Chapter 1027
Author: Marina Vittori
"What bullshit!"

"Mrs. Lansky glared at her. "How can you compare that little bastard to my precious son? A strand of hair on his body is worth more than her life!

"I'm warning you, grovel on your feet and apologize now! Or you won't like what's going to happen to you!"

"Mrs. Lansky! Can you be reasonable? It's clearly your son's fault. Why should we be the ones to apologize?" Cecilia said with a frown.

Without hesitation, Mrs. Lansky delivered a harsh slap across Cecilia's face.

She yelled, "I told you to apologize, so just apologize! What's all this nonsense? If you challenge me again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"You—" Cecilia clenched her teeth, seething in anger.

She didn't expect Mrs. Lansky to be so unreasonable. Not only did they refuse to apologize for their mistake, they even resorted to violence.

They were being too much!

"Don't hit my mum!" Haley stood in front of her mother with outstretched hands.

She looked angry. "You're a bad person! An old witch! I'm

    The unexpected scene shocked everyone present. Nobody could have predicted that someone would actually hit Mrs. Lansky's son.Everyone knew that Mrs. Lansky was infamous for being a tyrant in this area. Nobody dared to offend her. "Oh my God! My son!" After a momentary shock, Mrs. Lansky screamed. She rushed forward clumsily and wrapped the disoriented, chubby kid in her arms.The little kid now had a crooked nose and busted lips. His mouth was also covered in blood, with two front teeth missing. Half of his face was extremely red and swollen. "Son! Don't scare me like this! Wake up!" Mrs. Lansky was panicking and pinched his nose repeatedly to wake him up. It was only after he woke up that she calmed down slightly. However, very soon, her expression turned hideous. She screamed, "Who was it that hit my son? Who was it? Reveal yourself!" She turned around, looking like she was about to commit murder."It was me!" Dustin stepped forward with a dark expression.

    The crowd pointed and whispered, astonished at Dustin's outrageous behavior. A simple apology would have resolved this matter. But now, it had escalated into a major issue. With Mrs. Lansky beaten up so badly, Dustin would probably end up with broken limbs. Worse still, he could be buried alive!Dustin delivered another slap that knocked Mrs. Lansky to the ground. He demanded, "Tell me, who exactly are you?"Mrs. Lansky's face was beaten up so badly that she felt dizzy and disoriented. She couldn't even tell left from right. "Stop it!" Right then, the kindergarten's headmistress pushed through the crowd in a frantic rush. Seeing Mrs. Lansky's swollen face, she was shocked and quickly helped her onto a chair. "Oh my, Mrs. Lansky! What happened to you? Who did this to you?"Mrs. Lansky's arm shook as she pointed at Dustin."How dare you!" The headmistress turned around and roared, "Who are you? How dare you lay your hands on Mrs. Lansky? Do you have any idea of the troub

    Dustin's words were impactful! It left Mrs. Prewitt trembling as she alternated between anger and embarrassment.Some parents, whom Mrs. Prewitt had repressed in the past secretly applauded. They found immense satisfaction in this turn of events. They were happy she finally had a taste of her own medicine since she always looked down on them. "You impudent bastard! Just who the hell are you? How dare you lecture me!"Mrs. Prewitt fumed, and her temper flared. "Just you wait and see! "I will expel Haley from this kindergarten and blacklist her! I will make sure she will never get an education in her lifetime! I'm going to blacklist all of you!""Blacklist?" Dustin scoffed. He kicked Mrs. Prewitt down to the ground."Why don't you try? I'd like to see just how capable you are!"Mrs. Prewitt landed on her bottom. Scrambling to her feet, she yelled with a strained voice, "Security! Security! Where the hell are you? Come quickly!"After hearing her screams, two security guards

    Mrs. Prewitt reminded him. "Jo?" After Vernon took a closer look, his eyes widened instantly. "W-What happened to you?""It was him … That bastard did this to me!" With a trembling hand, Mrs. Lansky pointed at Dustin. Vernon's gaze followed the direction his wife was pointing at. "It was you?" His expression turned dark. "You hit my wife?" he roared. "Yes, it was me." Dustin nodded and admitted to it plainly. "This bitch was being unreasonable. I was only teaching her a lesson.""You've got nerves! How dare you teach my wife a lesson?" Vernon had a dark and hostile look to him. "Why don't you tell me how you plan on dealing with this matter?" Everyone had to show him respect in this area. If Dustin dared hit his wife, he had to either have a powerful background or be a naive hothead.Before being sure of his identity, Vernon had left some room for negotiation. "If this bitch apologizes to us, I'll let today's incident slide," Dustin said impassively. "What? A

    "Huh?" Mrs. Prewitt was in a daze, cradling her cheek and feeling utterly bewildered.Why did Vernon hit her when she was helping him? What on earth was happening?"What are you still standing there for? Apologize!" Vernon landed another slap across her face. He didn't dare provoke influential figures. However, he could easily control an insignificant headmistress. "I-I'm sorry … " Mrs. Prewitt was aggrieved as she gritted out the words. Although she wasn't sure what was going on, it was clear that this bitch was someone important. Otherwise, Inspector Lansky wouldn't have reacted that way. "Ms. Harmon, I apologize for not noticing you earlier." After punishing Mrs. Prewitt, Vernon was full of smiles. "May I know what brings you here, Ms. Harmon?""This is my man, and this is my goddaughter." Natasha didn't hold back her words. "Your wife assaulted my goddaughter earlier. "My man then assaulted your wife in retaliation to protect her. This is considered self-defense,

    Over in a high-end restaurant, several well-dressed young people gathered together. They chatted as they sipped on some wine."Dahlia, I really envy you for being favored by Sir Mosey. Congratulations on becoming his goddaughter!"A young lady dressed in red smiled brightly at Dahlia, appearing very enthusiastic.She was Elena Forrest, the eldest daughter of the Forrest family. The Forrest family was one of Oakvale's eight great families."I heard that Sir Mosey has been in a war for many years and has no kids. You must be extremely talented and kind for him to take you as his goddaughter," a vain-looking man said with a smile. The man was Sean Hoovey, Elena's boyfriend. He was a smooth talker who charmed his way through life."Dahlia, why don't you tell us how you got to know him?" Elena could not contain her curiosity. Sir Mosey generally avoided crowds and was a very reserved person. He was rarely ever seen around large groups of people. Hence, it was shocking to hear tha

    Half an hour later, as Elena was still chatting with Dahlia, she received a call.Upon answering it, she heard Sean's sobbing."Elena … I've been beaten up. Quick, get some men here to back me up. The bastard is wild!""What? Even you were beaten up?" Elena frowned. "What happened? Didn't I send two bodyguards with you?"All her guards were carefully picked. No regular thugs would be able to mess with them.“They weren't much help at all! They were beaten up within seconds! Even I was implicated!" Sean sounded indignant."Didn't you make use of the Forrest family name?" Elena asked."Of course I did! But that only got the rascal beating us up even worse!" Sean cried out amidst sobs."What? He carried on even after knowing you were related to the Forrest family?"Elena was infuriated. "How dare a mere thug behave so arrogantly? Stay there! I'll be there in a bit!""Okay. Hurry! I'll try my best to hold him back," Sean said."Ms. Forrest, sounds like you're in a bit of trouble. Do you ne

    The bodyguards pushed their way violently through the crowd, forcefully clearing a path.When they were finally done clearing a wide and clear path, Elena showed up looking like a princess.She was gorgeous, and the clothes she wore were expensive. Matched with her elegant bearing, it was clear that she was no ordinary person."Elena! You're finally here!"Sean's eyes instantly lit up when he saw her. He quickly went up to her and began groaning, "Look! Look at my face!"See what they've done to me! You must make them pay for this!"Elena reached out and held Sean's chin, turning his face this way and that. Her expression swiftly darkened. "Who was it? Who did this to you?"She had three criteria for her men. First, they must be handsome. Second, they had to be good in bed. And finally, they must be able to please her.Now that Sean's handsome face had been destroyed, it was almost like her personal property had been destroyed. She wouldn't take it sitting down."It was him!

    Mulder's body trembled, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. His energy drained, and his entire being seemed to collapse.Dustin's finger flick had not only shattered his sword but also injured his internal organs. With the effects of the enhanced serum wearing off, Mulder was now back to his original state and completely spent.His once-powerful frame now shrank like a punctured balloon. He looked as if he had aged ten years in an instant. Mulder could no longer fight. Even standing up was a challenge."He's finished," Dustin said coolly, then looked at Warrick. "Now it's your turn.""Hmm?" Warrick frowned, and his expression turned serious.Dustin's display of strength earlier had made him feel a sense of crisis. If they fought head-on, there was no telling who would come out on top.But Warrick was just one step away from escaping West Lucozia, bound for Artea and a life of freedom and luxury. He had no intention of risking his life in battle unless he absolutely

    "This is interesting." Dustin smirked as the dense barrage of swords came slashing down at him. In the blink of an eye, his figure dissolved into a wisp of smoke and vanished.A storm of sword shadows carrying the force that could split rivers and overturn seas crashed down on the fishing boat where he had just been standing. The entire vessel broke apart in an instant—some sinking into the depths while others drifted across the water."What? He dodged it?" Warrick's eyes flickered with surprise.Mulder's attack just now had been a 360-degree attack. Once caught in its range, there was no chance to dodge—only the option to endure. He couldn't understand how Dustin had managed to avoid it. Did he just teleport?"Hiding like a coward? What kind of warrior are you? Come fight me face-to-face."Frustrated after his attack missed again, Mulder grew desperate. His enhanced serum would only last for 15 minutes. If this dragged on, he'd collapse from exhaustion before Dustin even touche

    "Oh? Are we going all out now?" Dustin smirked, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.Mulder, who had advanced to become a grandmaster martial artist through drugs, had a weak foundation. Even after taking the enhanced serum, he still posed no threat to Dustin. If Mulder were a hundred times stronger, he might just barely be able to fight Dustin.As the serum's effects pushed his body to the limit, Mulder suddenly let out a furious roar. His muscles swelled rapidly, and his bones cracked as they expanded. His body grew larger at an alarming rate, and his clothes tore apart under the strain.His six-foot frame stretched to nearly seven feet in mere moments as his body swelled to monstrous proportions. His face twisted fiercely, and his skin darkened as black scales surfaced.With another guttural growl, his roar turned beastlike. He grabbed his shredded shirt and ripped it away, exposing his broad chest covered in dark scales. A faint, eerie sheen flickered across their surface."D

    Dustin's words made Mulder frown.Mulder knew all too well that Warrick was the kind of man who had no sense of loyalty or honor. If Warrick could kill his own personal guards without hesitation, what would stop him from killing a stranger? Mulder was certain that the moment things went south, Warrick would be the first to flee. Given the choice, he'd never willingly risk his life as Warrick's sacrificial pawn. But now, there was no turning back.With his undercover identity exposed and him helping Warrick escape, Mulder became a sworn enemy of West Lucozia. His name was now on the most-wanted list.Tonight was their best chance to escape. If they missed it, finding another way out would be nearly impossible.There was only one path left for him—kill whoever stood in his way and make it onto that escape boat."Enough talk, punk. Let's see what you're really made of," Mulder said.After weighing his options, he gritted his teeth and finally decided to draw his longsword. His fig

    "You had your chance. Don't blame me for what happens next," Dustin said.With a slight squeeze of his fingers, the steel blades clamped between them shattered with a sharp clang.Before the two Hall of Gods members could even react, Dustin waved his hand.The two men were sent flying as if they'd been hit by a truck, hurtling over 30 feet through the air. Blood sprayed from their mouths and noses before they hit the ground. They were critically injured and on the verge of death.Dustin slowly turned his head and looked at the man who had just tried to ambush him.The man glanced at the broken sword in his hand, then at Dustin, who looked utterly unfazed. He hesitated for a split second—then bolted.With a powerful leap, he dove straight for the sea. He knew Dustin's strength was on a completely different level. There was no chance of outrunning him on land, so the only hope was to disappear into the water.It might have worked—if not for what happened next.Just before he hit

    "You're not a fisherman? Who the hell are you?"Mulder's guard shot up the moment he got a clear look at the young man's face.Fishermen who spent their days at sea were usually tanned from the sun, but this one had a fair complexion. It felt a little strangeNoticing something was off, the men behind Mulder drew their blades and fixed their sharp gazes on the fisherman.The so-called fisherman standing guard wasn't just anyone—it was Dustin, who had been waiting for them all along.Since his plan was set in motion, he'd been stationed there from morning until midnight. After what felt like an eternity, his targets had finally arrived."Isn't it obvious? I'm here to capture you."Dustin rose from the deck and rolled his shoulders before speaking in an even tone. "If you don't want to die, surrender now. Otherwise, it'll be too late.""Watch out! It could be an ambush." Mulder swiftly pulled out his dagger. His sharp gaze scanned the surroundings for any sign of hidden troops.

    As night fell, Warrick sat motionless in his room as he tried to calm his mind through meditation. He had always been able to clear his mind with ease. But tonight, no matter how hard he tried, focus eluded him. A restless unease settled over him and refused to let him relax.Nearly two hours passed before Mulder's scouts finally returned. This time, they brought good news.The smuggling route they had scouted was completely safe, with no signs of an ambush. The West Lucozia army had yet to discover this potential escape route.Once everything was confirmed, Mulder let out a breath of relief. Warrick, too, finally felt the weight lift from his chest."Since the route is safe, we should set out immediately to avoid any unexpected complications." Warrick said. He had no intention of waiting any longer. He was a wanted man, and every moment in West Lucozia increased his chances of capture. There was no telling when the army might surround him. Only by escaping to Thaloria would he

    After a hearty meal, the burly Warrick sprawled lazily onto the bed and dozed off. He slept soundly till dusk, lost in a deep dream. When the sky was painted in brilliant hues of the setting sun, only then did he wake up leisurely.The exhaustion from the previous day seemed to have melted away. He felt invigorated, refreshed, and in high spirits.At that moment, Leigh had already set the table in the hall with quiet efficiency. Compared to the first meal, this spread was far more lavish.At the center of the table sat a whole roasted pig. Its golden-brown skin glistened with a rich, crispy sheen. The mouthwatering aroma filled the room, making it impossible not to crave a bite.Warrick had never been one for formalities. The moment he saw the feast, he didn't hesitate. He strode over, took a seat, and started digging in. He ate with zero restraint without sparing a single thought for Mulder, who was still out gathering intel.After a while, half of the roast pig was gone. His fac

    "Who is it?" Warrick's grip tightened around the hilt of his steel blade. His eyes, sharp and alert, were like those of a startled predator—full of caution and menace.For the past few days, he had been on edge, like a cornered animal. He barely slept and was constantly on high alert, fearing danger would strike at any moment.The door slowly creaked open. An elderly man with gray hair stepped inside with a tray of fruit and pastries in both hands.Before he could even register what was happening, a flash of cold steel appeared, and Warrick's blade was at the elderly man's throat.The elderly man trembled with fear. The tray slipped from his grasp, and fruit and pastries scattered on the floor."Easy, Sir Prescott. He's one of us." Mulder stepped forward and pressed down on the flat of Warrick's blade with a finger. He smiled and explained, "His name's Leigh Houston. He's mute and has served the Hall of Gods for years. He keeps watch over this tunnel entrance and has never slipp
