and Lord Barbenheim would definitely make a move. Everything was unknown at the moment, and many people were waiting to see what would happen in the end. “Jonathan…” Dustin stood before Jonathan and bowed slightly. “How much do you know about the decimation of the Fox family?” he asked directly. Since his identity was already known, there was no point hiding it. Jonathan sighed and nodded. “Did the Williams family order for my fam
About ten minutes later, in a secret room behind the McCall family villa’s garden, Jonathan stood alone. He looked solemn as he activated a device. The device emitted a light that slowly condensed into the image of a person. The person was old and had white hair, but his features were quite youthful. He raised an eyebrow as he regarded Jonathan. “Greetings, Joseph!” Jonathan cried out and bowed deeply at the old man’s image. The old man, Joseph McCall, raised a hand to dismiss him. He frowned. “Why have you contacted me, Jonathan? I remember telling you not to bother me unless you have an emergency,” said Joseph in the authoritative voice of someone very powerful. “Joseph, I have a huge emergency!” Jonathan said solemnly and knelt on the floor. “The McCall family has found itself a very powerful son-in-law. He has already taken Allison for his own, and he is the surviving descendant of the Fox family of Grayvale. He has come to seek revenge… “His talent and power ar
“I will intervene in this matter. The backlash will have to be minimized as much as possible!” Then, Joseph added sternly, “Also, don’t let Dustin go to the Williams family villa. If he goes, he will be done for!” Jonathan looked resigned. “I would like to stop him, but he’s too powerful. I’m afraid I am unable to stop him.” Joseph frowned deeply. “I will send my men… No, I will come personally!” he said solemnly. When Jonathan heard that, he could not help but look stricken. He could not believe that Joseph would travel to Grayvale personally to save Dustin. Joseph had not visited in a long time… “With you handling this personally, Dustin is definitely saved, Joseph.” Jonathan meant every word. Although Dustin was special, Joseph was even more so. Things would be fine. Jonathan felt relieved enough to go back out and inform Allison of the updates. … The next day, Dustin was back at his post at Creative Arts Corporation. Dressed in his uniform, he was work
‘There’s an expert fighter here?’ Dustin’s face was a little solemn as he looked in the direction of the powerful presence. His senses were razor sharp, and they had been specially honed after training with the Fox family’s martial arts technique. He could even sense the movement of a blade of grass. Besides, that fighter was not hiding his presence at all. He had a very powerful aura! As the King of Hades, Dustin had fought countless elite fighters. This person’s aura made it obvious that he was immensely powerful. Compared to those Dustin had fought before, this person would be at the top. He was an unusually powerful person… ‘Who sent him?’ thought Dustin warily. He had too many enemies. Any fighter who came for him must do so with some sort of agenda. What he did not know was what sort of organization had sent this one. Dustin’s first suspect was the perpetrator who had ordered the decimation of the Fox family. After all, Metal Mask had been a Martial Sa
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
