Suddenly, Kate raised her hand and struck Hector's neck with the knife's sheath. He immediately passed out after that."Now that Dustin has the treasure map, it's time to settle our scores," Vlad said with a sinister grin. He added, "I'll send someone after him."Kate narrowed her eyes. "No need to go through the trouble. Instead of chasing him down, let's make him come to us willingly.""Oh? Do you have a plan?" he asked curiously."Just watch." She approached Natasha and tore her nightgown with little explanation.Vlad's desire intensified as he saw Natasha's exposed skin and alluring lingerie. He found her irresistible."Hang her up. I want to record a video," Kate said and took her phone out. "Oh, and stand beside her for a photo. It'll spice things up.""Sure thing!" He grinned and instructed someone to hang Natasha on a pillar. Then, he grabbed a strand of her hair and sniffed it with uncontrollable desire."Perfect." Kate was satisfied with the video she recorded. Th

The next morning, Zephyr Lodge was bustling with activity. It was Dustin's birthday!Everyone in the Kirin gang was taking it seriously. They had sent out invitations a few days ago for a big party.The Kirin gang had been in charge of the Millsburg underworld for a long time, with Dustin being known as the King of the Underworld. Today, he was receiving birthday wishes from various factions. Even those who weren't on the guest list hurried to send gifts.Meanwhile, Dustin was meditating in the main room of the villa. However, an urgent knock interrupted his mediation. "What's going on?" He opened the door and found Cornelius standing there."Sir Rhys, we've got a problem!" Cornelius said seriously.He went on, "Early this morning, a group of unknown martial artists broke into Ms. Harmon's villa. We had our men for her protection, but they killed all our men. And now, Ms. Harmon is missing. She might have been kidnapped!""What?" Dustin's expression changed. "How did this h

In Balerno, Tyler was unmatched among the younger generation. Everyone believed that with him leading the way, the Grant family would become even more influential and ultimately rule over Balerno.When Tyler's engagement was announced, it drew attention from all the folks in Millsburg. Not only that, but important people like leaders, merchants, and the rich from all major cities in Balerno also came to show their respect.As dawn approached, the Grant mansion was bustling with guests.In the meeting room, Tyler sat at the center, calm amidst the grandeur. To his sides were key members of the Grant family — uncles, aunts, cousins — all lowering their status, hardly daring to make a sound.When Tyler became General Lionheart and took over as the family patriarch from Arthur Grant, his grandfather, some elder members of the family weren't happy. They argued Tyler lacked experience and qualifications. But within three days, those who opposed him met unfortunate ends, and none of the

"Tyler! Get your ass out here, now!"A sudden shout echoed through the entire Grant mansion. It was as loud as the thunder that boomed in the sky. The voice carried an intent to harm and endless fury."Who's causing all this commotion?""Someone's causing trouble in the mansion? Catch them!""This is unbelievable!"Following a short moment of quiet, the meeting room burst into an uproar. The Grant family members were furious and upset. Nobody had ever dared to be so bold toward them, especially openly disrespecting Tyler like this. It was unacceptable!"Dustin has completely lost control!" Kate's face turned serious. She knew Dustin was coming. Still, she didn't expect him to be so bold, shouting before he even entered."Kate, is this the problem you mentioned?" Tyler frowned for a moment but quickly composed himself, not showing anger."Ty, honestly, Dustin has the treasure map. Everything will be fine if we capture him!" she said with a forced smile."You're quite daring

With a serious look on his face, Vlad commanded his martial artist masters to advance."Clear the way! I'll handle this!" Suddenly, a large, muscular man sprang into action. He charged at Dustin with unstoppable determination. In the middle of his charge, he unleashed a powerful punch known as the "Mad Bull Fist"."Fergus Zane doesn't mess around; he pulled off his best move right from the start.""I couldn't even block that punch; how can that skinny guy stand a chance?""If this kid goes down to Fergus' special move, he's in for some tough luck."The martial artists chuckled, clearly entertained by the unfolding scene.Among them, Fergus wasn't the strongest, but he had a respectable reputation. Going up against him meant trouble for most ordinary martial artists."Get lost!" Dustin paid no attention to the muscular man's attack. He delivered a mighty punch of his own and striked first.The muscular man's body burst like a watermelon hit by a cannonball, disintegrating in

Dustin's gaze sent a chilling fear through Vlad's core. Vlad had thought his plans were foolproof, but Dustin's strength shattered those hopes."Let them go, or face the consequences," Dustin warned, projecting a menacing presence."No way!" Vlad, furious, pulled out a gun and aimed at Dustin. But before he could react, Dustin disappeared and reappeared before him."You—" Vlad was startled, and Dustin grabbed his wrist, snapping it violently."Ah!"The gun dropped from Vlad's hand, and a strong hand gripped his throat, silencing him. His face turned red as he struggled in vain, his feet off the ground."Where's Natasha?" Dustin's expression turned fierce, his presence overwhelming."Let … let me go … or you won't leave here alive!" Vlad desperately threatened."I'm asking you, where is Natasha?" Dustin increased the pressure on Vlad's throat, making it hard for him to breathe. Vlad's face turned purple, and he began to kick wildly."Stop!"At that moment, key members of the

The crowd had never seen such a bold move. In broad daylight, Dustin daringly stormed into the Grant mansion and captured Vlad. It was a risky move, like walking a tightrope without a safety net.Vlad sneered, "Hey, brat! Can you see that? You're surrounded. My family's soldiers are standing all around. What makes you think you can take me on?"He continued to taunt, "If you want to live, let go and surrender. Kneel and beg for mercy. Maybe then, I'll spare you.""You want trouble?" Dustin grabbed Vlad by the neck and slowly lifted him with a chilling glare."What, you dare touch me?" Vlad sneered.He remained fearless and taunted, "If you touch me, you'll die, and your family and friends will suffer the same fate."He continued, "Oh, and your woman, she's in my basement. If anything happens to me, my men will rape her. Come on! Test me. Let's see if you can handle the consequences."Vlad laughed arrogantly. He seemed confident that personal courage could do nothing against ov

A sharp knife pierced through Hector's body, with its tip protruding from his chest. It caused the blood to flow along its edge."Ugh …"Hector trembled, and his face froze as he instinctively looked down. He watched as blood slowly oozed from the knife lodged in his chest."Huh?"This sudden turn of events shocked everyone. No one had expected Vlad to launch such a sudden and deadly attack. Onlookers had expected a stalemate, but now it was clear that Vlad had gone too far."Mr. Harmon?" Even Dustin was surprised. He had not expected Vlad to stab Hector. Just moments earlier, the man was held hostage. "Dus … Dustin … Take care … my daughter … from now on …" Hector struggled to say the words before his head sank down, and he took his last breath."His suffering has come to an end," Kate said coldly, showing no emotion."Hector …"In the crowd, Trent wore a pained expression. They were brothers who grew up together and carried on the family legacy regardless of the situation

"So what if I am? And what if I push even further?" Dustin's smile slowly faded. "If you don't like it, do something about it."There was no reasoning with tyrants like Warrick."Punk, are you really willing to risk your life against me? Have you ever considered what happens if you lose?" Warrick's face turned grim as a wave of killing intent spread from him.He had already taken a step back to avoid unnecessary trouble. If Dustin refused to back down, there was no choice but to fight."Cut the crap. You wanna fight, fight." Dustin didn't bother with more words. With a flick of his wrist, a silver needle shot out and aimed toward Warrick's forehead—silent, unassuming, but deadly."Hmm?" Warrick's brow furrowed as he instinctively raised his arm. Sparks flew as the needle deflected off his arm and buried into the ground."Oh? You've mastered the Adamantine Body Technique?" Dustin narrowed his eyes. At that instant, he saw through Warrick's technique. Not only was he halfway

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
