"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
At that moment, Gideon was unsettled. He could see that Scarlet and Dustin had known each other for a long time. Moreover, they were pretty close. In fact, they were closer than he thought. After all, Scarlet was known for being ruthless and decisive on the battlefield. She had always been that way since she was 18. She would always keep everyone at a distance, too. No one had seen her smile before, be it her family, friends, or subordinates. Right then, Scarlet was not just smiling. She was grinning. It was as if she had become a completely different person. Her current behavior was the opposite of her usual cold and aloof self. Gideon wondered if Scarlet had hit her head. Otherwise, why was she smiling? He even considered the possibility that Dustin had cast a spell to enchant her."Yup, I've sorted out the situation in Oakvale. We've killed several scapegoats as a warning. This should keep things quiet for a while," Scarlet answered truthfully. Dustin nodded wit
"We can't count on Trent anymore. So, we have to find another way now."Tyler pondered for a moment. "Find a few scapegoats and have them work on behalf of Trent. Remember, don't expose our identities." "Yes, sir!" his subordinate replied and left hurriedly."Hopefully, there won't be any more mistakes this time," Tyler muttered as he narrowed his eyes.If it weren't for Natasha's grandfather, Tyler would not be so cautious. He was indeed troublesome. Otherwise, Tyler would have taken action himself. …It was lunchtime. Dustin and Scarlet sat at a table by the window at Roseate Restaurant.They happily chatted while enjoying their meal. Halfway through, Scarlet suddenly asked solemnly, "Logan, should I kill everyone who offended you?"Upon hearing her words, Dustin did know whether to laugh or cry. "Their offense doesn't deserve a death penalty."Let them suffer a little will do. So, I suggest locking them up for a few days."An eye for an eye. Dylan deserved to die bec
