It was obvious that someone was trying to frame Dustin for James' death, but who? Was it the Doyle family or the Grant family? Or perhaps someone he had never met before. And why would they do this? Were they trying to turn Dahlia against him?Dustin stared at the black needle he was holding. He wanted to explain everything to Dahlia but stopped himself. He knew that in her current state, she would never believe him.Besides, all he had was the needle, which wasn't enough to prove anything. He would only be able to prove his innocence when he found the real killer. Just then, the sound of the phone ringing tore through the air. Dustin fished out his phone and saw that it was Nelson. "Hello? Great timing, Nelson. There's something I need you to—" Before Dustin could finish what he wanted to say, a panicked voice rang out. "We're in trouble, Sir!""What's happening?" Dustin frowned. "A bunch of martial artists just randomly barged into our dojo and began beating our men up. They are
"Hey, motherfucker. I bet you didn't expect me to come for you so soon." Maggie sneered. "I've warned you not to cross me, or you'd be dead meat. I bet you're shaking in fear now, aren't you?"As soon as she went home, she ordered her men to look into Dustin and discovered that he was the leader of the Flame Dragon Gang. Her cousin Terry had been the one who was controlling that gang, so how dare Dustin touch that gang!She immediately went to report her findings to Terry, secretly exaggerating the story, which led to the current situation. "Wasn't yesterday's lesson memorable enough? Why would you ask for another beating?" Dustin asked nonchalantly."A beating? Haha! Look around you. You're surrounded by martial artists who work under my family!" Maggie yelled. As the only martial arts family among the Fabulous Five, the Doyle family focused more on security and provided martial arts assistance, which was why despite being the weakest of the five families in terms of wealth, their p
"Hey, kid. You should've listened when they told you to run, but unfortunately, it's too late now." Bennet stepped closer to Dustin. Soon, Bennet was less than 20 feet away from Dustin, which was the best range for an attack. There was no way Dustin could escape from him. "When did I ever say that I wanted to run?" Dustin retorted calmly. "Do you still plan to resist after hearing my nickname?" Bennet sneered. "Resist? No, you misunderstand me. I'm merely going to knock you out." Dustin corrected. "Knock me out? Pfft!" Bennet sniggered. "Fine. I'll give you a chance. I won't move from this spot. You have three chances to strike me. I'll let you go if you can make me take even a single step backward."His words put a smirk on Maggie's and the others' faces, who were all aware that Bennet's body was impenetrable. Even those of the same rank as him couldn't break through his defenses. So everyone was confident that even if Bennet let Dustin attack him thirty times without protecting h
Flabbergasted, everyone gaped at Bennet, who landed on the floor with a crash. None of them expected someone as powerful as Bennet to be defeated with only one punch.Wasn't he supposed to have an impenetrable body and be insanely strong? How was he defeated so easily?"I—impossible!" Maggie's gleeful expression had vanished and was now replaced by aghast. This was Maniac they were talking about. A revered Divine-level martial artist who was also Terry's best fighter. She couldn't believe that such a powerful person had been defeated by a single punch from Dustin. "Is this Sir Rhys' true strength? He's terrifying." Nelson's eyes were wide open with disbelief. Bennet was well known for his strength, which made him the best fighter in the Doyle family. He had never lost a single battle and was even strong enough to eliminate the Flame Dragon Gang by himself, yet he had been defeated by a single attack from Dustin. That was incredible!There was a pregnant pause before the uproar bega
"I don't think you understand the situation here. You're the rat in the trap right now, not me." Dustin reminded. The Flame Dragon Gang disciples, who had been suppressed by Bennet earlier, sprung up excitedly now that they had a fighting chance against the Doyle family. "What? Are you challenging my family?" Maggie yelled. "So what if I am? Since I've already offended your family, I might as well see things to the end." Dustin retorted fearlessly. "You!" Maggie seethed. She didn't expect Dustin to be crazy enough to completely disregard her family. "Ms. Maggie, this place isn't safe anymore. We should retreat and regroup." One of the martial artists next to her whispered. There was no way they could hold out against so many gang disciples, especially with Dustin around. Maggie sucked a deep breath and eventually ordered, "Retreat!" "Who said you could leave?" With a fierce stomp, true energy burst out, and the Doyle family martial artists were sent flying into the air, causin
"Are you threatening me, Ms. Doyle?" Dustin narrowed his eyes, a small smile on his lips. "I'm just giving you a piece of advice!" Claudia snapped. "Terry is the one who's protecting Maggie. He won't let you off the hook if you touch even a single strand of her hair.""Terry Doyle?" The Flame Dragon Gang disciple instantly began shaking in fear. In the martial world, Terry was not only treated as the brightest individual of the Doyle family but was also a powerhouse whose name was on The Heavenly Immortals and stood atop all his peers. There were even rumors that he might be the next leader of the martial arts world.To sum things up, Terry was a blessed individual who was born into a prestigious family and had the guidance of the most esteemed masters, while potentially becoming the next leader of the martial world. Even meeting just one of those conditions was amazing enough, yet Terry ticked all the boxes. So, who would dare challenge him?"So what? Does that guy have three heads
It was like bringing a knife to a gunfight!"You piece of shit! You're crazy! Who gave you the balls to challenge Terry?" Maggie cackled. Although Dustin's behavior had shocked her, she was pleased since she couldn't wait to see him die in Terry's hands."S—sir, y—you can't!" Nelson went as white as a sheet, and his knees went weak. Dustin had taken his joke way too far. Challenging Terry was nothing short of a suicide mission. "Since we already have a grudge against each other, we might rip off the band-aid. Go home and ask Terry if he has the guts to accept my challenge." Dustin shocked everyone once more.Since the conflict between him and Terry wasn't just a small issue, it'd be better to just get things over with. Terry was the Doyle family's sturdy boulder, and Dustin planned to demolish their confidence once and for all!"Do you have a death wish?" Claudia hissed. "The outcome is still unclear, so you shouldn't make assumptions so soon," Dustin responded calmly."How foolish!
At the training grounds of the Doyle family mansion, ten heavily armed elite martial artists were surrounding an unarmed young man. The man had long, flowing hair and a handsome face with a sharp gaze. His movements were swift and graceful as he effortlessly evaded the attacks from the ten martial artists with his hands clasped behind his back. What made him more fearsome were the weights he was carrying. Tied all over his body were a bunch of hefty, dark steel weights that could make even the best Divine-level martial artists struggle. Yet the man seemed completely unbothered by the weights as he toyed with the other fighters. The only person who could do something like this was the Doyle family's genius, Terry Doyle! "N—no more, Mr. Terry. We give up." 30 minutes later, the ten fighters had all collapsed onto the floor, panting and sweating buckets. Each of them was a well-known fighter in the martial arts world, yet even with their combined efforts, they hadn't even been able to
