Chapter 169
Bianca stood by the window inside a lavish hotel suite. Her delicate face was twisted in rage. A disheveled Lewis knelt before her, with a swollen face stained with blood. His teeth had been knocked out, and he managed to stammer out his tale of humiliation and suffering at the West family villa. He recounted Dustin’s blatant insolence and ruthlessness. “Miss Bianca, Dustin...” he said and wheezed through the gaps between his teeth. “He doesn’t respect you! He doesn’t respect anyone! People like him won’t learn their place unless you crush them!” Bianca narrowed her eyes with a chilling ferocity. “Oh Dustin, so you refuse the easy way out and insist on challenging me? Fine! Do you think the world revolves around you? Do you think no one can bring you down? Let me show you—there’s always someone stronger than you in this world.” She had hoped to threaten Dustin into surrendering the guards using the damning evidence. But his indifference showed her that he was not afraid to gamb
Chapter 170
Few martial artists in Lovellia dared to defy the Martial League. Dustin had never heard of Victor Cain. “Who is Victor Cain?” he asked the members of the West family. Lucius’s face grew solemn. “Mr. Cain is no ordinary man. He’s revered as the strongest martial artist in all of Lannopolis—a legendary sovereign grade fighter. He earned the title of National Hero for his exceptional contributions to Lovellia. He once served as the head of the Lannopolis branch of the Martial League. Though he has since retired, his influence and prestige remain unparalleled and command immense respect from martial artists across Lannopolis...” Dustin raised an eyebrow as his interest was piqued. A National Hero—the nation’s pride, bestowed with privileges few could imagine. Yet, what drew Dustin’s attention was the claim that this man was the strongest in Lannopolis. “Master Fox, Mr. Cain has sent the Martial League to arrest you. The situation is dire! You mustn’t resist them. Any violen
Chapter 171
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
Chapter 172
Dustin ignored the noise and strode forward. The eight fighters abandoned all notions of honor and ethics and charged at him altogether. Each had their own signature martial arts technique that targeted different parts of his body. Some aimed for his arms, and others went for his legs. In the blink of an eye, they closed in. Their moves were coordinated and deadly. “F*ck off!” Dustin cursed. Boom! In an instant, a force erupted from him like a nuclear blast. Dust and debris swirled violently and howled like a raging beast. Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! All eight elite martial artists were blasted away as if they were no more than leaves in a hurricane. They were flung into the air and blood spurted out of their mouths as they crashed to the ground. “What?!” The crowd was stunned. Their faces were frozen in disbelief. These eight were Lannopolis’s renowned martial artists. When they joined forces, their combined strength was said to be insurmountable. But
Chapter 173
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
Chapter 174
Dustin was surprised, and Metal Mask’s expression shifted drastically. This man was not just anyone. He was the Master of the Order of the Divine Hall! The two locked eyes. The air between them was heavy with unspoken tension. “Beyond sovereign grade,” Metal Mask uttered coldly. “Likewise,” Dustin said in an equally indifferent tone. Metal Mask frowned, and his mind reeled in disbelief. As the Master of the Order, he surpassed the sovereign grade. It was a realm others could only dream of. When he first learned that Lucas’s only student had reached the sovereign grade, he was startled enough to take action personally. But the reality before him was far more terrifying. Dustin had not just caught up to the sovereign grade… he had surpassed it! ‘This level at this age… this has never happened in three centuries of martial arts history in Lovellia!’ thought Metal Mask. His chest surged with a killing intent so intense it felt suffocating. Lucas’s only stude
Chapter 175
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
Chapter 176
Victor’s hesitation was painfully obvious. He did not dare fight Dustin. The thought of tarnishing his hard-earned reputation or, even worse, losing his life to Dustin, was enough to sap any courage he might have had. He was leaving himself an easy way out. All Dustin needed to do was offer a plausible explanation, and Victor would latch onto it as an excuse. “Why did I kill the Aquila family?” Dustin sneered with a cold face. “The Aquila family was once an underling of the Fox family. They betrayed us and colluded with traitors. They were involved in the slaughter of my entire family. Now, I’ve returned for revenge. An eye for an eye… Does anyone have a problem with that?” At Dustin’s words, the crowd exchanged surprised glances. The Fox family… Was he referring to the Fox family from Grayvale over twenty years ago? No one had expected that there was a survivor from that family… Victor’s face grew serious. The massacre of the Fox family was a complicated affair. An
