Chapter 158
With a teasing smile, Bianca left the Aquila family villa. She would not hurl insults and resort to crude tactics like Elisa, Delia, and Bella.She enjoyed toying with people’s minds, savoring their despair, their impotent rage, and the sight of them spiraling into ruin. She preferred manipulating things from behind the scenes. She rarely took direct action. She found the thrill of doing that more satisfying. … Meanwhile, in the West family villa, the whole family knelt before Dustin.“Master Fox, you must not go to the Aquila family villa at any cost!” said Lucius as he bowed deeply.“Yes, Master Fox, please don’t go to the Aquila family villa!” shouted the other West family members. The West family panicked when they heard that Dustin wanted to go to the Aquila family villa. “The Aquila family is one of the elite families in Lannopolis, and they are very powerful. If you go there unprepared, it will be no less than stepping into a lion’s den! It’ll be very hard for y

“The Panther Gang… Why do they obey Master Fox?” Seated in one of the Panther Gang’s luxurious cars, the West family members were utterly baffled. This was the most powerful gang in Honora! They were a force so dominant that even the most prominent families trod carefully around them. For a small family like the West family, even thinking about provoking them was unthinkable. The West family members had assumed that Dustin did not have strong backing. But they had just witnessed the leader of the Panther Gang personally coming to receive him.It was very hard for them to imagine the kind of influence and power Dustin had that compelled Blake to be so respectful toward him. What was even harder to comprehend was that Dustin had killed Blake’s nephew, and he was obeying Dustin’s orders instead of seeking revenge. Nothing made sense. While they were still in disbelief, the convoy of the Panther Gang arrived outside the Aquila family villa. Inside the villa, Brennan rece

He thought that he knew the situation of the Aquila family very clearly, but he thought that they had ninth grade fighters among them. “Where did you find these experts?” Blake asked.“Well, did you really think that I couldn’t handle Dustin without the Panther Gang?” asked Brennan scornfully. “The forces I can call upon are beyond your comprehension!”After that, he pointed at Dustin. “Attack! Make sure he’s barely alive!” The fighters behind him moved. Blake and the West family members were shocked. Dustin’s face did not change. He let the fighters approach him. Bam! They launched their attacks. Just as they were about to touch Dustin, someone suddenly showed up beside him. With a single piercing glare and an explosive surge of energy, it was as if a volcano had erupted. Bam! Bam! The fighters who attacked Dustin were horrified and shocked. They were sent flying backward by violent force. Everyone at the scene looked shocked when they saw that. To think th

“My father’s skull?” Dustin stared at the skull in the wooden box. His face darkened. He hated nothing more than others using the people close to him to threaten him, even if it was the remains of a family from many years ago. He could not quite believe it. His father had died more than twenty years ago, and his body was nowhere to be found. How did Brennan Aquila, patriarch of the Aquila family, get his skull? “You don’t believe me?” As if Brennan expected Dustin’s reaction, he took out a few pictures and threw them at Dustin. Dustin caught them and looked at them. The pictures were of a decapitated corpse! The corpse had a similar face to Dustin’s. The face looked angry and shocked, with its eyes wide open. Dustin felt as though someone had just hit him in the gut. Never had he imagined that his first glimpse of his father would be of his mutilated body. In an instant, rage surged within him. “That’s how your father died!” Brennan sneered. “Your father was beh

Did Dustin not care about the skull? As Dustin was about to close in on him, Brennan’s face grew vicious. “You made me do this!” he roared and tightened his grip on the skull to crush it. In that instant, Dustin vanished in a flash. Right after, there was a cold flash of steel. Brennan was holding onto nothing. He felt a cold chill where his arm was supposed to be. He turned to see something flying through the air. That was his arm. The shock of it overwhelmed him. He felt a chill go up to his head. The skull fell from his hand, and Dustin caught it. “That’s impossible…” Brennan’s face was filled with fear and disbelief. No average person could close that distance within such a short time, not even a sovereign grade fighter! How did Dustin do it? It should have taken only a fraction of a second, but Brennan had not even been able to crush the skull in his hand. Brennan stumbled backward with a pale face. The pain of losing his arm was not as great as the f

“Who was behind it all?” Dustin asked. “I don’t know,” said Brennan and shook his head. Dustin scowled and was just about to gesture to Blake to continue his killing when Brennan cried out anxiously, “I really don’t know! I’m not the only one. Most of the people who participated in the operation don’t know either. That person never showed his face. We only know that the order was passed down through the ranks. We don’t even know who exactly gave the order and who led everyone through it. “Many of the people who took part were drawn in by a bounty post on the global black market. We received a notification and gathered in one place before doing what we needed to do.” Dustin narrowed his eyes. The mastermind had acted with caution. Even if he made use of the special privilege given to him as the King of Hades to look into the global black market, the bounty was put up more than twenty years ago, and he might not be able to find any clues. “The bounty was put up anonymously.

Dustin sneered. “Certainly not. If you tell me, I can leave one person alive, but if you don’t, I’m going to annihilate your entire family.” Brennan’s face turned grim, but in the end, he could only sigh. Then, he whispered, “I can tell you that the person who gave the orders that day was someone with a red spider lily tattoo on the back of his hand.” Dustin’s face froze. Some organizations used tattoos to mark their members. That was a very common thing. But he had never heard of any organization that used a red spider lily tattoo on the backs of their hands. Dustin turned to Drake. “My Liege, I’ve never heard of such an organization before,” said Drake and bowed to him. “Look into it,” Dustin said. “Understood.” Drake left. “Anything else?” Dustin looked at Brennan. Brennan had a complicated look on his face. In the end, he said regretfully, “If I could turn back time, I would have made sure the Aquila family never took part in something like this.” Dustin’s f

Bianca was in a five-star luxury hotel six miles away from the Aquila family. In a presidential suite, she soaked in a bathtub. Her phone was right beside her. She was feeling great today and hummed a cheerful tune. She had no idea what had happened to the Aquila family. She did not care. She was certain that things would progress according to her plan. She had always looked down on Dustin and regarded him with disdain. Even if Dustin was no longer the person he was from the past, she still looked down on him. So, she believed that the last resort that she had provided the Aquila family with was enough to keep Dustin in check. “I told Brennan to keep Dustin alive. I’m going to toy with him on behalf of my cousins until he sinks into despair!” Bianca sneered. Soon, her phone rang. Bianca answered it. When she heard the news, her face changed. “What? Dustin left the Aquila family unharmed?!” she cried out in disbelief. Once she confirmed the news, she stood up from the
