At that moment, several cars with bullet holes and emitting smoke stopped at the entrance of Zephyr Lodge.The door opened, and Natasha and Nelson quickly stepped out."Ms. Harmon, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Nelson looked fearful.When they escaped the ambush earlier, bullets were flying everywhere. Nelson didn't know how many bullets hit their car."I'm fine. Go get help for Dustin." Natasha urged."Oh, right!" Nelson immediately came to his senses and shouted, "Hurry! Gather all the Kirin Gang members! We're going to help Sir Rhys!""Yes, sir!" his subordinates replied. They hurried inside to call the others.A short while later, a group of Kirin Gang disciples swarmed toward Mount Shinefield."Ms. Harmon, Sir Rhys is strong, and many members are backing him up. He'll be fine. You should head inside and get some rest." Nelson wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then, he led Natasha into the meeting room."Nelson, just who did your gang leader piss off? First, it was getting

"Run, Ms. Harmon!" Gritting his teeth, Nelson grabbed his sword and cleared a path for Natasha to escape. Natasha immediately ran out of the meeting room. When she turned around, Nelson and his men were already lying in pools of blood. "Grab her! Don't let her escape!" Felix yelled, knowing that Natasha was Dustin's weakness. He planned to use Natasha as a hostage if Dustin was still alive. "After her!"As Charging Tiger Guild's disciples charged after her, Nelson sprung up. He was bleeding but pushed past the men and dashed to close the doors. "Run, Ms. Harmon!" he yelled as he locked the doors. "You motherfucker! You're doomed!" Felix was pissed. He grabbed one of his subordinates' swords and slashed Nelson multiple times. Despite his injuries, Nelson didn't budge from the door, and his grip never loosened. "Just die!" Felix was furious and brought the sword down on Nelson nonstop. Even Felix's subordinates frowned at the gruesome sight. After dozens of strikes,

"Nelson!"Dustin paled as the situation sank in. He quickly took out his needles and tried to stop the bleeding. But it was impossible, as Nelson had too many wounds. Realizing the severity of the situation, Dustin began channeling his true energy into Nelson, desperate to keep him alive. Finally, Nelson's eyes cracked open tiredly. "Y—you're back …" Nelson croaked. "I—is Ms. Harmon alright?""She's safe." Dustin forced a smile. "That's good …" The corner of Nelson's mouth lifted. "I kept my promise, Sir. I d—did what you told me to a—and protected Ms. Harmon …""That's right. You did." Dustin nodded frantically. Although he kept channeling his true energy into Nelson, he could still feel Nelson's life slowly slipping away. "Sir … I—I don't think I can hang on anymore. I'd l—like to ask for a favor …" Nelson's breathing became labored. "Don't be silly! I'm a miracle doctor! I will save you!" Gritting his teeth, Dustin inserted a few needles into Nelson's body. Ye

Before going on his mission, Nelson had texted his wife. However, Cecilia became worried when he didn't pick up the phone, so she rushed over with their daughter. The sight of blood at the door only made her even more uneasy. "Nelson? Where are you?" Cecilia cried out worriedly.All Kirin Gang members remained silent, their heads lowered. The entire manor was quiet. "Nelson?"When Cecilia finally arrived at the meeting room, she was stunned. Was that bloody corpse on the floor, her husband?She stumbled forward in disbelief. Reality sank in when she saw the man's face, and she threw herself over the body and began to weep. "Wake up, Nelson! Wake up! Please open your eyes! Oh, why did this happen?" Tears streamed down Cecilia's face. Haley was crying as well. She ran over to Nelson and kept pushing his body. "Daddy, wake up! Weren't we going to celebrate my birthday? You promised me you would bring me to the theme park! "Wake up! Y—you broke your promise. Bad daddy! I

Felix was lying on the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth in a lavish mansion in Eastville. He had one of his legs propped up on a coffee table with a bloody hand firmly attached to it. Two of his men crouched beside the table as they carefully tried to pry the hand off. Because of how firm Nelson's grip was, his nails had already dug into Felix's skin. "Damn it, be careful!" Felix hissed with a frown, kicking one of the men to the floor. "Give us a second. We're almost done." His subordinate smiled apologetically. Finally, they managed to get Nelson's hand off. "What the fuck is wrong with that asshole? He just wouldn't let go! Why did he have to go so far for that bastard?" Felix cursed. He had been waiting for his chance since the Kirin Gang was established. Although he had finally become a guildmaster and lived a much better life than before, he refused to obey someone else's command. He had always been greedy, so he kept his eyes glued to the leader's position. A

"We might want money. But we want your death more. Sir Rhys will forgive us if we take you down." The rugged leader shook his head. "Run, Sir! We'll take care of them!" Felix's loyal subordinates went forward and blocked the Charging Tiger Guild disciples. "Good job, men! Stand strong!" Felix patted one of their shoulders. He grabbed his wife, turned around, and ran. "Kill them!"The rugged man lifted his sword and charged toward Felix's men. Although Felix's subordinates tried their best, they were no match for the guild disciples and were quickly defeated. "After him!" The rugged man chased after Felix. "Ouch!" Just then, Felix's wife tripped and fell. "Honey, I sprained my ankle! Carry me on your back!" she cried out. "You're such a nuisance!" Felix was about to help her when he spotted the men approaching them. He retracted his hand and spun around to run. "Honey? Honey!" The woman exclaimed, but Felix never turned around. There was no way that woman's life was m

Inside one of the black sedans, Dustin rested his head against his headrest with his eyes closed. Despite how calm he looked outside, his murderous glint was exposed when he opened his eyes.Suddenly, his phone began to ring. Cornelius was calling him. "Sir, as you ordered, we've cut Felix apart and left his head untouched.""Alright," Dustin answered emotionlessly. "Sir, we've captured Felix's wife and son. What should we do about them?" Cornelius asked. "Kill them." "Yes, sir," Cornelius responded. "That reminds me." Dustin suddenly changed the topic. "Tell someone to look into Gavin Killian's whereabouts.""Sir, he's quite a powerful man. Are you sure you want to do that?" Cornelius hesitated. "I don't care who he is. Anyone who kills my friend deserves to die. Get it done at once!" Dustin snapped."Yes, sir!" Cornelius instantly responded. The Kirin Gang had many disciples, so it was easy for them to collect information. They found out where Gavin was in less th

"Why can't you see how wonderful your life would be if you married Mr. Killian? You'd have the whole world wrapped around your finger!" Florence was exasperated."If I want power, I can get it with my hands. I don't want to get it through marriage." Dahlia shook her head."Dahlia …" Florence sighed resignedly. "Alright, alright. I guess the fruits of her labor will taste sweeter." Victoria intervened, but she was secretly happy. Since Dahlia didn't like Gavin, Julie might have a chance. "Look, it's Mr. Killian!" Julie exclaimed. Everyone turned toward the door and saw Gavin entering confidently. Wearing a suit, he was followed by a group of men.The other guests automatically opened a path for them when they walked by. Their intense aura instantly made them the center of attention."What brings you here, Mr. Killian?" Florence and several others greeted enthusiastically. "It's your birthday, Mrs. Nicholson. It's only natural that I send my wishes." Gavin gestured with a

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

"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
