Dustin moved in a flash. His speed was so fast that the naked eye could barely keep up. This was his full speed when dodging. This was the limit of his physical ability when it came to evasion. The bullet brushed past his skull. Bang! It hit the thick tree behind him. The truck of the tree was so thick that even two people could barely encircle in. The moment the bullet hit it, it exploded into a million pieces. That alone showed the power that far surpassed a normal bullet. Dustin was surprised. Metal Mask was even more surprised than he was. “You managed to dodge it?” Clearly, he could not believe it. If he was not expecting it, he himself would not have been able to dodge the bullet. With a fierce look, Metal Mask pointed the gun at Dustin again and pulled the trigger. But Dustin was ready for it. He moved in a flash, and Metal Mask was unable to aim at him properly. In an instant, Dustin arrived in front of Metal Mask. A cold light glinted, and in the blin
Dustin was genuinely surprised. Star Tower was no mere third ranked organization. Lovellia controlled a huge territory, and within it, all sorts of organizations, families, gangs, groups, clans, and others. Based on the overall strength of each organization, these groups could be classified as such: unranked, fourth ranked, third ranked, second ranked, first ranked, and top ranked. Rivenesco was not a large city. While the Wyatt family and the Zimmer family were the strongest families in Rivenesco, they were really just third ranked families. On another note, first ranked organizations were incredible. Lovellia’s huge clans and families all had great power and authority, and they were classified as first ranked organizations. Meanwhile, top ranked organizations were so few that they could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Any of the top ranked organizations was beyond the scope of mere power or influence of normal organizations. They usually commanded extraordinary
Victor was a smart man with great influence in Lannopolis. Winning him over would do Dustin no harm. Victor was delighted. “Thank you, Master Dustin!” he said gratefully. Dustin waved him off, and Victor left with a smile. “Dustin!” At that moment, someone shouted furiously. It was Timothy. He walked in with Mark’s body. His face shone with anger. “Did you kill my uncle?” he demanded. Dustin shot him a cold look. “I did,” he said indifferently. “He shouldn’t have stood in my way. Since he did, and he was so arrogant about it, it was annoying, so I killed him,” Dustin said as if he had done nothing special. “You…” Timothy was livid. His face turned savage. He had refused to believe that Dustin had killed Mark, and he had come here to demand an answer despite his doubts. Since he had gotten his answer, it enraged him. He wanted to kill Dustin, but Dustin had managed to kill one of the strongest of the Bones family. Timothy was just a ninth grade fighter. How c
In an inconspicuous alley in Lannopolis’s downtown area, Elisa and Jaxon walked. The end of the alley was in sight, and they continued forward. “The entrance to the black market of Lannopolis is right this way.” Jaxon was Elisa’s guide as he pointed at the wall in front of them. When they approached it, Jaxon brought out a black card and swiped it at the wall. It let out a beep. “Permission to enter.” The wall parted to show a door. When they went in, they saw a different world. The black market was just as lively as the downtown area. “Black markets exist in every major city, and all sorts of people and organizations are gathered here, be they from the underground world or from the lawful society. The rules here are different from the outside world. It’s a mix of light and darkness,” said Jaxon as they continued walking. “Over here, you can find all sorts of things that are banned by law in the outside world. There aren’t any limitations here, so you can say it’s a place
“Listen up! Beat him up really good!” Elisa said. She knew that Dustin was a great fighter, and she also knew that these guards could not possibly defeat him. But that was fine. She wanted to force Dustin’s hand, and it would be great if someone died because the consequences of someone being murdered in the black market for no reason were dire. That meant that the murderer had broken the terrifying organization’s rule, and it would be impossible for them to survive. The guards heard Elisa and grew brutal. The others picked up weapons and rushed toward Dustin. Jaxon might have told them to kick him out, but they were going to cut him up real good before that. Dustin stood motionless with a steely face. He did not need to do anything against these ants. Whoosh! The Hell Guard who had been waiting for his orders in the dark showed up. After just sweeping past the guards once, they fell to the floor, and none of them were able to get up again. Jaxon’s face turned dark.
“The black market’s rules state that except in self-defense, no one is allowed to kill anyone else in the black market. This person disregarded the rules and is showing blatant disrespect for you! He looks down on the entire black market!” Jaxon said accusingly. Ian pulled a long face at that. He turned to Dustin and gave off an intimidating aura. “Did you have your guards kill this person?” he asked as if he was interrogating Dustin. Dustin looked at Ian and said nothing. “It’s him, alright! Plenty of people saw it too! They are our witnesses!” Elisa cried out. “Captain Wilson, arrest this person and sentence him for his crimes! Punish him!” Ian glared at Elisa in displeasure. “I know how to do my job.” With that said, he waved his hand. The law enforcers immediately moved forward and surrounded Dustin. “If you say nothing, we will have to sentence you to death,” Ian said impatiently. Dustin chuckled and stared at him. “Do you recognize me?” Dustin asked. Ian
That was something that had never happened in Lannopolis’s black market before. Dustin had challenged the leader of the black market, and it had been terrifying. Even after a long time passed, no one dared say anything. Elisa and Jaxon were both rendered speechless by Dustin’s fearlessness. They had wanted the law enforcers to punish him. Who would have thought that he would kill them, including the captain? Was murder the only thing in his mind? Did he have no brain cells whatsoever up in his head? “Who else are you going to call? Summon them,” Dustin said coldly. Jaxon’s face changed rapidly. Then, he sneered and said, “Go and bring the manager of the black market over here!” The manager of the black market had the highest position in the black market. Not only did the position symbolize great status, but he also had to be one of the most powerful precisely because he represented Hell Hall. If Dustin dared to attack the manager, he would surely die! Even if a firs
Orville was terrified out of his wits. Who would not be when the King of Hades was mad? “Mr. Fox asked you a question!” shouted the Hell Guard beside Dustin. Thud! Orville fell to his knees and did not dare to look up. “I’m sorry, Mr. Fox! Please forgive me!” he said in a trembling voice. In an instant, everyone fell silent. Some people’s jaws fell slack in dumbfounded shock. Others froze up. Elisa and Jaxon were among them. Their minds were completely blank. Orville was a person of high status in Hell Hall! Considering the organizations in Lannopolis, he was basically someone who could practically bring the whole place to its knees! But Orville apologized to Dustin, and he even looked terrified doing it! How could this be possible? No one could believe what they were seeing. What sort of status did Dustin have to make Orville respect him so much? “What’s going on? This is impossible!” Elisa was about to tear her hair out in frustration. Why was Dustin
Dustin observed what was going on at the front desk on the security feed on his screen. Adrian arrived at the front desk. “Mr. Pierce, you’re here.” The receptionist nodded at Adrian, and Adrian nodded back. Crispin and the driver, Nicholas Olson, assessed Adrian. “What a self-important person the general manager of Duscia Corporation is! How dare you make Mr. Tonra wait downstairs?” Nicholas asked in displeasure. Adrian did not spare the driver a single glance. He could not be bothered to speak with an insignificant staff member. If Dustin had not given him the orders, he would have chased these two out already. “You’re the general manager of Duscia Corporation, Adrian Pierce, yes?” Crispin looked at Adrian contemptuously. “I’ve never heard of the Pierce family having a person with your name. You’re quite capable of fooling the families of Hattan so easily with the same last name.” Thinking that he had dirt on Adrian, Crispin smiled very tauntingly. “What are yo
“I find it all quite interesting. This Duscia Corporation, this fake rich kid… Let’s go take a look.” “Yes, sir.” At around 2 p.m., the Lamborghini stopped at the entrance of Duscia Corporation. The young man walked into the building with his driver. “Hello, sir. How can I help you?” the receptionist asked. “This is the son of the Tonra family of Articora. Have the person in charge of your company come and welcome him,” the driver announced loudly. “Do you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked with a smile. “What?” The young man, Crispin Tonra, immediately frowned. “What kind of receptionist are you? Haven’t you heard of the Tonra family of Articora? Mr. Tonra of the ultra-rich Tonra family doesn’t need an appointment to come to your company. Go and tell your boss about his arrival. Have the person in charge rush over here to welcome Mr. Tonra,” yelled the driver at the receptionist. “I’m sorry. The person in charge of our company is very busy. All guests mu
The great Dhillon family of Hattan was destroyed just like that. It was said that Kendall had become a useless cripple and would have to spend the rest of his days relegated to bed. He could not even move, and there was nothing that could be done to treat him. The other families in Hattan thought that it was the ultra-rich Cabello family of Summerdale that had done this. They were impressed at how powerful the Cabello family was and pitied the Dhillon family. It was true that one could not afford to offend a family like that. After spending a day at the hotel, Dustin took Patricia back to their apartment in the suburbs. The place had been cleaned up and was immaculate. All the damage from the fight had been fixed, and everything looked good as new. Patricia was a strong woman. Thus, she recovered from her ordeal very quickly. She even went to work right after. Dustin went to Duscia Corporation, and Adrian reported to him. “It’s impossible for the Dhillon family to mak
A life like that would be worse than anything. To put it crudely, it would be a luxury for Kendall to be able to kill himself. This was the consequence of daring to hurt Patricia. Dustin went to stand before Patricia and reached out to touch the red veil surrounding her. With a plop, the light burst like a bubble, and Patricia landed on the floor. “Dustin,” Patricia called. She threw herself into Dustin’s embrace. She cried softly as she held onto Dustin tightly. “You’re alright,” Dustin said comfortingly as he patted her on the back. Patricia did not speak. She clung to Dustin without letting go. She had just realized that she could not live without Dustin in her life. Before that moment, she had been so worried about Dustin and wanted him to leave without coming in. It would not have mattered if she had died because of it. She finally understood. She had long accepted Dustin into her heart. After a long time in Dustin’s embrace, Patricia finally cal
“What is this?!” Kendall was fearful. He wanted to kill Patricia and make Dustin suffer along with him. At the very least, he wanted Dustin to regret this for the rest of his life. That way, he would still feel as if he had won somehow. However, when he tried to cut Patricia, a weird red light appeared around her and blocked her from him. The red light pushed Kendall away from Patricia, and he could not get close. “What?!” Kendall was baffled. After experiencing Dustin’s terrifying power, Kendall’s worldview had been upended. That was bad enough. But even after deciding to go all out and kill Patricia, something like this was still happening. What was even going on? Kendall was on the verge of going crazy. Patricia looked at her body bathed in red. The warm light surrounded her like a veil and stopped Kendall from hurting her. “Is it because of this?” Patricia was in disbelief as she suddenly thought of something. Dustin had won the auction for a blood
“My bones are broken! It hurts!” “My leg is broken!” In an instant, the six henchmen had been crippled. From start to finish, none of Kendall’s eight henchmen managed to get close enough to even touch Dustin before they were crippled. Also, the fight was too quick. It had been barely a minute since Dustin stepped into the apartment. “How could this happen? Is he some kind of monster?” Kendall’s eyes widened. He did not realize that there could be such a powerful martial artist in the world. It was so terrifying. Dustin had the kind of skills that seemed only plausible in books or the kind of power that was even greater… Kendall could not puzzle it out, and so he was absolutely frightened. He had wanted to take revenge on Dustin, so he abducted Patricia. He thought that, with enough preparation, he would succeed in getting Dustin to beg him for mercy. He never expected that things would turn out this way. Dustin looked at Kendall icily, and the latter could no
Dustin put his key into the lock. Inside the apartment, Kendall tensed. He gave the goons by the door a meaningful look to tell them to stay ready. The two goons by the door were big and brawny. Neither of them was someone to be messed with. Kendall believed that Dustin, with his small build, would be easily apprehended the moment he walked through the door. There was a creak as the door opened. Dustin slowly swung the door open and stepped into the apartment. Immediately, he saw Patricia tied up and with a panicked look on her face. He also saw Kendall standing at the side, looking all pleased. “Get him!” Kendall ordered. The two brawny goons by the door jumped out and pounced on Dustin viciously. Looking unaffected, Dustin ignored the goons and side-stepped his two attackers. The goons missed him completely. The two goons looked stunned. With a crash, they sprawled out on the floor. They landed so hard that it felt like the floor shook with several qua
Patricia had learned a lot about cooking from Dustin. That day, she was prepared to make a feast and show off her cooking skills to Dustin. Patricia could not help but chuckle when she imagined Dustin smiling happily while eating her food. As she drove out of the city and toward the suburbs, the number of cars on the road lessened. When she turned a corner, a car suddenly flew out toward her. Patricia frantically hit the brakes and narrowly avoided the other car. Patricia was pale-faced, and her heart was beating fast. She was about to get out of the car to check things out when a familiar figure exited from the other car. “Kendall?” Patricia frowned. She did not like Kendall at all, and she immediately became wary. Then, several other people exited Kendall’s car. After a while, Patricia’s car drove toward her and Dustin’s place in the suburbs, with Kendall’s car beside hers. It was the first time that so many people were in their humble home. From the loo
After Amadeus and Kendall left Duscia Corporation, the Dhillon family’s businesses started failing even faster. It was not only because of external factors. There were various issues internally as well. The shareholders all gave up their shares one after the other and added to the disaster. The Dhillon family knew that this was only happening because of Duscia Corporation. Amadeus took his family members and went to each of the other families in Hattan. He begged them for help. Yet, everyone rejected them cruelly. Some did not even have the courtesy to open their door to them. No one wanted to help them. Even the insignificant families they despised dared to be rude to them. With banks refusing their loan applications, the Dhillon family was desperate. They initially thought that Duscia Corporation would suffer with them no matter how powerful it was, and it would experience losses as well. However, Duscia Corporation had no such trouble while they were on the verge of destr
