After all that, it seemed like Dustin was a monster. He was as swift as lightning, tough as a rock, indifferent to bullet, and merciless—this guy was a demon! "Where's Scott Mosey?" Covered in blood, Dustin glared at the muscle-bound man, his gaze icy. "Spare me! We are just following orders. We have no grudge against you, just—" Suddenly, the muscular man quickly whipped out a grenade and chucked it straight at Dustin. His timing was spot-on; the grenade would practically explode in an instant. The muscular man believed that no matter how tough Dustin was, there was no way Dustin could withstand the impact of the explosion. Victory seemed to be in the muscular man's grasp. He was convinced he had executed the perfect sneak attack, celebrating silently.However, Dustin intervened, snatching the grenade mid-air. In the next instant, a muted "bang" echoed as the hand grenade exploded instantly. But the expected bloodbath didn't happen. In Dustin's hands, the grenade seemed a
Amidst the chaos, Dustin kneeled beside Lana's motionless form, lost in thoughts. Suddenly, approaching footsteps brought him back to the present.Dustin gazed up to find Matteo, accompanied by others, rushing toward them urgently. The gunshots had alerted the Camron family.Realizing Lana's prolonged absence, Matteo swiftly sensed trouble and efficiently rallied a group for support. However, upon arriving and witnessing the grim scene, he stood frozen in disbelief as if struck by lightning.Stumbling forward, he reached Lana's motionless form. After confirming the grim reality, he released a gut-wrenching, mournful cry. "Lana! My daughter, Lana!"Matteo collapsed beside her, and his cries filled with sorrow. Since his wife's passing, he and Lana had been each other's pillars of strength. He had envisioned witnessing Lana's wedding, rejoicing in her motherhood journey, and holding his grandchildren. But today, unexpectedly, marked a farewell to the living and the departed. In
Anders organized an exclusive gathering with two purposes—to win over them and gather intelligence. "It's an honor to have you all at Jadeleaf Manor. Let's raise our glasses to a toast." He grinned, lifting his glass for a round of toasts.Seeing this, the attendees, filled with respect, promptly stood up, toasting in return. After all, the man in their midst was the God of War, the mightiest warrior in Dragonmarsh, and he was also the pride of the Moseys.Anders was a figure who naturally commanded respect wherever he went, and today's warm reception pleasantly surprised them."Sir Anders, we're family. Your words make it sound like we're strangers. "Besides, if anyone should be toasting, it should be us to you. You are the backbone of the Mosey family!" Scott, seizing the moment, raised his glass passionately."Absolutely! Sir Anders, your combat skills are unparalleled, a real asset to the Moseys!" The crowd joined in with praises."Haha! Alright, let's drink!" Anders lau
Anders's smile slowly faded and expressed his displeasure. "Who dares invade my territory?" he sternly questioned."The intruder's identity is unknown, but they're tough! Our guys inside the manor couldn't handle it. Sir, we need backup now!" a guard reported, respectfully bowing."Serious firepower? How many troops are we talking about?" Anders narrowed his eyes."Just one person," the guard replied."What?" Anders scowled. "You're telling me you couldn't handle one person? What good are you all?""We messed up, sir. Our apologies!" The guard hung his head in shame.They should have had this under control with almost a hundred guards in the manor, and they were all elite warriors. But the intruder was exceptional, demolishing everything in his way, unstoppable in his drive."Sir Anders, whoever this intruder is, we can't let them off easy. Anyone daring to trespass on Jadeleaf Manor needs to pay with his blood!" Scott, fueled with anger, declared."Let's go. It's time to
"Don't worry, Sir Anders. I got this." Scott grinned. "Once we capture this bastard, I'll torture the Dew Balm formula out of him!."Anders hummed noncommittally. "This guy is not ordinary. Regular guards might not cut it. Are your people up for the task?""Don't worry, Sir Anders. I'm prepared to handle this bastard," Scott assured, clapping his hands.Soon, a man and a woman stepped forward from behind Scott. The man was in a black tee. He stood strong and towered over six feet, muscles flexing. Unlike a regular human, a subtle rumble came from him with every breath.The woman had a mask covering half her face, her lips showing a bluish tint, and her eyes purple. She wore a black robe, giving off a creepy and menacing vibe."Sir Anders, these two are exceptional individuals I brought. His name is Cooper Stiff—bulletproof and blade-resistant, unfazed by fire or water. "Plus, he's one tough cookie, unafraid of pain, and stares at death in the face. You're not getting away if
"Those who stand in your way will meet their end? You watched too many dramas! Do you think you're some kind of hero? Pathetic!" Scott jeered, smirking. "Cooper, go entertain him. Just don't kill him; Sir Anders might still have a use for him."Cooper, a powerhouse halfway to becoming a grandmaster with his metallic physique, considered dealing with Dustin an easy task."Got it!" Cooper nodded, then confidently strode forward. In his eyes, Dustin was already a lost cause."Today's your unlucky day, bastard. If you cripple yourself now, I might spare you. Otherwise, you'll wish you were dead once I make a move!" Cooper warned with a booming voice."Get lost, or die!" Dustin retorted, unfazed."Hmph! Fool. it looks like you need a taste of my power!" Cooper snorted, launching himself like a cannonball, heading straight for Dustin.Given his physical prowess, that impact could break not only a person but even the bones of a bull into fragments. This was his preferred offensive t
A deafening explosion reverberated through the air. Dustin and Cooper both threw a punch, creating shockwaves of energy. Cooper was sent flying, like he was hit by a train, soaring over 30 feet before crashing down.Before fully landing, his body suddenly burst with a resounding "pop," like a balloon, transforming into a gruesome shower of flesh and blood. His once robust physique now became a downpour of blood and flesh, with bones pulverized beyond recognition.The scene was akin to shoving a bomb into his belly.Following the explosion, an abrupt hush enveloped the entire area. The onlookers gawked, looking in disbelief and astonishment. Was Cooper, famed for his impenetrable skin and iron bones, just annihilated by a single punch?"H-How is this even possible? Cooper ... he turned into freaking dust!""Damn! One punch, and Cooper's gone. Who the heck is this brat?"After a brief moment of stunned silence, chaos erupted in the crowd. Spectators stared at Dustin as if he
In an instant, everything changed. Elysia's icy breath sent chills down the spine. Everything within 30 feet became solid ice, and even Dustin became an ice sculpture."Haha! Frozen solid! This bastard is a goner!" Scott laughed, clearly enjoying the spectacle.After Dustin pummeled Cooper with a punch, he couldn't help but feel a bit shaken. Now, witnessing his opponent frozen, his confidence soared."True to Elysia's reputation, her tricks are something else." The astonished crowd noted.It was downright terrifying to freeze a martial artist master with a breath."Die!" Elysia, wide-eyed and merciless, threw a punch at Dustin's chest. Freezing was her ultimate move; anyone she froze would shatter when hit.An explosion echoed as Elysia's fist hit Dustin's chest. The ice shards scattered, but to Elysia's surprise, Dustin remained intact, not a tear in his clothes."H-How is this possible?" Elysia's eyes widened, struggling to believe her mystical arts did not affect Dustin."G
