chapter 1045​



A red carpet stretched for hundreds of meters, extending from the entrance of the mansion to the reception hall.

Today, Trent Harmon officially assumed the position of the Harmon family's patriarch, a position that had previously been acknowledged internally but was now publicly announced.

As a result, the Harmon family invited many guests to hold a celebration banquet.

Anyone who had a good relationship with the Harmon family or wanted to curry favor with them came to congratulate them.

With Trent Harmon as the leader, the core members of the Harmon family had all gathered in the conference hall.

However, compared to before, there were far fewer people.

After these days of transformation, nearly half of the core members had been suppressed and pushed out. Those who could sit here were Trent Harmon's trusted subordinates and dependents.

"Big Brother, after today, you will be the well-known patriarch of the Harmon family. Congratulations."

Jacob Harmon raised his fists and was the first to offer his congratulations.

"The patriarch is wise, valiant, and possesses great foresight. You are the outstanding leader of our Harmon family!"

"That's right! I believe that under the leadership of the patriarch in the future, our Harmon family will surely prosper even more!"

"Patriarch, you're mighty!"

The people of the Harmon family exchanged words of praise, and Trent Harmon was delighted, feeling as if he were on top of the world.

He had never realized before that being the patriarch would be so majestic and awe-inspiring. The feeling of standing above tens of thousands of people was truly wonderful.

"After today, I will be the patriarch of the Harmon family, and all of you have contributed greatly. After this is over, I will reward everyone accordingly, and I promise not to treat anyone unfairly!" Trent Harmon said confidently.

"Thank you, Patriarch!"

The people were overjoyed and got up to pay their respects.

"Eldest Uncle, today you ascend to the position of patriarch, and in a few days, Kate will marry into the Grant family. It's truly a double blessing!" Dylan Harmon said with a smile.

"That's right."

Jacob Harmon nodded with a smile. "The Grant family is one of the Three Supreme Families, and Trent Grant is a natural talent. With such an outstanding son-in-law, Big Brother, you'll soon be able to dominate the provincial capital with a single hand!"

"Yes, with the marriage alliance between our two families, it's undoubtedly a mutually beneficial partnership. We can work together to dominate the provincial capital, and it's just around the corner!"

Many people echoed these sentiments.

Looking at it positively, the two families allying could complement each other and could create a brilliant future together, becoming the overlords of their region.

"Speaking of which, I don't understand why Uncle Hector is so foolish as to refuse the marriage alliance with the Grant family. Is it just because Natasha doesn't like it?" Dylan said with a somewhat mocking smile. "If that's the case, he's truly foolish!"

"So, Big Brother becoming the patriarch is the most suitable choice. Third Brother is too indecisive."

Jacob Harmon also added flattery.

"When it comes to Third Uncle, I suddenly remembered something."

Trent Harmon knocked on the table and looked at Dylan Harmon. "Dylan, I entrusted you with a task. How is it going?"

"Third Uncle is stubborn, and it's very difficult to deal with him starting from his bones."

Speaking of this, Dylan Harmon suddenly changed the subject and smiled, "However, I have found his weakness. I believe that in less than two days, he will offer his precious treasure willingly."

"This item is extremely important. Before the wedding, we must get our hands on it!" Trent Harmon reminded seriously.

The treasure map was the dowry for his daughter, and it wouldn't be easy to explain things to the Grant family if they didn't have it.

"Rest assured, Big Brother, you can be at ease. I guarantee that nothing will go wrong!" Dylan Harmon said confidently.

"Very well."

Trent Harmon nodded.

"Well, Big Brother, it's almost time. Let's go to the reception hall to meet the guests. There's a big figure coming today, and I believe it will be a pleasant surprise for you." Jacob Harmon said with a meaningful smile.

"Oh? Really? Then I'll look forward to it."

Trent Harmon grinned and then led a group of people, walking out of the conference hall.

However, just as they walked out of the door, a Harmon family steward suddenly approached them, holding a gift box in his hand.

"Patriarch, there's a guest outside who asked me to personally deliver this gift to you." The steward handed over the gift box with both hands.

"Oh? Is he so eager to be courteous?"

Trent Harmon smiled and opened the gift box to take a look. He was so shocked that he shivered and immediately threw the contents out.

"Thud!"

The gift box fell to the ground, and a bloody human head slowly rolled out from inside.



Chapter 1046​



"What the hell is this?!"

When the severed head rolled out, everyone was shocked, instinctively scattering in all directions.

Once they saw the situation clearly, their astonishment only grew.

Today was supposed to be a good day for Trent Harmon as he ascended to power, but someone had sent such a gruesome gift. Wasn't this a deliberate attempt to disrupt the event?

No!

This wasn't just a disruption; it was a blatant provocation!

"Who? Who dares to be so bold to actually send a severed head!" Trent Harmon couldn't contain his anger.

His good mood had been instantly shattered.

"You damn fool! How can you be so careless?!"

Trent Harmon was furious, slapping the steward's face hard.

As a steward of the Harmon family, he didn't even bother to inspect the gift and just casually brought it over. What if there had been a bomb inside?

"I... I thought it was just an ordinary guest. I didn't expect it to be like this."

The steward knelt on the ground, trembling in fear.

He had seen the man smiling and had thought he was a guest who had come to curry favor with the patriarch. Who would have thought that there would be a severed head inside?

"Are you still standing there?! Go and investigate immediately!"

Trent Harmon kicked the steward to the ground, and the steward repeatedly acknowledged before fleeing.

"Dad, I know the person who died. He was one of my trusted subordinates."

At this moment, Dylan spoke with a dark expression.

Initially, he had been shocked when he saw the severed head, but then he recognized it. After a closer look, he realized that it was his vice-captain!

"Your trusted subordinate? What's going on?" Trent Harmon furrowed his brows.

"He helped me with something yesterday, and it seems that he was found out by someone and became the target of retaliation." Dylan squinted his eyes slightly.

The car accident had been arranged by this vice-captain. Unexpectedly, after just one night, he had died.

Most likely, it was the work of Natasha Harmon. So, was this incident directed at you?" Trent Harmon quickly realized.

"Probably, but there's no need to pay it any mind."

Dylan shrugged indifferently. "I'll handle this matter cleanly. If anyone dares to cause trouble, they're just asking for death!"

"As long as you're aware of it."

Trent Harmon nodded.

"Well, big brother, it's almost time. Let's go to the reception hall to meet the guests. There's a big figure coming today, and I believe it will be a pleasant surprise for you." Dylan said with a meaningful smile.

"Oh? Really? Then I'll look forward to it."

Trent Harmon grinned and then led a group of people, walking out of the conference hall.

However, just as they walked out of the door, a Harmon family steward suddenly approached them, holding a gift box in his hand.

"Patriarch, there's a guest outside who asked me to personally deliver this gift to you." The steward handed over the gift box with both hands.

"Oh? Is he so eager to be courteous?"

Trent Harmon smiled and opened the gift box to take a look.

At this moment,

Inside the gift box, there was a human head.



Chapter 1047​



Luo Chen responded briefly.

"Thank you."

The woman in blue said politely, smiled, and then beckoned her two companions to sit down.

There wasn't much choice in seating here, and Luo Chen's plain attire made him appear more approachable. It shouldn't be too difficult to get along with him.

"Hey handsome, I'm called Zilan. This is Yelei, and this is Chenquan. May I know how to address you?"

The woman in blue introduced herself and her companions, then asked in an outgoing manner, showing a lively personality.

"Meeting by chance, no need for formalities." Luo Chen replied coldly.

He had come here to kill, not to make friends.

"Uh..."

Zilan's smile froze for a moment, and she looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Hey, why are you acting all high and mighty?" Yelei, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand it and said, "I was just asking for your name. What's so special about that? Look at your dress, you don't look like someone wealthy. Where do you get the confidence to act so arrogantly?"

"Yeah! Acting like a pauper, and you're fortunate to sit at the same table as us! That's your honor!" Chenquan also showed a disdainful expression.

"Let it go, let it go, let's not say more."

Seeing that the situation was turning awkward, Zilan quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Blue Blue, why are you wasting your time with such a person?"

Yelei crossed her arms and said arrogantly, "Do you know why no one is sitting next to him? It's because people are disgusted and don't want to associate with him!"

"Hmph! He smells so bad, it's disgusting!"

Covering her nose, Yelei made a very disdainful expression.

Dustin acted as if he hadn't heard any of this and continued to sip his tea.

His inaction only made Yelei even more unhappy.

In another context, she would have verbally berated him until he was speechless.

"Look! The guest of honor is here!"

At this moment, someone shouted.

Everyone turned their heads to see Trent Harmon and several core members of the Harmon family walking in with their heads held high.

Instantly, everyone stood up to greet them, congratulating Trent Harmon on becoming the new patriarch.

The atmosphere in the room soared to its peak.

Yelei and Chenquan were eager to get closer, but because of their low status, they couldn't squeeze in, so they could only watch from a distance.

"Is that Dylan Harmon, the second young master of the Harmon family? He is a fine gentleman, with extraordinary grace!"

Yelei watched his tall figure, her eyes shining with excitement.

Dylan Harmon came from a prominent family and was exceptionally talented. Among the many young talents in the provincial capital, he was one of the top ten.

He was the dream lover of many young girls, including her.

"I heard that Dylan Harmon is now a high-ranking officer in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and he is also a subordinate of the Red Tassel War God. His future is truly limitless!" Zilan also looked admiringly.

Such a big shot was beyond her reach.

"If I had half of Dylan Harmon's excellence and prospects, I'd be over the moon." Chenquan sighed softly, his face full of envy.

Although his family had some money, compared to Dylan Harmon, he was still a far cry.

"Even if Dylan Harmon is outstanding and has great prospects, it's useless."

Luo Chen stood up slowly, his eyes full of killing intent. "Because right now, he's a dead man!"



Chapter 1048​



"Hmm?"

Dustin's sudden exclamation rang out like a thunderclap, instantly seizing the attention of those around him. Three pairs of eyes turned toward him, curiosity mingled with a hint of bewilderment.

The onlookers wore expressions ranging from peculiar to flabbergasted as if they had just witnessed a magician pull off an unexpected trick.

"Hey! What on earth are you blabbering about? Who's this 'dying man' you're talking about?" Ye Lei inquired, casting an appraising glance up and down Dustin. Her face contorted into a more pronounced expression of disdain.

She couldn't help but think, "Is this guy acting like a complete buffoon?"

"Youngster! Are you implying that Dylan Harmon is on his deathbed? Are your unkind words a result of jealousy, acknowledging his superiority?" Chen Quan raised an eyebrow suspiciously.

"Humph! If you're incapable, that's one thing, but having the gall to begrudge others for their talents? Truly repulsive!" Ye Lei crossed her arms, her expression dripping with contempt.

She harbored a strong aversion to individuals with petty, envious mindsets.

"Kid, if you've got any courage, why not say it louder? Spewing negativity behind someone's back won't earn you any hero points," Chen Quan sneered.

"That's right! If you've got guts, why not challenge Dylan Harmon head-on instead of skulking in the shadows? There's no difference between that and being a coward!" Ye Lei scoffed.

Though Zilan remained silent, she couldn't help but shake her head discreetly. She was growing increasingly weary of Dustin.

Unperturbed by their comments, Dustin reached for a wine bottle on the table and held it up, weighing it thoughtfully.

"Dylan Harmon!"

Suddenly, Dustin boomed with a commanding presence that sent ripples of astonishment through the entire gathering.

"Who dares utter my name with such audacity?!" Dylan Harmon's head snapped in the direction of the voice, his gaze was as sharp as a blade, sweeping the area with fierce determination.

And just as all eyes turned to focus on this tense standoff, a wine bottle hurtled through the air with uncanny precision, colliding squarely with Dylan Harmon's head.

"Bang!"

The deafening sound of the impact reverberated through the room as the wine bottle shattered, showering Dylan Harmon in crimson liquid. Stunned and unsteady, he reached up to touch his throbbing head, only to find his fingers coated in blood.

"A-ah?"

This unexpected turn of events left everyone in shock.

No one had anticipated that, amid this highly anticipated event, someone would dare to disrupt the peace within the Harmon family.

"Eh..."

At this moment, Ye Lei, Chen Quan, and Zilan stood frozen in disbelief.

Their eyes widened as if they couldn't believe what they had just witnessed: Dustin had picked up a wine bottle and smashed it onto Dylan Harmon's head.

The perplexing question loomed large: How could he dare?

Who was Dylan Harmon?

He was an heir of the affluent elite, a high-ranking military officer in the prestigious Tiger Leopard Cavalry, and the future rising star as a young general. He was unquestionably the cream of the crop in the entire Jiangnan region!

Daring to provoke such an influential figure—wasn't that tantamount to courting disaster?

Did this reckless guy have a death wish?

"You... Do you dare to strike Dylan Harmon? Have you lost your mind?" Ye Lei's voice wavered between shock and anger.

She had provoked Dustin earlier, convinced that he wouldn't dare to speak up.

But what had just happened?

Not only had he spoken up, but he had also acted even more audaciously by smashing a wine bottle onto Dylan Harmon's head.

"Kid! You've got some serious guts! You're in deep trouble now!" Chen Quan swallowed hard, his gaze fixed on Dustin as if he were a madman.

To avoid getting embroiled in the situation, he promptly distanced himself, ensuring the Harmon family wouldn't mistakenly associate him with the incident.

"I should've known better than to sit at this table."

Zilan, observing the growing crowd of curious onlookers, couldn't help but retreat slightly.

Her disdain for Dustin had intensified.

This guy was an unbridled troublemaker, and anyone who associated with him seemed destined for misfortune.

"Dustin! So, it's you, young man!"

Dylan Harmon's eyes remained locked onto Dustin, his countenance darkening by the second.

Similarly, Trent Harmon, Jacob Harmon, and their entourage wore expressions of seething anger.

On this day, Dustin had crashed the party uninvited and had caused a scene in the midst of the Harmon family's grand event. It was as if he were delivering a resounding slap to the face of the entire Harmon family!

"Dylan Harmon! Today, I've come to claim your life!" Dustin proclaimed boldly, his words echoing with unwavering determination.



Chapter 1049​



"Outrageous!"

"Daring!"

"Daring to cause trouble in the Harmon family? I think you've had enough of living!"

After a brief moment of astonishment, the guests in attendance erupted in anger, their voices resounding with righteous indignation. They clenched their fists, ready to make a statement.

Hearing the commotion, Harmon family guards swiftly moved in to surround the area.

"Are you worthy of my life?" Dylan Harmon's face darkened. "If your bodyguard were here, you might have a slight chance. But with you, a waste like you, daring to be so arrogant in front of me? You're simply seeking death!"

Even though he had been reprimanded by Old Zhang earlier, Dylan Harmon was brimming with confidence when facing Dustin.

Among his peers, besides the monstrous talent that was Tyler Grant, who could compare to him?

"Youngster! Today is the day I ascend to the position of clan leader. I don't want bloodshed. If you're sensible, surrender now!" Trent Harmon bellowed.

He knew Dustin had some skills and had formed some kind of faction. However, in comparison to the Harmon family, it was nothing.

Moreover, he had the support of the Grant family now.

"Dylan Harmon is destined to die today, and anyone who dares to obstruct me will receive no mercy!" Dustin declared coldly.

"Hmph! You're truly shameless!" Trent Harmon seethed. "Someone, apprehend him!"

"Wait!" Dylan Harmon raised his hand to stop them, a cold smile curling on his lips. "Uncle, dealing with this kid doesn't require involving everyone. I alone am sufficient!"

"Big Brother, let them resolve their grievances themselves," Jacob Harmon calmly advised.

Publicly ganging up on Dustin might result in accusations of bullying the weak.

A one-on-one duel, even if it ended in someone's death, wouldn't invite the same level of criticism.

"Very well, I'll leave this kid to you," Trent Harmon patted Dylan Harmon on the shoulder.

"Uncle, rest assured. Watch how I torment him," Dylan Harmon exuded self-assuredness, then turned his provocative gaze toward Dustin. "Dustin, I dare you to engage in a life-and-death battle with me. Whether you win or lose, it's a matter of life and death!"

"What's there to fear? After all, you're the one who's going to die," Dustin's eyes were icy.

"Listen, everyone! He has agreed to a life-and-death duel. If he gets beaten to death later, don't blame me!" Dylan Harmon smirked, then gestured to clear the area.

"Who dares to challenge Dylan Harmon? He doesn't know his place!"

"Dylan Harmon is a true innate master and a high-ranking officer in the Panther regiment. He's trained in the art of killing. This kid won't last three moves."

"Daring to cause trouble in the Harmon family? He deserves whatever comes to him!"

The crowd buzzed with comments, pointing fingers and nodding heads in agreement.

Their gazes, directed at Dustin, were akin to those fixed on a dead man walking.

"Hmph! A poor loser actually dares to challenge Dylan Harmon, a true prodigy? He's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!" Ye Lei sneered.

"To seek the limelight, this kid is willing to throw his life away. Utter foolishness!" Chen Quan sneered with disdain.

"Ignorant fool!" Zilan sighed softly.

In their eyes, Dustin's actions were undeniably suicidal.

"Dustin, come on then, let me see what you're made of!" Dylan Harmon beckoned arrogantly, dismissing Dustin entirely.

"Very well!" Dustin wasted no time, taking swift strides forward before suddenly lunging with a punch.

There was no overwhelming aura or terrifying pressure—just an ordinary, unassuming strike.

"Is that all?"

Watching the seemingly light punch, Dylan Harmon shook his head with a mocking smile. He extended a single finger in a pompous manner and lightly pressed against it.

He intended to win gracefully, basking in the applause of the onlookers.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Boom!"

In the instant their contact met, three distinct sounds resounded.

First, Dylan Harmon's finger snapped.

Second, Dylan Harmon's arm was fractured.

Third, Dylan Harmon was launched like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the wall, blood spewing from his mouth and nose as he lost consciousness on the spot.

For a moment, the entire room fell eerily silent.



Chapter 1050​



"What?!"

Looking at Dylan Harmon, who lay on the ground like a dead dog, everyone was stunned.

A high-ranking officer of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry, an outstanding genius, had just been defeated like this?

What was going on?

People exchanged bewildered glances; their shock evident.

They had thought this battle was a foregone conclusion, with Dylan Harmon dominating the entire time.

But unexpectedly, with just one exchange, Dylan Harmon had fallen.

The difference was quite significant.

"Did I... Did I see that right? Dylan Harmon actually lost?" Chen Quan widened his eyes, finding it hard to believe.

He had thought Dustin was seeking death, but he hadn't anticipated that he was hiding his true strength.

"How is this possible? He... he... How could he be so powerful?!" Ye Lei's face was filled with astonishment, and her lips trembled.

She couldn't accept that an ordinary, impoverished person like Dustin could defeat a prodigy like Dylan Harmon.

"My goodness! Is he that strong?" Zilan covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She had initially thought Dustin was putting on airs, even being somewhat reckless. Now, she understood that he truly had the skills to back it up.

"I didn't expect this kid to be so skilled!"

Trent Harmon had a stern face, his brow furrowed.

While he had witnessed Dustin's medical expertise, he didn't know much about his martial abilities.

"My son, defeated with just one punch?"

Jacob Harmon stared in disbelief, struggling to accept what he had just witnessed.

It was one thing to lose to Tyler Grant, but to be unable to defeat Dustin?

Was this humiliation for real?

Ignoring the astonishment of the onlookers, Dustin stepped forward, grabbed Dylan Harmon's leg, and began dragging him out.

His demeanor resembled someone dragging a dog.

Dylan Harmon used his face to create a long trail of blood on the ground as he was forcibly pulled.

"Beast! Release my son!"

Jacob Harmon finally reacted, angrily shouting.

But Dustin seemed oblivious to it all, continuing to drag Dylan Harmon.

The reason he hadn't killed Dylan Harmon was that he wanted him to kneel before Lin Juan and apologize.

"Someone! Kill this brat for me!"

Jacob Harmon roared in anger, immediately ordering the guards to encircle Dustin.

Soon, a large number of Harmon family guards swarmed in.

The surrounding guests scattered in fear, trying to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

"Attack!"

Once they identified the target, the Harmon family guards rushed forward.

Dustin remained expressionless, raised his hand, and flicked it, sending numerous silver needles flying.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

With a series of piercing sounds, the approaching Harmon family guards fell one after another, none of them escaping unharmed.

"Ah?!"

Seeing this scene, the guests were once again shocked.

Everything had happened so quickly that they hadn't had a chance to fully comprehend what was going on.

They had only seen Dustin wave his hand, and the Harmon family guards had all fallen.

It was truly bizarre.

After dealing with the first group of guards, Dustin didn't stop. He continued to violently drag Dylan Harmon and walked directly out of the reception hall.

"Someone! Get more hidden guards out here!"

Trent's face was dark as he ordered, "Today, no matter what it takes, we must capture this brat. Otherwise, the Harmon family's reputation will be utterly destroyed!"

Publicly causing trouble in front of so many people, kidnapping Dylan Harmon—Dustin's actions were undoubtedly a trampling of the Harmon family's dignity.

If they didn't make an example of him, what face would the Harmon family have left to show the world?

Wow 😳 I deduce Natasha's father will be rescued alive and the map intending to be used as a bride price won't be given to Trent Harmon

Chapter 1051​



As Trent’s command echoed through the halls, all of the Harmon family guards and hidden forces poured out en masse.

In an instant, the entire family was in an uproar.

"Quick! Surround him, don't let this kid escape!"

"Damn it! He dares to act recklessly in the Harmon family, he must be tired of living!"

People and horses from all directions gathered, each brandishing weapons and emanating a menacing aura.
As soon as Dustin had left the reception hall, he found himself encircled.
There were at least two hundred people, their eyes locked onto him.
Most of them were Harmon family guards, with a few elite covert operatives and some soldiers from the Dark Panther Cavalry.
These soldiers were all trusted subordinates of Dylan.
As a senior officer, he had around a hundred or so people under his command.

"Dustin! Release my son now! Otherwise, you will die today!" Jacob shouted angrily.

"Kid! You are surrounded, there's no way out. Release the person, and I might consider sparing your life!" Trent Harmon threatened.

"I only want Dylan's life. All unrelated people, get out of my way!" Dustin said with a stern face.

"Kid! You're oblivious to your impending doom. Open your eyes and look around. Who calls the shots here!" Trent Harmon declared loudly.

Now, the Harmon family had guns and manpower. Dealing with a single brat was a piece of cake, wasn't it?
After all, even if Dustin was formidable, could he stop bullets?

"Although he defeated Dylan, he still can't escape from the Harmon family."

"I have to admit, this kid has some skill, but it's a pity he's outnumbered."

"He dared to intrude into the Harmon family singlehandedly; even if he dies, it's his fault!"

As they watched Dustin being surrounded, the guests couldn't help but discuss.
Challenging an entire aristocratic family alone seemed like a fantasy.

"Humph! What use is martial prowess? He's just a brute. Even though his fists are strong, he can't make waves in the face of absolute power!" Ye Lei said, crossing her arms and displaying an arrogant expression.
In her eyes, Dustin was just a martial artist, skilled perhaps, but ultimately insignificant.

"Exactly! What's the point of being strong? Can he run amok just because he's skilled in combat? It's just a pipe dream!" Chen Quan scoffed, rather disdainful.
Although Zilan remained silent, she didn't have high hopes for Dustin's situation either.
With so many Harmon family members armed to the teeth, who could withstand that?

"Look at you people, all surnamed Harmon. Today, I don't want to start a bloodbath, so you'd better scram while I haven't laid a finger on anyone!" Dustin's fierce gaze swept around like an awakening demon.
If it weren't for considering Natasha’s feelings, he would have already slaughtered the Harmon family.

"You beast! You won't realize your impending death until you see your coffin!" Trent Harmon was furious, signaling a few marksmen, "Take him down!"

"Bang, bang, bang..."
Before the words had even left his mouth, gunshots rang out.
Five bullets were fired from various directions toward Dustin.
Dustin acted decisively, grabbing Dylan's hair and using him as a human shield.
Two bullets missed, but the remaining three struck Dylan.

"Ah!"
The pain from the gunshot wounds jolted Dylan out of his unconscious state.

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" Jacob belatedly shouted, trying to stop the shooting.

Otherwise, Dustin might be unharmed, but his son would be dead.

"You bunch of idiots! Can't you aim properly?" Trent Harmon was exasperated.

They had finally had a chance to kill Dustin, but it had been wasted in vain.

"Who? Who the hell shot me?!" Dylan's eyes widened in anger and agony as he looked at the bullet holes on his body.

He was shot three times for no reason, who can stand this?

"Dylan, it was just an accident, not in the way."

Trent Harmon said with a serious face: "Come again, uncle promises, this time it will not be missed, you endure it, and it will pass soon.



Chapter 1052​



"Ah? More?"
Hearing this, Dylan was so startled that he shuddered, almost jumping up. "Uncle! Bullets don't have eyes; please don't shoot recklessly!"
Damn it!
If they continued like this, he would be killed by his people before Dustin even got to him.
Besides, a formidable innate expert already had the ability to dodge bullets.
How could he be so easily shot?

"Big brother! Stay calm! Dylan’s life is the priority!" Jacob was also terrified and quickly tried to appease the situation.

He was genuinely afraid that Trent Harmon might lose his temper and open fire indiscriminately. By then, his son would definitely be riddled with bullets.

"I care about Dylan’s safety, but if we don't eliminate this kid, how can our Harmon family face anyone?" Trent Harmon frowned.

"This kid is quite powerful. We should bring in a skilled expert." Jacob whispered.

"Skilled expert? Where can we find one on such short notice? I say we rush him together and cut him down with chaos. That way, we won't make a mistake." Trent Harmon made a slashing motion with his hand.

"Big brother, let me talk to this kid first. If we can resolve this without fighting, it's for the best." Jacob spoke softly.

"You have three minutes. Deal with him," Trent Harmon temporarily suppressed his murderous intent.

"No problem."

Jacob nodded, then turned his gaze towards Dustin and said loudly, "Dustin, stop this now. You can't escape from the Harmon family today. But as long as you release my son, I can guarantee that you won't die."

"Dustin! Can you hear me? Release me now, or you'll have nowhere to bury your corpse!" Dylan threatened fiercely.

Although he had been defeated by Dustin, it didn't mean he would back down.
In this world, what use was physical strength alone?
Without power and influence, wouldn't one eventually be trampled on?

"Everyone must be responsible for their actions. If you do wrong, you must pay the price. Today, no one can save you," Dustin said coldly.

"Dustin! Don't try to act tough here. You're trapped now, and if you dare to touch me, it's a dead end!" Dylan sneered.

He had experienced all kinds of situations.
A little incident like this couldn't intimidate him.
Moreover, he was surrounded by Harmon family soldiers. What did he have to fear?

"A dead end?"

Dustin snorted coldly and suddenly made a move. With two crisp sounds, he directly snapped Dylan's arm.

"Ah!"

Dylan let out a miserable scream, his face contorted in pain, sweat pouring down.
His arm had been broken before, and now the other one was twisted. Both hands were useless.

"How do you like my technique, Bone-Splitting Hand?"

Dustin looked down from a position of advantage, his eyes filled with indifference.

"You bastard! How dare you touch me? You're dead! I will tear you apart!" Dylan roared in anger.

Dustin had no time for words. He kicked him again.

"Crack!"

Dylan's knee shattered, and he fell to the ground.
His screams grew even louder.

"Beast! You're a beast! How dare you touch my son? I'll dismember you!" Seeing this scene, Jacob's eyes went red, and he erupted in fury.

How could he endure watching his son's hands and knees be broken?

"Kill him!"

Trent Harmon didn't hesitate and gave the order to kill.
He had been impatient for a while, and now was the perfect opportunity.

"Attack!"

Just as everyone was about to rush forward, a group of henchmen suddenly rushed into the entrance of the Harmon family.
A mass of people, hundreds in total, surged in like a black tide.



Chapter 1053​



All of these enforcers were dressed in black, with red cloth strips tied around their heads, and the symbol of a Kirin displayed proudly on their chests.
They were unmistakably disciples of the Kirin Gang!

"Surround them all!"

Cornelius took the lead, kicking aside several people blocking the way and directing the disciples of the Kirin Gang to encircle all of the Harmon family members.
In terms of armed forces, the Kirin Gang, which had integrated elite members from the four major gangs, far outnumbered the Harmon family.
When they swarmed in like a dark wave, the scene was incredibly intimidating and instantly subdued the situation.
The onlookers retreated in fear as if avoiding snakes and scorpions.

"Who are you people? How dare you trespass in the Harmon family!"

Seeing the approaching crowd, Trent Harmon couldn't help but shout in anger.

"It's the Kirin Gang! They're from the Kirin Gang!"

Someone from the Harmon family exclaimed.

"What? The Kirin Gang?!"

With these words, many people's faces changed.
Although the Kirin Gang had been founded not long ago, its reputation had already spread throughout the entire provincial capital.
As a gang formed by the union of the four major gangs, the Kirin Gang was naturally extraordinary. In addition, they had some mysterious experts backing them, making them as formidable as a tiger with wings.
In terms of power, they even surpassed the five major aristocratic families!

"Who dares to act recklessly in front of our gang leader?!"

Cornelius, accompanied by several hall masters, strode forward menacingly to stand behind Dustin and support him.
Numerous Kirin Gang disciples also gathered around.
Although they didn't say a word, their attitude spoke for itself.

"You... are you actually the leader of the Kirin Gang?!"

As they looked at Dustin, the Harmon family members were all in shock and amazement.
They had heard some rumors about the Kirin Gang and understood the gang's strength.
However, no one had anticipated that the behind-the-scenes master of the Kirin Gang would turn out to be the inconspicuous and impoverished young man, Dustin!

"My goodness! This guy has such a huge background?!"

Chen Quan's eyes widened in shock, his face full of disbelief.
He had thought Dustin was just a poor guy, but it turned out he was quite something.
At the age of twenty-something, he had become a dominant figure in the region. It was truly astonishing.
Thinking back to his own actions earlier, he felt a creeping sensation on his scalp and was filled with fear and trepidation.

"H... how is this possible? He's dressed so shabbily; how could he be the leader of the Kirin Gang?!"

Ye Lei stammered, wearing an incredulous expression.
After all, the Kirin Gang now controlled the entire underground power in the provincial capital and had established its own rules.
They truly wielded immense influence, having the power to manipulate everything.
The rumored leader of the Kirin Gang was a legendary figure, an underground emperor ruling the entire provincial capital!
She couldn't believe that such a top-tier big shot turned out to be a young man who dressed modestly and seemed ordinary.

"We all made a huge mistake!"

Zilan swallowed hard, her face filled with regret.
If they had just made a little effort earlier, maybe they could have changed their fate.

"No wonder... no wonder he dared to make trouble here. It turns out he was well-prepared!"

Trent Harmon furrowed his brows, looking somewhat unsightly.
Judging by the numbers alone, if they were to fight, the Harmon family had a very low chance of winning.

"We must take Dylan with us today. Anyone who dares to obstruct us, don't blame me for killing without blinking an eye!"

Dustin's icy gaze scanned the surroundings, and anyone who met his eyes lowered their heads in silence.

"Dustin! Leave yourself a way out for the future. Don't make things too extreme!" Jacob shouted in a deep voice.

"Extreme?"

Dustin snorted, "Consider it my restraint, for the sake of Natasha. Otherwise, every one of you would be dead by now!"


Chapter 1054​


"Certainly! You think you can be so arrogant just because you're the leader of the Kirin Gang?" Jacob glared and shouted, "Even if you are, do you think you can dominate the world? Don't forget, my son is a senior officer of the Dark Panther Cavalry!"

"You're absolutely right!" Dylan grinned maliciously, "I have the Scarlet Warrior as my commander in the Dark Panther Cavalry. If you dare to kill me, you'll be digging your own grave!"

"Young man! Hold on for a moment!"

Trent Harmon said with a grim face, "If you release Dylan, we won't pursue this matter any further. But if you insist on going to war, my Harmon family won't back down!"
Although the Kirin Gang was powerful, the Harmon family was not to be trifled with either.
With decades of development and a vast network of allies, they had support from all directions.
To put it bluntly, if the Harmon family faced trouble, support would come from all sides.

"I don't care who your backers are, I don't care about your background. All I have to say is that Dylan must die!"

Dustin suddenly reached out, grabbing Dylan's neck and lifting him up forcibly.
If they couldn't take him out, then he would have to die here.

"Ugh..."

Dylan felt his breath being cut off and his face turned red.
A sense of impending death began to creep over him.

"Stop!"

At this moment, a sharp shout rang out.
Following that, Kate, dressed in luxurious clothing, led a hundred or so people and rushed in energetically.
All of these people were elites from the Grant family, with two groups of Wolf Guards among them, making them a force to be reckoned with.

"Kate? You've finally come!"

Seeing this scene, Trent Harmon's face brightened as if he had seen a savior.
Since following Tyler, Kate's position in the family had soared. Even Trent Harmon, the patriarch, had to consider her opinions.

"Daughter, your timely arrival gives me peace of mind," Trent Harmon breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Harmon family might not be a match for the Kirin Gang on their own, with the addition of this elite force from the Grant family, the situation was completely different.

"Kate! Save me!"

Dylan struggled and hoarsely shouted.

"Young man! Don't get too arrogant!"

Kate was imposing, her gaze sharp, displaying the demeanor of a big sister.
After hearing about the incident with the Harmon family, she immediately led her team here in the nick of time.

"Is this accident related to you?" Dustin suddenly asked.

"What accident?" Kate furrowed her brows.

"If it has nothing to do with you, then leave." Dustin was blunt.

"Outrageous!"

"Bold!"

"Arrogant brat! How dare you be disrespectful to the young lady? Today, I will teach you a lesson!"

Dustin's words immediately infuriated the Grant family members.
Especially an emaciated old man behind Kate, who became inexplicably agitated. Without saying a word, he flew up and reached out to grab Dustin. "You brat! Accept your death!"

"Get lost!"

Cornelius leaped up, delivering a powerful slap to the emaciated old man's chest. The old man let out a miserable cry and was sent flying more than ten meters away, landing in a nearby lotus pond.
His life or death was uncertain.

"Hmm?"

The sudden turn of events made the Grant family members look serious.
The emaciated old man who had just attacked was a high-level expert invited by the Grant family.
But now, with just one exchange, he had disappeared. Wasn't this too exaggerated?

"He couldn't withstand a single blow!"

Chapter 1055​

Cornelius patted his sleeves and stood behind Dustin again.

"Young man! Today is a great day for my father's rise to power. I warn you not to act recklessly here!" Kate shouted sternly.

As of now, she was completely different from before. As the young lady of the Grant family, she had the authority to mobilize more than half of the Grant family's resources and power.
This privilege was bestowed upon her by Grant Tyler and was a symbol of her rapid rise.

"So what if I act recklessly? Can you people stop me?" Dustin remained indifferent.

"If the Harmon family can't handle it, what if we join forces with them?"

A resounding voice came from the entrance.
Everyone turned to look and saw a group of spirited warriors marching in.
These warriors were dressed in uniform clothing, all strong and sturdy, exuding an imposing aura.
Their powerful presence made the onlookers subconsciously step back, feeling an inexplicable sense of fear.

"It's the Hill family! The elite warriors of the Hill family!"

"What's going on? Why did the Hill family get involved?"

"Judging by this formation, it should be the most elite force of the Hill family!"

Once the situation became clear, the crowd began to buzz with discussion.
No one had expected the Hill family to intervene at this critical moment.
The Hill family was an ancient martial family, and most of its members were martial experts.
In terms of combat power, this force was far superior to the elite forces of the Grant family.

"Dustin, how do you think the Kirin Gang will fare if we add our strength to the mix?"

A middle-aged man in elegant clothing walked out of the crowd.
Behind him were the members of the Hill family, led by Troben Hill

"Who are you?"

Dustin narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I am Winter Hill, second in line in my family."

Winter Hill spoke indifferently, "You've caused chaos in our Hill family, deaths and injuries everywhere. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

He had been developing in Yanjing and hadn't expected such a major incident to occur in his family in just a few days.
Helpless, he had to give up the assets he had developed in Yanjing and return home to take charge.

"The blame for the former leader's death has already been placed, and the culprit is someone from your own side. As for the specific details, you should ask your elder brother," Dustin replied.

"Hmph! If it weren't for your interference and meddling, our Hill family wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses. With a simple sentence, you want to evade responsibility. Do you think that's possible?" Winter Hill's face darkened gradually.

"This instigator! He killed my father and harmed my family. We are irreconcilable with you!" Troben Hill roared.

The memory of his father's death had always been vivid in his mind, and he had nursed a grudge against Dustin for a long time.
However, due to Dustin's overwhelming strength, he hadn't had the opportunity to seek revenge.
Now, with his second uncle returning to take charge of the situation and the support of the Harmon family and the Grant family, he felt that the time for revenge was at hand.

"So, you're choosing to stand with the Harmon family and oppose me?" Dustin frowned slightly.

"That's right! You're a scourge, and everyone must unite to eliminate you!" Winter Hill declared loudly.

"Hahaha... Good!"

Trent Harmon couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Thank you for your support, Brother Xia. We will definitely repay this favor in the future!"
With the addition of the Grant family and the Hill family, even if Dustin had extraordinary abilities, he would have no way out today.

"Even the Hill family has arrived. It seems this guy is in trouble!"

"The Harmon family, the Grant family, and the Hill family, two top-notch families and one powerhouse, three major families joining forces. In the entire provincial capital, who can resist them?"

"The Kirin Gang is in dire straits today!"

"Hmph! Even if he's the leader of the Kirin Gang, so what? Offending so many major forces, he's destined to be crushed into pieces!"

The successive changes in the situation had caused the guests to discuss animatedly.
Especially with the addition of the Hill family, the entire situation had changed dramatically.
At this moment, everyone was convinced that Dustin had no way to turn things around.

Currently I'm not particularly impressed with Dahlia's demeanor with respect to Dustin. I feel Queen Natasha deserves him more. I refrained from regarding her as a Concubine since there's no wifely figure in The Kirin leader's life.

It's hard to do repasting all the time... I am sure again someone will ask the same in the coming episodes. This site is almost losing its flavour 😔. You find we are at 1055+ yet all of a sudden someone takes you back to 900!

According to me I see it as being lazy and bothersome. Phew!

1056 - 1060

Chapter 1056​



"Faced with the siege of three major forces, even a newly established underground emperor can only sit and wait for death. This guy is doomed today!"
In the crowd, Chen Quan sneered, inexplicably pleased.

"They say you should keep a low profile in life. He's so arrogant, he deserves to die!"
Ye Lei crossed her arms, seemingly gloating.

Due to her initial prejudice, she had a deep dislike for Dustin, so she couldn't wait for him to have a stroke of bad luck.

"It seems like there's no way out now," Zi Lan shook her head.
In such a large-scale situation, she could only watch from a distance and didn't even have the qualifications to approach.

"Young man! You're already a turtle in a jar. I warn you to surrender immediately!" Trent stood with his hands behind his back, regaining his calm and composure.

"Dustin! Don't struggle in vain anymore. You have no chance of winning. Surrender honestly!" Kate said with a dark expression.

Today, no matter what, they wouldn't let Dustin off easily.

For a scourge like him, he had to be killed to prevent future troubles.

But before that, they needed to rescue Dylan first.

"Hehehe..."
Captured by Dustin, Dylan suddenly grinned, "Dustin, oh Dustin, what's the use of being the leader of the Kirin Gang? Even if you can fight, so what? Look around you, they're all my people. How can you compete with me? If you're sensible, kneel down and kowtow to me to admit your mistake. That way, I might consider sparing you."

"Spare me? Hmph..."

Dustin's face remained indifferent. "Do you really think these people can save you? If I want to kill you, no one can stop me!"

"Keep pretending! Keep pretending! It seems you still don't understand what it means to be outnumbered!" Dylan shouted.

The appearance of the elite of the Hill family made up for the lack of martial experts. Now, they completely dominated the Qilin Gang in all aspects.

"So what if there are more people? They're just a bunch of uncoordinated individuals, completely useless." Dustin was not polite at all.

"Arrogant!"

"Presumptuous!"

Upon hearing this, many warriors rebuked him.
They all clenched their fists, trying to teach Dustin, who didn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth, a lesson.
They had all been carefully selected as elites, and now they were called a bunch of uncoordinated individuals, which naturally made them very unhappy.

"This guy is too arrogant, right? He doesn't even take the central pillars of the three major forces seriously."

"Hmph! This guy is just a big mouth. He'll be beaten back to his original form soon."

"At such a young age, he really doesn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth!"

In the face of questioning, Dustin did not speak, but simply raised his hand and made a gentle wave towards the front.

"Swish!"

A half-moon-shaped master's aura burst out directly from his body, like a large knife, sweeping over the heads of the crowd, and then cleaving into a fake mountain beside the pond.

"Boom!"

Chapter 1057​

With a loud bang, the entire ten-meter-tall artificial mountain shattered into pieces, turning into ashes. The entire pond was split in two, and even the water inside briefly exhibited a phenomenon of temporary diversion, like a block of tofu cut by a knife.
It was extremely shocking!
Seeing this scene, the entire venue fell into silence.
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
From dozens of meters away, a single hand chop had directly destroyed a rock-made artificial mountain and split the entire pond in half.
Was this still a human being?!

"I... I didn't see it wrong, did I? This guy is really a Martial Arts Master?"

"Wait a minute! I remember now! There's a young Martial Arts Master who has been making a name for himself in the martial world recently. Could it be him?"

"Oh my god! What kind of monster is this guy? He's in his twenties and he's already a Martial Arts Master. It's too terrifying!"

After a brief silence, the surrounding area buzzed with discussion.
Shock, astonishment, fear, and awe, various expressions were on display.
Especially Ye Lei, Chen Quan, and Zi Lan were dumbfounded.
They never dreamed that Dustin still had this identity.
A Martial Arts Master was an unattainable existence for them.
They didn't even have the qualifications to look up to him.

"How... how is this possible?!"

Trent's face was full of shock, and he couldn't laugh anymore.
Who could have predicted that this seemingly ordinary guy would actually be a powerful Martial Arts Master?
This was trouble!
In fact, not just Trent.
At this moment, everyone from the Harmon family was shocked and couldn't believe it.
This blow was too great for them.
If it was just the leader of the Kirin Gang, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if you added the identity of a Martial Arts Master, the significance was completely different.
For ordinary people, a Martial Arts Master was a completely different level of existence, aptly described as unassailable.

These so-called elites, so-called experts, were indeed powerless in front of a Martial Arts Master.

"How is it now? Do you still think there's anyone who can save you?"

Dustin looked down at Dylan from above, his eyes filled with indifference.
He wanted the other party to taste what fear and despair truly meant.

"You... how could you..."

Dylan's face was full of fear, trembling all over, and he was so scared that he couldn't even speak.
He never dreamed that the little guy he used to look down on would turn out to be someone he needed to look up to.
And most importantly, if a Martial Arts Master wanted to kill him.
Who could stop it?

"Trent, do you have anything else to say?"
Dustin raised his head slowly and scanned his sharp gaze across the crowd.
Trent's face stiffened, and he couldn't speak a word.
Although they had the assistance of the Grant family and the Hill family, they still had no chance against a Martial Arts Master.
If they tried to stop him, they would only suffer heavy casualties.

"I'm taking Dylan away. If anyone has any objections, please come forward."

Dustin swept his gaze around, and anyone who made eye contact with him lowered their heads in silence.
Who would dare to challenge a Martial Arts Master head-on? Wasn't that seeking death?

"I object!"

Suddenly, a thunderous voice rang out in the air.

Chapter 1058​


"I object!"

"How does it matter even if he's a Martial Arts Master? Can he cover the sky with one hand?"

Accompanied by a majestic voice, a middle-aged man dressed in military uniform, with a burly physique, stepped forward first.
The man had a commanding presence, an imposing figure with an air of dominance. As he strode forward, he exuded an awe-inspiring aura that made people dare not meet his gaze.
Not only that, behind the middle-aged man were heavily armed elite soldiers.
These soldiers wore face masks, black armor, carried long knives at their waists, and emitted an air of solemnity and killing intent.
They looked magnificent and awe-inspiring, as if they were a battle-hardened army that had seen countless battles.

"General Zhao!"

Seeing the middle-aged man, Dylan couldn't help but be overjoyed, as if he had seen a savior
The despair in his eyes had been replaced with hope once again.

"He's here, he's finally here! A big shot has arrived!"

Jacob was both surprised and delighted, his expression filled with excitement.
Just a moment ago, he thought his son was beyond saving, but reinforcements had arrived just in time.

"Oh my god! Isn't this General Zhao, Zhao Weiwu? Why did he come here?"

"Just asking humbly, is General Zhao very powerful?"

"Nonsense! General Zhao is one of the Four Great Generals of the Dark Panther Cavalry. His status is second only to the Scarlet Ribbon War God. He commands an army of ten thousand soldiers and is known to be an unrivaled force in the region!"

"Wow! That's impressive!"

"When General Zhao leads the troops, we're in for a show!"

When General Zhao Weiwu entered, the entire venue erupted in commotion.
In the Dragon Nation, there were five elite armies, each guarding a different region, and the Dark Panther Cavalry was one of them.
The supreme commander was the Dragon Nation's strongest female war god, Zhao Hongying.
Beneath her were four great generals, each of them was undefeated in battle and renowned far and wide.
Especially Zhao Weiwu, not only was he incredibly powerful and a brilliant tactician, but he was also a member of the same clan as the Scarlet Ribbon War God and held in high esteem.
Within the Dark Panther Cavalry, he was second to none, commanding the respect of all.
As long as he gave the command, thousands of elite soldiers would rush to his side.
In the face of gods, even Buddhas would be defeated.

"So this is the big shot that the Cao family invited today, indeed extraordinary!" Trent's spirits were lifted.

"With General Zhao here, we don't have to fear even if he's a Martial Arts Master!" Kate couldn't hide his joy.

"Even General Zhao came to support us. It seems that Dylan is highly regarded in the military!" Huangfu Xia showed pleasant surprise.

"Hmph! Let's see how this kid ends up today!" Huangfu Xiong sneered.

The appearance of General Zhao Weiwu instantly changed the entire situation.
Previously, due to their fear of Dustin's strength, no one dared to act rashly.
Now it was different, with General Zhao Weiwu and the elite troops of the Dark Panther Cavalry, they could completely suppress Dustin.
After all, in the face of a military force, no matter how powerful someone was in the martial world, they couldn't compete.

"General Zhao! Please save me! This guy wants to kill me!"

Seeing General Zhao Weiwu approaching, Dylan immediately began to cry for help.

"Don't worry, with me here today, no one can harm you."

General Zhao Weiwu took big strides forward, his sharp gaze piercing Dustin as he coldly said, "What are you waiting for? Do you see my presence? Release him immediately!"

"General Zhao Weiwu, is it?" Dustin replied indifferently. "I advise you not to meddle in this, to avoid getting yourself into trouble."

"Arrogant! How dare you address General Zhao by name! It seems you're tired of living!" A vice general of the Dark Panther Cavalry shouted sternly.

"Young man, speaking to me like this, do you know what the consequences will be?" General Zhao Weiwu narrowed his eyes, his gaze turning unfriendly.

"General Zhao, this young man is a Martial Arts Master, you should not underestimate his strength," Jacob reminded from the side.

"So what? He's just a martial world nobody, not worth mentioning at all!" General Zhao Weiwu snorted.

A Martial Arts Master was indeed powerful, but they could only fight against a few hundred or a few thousand people at most.

Chapter 1059​

And he had command of a hundred thousand troops!
No matter what kind of martial arts master he was, he would be obliterated instantly.
That was the power of an army!

"Kid with the surname Lu! Do you hear me? Your so-called prideful strength is insignificant in front of General Zhao. If you don't want to be riddled with bullets, you better surrender right away!" Dylan grinned.

With General Zhao leading the way and the backing of the Dark Panther Cavalry, what did he have to fear?
Even if he was a Martial Arts Master, would he dare to confront the army head-on?

"Zhao Weiwu, I'll warn you once again, take your men and leave now, or don't blame me for not giving face to the Zhao family," Dustin said coldly.

"Hmm?"

General Zhao Weiwu furrowed his brow. "A martial world nobody dares to threaten me? Are you looking for death?"

"I'm giving you a chance. Otherwise, once we start fighting, you won't have the chance to regret it," Dustin warned.

"Start fighting?"

General Zhao Weiwu was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter. "Kid! Have you not understood the situation? You're completely surrounded, and with one command from me, all of you will be turned into hornet's nests!"

"You'd better not push me," Dustin squinted his eyes.

"Push you? What can you do?"

General Zhao Weiwu sneered, "Do you really think that a Martial Arts Master is invincible? Once my hundred thousand troops march, I can turn you into dust in an instant!"

"That's right! With a hundred thousand Dark Panther Cavalry, no one in the world can resist!"

"Martial Arts Masters are indeed formidable, but in the face of an army, they can only bow their heads!"

Many people chimed in, echoing General Zhao Weiwu's sentiments.
In their view, individual martial prowess could not compare to true political power.
No matter how skilled someone was, they still feared bullets and artillery.

"Kid! I'll count to three!"

General Zhao Weiwu raised three fingers. "After three, if you haven't surrendered, don't blame me for unleashing a massacre!"

"One..."

"Two..."

"Three..."

As soon as the three words fell, Dustin's figure suddenly flashed, appearing right in front of General Zhao Weiwu.

They stood face to face, only half a meter apart.

"You..."

General Zhao Weiwu's pupils contracted. He wanted to retreat, but Dustin grabbed him by the neck, immobilizing him on the spot. "If you dare to make a move, I'll kill you first."
General Zhao Weiwu felt his breath stall, his face turned red, and his entire body seemed to be electrocuted. He couldn't move and could only let himself be at Dustin's mercy.

"Bold!"

"Release General Zhao at once!"

This sudden turn of events startled everyone.

Especially the soldiers of the Dark Panther Cavalry, who raised their guns and aimed them at Dustin. But due to the hostage, they didn't dare to shoot recklessly.

"Kid! How dare you hold General Zhao hostage? You have a death wish!" General Zhao Weiwu sternly scolded.

"Ten thousand Dark Panther Cavalry, no one can resist! Even if you're a Martial Arts Master, you can't contend with a hundred thousand troops!" General Zhao Weiwu declared.

"That's right! A Martial Arts Master is indeed formidable, but against an army, they can only bow down!" Many people echoed this sentiment, finding it reasonable.

In their eyes, personal martial prowess couldn't compete with the might of a real army.

"Kid! I'll count to three!"

General Zhao Weiwu raised three fingers. "After three, if you haven't surrendered, don't blame me for unleashing a massacre!"

"One..."

"Two..."

"Three..."

As soon as the three words fell, Dustin's figure suddenly flashed, appearing right in front of General Zhao Weiwu.

They stood face to face, only half a meter apart.

"You..."

General Zhao Weiwu's pupils contracted. He wanted to retreat, but Dustin grabbed him by the neck, immobilizing him on the spot. "If you dare to make a move, I'll kill you first."

In their eyes, personal martial prowess couldn't compete with the might of a real army.

"Kid

Chapter 1060​

"Zhao Weiwu, do you still want to meddle in this?" Dustin gradually increased the pressure on his fingers, digging into the flesh.

At that moment, Zhao Weiwu found it increasingly difficult to breathe, and his heart pounded like a drum.

"Kid! I warn you not to act recklessly!" Zhao Weiwu gritted his teeth, pretending to remain calm. "Taking a Three-Star General as a hostage is a grave crime. Even if the military can't catch you, don't forget about the Martial Suppression Bureau. If you harm me, they will never spare you!"

The Confucian scholars use words to break the law, and the chivalrous use force to violate the prohibition. To manage martial artists, the government established a mysterious organization—the Martial Suppression Bureau!
The Martial Suppression Bureau was filled with talents, and its power was immense. It was an insurmountable mountain for martial artists from all over the world.
Although the Martial Suppression Bureau usually didn't interfere in martial world affairs, whenever a martial artist dared to kill innocents or harm high-ranking officials, the Martial Suppression Bureau would step in immediately to eliminate the threat.
At that time, not only Martial Arts Masters but even Grandmasters standing at the pinnacle of the world would be hunted down by the Martial Suppression Bureau!
For martial artists, the Martial Suppression Bureau possessed absolute deterrent power!

To the point where it made people's faces turn pale.

"Are you threatening me? Do you think I won't dare to kill you?" Dustin's eyes gradually turned icy.

"I'm just reminding you not to dig your own grave!" Zhao Weiwu spoke righteously. "You have achieved so much at such a young age, which is no easy feat. Given time, I believe you will rise even higher. But if you violate taboos, not only will your future be ruined, but you will also attract fatal consequences. Think carefully."

"So, are you going to stop me?" Dustin's expression remained cold.

"Understand this, I'm giving you a chance. If you leave now, I can promise not to pursue this further. But if you insist on being stubborn, there's only a path to death!" Zhao Weiwu declared sternly.

In front of so many people, especially as a general of the Dark Panther Cavalry, he had to show enough dignity. Even if he was held hostage, he couldn't show any fear.

"Zhao Weiwu, I don't want to waste any more words with you. You have only two choices now: die or get lost!" Dustin was becoming impatient.

"Kid! Don't challenge my bottom line!" Zhao Weiwu clenched his teeth.

"I'll count to three," Dustin said in a deep voice. "After three, if you don't agree to leave, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"One..."
"Two..."
"Three..."
As the countdown continued, Dustin's fingers gradually tightened, squeezing Zhao Weiwu's neck. Zhao Weiwu began to struggle frantically, his eyes rolling back.

The fear of death began to creep over him.
Several times, he wanted to beg for mercy, but out of pride, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

"General Zhao, hang in there! This kid is just trying to scare you. Don't fall for it!" Trent tried to boost Zhao Weiwu's morale.

"That's right! Your status is noble, and he wouldn't dare to act recklessly!" Jacob hastily echoed.

"Kid with the surname Lu! General Zhao commands a hundred thousand troops. If you dare to harm him, you're digging your own grave!" Dylan roared.

"Two..."

Dustin paid no attention and continued to exert pressure. Zhao Weiwu began to struggle madly, his eyes twitching.
In a way, if Zhao Weiwu were to die, it would be a good thing for them. As the murderer, Dustin would undoubtedly be pursued by the Dark Panther Cavalry and even attract the attention of the legendary Martial Suppression Bureau.
At that time, they could rest easy.

"General Zhao! Don't worry, even if you really die, we will definitely avenge you!" Dylan declared righteously.

"Avenge?!"

Zhao Weiwu's eye twitched a few times, and he almost couldn't help but burst into curses.
The man was already dead, what good was vengeance?

"One..."

As the final countdown began, Dustin's figure suddenly burst with a terrifying killing intent.
Zhao Weiwu shivered all over, feeling death closing in on him, like falling into an abyss.
At that moment, he was absolutely sure that the person in front of him was really willing to kill him!

"Wait..."
