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.
The woman's eyes widened. Knowing she was in trouble, she used her sword to block.The white beam hit the blade, forcing the woman backward. She almost tripped and fell.Blood dripped from her mouth. The hand that was gripping the sword was numb. She couldn't move."Who are you? Why are you stopping me?!" The woman frowned with a dark expression.She didn't know such a skilled martial artist would be hiding in this lowly Kirin Gang."I'll kill you for trying to assassinate our gang leader!" Cornelius was about to attack again when Dustin stopped him. "Young lady, who are you? Why did you try to kill me when you got here?""You killed my brother! I'm here to take revenge!" the woman said indignantly."Your brother? Are you from the Killian family?" Dustin's eyes flashed coldly."The Killian family? My name is Horst, Nikki Horst!" the woman shouted."Nikki Horst? Then your brother must be …" Dustin's eyebrows knitted."My brother is Nelson Horst!" Nikki's words shocked the au
"If you don't stab me today, you won't get the chance again," Dustin reminded Nikki.As he spoke, he slowly pulled out the sword in his abdomen and tossed it back to her."Hmph! I don't need you to tell me what to do! I'm here to say goodbye to my brother, so I'll let you live to see another day. When I'm in a bad mood again, I'll come to end your life!"Nikki elbowed past Dustin and stormed toward the House of Heroes."Sir Rhys, why didn't you dodge just now? That woman is horrible. What if you got hurt?" Cornelius was very concerned. "I owe her that." Dustin shook his head while looking serious.Every time he remembered Nelson's horrible death, he felt remorse and guilt.At least he felt slightly better after that stab."Sir Rhys, let's bandage your wound." Cornelius sighed softly. Then, he waved a disciple over and asked him to treat Dustin's injury.As the gang leader, Dustin was deeply caring and loyal. Of course, that was a good thing.But to become a hero and lead the
There was only one possibility. Nikki and her group must have arrived in the Southern province much earlier."You guessed it right. I have come to Balerno for an important matter." Nikki didn't deny it and started to glance around the area."You have a nice, spacious place here. The Jade Maiden Sisterhood needs a place to stay for the time being. Do you mind if we stay here?""We do have plenty of space. You can settle down here if you want. I'll have someone make arrangements," Dustin agreed readily. He wondered if guilt made him feel obligated to agree to all her requests. "Hmph! Smart move!" Nikki nodded in satisfaction and took out a red pill. She told him, "Here, this is Haemotrol. It not only helps you recover, but it also boosts your internal energy and cultivation. Since you got injured, it should help.""Thanks." Dustin flashed her a weak smile. He could tell Nikki wasn't a bad person. "No problem. Consider it payment for accommodations." Nikki then took out her ph
"Excuse me, miss. Please get your facts straight. This is my territory. I'm the one giving out orders here." Dustin pushed Brittany's sword away with a finger. He demanded stoically, "You can only stay if I say so. If I don't allow it, then you need to leave. Understand?""How dare you? You dare refuse us?" Brittany glared at Dustin."I'm the Jade Maiden Sisterhood's lead disciple. I'm a goddess everyone looks up to! Do you know how many outstanding men line up to impress me every day? I'm giving you a chance. Don't be ungrateful."Because of her status, men fawned over her everywhere she went. Nobody dared to go against her will. "I'm sorry, I'm not like your fanboys. I'm not interested in you at all. Please don't think so highly of yourself," Dustin responded impassively."You—!" Brittany seethed in anger. It was the first time a man was not fawning over her beauty. How dare he ignore her?"Hey, I'm warning you! Nobody has ever rejected Brittany's request! You better not m
