Chapter 989

Author: Marina Vittori
Dustin felt his chest collapse. He was thrown high into the air before crashing heavily onto the ground.

He spat out a third mouthful of blood that landed in a splat far from him. It was a horrifying sight.

"Sir!" Abigail screamed. Her eyes reddened, her face full of grief and anger.

She wanted to rush forward, but Azalea held her tight. So, she could only watch as Dustin suffered.

"One more step … just one more step … Natasha is still waiting for me. I can't fall now!" After collecting himself, Dustin clenched his teeth.

Swaying unsteadily, he forced his battered body to stand upright. He was trembling and weak.

He was like a flickering candle that would go out at any moment.

"Sir, just give up! Let's give up the Shadowbloom. If you continue like this, you will die!" Abigail was anxious as tears started flowing.

She could tell that Dustin was already at his limit. Another strike, and he would be dead.

Drip, drip, drip …

Dustin remained determined. He straightened

    "Anders, you're intelligent and gifted in both warfare and strategy, with a promising future," Seamus said. "One day, all my authority and assets will be handed to you."You're more than ready to handle things on your own now. I trust you know what you should and shouldn't do."I'm getting old, and there's nothing much I can do for you. However, I must remind you to think twice before acting and never outsmart yourself. Understand?"He looked at Anders and offered his heartfelt advice."I'll never forget your words, Godfather," Anders said respectfully.."Good. Make your arrangements, and I'll play my part in staging this falling-out. From here on, you'll have to tread your own path," Seamus said and waved him off."I won't let you down," Anders promised, then turned to leave.As soon as he walked out the door, his lips curved into a faint smirk.Though he was known throughout Oakvale as the Veros Warrior, he had always lived in Seamus' shadow. No matter how many victories he'd

    A chill crept down Matthias' spine at the thought. If the mastermind behind the purge was Grace, then the situation had taken a dire turn.As a staunch royalist, she had never involved herself in government politics. Her unexpected involvement and the massive disruption it caused raised alarming questions.What could she possibly be plotting? Had she already chosen a side? Did she know their father's days were numbered and decide to secure her future?The more Matthias pondered these possibilities, the more his heart raced with dread.Grace commanded an intelligence organization with immense resources and networks. She could easily cut off his sources and deny him access to vital information. If that happened, he would find himself at a severe disadvantage before the succession battle even began.Seamus said calmly, "Your focus has always been on your two brothers. You see them as enemies and spend all your time competing against them and trying to bring them down. "But you neve

    It was midday at the Mosey mansion, and Seamus was sipping tea and reading in the garden after lunch.Just then, an aide approached him and reported, "Sir Mosey, Prince Matthias is here to see you.""Show him in," Seamus replied with a nod. He didn't look surprised, as if he had been expecting his visit."Yes, sir," the aide acknowledged, then left quickly.Moments later, Matthias walked briskly into the back garden."Uncle Seamus! Something major happened in Oakvale last night," he exclaimed before he'd even settled into a chair."What could prompt such concern from you, Your Highness?" Seamus asked as he set aside his book and smiled."Some underground forces led by the Hall of Gods were eliminated last night. Even my businesses were severely affected," Matthias said with a grave expression. He went on, "What's most troubling is how suddenly it all happened. I didn't receive any news in advance. Despite multiple investigations afterward, nothing turned up. I'm utterly baff

    "Dustin, you're not joking, are you?" Grace frowned slightly.His answer had caught her completely off guard, leaving her momentarily speechless."How could I joke about something like this?" Dustin smiled faintly. He went on, "Your brothers are hopeless. They can't shoulder this burden, but you're different. You've got both brains and strength, courage and vision. And you actually care about the people. If you took the throne, you could lead Dragonmarsh to greatness.""Don't be ridiculous." Grace shook her head. "I'm merely a woman. How could I be fit to rule a nation?""What's wrong with being a woman? What makes it impossible?" Dustin countered. He continued eloquently, "Looking back over a thousand years, wasn't there a woman who became ruler? People still speak of her with admiration to this day.""That's different." She shook her head again."Don't worry about whether it's possible—just tell me if you want it. If you do, I'll help you make it happen. I believe under you

    "Oh, Princess Grace. I had nearly forgotten about her," Milton murmured as he nodded thoughtfully.Grace might have been born a woman, but she commanded Valon's complete trust. Not only had she earned a position within the Regal Observatory, but she also secretly controlled Dragonmarsh's most formidable intelligence network.This intelligence organization had always served the royal family exclusively. Even those who knew of its existence dared not speak of it openly, much less interfere with its operations."So few neutral forces remain. If I could bring Grace into my camp, my chances of success would improve considerably." Tristan's eyes narrowed as he calculated the possibilities."Your Highness, Princess Grace is no simple opponent. Winning her allegiance would likely demand a steep price," Milton warned."Recruiting her may prove difficult, but extracting information from her should be manageable enough." A faint smile played across Tristan's lips.From what he understood, G

    Like a passing storm, it came and went in the blink of an eye.From the moment Dustin and Grace returned to Oakvale, it took only a single night for the entire underground faction structure to be completely reshuffled.All previous forces of the Hall of Gods, including their vassals, were uprooted entirely. Hidden masters died without anyone knowing how or when.Before Dustin, now a terrestrial immortal, any disguise or resistance proved futile and meaningless. The great purge they launched together struck fear into foreign powers while sending domestic factions into panic.No one had anticipated such rapid escalation. Many major forces received no advance warning at all. The entire operation struck like a bolt from the blue.This was a critical moment when Tristan was scheming to claim the position of crown prince. The mysterious emergence of such formidable power naturally inspired wariness.In an instant, factions and intelligence agencies began mobilizing to investigate the t
