Chapter 765

Author: Marina Vittori
At that moment, a group of heavily armed soldiers stormed into the hall. They carried loaded guns and exuded a menacing posture.

They had Dustin surrounded as soon as they entered, pointing their barrels directly at him. Ready to shoot on command.

"Mr. Killian, don't hurt him!" Dahlia cried out.

"Since Ms. Nicholson has spoken, naturally, I'd have to give in." Gavin smiled as he wiped the blood off the corners of his lips. He waved dismissively. "Back off, let him go."

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers answered and dispersed into two teams. Their movements were organized, and they were clearly well-trained.

Dustin turned around and glanced coldly at them before walking straight out the door. When he left the hotel, a light drizzle started to fall. The cold wind brought a chill, mirroring his current emotions.

At that moment, a silver Bently screeched to a stop at the entrance. Natasha got out of the car, her expression evident with joy.

"Dear, are you all right? I was so scared when

    Natasha was seething with rage. She knew how sincere Dustin's feelings were for Dahlia. It even made her envious.But Dahlia not only took it for granted, she also resorted to violence. How could she be so foolish? Natasha had reached her limit today. Dahlia could raise her hand against anyone but her man. "Forget it, Natasha. Let's go. I have nothing else to say," Dustin said impassively. "Hmph! Reflect on your actions!" Natasha sneered and got in the car before speeding away. "How did it come to this? How?" Dahlia muttered to herself as she watched the tail lights disappear. She was lost and disoriented. Although she acted impulsively earlier, she was just preventing Dustin from making another big mistake. Why did nobody understand her? What exactly did she do wrong? "Dahlia, what are you doing out here? It's cold. Let's go back in." Julie had rushed out after her. She wrapped a coat around her to keep her warm. "Julie, do you think I was wrong?" Dahlia asked, still look

    The red handprint on Dustin's cheek hadn't faded away. Dustin smiled as he replied, "No.""Your cheek might not be hurting, but your heart is hurting, right?" Natasha raised an eyebrow. "Since it's come to this, you should just let her go. Why torture yourself like that? I'll take care of you instead. Wouldn't that be great?""I'm a grown man. I can't just rely on a woman for a living, don't you think?" Dustin scratched his head."So what if you rely on a woman for a living? That takes skill too!" Natasha extended a slender finger and raised Dustin's chin. She smirked and teased, "Besides, with your looks, it'd be a waste not to rely on a woman. You're just my type. Why don't you clean yourself up tonight and warm up my bed?The corners of Dustin's lips twitched. Why did it feel like a pervert was flirting with him?"How about it? Have you made up your mind? Are we going to your place or mine?" Natasha smiled at him seductively. Dustin wanted so badly to taste her rosy lips.

    The next morning at Fallonge estate, Scarlet was dressed in a sexy silver one-piece dress. As she looked at herself in the mirror, she felt uncomfortable. Normally, she would be seen in her martial arts outfit, general's outfit, or casual clothes. It was her first time wearing such a tight-fitting dress. "Madam Scarlet, you look beautiful today. Just look at that beautiful face and figure. Who wouldn't fall for you?" Georgia stood beside Scarlet, her eyes filled with awe. She had always been aware of Scarlet's beauty, but seeing her dressed up made her look even more stunning! Coupled with Scarlet's heroic spirit, she looked beautiful and brave, appealing to both men and women alike. "Are you sure this looks good on me? It doesn't seem quite right." Scarlet pursed her lips. Georgia nodded solemnly. "Of course, it looks good! A tight-fitting, one-piece dress is supposed to look elegant. They show off your figure. It's a style beautiful women like. Just look at your slim waist,

    "What, do I not look good?" Scarlet looked down at her outfit, looking slightly distressed. "Not really, it just seems awkward. I prefer the way you usually dress," Dustin replied bluntly.Scarlet was a fearless female general, and her heroic spirit was her most attractive aspect. She looked beautiful and brave in her general outfit, exuding irresistible charm. She looked just as gorgeous in a dress. However, it didn't suit her. "Huh?" Scarlet's questioning gaze landed on Georgia upon hearing him. "I'm going to get some drinks!" Georgia was scared. She escaped as soon as she could."Logan, can you wait a while? I'm going to change." Scarlet rushed back to her room without another thought. Soon after, she came out dressed in a red martial arts outfit. Dustin's eyes lit up immediately. "Not bad, this outfit looks so much better." He nodded in satisfaction.Scarlet smiled sweetly, feeling warm inside. As expected, Dustin liked her true self better."Kid, I heard the situa

    Dustin, Scarlet, and her two deputy generals left Fallonge estate. They walked around the popular tourist spots in Millsburg, taking photos. They also bought souvenirs. Afterward, they went to Food Street downtown. They tried all the local food. They ended their day watching a movie called "Wandering Planet" at the theater. When they came out, it was dark. "Dustin, where are we going next?" Scarlet was still full of energy. This was the happiest and most relaxed she had been in ten years. "Madam Scarlet, we've been out all day. Why don't we return home now?" Bridget suggested. She and Georgia had been on high alert since morning. They were protecting Scarlet from any potential ambush. As Dragonmarsh's Goddess of War, Scarlet was highly respected. However, she was also a thorn in the eyes of many other countries. Every year, she faced countless assassination attempts. It was especially dangerous in crowded places like this. They had to guard Scarlet against all kinds of

    She was simply irresistible to some perverts.Bridget yelled, "You're not worthy of being friends with Madam Scarlet. Get lost!""Hey, are you looking down on me?" Bridget had made the man upset. "Do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is? I'm Daniel Grint, son of Zen Order's guildmaster!" The expressions of the people in the restaurant changed after he said that. "The Zen Order? Isn't that one of the eight major sects in Glenstead?" "I heard they have thousands of disciples, and they have a huge influence. As a leader in the martial arts world, not many dare provoke them.""That's weird. What's the Zen Order doing in Balerno?""They must be here for the Knighthood Society tournament. It's held in Balerno this time, at Shinefield Lake. That's not far from Millsburg. Many martial artists are visiting for the same reason." As they spoke, they inexplicably distanced themselves. They were afraid of being caught up in the commotion. "I've never heard of any Zen Or

    "Ah!" Daniel let out another terrifying scream. Both of his legs were now broken. His expression twisted in agony. He just wanted a woman to sleep with. He didn't expect to meet a bunch of lunatics instead. They showed zero respect for the Zen Order, daring to harm others without hesitation or warning. "Shit! Who are these people? How dare they harm disciples from the Zen Order?""She's pretty, but her methods are absolutely ruthless." The onlookers were stunned as they watched Daniel squirmed in pain."That's enough. You're disturbing our meal. Just drag him out." Scarlet waved dismissively.Even as Scarlet gestured for Georgia and Bridget to drag Daniel out, she never looked up throughout the entire situation. Insignificant gangsters like them were not worth her time."Madam Scarlet is in a good mood today, so I'll let you go. Reflect on your actions when you get back," Georgia said. She then kicked Daniel stomach, sending him flying. He landed heavily by the doo

    Georgia and Bridget were furious. They were about to launch another attack when Scarlet raised a hand to stop them."You're no match for him. Let me handle it." Scarlet stood up slowly. She swept a cold gaze across the room. A chill was sent down the laughing crowd's spine, and they turned silent. For some reason, they felt like death was staring them in the eye. "Oh, I didn't expect to see such a gorgeous woman here. I'm in luck." Joel's eyes lit up in delight upon seeing Scarlet. His lips curled up into a sly smile. "It seems like you people look down on women." Scarlet said impassively, "I'll give you a chance. If you can defend against three moves of mine, I'll let you go alive.""You'll let us go alive?" The group was momentarily stunned. Then, they howled in laughter. "Hey, girl, I think you haven't realized the situation yet. You're at our mercy, not the other way around!""You're pretty but pretty dumb.""Hey, beautiful. If I manage to defend against three of yo

    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

    "This…" Dustin began.He hesitated on purpose and didn't give an immediate answer.Upon seeing him deep in thought, Nathaniel was convinced that Dustin was weighing the pros and cons. He leaned in slightly, his smile widening with anticipation. "You should know how much the Dracan essence means to me," he said. "If I can gather all the essences, it’d be like fate is on my side. My path to the throne would be unstoppable—and when that time comes, your reward will be waiting."As he spoke, his gaze stayed on Dustin as he searched for any sign of hesitation in his expression.Dustin looked up and met his eyes. For a moment, something unreadable flickered in his gaze.He pressed his lips together and spoke slowly. "You're right, Your Highness. But it wasn't easy to find the Dracan essence. I went through quite a few twists and turns. Besides, if I give it to you, it might put me at odds with the other two princes."He paused deliberately and left the rest unsaid. Still, the concern

    The next morning, Nathaniel was inside a lavish mansion. He was in his study, flipping through an ancient manuscript. One of his most trusted aides hurried in and lowered his voice, "Your Royal Highness, word just came in. Another trace of Dracan essence has been found."Nathaniel raised an eyebrow and closed the manuscript. "Where?""Our investigation shows it ended up in the hands of Logan Rhys," the aide replied."Logan Rhys?" Nathaniel narrowed his eyes slightly and was surprised by the name.He had tried to win Logan over before and spared no expense, but never received a response. Later, he discovered that Tristan and Matthias had done the same.Fortunately, Logan still hadn't picked a side. He might be holding out for the best offer, but at least he hadn't shut the door on Nathaniel.With the Dracan essence in his hands, Logan had become an even more valuable target. In addition to the West Lucozian monarchy, Logan was an ultimate grandmaster, which made him worth recrui

    "Give me a moment to think," Dustin said.Grace's words sent him into deep thought.After all, carrying the fate of Dragonmarsh was no small burden. First, he had to be tough enough to handle it. Then, he needed the resolve to accept what came with it. Once he carried that burden, it meant taking on a heavyweight.He used to act on his own terms and do things as he pleased without worrying too much about the consequences. But once the nation's fate was involved, everything changed.Not that he had many options.Dustin could either hide in Sacred Wrym Summit and hope Arion would protect him, or take a risk and absorb the Dragonmarsh's fate to push through his cultivation's bottleneck. Between the two, he was leaning toward the latter."I can give your plan a shot," Dustin said suddenly. "But we're still missing a piece of the Dracan essence. If we're doing this, we need to find that last one first."Only once all five pieces of Dracan essence were united could he truly wield the

    "Royal gods? And two of them?" Dustin frowned at the news.His battle with Poseidon in West Lucozia had shown him firsthand that the Hall of Gods didn't send weaklings into the field.One royal god had already pushed him to his limit. If two came at him together, winning wasn't even the question. He'd be lucky just to make it out alive."That's right," Grace said solemnly. "The royal gods, Zeus and Hera, have crossed the border. They're even stronger than Poseidon. If they ambush you together, your chances are slim."She knew Dustin was strong, but he was still young. Moreover, Zeus and Hera weren't just anyone. They were world-class powerhouses. Surviving a fight with them would be next to impossible.The Hall of Gods had probably figured out how dangerous Dustin could become. If they had given him a few more years to grow, they might not have been able to stop him."Well, that complicates things." Dustin rested his chin in one hand with a thoughtful expression.Two royal god

    Soluna Hall had one rule—they wouldn't accept unfamiliar customers. They only served those they knew well or people introduced by someone they trusted. Every transaction required an appointment. Exceptions were made for urgent matters, but those came with an additional fee.When Dustin reached the entrance, two security guards stopped him. After stating his name and being verified by the guards, they let him through.Inside, a female attendant with a pleasant smile greeted him and led him across the main hall straight into the back garden. They passed a small fish pond and stopped in front of a secluded private room."This is Ms. Linsor's private reception area. Mr. Rhys, please come in," the female attendant said with a smile."She's not here?" Dustin asked curiously."She had something come up, but she'll be here soon. Please make yourself comfortable," the attendant said, still smiling."Alright then." He nodded and walked into the room.The room was spacious, with a vintag
