"You fucker!" James got up and was about to spew insults when he realized that Dustin was already gone. "Damn it! That kid's lucky he got away, or I'd have taught him a lesson!""He can't run away forever! After doing something like this, I'll make sure he stays in jail for the rest of his life!" Florence gritted her teeth."That's right! You can't let him go!" Julie and the others quickly agreed. Dustin had gone too far!"Hmm …" Just then, Dahlia began to wake up."You're finally awake!" Florence lit up. "How do you feel?""What are all of you doing here, Mom?" Dahlia rubbed her aching temples, her memory was a mess."Lyra called and told us that you might be in danger, so we hurried here. Thank God we made it in time, or Dustin would have raped you!" Florence got angry again."Dustin?" Dahlia frowned, seeming to have recalled something. She asked, "Where is he?""Don't worry. We chased him away." Florence reassured Dahlia. "That's right. We called the police too. We'll catch that a

At the Laney villa, Phineas paced back and forth in the living room, looking extremely anxious. It was the break of dawn, but he hadn't slept a wink since he lost contact with Matt, who left at midnight. It was as if Matt had vanished into thin air. Phineas sent a group of bodyguards to search, but there was still no news of Matt, which told him that something was wrong.Suddenly, someone's car beeped at his door. He glanced outside and saw a black SUV parked outside. The car door opened, and a figure wrapped in a burlap sack was dumped out as the car drove away."Huh?" Confused, Phineas nodded to the bodyguards at the entrance, who quickly opened the sack to reveal a naked man with a swollen nose and bruised body."Dad …" The young man opened his eyes dazedly and cried out hoarsely. "Matt?" Phineas was flabbergasted. "W—what happened to you?""It was Dustin Rhys … H—he …" Matt burst into tears. No one knew what he'd been through last night. There had been many times when Matt wante

It was at that moment that Phineas felt pure terror. Who would have thought that the plain old man in front of him was the Executioner? Why had the Executioner visited them personally?"How dare you hit me!" His head spinning, Matt pulled himself up and roared. "You're dead! It's over for all of you! Men, finish them off!""Stop!" Phineas yelled before falling to his knees before the old man. He frantically begged. "Sir Albert, we don't know what we've done to incur your wrath, but please forgive us.""Have you gone crazy, Dad? Why are you groveling?" Matt was in disbelief. He didn't understand why his dad was begging the old man for forgiveness when they were on the winning side."What do you know, you moron! We can't afford to mess with them, so hurry up and kneel!" Phineas frantically signaled Matt."I'm not kneeling!" Matt looked around maniacally. "What do you mean we can't afford to mess with them? There are only three of them. We'll be able to drown them with just the piss of

"What?" Phineas froze, and he cried. "Sir Alfred, we did nothing to you. Why are you doing this?""It's true that I have nothing against you. However, you offended the young master in my family, so I cannot forgive you." Alfred looked at them calmly."T—that's impossible! We would never dare to do that!" Phineas suddenly froze. "The Rhys family? Rhys? Don't tell me … You're talking about Dustin Rhys?""Bingo. That's the eldest son of the Rhys family, Logan Rhys." Alfred smiled."L—Logan Rhys? The kirin? H—how is that possible?!" Phineas looked like he was about to have a heart attack at any time.He'd done his research before. Dustin was merely a pretty boy who depended on the Harmon family to get to where he was today. How could he possibly be Logan Rhys?Logan Rhys, the man who nearly brought on the war that could have destroyed a nation. The man who received the title of "Legendary Demon" a decade ago. No wonder the Executioner was here. It turned out that they had offended Logan R

In the morning, at the airport. Edwin and Tina waited in front of a Rolls-Royce Phantom. "Dad, we've already been waiting for two hours. Why isn't Joshua here yet?" Tina glanced around, looking anxious."It's normal for flights to be delayed. Let's wait it out a little longer." Edwin looked calm. Last night, he'd suddenly received a call from Joshua, saying he'd completed his refinement, which meant he was now the Hummer family's trump card. As they spoke, a young couple exited the airport. The man was handsome and dignified, giving off an air reminiscent of a sharp blade, making one unable to look him in the eye. The woman beside him was dressed in red and equally outstanding. She was beautiful, elegant, and looked powerful. "Dad, he's here!" Tina's eyes lit up with excitement. She'd been eagerly anticipating his return. "Josh, you're finally back!" Edwin approached him with a bright smile. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Dad." Joshua smiled and gestured to the woman beside him.

Divine-level martial artists, on the other hand, could manifest their energy externally and use it to harm or even murder others without anyone realizing it. Low-level martial artists weren't even in the same league as them. Even in Millsburg, where powerful martial artists converged, divine-level martial artists were existences to fear. It was no wonder Joshua had won the Grant family's favor—how could he not when he possessed such talent and potential? Which family wouldn't want to have something to do with him? "Dad, are divine-level martial artists truly that powerful? How will Joshua fare against Dustin?" Tina asked curiously. "Joshua can destroy that brat with a snap of his fingers!" Edwin said proudly. "That's great! Joshua, you have to teach him a good lesson on my behalf!" Tina said excitedly. "There's no hurry to deal with Dustin—he's a weakling that can be slaughtered at any time. What's more important now is that we have to give Joshua and Jade a proper welcome."

"What, are you gonna resort to physical violence?" A cold smile curved Dustin's lips at the sight of the security guards surrounding him. He'd always been the type who was open to persuasion, not coercion. Perhaps he would've given in to them if they'd talked to him nicely, but if they wanted to opt for physical violence … well, he didn't mind teaching them a lesson or two. "So what if I am? Don't think too highly of yourself, you brat!" Quentin snarled. He'd always harbored a grudge against Dustin for humiliating him at their first meeting. If not for Natasha keeping him in check, he would've exacted revenge on Dustin ages ago. Now that Natasha wasn't around, it was his chance to get payback! "Quentin, don't take things too far!" Ruth couldn't stand it anymore. "It's up to Dustin whether he wants to sell the shares. If you dare do anything to harm him, I won't let you off the hook!" "Ruth, this has nothing to do with you. Keep your nose out of this!" Quentin didn't back down.

Nobody expected Dustin to suddenly get physical and attack someone from the Boulderthorn Guild. Had he lost his mind? "Dustin, are you out of your mind? How dare you attack Mr. Williams' son! Do you have a death wish?" Jessica glared at him with a mixture of shock and fury. Attacking Brody was equivalent to issuing a challenge to the Boulderthorn Guild. "You may have a fucking death wish, but the rest of us don't! Mr. Williams isn't someone you can afford to offend!" Quentin bellowed. Though he wanted nothing more than for Dustin to get in trouble, that didn't mean he wanted to perish with him. "Dustin, you've really done it now!" Even Ruth looked panicked. The Boulderthorn Guild was much too powerful; even the Harmon family wouldn't survive a retaliation from them. "He's nothing but a piece of trash. What does it matter if I've attacked him?" Dustin said coolly. "You—you're so thickheaded!" Jessica glared daggers at him. At this moment, Brody had finally managed to free hi

"Mr. Rhys, you're so generous," Felicia said. "I don't know how to repay you."She lightly ran her fingers over the smooth surface of the ornate box. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she looked up at Dustin gratefully."It was nothing, Ms. Thorns. Don't mention it," he replied with an indifferent smile. "Besides, this Dracan essence was always destined for Prince Nathaniel. I'm merely delivering it."Felicia smiled earnestly. "What do you want in return? If it's within my power, I'll gladly help."Dustin replied, "I'm not asking for anything. I only hope that if I ever find myself in trouble, Prince Nathaniel will be willing to help me.""I get it now." Felicia nodded.Dustin wasn't asking for treasure, but rather seeking a favor from Nathaniel. With Nathaniel's current status, his favor was more valuable than any treasure.If he ascended the throne and became king, the value of that favor would increase exponentially. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that, even if D

When Dustin heard Felicia's word, his hand briefly hesitated before he placed the chess piece. He smiled and said, "I thought you came to learn chess, but I didn't expect you to be here as a messenger."Felicia gave a light, teasing laugh. "With a mind like yours, how could you not know why I'm here?"She added candidly, "Prince Nathaniel saved my life and welcomed me as an honored guest. It's only right that I repay the favor by helping solve his troubles. I hope that it doesn't bother you.""You're frank and gracious, Ms. Thorns. Why would I take offense?" Dustin replied with a faint smile.He had expected her to start with pleasantries or try to butter him up. So, her bluntness actually caught him off guard."To be honest, Prince Nathaniel has never taken this kind of interest in anyone before," Felicia said as she placed another chess piece on the board. She smiled and continued, "I can tell he truly wants you on his side. And as someone close to him, I'd like to help make

Nathaniel's mansion was huge. It was more like a maze than a home. Even with a detailed layout, Dustin had to stay sharp as he moved through the grounds. After all, blueprints never quite captured the twists and turns of the actual place.Led by a maid, he followed a winding path through the corridors for nearly ten minutes before finally arriving at a guesthouse with a garden.The place was spacious and quiet, filled with birdsong and blooming flowers. It was a secluded spot that was ideal for privacy."Mr. Rhys, you can stay here. If you need anything, just let me know," the maid said. Her gaze was warm with a hint of admiration. She had watched Dustin's performance in the training ground earlier and knew he was an important guest brought in by Nathaniel. If she could catch his attention, it could completely turn her life around.He waved her off and said, "Okay. You can go now. I don't need anyone to attend to me." "Uh… but…" The maid hesitated."Don't worry. I'll explain

The crowd murmured among themselves as they looked at the broken broadsword and the stunned expression on Lycas' face."That strike was insanely fast and dead-on too," someone commented."I never expected General Derin's secret move to be defeated like that. It's unbelievable," another said."I thought General Derin could turn things around for us, but he still lost," a third added.Everyone knew how strong Lycas was. As a fully developed grandmaster with a broadsword, he was supposed to be unstoppable. However, at the critical moment, Dustin's strike shattered his broadsword.Lycas' loss was sudden and almost unbelievable. Some blamed bad luck and thought he could have won if things had gone differently. But those who truly understood what happened knew better.Even with Dustin's movement restricted and Lycas unleashing his strongest technique, he still pierced through the opening with near-impossible timing. That strike wasn't just lucky but masterful. It was a brutal display

Lycas gripped his broadsword with both hands and roared. The sound cracked through the air like a thunderclap.He sidestepped sharply and charged straight at Dustin like a raging bull.The heavy broadsword moved like it weighed nothing in his hands. He swung it with brutal speed. Each arc cut through the air with a sharp, whistling howl, as if it could slice through anything in its path.The broadsword came crashing down on Dustin with bone-crushing force, like a mountain falling from the sky.Lycas threw his full weight into the swing. As the sword descended, the force of the strike stirred up dust from the ground. It sent plumes of dirt in every direction.He knew Dustin was no ordinary opponent. If he wanted a chance to win, he had to make the first move and seize the initiative."Nice form," Dustin said.As Lycas launched a powerful, aggressive attack, Dustin remained calm and unruffled. With effortless grace, he sidestepped without the slightest rush. The broadsword whizz

Bryce knew Dustin was strong, but this was beyond anything he anticipated. Though he had gained the upper hand early on, Bryce still believed his skills matched Dustin's.From his observation, Dustin relied on martial arts techniques and hit-and-run tactics. Plus, he didn't dare to confront Bryce head-on.He had assumed that as long as he found an opening, he could exploit Dustin's weaknesses and defeat him. But when Dustin finally stopped holding back, Bryce realized how wrong he'd been.It turned out Dustin wasn't just playing hit-and-run tactics. Instead, he'd held back the entire time to spare Bryce from an embarrassing defeat.The moment Dustin stopped holding back, Bryce didn't stand a chance. Even without special techniques, Dustin's raw power, speed, and reflexes were enough to crush him.The difference in their abilities was staggering, so much so that no amount of skill could close the gap.And it wasn't just Bryce who was shocked. Except for Nathaniel, who had already

Bryce's request for a fight heated up the atmosphere.Soldiers around the training ground started murmuring among themselves."Lieutenant General Gantz is a legend in our ranks. His combat skills are no joke—he's taken down countless enemies on the battlefield. I haven't seen him in action in years," one young soldier said with awe."Yeah," a veteran agreed. "Lieutenant General Gantz has been through countless battles, and his strength is unmatched. If he steps in, Mr. Rhys might be in for a rough time."After the fight earlier, the soldiers knew firsthand that Dustin was no slouch. Otherwise, he wouldn't have easily defeated the five elite soldiers.But in their minds, no matter how skilled Dustin was, he stood no chance against Bryce.Bryce was a grandmaster not just in rank but in skill, physical strength, and battlefield experience. He was stronger than any expert from the martial world.Nathaniel had once recruited several grandmaster martial artists to spar with them, but

"Your Highness, the soldiers under me are trained solely in killing techniques. If they hurt your guest, things could get ugly," Lycas said.He didn't say it outright, but the message was clear. If Dustin wasn't strong enough, he'd better stay out of the way, or he was just asking for trouble.Bryce didn't say anything, but the look he gave Dustin was full of contempt. How could a pampered young man like Dustin measure up to soldiers who've been through the grind? He figured Dustin was probably some heir from a prominent family who knew Nathaniel and was trying to assert his relevance."You guys are blind to greatness when it's standing right in front of you." Nathaniel chuckled and shook his head. He added, "If any of you manage to land a hit on Mr. Rhys, I'll pay out a thousand gold. But honestly, I doubt any of you have what it takes."At the mention of rewards, the soldiers perked up. Their eyes lit up with excitement. They were practically itching to charge at Dustin and g

During the meal, Nathaniel arranged for two women to accompany Dustin.Throughout history, even the greatest heroes couldn't resist the allure of beautiful women. Sometimes, a woman of extraordinary beauty could be far more enticing than rare treasures or high status.Dustin remained composed. He neither showed any enthusiasm nor did he deliberately reject it.As for the women seated on either side of him, he treated them with polite respect. He enjoyed a drink and the easy conversation with them, but nothing beyond that.However, Nathaniel saw it differently. To him, it seemed that Dustin was unimpressed by the women at his side.Considering Dustin's background, it made sense. A woman of ordinary beauty would never catch his attention. Nathaniel realized he would need to pull out all the stops. Perhaps, it was time to bring out his most prized companion and see how Dustin responded.After the meal, he led Dustin to his mansion's training ground.The midday sun blazed overhead
