Looking at that detestable face of the past, Dustin frowned. He had expected to encounter familiar faces at this place. And the whole reason he disguised himself was to avoid having his identity exposed. However, he never expected to cross paths with Florence and her group in such an unfortunate manner. Fortunately, she didn't recognize him. Intending to diffuse the situation, Dustin apologized, "I'm sorry for not paying attention just now. Are you hurt?""Hmph! You must be blind!" Florence dusted herself off as she got up from the ground. She shouted arrogantly, "Do you know who I am? How dare you run into me? You must be tired of living!" Her social standing was no longer what it was before. Anyone who offended her now was essentially seeking their demise. "Hey! You were the one who didn't watch where you were going! How can you be so unreasonable and blame us when you were the one who ran into us?" Abigail was indignant. "Who the hell are you? How dare you point finge
Florence didn't know when to stop and insisted on escalating the situation. At this point, Dustin could tolerate no more."All right, seems like you won't learn your lesson till you hit a dead end! Guards! Guards! These two troublemakers are causing a disturbance! They even resorted to violence against me! Arrest them immediately!" Florence shouted. Following her orders, guards at the entrance immediately surrounded Dustin and Abigail. Dahlia was now a prominent figure among the Moseys. As her mother, Florence was considered a distinguished guest who enjoyed a high status. There were not many people who dared to offend them."Hold on!"Just as the two sides were about to clash, Dahlia suddenly walked in and exclaimed darkly, "What's going on here? Why are you drawing weapons? Don't you know what day it is today?""Dahlia, you arrived just in time!"Florence began complaining immediately upon seeing her. "These two were deliberately causing a scene. They even laid their hands
After dealing with Florence, Dahlia turned to Dustin and said calmly, "Dear sir, miss, I'm very sorry for what happened earlier. I assure you there won't be a next time. My apologies again for the disturbance." After she spoke, she lowered her head slightly to show her sincerity. The crowd nodded in approval as they watched her apology. As Sir Mosey's goddaughter, her status was second only to him. And offering a public apology was a level of humility not easily found. Her awareness of putting the situation first made the public realize that Sir Mosey had put his trust in the right person. "There's no need for such formality, Ms. Nicholson. We never wanted to make the situation worse. Having this resolved peacefully was the best outcome we could ask for." Dustin nodded slightly. "Sir, you are indeed a sensible man. May I ask for your name?" Dahlia asked politely. "I'm Rhett Adams. And this is my sister, Abigail Adams," Dustin replied. "Mr. and Ms. Adams, welcome. You a
While speaking, Seamus waved in all directions. He didn't look authoritative whatsoever. "That's the legendary Sir Mosey? He looks different from what I imagined." Abigail was puzzled as she gazed at the friendly, plump man in front of her. She had imagined a prince to be imposing and dignified. A figure that would command respect with just a glance. She was slightly disappointed with Seamus' appearance and temperament. "Are you thinking that he doesn't match the image of a prince?" Dustin asked with a smile."Yeah, he looks no different from a regular guy. Quite a contrast to Anders." Abigail nodded."Your judgment might be a bit off." Dustin shook his head. "Anders is indeed impressive. Even so, his success is ultimately rooted in the support of an influential figure. That gives him not only a head start but a relatively smooth path."Sir Mosey, on the other hand, built himself from the bottom up. He rose to the status of a prince solely through his efforts. He is the tr
When the black cloth fell, a stir swept through the crowd. They were astonished to discover that the iron cage contained a ferocious beast—a creature resembling a tiger but with a much larger build. It had pitch-black fur that emitted a metallic sheen and two long protruding fangs. Each was about a foot in length, resembling sharp swords. The claws on its paws extended like steel talons with traces of blood and flesh clinging to them. It looked extremely intimidating, sending shivers down the spines of the onlookers. Fortunately, the beast remained in a deep slumber, displaying no signs of aggression."Godfather, this is an Onyxclaw that I captured from the ancient forests of the eastern frontier. It is the king of beasts and is extremely ferocious. "It's not only powerful, but its fur is also incredibly tough, immune to blades and bullets. It's truly a rare creature."It took me quite the effort to capture this creature successfully. Do you like it?" Anders declared loudly a
After a moment, the slumbering Onyxclaw slowly opened its eyes. At the same time, a fully armed team of guards surrounded it, keeping vigilant for a reaction. They would restrain it immediately if they noticed any abnormality or aggressive behavior.The Onyxclaw seemed aware of its surrounding threat and dared not make any sudden movements. It laid down obediently in the presence of the guards."Come out!" Anders shouted.The Onyxclaw snorted and walked leisurely out of the iron cage. Its massive body resembled a tiny mountain, giving off oppressive dominance. Anders, tall as he was, appeared small in front of the Onyxclaw. It seemed as though it could swallow him in a single gulp."I heard you can discern good from evil. Now, show everyone your abilities. Of course, if you dare to misbehave, I'll have you slaughtered for soup!" Anders ordered coldly. Upon hearing this, the Onyxclaw's fur bristled slightly. It instinctively moved away from Anders, clearly fearful of him.
Abigail was weirded out and felt uneasy as she watched the Onyxclaw come to a stop. She wasn't afraid. She was just worried that her identity would be exposed. "Dustin, didn't you say it couldn't distinguish between good and evil? Why did it stop in front of us? Did it realize something?" Abigail squeaked through her teeth. "It's just a coincidence. Don't worry, relax. It'll leave soon," Dustin reassured her gently. He had just finished speaking when the Onyxclaw suddenly lowered its head, and its long canine almost touched Dustin's head. It breathed heavily onto Dustin's face. It felt warm but gave off a pungent smell. Dustin held his breath and muttered silently, "Buddy, you'd better not mess around, or I'll kill you."Seemingly sensing Dustin's threat, the Onyxclaw snorted and shifted its massive head toward Abigail. She clenched her fists, barely holding back the urge to strike.The Onyxclaw was close to the size of an elephant. With its proximity, one bite could easil
Julie clutched her severed arm, screaming in agony. She couldn't have dreamt that the Onyxclaw would suddenly attack."What's going on?" Everyone was stunned by this turn of events. The Onyxclaw had been docile the entire time, showing no signs of aggression even when others had touched it. Why did it suddenly go berserk? Was the woman some heinous criminal?The crowd was still when the Onyxclaw's beastly pupils turned a bloody red. Instead of targeting Julie, it shifted its attention to Dahlia, baring its teeth and displaying a fierce expression.The Onyxclaw let out a piercing roar, and its massive body lunged toward Dahlia."Quick, stop it!" Anders roared. The prepared guards immediately threw out a large steel net, securely trapping the Onyxclaw. Following that, they fired a barrage of potent tranquilizer darts at the creature.However, the Onyxclaw had gone completely crazy and turned exceptionally irritable. Its massive body writhed violently, and its sharp claws tore th
