"What are you doing, Mr. Shaffer? There is no need for such formalities! Please get up!" Dustin quickly helped Cinna up from his knees."Your Highness, it was my mistake for failing to protect you and the Princess Consort. I am ready to receive my punishment!" Tears rolled down Cinna's face."Mr. Shaffer, what are you saying? Had you not risked your life to save me back then, I wouldn't be standing here now!" Dustin consoled him."All of our friends in Valiant Troop are now dead. I'm the only one left. I have failed the Prince and the Princess Consort. I have failed all of you!" Cinna choked up.“Mr. Shaffer, there is no need to blame yourself for what happened. You did your best, and I'm glad to see that you're still alive."I was the one who brought all the trouble upon all of you. I'm the one to be blamed. "Had it not been for me, you would not have laid unconscious for ten years."Had it not been for me, our friends in Valiant Troop would not have died. I am the one who sho
"Donovan Linsor?" Dustin frowned when he heard the name. "That name sounds familiar. Who is he?""You might not be familiar with Donovan Linsor, but I'm sure you know the Prince of Carsonne, Your Highness," Cinna said solemnly."So it was him!" Dustin saw red.The Prince of Carsonne, or Donovan Linsor, was the King's younger brother. He was considered an exceptional among the royals.Ten years ago, Donovan was acknowledged as an outstanding talent with a great strategic vision. But for some reason, he suddenly withdrew from the public eye. And till this day, his whereabouts remained unknown."Mr. Shaffer, are you saying that the Prince of Carsonne had something to do with the assassination back then?" Dustin pressed."I can't say for sure that he had anything to do with it, but he definitely knows something about it," Cinna answered."Oh? Why do you say so?" Dustin narrowed his eyes."The Prince of Carsonne had a close relationship with your father. When we were attacked outs
The most important thing was to find Donovan and ask him about the truth behind what had happened. "Mr. Shaffer, you should rest up since you've just woken up. If there's anything you need, just tell me any time." Dustin helped Cinna lie back on the bed."Your Highness!" Cinna suddenly grabbed Dustin's arm. He said earnestly, "What happened then is all in the past now. Forget about it. "If you continue investigating, it will only put you in danger. I believe the Princess Consort would have wanted you to live your life peacefully!""Mr. Shaffer, this is an unresolved matter that weighs heavily on my heart, and I feel guilty for it. If I do not get to the bottom of it, I shall never find peace," Dustin explained.Seeing the look of determination in his eyes, Cinna could only sigh. He did not say any more. He knew that with Dustin's stubborn personality, he would never back down on something when his heart was already set on it."Mr. Shaffer, all you need to do now is to rest well
Dustin showed no sign of joy after getting a definite answer from the woman. Instead, he looked gloomy. The person in Aylka must have only agreed because she was certain she had ways to get the information he needed.But somehow, he just had a nagging feeling that there was something odd about the whole thing. The closer he got to the bottom of things, the more uneasy he felt.He didn't even know what was the source of this unsettling feeling. It felt like intuition, but then again, maybe he was just overthinking things."Forget it. I'll work things out as they come." Dustin shook his head and did away with these troubling thoughts. Just as he was about to return to his room for a rest, his phone rang. It was a call from Lana."Hello, Ms. Camron. Is anything the matter?" Dustin looked around and noticed that the sun was already setting."Ms. Camron? Haha! I'm sorry, you guessed wrong." Suddenly, a raspy voice could be heard through the phone."What?" Dustin's brows furrowed i
Dustin had just gotten out of his car when he was blocked by two men with full tattoo sleeves."I'm here to meet someone," Dustin answered coldly."We need to run a body check on you!" the two men said before promptly patting Dustin down.He did not resist their actions and simply stood there cooperatively without moving. He wasn't going to do anything rash without ensuring Lana's safety."Alright, go on in." After checking Dustin and making sure that he didn't have any weapons on him, the two men stood aside and let him in.Dustin said nothing and entered the cathedral.In the cathedral, a burly man with unkempt stubble sat topless at a table. He had a bunch of lackeys around him, and they were enjoying a huge feast of roasted lamb. There were also all sorts of alcohol on the table. As they sat there, stuffing their faces with the lamb and chugging on alcohol, they looked like they were having the time of their lives.Over in a corner, Lana was tied to a stone pillar with a
"What?" The bald man looked at his penis on the ground, then at his crotch. The bald man was stupefied. His eyes widened in disbelief.What had just happened? Why was his penis on the ground?"Ahh—!" After a moment, he came to terms with what he saw, and the man gave out a blood-curdling shriek. His knees gave way, and he fell on his butt. His nether region bled profusely."Ah! My dick! My dick!" the bald man shouted and groaned in pain as he rolled around on the ground. The sudden commotion shocked everyone."John! What's going on?" the stubbled man immediately stood up and asked."My dick's gone! Someone chopped my dick off!" the bald man, John, cried as he picked up his bloody dick and raised it high above his head, showing it to the rest of them."Damn it! Who the fuck did that? Who dares hurt my men? Get the fuck out here!"The stubbled man scanned the room menacingly. All the other men pulled their weapons out, looking around warily."It was me." Dustin walked out o
The members of the Black Grizzly Gang suddenly froze as they rushed forward. It was as if they had been turned into stones. Soon, explosions could be heard, and all the members of the Black Grizzly Gang started swelling like balloons and exploded one by one.All of a sudden, severed limbs flew, and fresh blood splashed everywhere. It was a bloody mess in the deserted cathedral."What?" The stubbled man was stunned beyond words. The cigarette between his lips fell to the bloody ground. Were they all dead? The fight was just about to start, and he had already killed 20 to 30 people! Was he really human? Only the devil could do such a thing!His boss didn't send them to a job; he sent them to their death!"How could this be? Who is that person?" At this time, John looked terrified and could no longer care about the pain he felt. They had initially thought this would be an easy kill with the support of their boss. There shouldn't be any problem. They had never thought that their
John felt like thousands of wild horses were trampling his heart as he watched his leader surrender. Didn't he say they would rather die than disgrace the gang's principles? Didn't he say they'd die trying? Did he just fucking change his mind in a blink of an eye? Now that he could live, what would happen to him?"Hey, didn't you say we'd die together? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" John was shocked."Hey man, don't blame me. I have a family to feed; I can't die yet. Besides, you're already infertile. "There isn't a purpose to your life anymore. I'll take care of your siblings for you. You may leave in peace," The stubbled man said compassionately."You asshole! You've betrayed our gang's principles! You should fucking die!" John was furious as he unsheathed his knife and attempted to stab the stubbled man.The stubbled man quickly reacted as he picked up a brick from the floor and aimed straight at John's head."Bam!" It was a muted but sickening sound. The brick
