Chapter 488

Author: Autumn Rain
Everyone looked at the two of them, who stood out starkly from the crowd.

No matter how important or powerful they were, none of the martial artists in attendance dared to treat Lord Barbenheim with anything but the greatest respect.

They bowed and lowered themselves as they were supposed to.

It was all because Lord Barbenheim was nobility. In fact, his position as a lord was so high that he towered over everyone present.

Yet, there were two citizens who dared to disrespect him by not bowing to him.

They had to be absolutely clueless!

Etiquette was very important. If Lord Barbenheim decided to make a fuss out of this, the two of them could be charged with insulting nobility or even insulting the laws of Lovellia.

That was a crime that could even get them beheaded!

Timothy and Elijah were both shocked, but after a while, pleased sneers grew on their faces.

They never imagined that Dustin would be so brazen as to insult nobility this way.

After all, even the Sev

    Everyone present was sure that Dustin and Tyler were definitely going to be killed. Lord Barbenheim ruled over the west. Not only did he have a very strong foundation and lots of power, but he also controlled an army. He could command the Western Forces and also had his own personal army. If his personal army marched out, it could probably flatten the entire Dorset Mountain where the Lotus Sect was located. No one understood how Dustin and Tyler could be so bold. Lord Barbenheim scoffed. “You did not bow when I arrived and dared to injure my personal guards. No one in all of the west is as brazen as you! If I don’t make an example out of you, people will think they can disrespect me as well!” he said icily. He seemed ready to make his move. “You don’t have the authority to make me bow to you,” Dustin said indifferently. Lord Barbenheim’s face turned stiff while everyone else watched in a daze. How could Dustin say such a thing? He was too bold! Some of the

    “I am Allison McCall of the McCall family!” Allison shouted as the members of the Lotus Sect closed in. When they heard this, everyone was stunned. Allison was the eldest daughter of the McCall family. The McCall family had always kept a low profile, so there were very few people who knew that the Dragon Supreme was from that family. However, Lord Barbenheim and the higher-ups of the Lotus Sect knew this. For a moment, they all hesitated. Lord Barbenheim frowned. “How did Ms. McCall get involved with Dustin?” He looked displeased. If the McCall family intervened in this matter, it could become a little troublesome. “Watch out! Don’t hurt her,” Lord Barbenheim said to the higher-ups of the Lotus Sect. After a nod, the order was passed along. The members of the Lotus Sect intentionally avoided Allison and targeted Dustin and Tyler. They did not focus much on Madison. Although he had been surrounded, Dustin remained indifferent. He stared at Lord Barbenheim

    This was a blow to many of the martial artists in attendance. Elijah’s face was stormy as he glared viciously at the bloody Jason on the ground. He felt that Jason was simply incapable and useless. At that point, many of the top prodigies also felt very judgmental. “It seems that the Grand Elder of the Lotus Sect has regressed in terms of power. But Dustin is no ordinary fighter. His abilities are on par with the top ten best fighters,” someone said seriously. “Tyler is formidable as well. It’s astounding that the west has produced two such powerful individuals after its downfall.” The fighters at the same level as Dustin and Tyler saw them as threats.“It seems I cannot rely on the Lotus Sect when it comes to this. I shall have to call on my personal army,” Lord Barbenheim said with a stormy expression. It made the members of the Lotus Sect go pale. At this point, neither the Lotus Sect nor Lord Barbenheim would be able to get out of this with their reputations intact if

    “What gives him the right?” Elijah glared daggers at Dustin. His gaze was filled with envy. No one in the same generation as him was able to speak to one of the Five Supremes as equals, except Dustin. That did a lot for his reputation. “Dragon Supreme, could I ask how you know this man?” Lord Barbenheim’s expression was tight as he asked inquisitively. The way Joseph treated Dustin as an equal had stunned him. Could Dustin be hiding his identity that put him in the same class as Joseph? If that were true, why was Lord Barbenheim still pursuing the matter of Dustin’s arrogance? He would have to apologize to Dustin instead. However, Lord Barbenheim did not believe that this was the case. Dustin was too young. Even if he was accomplished, his achievements had a limit. There was no way that he could reach the heights of the Five Supremes. “I had an instant connection with Dustin. That’s why I consider him an equal,” Joseph said with a smile. When they heard this, e

    Elijah was so enraged that he wanted to curse. He wanted to upend the tray and aim it at Dustin’s face. However, he did not dare. Joseph’s gaze was threatening. If he dared to do something like that, Elijah was sure he would perish even before he moved. He could only swallow his fury and move away while still carrying the tray. ‘I’ll make you beg for mercy one day, Dustin!’ Elijah thought to himself with a vicious expression. “Alright. Let’s start the martial arts competition, then.” Joseph gestured. The members of the Lotus Sect finally dared to begin the opening ceremony that had been delayed for so long already. The ceremony was just a formality. Of course, the preliminary stage of the competition had to be held on the first day of the event. The rules of the preliminary round were simple and crude. Twenty people were assigned to a single platform. The last twelve people standing would be considered as having passed the preliminary round. The preliminary round of

    Someone like Cabot did not actually need to fight during the preliminary stage. He could simply stand there as no one with a working brain cell would attack him. Most of the other Martial Saints preferred not to fight in the preliminary round. That way, they could avoid others from observing their moves and finding ways around them. Yet, Cabot did not look like he wanted to wait until he got into the next round. He made a move, and pure energy gathered around him as he walked toward Tyler. His posture said it all: He wanted to fight it out with Tyler. Nearly everyone in the audience looked over at them. Elijah and Timothy beamed. If Cabot defeated Tyler during the preliminary round and the latter lost, they would be overjoyed. “Cabot had broken through to the Martial Saint level two years ago. The Roan family has strong foundations, and their ultimate technique is said to be very powerful. Tyler’s really unlucky.” Henry and the others looked worried. No one thought T

    “I was defeated just like that?” Cabot was in disbelief. He could not make sense of it even after a long time. It had only taken a single move… Cabot had not been able to withstand even a single strike before Tyler sent him hurtling off the platform with one palm strike. He was heavily injured. He was too renowned to take such a blow. But how he felt about the matter was not important. He could only stand below the platform and regret his choices. He had lost his right to keep competing. He had lost the chance to become Joseph’s disciple and to win the entry token to the Martial Haven. “You couldn’t even handle a single move from me, and you thought you could fight my master? You overestimate yourself,” Tyler said to Cabot. It infuriated Cabot, and his face turned livid. He could not even speak. In the beginning, he had been disdainful of Dustin and Tyler. He had learned the Roan family’s martial arts techniques, so he looked down on the Fox family’s ultimate moves

    It was suspicious that the Lotus Sect was being courteous to Dustin for no reason. They had to have an agenda. “Don’t misunderstand, sirs. When it comes to people of your caliber, the Lotus Sect will always be respectful and arrange for your accommodation.” Dustin chuckled and accepted the arrangements. When they arrived at their rooms, Dustin realized that his and Tyler’s rooms were not next to each other. Rather, they were far apart. Regarding this, the Lotus Sect’s person said that Dustin was on the same level as Joseph, so Dustin’s status was higher. As such, he could not be housed the same way the participants were. Dustin did not comment on it. He knew that the Lotus Sect had bad intentions, but he did not call them out on it. Night fell. Tyler was meditating in his room and practicing what Dustin had taught him. He cherished the opportunity that Dustin had given him and was unendingly diligent. In the darkness of the room, there was a pair of eyes staring clo

    The main family was powerful, and it was hard for the branch family to compete because they were much weaker. David did not want to cause any conflict or stir up trouble. Just as David was about to stop Dustin, Simone held him back. “Dad, things have come to this. We should trust Dustin,” Simone said softly. “The main family is being unreasonable. Why should we still be respectful?” David looked resigned. “Simone, it’s not that I don’t trust Dustin, but we can’t win against them.” “Dad, I believe in him. He’s never let me down.” Simone smiled. David paused, then fell silent. At this moment, the Langley family finally understood what Dustin had said and started laughing. “This is ridiculous! You want to fight for the position of the patriarch of this family? Who do you think you are?” one of the main family members said mockingly. A young woman who was moderately beautiful laughed the hardest. Her gaze was full of disdain. “Who do you think you are? How could you e

    At Conan’s command, over a dozen fighters rushed in. These were not ordinary people. They knew how to fight. It was unclear if they were prepared to deal with Dustin. “Simone, take your parents and step back,” Dustin said calmly. David looked worried. He did not want things to escalate like this. “Dad, it’s already come to this. Let’s just trust Dustin to handle it,” Simone said reassuringly. David sighed and stepped back reluctantly. None of them doubted Dustin’s abilities. After all, he had once easily rescued Simone from kidnappers. “Young man, if you admit to your mistake, there’s still time to stop this,” Conan said coldly. “I expected more from the main family,” Dustin said dismissively. Conan’s face darkened. He waved his hand, and the fighters charged. Dustin did not even take them seriously. He moved quickly and darted past them like a whirlwind. Bam! Bam! Bam! The fighters were sent flying and crashed into everything around them. Some main family m

    The butler left. After a while, Dustin and his group arrived at the Langley family villa’s living room. “You must be David Langley, right?” Conan, the patriarch of the Langley family, sat in the main seat and looked at them with a serious and commanding look. His gaze focused mainly on David. “It’s an honor to meet you, Conan,” David said and bowed politely. “How dare you!” someone from the main Langley family shouted angrily. “You can’t address the patriarch by his name!” They glared at David and yelled at him for being disrespectful. “I am the patriarch of the Langley family. Know your place!” Conan said coldly. David’s face froze. “My apologies. I was out of line.” David bowed again. Dustin watched all of this, and his face darkened. Originally, he and Simone’s family had come to Hattan just to deal with the issue between the main branch and the off-shoot families of the Langley family. As long as they handed over the box, he was not planning to get involved.

    Dustin and David spent the day at the oriental garden villa. “David, Monique, there’s no need for all this formality. Just treat it like your own home,” Dustin said with a smile as he was amused by their reactions. David and Monique were both awkward and unsure in the villa and avoided touching anything or exploring the space. They refused when the servants offered to help and insisted on doing everything themselves. Although Simone seemed a little more relaxed, she was still quite uncomfortable with the idea of being waited on by so many people. “We couldn’t possibly treat it like our own place. This is their home. We’re just staying here as guests,” David said awkwardly. Dustin felt helpless. He had not told them that the luxury villa was already under his name. It was a gift from Skyler, and he had done the paperwork secretly. Dustin had no choice but to accept it. Since they had just arrived in Hattan and had not found a place to stay yet, Dustin did not wan

    “They’re decent people. You can trust them. If anything comes up in Hattan, feel free to ask for their help,” Dustin said and told them to introduce themselves. “My name is Brian Lee. I work at the Hattan Provincial Administrative Center. I’m a humble civil servant. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to let me know. I’m happy to help.” A man stepped forward. “I’m Dennis Copper. I run a small business in Hattan with a decent reputation. I look forward to serving you in the future,” said another man as he introduced himself. “I’m Sebastian Fowler. I manage a few people, mostly for hauling and transportation. If you need anything, just say the word...” Each person came forward to greet David and his family with great courtesy and offered to help them in any way possible. Their warm welcome left David and Monique speechless. They could only smile in response. “Gentlemen and ladies, you will stay in the villa behind me. It’s fully equipped with all the necessary amenities, an

    “Dustin, which friend of yours are we meeting?” David asked curiously inside the taxi. He had never heard of Dustin’s friends in Hattan before. “Just… a regular friend,” Dustin said awkwardly. The truth was, he had never met this person before and did not even know their name. “But… wouldn’t it be rude to show up unannounced?” David asked in concern. “David, don’t worry. He owes me a favor and is eager to return it,” said Dustin and chuckled. David and Monique relaxed. The area grew more luxurious as the taxi moved forward. They passed through the city center of Hattan and into a vast and luxurious villa district. “Wait… Your friend lives in a villa district in the heart of Hattan?!” David exclaimed in surprise. Hattan was one of the most prosperous cities in all of Lovellia. It was second only to Central Harbor. Property prices here were astronomical and often reached millions. Villas in the central area were even more exclusive. Whoever lived here was no

    “Apologize!” Dustin tightened his grip again. “F*ck...” Archer cursed. Crack! Dustin frowned and twisted Archer’s hand. It snapped Archer’s wrist completely. The scream that followed was high-pitched and unbearable. Dustin released him, and the latter collapsed to the ground before curling into a ball. “Dustin... you... ahhh!!!” David sighed. He had not expected Dustin to act so decisively and break Archer’s hand without hesitation. Dustin was just standing up for his family. Archer had been infuriating. So, David merely sighed instead of blaming him. “David, respect is earned, not given for free,” Dustin said seriously. “Since the main family looks down on us so much, I don’t think we need to worry too much about their opinion while we’re in Hattan.” David remained silent in thought. Perhaps he was also considering whether the branch family should stop enduring the main family’s repeated humiliation. “You... How dare you... Do you have a death wish?” Archer

    “What did you say? How could you say a thing like that?” Monique demanded angrily. “Archer, no matter what, I’m still your elder. Can’t you speak more politely?” said David because he could not hold back his frustration. “Polite?” Archer sneered coldly as his face filled with contempt and disdain. “You people who split from the family are nothing but parasites of the Langley family. Every time you come, it’s either for money or something else. Look at what you’ve made of yourselvesF!! in the poor and desolate West! You’ve brought shame to the Langley family! And you are asking me to be polite to you? “Ha! Do you think you deserve that? If it weren’t for the elders of the family and their orders, do you think you’d be qualified enough for me to personally come and pick you up?” Archer stood tall and afforded no respect for David’s family in the slightest. His words were harsh and insulting. “People from the branch family like you only deserve to stay here. You’re not worth

    Dustin said nothing. Whether the box’s contents held material value or not, the main Langley family would undoubtedly treat it as a prized relic. It was unlikely they would give it up easily. Some unconventional methods might be necessary. After packing up, the family boarded a flight to Hattan at dawn. It was almost noon by the time they landed. “I’ve already contacted the main family. They said they’d send someone to pick us up,” David said. The group waited for quite some time outside the airport with their luggage but saw no sign of anyone. An hour passed, then another. “Where’s the person picking us up? Why aren’t they here yet?” Monique complained impatiently. David tried calling again but the line never connected. “Maybe they’re delayed on their way here,” he said helplessly. Dustin’s expression remained indifferent. Was this their way of making a statement right from the start? “David, why don’t we go to my friend’s place? I have some conne
