The fact that Hector was arrested caused quite a stir among the members of the Harmon family.

Everyone was rushed off their feet, using whatever connections they had to prove Hector innocent. Hector was the patriarch of the Harmons; he represented the family. If he was really charged with murder, not only would he be ruined, but the whole Harmon family would also be terribly criticized by the public.

After giving out the order, Natasha called some of the trustworthy people to her room to discuss the countermeasures. Not everyone in the family stood on the same side. Trent and Jacob harbored their own thoughts. She naturally didn't trust them.

"What do you think about this matter?" Natasha asked, glancing around.

"Could it be that Dad got sloshed for real, so he ..." Ruth trailed off.

Before Ruth saw the video, she was sure that her father was not the kind of person who would commit such a crime. However, now that the evidence was right before her eyes, she couldn't help but doub

    "Azalea?" Natasha arched her brow. "Do you know her?""If I guessed it right, it was her who disguised herself as Celeste," Dustin said. The fragrance lingering on the silver hairpin was exactly the same as that of the woman from that day."It's her?" Natasha frowned slightly. "Could it be she's the one behind this?""We'll know more about it after I meet up with her tonight." Dustin narrowed his eyes. Since that person had invited him out, it was clear that she must have known something."This woman is full of guile and good at using poison. Do you think this is a trap?" Natasha was worried. "Don't worry. Even if it's a lion's den, I'll be able to come out unscathed." Dustin smiled faintly. "No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'll send a group of shadow guards to protect you," Natasha said with a solemn expression.The Dark Lord's disciple was nowhere near kind. Natasha didn't want Dustin to risk his life.With how insistent she was, Dustin didn't refuse her anymor

    "Whoa, I've never seen such a hot body before!""I don't need to look at her face. Her fair and slender legs alone are enough to get me hooked for a year!" "Damn, I can't take it anymore! She is fucking seductive!"The moment the veiled woman showed up, all the black-clad men had a hard time holding back their lusts. The sexy curves of her figure were flawless, especially her wonderfully-proportioned legs. They were literally perfect for those with foot and leg fetishes.Rubbing his chin, Steven ogled at her. "Hey, beauty. Are you the owner of this restaurant?" "That's right. What do you want to eat?" The woman wore a sweet smile and slowly walked up to them. "What a nice smell!" The men kept sniffing, immersing themselves in her fragrance that was tickling them pink. "Can I eat you?" Steven gave her a lascivious grin."Me?" The woman chuckled. "I'm a thorny person; I don't think you'll be able to stomach me.""It's okay. There is no rose without a thorn," he uttered, lic

    "You—" Steven was seething. He spat out a mouthful of black blood and died on the spot. In three minutes, all the black-clad men collapsed to the floor and kicked the bucket."Miracle doctor, I've helped you get rid of all the nuisances. It's only two of us now." The veiled woman came over with a charming smile and sat beside Dustin. "Don't you think you should thank me for solving your problem?""Well, they were not really a problem to me. Let's get down to business. What's your motive for calling me here?" Dustin asked. "I'm just a weak lady; what kind of motives can I have? Don't think of me so badly." Azalea teased."If that's the case, tell me. Who framed Hector? And where is the killer?" Dustin cut right to the chase. "Nothing comes for free in this world. You've got to pay a price if you want to know the answer to that." Azalea stretched out her finger and stroked his chin intimately."What do you want?" Dustin pushed her hand away."Can I have you?" Azalea shot him a

    "What are you talking about?" Dustin tightened his grip around Azalea's neck, suffocating her so hard that her face flushed. Without feeling any ounce of fear, Azalea smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "If I die, not only you won't be able to catch the murderer, but Natasha will also suffer. You'd better think about it properly.""Are you threatening me?" When Dustin narrowed his eyes, a touch of murderous intent was laced in his gaze."I dare not. This is just my advice to you." Azalea curled up the corners of her lips."What exactly do you want?" Dustin demanded coldly.Instead of saying anything, Azalea pointed at her neck. Her message was loud and clear.With a slight frown, Dustin still let go of her neck. Azalea slumped down on the floor in an instant and panted heavily. "It hurts. Miracle doctor, I was just joking. Why did you have to be so rough?" "I have no time to joke with you. You'd better tell me everything that you know." He shot her a piercing glare."Fine.

    Natasha would definitely do whatever she could to save Hector, and her concern for her father would only make her fall into traps easily. At the thought of that, Dustin immediately took out his phone and dialed Natasha's number. However, the line couldn't get through."She's not picking up? In that case, it seems like the Grant family has made their move," Azalea remarked. "Miracle doctor, time is tight. You have to choose whether to go to the safe house to catch the murderer or to save Natasha. You can't have your cake and eat it too." "Only kids will choose. I want both!" As Dustin spoke, he made a hand gesture at the window. Soon, Isfrid hurriedly walked in with a few shadow guards."Mr. Rhys, we are at your command," Isfrid said respectfully.Dustin handed the piece of paper with the safe house's address to Isfrid. "This is where the murderer is hiding. Bring your men and head over there right now.""What about you, Mr. Rhys?""I have something else to do. Hurry up and

    "What did you say?" Natasha knitted her brows. "Didn't you hear me? I said, take off your clothes!" Jayla repeated with her voice raised."Don't you go overboard!" Natasha's expression was cold. How could she possibly remove her clothes in public? That was extremely humiliating for her! "So what if I do?" Jayla sneered. "I hold something over you right now, and you got no choice but to listen to me!"This was the reason she sent Hector to jail—demeaning Natasha. Jayla muttered inwardly, "This is the price to pay for refusing to get married into the Grant family!"She needed to make Natasha suffer in order to vent her anger. "Jayla, you'd better not overstep the line," Natasha said in a deep voice."Natasha, haven't you figured out what the current situation is?" Jayla laughed wildly. "You're in my territory. Whatever happens to you depends on me. Hurry up and take off your clothes!""Take off!" "Take off!"The masked guests began to shout in excitement, and most of them

    Clenching her teeth, Jayla chewed Natasha up while scratching the latter's face mercilessly."Ahh!" With an ear-piercing wail, Natasha finally passed out due to extreme pain. Her beautiful face was now covered in fresh blood. It was a ghastly sight. "That was fast, but I haven't had enough fun yet." Jayla smiled evilly. "Strip off her clothes and hang her up!" "Yes!"The two female bodyguards obeyed and immediately removed Natasha's clothes until she was only left with her underwear. Then, they hung her in the middle of the dance floor and poured a bucket of icy water down her head.Natasha shuddered, gradually regaining consciousness. "Natasha, haven't you been acting noble and virtuous all the while? Today I'm going to show you what it feels like to be humiliated!" Jayla continued, "See these people around? They'll be accompanying you tonight. I'm going to take a video of the whole process and send it to your boyfriend for him to enjoy.""Y—you monster!" Natasha gritted her

    "Stop!" A thunderous voice rang out, causing the crowd to fall into silence in an instant. Startled, everyone looked over at once and saw a tall figure walking in, exuding an overwhelming wave of murderous intent. Tension immediately ensued in the atmosphere, which was on fire just a moment ago. Those who were in revealing clothes couldn't help but shudder. "Dustin?" When Natasha saw who it was, a wave of joy flooded her, as if she had found a life savior. "So it's you!" Jayla snorted upon taking a closer look at him. "Why do you have to bring trouble on yourself when you can easily avoid it? Today I'm going to let you watch your woman being humiliated!" "All of you deserve death!" Seeing Natasha being hung up and covered in bloody scratches and wounds, Dustin clenched his fists hard, his expression darkening. A great sense of wrath flooded his soul so intensely that he almost lost his mind."Rhys, are you furious? But so what? Your woman is in my hands right now. I can do wha

    While Dustin was away, Natasha couldn't help but worry about him. She would always keep an eye out for any news about him. But no matter how much she missed him, she wouldn't call him. She didn't want to distract or cause him to lose focus on the important matters concerning the nation's affairs. Understanding how busy he was, she kept her feelings in check and buried herself in work to keep her mind occupied.But when Natasha finally saw Dustin again, all the emotions she had bottled up came rushing out. Months of longing turned into overwhelming affection, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.Her assistant, Tanya, watched in shock. She had no idea Natasha—typically the poised, decisive, and commanding chairwoman—was in a relationship. What surprised her even more was how different Natasha seemed around Dustin. The usually unshakable "queen" now appeared soft and tender in his presence.Tanya couldn't help but watch Dustin more closely. His looks and charisma were u

    Dustin had boarded the plane back to Oakvale. His trip to Sacred Wrym Summit had been full of ups and downs. From the Combat Tournament to the invasion of the Hall of Gods, his journey had been perilous. Thankfully, the outcome was favorable. He had won the championship at the tournament, acquired three Dracan essences, and ultimately foiled the Hall of Gods' plan. In every way, the mission had been nearly flawless.After bidding farewell to his newfound allies, Dustin joined Grace on the return flight. Four of the five Dracan essences had already been gathered, leaving only one remaining. According to Grace, the last essence had been located, and the person holding it was in Oakvale. Though their identity was still unknown, she suspected it was most likely one of the three princes.With the position of heir to the throne still uncertain, the three princes were all eager to secure their power. Whoever obtained the Dracan essence would be blessed with fortune and have a higher c

    The chaos of the night quickly settled.By morning, as the first light of dawn broke across the horizon, Sacred Wrym Summit had regained its usual tranquility. Yet, the bloodstains across the ground and the wreckage of buildings stood as grim reminders of the previous night's violence.The military forces summoned by Grace had already taken the Hall of Gods' prisoners into custody.Rumors spread like wildfire, fueling gossip throughout the martial world as all the major guilds watched with keen interest. After all, very few in history had ever dared to challenge Sacred Wrym Summit, and a bold invasion aimed at destroying it was nothing short of unprecedented.The outcome was clear to all who bore witness. After many years, the world had come to recognize the true terror of Arion. He was no mere mortal—he was almost a godlike figure.…Inside the Hall of Gods' headquarters in Streuqua, the core members were gathered, seated in two rows on either side of the grand hall.On the thr

    After dealing with the Hall of Gods' elite fighters, Arion disappeared in a blur. When he reappeared, he was hovering above the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit.The scene at the entrance to the forbidden ground was one of utter carnage. Bodies lay strewn across the ground, and rivers of blood flowed freely. All members of the Hall of Gods, including Hank, lay motionless on the ground.Dustin and Willard, both covered in blood and exuding killing intent, had fought fiercely. After a long, grueling fight, they succeeded in defending the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit. They had thwarted the Hall of Gods' plan to destroy the Dracan force.At that instant, Dustin seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up. Through the mist and darkness, he pinpointed Arion's figure hovering above. Arion smiled faintly and nodded at Dustin before disappearing again.Crossing several mountains in mere seconds, Arion arrived above the Sacred Wrym Summit's grand hall. Below, the discipl

    When the dust finally settled, Arion was the only one left standing.Bailey, Willem, Anthony, Batuul, the three elite assassins from Eskus, and several gods from the Hall of Gods were either dead or gravely injured.Willem's body had been blasted into countless pieces. Each fragment wriggled on the ground as it struggled to piece together. Batuul fared even worse. He was utterly obliterated, leaving no trace behind, not even ashes. On the contrary, Bailey and the three Eskus assassins had both their arms severed and were gravely wounded. Though Anthony's limbs were still intact, his crushed internal organs left him coughing up blood. The backlash from the demonic blade had also taken a devastating toll on his body. He now appeared decades older, his face gaunt and hollow, his hair gray. His frail frame made him look like a man standing at death's door."H-How is this possible? No… this can't be happening!" Bailey's expression was a mixture of shock and disbelief as he stared a

    Arion's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard. They stared, wide-eyed and slack-jawed. What was going on? Wasn't Arion already dead? How could he be standing there in front of them? Could it be a ghost?They exchanged baffled looks, and their faces were filled with disbelief. They couldn't make sense of it. How could Arion possibly be alive? It was beyond their comprehension."You… you're not dead?" No one was more shocked than Willem. After all his effort, he had finally found the chance to bite into Arion's neck and drain every drop of his blood.He was certain Arion had died—there was no way he could have survived. But if Arion was dead, who was this person standing before them?"Everyone, calm down!" Bailey spoke up. "Arion's body is still over there. This person must be an imposter."At his words, everyone turned to look at the corpse lying nearby.Bailey was right. The body was still there, and there was no way Arion could still be alive. So, the person in front o

    As the Snow Maiden attacked, Batuul's illusory Elephantine stirred into action. With a mighty roar, it charged forward and slammed into Arion. Its tusks, sharp as spears, aimed directly at his chest.Caught in the swirling snow, Arion couldn't avoid the attack and quickly invoked the Glow Incantation to shield himself. The tusks collided with the barrier in a deafening crash. The impact sent Arion flying, and the golden light surrounding him shattered like glass. Clearly, the illusory Elephantine's strength had far exceeded the Glow Incantation's limits.As Arion was tossed into the air, the three-headed, six-armed Chimera Wrath seized its moment. With six different weapons in hand, it launched a relentless assault.Arion swung his sword to block but was driven further back with each blow. With no solid footing in midair, his agility was useless against the onslaught.After several exchanges, one of the Chimera's weapons struck Arion squarely in the chest, sending him crashing to

    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
