Vienlock Toxin was a truly cruel poison. It left the victim conscious and forced them to slowly experience their demise. It was a fate far crueler than an instant death. “It’s a rare poison crafted by the Five Venoms Sect. It’s seldom used. It has only been used twice in history,” Dustin said in a calm but sharp voice. “The Five Venoms Sect?” Gasps filled the room as faces paled. “But didn’t they get wiped out years ago?” Once a notorious cult of evil, the Five Venoms Sect had been eradicated by the Martial League. Gareth furrowed his brow skeptically. He looked visibly unconvinced. “The Five Venoms Sect has been gone for decades. You can say whatever you like. If you’re so capable, then save Mr. McCall first. Words mean nothing.” “Mr. Dox, please,” Allison said pleadingly. Her voice cracked in desperation. Her tear-filled eyes searched for hope. “Save my grandfather… I’ll do anything you want!” Dustin cast a scornful glance at Gareth before stepping toward the

Before his words had even fully escaped his lips, he had already made his move. The Elders of the Netherworld were notorious for their vicious Eagle Talon Technique, and one of them aimed to cripple Dustin’s arms with a single strike. Dustin’s gaze turned cold, and he waited until the man was nearly upon him before making his move. With a swift motion, he grabbed the attacking hand in midair. The Elder seemed shocked, but before he could react, Dustin twisted his hand with force. “Ahh!!!” In an instant, the Elder’s hand twisted disturbingly, and his bones shattered. His hand was permanently crippled. He would never be able to perform the Eagle Talon Technique ever again. The scene stunned everyone present. How could there be such a vast difference in skill, even between two Legendary Martial Saints? The Elders of the Netherworld had been notorious for years. They were responsible for countless deaths. How could they be so easily defeated on their first strike? T

“I once made a vow. Whoever could save my grandfather, I would offer myself to them. Tonight, I am here to fulfill that promise…” Allison’s cheeks flushed. Her beauty was made even more irresistible by the shy vulnerability in her gaze. Dustin froze. Was she serious? How was anyone supposed to maintain composure in the face of such boldness? “Miss, I…” Before he could finish, he was gently but firmly pushed into the room. She used her slender leg to push the door close. Then, she approached Dustin. Dustin swallowed hard. The temptation was overwhelming. If not for his steadfast principles, he might have already lost control. ‘She must be too warm… That’s why she’s removed her outer robe… She doesn’t mean anything else…’ he thought to himself. “Sir, to give myself to you is my honor,” Allison whispered in her low and sultry voice. Every syllable dripped with allure. Every movement and every glance she cast at him was like adding fuel to a fire that Dustin

“Trying to use stealth against me? You’re far from qualified,” Dustin said coldly. Brutus’s face shifted from cocky confidence to growing frustration as he swiftly ingested an antidote and prepared for another attempt to vanish into the shadows. Dustin calmly set Allison down, and with a burst of speed, he shot forward. He was faster than the eye could follow. Brutus’s face twisted in alarm as he hurriedly scattered a rainbow of toxic powders. Each one was potent enough to kill. Yet, Dustin moved through the poisonous haze without hesitation. Bam! With a swift motion, Dustin seized Brutus by the throat and slammed him hard against the wall. “You’ve been exposed to at least five of my strongest poisons. Any moment now, you’ll start bleeding from every orifice,” said Brutus and sneered confidently. His lips curled into a malicious grin. Dustin said dismissively. “When it comes to toxins, you’re the amateur here.” Lucas had tested every poison under the sun on him

“Miss Allison, is this your friend? You’re aware that everyone attending this gathering is admitted strictly by invitation...” said the doorman with thinly veiled displeasure. Allison was known for her distant and untouchable persona. Even the most prominent heirs in Grayvale struggled to approach her. Seeing someone like Dustin standing so close to her was enough to spark envy and resentment. “He’s…” Allison glanced at Dustin and blushed as she hesitated. She was unsure how to explain their relationship. Her hesitation only fueled the doorman’s irritation. His expression darkened further. No way... Could someone as beautiful as her... with someone like him… There was no way… As the thought festered, his jealousy intensified. He was even more reluctant to let Dustin in. “This is Fustin Dox,” Allison said after regaining her composure. “He’s currently staying with the McCall family as a guest.” The doorman’s eyes widened. He barely registered the rest of her exp
