Chapter 1226
Author: Marina Vittori
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

    Vlad was shocked and hastily backed away.Suddenly, shots rang out, but they missed Dustin and only hit his afterimage."Stop him, quick!" Vlad turned pale and tried to run. He couldn't believe that this lunatic wasn't even afraid of bullets."What are you waiting for? Go help him!" Kate quickly instructed a group of guards to move in."Get back here!" Dustin dashed forward. He grabbed Vlad's head and slammed his head on the ground.The gunshots stopped immediately, for fear they might accidentally hit Vlad. Even the strong guards hesitated, not wanting to act impulsively."Dustin, I warn you not to do anything reckless. If you hurt Vlad, there will be serious consequences!" Kate shouted firmly."Bastard! Stop this now!" the Grant family members and relatives shouted angrily.At that moment, they all sensed that Dustin was desperate to do something. But they held back because they were afraid of causing unwanted harm."Hey, brat, be careful. If you hurt me, your whole family w

    "Dead ... Vlad is dead?" Kate's eyes widened in disbelief as she gasped. She never expected Dustin to murder Vlad in public. She could not help thinking that Dustin was really wicked!"Oh no! Now, even Natasha and the others will suffer!" Trent muttered, shaking his head. His younger brother's death was a great shock, and if his nieces were now in danger, it would make everything worse. Although he was striving for power, he didn't want to harm his family."Unbelievable!""So brazen!""Bastard! You crossed the line!"After recovering from their shock, the Grant family members erupted in anger. No one had ever dared to challenge the authority of the Grant family in Millsburg, let alone commit such a brutal murder right before their eyes. This behavior was incredibly bold!"Dustin, you challenged our authority. No one can save you today," Tyler declared sternly.Vlad's death hadn't shaken him too much. Still, Dustin, the murderer, had openly challenged the Grant family

    What was happening? Dustin, a brave but reckless man, had openly defied the Grant family's authority. Not only that, he had also brought a gang with him to cause chaos and lawlessness in the Grant mansion."Listen up, Grants! Let Ms. Harmon go immediately, or we'll fight fiercely today!" Cornelius led a group of Kirin gang members and bravely confronted the Grant family's forces."Fight fiercely? Are you even up to the task?" Tyler looked at him disdainfully. To him, the Kirin gang was just a bunch of nobodies. Once his men got there, they could take them down easily."Dustin, you're too idealistic. Do you think you can challenge us with these petty gangsters? That's just wishful thinking!" Kate scoffed.The Kirin gang was impressive. Still, compared to the Grant family, they were insignificant and would easily crumble."If the Kirin gang can't handle this, what about teaming up with the Stoneray Order?"Suddenly, a loud voice echoed at the entrance.Then, a dignified elderl

    "Let me correct you," Dustin said.As his hand slowly tightened into a fist, a white longsword formed from his true energy. "In Dragonmarsh, there is no 'God. ' We only have the Lord of the Dead."The moment the words left his mouth, a tempest of sword aura exploded outward. Within a radius of several dozen yards, the winds howled, sand and stones were sent flying, and the waves along the shore grew even more violent."Such overwhelming pressure. That sword aura is insane. Is this Logan's actual strength?"Feeling the surge of energy, Warrick and the others couldn't help but turn pale. It was then they realized that Dustin hadn't been fighting seriously before. Or perhaps, with their strength, they hadn't even earned the right to make him fight for real. They figured only someone of Poseidon's caliber could force Dustin to go all out."Interesting… truly fascinating." Poseidon suddenly laughed. "I thought you were just a pup, but it turns out you're a hungry wolf. Now, this is s

    Poseidon hovered in the air with his trident in one hand and radiated a commanding presence. He stood like a god, and his figure was so intimidating that it struck fear into those who beheld him.With a wave of his hand, an invisible energy struck Warrick and expelled the three silver needles from his body. Feeling sensation returned to his limbs, Warrick's face lit up. He quickly rose to his feet and clenched his fist to his chest in salute."Thank you, Lord Poseidon, for saving me. I will never forget this kindness!" he said."No need for formalities, Sir Prescott. Now that you've pledged yourself to the Hall of Gods, it's only natural that I ensure your safety," Poseidon replied with a faint smile as he descended gracefully."Your timely arrival was a blessing," Warrick said as he bowed his head slightly in deference. "Otherwise, we would have perished tonight."The Hall of Gods' royal gods were figures he could only look up to. Everything about Poseidon, from his power to hi

    Mulder knew Warrick had been on the battlefield for years, and his physical strength was unmatched. On top of that, he was already halfway to becoming an ultimate grandmaster. Even if Warrick couldn't defeat the prodigious Logan, Mulder figured the difference wouldn't be too big. But he never expected Logan to take down Warrick with a single finger, leaving him severely injured and unable to stand. The difference in their strength was far beyond anything Mulder could have imagined.In other words, Logan had been toying with them from the start and didn't take the fight seriously. If he had, they would've all been dead.Warrick clutched his chest and coughed up blood as he staggered to his feet. His chest was a charred ruin, the flesh torn open and slick with blood. It was an awful, gory mess."I didn't expect you to be this strong. I underestimated you," he growled.He slowly raised his head, and his face twisted with a menacing look. "Guess I was just unlucky to fall into your

    "Oh? You guessed it?" Dustin smirked. "Now that you know who I am, it's up to you to decide what to do."If Warrick chose to surrender, Dustin would simply seal his pressure points and leave him to Austin's judgment. But if he resisted, Dustin wouldn't hesitate to cripple him."Haven't you given up your title as the prince? Why did you return? Are you going to compete with Austin for the throne?" Warrick asked.Uncertainty flickered across his face before he continued, "If that's your intention, I can help you. Spare me today, and I guarantee you'll become the next Prince of West Lucozia."Power was a tempting beast. History was filled with stories of brothers turning against each other and fathers murdering their sons for it.In Warrick's mind, Logan's quiet return to West Lucozia meant one thing—he was after the throne."Guarantee?" Dustin scoffed. "What guarantee are you offering?" His voice was dripping with disdain. "You're a cornered rat now. You're barely holding on to you

    "Warrick's blade technique is terrifying," Mulder mumbled. "This should be the finishing blow, right?"Watching from a distance, he was awestruck by the dazzling blade aura. Only now did he truly grasp the sheer gulf between Warrick and Dustin.Warrick's strike descended with such overwhelming force that it seemed to split the earth and obliterate everything in its path. Even from 300 feet away, the pressure rolling off it sent a chill down Mulder's spine.Under Mulder's stunned gaze, Warrick brought his full weight down, with blade and body merging into a single force that swallowed Dustin whole.The instant they clashed, an incandescent explosion of light erupted. It was so blinding that Mulder couldn't even open his eyes.A split second later, a deafening blast erupted, and a shockwave shot outward like a tidal surge. The force flattened the waves and overturned several fishing boats docked at the pier.Even Mulder, more than 300 feet away, was caught in the blast and tumbled

    "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
