Chapter 1057
Author: Marina Vittori
With a loud "boom," the 30-foot-tall decorative rock formation shattered into pieces. At the same time, the pond split apart.

The crowd was silenced, their wide-eyed looks showing their disbelief.

About 40 feet away, another decorative rock formation also collapsed to the ground.

"Is he a grandmaster martial artist?"

"Wait! I remember hearing about a rising young genius in the martial world. Could it be him?"

"Wow! He's in his twenties and already a grandmaster martial artist. Unbelievable!"

The crowd buzzed with excitement. While some were shocked or in awe.

Meanwhile, Leah, Quinton, and Livie were dumbfounded. They hadn't expected Dustin to be a grandmaster martial artist. They struggled to accept reality.

"No ... It can't be?" Trent's expression shifted from joy to sheer horror. He realized that he was in deep trouble.

The reveal shook the Harmon family and struck them like thunder.

It was fine if they had to face Dustin only. But it was now different after learning that

    "I object! Being a grandmaster martial artist doesn't mean you can bully others with your title?" A stern middle-aged man in military attire stepped forward confidently. He was followed by a group of intimidating-looking, fully armed elite soldiers."General Zink!"Dylan's face brightened with relief as if he had found a savior. The despair in his eyes was replaced with hope."He's here! Our savior has arrived just in time!" Jacob exclaimed. He had lost hope for his son's survival but now saw a glimmer of hope."Wait, is that General Zink? What is he doing here?""I wonder if he's as strong as they say.""You guys don't know? General Zink is one of the Four Generals of the Dark Panther Cavalry. He's just one rank below the Scarlet Warrior and commands an army of one hundred thousand. His power and influence are unmatched in the region.""Wow, that's impressive!""General Zink being here means things are about to get interesting!"The arrival of Gideon sparked a wave of excit

    At that moment, Gideon believed he could defeat any grandmaster martial artist with his army of one hundred thousand soldiers."Rhys! Your strength means nothing to General Zink. Surrender now, or you'll regret it!" Dylan grinned menacingly.With Gideon and the Dark Panther Cavalry by his side, Dylan had no reason to fear Dustin anymore. "Gideon Zink, let me warn you again. Gather your men and leave immediately. Otherwise, don't accuse me of disrespecting the Spanner family," Dustin warned sternly."What?" Gideon frowned. "You, a nobody from the martial world, dare to threaten me? Are you looking for trouble?""I'm offering you a choice. If you don't take it, you'll regret it," Dustin cautioned."Regret?" Gideon looked at Dustin, puzzled Then he burst into laughter. "Kid, haven't you realized? We've got you surrounded. One word from me, and my troops will shoot anytime!"Dustin narrowed his eyes. "Don't push your luck.""What if I do?" Gideon sneered. "Do you think being

    "Do you still want to interfere in others' affairs now, Gideon?"Dustin's grip tightened on Gideon's neck. Gideon struggled to breathe, and his heart raced."Young man, don't act recklessly!"Gideon gritted his teeth. "Holding a high-ranking military officer hostage is a major offense. Even if the military can't catch you, the Martial Arts Union exists. They won't let you go if you hurt me!"The Martial Arts Union was responsible for supervising martial artists' conduct. They would usually punish those who broke the rules. It applied to all martial artists, regardless of their status, including grandmaster martial artists."Are you trying to threaten me? Do you think I won't dare to kill you?" Dustin's eyes grew colder."I'm just warning you. Don't ruin your future," Gideon advised. "You're young, talented, and have a promising future ahead. Stop what you're doing; it's not worth sacrificing your future. Think it through.""So, are you trying to stop me?" Dustin asked."L

    Just as Gideon was about to speak, he was interrupted by Trent's furious shouting. "Quick! Fire! This punk wants to kill General Zink! Shoot him down now!"Trent looked impatient. It was as if he was afraid that Gideon would beg for mercy. Upon hearing Trent's words, Dark Panther Cavalry soldiers removed their safety locks. Then, they proceeded to load their bullets. "What the hell are you guys doing? Stop it! Stop it now!" Gideon yelled with all his might. He was shocked.At this rate, he would be shot all over his body before Dustin died. However, in the next second, the sound of gunfire was heard. When he locked eyes with them, Trent had secretly signaled the Harmon family's gunmen hidden among the crowd. That was why they fired. Trent thought it would be best if they managed to hit Dustin. But it did not matter if they failed and accidentally killed Gideon instead. They could just pass it off as a desperate attempt to save a life. If that were to happen, Trent could

    "The Scarlet Warrior is here!" When the clear female voice sounded, everyone suddenly fell silent. Instinctively, all of them turned and looked at the entrance. Their eyes fixed on the door. Soon, a woman dressed in red walked in casually, holding a viridescent sword. The woman had short silver hair. Her beauty was truly breathtaking.Every move of hers exuded an air of confidence. She looked imposing and dignified at the same time. Especially her eyes, her gaze was cold and arrogant. It seemed like she was looking down on everyone. The woman appeared like a higher being without regard for all living things. She was none other than the Scarlet Warrior, the most formidable Goddess of War in Dragonmarsh.After a brief silence, the crowd burst into shouts of excitement."The Scarlet Warrior! It really is the Scarlet Warrior!""Oh my gosh! I didn't expect the Scarlet Warrior to come. What an amazing day!""It is said that not only is the Scarlet Warrior stunning, but als

    "This guy is done for! The situation escalated to the point that the Scarlet Warrior came. His life is about to become a living hell!""All I can say is that he's very unlucky. It just so happened that he ran into his greatest enemy. There's nowhere for him to run now.""I guess it's his honor to die in the hands of the Scarlet Warrior." Many people's gazes fell on Dustin as they gossiped. Some pitied him, while some took pleasure in his misfortune. Some looked at the scene sorrowfully. Scarlet was the commander of the Dark Panther Cavalry. Meanwhile, Dylan was a high-ranking commander.So, everyone naturally believed that Scarlet came to save Dylan.Dustin was indeed formidable. However, he could never go against Scarlet. That was an undeniable fact. There were no reasons or logic to explain it. It was simply because she was Scarlet. After all, she was an undefeatable legend. "My Lady! What brings you here?" After collecting himself, Gideon was the first one to greet h

    Suddenly, Dylan's head dropped to the ground with a thud and rolled to a stop. His eyes were still wide in disbelief, his face filled with shock.Till his death, Dylan never expected that Scarlet would kill him. She was supposed to be his savior. However, she turned out to be the reason for his death. "W—what?" The sudden turn of events shocked everyone. They gasped as they looked at Dylan's severed head on the ground. They looked as if they had seen a ghost. They couldn't comprehend what was happening. As the commander of Dark Panther Cavalry, wasn't the Scarlet Warrior supposed to help Dylan?Why did she kill him instead? Did she make a mistake? "H—he's dead?" Trent stuttered, his eyes wide. He was frozen in shock.Kate was terrified at the sight of Dylan's lifeless body. She could not believe Scarlet actually killed Dylan. "How did it turn out like this? Why would the Scarlet Warrior kill Dylan?""T—that's impossible …" Jacob muttered as he stood there dumbfounded.

    "Arrest all those who caused a disturbance today. Conduct a thorough investigation, too!" Scarlet ordered and signaled the Dark Panther Cavalry.They followed her orders and seized every member of the Harmon family. Once again, the crowd was bewildered by Scarlet's decision. They couldn't understand what was happening. Weren't Dustin and Kirin Gang the ones who caused a disturbance? Why did Scarlet arrest the Harmon family?She did not apprehend the attackers. Instead, she ordered Dark Panther Cavalry to capture the victims. What was going on? Why was the situation getting even more out of hand? Trent was momentarily stunned. After returning to his senses, he cried in distress, "My Lady, we're innocent!""My Lady, we didn't do anything! Why are you arresting us?" Kate hurriedly asked. She was shocked and scared as well. "Yes, My Lady! We're innocent! If you want to arrest someone, it should be Dustin!" The members of the Harmon family started crying out, one after anothe

    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

    "Here's the problem—even if we know Warrick's intentions, how do we stop him?" Austin asked.Right now, Warrick had already disappeared without a trace. Austin's team hadn't even come close enough to get a hold of him, so there was no way to track him down.West Lucozia's vast territory and resources made it impossible to seal off every exit route completely. While it might be manageable in the short term, prolonging such an operation would significantly impact West Lucozia's economy. Wasting resources on a single fugitive wasn't a wise move."Warrick is a wanted man across the entire city. There's no way he's leaving through official channels. He'll have to sneak his way out," Dustin analyzed. He continued, "According to the maritime charts, if he's traveling from West Lucozia to Artea, he'll have to go through Thaloria. That's our lead. Get someone on it immediately—find out how many smuggling routes there are from West Lucozia to Thaloria.""Got it. I'll get it done right away

    "Damn you, Mulder! You've really screwed me over this time." Axel gnashed his teeth as rage boiled inside him. Mulder's betrayal hadn't just implicated Axel's sister, but it had also dragged Axel himself into the mess.Mulder had climbed the ranks to assistant chief of the City Defenders in just a few years, and Axel had played a major role in backing him.Now that this mess had blown up, Axel was right in the middle of it. No matter how he tried to explain, he was going to take the fall for it."Everyone, follow me! Let's capture that traitor."After learning Mulder's escape route, Axel waved his hand and led his enforcement team out at full speed.He had already messed up by failing to capture Warrick, which was a serious lapse in duty. Now, with his brother-in-law openly rebelling against them, things had only gotten worse.If Axel didn't turn this situation around and bring those traitors to justice, his days as an enforcement team captain were numbered.After a thorough s

    "Damn it!" Warrick cursed. "I was just getting started."He was covered in blood. His eyes burned with a wild, excited gleam.Warrick lived for the fight. After two days in hiding, he was itching to let loose—and now that he had, he wasn't ready to stop."Sir Prescott, think about the bigger picture. If we don't leave now, it'll be too late," Mulder urged, grabbing his arm.At the far end of the street, dark figures were already visible in the distance, rushing toward them.Though Warrick still seemed reluctant, he quickly calmed down."Fall back!" he shouted.With that, he and Mulder charged past the checkpoint and led a handful of battered soldiers into the outer city.Unlike the inner city, the outer city had much weaker defenses. The sheer size of the area made it impossible to secure every corner, so only the main thoroughfares had a strong military presence.Mulder had already mapped out their escape route and prepared the gear.According to the original plan—if they ha
