Zephyr Lodge, on the outskirts of town, was now the base for Kirin Gang.Dustin had gone there to lay low after he left the Hill family residence. The Hills were upset. So, there was no point in trying to explain himself to them. The best course of action was to uncover the truth to prove his innocence. Who was the one who murdered Paul? Why did the murderer set him up? With those questions in mind, Dustin ordered everyone in Kirin Gang to uncover the truth. Everyone available was sent out to gather information. Time was of the essence. They had to stabilize the situation before things got worse. "Sir Rhys!" Nelson barged into the meeting room with sweat running down his face. "Sir Rhys! We've got trouble! The Hills and their men are headed for Zephyr Lodge!""So soon?" Dustin frowned.They had just started using Zephyr Lodge as their base. Only a handful of people knew its location. He never thought they would be able to track him down within mere hours. It was obvious

There were just slightly more than a thousand people from the alliances. However, the disciples of the Kirin Gang added up to over five thousand people.Skills aside, just their numbers alone were enough to scare their opponents. Those clamoring to kill Dustin earlier on now kept their mouths shut. The people from Kirin Gang not only had knives with them. Some of the elites even had firearms. Unless one was a grandmaster, they could not hold up against those weapons."Sir Rhys, are you alright?" Cornelius and a group of elites from Kirin Gang rushed up to Dustin. They formed a circle around him, protecting him from the crowd. "I'm fine." Dustin shook his head. If he wished to leave, no one could stop him. But he might have to live with the label of a murderer and be hated by everyone for the rest of his life. "Dustin! Do you honestly think your underlings can fend off the Hill family's hidden guards?" Spring took a step forward aggressively. Though the Kirin Gang had the

If Ronald hadn't calmed the crowd and bought Dustin some time to investigate, violence would've erupted. Things would be vastly different if that happened. "Dustin, I can't help you openly. But if you ever run into any problems, you may come to me in private," Ronald told him sincerely."Thank you, Sir Reeds." Dustin was thankful. "Now that things have come to this, you should watch your back." Ronald shook his head and sighed before walking away. The crowd came quickly and left just as quickly. Once they saw Dustin swallow the Septemortis, they knew he would die. It no longer mattered to them whether he was guilty. "Sir Rhys, you were too rash to take the poison! Why would you risk your life like that?" Cornelius sighed heavily. He really couldn't understand why Dustin would take the pill."All the elites from Balerno and Glenstead martial arts alliance were gathered here. Even with all of you here, you won't be able to stop them," Dustin answered calmly."Even if we ca

"Yay! We're going to the theme park tomorrow!" Haley cheered excitedly when she heard Dustin's reply. She didn't forget to thank him sincerely too. "Thank you, Uncle Dustin! I wish you the best of luck and happiness and that you can rest in peace." "Rest in peace?" Natasha was first taken aback for a moment before she burst into laughter.The child was too entertaining!"What nonsense are you spouting? I think you mean to wish him a good and peaceful rest!" Nelson shot her a look and quickly corrected her."I'm so sorry, Mr. Rhys! She didn't mean what she said. Please don't take it to heart," Cecilia immediately apologized.She worried he might be offended to hear something like that when he was hospitalized."That's alright. She means no harm." Dustin smiled warmly, not offended in the least. "Uncle Dustin, it's my birthday tomorrow. Will you join us to celebrate my birthday?" Haley cocked her head and asked innocently. "Sure! I'll be there!" Dustin ruffled her hair affe

"That night, I was too impulsive and unintentionally hit you. I should apologize." Dahlia bit her lip.Changing the topic, she continued, "Nonetheless, everything I do is for your own good. Mr. Killian comes from a prominent background. If you hit him, you'd only cause trouble for yourself." "Gavin does have some status, but that doesn't mean I fear him," Dustin said indifferently."Dustin, Mr. Killian isn't as ordinary as you think. You can't afford to offend someone as important as him!" Dahlia warned.Gavin was a successful young man from an influential family. He also has a high rank and even commanded a massive troop. With just one order, he could command the entire troop to go against someone.To offend someone like that was equivalent to digging one's own grave."You can think whatever you want. If you think I can't afford to offend him, then so be it." Dustin didn't want to explain himself. He knew that no matter what he said, Dahlia wouldn't believe him. "What? Yo
