"What …"As they watched Simba being sent flying, a stunned silence fell over everyone. Their eyes widened in disbelief. Some of them even doubted their eyes. Simba was over two meters tall. He had a massive figure and a muscular physique, just like a mountain. Meanwhile, Dustin looked thin and fragile. It was as if a gust of wind could blow him away. Under normal circumstances, Simba should have been the winner. After all, they had a clear difference in size. So, how did the situation reverse so suddenly? "What the fuck? Who the hell is this guy? How is he so strong?"The group exchanged shocked looks. Not even Evan could rival Simba, so how could this country doctor have defeated him? "Dustin, you're amazing!" After a brief shock, Sheila immediately cheered. If it weren't for Dustin intervening, she might not have survived."Don't be that impulsive next time. Your first priority should be your own safety in a situation like this," Dustin warned. This woman was willin
"You—!" While Vivian seethed in anger, there was nothing she could do. She could only endure in silence. She could only pray that Dustin would work faster. She sensed that she was losing blood, and her body was growing weaker. Three minutes later, Dustin finally finished treating the second man. As long as the bleeding was stopped, he wouldn't die immediately. "It should be my turn now, right? Hurry up and start treating me!" Vivian was getting impatient. She rushed Dustin repeatedly. Yet Dustin appeared completely at ease. He didn't feel any sense of urgency. He wiped his hands and stretched lazily before leisurely sipping on a cup of tea. "Hey! What are you doing? Help me stop the bleeding!" "Vivian was on the verge of losing her temper. She was nearly drained of blood. How could he be in the mood to enjoy his tea? "Why the rush? It's not like you're dying." Dustin glanced at her, still unmoved. "What do you mean I'm not dying? Don't you see that I was shot? Where's
The night grew deeper. It was particularly quiet at Auspicious Restaurant. The place wasn't as lively as in the morning. One reason was its secluded location, and the other was because it didn't operate at night. Suddenly, a muscular figure jumped over the walls. He skillfully went through the restaurant. The figure was headed to a private room on the second floor. When he arrived at the door, he gave it a light knock. "Come in." A dignified voice came from inside the pitch-black room. The figure opened the door cautiously. He immediately dropped to his knees when he got inside. Speaking toward a folding screen, he announced his arrival. "I'm here, sir.""You got injured?" The voice spoke again from behind the folding screen."I failed my mission. I encountered a powerful opponent and almost lost my life." Simba lowered his head. His expression was filled with fear and respect. Blood was dripping from his wounded arm onto the ground. It sounded jarring in the sil
"Mr. Rhys?""Mr. Franklin?" Dustin was surprised to see the chubby man before him. He realized that Simba's envoy was Samuel Franklin. He was the person who sold the Jade Maiden Scripture. "Mr. Rhys, I didn't expect fate to lead us to meet under these circumstances," Samuel said with a smile. His previous cold and chilling demeanor returned to one of gentleness. He appeared harmless and friendly."Mr. Franklin, you have quite the identity." Dustin narrowed his eyes. "I've heard that the Bounty Killers have three chief envoys. Each of them is known for their incredible power and abilities. I didn't expect you to be one of them.""I'm just making a living. It's nothing worth mentioning." Samuel smiled and made a gesture. "Mr. Rhys, please have a seat."Dustin didn't hesitate and took a seat. "Mr. Rhys, I'm impressed by your victory over Augustus Kline. Your reputation as a young grandmaster has shaken the world." Samuel brewed a pot of tea and poured it into two cups.
"This traitor has been very good at hiding himself. There haven't been any slip-ups so far." Samuel shook his head. He continued, "One thing for sure, they hold significant influence within the Hill family. They're either one of the Hill brethren or someone from the main family."The Hill brethren consisted of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. They were also Paul Hill's four sons. Each one held substantial resources and had ambitious goals. They were also smart in politics. "You might as well not have said anything." Dustin frowned. "There are so many people in the Hill family. How could I find a traitor in such a short time?"He had his suspicions before. But he couldn't find any concrete evidence."Relax, Mr. Rhys. It isn't exactly hard to find out who the traitor is. However, you would have to take a little risk." Samuel smiled meaningfully. "Oh? Do you have a plan, Mr. Franklin?" Dustin was interested."It isn't exactly a brilliant plan. It's just a matter of using
"What? There are no activities on their end?"Autumn listened to reports from one of his men in one of the courtyards of the Hill family residence. He couldn't help but wonder aloud, "Are you sure?""I'm very sure!"The man said seriously, "We kept watch on them for the whole of yesterday. All of them from the Kirin Gang had stayed in Zephyr Lodge. Not even one of them set foot outside." "What is the rascal up to?" Autumn mused.Dustin had been doing everything he could to gather information and investigate the issue for the past few days. It was truly suspicious now that he suddenly stopped all activities. "Keep your eyes on them at all times. Report back immediately once you have any information," Autumn instructed. "Yes, sir!" With that, the man turned and left.By the third day, there was still no activity from the Kirin Gang.They continued indulging themselves. They spent all their days either training or having fun. The atmosphere inside Zephyr Lodge was live
That night, most of the disciples from the Kirin Gang got themselves drunk in Zephyr Lodge—all except the patrol team.A group of ten people in spy suits snuck their way in. They quickly searched everywhere in Zephyr Lodge.The group of ten people moved around like ghosts. They made no sound when they landed, and their movements were quick and agile. They were hidden from plain sight. The Kirin Gang's patrol team noticed nothing amiss at all.The group of ten was made up of the Hill family's strongest force, the Hidden guards. Each one of them was extremely talented. All of them had also gone through rigorous training. They excelled in everything: assassination, undercover work, gathering information, and spying on enemies.There were two reasons why the Hill family was one of the Tremendous Three. Besides Paul Hill's identity as a grandmaster, another reason was due to the Hidden guards.They had greatly contributed to eliminating all the Hill family's enemies."Here it is."
"There's evidence on the corpse? It was left on his body before he died?"Autumn's brows furrowed as he thought about it.He had checked the corpse thoroughly when he handled it. He hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary.Could he have missed something?"Gather a few of our men. We're going to the hill behind the Hill family residence. "I'll open the coffin to check on the corpse tonight!"After thinking for a moment, Autumn quickly decided on his next action.He could not afford to take the risk. If he'd missed something, he'd be in huge trouble.He had to destroy any evidence before anyone found out!Thirty minutes later, Autumn and his trusted men secretly went to the hill behind the Hill family residence.This was where all the members of the Hill family were buried after they'd passed away. Paul was buried there, too.When they got to Paul's grave, Autumn bowed deeply and muttered to himself, "I'm sorry, Father. Please don't mind me."Then, he straightened up and
