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

    With its head forcefully pressed into the ground, the Onyxclaw's furious roars were deafening. Its body thrashed wildly, and its limbs pounded the ground incessantly, sending gravel flying and leaving claw marks everywhere. However, regardless of how hard it thrashed, it couldn't break free. Dustin stood like an immovable force, completely subduing the beast. The crowd was dumbfounded by what they were seeing. Nobody expected Dustin to be so strong that he could subdue the immensely powerful Onyxclaw on his own. Just moments ago, even a dozen fully armed guards had failed to deal with the ferocious beast, showcasing its formidable nature. After all, to be able to serve the Veros Warrior, one would certainly have to be an exceptional fighter. Despite the creature's overwhelming strength, Dustin, a seemingly unremarkable young man, effortlessly controlled it. The astonishment among the spectators was palpable."Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"The Onyxclaw continued roaring and

    Everyone now looked at Dahlia differently. Rumors had always been circulating about Seamus' new goddaughter, ranging from being an illegitimate child to a reincarnation of a fox spirit, creating a myriad of speculations. The earlier incident only intensified suspicions about her identity."Thank you for coming to my rescue, Mr. Adams. I am truly grateful." Dahlia approached Dustin and thanked him after regaining her composure. She would currently be inside a beast if it hadn't been for him. "It was nothing," Dustin responded nonchalantly.He never intended to attract attention. But he couldn't help but intervene when he saw Dahlia in danger. "Young man, you are undoubtedly highly skilled and courageous. You single-handedly subdued the Onyxclaw. It's truly remarkable!" Suddenly, Seamus spoke. "You're too kind, Sir Mosey. My skills are nothing worth mentioning," Dustin replied humbly. "You're too modest, young man. I must offer you a toast for your brave act." Seamus smi

    "Marriage?" Dahlia frowned immediately upon hearing this. They had just met today, and she barely knew anything about "Rhett". Even if he had saved her life, agreeing to a marital commitment was a big jump. It was evident from Anders' words that he saw her as a tool, a commodity that was up for sale. It made her extremely uncomfortable."Anders, marriage is a serious matter. You shouldn't treat it lightly," Seamus raised an eyebrow."Godfather, Mr. Adams and Dahlia are a match made in heaven. Coupled with his heroic actions, they seemed destined for each other. If they got engaged today, it would undoubtedly be a doubly joyous occasion," Anders advised."Dahlia, what do you think?" Instead of giving a direct answer, Seamus turned to Dahlia for her opinion."Godfather, I'm extremely grateful to Mr. Adams for saving me, but to repay him with marriage is something I just cannot bring myself to do." Dahlia shook her head gently."Dahlia, marriage is often decided by the parents. I

    After a prolonged battle, Anthony and the others finally realized the gravity of the situation.Arion wasn't just a sword master but also had unpredictable agility. No matter how they attacked, they couldn't even land a single hit. On top of that, his sword was a constant threat.If this deadlock continued, the situation would only worsen. So, when Bailey spoke, they knew it was time for decisive action, and there was no turning back. It was either kill or be killed.At that moment, Anthony, who had been holding back, finally decided to use his ultimate technique. He bit his finger and smeared the blood across his blade. His lips moved quickly as if whispering an incantation."Snow Maiden, arise!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he swung his sword. A white figure shot out and hovered in the air. It was a woman with fair skin and mesmerizing beauty. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, her dress was as white as snow, and her eyes had a sinister gleam.The moment she appe

    "How many tricks does this old geezer have?"The impact of the divine talisman explosion left everyone both shocked and enraged. No one had expected that Arion would still manage to unleash such a powerful supreme divine power even after the Glow Incantation was broken and the lightning strikes failed to cause any harm.The impact of the thousands of divine talismans exploding at once was terrifying. Only the strongest fighters—Willem, Bailey, and Batuul—could withstand it. The rest of the group was severely injured. At that moment, they finally realized the terrifying strength of Dragonmarsh's strongest man."Impressive," Willem said, landing smoothly after being thrown back. His withered skin was now covered in cracks, and blood oozed from it.Most of the shockwave from the explosion had hit him directly. Despite his impressive defense, he still took some damage. However, these injuries were nothing to him. His wounds had already healed within a few seconds, as if nothing had hap

    Willem's wings, black as night with a metallic sheen, erupted from his back. Fully extended, they stretched over 30 feet. With a gentle flap, a storm of wind and eerie howls swept through the air. The sheer force was intimidating to behold.His appearance had also undergone a drastic transformation. Willem's once-handsome face was now gaunt, his skin wrinkled, and his cheekbones jutted out. Fangs protruded from his mouth, and two sharp horns sprouted from his head. He had grown taller, but his body was unnaturally thin, with his ribs and sternum visible beneath his skin. From a distance, he looked like a towering, monstrous skeleton. It was an unsettling sight that sent a chill down anyone's spine.This was Willem's ultimate form. After the transformation, his speed, strength, defense, and reflexes were greatly enhanced. His thirst for blood grew even more intense, turning him into a bloodthirsty demon.The gods, who had expressed dissatisfaction moments ago, now stood paralyzed

    Willem was so fast that, even to a grandmaster, it would appear as though he had teleported, leaving no time to react.Bailey had already drawn Arion's full attention, making Willem's sudden attack almost impossible to counter.When everyone thought his attack was about to succeed, a red divine talisman suddenly shot out and stuck to his forehead just as his fangs were mere inches from Arion's neck.The talisman exploded, releasing a surge of violent energy that blasted Willem over ten yards away. Before he hit the ground, a blazing fireball instantly engulfed him.He screamed as he turned into a human torch. The fire burned fiercely, scorching his flesh and charring his body.The flames clung to him like a curse and were impossible to put out. His blood energy crackled and hissed as the fire burned, and thick black smoke rose from his body.The sight shocked everyone.Just moments ago, Willem had almost succeeded in his ambush, but Arion had been prepared. With a single talisma

    Thousands of golden whips lashed out with the force of a storm, and it was impossible to dodge.The group led by Bailey launched their attacks to block and continually struck the golden whips. With each collision, energy erupted, followed by loud booming sounds.Arion stood firm like a mountain. His body was enveloped in golden light as he swung his whips. Even though he was outnumbered, he still held the advantage.Bailey and the others couldn't break through at all. A few slightly weaker gods from the Hall of Gods were forced to retreat with each lash and struggled to withstand the onslaught.At that moment, everyone finally realized the terrifying power of Dragonmarsh's strongest martial artist. Even the attacks evolved from the Glow Incantation were enough to throw them off balance."I don't believe these things can stop me!"Bailey roared as his body began to change. His already large frame grew even bulkier, like a small mountain. His shirt tore as his muscles expanded, and

    The sudden turn of events took everyone by surprise. No one had expected Arion to strike so suddenly; he was so fast that they couldn't even see his movement.Even Willem, renowned for his speed, couldn't react in time. One slap had sent him flying—simple, brutal, and unstoppable.At that moment, they finally realized that the seemingly harmless Arion was much more formidable than they had imagined.Willem staggered to his feet and reached up to straighten his twisted neck. His collapsed cheek began to heal at a visible rate. Fortunately for him, vampires possessed extraordinary regenerative abilities. Without it, the slap would have crippled him."You're strong for an old geezer, but it'll take more than that to finish me off," Willem hissed through clenched teeth. The bloodthirst in his eyes was unmistakable as he glared at Arion. If he could drain Arion's blood, his strength would surge to unimaginable heights."Oh? This is interesting." Arion raised an eyebrow with a faint smi

    The battle between the Hall of Gods and Sacred Wrym Summit raged with unrelenting intensity. The Hall of Gods had made meticulous preparations for this invasion. Besides recruiting powerful martial artists from around the world, they also distributed valuable enhanced serums to everyone. To counter Sacred Wrym Summit's Stormcraft technique, they developed a special combat suit capable of resisting such attacks. Generally, a divine martial artist struck by Stormcraft would instantly lose their combat ability, but this special suit reduced the effectiveness of the attack by half. Even if struck, they could recover after a brief moment to continue fighting. The defensive capabilities of this gear were nearly flawless.In addition, their greatest strength was the sheer weight of their numbers. They had at least ten thousand people, including hired outlaws, under their command. During the siege, they were densely packed like a swarm of bees.In contrast, Sacred Wrym Summit had only

    Willard's ultimate move cleared the battlefield in an instant. The martial artists who had rushed forward were either dead or critically wounded, with no ability to defend themselves."This… How is this possible?" Hank's eyes widened in terror as cold sweat beaded on his forehead.Under the restriction of the sealing formation, even ultimate grandmasters couldn't unleash their full strength. But Willard, with nothing more than a flask of liquor, had managed to tap into a supreme divine power far beyond his cultivation level.Though he was only at the grandmaster level, his move, Infinite Spirit Manifestation, carried the might of an ultimate grandmaster. If he were to use it again, the outcome would be grim for everyone, including himself."Retract!" Willard took a deep breath and the thousands of illusory images that had surged forth earlier instantly retracted into his body. His face turned red and pale as his breath grew heavy and ragged.The toll of using Infinite Spirit Manif

    "Take a guess." Willard didn't answer. Instead, he took another sip from his flask.His cultivation had been sealed, but his strength came from the wine in his hand. The wine was refined with valuable herbs and contained dense spiritual energy, which he could absorb and convert into combat power.In short, every sip made him stronger. Even with his cultivation sealed, he could still execute powerful techniques."It's the wine, isn't it?" Garrett's gaze landed on the flask, and a quick realization set in. Willard drank before and after every attack, which hinted at something suspicious."Bingo. But no prize for you." Willard smirked and launched forward with a palm strike aimed at Garrett. Though his strength wasn't at its peak, the attack remained a deadly threat to the already injured Garrett."Mr. Styles, save me." Garrett knew he had no chance of blocking it and cried for help."Go to hell, traitor!" Hank saw the internal commotion unfold and threw a powerful punch at Willard
