"Sorry, Dustin, I couldn't help you." Nikki was kneeling on the ground, feeling guilty."I didn't expect things to turn out that way. You worked hard, yet you didn't get anything in return.""I don't care about any of that. On the other hand, have you ever thought of leaving the Jade Maiden Sisterhood?" Dustin asked suddenly.He was upset when Brittany hit Nikki earlier but didn't intervene. Firstly, it was because that was an internal conflict within the Jade Maiden Sisterhood. Secondly, it was to make Nikki recognize reality sooner. "Leave? Why?" Nikki frowned."The Jade Maiden Sisterhood has a bad environment. They don't set good examples, either. It's not suited for someone like you," Dustin said bluntly."Hey! I won't let you insult my guild like that!" Nikki's expression hardened, upset with Dustin."Am I wrong? A guild that distorts the truth and doesn't follow reason won't have a future," Dustin stated calmly."Madam Edith treats me well. You just haven't noticed,

"Stop pretending! If it weren't because you harbored ill intentions, Edith wouldn't have gotten hurt!" Letitia shrieked."It wasn't me!" Nikki shook her head repeatedly. "I didn't do anything. I passed the Jade Maiden Scripture to Brittany right after I got it!""Shut up!" Brittany's expression shifted upon hearing her. She rushed up and slapped Nikki's face two times. She screamed, "You bitch! How dare you slander me? It's you who planned this!""Exactly! We all saw it! You were the one who handed the Jade Maiden Scripture over to Brittany!""It seems like it's true that you can never know someone completely. I can't believe you would be so bold to harm Madam Edith!" One after the other, the group of disciples condemned Nikki. "I didn't! I didn't! I would never harm Madam Edith!" Nikki panicked. She struggled to get up but was unable to move. "You bitch! Are you still trying to deny it? It seems like you still won't learn a lesson. Punish her with torture!" Letitia ordered

It was Cornelius who saved Nikki. When Dustin yelled, Cornelius appeared in front of them instantly. He grabbed the iron whip and broke it in half."How dare you!""You insolent bastard!"The Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples shouted. They were angry at Dustin and Cornelius for disrupting the punishment. Some took out their swords, looking ready to fight. Duistin ignored them and walked up to Nikki. His expression darkened when he saw her covered in wounds and looking close to death. It was one thing to steal credit; Dustin could have acted as if nothing happened. But now they had falsely accused a person and resorted to torture when things turned bad. It was outrageous!"All of you are fellow disciples. Do you think it's appropriate to use such inhumane methods?" Dustin scanned his surroundings, his gaze sharp. "We are punishing a traitor. Outsiders should leave immediately!" Letitia warned. "This is my territory. Naturally, it is my business when something has happened

"I will break your legs for humiliating Edith!" Letitia's gaze turned cold.She shot toward Dustin like a ghost. As a divine-level marital artist, her skills were second only to Edith and comparable to several elders of the Jade Maiden Sisterhood."Go to hell!" Cornelius' expression darkened when he saw Letitia trying to attack Dustin. He replicated Letitia's palm attack with equal force, resulting in a loud collision. He staggered a few steps back before steadying himself. But Letitia was sent flying a few meters away before crashing heavily into a large tree. It was like a car had hit her. The force left her coughing blood uncontrollably. "What?" The expressions of the Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples fell. Letitia's skills ranked among the top five of the Jade Maiden Sisterhood members. None of the disciples could match her power. Yet, she was severely injured by a skinny old man. It was astonishing! Even Edith appeared unsettled at that moment. They didn't expec

"Madam Edith!" The Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples were shocked to see Edith collapse. They surrounded her, trying everything they could to wake her up. But all their efforts were in vain due to the severity of her injuries. "Hurry up and get her a doctor!" Letitia commanded and got the disciples to carry Edith outside. "Injuries sustained from going to extremes in training are not something an ordinary doctor can treat. "Of course, if you admit to your mistakes and pay me five billion as a reward, I can consider saving Madam Parker," Dustin said impassively. "What nonsense! Five billion? Why don't you rob the bank instead?" Letitia glared at Dustin. "Edith is blessed and has luck on her side. Nothing will happen to her. "Even if she were on the brink of death, we will never beg for your help!" "Really? Good luck then." Dustin smiled. "Let's go!" Letitia wasted no time. With a wave of her hand, she led the group out. "Madam Edith!" Nikki struggled to approach them

Ruth's urgent voice quickly came through when the call connected."Dustin! Bad news! My sister is in trouble!""Trouble?" Dustin furrowed his brows. "What happened?""The family treasury has been robbed. My sister is the prime suspect. "They're going to use the house law on her!" Ruth exclaimed in panic."Try your best to hold them up. I'll be there as soon as I can!" Without a moment to spare, Dustin hung up and swiftly headed to the Harmons' residence with Cornelius.… Meanwhile, inside the Harmon's ancestral altar, a group of people blocked Natasha at the entrance. She was trapped with nowhere to go.The elders of the family were angry and filled with righteous indignation. They scolded her nonstop. "Natasha! How dare you conspire with outsiders to steal from the family treasury. You are truly an ungrateful daughter!""You have ruined our hundred-year-old legacy! How do you think you should be punished?""You bitch! How could the Harmons have raised such an ungrate

"Nonsense!" Hector knocked away the knife offered to him. "I know Natasha very well. She would never do anything like this! There must have been a mistake!"When Hector heard that his daughter was in trouble, he immediately rushed home. He didn't expect to be met with such a hostile scene as soon as he stepped inside.Were they going to enforce the house law? Who dared to enforce the house law while the head of the family was away? "Uncle Hector, it's impossible to know a person truly. Character is nothing in front of riches." Dylan shook his head and continued, "The treasury was robbed, and only you and your daughter have the keys. If it wasn't Natasha, was it you, then?""Nonsense!"Hector glared at Dylan and exclaimed, "As the family head, I consider myself upright and honorable. I would never do anything that harms our family!""Well, that's certainly unusual. If it wasn't you or Natasha, was it a ghost who did it?" Dylan asked sarcastically.The crowd was doubtful upon

"What?" Upon seeing the man, both Hector and Natasha frowned. They started to worry. "Uncle Hector, you should recognize this man, right?"Dylan walked around the attendant. "I caught this guy as he escaped with the treasures. "After a thorough interrogation, he confessed and admitted to his crimes. The key to the treasury is the evidence.""Hey! What are you still standing around for? "Hurry up and tell us the truth. This is your last chance to redeem yourself!" Kate stepped forward and kicked the attendant."It's not me … I had nothing to do with it!" With a thud, the man fell to his knees before pointing at Natasha. He groveled as he cried out, "It was all Miss Natasha's doing! She ordered me to do it. "I was just following orders. I don't know anything. "Please, I beg you, spare my life!""What are you talking about? When did I ever order you to do such a thing?" Natasha looked serious."Ms. Natasha, we have been exposed. There's no point in denying it. "You mi

"This is interesting." Dustin smirked as the dense barrage of swords came slashing down at him. In the blink of an eye, his figure dissolved into a wisp of smoke and vanished.A storm of sword shadows carrying the force that could split rivers and overturn seas crashed down on the fishing boat where he had just been standing. The entire vessel broke apart in an instant—some sinking into the depths while others drifted across the water."What? He dodged it?" Warrick's eyes flickered with surprise.Mulder's attack just now had been a 360-degree attack. Once caught in its range, there was no chance to dodge—only the option to endure. He couldn't understand how Dustin had managed to avoid it. Did he just teleport?"Hiding like a coward? What kind of warrior are you? Come fight me face-to-face."Frustrated after his attack missed again, Mulder grew desperate. His enhanced serum would only last for 15 minutes. If this dragged on, he'd collapse from exhaustion before Dustin even touche

"Oh? Are we going all out now?" Dustin smirked, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.Mulder, who had advanced to become a grandmaster martial artist through drugs, had a weak foundation. Even after taking the enhanced serum, he still posed no threat to Dustin. If Mulder were a hundred times stronger, he might just barely be able to fight Dustin.As the serum's effects pushed his body to the limit, Mulder suddenly let out a furious roar. His muscles swelled rapidly, and his bones cracked as they expanded. His body grew larger at an alarming rate, and his clothes tore apart under the strain.His six-foot frame stretched to nearly seven feet in mere moments as his body swelled to monstrous proportions. His face twisted fiercely, and his skin darkened as black scales surfaced.With another guttural growl, his roar turned beastlike. He grabbed his shredded shirt and ripped it away, exposing his broad chest covered in dark scales. A faint, eerie sheen flickered across their surface."D

Dustin's words made Mulder frown.Mulder knew all too well that Warrick was the kind of man who had no sense of loyalty or honor. If Warrick could kill his own personal guards without hesitation, what would stop him from killing a stranger? Mulder was certain that the moment things went south, Warrick would be the first to flee. Given the choice, he'd never willingly risk his life as Warrick's sacrificial pawn. But now, there was no turning back.With his undercover identity exposed and him helping Warrick escape, Mulder became a sworn enemy of West Lucozia. His name was now on the most-wanted list.Tonight was their best chance to escape. If they missed it, finding another way out would be nearly impossible.There was only one path left for him—kill whoever stood in his way and make it onto that escape boat."Enough talk, punk. Let's see what you're really made of," Mulder said.After weighing his options, he gritted his teeth and finally decided to draw his longsword. His fig

"You had your chance. Don't blame me for what happens next," Dustin said.With a slight squeeze of his fingers, the steel blades clamped between them shattered with a sharp clang.Before the two Hall of Gods members could even react, Dustin waved his hand.The two men were sent flying as if they'd been hit by a truck, hurtling over 30 feet through the air. Blood sprayed from their mouths and noses before they hit the ground. They were critically injured and on the verge of death.Dustin slowly turned his head and looked at the man who had just tried to ambush him.The man glanced at the broken sword in his hand, then at Dustin, who looked utterly unfazed. He hesitated for a split second—then bolted.With a powerful leap, he dove straight for the sea. He knew Dustin's strength was on a completely different level. There was no chance of outrunning him on land, so the only hope was to disappear into the water.It might have worked—if not for what happened next.Just before he hit

"You're not a fisherman? Who the hell are you?"Mulder's guard shot up the moment he got a clear look at the young man's face.Fishermen who spent their days at sea were usually tanned from the sun, but this one had a fair complexion. It felt a little strangeNoticing something was off, the men behind Mulder drew their blades and fixed their sharp gazes on the fisherman.The so-called fisherman standing guard wasn't just anyone—it was Dustin, who had been waiting for them all along.Since his plan was set in motion, he'd been stationed there from morning until midnight. After what felt like an eternity, his targets had finally arrived."Isn't it obvious? I'm here to capture you."Dustin rose from the deck and rolled his shoulders before speaking in an even tone. "If you don't want to die, surrender now. Otherwise, it'll be too late.""Watch out! It could be an ambush." Mulder swiftly pulled out his dagger. His sharp gaze scanned the surroundings for any sign of hidden troops.

As night fell, Warrick sat motionless in his room as he tried to calm his mind through meditation. He had always been able to clear his mind with ease. But tonight, no matter how hard he tried, focus eluded him. A restless unease settled over him and refused to let him relax.Nearly two hours passed before Mulder's scouts finally returned. This time, they brought good news.The smuggling route they had scouted was completely safe, with no signs of an ambush. The West Lucozia army had yet to discover this potential escape route.Once everything was confirmed, Mulder let out a breath of relief. Warrick, too, finally felt the weight lift from his chest."Since the route is safe, we should set out immediately to avoid any unexpected complications." Warrick said. He had no intention of waiting any longer. He was a wanted man, and every moment in West Lucozia increased his chances of capture. There was no telling when the army might surround him. Only by escaping to Thaloria would he

After a hearty meal, the burly Warrick sprawled lazily onto the bed and dozed off. He slept soundly till dusk, lost in a deep dream. When the sky was painted in brilliant hues of the setting sun, only then did he wake up leisurely.The exhaustion from the previous day seemed to have melted away. He felt invigorated, refreshed, and in high spirits.At that moment, Leigh had already set the table in the hall with quiet efficiency. Compared to the first meal, this spread was far more lavish.At the center of the table sat a whole roasted pig. Its golden-brown skin glistened with a rich, crispy sheen. The mouthwatering aroma filled the room, making it impossible not to crave a bite.Warrick had never been one for formalities. The moment he saw the feast, he didn't hesitate. He strode over, took a seat, and started digging in. He ate with zero restraint without sparing a single thought for Mulder, who was still out gathering intel.After a while, half of the roast pig was gone. His fac

"Who is it?" Warrick's grip tightened around the hilt of his steel blade. His eyes, sharp and alert, were like those of a startled predator—full of caution and menace.For the past few days, he had been on edge, like a cornered animal. He barely slept and was constantly on high alert, fearing danger would strike at any moment.The door slowly creaked open. An elderly man with gray hair stepped inside with a tray of fruit and pastries in both hands.Before he could even register what was happening, a flash of cold steel appeared, and Warrick's blade was at the elderly man's throat.The elderly man trembled with fear. The tray slipped from his grasp, and fruit and pastries scattered on the floor."Easy, Sir Prescott. He's one of us." Mulder stepped forward and pressed down on the flat of Warrick's blade with a finger. He smiled and explained, "His name's Leigh Houston. He's mute and has served the Hall of Gods for years. He keeps watch over this tunnel entrance and has never slipp

"Here's the problem—even if we know Warrick's intentions, how do we stop him?" Austin asked.Right now, Warrick had already disappeared without a trace. Austin's team hadn't even come close enough to get a hold of him, so there was no way to track him down.West Lucozia's vast territory and resources made it impossible to seal off every exit route completely. While it might be manageable in the short term, prolonging such an operation would significantly impact West Lucozia's economy. Wasting resources on a single fugitive wasn't a wise move."Warrick is a wanted man across the entire city. There's no way he's leaving through official channels. He'll have to sneak his way out," Dustin analyzed. He continued, "According to the maritime charts, if he's traveling from West Lucozia to Artea, he'll have to go through Thaloria. That's our lead. Get someone on it immediately—find out how many smuggling routes there are from West Lucozia to Thaloria.""Got it. I'll get it done right away
