“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
Energy Form-Shifting! It was another example of Energy Form-Shifting! Joseph had never imagined that Dustin would be able to use the same skill. “Not everyone can manage Energy Form-Shifting…” Joseph was truly stunned. Dustin was only about twenty years old. To be able to become a Martial Saint at his age already made him a rare prodigy. It was rare to find someone like him who could kill a high-class Martial Saint. This kind of person only appeared once in a few decades. This was why the McCall family wanted to protect Dustin at all costs. They wanted it so badly that they disturbed him and made him leave Central Harbor. After coming here today and fighting Dustin, Joseph was truly taken aback. It was unreal that Dustin had already reached this level. It was extraordinary! He was not even a Martial King yet… Although Joseph had experienced much in his life, his emotions were in turmoil. Had someone like Dustin ever existed in the martial world? He was
“Mrs. Swift, you shouldn’t keep working here as a janitor,” Dustin said to Michelle seriously in the Creative Arts Corporation office. Dustin had some free time, so he was prepared to make some arrangements for Michelle. He wanted her to live a life of luxury. “What am I supposed to do if not this?” Michelle sighed. “Besides, Miss Shawna gave me this chance, so I have to work hard.” “Don’t worry, Mrs. Swift. I will take care of you. You won’t have to work. Just enjoy your golden years,” Dustin said with a smile. “Alright. You work hard, then, and I’ll leech off you.” Michelle was not taking any of this seriously. She thought that Dustin was only joking. After all, the once-successful Fox family was no more. What kind of good life could its sole surviving descendant enjoy? “Dustin, I’ve saved up some money over the years. It’s not a lot, but you can ask me for money if you need it. After all, you youngsters have a lot of expenses,” Michelle said as she walked off. Dusti
Dustin eyed the young man and frowned. It was obvious that Troy had tried to woo Shawna. The look in his eyes was unmistakable. “This must be your mother. Wow, you’re gorgeous! You’re just as charming as your daughter. It’s no surprise that you’re her mother. You look amazing!” Troy had a way with words. Maisie just smiled in response. “And this is…?” Troy looked at Dustin and raised an eyebrow. “His name is Dustin Fox. He’s Shawna’s best friend,” Maisie said. She could see that Shawna disliked Troy. That was why she called Dustin her best friend. “Mom!” Shawna was taken aback. She never thought that her mother would say something so shocking. Troy’s face stiffened for a moment. He looked displeased. He had chased after Shawna for three whole years in university. He did not even give up after graduation. Yet, he never got a chance with her. Where did this punk come from? He looked so distasteful. Did Shawna really like him? Troy himself was from a respec
“40 million dollars is just pocket change?” Troy could not help but laugh. Who in Grayvale would dare to say something so bold? Even the richest person in Grayvale would not dare say such a thing. “Since it’s just pocket change for you, please do pay up, Mr. Fox,” Troy said icily. “Troy, Dustin was just joking. Please don’t take it to heart. Could you please do something about this contract?” Shawna asked anxiously. “Shawna, I’m sorry. The contract has been signed. This is legally binding. I have no way of helping,” Troy said in a fake sad tone. “If you want to blame someone, you can only blame Mr. Fox for being too arrogant. He didn’t even blink before signing that contract.” Shawna and Maisie both looked pressed. “I told you that 40 million dollars is nothing,” Dustin said slowly. “I can use my card for it, but I’m afraid your company doesn’t have something that can accept it.” “Haha. Mr. Fox, you must be joking,” Troy smiled. “We have the most advanced card ma
[The card balance is 70 million dollars] came the machine’s info. “What?!” Troy was flabbergasted. Shawna and Maisie looked at Dustin in surprise. How could he have so much money? They were not talking about a couple of million but 70 million dollars! This was a gold card, and it had a remaining balance of 70 million dollars. That meant that his purple gold card… How much money could it have on it? The three of them could hardly begin to imagine it. Shawna’s mouth was wide open. She was in utter disbelief. 70 million dollars! That was after the 40 million had been deducted! If that was added in, then it meant the card had over a billion in it. How could a mere security guard at her company have so much money? Had Dustin not come to stay with Michelle because he needed help? Was he not supposed to be so destitute that he could not even feed himself? Shawna was in shock, and it took a long time for her to regain her composure. Troy was silent for a long tim
“It’s been too long, you old butler.” The words were said so arrogantly that it made Hector’s face change immediately. That was a very distant title from another time… It had been more than a decade since someone had referred to him as a butler. Back in the day, he was the butler of the affluent Fox family. He had been highly regarded by the Fox family patriarch… Hector’s face darkened when he saw the young man smiling haughtily at him. “Who are you?” he asked. “It’s been twenty years. I suppose it’s only natural that you don’t recognize me, Mr. Ziegler,” Dustin said teasingly. Dustin’s smile was icy. The chairman of the Ziegler Group, and once, the butler of the Fox family… Dustin had investigated everyone in the Fox family, and he remembered every name. He was ready to avenge every single one of them. Whether they had the last name Fox or not, they had died a horrible death while in the household. Dustin had spent so much time investigating the Fox fami
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
