"Logan Rhys?" The confidant's eyes widened in disbelief. "That's impossible. Wasn't he reported dead?""He just disappeared. That doesn't necessarily mean he's dead. At least we haven't found a complete body so far," Anders said solemnly. Ten years ago, the chaos happened suddenly and ended abruptly. After that night, Logan, who had all eyes on him, mysteriously disappeared. The only thing the authorities found was a charred body that they suspected to be him. However, the body was so badly burnt that it was impossible to identify. Due to the official announcement, many people came to believe that the body was indeed his. Only the sharp individuals were skeptical, as there were inconsistencies and uncertainties surrounding this issue. However, people gradually accepted this outcome as time passed without any news of Logan. It only came to his mind because he found a striking resemblance between Dustin and Logan. Not only were they both young and exceptionally talented,

"My Lord, they claim that they can help you deal with Scott's murderer and hope that you'll meet them," the guard said. "Oh, is that so?" Anders raised an eyebrow. After considering it briefly, he nodded. "Very well, let them in.""Understood." the guard acknowledged and promptly left.Soon, Eleanor and Elena were brought into the room. Eleanor appeared relatively fine, only her cheeks were slightly red. On the other hand, Elena appeared pale and disheveled. She struggled to move in her wheelchair and coughed occasionally. She looked especially weak. "Greetings, Sir Anders!" Eleanor bowed immediately upon seeing Anders. Elena struggled to get up from her wheelchair but was stopped by Anders. "All right, that's unnecessary. Please, both of you, straighten up.""Thank you, Sir Anders." Eleanor stood up straight and lowered her gaze, maintaining a respectful demeanor.Elena, on the other hand, couldn't help but steal glances at Anders from time to time, her heart racing. H

The night passed quickly.The next morning, Dustin suddenly received a phone call from Eleanor."Hello, Dustin. We'd like to talk with you. Can we meet?" Eleanor sounded gentle. "There's nothing for us to talk about. You can only blame yourselves for everything that happened," Dustin replied coldly."Dustin, I know I was wrong. I'm very regretful of my decisions. Please give me a chance to make amends." Eleanor pleaded. "Give you a chance? What about Lana? She didn't do anything wrong, but because of you, she's dead. Did you ever give her a chance?" Dustin remained unfazed."You've misunderstood the situation. Lana's death has nothing to do with us. I swear that I knew nothing about it at first," Eleanor spoke earnestly."Did you think I would believe you? You and Scott are birds of a feather," Dustin said coldly.Dustin had already experienced her cunning and selfish nature and how she never meant what she said. She would never have softened her stance if she hadn't been pu

After spending time with Dustin, she had gained a good understanding of him. Leaving aside other aspects, the way he treated his friends was admirable. "Look! He's here!" Right then, Elena seemed to have noticed something and pointed at the entrance.Eleanor followed her gaze and saw Dustin walking in slowly, dressed in white. To their delight, he had come alone. This would make it easier for them to execute their plan."Dustin, you're here? Please have a seat." As Dustin approached, Eleanor quickly greeted him with a warm smile. Her enthusiasm made it seem like they were reuniting old friends. Dustin just sat down without much courtesy and said coldly, "I'm here now. Just go straight to the point.""There's no rush. Let's have some drinks first, and we can talk slowly," Eleanor said with a pleasant smile as she poured Dustin a drink.However, Dustin remained seated quietly without any signs of movement. "Are you worried that I poisoned the drink? I'll drink first to prove

No one could deny that the woman was gorgeous and was considered an exceptional beauty. It wasn't only her looks. Her most striking feature was her seductive charisma that entranced anyone who gazed upon her."The Art of Seduction?" Caught in a momentary daze, Dustin swiftly snapped out of it. The woman in red had exuded a subtle, entrancing fragrance as she descended gracefully, enough to draw in anyone who inhaled it. That was just a small part of it. Her true strength lay in her gaze. Her every glance radiated a subtle light capable of stealing one's soul. This was one of the mystical arts of the martial arts world—the Art of Seduction. Clearly, the woman in red was far from an ordinary figure. "It's Holly Hudson! She's appeared!""As expected of one of the top ten beauties ranked on the Beauty Ranking, she is truly breathtaking!""If only I could spend one passionate night with Holly, I would die a happy death!""Holly is Grace Brothel's best card, but the only thing

Dustin had seen all kinds of beautiful women. A mere seduction art would not ensnare him. Did they really think he was controlled by instincts only? "Dear gentleman, why are you so mad?" After her descent, Holly wore an enchanting smile as she approached Dustin. She poured two glasses of wine and remarked, "Guests are always welcome here, and it's an honor to have you visit Grace Brothel. Allow me to raise the first toast."She lifted a glass from the table and downed the wine in one shot. Dustin grunted in acknowledgment and took a sip from his glass out of politeness."Dear gentleman, I'm friends with Ms. Welch and Ms. Forrest. I heard that there may have been a misunderstanding between both sides. "I'll be extremely grateful if you could overlook any past grievances," Holly said with a smile."Ms. Hudson, there's no need to involve yourself in our fight. It won't benefit you," Dustin said indifferently. "Since you appear to be a talented gentleman, I'm certain you also

Dustin glanced at the keys on the table and said meaningfully, "All this secrecy, just what are you scheming?""You sound as if two weak women like us are capable of plotting a scheme." Eleanor forced a smile."Yeah, we've sincerely repented and have no other ulterior motives. We swear on our lives!" Elena swore, going all out to convince Dustin.Eleanor's eyes twitched when she heard her, wishing she could slap her across the face. "For heaven's sake, why did you include me in your swear?" Eleanor muttered silently to herself."Since there's no scheming involved, let's head up together," Dustin said casually.Eleanor's expression froze.She glanced at Elena and was quick to come up with an explanation. "It's not convenient for Elena since she's in a wheelchair. I have to stay here and take care of her. "Besides, the murderer is treacherous. It's dangerous for us to go up there.""Exactly, it's too dangerous and inconvenient." Elena nodded repeatedly in agreement.Dustin co

Only those with absolute power and influence had the privilege to stay in the prestigious diamond suite."Sir, your room is ready. I wish you a delightful stay." After the bodyguard escorted Dustin to diamond suite four, he bid Dustin farewell and departed.Dustin approached the door and knocked gently, but there was no response.He sensed no apparent danger. At least, there was no imminent threat.Dustin unlocked the door with the key and walked straight in. Inside, he could smell the fragrance of scented candles. The room was also decorated in warm colors, creating a romantic atmosphere. Right across from the door was an elegant arrangement of sandalwood furniture adorned with fine wine and snacks.On the left, a partition draped in red lace concealed an assortment of intimate items. While on the right, a similar partition with white lace covered a bed and a wardrobe.Dustin's gaze swept around the area, and he soon noticed someone lying on the bed on the right. However

"Kill them all!"At Warrick's command, the Red Legion charged without hesitation. Blades flashed as they stormed toward the elite enforcement unit.This time, nearly a thousand Red Legion soldiers arrived. With their sheer numbers, they launched a pincer attack from both flanks, leaving the enemy with no way to fend it off."Form the Shield Formation!" Axel shouted upon seeing the dire situation. His men immediately sheathed their blades and raised their shields to form a defensive line. Their pursuit had cut them off from the main force. Since they were up against an enemy ten times their size, forming a defensive line was their best option.If they could stall for even a moment, reinforcements from the castle would arrive, and the tide would turn in their favor. Once that happened, the thousand-strong Red Legion would be the ones on the defensive.After a brief charge, the two forces collided.Warrick had personally trained the Red Legion. He selected only the most loyal and

Axel had no time to hesitate. He lunged forward and grabbed the overturned Dragon-Binding Net. Then, he used every ounce of his strength to pin Warrick down again."Get over here! We have to keep him restrained."As the net strained under Warrick's sheer power, Axel let out a roar and pushed his cultivation to the limit. His veins bulged and blood pounded in his ears. He threw every last bit of strength into holding Warrick down.For now, he managed to pin Warrick down, but the elite enforcement unit on the other side wasn't faring well. Warrick thrashed wildly, sending more than a dozen men swinging through the air. Some slammed into trees, while others crashed into walls. Within moments, the Dragon-Binding Net flipped over again.Several elite enforcement units tried to rush in and help, but they barely got close before getting hit by their own airborne comrades and sent flying.Against Warrick's Divine Strength, they were utterly outmatched. The regular guards didn't stand a

If Warrick had been at his peak, Axel might have been more cautious. But with Tranqurin coursing through his vein, Warrick had barely a fraction of his usual strength left. His power was still fading, and Axel wasn't about to waste the opportunity. He had to capture Warrick while he had the chance."Get the hell out of my way!"As the enforcers closed in, Warrick let out a furious roar and slammed his massive fist into the floor.With a loud explosion, the earth shook violently. The ground within dozens of yards cracked and caved in, splitting apart like a spiderweb. A powerful shockwave tore through the air, sending dirt flying and walls shattering. The entire meeting room collapsed into ruins.The elite enforcers, caught in the blast, were flung backward like ragdolls. They crashed to the ground, disoriented and battered. Even Axel was thrown back more than ten yards.Warrick panted heavily, his face pale and drenched in sweat. Forcing his internal energy into action had only

Austin's words were strong and commanding, each one landing like a thunderclap.Warrick felt the weight of his presence. His brow furrowed for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He glanced at the so-called evidence on the floor, showing no sign of panic or guilt. Instead, he said indifferently, "Your Highness, these dead men were nothing more than ants. Is this really worth making such a fuss over? I doubt you haven't killed anyone before."As the old saying went, the higher one climbed, the heavier one's purse. Warrick had clawed his way up, risking his life at every step for the sake of rising above the masses. Everyone had their own desires—some sought fame, others fortune. Some were greedy for money, some for power, and others reveled in the adoration of the masses. To achieve those things, one inevitably had to engage in shady dealings. It was an unspoken rule among officials, and Warrick saw nothing wrong with it."Ants?" Austin sneered. "Without these 'ant

The ashen-faced Huxley was dragged away. With his crimes exposed, his fate was sealed. His entire family would be implicated, and their assets would be seized.Those guilty would be punished, and even those who had merely benefited from his corruption would be held accountable. To put it bluntly, Huxley's entire family was about to be annihilated.Austin issued his next order once the bloodstains were cleaned up. "Axel, it's time to bring in the mastermind."With Huxley dealt with, the next step was to confront Warrick. Unlike Huxley, Warrick wouldn't be easy to deal with. After all, he commanded a large number of troops. If backed into a corner, he could become a major threat."Understood!" Axel responded respectfully, then turned to his subordinates. "Gather more men and come with me."Warrick had earned his prestigious position through years of fierce battles. On the battlefield, he was a one-man army, a warrior capable of taking on thousands. His strength was beyond what mos

"You bastard! With all this evidence in front of you, what do you have to say for yourself?" Austin barked."Your Highness, please let me explain…" Huxley broke out in a cold sweat, his voice trembling with panic."This is a lie. Someone's trying to frame me! I've always followed the law—how could I possibly be involved in something so vile?""The evidence is right in front of you, and you're still trying to weasel out of it?" Austin shot back. "Looks like you won't confess until death is knocking at your door."He raised his hand and ordered, "Guards, throw him into Grimhold Keep. Use whatever means necessary—let's see how long he keeps up this act.""Yes, Your Highness."A squad of enforcement team members rushed in and surrounded Huxley.Cornered, Huxley finally lost his nerve. He dropped to his knees with a thud and begged, "Your Highness, I admit I made a grave mistake."His voice cracked as he continued, "I wasn't thinking clearly at the time. Please, for the sake of my y

Night had fallen. Austin sat in the meeting room, quietly reading a book as he waited for the results of the investigation.After successfully turning Percival against his allies, it was only a matter of time before they uncovered solid evidence of Warrick and Huxley's crimes.For years, the castle had turned a blind eye to their shady dealings. After all, corruption among officials was nothing new.But this time was different. The two had secretly orchestrated Jovian's murder, a direct challenge to the authority and dignity of the royal family. Such defiance couldn't be ignored. If Austin didn't set an example, others would surely follow."Your Highness!"Axel burst into the meeting room, panting heavily. He had clearly run the whole way to avoid any delay.Austin set his book aside and asked calmly, "Well? How did it go?""Your Highness, we've completely shut down all of Warrick and Huxley's illicit operations. Every hidden network they had built over the years has also been d
Chapter 2471
At that moment, Percival truly panicked. Earlier, he had only worried about being implicated. But now, faced with such a serious accusation, he was completely caught off guard."Hmph! The evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare deny it? Do you want me to torture the truth out of you?" Austin barked."Your Highness, I'm innocent!" Percival was so terrified he was on the verge of tears. He raised his hand and swore, "If I had anything to do with Jovian's death, may I be damned for eternity.""If swearing oaths proved innocence, we wouldn't need an enforcement team," Austin said coldly. "Out of respect for your years of service to West Lucozia, I'll give you a chance to come clean and receive a lighter sentence. Tell the truth now, or I'll throw you into Grimhold Keep."At the mention of Grimhold Keep, Percival began to shake uncontrollably. Tears and snot ran down his face as he wailed, "Your Highness, I swear I didn't do anything. Who's the bastard making up these accusations?

Ten minutes later, Warrick was escorted out of Room A1 again.Axel's demeanor had completely changed since their first meeting, and he had become unusually warm."Sir Prescott, Lord Austin has concluded the investigation. It turns out this matter has nothing to do with you. We made a mistake earlier, and I apologize for any offense caused." He smiled apologetically and spoke with a humble tone."Hm?" Seeing the fawning expression on Axel's face, Warrick raised an eyebrow and looked surprised. Just moments ago, the two sides had been at each other's throats. What had caused such a sudden change?"Did you really investigate it thoroughly?" Warrick asked tentatively."Of course! According to our findings, Jovian's disappearance was the result of a personal vendetta from his enemies in Oakvale," Axel said with a straight face.He continued, "He was a tyrant and always stirring up trouble everywhere he went. He got what was coming to him. Lord Austin only launched the investigation
