Lily strongly disapproved of Sheila having a relationship with Dustin."Why do things have to be like this?" Sheila was crying under a dim streetlight after leaving the hospital. She loved Dustin regardless of his background, but everyone disapproved of their relationship. She asked herself, "Should I follow my heart and go after love, or should I listen to my family and hide my feelings?"Suddenly, a mysterious black SUV with fake license plates pulled up beside Sheila. Men in masks got out of the vehicle and surrounded her.Sheila asked, "Who are you? What do you want?" She instinctively stepped back.The leader of the masked group said, "Our master wants to talk to you, Ms. Murray. Please come with us.""I won't go with you! Leave me alone!""Catch her," the leader ordered his men, and they quickly rushed to stop Sheila."Let go of me!" She struggled as she cried for help."Sorry, Ms. Murray, but we must take you with us." The leader signaled his men to put Sheila in t
Sheila was tied up and unconscious in an abandoned steel factory, her eyes covered with a black cloth.Meanwhile, Diego had a charming smile as he savored good wine and steak."Mr. Bourbon, our target hasn't shown up. Maybe he won't come," a burly red-robed warrior reported."Don't rush it. Let's wait," Diego said and put down his utensils. He continued, "I've already looked into it. Dustin has a serious relationship with Sheila. Given his personality, he'll come to rescue her.""I'm worried he won't give up the Cherusia. Should we send our guys to attack the Zephyr Lodge and take the treasure?" the red-robed warrior suggested."Fools!" Diego scolded. "Zephyr Lodge has many strong elites. Even if we succeed, we will lose many of our men.""The fighters from Dragonmarsh aren't very strong, Mr. Bourbon. You're giving them too much credit," the red-robed warrior complained. He believed their battle-tested Kimboku warriors were tougher than Dragonmarsh martial artists."Dragonma
"Bastard!" The red-robed warrior couldn't control his anger and drew his sword."Mr. Rhys, there's a saying in Dragonmarsh: 'Do something at your peril.' Hand over the Cherusia, and I'll spare both of you. Refuse, and there's only one outcome. Death!" Diego threatened Dustin."Do you think your group can take me down? Are you that brave?" Dustin taunted."Don't believe me? Give it a try," Diego snapped his fingers.The red-robed warrior dashed toward Dustin with his sword. He roared, "Folks from your Dragonmarsh are nothing but eastern scoundrels. Today, you'll learn a lesson.""What did you just call us?" Dustin's face hardened, and he looked ready for a fight. About eighty years ago, Dragonmarsh had just been through a war. The Kimboku people often looked down on Dragonmarsh and called them "eastern scoundrels". After many years, Dragonmarsh improved and became a stronger country. But the shame from that period remained etched in memory.So, when the red-robed warrior sai
Dustin's powerful punch pierced through the red-robed warrior's chest. Blood was gushing out of him. Stunned by the blow, the red-robed warrior looked at his wounded chest. He had underestimated the strength of the Dragonmarsh martial artist. Then, he collapsed to the ground and died."Fool!" Dustin's face remained expressionless. He stomped on the red-robed warrior's head so hard that it exploded.This was unlike Dustin's usual style. But the derogatory comments directed at Dragonmarsh and the teasing toward Sheila had pushed him to this point."What?" Diego could not believe his eyes. Dustin had defeated his powerful warrior with a single punch."Bastard!"In response to their comrade's death, the Kimboku warriors drew their swords in unison. "Kill him!" Diego ordered his warriors to attack. Their initial plan to capture Dustin alive was now forgotten."Charge!" The warriors brandished their swords and charged.At that moment, Dustin stomped his foot and summoned a nearby
"Is this guy a monster?" Diego muttered. "Okay. It's your turn!" Dustin glared at the scared Diego."Mr. Rhys, let's talk it out. No need for a showdown. I'll return your woman and leave, never bothering you again," Diego begged. He had over twenty warriors at his disposal, but they were no match for Dustin. He couldn't believe Dustin was this terrifying."Your fate was sealed when you kidnapped someone. Words won't save you now," Dustin declared, raising his sword."Wait!" someone shouted.Then, Jayden stormed in with soldiers, followed by Vivian and Evan."You came just in time. These Kimboku people attempted to kidnap Sheila. Arrest him and bury them," Dustin said, pointing to the lifeless bodies on the floor."Shut up! You have no say here!" Jayden retorted. He was surprised to see Diego. "Diego? Is that you?" Diego was equally surprised. He had met Jayden during their studies abroad, and they were acquainted."So, what brings you here?" Jayden asked."I ..." Diego
"Huh?"Dustin looked at the crushed phone in shock. He hadn't expected Jayden to do something like this. Jayden had boldly destroyed evidence in front of everyone to protect Diego.Even Diego seemed surprised that Jayden had intervened on his behalf."Diego, don't worry. I've got your back," Jayden said.Sheila had been kidnapped, and Jayden didn't care about that. But he saw an opportunity to gain Diego's favor. It was mainly because the Bourbon family was influential in Kimboku."With you supporting me, I'm not worried." Diego eagerly accepted Jayden's help."Jayden, are you teaming up with Diego like this?" Dustin's expression hardened. He had caught the person responsible and provided evidence. However, in an effort to cover up for Diego, Jayden lied and destroyed evidence. It was a despicable act. "Dustin, you have no evidence to accuse Diego. How bold of you!" Jayden responded. He added, "And I have reason to believe the video you showed is fake. It was probably s
Jayden sneered. "Look around you. Everyone here follows my orders. If you act recklessly, you'll be shot!""Mr. Rhys, bullets stray. Just give up," Diego bragged. He knew the folks in Dragonmarsh often fought among themselves and began to enjoy the show. "Rhys, if you want to stay alive, surrender now. Otherwise, you'll regret it!" Vivian and her group declared arrogantly."Jayden, you're playing with fire," Dustin warned. He added, "Out of respect for General Murray, I don't want violence. Leave now, and we can forget what happened. But if you keep protecting Diego, I won't show you mercy." "Mercy?" Jayden laughed and thought Dustin was a fool. "Dustin, who do you think you are to threaten me? I can kill you with just a word!"He snapped his fingers, and all the soldiers behind him pointed their guns at Dustin."Now, kneel!" Jayden ordered, pointing down confidently. "What did you say?" Dustin remained unfazed."Are you deaf? I said kneel—" Before Jayden could finish,
"Stop!"Just as Dustin was punching Jayden, a sudden cry rang out from behind them.Dustin turned to find Sheila awake and bewildered. She hadn't expected to wake up to this scene and was confused about what was happening."Dustin, what's going on?" Sheila asked, looking puzzled. "I'm teaching Jayden a lesson on behalf of General Murray," Dustin replied bluntly. "He's been helping the bad guys, and I'm trying to keep him from causing harm to others and himself.""That's nonsense!" Vivian interjected. She added, "Sheila, Dustin was the one who kidnapped you. We came to rescue you, but Jayden got caught up in this mess when Dustin attacked him. Look at Jayden; he's been badly injured.""Exactly! This guy has no shame. When we exposed him, he resorted to violence. He's truly despicable!" Evan added.Sheila, still puzzled, turned to Dustin and asked, "Is what they're saying true?""Do you think I'm the kind of person they describe?" Dustin replied with a question."No." Sheil
