The crowd erupted in an uproar as soon as Dustin spoke. “Such arrogance!” “Shameless fool!” “Who do you think you are? Reckless brat!” … The elite martial artists sprang to their feet and berated Dustin furiously. The Lannopolis martial arts community had judged its fair share of notorious martial artists who had committed crimes before, but none had been as cheeky as Dustin. With so many powerful elites present, the Martial League keeping order, and Lannopolis’s strongest fighters presiding over the proceedings, most would struggle to hold themselves upright, let alone speak. “Dustin Fox, do you even know where you are? Do you think you’re still in Rivenesco? It’s one thing to dismiss these elite martial artists, but Mr. Cain? You’re not just arrogant. You’re laughable.” Bianca sneered mockingly. Dustin remained nonchalant and unfazed by the commotion around him. “National Hero, huh? Lannopolis’s so-called strongest fighter? Well, I’m unimpressed,” he said d

Dustin had just issued a direct challenge to Victor, Lannopolis’s strongest fighter. None of the elite martial artists present could match Dustin’s strength. Only Victor stood a chance. “Mr. Cain, please step forward to teach him a lesson!” Bianca said and bowed deeply in respect. With all the other fighters defeated, Victor was the only one left who could bring Dustin to justice. Bianca held an unwavering faith in this towering figure of Lannopolis’s martial arts world and was confident he could beat Dustin. “Mr. Cain, we are no match for him! You are Lannopolis’s last hope! Step forward and show this b*stard the true strength of Lannopolis’s legend!” said the elite martial artists sprawled on the ground. Victor could no longer sit idle under such circumstances. The strongest fighter in Lannopolis rose slowly to his feet like a slumbering lion roused from its rest. His imposing aura surged outward and commanded reverence from all who beheld him. “So young, and so

The Cain family villa fell into complete silence. Dustin and Metal Mask’s combat was brutal and intense. It shook the very foundation of everyone present. When Metal Mask was sent flying by Dustin’s ferocious strike, the crowd could not help but shudder. If that punch had landed on one of them, they would have been torn apart on the spot. Metal Mask lay motionless after being hurled into the rubble. Dustin’s face was cold as he sprinted out of the Cain family villa. He swept his palm across the debris that buried Metal Mask and scattered them with ease, only to find the space underneath empty. “I just lifted the suppression and didn’t manage to control my strength… I let him escape,” he muttered in displeasure. Metal Mask was clearly connected to the assassins who had slaughtered the Aquila family, and this particular assassin was above sovereign grade. He was undoubtedly a key figure. If he had been captured and interrogated, Dustin could have uncovered some valuable i

There was an underground domain in Lannopolis, which was also a secret stronghold of the Divine Hall. It was fortified with impenetrable security. Metal Mask entered with a steady pace. Everywhere he passed, the people bowed deeply and greeted him. “Sir, you’ve returned! Did you capture Lucas’s only student?” asked the elite assassin of the Divine Hall, codenamed Ace, who stepped forward and bowed. In his mind, the Master of the Order was unmatched in strength, which meant he would absolutely succeed in subduing the Fox family’s heir. Metal Mask glanced at him. He then suddenly coughed up blood and swayed unsteadily. Ace was shocked. He rushed to support him and helped him to his seat. “Sir, what happened? How were you injured?” he asked in disbelief. He had never seen Metal Mask this hurt before. No one in Honora was capable of wounding him. “I underestimated him,” Metal Mask said gravely. “The Fox family’s heir has surpassed the sovereign grade. He’s already a Martial S

“Keep an eye on her every move and report back to me immediately,” Dustin ordered one of the Hell Guards as they exited the alley. Although he had given Bianca three days, he was not going to wait around. Someone as arrogant as Bianca would only grow more insolent under direct threats. His ultimatum was a deliberate trap. It was paired with round-the-clock surveillance to ensure she led them straight to his father’s remains. After issuing his orders, Dustin returned to the West family villa. Recently, the West family had been rising to prominence with his support. Most members were now preoccupied with various affairs, and the villa was quieter during the day. “Master Fox…” Irene stood by a pillar and called out to him softly. She was still struggling to address him like that. The young man she had once recruited from a bar had now become “Master Fox” to the West family. Lucius wanted everyone in the family to show Dustin the utmost respect. This left Irene feeling awkwa
