Chapter 1045 A red carpet was stretched from the house’s entrance to the reception hall. Today marked the official announcement
Chapter 1044 Dustin and the others rushed to the operating room after receiving the news. Still unconscious, Cecilia was being wheeled out. Beside her was something covered with a white sheet. Dustin’s hands trembled as he lifted the white sheet. It was the baby’s lifeless body. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth. A wave of anger surged within him. He had promised Nelson that he would protect Cecilia and their baby. Now, not only were the mother and daughter severely injured and hospitalized, but Cecilia had also tragically lost her child. It was an earth–shattering tragedy for him. Amidst the guilt and self–blame, he was overwhelmed with anger. He was livid! “How did this happen? We were fine when we left. How did …” Natasha’s face turned pale as she struggled to comprehend the situation. Cecilia was nine months pregnant and about to give birth. They couldn’t imagine the pain of losing a life that was growing in her. “I’m sorry, we did our best.” A doctor explained, “The fetus had already lost its life during the car accident. Saving the adult is the best we could have hoped for in
Chapter 1043 “Regarding this matter, I’ve already explained it to your father and Trent. The treasure map was stolen several years ago, and its whereabouts remain unknown,” Hector said. “Uncle Hector, it sounds suspicious if you put it that way.” Dylan grabbed a banana and casually peeled it. “The treasure map is a precious item. You’ve deemed it more valuable than your own life.. “How would you let someone steal it? Are you sure you didn’t secretly hide it for yourself?” “Are you doubting me? Where’s your evidence?” Hector furrowed his brows “Uncle Hector, the day has eyes, and the night has ears. We all know the truth.” Dylan took a bite of the banana and grinned. “As your nephew, I advise you to consider handing it over soon. Otherwise, no one can guarantee that today’s events won’t repeat themselves.” Everybody’s faces fell when they heard that. Especially Natasha, as her anger flared up. She rushed forward and grabbed Dylan’s collar. “What did you just say? Are you saying you had a hand in today’s accident?” “Don’t get so worked up. I was just
Chapter 1042 That night, Dustin and Natasha sat by Haley’s bedside in one of the wards of East Swinton Hospital. Their hearts ached for her as they watched her sleep. She had just gone through an operation. All her injuries had been treated and bandaged. Dustin had even performed acupuncture on her to ensure that her blood circulation was fine. Though she was no longer in danger, the shock of the accident was still traumatizing for a five- year–old child. “Don’t worry, Haley will be fine.” Dustin held Natasha’s hand to comfort her. “Those beasts! They didn’t even spare the child!” Natasha hissed through clenched teeth, furious. “I will get to the bottom of this. I will not let whoever is behind this off!” Dustin was dead serious. Whatever he did should not implicate those around him. They had crossed a line now that both Natasha and Haley were harmed. He would not go easy on wicked people. “Natasha!” Hector and Ruth rushed in. They were distraught when they saw the bandage around Natasha’s head. They hurried to ask if she was alright. “Dad, I’m fine. Just some minor scratches.” Natasha smiled, trying to ease their worries. “Oh, that’s good. It’s great to hear that you’re fine.” Hector heaved a sigh of relief. “I was shocked when I heard you guys had been in an accident. Thank god you’re all safe.” “How did you guys get into an accident? You guys weren’t drunk driving, were you?” Ruth asked. “It wasn’t us. Someone
Chapter 1041 Cecilia’s face was covered in blood, and her limbs looked misshapen. Her stomach must have suffered from the impact, too, as her water broke and she bled from her stomach. “Cecilia! Haley!” Dustin shouted. They were both unconscious, and neither of them responded. He quickly got out of the car. There was a loud clanging sound as he yanked the deformed car door open and pulled Cecilia and Haley out. They were both heavily injured. Dustin had no choice but to perform acupuncture on the spot to stop their bleeding. He also used his true energy to keep their condition stable. He had to keep them alive. “Sir Rhys!” Several of the Kirin Gang disciples rushed up to them.. They were guards that Dustin had arranged to keep Natasha safe. They had always secretly followed Natasha, so they immediately exited their car when they witnessed the accident. “Quick! Send them to the hospital immediately!” Once things were under control, Dustin swiftly carried Cecilia and Haley into the guards‘ car. He instructed them to send them to the hospital immediately. Then, he pulled open the car door to the pa*senger seat and helped Natasha out. “Haley … How’s Haley and Cecilia?” Natasha asked weakly. “They’re hurt, but they’ll survive. Don’t worry,” Dustin a*sured as he performed acupuncture on Natasha. “That’s good. It’s good to hear that they’re safe.” Natasha heaved a sigh of relief. “Sir Rhys! We’ve caught the driver! It was him!” Two disciples from Kirin Gang brought a bald driver over. “Ms. Harmon, Mr. Rhys, I’m sorry. The brakes malfunctioned, and I lost control of the truck. There was nothing I could do.” The bald driver shrugged, trying to look innocent. “The brakes malfunctioned?”
Chapter 1040 Natasha sat in the front pa*senger seat as Dustin drove them back. Cecilia and Haley sat in the backseat. “Haley, if anyone ever dares to pick on you in the future, just tell me, alright? I’ll deal with them for you. Got it?” Natasha pulled out a piece of wet tissue to wipe a dirty spot off Haley’s face as she spoke. “Okay, got it.” Haley nodded. “Haley, how about I teach you martial arts from tomorrow onwards?” Dustin persuaded earnestly. “If anyone picks on you again, you can beat them up. You can even beat them up if you feel like picking on others.” “Stop saying nonsense.” Natasha rolled her eyes. “Martial arts training is tough. I don’t want my baby Haley to be all worn out. “Besides, is it appropriate for girls to beat other people up? Wouldn’t it be better for her to learn drawing or playing an instrument?”
Chapter 1039 Dahlia was trying to mediate between them. All Dustin had to do was take the opportunity to apologize and make amends. He would be able to walk away with his life. Why was he so stubborn? Was his pride more important than his life? What was he thinking? “You made things very clear, and I understand what you’re trying to say. But there’s one thing that you all are mistaken about. “I do not fear the Forrests. The Forrests are the ones that should be afraid of me,” Dustin said impa*sively. The onlookers laughed when they heard what Dustin said. “The Forrests should be afraid of you? Hahaha! Young man, are you out of your mind? Do you even know what you’re saying?” “You’re just an insurance agent! How dare you act arrogantly? You think too highly of yourself!” “How foolish and ignorant! It seems he still isn’t aware of who he’s offended and where he stands. The onlookers shook their heads as they criticized Dustin, looking at him like he was an idiot. “What a stubborn idiot.” Dahlia shook her head. “I’ve given you a chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. In that case, forget it.” She wouldn’t meddle in other peoples‘ business usually. She wondered what had gotten into her today. “Let’s make things clear here. First things first, my man does not need a chance from you. “Secondly, we can take care of ourselves. We certainly won’t hold back if any of you get on our nerves. We’ll deal with the consequences after!”
Chapter 1038 “What are you two whispering about?” Dahlia was confused by the woman in front of her. Why was she sighing and then giggling? Was she out of her mind? “Nothing, nothing. Perhaps I’ve mistaken you for someone else. I’m sorry.” Natasha pursed her lips after she apologized. Well, Dahlia had lost her memories after all. Natasha couldn’t be so petty as to make things difficult for someone who’d lost her memories, could she? “You’re weird.” Dahlia frowned. Though she did not know Natasha, she had an unpleasant feeling about her. She looked past Natasha and at Dustin. “Hang on … You look quite familiar. Have I seen you somewhere?” “Hmm?” Natasha was immediately on guard when she heard that. Didn’t Dustin say that she’d lost her memories? Could she have remembered him? Was she deceiving them? “You remember me?” Dustin was surprised. “Oh, I remember now. You were the insurance agent.” Dahlia immediately recalled where she had met him after giving it some thought. This man had gone to the hospital to promote his insurance packages. But Florence had driven him away back then. “Yes, insurance agent. That’s right.” Dustin nodded. It seemed like she
Chapter 1037 Dustin looked extremely pissed. He rarely treated women harshly. But since Elena was being a bitch, things were different. The crowd gasped when they saw Elena being slapped. Was this guy crazy? It was one thing to beat up the Forrest family guards. But he went and slapped Ms. Forrest, too? She was the eldest daughter of an esteemed family! How could he have slapped her? Did he not fear death? “How dare you slap me?” Elena roared as she cupped her stinging cheek. She stared at Dustin in disbelief. Nobody had ever dared lay a finger on her since she was born, much less slap her! It was humiliating! “Hey! Why do you lot keep repeating the same thing? Don’t you have anything else to say?” Dustin had had it with them. “I–I’ll make you pay!” Elena shrieked before launching herself at Dustin. “Elena! Calm down! Calm down!” Sean was startled. He immediately went forward and pulled Elena back. She was putting herself in danger by attacking Dustin! “That’s enough!” A pretty woman walked in. Not only did she have a pretty face, but her figure was perfect, too. And most importantly, the cool. vibe she gave off was refreshing, like a breeze cutting through the summer heat. “Dahlia?” Dustin’s eyes widened in shock when he saw her. He never expected to see her here.
Chapter 1036 “How dare you!” “You arrogant bastard!” Sean and the rest of them were riled up by Dustin’s words. He really had a death wish for being so rude to Ms. Forrest! “You… You asked me to get lost?” Elena had to take a moment to let Dustin’s words sink in. After a while, she shouted in frustration, “You low–life peasant! You impudent a*shole! “I’ll teach you a good lesson today! Guards! Take him down!” “Yes, Ms. Forrest!” The guards did not hesitate. They pulled out their moves to take Dustin down. As they collided, a few punching sounds were heard. Then, the men went flying. The guards who had rushed up to attack Dustin fell heavily to the ground, pa*sing out on the spot. Everyone was shocked by what they saw. Everything had happened so fast that they could not even grasp what had happened. Elena had ordered her guards, and they went up to Dustin. But then, they ended up out cold on the ground. It took less than three seconds for all that to play out. They hadn’t even wrapped their heads around the fact, and everything was already over. It was shocking.
Chapter 1035 The bodyguards pushed their way violently through the crowd, forcefully clearing a path. When they were finally done clearing a wide and clear path, Elena showed up looking like a princess. She was gorgeous, and the clothes she wore were expensive. Matched with her elegant bearing, it was clear that she was no ordinary person. “Elena! You’re finally here!” Sean’s eyes instantly lit up when he saw her. He quickly went up to her and began groaning,” Look! Look at my face! “See what they’ve done to me! You must make them pay for this!“. Elena reached out and held Sean’s chin, turning his face this way and that. Her expression swiftly darkened. “Who was it? Who did this to you?” She had three criteria for her men. First, they must be handsome. Second, they had to be good in bed. And finally, they must be able to please her. Now that Sean’s handsome face had been destroyed, it was almost like her personal property had. been destroyed. She wouldn’t take it sitting down. “It was him!” Sean pointed at Dustin. He continued fiercely, “He was the one who beat me up. He even threatened to beat you up, too!” “Oh?” Elena’s gaze swept over to him. She asked loudly. “How dare you beat up my man? How arrogant of you!” “And who are you to be yapping away here?” Dustin looked Elena up and down impatiently.
Chapter 1034 Half an hour later, as Elena was still chatting with Dahlia, she received a call. Upon answering it, she heard Sean’s sobbing. “Elena I’ve been beaten up. Quick, get some men here to back me up. The bastard is wild!” “What? Even you were beaten up?” Elena frowned. “What happened? Didn’t I send two bodyguards with you?” All her guards were carefully picked. No regular thugs would be able to mess with them. “They weren’t much help at all! They were beaten up within seconds! Even I was implicated!” Sean sounded indignant. “Didn’t you make use of the Forrest family name?” Elena asked. “Of course I did! But that only got the rascal beating us up even worse!” Sean cried out amidst sobs. “What? He carried on even after knowing you were related to the Forrest family?” Elena was infuriated. “How dare a mere thug behave so arrogantly? Stay there! I’ll be there in a bit!” “Okay. Hurry! I’ll try my best to hold him back,” Sean said. “Ms. Forrest, sounds like you’re in a bit of trouble. Do you need any help?” Dahlia asked. “Don’t worry about it. It’s nothing to be concerned about. But if you’re interested in being in on the fun, you’re welcome to join, Ms. Dahlia.” Elena grinned. “Sure. I haven’t got anything better to do either. I’ll go with you.” Dahlia nodded. Elena had just given her two billion. She thought that it was only fair that she helped her out. They left the restaurant and gathered a few of Elena’s bodyguards. Then, they went over to Golden Apple Kindergarten. Over at the kindergarten, Sean and his sister, Mrs. Lansky, huddled together in a corner as they shuddered uncontrollably.
Chapter 1033 Over in a high–end restaurant, several well–dressed young people gathered together. They chatted as they sipped on some wine. “Dahlia, I really envy you for being favored by Sir Mosey. Congratulations on becoming his goddaughter!” 1 A young lady dressed in red smiled brightly at Dahlia, appearing very enthusiastic. She was Elena Forrest, the eldest daughter of the Forrest family. The Forrest family was one of Oakvale’s eight great families. “I heard that Sir Mosey has been in a war for many years and has no kids. You must be extremely talented and kind for him to take you as his goddaughter,” a vain–looking man said with a smile. The man was Sean Hoovey, Elena’s boyfriend. He was a smooth talker who charmed his way through life. “Dahlia, why don’t you tell us how you got to know him?” Elena could not contain her curiosity. Sir Mosey generally avoided crowds and was a very reserved person. He was rarely ever seen around large groups of people. Hence, it was shocking to hear that he had suddenly visited Millsburg. He had even found himself a god–daughter. Many influential people in Oakvale had gathered to find out what it was all about when they heard about it. “Well, it was pure coincidence.” Dahlia took a sip of
Chapter 1032 “Huh?” Mrs. Prewitt was in a daze, cradling her cheek and feeling utterly bewildered. Why did Vernon hit her when she was helping him? What on earth was happening? “What are you still standing there for? Apologize!” Vernon landed another slap across her face. He didn’t dare provoke influential figures. However, he could easily control an insignificant headmistress. “I–I’m sorry… “Mrs. Prewitt was aggrieved as she gritted out the words. Although she wasn’t sure what was going on, it was clear that this bitch was someone important. Otherwise, Inspector Lansky wouldn’t have reacted that way. “Ms. Harmon, I apologize for not noticing you earlier.” After punishing Mrs. Prewitt, Vernon was full of smiles. “May I know what brings you here, Ms. Harmon?” “This is my man, and this is my goddaughter.” Natasha didn’t hold back her words. “Your wife a*saulted my goddaughter earlier. “My man then a*saulted your wife in retaliation to protect her. This is considered self–defense, don’t you think?” “Huh?” Vernon was taken aback and nodded immediately. “That’s right! It was in self–defense! It was my mistake. I almost apprehended an innocent man. My wife was in the wrong. I’ll apologize in her stead. I’ll make sure she behaves from now on. “Apologize?”
Chapter 1031 Mrs. Prewitt reminded him. “Jo?” After Vernon took a closer look, his eyes widened instantly. “W–What happened to you?” “It was him… That bastard did this to me!” With a trembling hand, Mrs. Lansky pointed at Dustin. Vernon’s gaze followed the direction his wife was pointing at. “It was you?” His expression turned dark. “You hit my wife?” he roared. “Yes, it was me.” Dustin nodded and admitted to it plainly. “This bitch was being unreasonable. I was only teaching her a lesson.” “You’ve got nerves! How dare you teach my wife a lesson?” Vernon had a dark and hostile look to him. “Why don’t you tell me how you plan on dealing with this matter?” Everyone had to show him respect in this area. If Dustin dared hit his wife, he had to either have a powerful background or be a naive hothead. Before being sure of his identity, Vernon had left some room for negotiation. “If this bitch apologizes to us, I’ll let today’s incident slide,” Dustin said impa*sively.
Chapter 1030 Dustin’s words were impactful! It left Mrs. Prewitt trembling as she alternated between anger and embarra*sment. Some parents, whom Mrs. Prewitt had repressed in the past secretly applauded. They found immense satisfaction in this turn of events. They were happy she finally had a taste of her own medicine since she always looked down on them. “You impudent bastard! Just who the hell are you? How dare you lecture me!” Mrs. Prewitt fumed, and her temper flared. “Just you wait and see! “I will expel Haley from this kindergarten and blacklist her! I will make sure she will never get an education in her lifetime! I’m going to blacklist all of you!” “Blacklist?” Dustin scoffed. He kicked Mrs. Prewitt down to the ground. “Why don’t you try? I’d like to see just how capable you are!” Mrs. Prewitt landed on her bottom. Scrambling to her feet, she yelled with a strained voice, “Security! Security! Where the hell are you? Come quickly!” After hearing her screams, two security guards rushed through the doors. But before they could act, Dustin turned to glare at them.
Chapter 1029 The crowd pointed and whispered, astonished at Dustin’s outrageous behavior. A simple apology would have resolved this matter. But now, it had escalated into a major issue. With Mrs. Lansky beaten up so badly, Dustin would probably end up with broken limbs. Worse still, he could be buried alive! Dustin delivered another slap that knocked Mrs. Lansky to the ground. He demanded, “Tell me, who exactly are you?” Mrs. Lansky’s face was beaten up so badly that she felt dizzy and disoriented. She couldn’t even tell left from right. “Stop it!” Right then, the kindergarten’s headmistress pushed through the crowd in a frantic rush. Seeing Mrs. Lansky’s swollen face, she was shocked and quickly helped her onto a chair. “Oh my, Mrs. Lansky! What happened to you? Who did this to you?” Mrs. Lansky’s arm shook as she pointed at Dustin. “How dare you!” The headmistress turned around and roared, “Who are you? How dare you lay your hands on Mrs. Lansky? Do you have any idea of the trouble you’ve caused?”
Chapter 1028 The unexpected scene‘ shocked everyone present. Nobody could have predicted that someone would actually hit Mrs. Lansky’s son. Everyone knew that Mrs. Lansky was infamous for being a tyrant in this area. Nobody dared to offend her. “Oh my God! My son!” After a momentary shock, Mrs. Lansky screamed. She rushed forward clumsily and wrapped the disoriented, chubby kid in her arms. The little kid now had a crooked nose and busted lips. His mouth was also covered in blood, with two front teeth missing. Half of his face was extremely red and swollen. “Son! Don’t scare me like this! Wake up!” Mrs. Lansky was panicking and pinched his nose repeatedly to wake him up. It was only after he woke up that she calmed down slightly. However, very soon, her expression turned hideous. She screamed, “Who was it that hit my son? Who was it? Reveal yourself!” She turned around, looking like she was about to commit murder. “It was me!” Dustin stepped forward with a dark expression. His gaze turned murderous, especially when he noticed the injury on Cecilia and Haley’s face. “You son of a bitch! How dare you hit my son! Do you know who I am?” Mrs. Lansky roared.
Chapter 1027 “What bullshit!” “Mrs. Lansky glared at her. “How can you compare that little bastard to my precious son? A strand of hair on his body is worth more than her life! “I’m warning you, grovel on your feet and apologize now! Or you won’t like what’s going to happen to you!” “Mrs. Lansky! Can you be reasonable? It’s clearly your son’s fault. Why should we be the ones to apologize?” Cecilia said with a frown. Without hesitation, Mrs. Lansky delivered a harsh slap across Cecilia’s face. She yelled, “I told you to apologize, so just apologize! What’s all this nonsense? If you challenge me again, I’ll tear your mouth apart!” “You-” Cecilia clenched her teeth, seething in anger. She didn’t expect Mrs. Lansky to be so unreasonable. Not only did they refuse to apologize for their mistake, they even resorted to violence. They were being too much! “Don’t hit my mum!” Haley stood in front of her mother with outstretched hands. She looked angry. “You’re a bad person! An old witch! I’m going to get Mister Strong to attack you!” “You little bastard! You deserve to be punished!” Mrs. Lansky flew into a rage and slapped Haley hard across the face. The force knocked her onto the ground. Soon, she started bleeding from her nose.
Chapter 1026 “My dear, it’s time to take your medicine.” While Dustin was chatting with Cornelius, a melodious female voice rang out. They saw Natasha walk in gracefully with a steaming bowl in her hands. She had an enchanting smile and a rosy complexion. She carefully brought the medicinal soup to Dustin’s lips. “Come on, my dear, drink up.‘ Dustin’s eyes twitched. Why did this scene seem so familiar? “My dear, what’s the matter? Drink up,” Natasha said with a charming smile. Her eyes carried a hint of playfulness. “Umm, can I not drink it?” Dustin was reluctant. “Of course not. I personally prepared it for you.“. Natasha raised an eyebrow. “What’s the matter? You don’t think I poisoned it, do you?” Dustin sighed. “Well, it will be worth it if I die by your hand.” He then lifted the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Seeing his face all puckered up, Natasha burst out in laughter. “Alright, alright, no more teasing. Let’s go have dinner. I have all your favorite dishes prepared today.” Natasha took out a tissue and wiped Dustin’s mouth. She then linked arms with him before walking out of the room. They had just taken a few steps when Natasha’s phone rang. She answered it, and her face–grew
Chapter 1025 He could only hold on to her tightly, feeling her warmth and savoring her scent. It was only at that moment that his anxious heart finally calmed down. “I’m happy you’re alive,” Dustin whispered softly after a long pause. “Alright, stop hugging me. I’m starting to run out of breath,” Natasha smiled knowingly. She patted Dustin gently on the back. Although she enjoyed the moment, he was hugging her a bit too tightly. “Ahem … I’m sorry, I was out of line.” Dustin snapped back to reality and released her immediately. He had let his emotions take over earlier. He didn’t even realize what he had done “I’m happy you did that. At least it shows that you care about me,” Natasha smiled sweetly. She was happy. They had gone through life and death together. It was an experience that placed her way beyond what he had with Dahlia. So what if they’d been married before? They’d even risked their lives for each other! P “Dear, rest up. I’ll go check if your medicine is ready.” Natasha tiptoed to give Dustin a kiss on the cheek before turning to leave. A gentle smile formed on Dustin’s lips as he watched her leave. He
Chapter 1024 After some time, Dustin woke up groggily, only to find himself lying on the bed. The sunlight that shone through the windows was slightly glaring to his eyes. “Dustin! You’re finally awake!” Ruth, who had been keeping vigil by his bedside, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “How long have I been unconscious?” Dustin asked. He just woke up and was still feeling slightly disoriented. “You were out for three days. Luckily, Dr. Watkins said you were fine. Or, we would have prepared for your funeral,” Ruth said. “Three days? That long?” After a momentary daze, he finally remembered something. “Oh, how about your sister? How is she? Is she awake yet?” “My sister?” Ruth was dejected after she heard him. Lowering her head, she was choked with sobs. “Natasha… she’s gone… “What? She’s dead?” Those words hit Dustin like lightning, leaving him stunned. His already pale face turned whiter. It was as if his soul had left his body. “How can that be? I–Impossible! “I found the Shadowbloom! Why did she still die? Why?” Dustin shook his head frantically, his expression filled with disbelief. He couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t accept that outcome.
Chapter 1023 Linden sighed, “Right now, only the Shadowbloom and Phoenixwort can save her. “If Mr. Rhys can bring back those herbs in time, there is a greater chance for survival. But if he takes too long, I’m afraid that glimmer of hope would die out.” “Oh, Dustin! Where have you gone? Why aren’t you back yet?” Ruth was crying as she muttered to herself. She hadn’t told her parents about Natasha yet. She was afraid they wouldn’t be able to handle the shock. Suddenly, the door burst open with a loud bang. Following that, a bloodied Dustin staggered in with quick steps. He appeared quite disheveled. “Dr. Watkins! I found it! I found the herb!” Dustin lifted his shirt and carefully took out a black flower that was emitting a strange glow. “You found it?” Linden took a closer look and grew elated. “It really is the Shadowbloom! Excellent … This is wonderful!” “Dr. Watkins, Natasha can now be saved with this Shadowbloom, right?” Dustin looked hopeful. He had traded this precious herb with his life. “Yes, but I would need your blood, too.” Linden explained, “During your previous treatment, your blood had already produced the antidote
Chapter 1022 Meanwhile, within Azure Mist’s camp, Emily was shaking her head as she looked at Vanessa. “Vanessa, stop looking. We’re mere ants in the eyes of Dustin. We’re worlds apart.” Her eyes followed the path Dustin had taken, and she let out a deep sigh. 2 “As the chosen one, he’s a force capable of overwhelming the grandmasters. We can never hope to reach his level in our lifetime.” She shared the same admiration toward Dustin, who was a young grandmaster. But she was well aware that they were not in the same league. It would be best to only admire him from afar. Getting closer would only lead to nothing but frustration. “If only he wasn’t so remarkable,” Vanessa muttered. She looked conflicted. She had finally found someone she liked. But he was so outstanding that she felt inferior. Perhaps it was better to part ways and forget each other in the martial world. Perhaps this was the best outcome they could hope for. Yet, why was she reluctant
Chapter 1021 Abigail left, carrying Michael’s body. But the words she left behind had sent shivers down the spines of those who heard her. Even though they escaped death, they couldn’t find it in themselves to be happy. Who would have thought an ordinary woman was the Mystic Arts Order’s Grand Sorceress? The Mystic Arts Qrder’s name alone sent fear into the hearts of people. The dread that had deeply ingrained itself was impossible to erase. Nothing good will ever come from offending the Grand Sorceress. What was more, they had forced her father to his death. Since it involved the death of her loved one, the grievance she held would know no bounds. From today onward, they would have to live in constant fear and anxiety. With no other way out, they could only await death. “Sir Reeds, what do we do now? It seems like we have landed ourselves in huge trouble!” A pale Graham stumbled his way toward Ronald. He still hadn’t recovered from the injury Dustin’s. sword had inflicted. Theodore and Orson suffered worse fates. One had a severed arm, while the other had turned blind. They were true comrades in adversity.
Chapter 1020 Dustin patted Abigail’s shoulder. He picked up the Shadowbloom and turned around to leave. He wasn’t able to stop her since she already made a choice. He could only wish her the best. “Goodbye, sir. ” As Abigail watched him leave, she bit her lips, tears streaming down her face. After today, she wasn’t sure when she would ever see him again. “Abigail, do you want me to kill these scum for you?“: Penelope swept a glance across the various sects. A red glint flashed in her eyes. It unnerved everyone present. They broke out in cold sweat, trembling from fear. Yet, they didn’t dare move. They were like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. “No need! I will take revenge myself!” Abigail declined immediately. With a chilling gaze, she took a good look around, remembering everyone’s faces. “Listen up, you scum! I’m letting you go today, but this is not out of kindness. Because one day, I will kill every one of you! “Don’t you ever forget! One day, I will make you pay back tenfold–no, a hundredfold for what you’ve done today. “I’m going to torment you endlessly and make you suffer unbearable pain. I will make you die a slow, agonizing death while drowning in fear and despair!
Chapter 1019 “I want to slaughter all these hypocrites and kill everyone that deserves to die! I will overturn this fake, wretched world of the martial arts for good!” Abigail looked determined as she stressed every word. The menacing air she exuded left the others shuddering in fear. Dustin couldn’t help but sigh when he heard her. He knew Abigail had changed. She was no longer the kind, innocent woman she was before. Yet, he couldn’t blame her. Her father had risked his life to save everyone. But he was driven to death by the very people he saved. Who exactly was to blame? She had been pushed to this point! Since there was no reward for kindness, it was only right for kindness to be forsaken. Since justice wasn’t served, it was only right for evil to spread. “Abigail, whatever you decide, I will support you.” Dustin stroked Abigail’s head. He told her gently, “Remember, I’ll always stand by your side. If you ever feel mistreated, just come back. Even if everyone is against you, I’ll protect you.” “Okay!” Abigail nodded solemnly, her eyes brimming with tears. “Madam Penelope, I hope you will take good care of Abigail.” Dustin turned his attention to Penelope. He said firmly, “If the members of the Mystic Arts Order dare bully her, I will make sure to end all of you.” “Oh?” The corner of Penelope’s lips curved up into a smile. She was amused. She said, “Kid, you’re the first who dares speak to me that way.”
Chapter 1018 Looking at Abigail, who was consumed with sorrow in his arms, Dustin sighed and reached out to pat her back. “Mr. Robinson is gone now. Don’t worry, I’m here. From now on, I’ll be your family. I promise I’ll never let anyone bully you,” he comforted. “Why? What did I do wrong?” Abigail kept wailing in pain. “My mom has left me, and now even my dad is gone! I don’t understand! Why is this happening to me? Why?” Michael had been righteous throughout his entire lifetime. He had never done anything bad. Even if someone had set him up, he wouldn’t harbor any resentment, let alone seek revenge. Abigail just couldn’t figure out why such a person would end up dying so miserably. Weren’t good people supposed to be rewarded? If that were the case, she would rather be a villain! “Kid, you’ll have to depend on yourself for everything,” Penelope Solace said faintly. Then, she added, “Remember, in order to survive, you must be strong. You have to be powerful to the point that you can change, the world and have everyone fear you.” Hearing that, Abigail trembled. She turned around. “Who are you?” “Me?” Penelope shot her a slight smile. “I’m your grandmother.” “Grandmother?” Abigail was stunned. “Why have I never heard of you?” “We hadn’t had the chance to meet, so it’s not surprising that you don’t know me. But it’s okay. I’ll protect you from now on. No one will dare bully you,” Penelope said, her gaze filled with affection.
Chapter 1017 The crowd exchanged glances, filled with anger and resentment. However, Ronald was too powerful. They dared not go against him. “Both of you, go and finish off that guy. I’ll reward you generously once you’re done.” Ronald casually pointed at two martial artists. “Huh?” Shocked, the martial artists immediately waved their hands. “Sir Reeds, we aren’t his match at all! We are too weak!” “Cut the crap! Do as I say or die!” Ronald shouted. Upon hearing that, the two martial artists turned pale and nearly collapsed. Either fight against Dustin or be executed by Ronald. There was no third option. “Why don’t you fight with me instead of using them as your scapegoats, Ronald?” Dustin shouted. “Hmph! Stop putting on an act. Your internal injuries have resurfaced. I doubt you can even stand properly now.” Ronald sneered. “Oh? Since you’re so sure about it, bring it on.” Dustin beckoned for him to come over. “I don’t need to deal with a small fry like you. These two are more than enough!” As he spoke, he struck the ground at the feet of the two martial artists with his palm, creating a hole. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and attack! Do you want to be punished?” The two martial artists had no choice but to steel themselves and advance. If they met their end at Dustin’s hands, they could at least leave behind an honorable legacy. They wouldn’t have to worry about being labeled as cowards. “F***! Whatever!”
Chapter 1016 “What a powerful sword!” Seeing the Celestial Blade, Ronald sensed danger: He immediately moved hundreds of meters away from the scene. Fortunately, he reacted fast. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been any better than the three grandmasters. “My goodness! Look at the number of people he injured with just a move! Is he even a human?” “Monster! He is a monster!” Some of the neutral martial artists were stunned upon seeing the horrific scene in front of them. Their eyes widened with fear. Luckily, they hadn’t joined the fight, or they would have also been dead. “Amazing! As expected of a young grandmaster!” Emily stared at the imposing figure. She felt a sense of inexplicable excitement. Dustin had single–handedly defeated multiple sects. It was truly astonishing! “If someone is willing to go against the martial world for me, I’ll die with no regrets,” Vanessa muttered. There was a glint in her eyes. Which woman wouldn’t be attracted to such a strong and protective man? “Seriously? Is he going to challenge all of them by himself?”
Chapter 1015 Theodore glared at him. “We are doing this for the greater good. If you insist on protecting her, you’ll end up going against the entire martial world!” “That’s right! Hand her over now, or you’ll be our enemy!” Graham shouted. “Cease your harmful actions, and you may achieve instant enlightenment,” Orson said. He looked compa*sionate again. 1 “For the greater good? Your enemy?” Dustin snorted. He continued, “If the martial world is full of selfish, immoral people like you, I don’t mind being your enemy. Didn’t you say that I’m a demon? I’ll just be one, then! “Whoever hurts my disciple will die! Go ahead. Try me! Let’s see if I can kill you with my evil powers! Bring it on!” Dustin suddenly took a step forward. He gave off a strong wave of lethal hostility. For a moment, even Theodore, Graham, and Orson were stunned. They wondered if Dustin had gone insane. How could he go against the entire martial world? “Don’t panic, everyone!” Right then, Ronald stepped forward. He shouted, “He’s injured. He can barely hold on for much longer!” Upon hearing that, they all instantly perked up. They thought Dustin was putting up a front.
Chapter 1014 “Die! I want all of you to die!” Abigail screamed in rage and grief, her eyes red. Her white hair danced in the air. She resembled someone who had gone astray. All of a sudden, her body trembled. She spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground. 1 Her earlier attack had drained all of her energy. She was now at the mercy of others. Abigail could barely hang on. “Abigail!” Azalea, who was disheveled, immediately got up and ran over to Abigail. After making sure that Abigail was still alive, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, she was the daughter of the Grand Sorceress, after all. Now that her seal was broken, her true abilities had been completely awakened. As long as Abigail could pull this through, she would undergo a powerful revival! “That power was way too terrifying!” “Demon! She’s a demon!“. Looking at the wreckage around them, everyone was in shock and fear. They never thought someone as delicate as Abigail could unleash such terrifying energy. “That was so close! I almost died!” Graham swallowed hard. If he had suffered the blow head–on earlier, even as a grandmaster, he would’ve been vaporized on the spot. “Who is she exactly?” Theodore frowned as a cold shiver ran down his spine.
Chapter 1013 All the plants and trees within a 20–foot radius were frozen. A phoenix pattern suddenly appeared behind Abigail. It was the seal within her body. Under extreme sadness and hatred, her true ability gradually awakened, breaking the seal. Streaks of golden rays pierced through her body. It transformed into a huge golden phoenix in the air. Radiant with colorful feathers, the phoenix unfurled its wings. Its eyes were filled with disdain. As expected of the king of birds, its power was evidently mighty. “Die! Go and die! I want to kill each and every single one of you!” Abigail roared. Her eyes were red and hostile. At this moment, her hair was starting to turn white. In a flash, she was completely white–haired. Then, a deadly energy surged forth from within her body. Under the influence of the negative energy, the golden phoenix began to transform. It turned into a sinister black phoenix. Its gaze was laced with murderous intent, intense loathing, and overwhelming resentment. One look alone would intimidate anyone. “D–Demon! She’s a demon!” The martial artists were frightened. They immediately stopped moving forward.
Chapter 1012 “Dad?” Seeing Michael had breathed his last, Abigail was stunned for a moment. She then burst into tears. “Dad, wake up! Dad!” she cried out mournfully. She held her father’s lifeless body tightly as sadness washed over her. Two tracks of bloody tears coursed down her face and dripped onto the ground. She couldn’t believe that her only family was gone. She was all on her own from now on. At this moment, she seemed to have fallen into a dark abyss. Her entire world had turned colorless. “He has finally died!” Looking at Michael’s corpse, Theodore couldn’t help but laugh. “This is great! Someone like him should be eliminated!” “So what if he was one of the five ultimate grandmasters of Balerno? Didn’t he still end up dead? Graham sneered. Michael’s death was undeniably a weight off his mind. On the other hand, Orson only let out a long sigh. “Now, finish off these two women!” Theodore suddenly pointed at Abigail. Hearing that, everyone was stunned.
Chapter 1011 “Huh?” Theodore, Graham, and Orson instinctively took several steps back, their expressions changing drastically. At this moment, they could feel the looming presence of death. A shiver ran down their spines, and they broke into a cold sweat. If Michael executed this move of his, even if the three of them survived, they were doomed to be gravely injured. “Sir Robinson, you’d better not do anything reckless. Or, you’ll also die!” Theodore warned. “Well, I’m already dying. I think it’s a pretty good thing if I can bring the three of you together with me,” Michael uttered. Hearing that, they frowned. They wouldn’t want to risk their lives. “Sir Robinson, you still have to think about your daughter, right?” Theodore said. “I can let her go, but you must die today.” “Yes! Only if you die can your daughter live!” Graham echoed. “Can I trust you?” Michael asked. Theodore held his head up high. “No matter what, I’m still a prominent figure in the martial world I won’t go back on my word.” “Michael, destroy your core first. I promise not to hurt your daughter,” Graham vowed. “Innocent people will not be implicated.” Orson nodded slightly. “Okay. Since you
Chapter 1010 “Don’t you dare! Whoever attacks them will die!” Azalea immediately rushed in front of Abigail. With two swords in her hands, she exuded a strong murderous intent. “Ronald is lying to you! My father wasn’t led astray! He didn’t do anything evil!” Abigail continued to explain upon seeing the martial artists closing in on them. “My dad has risked his life to save you. You wouldn’t have survived if he hadn’t absorbed all the black fog into his body. “Even if you aren’t grateful for that, you shouldn’t turn on the person who helped you. Wake up! Ronald is the biggest villain!” she cried, trying hard to prove their innocence. However, whatever she said didn’t seem to affect the martial artists in any way. “Don’t you understand, Abigail? They only care about their own benefit. The truth doesn’t matter to them at all! They’re just a bunch of hypocrites! Quick, leave with Sir Robinson first! I’ll cover for you!” Azalea said, charging forward with her two blades. 1 She was far from being virtuous, but she wasn’t ungrateful. “You’re courting death!” Theodore snorted and thrust his palm in her direction. Azalea was sent flying several feet away. She was no match for him at all. Right then, Michael let out a faint sigh as he slowly stood up. At the same time, a wave of vitality was gradually surging within his body. The color was slowly returning to his face. Soon, a fierce energy rose inside him–he was burning his life essence! “Dad?” Abigail was stunned, wondering how her father became energetic all of a sudden.
Chapter 1009 The martial artists immediately headed over to the source. “It looks like it isn’t over yet.” After exchanging
