Gavin was about to erupt in anger.He would die if they ran out of gas in this situation. "What should we do now, Sir?" The driver broke out in cold sweat as he glanced at the blinking gas tank indicator. There was nowhere they could hide in this desolate place. "Just hang on. Help is coming!" Gavin gritted his teeth and prayed that their backup would arrive soon. Or else, they'd be doomed. After ten minutes, the black Mercedes slowed down and gradually came to a stop by the roadside. Instantly, dozens of sedans swarmed the black car and blocked off all exits. Many Kirin Gang members rushed over with weapons in their hands. Dustin took the sword Cornelius was holding and slowly approached the Mercedes-Benz, his icy glare fixed on Gavin. "Get out. It's time for you to die.""Y—you better not mess around. My reinforcement will be here soon! Your men will all die if you hurt me!" Gavin snarled. "Burn their car," Dustin ordered."Burn it!" Cornelius waved his hand, and
"Oh, so you're apologizing now? Why didn't you think of the consequences before hurting others?" Dustin's murderous intent didn't lessen despite how much Gavin begged. "I—I got careless! I'm so sorry! Please let me go! I swear, I'll turn over a new leaf!" Gavin begged timidly.He had lost all his pride, and all he cared about was staying alive. "What makes you think you still have a chance to turn over a new leaf?" Dustin asked harshly. "I—I—I've got money. And connections! I'll do anything you want if you let me live!" Gavin tried to bargain with Dustin."I don't need anything besides your death," Dustin answered uncaringly. "D—Don't kill me! Please spare my life! I'll be very useful! I can help you obtain your goals and live a lavish life!" Gavin begged frantically, all trace of his arrogance earlier gone. "That doesn't interest me." Dustin swung his sword again, leaving a long, ragged gash on Gavin's back. Dustin wasn't in a hurry to kill the other man. Instead, he wan
A cluster of laser sights gathered on Dustin's body. "Three …"Derek raised his arm and began to count. Despite counting down slowly, there was intense pressure that followed his words. This tension was worse with the presence of all the armed soldiers. "Haha! You still didn't kill me, you bastard! As long as I'm alive, I'll be as good as new with my family's help. "But what about you? You're like a fish on the chopping board that I get to slice up however I like!" Gavin sneered. "Do you know why? Well, it's because you're nothing but a commoner! "That fact won't change no matter how much you struggle. Commoners like you should know their place. How dare you challenge someone as superior as me!" Gavin grinned madly. He regained his confidence now that Derek was here to support him. "There's some truth to what you said, but there was one thing you're mistaken," Dustin suddenly said. "What is it?" Gavin was puzzled. "I'm the one who will decide your fate."With tha
"Stop struggling! There's nowhere for you to run! There's still a chance you will live if you surrender now!" Derek snorted. The Killian family was influential in Oakvale, and it was suicidal to provoke them. "Shut up!" Cornelius slapped Derek's cheek, causing one of his teeth to fall out. Derek had no choice but to bite the rest of his words back. The helicopters flew lower. Their doors opened, and Charles and 36 death warriors hopped off. Although Charles didn't bring too many men with him, the soldiers he had were the best of the best. They would give up their lives for him if he commanded them to. "You're finally here, Mr. Killian! Save me! You have to arrest these arrogant bastards and punish all of them!" Derek shouted as soon as he saw Charles. The Killian family's death warriors were well known for being incredible warriors, so they could get rid of them easily. "Why are you being held hostage, General Lester? What about my son?" Charles frowned, a bad feeling c
Just like that, an exciting turn of events began. Charles wanted to kill Dustin, who was holding Derek hostage. While for Derek to save himself, he had no choice but to ask his men to aim their weapons toward Charles instead. Thus, the three parties froze up and didn't move. "How dare you defy me, Lester!" Charles hissed. "You forced me to do this! Since I will die anyway, let's all die together!" Derek yelled, throwing his pride aside now that he might die."Well, well. Since you seem so eager to die, let me help you!" Charles signaled to his men. "Get rid of these meddlesome soldiers first!""Yes, sir!"The 36 death warriors spun in unison and attacked Derek's soldiers. "Shoot them now!" Derek roared, and gunshots rang out as the battle began. Although Charles didn't have as many men as Derek, his men were much stronger than Derek's. The death warriors were like well-oiled fighting machines, and the soldier's bullets couldn't even graze them. After a round of fight
"What?" Derek gaped at the headless bodies in disbelief.He had witnessed how strong Charles' death warriors were and how they annihilated his men in less than two minutes. Yet, those beasts had been defeated with a single strike. That was impossible!"H—how is that possible?" Charles' eyes widened incredulously. Those had been insanely powerful fighters that his family spent a lot of time and effort training. They were invincible when they fought together. Unless someone were a Grandmaster, they wouldn't be a match for his men.Yet, Dustin had taken care of them with one swing. How was that even possible?Charles backed up in terror as the headless bodies fell to the ground with thuds. His eyes were filled with astonishment, dismay, and fear. "W—who the hell are you?" Charles paled. He didn't expect Dustin to be so strong, initially assuming he could take care of Dustin easily. "You have no right to know who I am," Dustin replied calmly. "You have two choices right
Both halves of Charles' body fell to the floor.Derek was shell-shocked as he watched Charles get sliced in two. He fell to the floor and began to tremble from head to toe.Sweat and urine pooled under his body.He never expected Dustin could be so ruthless. He'd killed the second son of the Killian family without any hesitation.He was fucking scary!"Sir Rhys, this bastard is the last one left. Should we kill him too?" Cornelius pressed his blade to Derek's neck once again."Don't kill me! Show mercy, hero! Show mercy!" Derek burst into tears of fright. He crawled over to Dustin on his knees, begging for his life in a frenzy.He was terrified. These people were insane and had no reservations.They dared to kill a big shot like Charles. What was he in comparison to that?"Forget it. This has nothing to do with him. Let him live," Dustin said indifferently."Sir Rhys, the Killian family has lost many of their members. They'll do a thorough investigation. If we don't tie up lo
The night passed quickly.The following day, all the members of the Kirin Gang were dressed in mourning suits. They stood at the entrance to the House of Heroes.The House of Heroes was where they kept the ashes of the Kirin Gang members.All disciples who died in the line of duty were regarded as heroes. They would then be kept in the House of Heroes for others to visit.One reason was to cherish their memory; the other was to serve as a warning.The Kirin Gang would care for the friends and family of those who make it to the House of Heroes. Their family would receive timely financial support to help with living costs.This way, the Kirin Gang members wouldn't have to worry about their families if they pass away one day.Dustin stood at the entrance of the House of Heroes. He held two human heads dripping with blood and walked to the memorial plaque in the middle of the room.The words, "In memory of Nelson Horst, guildmaster of the Flame Dragon Guild," were engraved on it.
