"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you agree with what I said?" Dustin's final glimmer of hope disappeared along with Dahlia's silence. He'd given her a chance to explain herself, but she didn't give him the answer he wanted. "I'm sorry. I have my reasons." Dahlia felt her heart bleeding, and breathing became difficult. "Reasons?" Dustin sneered. "What could make you sell your body? What could stop you from explaining things to me?" "I'm sorry … I'm sorry …" Dahlia sobbed, anguished. "Don't apologize to me. We're already divorced, so I have no right to control anything you do, and you didn't betray me." Dustin's face gradually turned hard. "However, please don't ever bother me again. I'm still human. I can't keep being hurt by you. So, won't you please let me go?" "I …" Dahlia didn't know what to say. Perhaps the best thing for her to do now was to completely cut ties with him since she had no choice but to yield to Luis for her brother, her family, and Dustin. Still, she'

The man's arrogant gaze swept the room. "I'm Dustin. May I know why you're here?" Dustin glanced at the man before continuing to drink. "I'm a messenger of Boulderthorn's Royal Valor. We want to challenge you to a duel. You killed Joshua Hummer, our seventh disciple, so something has to be done. My senior will be visiting Swinton to challenge you to a duel to the death!" the man declared haughtily, throwing them a piece of paper. As a well-known guild, they had to do things publicly, including exacting revenge. They were also going to use this opportunity to show off their power. "You can take that back. I'm not interested." Dustin refused without even looking at the paper. "Are you scared?" The other man sneered. "Weren't you brave when you killed Joshua? Why are you shying away after hearing that my senior is your opponent?" "As if. I don't even know who your senior is," Dustin replied calmly. "I'll tell you right now. His name is Tatum Thunders, and his name can be fou

The old man patted the dust off his body in a poised manner. "That was a wonderful fight!" The young girl excitedly clapped after Ralph won. She turned to Dustin and Maximus. "See? Isn't my grandpa amazing?" "Abby, did you see my palm strikes just now? Those are our guild's signature moves. You'll amaze the world when you finally learn it," Ralph said loudly. "I'll work hard to meet your expectations, Grandpa!" Abby nodded fervently. "Oh, and they are?" Ralph turned his attention to Dustin and Maximus."They're passersby who were being nosy, but I stopped them in time. With their abilities, they'll only be a bother," Abby explained."I see." Ralph gave them a look over. "Treacherous bandits and ferocious beasts always roam this mountain. You two shouldn't run around carelessly." "Thanks for the advice. We'll make a move since you're safe." Dustin thanked them and spun around to leave. "Hold on!" Abby suddenly called out. "You're here to watch the fight between Tatum and,

Abby humphed. "Stop pretending when you don't know anything." She rolled her eyes. "We'll know who's better soon enough!" "Even if Dustin doesn't win against Tatum, he's still a rare genius, so we should still respect him," the man from earlier said. "You're right. Just getting Tatum to challenge him to a duel is a feat of its own. Otherwise, Boulderthorn wouldn't have wasted so much energy on this." "I heard that he's only around twenty. It's extremely rare to see someone that age reach divinity. He's practically a genius!" "Even if he doesn't win against Tatum, it will be an honorable defeat." Everyone began to chip in their opinions. Although they were sure Dustin would lose to Tatum, they still acknowledged the former's talents and skills. "I heard that Dustin doesn't have a guild and is self-taught. He's bound to shine if he enters Ironshade!" one said. Another chuckled. "Ironshade only has around a hundred disciples. A talent like him would be wasted there." Someo

The sword clanked as it moved. Right when it was about to cut Maximus' neck, a hand reached out and caught it. "Hm?" Brody lifted his gaze, and his eyes immediately shook in fear. "I-it's you!" He had been too focused on Maximus to notice the legend standing behind the man. "Is it worth grieving over a woman who doesn't deserve it?" Dustin ignored Brody and stared straight at Maximus. "If what you want is death, I can grant your wish. I shall forget ever having saved a useless thing as you. But, if you have any bit of ego left in you, as a man, you should stand up straight. You don't look a bit like a swordsman right now, even though you once said you wanted to be the best swordsman in the world! Wake up!" Then, he gave Maximus a hard slap, sending the latter trembling from the impact. He seemed to have slapped some sense into Maximus, whose eyes had a new sparkle in them. He noticed Brody's mean and murderous look, and he took in the look of disgust in Caitlyn's eyes. Finally, h
