Once the dust settled, a massive crater appeared at the center of the explosion. It was roughly 30 feet in diameter, resembling a dried-up pond. It was a devastating sight. At the edge of the crater, Dustin and Anders locked eyes from a distance. Dustin was expressionless, his gaze indifferent, still holding Scott's severed head. Anders had a serious expression, facing a formidable opponent.The two stood in a tense standoff, neither making any sudden moves."Wait, did this bastard block Sir Anders' earth-shattering strike just now?" someone exclaimed."Not only did he block it, but he also looks like he hasn't suffered any injuries," another added."Wow! Since when did Oakvale have a genius who can go head-to-head with the Veros Warrior? That's pretty unbelievable!"As the two contenders battled it out, members of the Moseys looked at each other in surprise.Anders had long been an idol to everyone. In Dragonmarsh, only a few could be compared to him, and each was a top-tier
Anders shot the bald man a stern look. The bald man quickly apologized and ran away. He had intended to curry favor with Anders but was instead shot down by Anders."Men! Come here!" Anders gestured, and two guards rushed over, asking, "What are your orders, sir?""Deploy all resources and conduct a thorough investigation on Dustin Rhys. I want to know everything about him!" Anders commanded with a stern tone."Yes, sir!" The guards responded and promptly departed."Acting recklessly on my turf. Let's see who you really are!" Anders muttered, his expression cold.Knowing the opponent was a crucial part of a battle. With comprehensive information about his enemies, Anders believed he could deal with Dustin easily.…Dustin held Scott's head and confidently exited Jadeleaf Manor.He knew that his bold actions might lead to problems in the future, but he couldn't concern himself with that at the moment. His priority was to avenge Lana's death using Scott's death. It wouldn't
"What did you just say?" Matteo, who was still grieving, roared at Eleanor and Elena. His sorrow transformed into anger.Seeing things were getting out of hand, two of the Camron family members by his side quickly held Matteo back.One of them whispered, "Matteo, these two are heiresses from the high society. You can't afford to make a scene. Just let it slide.""Yeah, they're trouble. If something happens here, it will affect our whole family," another chimed in.Taking a deep breath, Matteo reluctantly suppressed his emotions."Mr. Camron, no need to get all worked up. You should watch your temper. It's not good for your health," Eleanor said, smirking.She was prepared for the occasion. She wasn't about to let the Camron family intimidate her."What do you want? My daughter's gone, and you're here to add insult to injury?" Matteo shouted."Hey, Mr. Camron, don't just accuse us like that. Lana was like a sister to us, and her passing genuinely saddens us," Eleanor said, prete
The Camron family members were in a frenzy, trying to figure out how they had attracted the attention of the Moseys. As a second-tier family, the Camrons knew they couldn't match the influence of a powerhouse like the Moseys. The Camrons knew that if the Moseys wished to, they could easily wipe the Camrons out overnight.Matteo's expression soured as he asked, "What do you want?" Despite his reluctance to admit it, the Camron family was still in serious trouble. They hadn't fulfilled the conditions promised to Scott. Even with his daughter's death, the threat loomed over them."Mr. Camron, no need to worry. We're here to help you through this tough time." Eleanor smiled."Yeah. Given our deep connection with the Moseys, if we vouch for you, the Camron family will be spared," Elena added confidently."Why are you helping us when we're not even related?" Matteo asked sternly. He wasn't buying their seemingly kind acts."Well, that brings us back to the deal I mentioned earlier
"Dustin? What in the world are you doing here?" Eleanor furrowed her eyebrows, her expression turning icy at the sight of Dustin. Their past encounters had already made them sworn enemies."Rhys! Why do you keep showing up everywhere? Seriously, talk about bad luck!" Elena grimaced in disgust. Their last visit to Camron Medicals had been a disaster. Instead of gaining an advantage, they faced severe criticism, deepening her resentment toward him."If you two are here for the Dew Balm formula, I strongly advise you to drop that idea right now," Dustin spoke coldly."What does it have to do with you? Stop butting into other's problems!" Eleanor huffed."Exactly! Your life is hanging by a thread, and you dare to meddle in our affairs? Are you trying to speed up your death?" Elena mocked.They knew well that Lana's death was linked to Scott, and they had come to take advantage of the situation. As for Dustin, he was just a step away from death. Once Scott's men went after him, h
The Camron family was terrified of what Scott was capable of.Eleanor's expression softened as she heard the Camron family's pleas. She calmly stated, "I'm willing to give you a chance. I'll hold off on that call and maybe even help the Camron family out of this mess. "But, like I said, you've got to hand over the Dew Balm formula.""No problem, we're good with that. We'll hand over the formula." Corey nodded eagerly.The Camron family's life was flourishing, and they weren't willing to risk their well-being for a simple formula.Eleanor turned to Matteo and asked, "Mr. Camron, what's your take on this?"Matteo pondered, biting his lip, and eventually gave a reluctant nod. The Welch and Forrest families seemed well-prepared and determined. The imposing presence of the Moseys left the Camron family with few options.The group with the secret that everyone desired now had to carry the weight of the sins of the guilty party that was aiming for their doom. This unexpected twist
"Just this pathetic bunch that are trying to pass off as experts? Can't imagine where you get that confidence." Dustin scanned the group with indifference."How outrageous!""This piece of shit sure is daring!"The thugs roared, clearly unhappy about being underestimated by someone younger."Still pretending to be all that, huh?" Elena huffed. Then she ordered, "Guys! Kick him out!""Yes, miss!" The thugs drew their knives and charged at Dustin."Get lost!" Dustin stepped forward, unleashing a powerful surge of energy.As if struck by a truck, more than a dozen thugs were sent flying. They landed several feet away, struggling to get up and coughing up blood.Everyone was shocked seeing this. The Camron family, Eleanor and Elena, were left speechless. No one expected Dustin to be that strong. He effortlessly sent a dozen skilled fighters flying with just one move.It seemed unreal."H-How is this possible?" Eleanor and Elena exchanged bewildered glances. They had brought
"Rhys! You're treading on thin ice!" Eleanor's face twisted into a menacing expression. "I'm warning you—kneel before me and beg for forgiveness! Or I'll bring in Scott Mosey, and he'll personally deal with you!"The Camron family immediately panicked at her words."Dustin! You've really messed up this time! These two are the heiresses of influential families. If you lay a finger on them, it's like poking a bear in the eye!""What are you waiting for? Get down on your knees and apologize! Otherwise, once Scott Mosey shows up, you're dead meat!""It's one thing to look for trouble, but dragging us into it? You've brought nothing but trouble to the Camron family!"As Eleanor and Elena witnessed the panic-stricken faces of the Camrons, they grew smug. So what if Dustin could throw a punch? Could he really take on the Moseys' army? Once Scott showed up, even if Dustin had some extraordinary abilities, he would only be sending himself to an early death!"What? Are you scared now
