Chapter 951
“I know how you feel, Ms. Harmon. But the effects of the poison are too strong.
“I’ve tried everything, but nothing worked. I’m really sorry.” Linden sighed.
He cared a lot about Dustin and even planned to make Dustin his
successor. It was unfortunate
that Dustin had been poisoned with an incurable poison.
“T–that’s impossible!” Natasha began to panic. Nobody stood a chance if even Linden was unable
to cure Dustin.
“Hang on!” Natasha suddenly recalled something.
“Dr. Watkins, I heard Stoneray Order has a magical herb called
‘Resurgathorn‘. It can revive
someone when mixed with a secret recipe. Is that true?”
“Resurgathorn?” Linden frowned when he heard this.
“Ms. Harmon, that is something that is forbidden. We mustn’t use it.”
“Why not? Are you worried that we won’t be able to pay up?” Natasha was anxious.
“It has nothing to do with money.”
Linden shook his head before explaining, “Resurgathorn isn’t a
medical herb. Rather, it’s a highly
potent poison that’s difficult to use.
“Doctors are forbidden from using it.
“I don’t care if it’s a medical herb or poison as long as it can save
Dustin. Just tell me what I have to do.” Natasha was unfazed by Linden’s explanation.
“If we use Resurgathorn in his current condition, we’ll have to risk
another person’s life. All the poison in Mr. Rhys‘ body will be transferred to the other person’s.
“It means we’re exchanging one life for another,” Linden said sadly.
“Exchanging one life for another?” Many paled when they heard that. The cost of treating Dustin was far greater than they had expected.
“That’s merely one of the conditions. Not everyone has the right
criteria to sacrifice themselves.”
“During the process, the person sacrificing must willingly go through
unbearable pain. Any regret or resistance will render the attempt
useless. “That person must have a strong mind and unbreakable love toward Mr. Rhys for the treatment to work.”
Linden’s explanation made everyone silent in thought, and their
expression became grim. They thought of finding a terminally ill patient to fill the role, but it seemed like that plan wouldn’t
work now.
Then, who might fulfill these requirements? After all, even close
family members would be reluctant to sacrifice themselves willingly.
“Everyone has the right to choose, so we shouldn’t force anything on
anyone. I think we should give up.” Linden sighed again.
“Dr. Watkins, I’m willing to give it a try.” Natasha volunteered.
“What?” Everyone’s eyes shot toward Natasha, their eyes filled with
astonishment.
“Ms. Harmon, this isn’t a simple matter. If anything goes wrong, both of you will die!” Linden warned.
He’d made everything clear, yet Natasha still stubbornly insisted on
trying.
“I know, but I still want to try.” Natasha walked over to Dustin’s
bed and caressed his cheek.
Her eyes were soft but determined when she said, “He’s my husband.
I’m willing to sacrifice
myself for him.”
Despite her calm tone, her love for Dustin was evident.
“Are you sure you want to do this, Ms. Harmon?” Linden frowned.
“I’m sure.” Natasha nodded.
“The pain will be unbearable. Are you sure you won’t regret this?”
Linden asked again.
“Yep.” Smiling, Natasha bent over and gently kissed Dustin’s lips.
“If he doesn’t make it, I’ll die with him.”
Everyone went silent when they heard her words.
Chapter 952
“Goodbye, my love …”
Despite being unconscious, Dustin heard a familiar voice speaking to
him.
He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn’t no matter how hard he
tried. It felt like his body had
fallen into a bottomless pit and was still falling.
Fear and despair washed over him in the dark world.
He didn’t know how long he’d been in this state.
A year? Ten? Or maybe even a hundred?
Just as Dustin was about to break down, he saw a burst of light in
the distance.
Like a drowning man yearning for air, he swam desperately toward the
source of the light. He got
closer and closer until the light engulfed him.
Suddenly, Dustin woke up on the hospital bed with a gasp. Air filled
his lungs, and his heart
began picking up pace.
It felt as if he had been reborn.
He took a moment to check himself and realized that the poison had
miraculously disappeared
from his body!
Although he felt slightly weak, his life was no longer in danger.
“Mr. Rhys, you’re finally awake. I thought you would not make it,”
someone said tiredly.
Dustin looked up to see Linden by the bed. Sweat beaded the older
man’s forehead as he panted
exhaustedly.
“So you were the one who saved me. Thank you so much!” Dustin
frantically thanked Linden.
It was nearly impossible to neutralize the poison in his body, so
Linden must have gone through a
lot to bring Dustin back to life.
“It’s nothing. I only had to use my energy. You should be thanking
the person next to you instead.” Linden sighed.
“Beside me?” Puzzled, Dustin turned his head.
On the bed next to his lay a beautiful but lifeless woman whose
breathing was so faint her chest barely moved. She looked just like a
corpse.
“Natasha?” Stunned, Dustin sprung up in horror.
He threw himself toward her and began checking her weak pulse. She
was so weak she was nearly dead.
Dustin tried channeling his true energy to her, but all her organs
remained unresponsive. He
touched her once supple and smooth skin, but it was icy cold and
stiff.
“How could this be? What happened?” Dustin was terrified.
He couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her.
Despite all the medical textbooks he has read, he has never seen a
condition like hers, much less
know how to treat it.
It felt like Natasha was already dead.
“Dr. Watkins, what happened to her?” Dustin spun his head around
panickedly.
“Well, she turned this way because she tried to save you.” With a
sigh, Linden began telling Dustin.
the whole story.
Chapter 953
From agonizing pain to reaching death, Linden carefully watched the
entire process. He felt that
Dustin needed to know how far Natasha would go for the person she
loved.
Dustin was dumbstruck after hearing Linden explain the event.
He never imagined that Natasha was willing to sacrifice herself to
save him. At this moment, he
finally understood his feelings for her.
Still, there was no way he could accept her feelings for him if it
led to something like this.
“Mr. Rhys, Ms. Harmon left this letter for you. Please read it.”
Conflicted, Linden cautiously passed
Dustin a letter.
No one had ever impressed him as Natasha did. After all, even
grandmasters might not be able to
handle the unbearable pain.
Yet, an ordinary woman could withstand the pain without complaining
and did so without regret.
She was fearless.
Linden couldn’t imagine how much Natasha must love Dustin for her to
go so far. Linden had
already given up on Dustin.
But Natasha made him realize that, sometimes, even humans could
possess the strength of gods.
Dustin shakily opened the letter to see rows of neat, dainty writing.
“Dear,
“By the time you read this, I’m probably gone. Please don’t blame
yourself since I did everything willingly.
“From the moment we met, I knew you were different.
“Initially, I found you intriguing. But unknowingly, I fell in love
with you.
“You occupy my mind each day, and I constantly yearn to see you
again.
“Your happiness brought me joy, and I felt sad whenever I saw you
upset. This must be what love, feels like, right?
“Speaking of which, I’m kind of jealous of Dahlia Nicholson. She got
to meet you before I did and
“Fortunately, I got my chance since she didn’t know how to appreciate
you.
“Right, I have a question. Who is more important to you–me or her? I
bet I’ve taken the lead now,
right?
“Oh, well. What’s the point of competing with her now?
“In any case, please live a peaceful and happy life for both of us.
“Don’t you cry for me; you’d better not forget me!
“I’ll be watching over you from above. Remember, be happy.
“Farewell, darling.”
Tears flowed down Dustin’s cheeks and fell on the letter. He wept as
he read what Natasha had
written.
Like most men, he rarely cried. But this letter managed to hit him
where it hurt.
“Oh, why were you so stupid? What am I supposed to do now that you’re
gone?
“How am I supposed to repay you? You have to wake up!” Dustin pressed
his forehead against
Natasha’s and whispered brokenly.
He hasn’t cried since his mother passed, but Natasha’s feelings for
him opened his heart again.
He was sure he would never be able to forget her.
Chapter 954
Natasha’s peaceful expression was like a knife stabbing Dustin’s
heart.
He hated himself for causing her to end up like this, and he hated
himself for being unable to save
her.
If he could turn time back, he would switch things around.
“Hang on! Switch?” Dustin perked up when he thought of something.
He looked at Linden and asked, “Dr. Watkins, do you have any
Resurgothorn left? I want to save her by exchanging our lives!”
“Don’t be foolish!” Linden scolded him, frowning.
“Do you think Resurgathorn is food? It’s not readily available.
“Besides, Ms. Harmon sacrificed herself for you. The least you could
do to make her sacrifice
worthwhile is to live properly!”
“I don’t want her to sacrifice herself. I just need her to be alive!”
Dustin roared with bloodshot eyes.
“I don’t care what I must do and what price I must pay. I just need
her to come back to life!”
Dustin begged, “Please, Dr. Watkins. You’re the best doctor I know.
Please help me save her!”
He fell to his knees in front of Linden.
“You-” Linden was exasperated and tried to pull Dustin up, but Dustin
refused to budge.
After a moment of hesitation, Linden gave in. “Fine. I might as well
tell you the truth.
“Although Ms. Harmon is practically dead, there’s still a way to save
her.”
“What is it?” Dustin lit up excitedly.
“Technically, Ms. Harmon should have died immediately after absorbing
the poison in your body.
But Resurgathorn and Septemortis seem to counter each other.
“So, the effects of the poisons were reduced by half, allowing her to
remain alive for so long,”
Linden explained.
“There are two ways to save her. First, you’ll need Phoenixwort.
Secondly, you’ll need to find a
“Unfortunately, it’s nearly impossible to find them, so you shouldn’t
have high hopes.” Linden
sighed.
He would have told Dustin about this if he felt it was achievable,
but it wasn’t.
“Phoenixwort? Shadowbloom? Where do I find them?” Dustin pressed.
“Phoenixwort has the power to raise the dead and is a sacred item to
the Mystic Arts Order. No outsider has ever seen it before.
“However, you’ll die if you barge into their territory!” Linden
warned.
The Mystic Arts Order was the darkest faction in the world. Many
formidable fighters were gathered there.
The faction’s current leader was also an ultimate grandmaster. Their
leader was one of the most powerful figures in the world and was skilled
in all sorts of magic.
That
person was so terrifying that even Dragonmarsh avoided them.
Dustin might be a young grandmaster, but he was no match for the
Mystic Arts Order.
Even Michael, one of the five ultimate grandmasters of Balerno, could
only flee when attacked by the Mystic Arts Order.
It was clear that the Mystic Arts Order was a place that terrified
all martial artists.
“Then, what about Shadowbloom?” Dustin frowned.
He wasn’t keen on becoming enemies with the Mystic Arts Order.
“Shadowblooms are also known as Flowers of the Underworld. Similar to
Phoenixworts, they can also bring someone back from the dead.
“However, this is most likely just a myth.”
Linden shook his head before continuing, “Legend has it that around
five decades ago, there was a woman who traveled to the ends of the world
in search of the flower. She wanted to save her ill husband.
“However, when she found the flower, her husband died.
“Since then, no one has ever heard from her. There are rumors that
she hid the flower inside her
The furrow between Dustin’s brows deepened. “Who’s the woman?”
“Her name is Iris Meskill. Fifty years ago, she was the head of Jade
Maiden Sisterhood and an
ultimate grandmaster,” Linden replied grimly.
Chapter 955
Five decades ago, Linden had barely started gaining fame while Iris
was already a household
name. He had the honor of meeting that impressive woman once.
“Iris Meskill? Jade Maiden Sisterhood?”
Surprised, Dustin asked, “Dr. Watkins, do you know where her tomb
is?”
“That’s why I said this is impossible,” Linden sighed.
“Since her death, many have searched for her tomb, yet no one has
succeeded. It basically doesn’t
exist!”
“Just because no one could find it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist,”
Dustin answered firmly.
“I’ll find a way to find the Shadowbloom. If I fail, I’ll have no
choice but to break into the Mystic
Arts Order!”
“Are you crazy? You’d be walking into the lion’s den!” Linden paled.
“That’s nothing compared to Natasha sacrificing her life to save
mine.” Dustin had a determined
gaze.
“But…” Linden was at a loss for words.
“Dr. Watkins, how much longer can Natasha hold on for?” Dustin asked.
“That’s hard to tell. I’d say anywhere from three days to half a
month. It’ll depend on her.” Linden
shook his head.
Dustin bent over to place a gentle peck on Natasha’s forehead. “Hang
on, Natasha. I’ll be back.
“You said you’d lock me to your side, so don’t break your promise.
I’ll save you no matter what, so
wait for me!”
With that, he spun around and left.
He had never looked so determined before that he seemed slightly
insane.
In a villa with a garden on the outskirts of town, Edith and several
disciples studied the broken
However, they couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary.
“Nikki, are you sure there’s something hidden inside the scripture?”
Edith narrowed her eyes
doubtfully.
“That’s what that bastard said, so it should be true.” Nikki frowned
uneasily.
“You might have been tricked!” Edith humphed.
They’ve inspected the scripture so many times but couldn’t find
anything. What a waste of time.
“Madam Edith, are we using the wrong methods?” Nikki asked
thoughtfully.
“Since it’s supposed to be a secret, it must be hidden so well that
it’s impossible to find with just
looking.”
“Then what should we do?” Edith retorted.
“People in the shows would either soak it in water or burn it. Why
don’t we give it a try?” Nikki asked hesitantly.
“Soak it in water or burn it?” Brittany nearly sprung up.
“Nikki Horst, are you crazy? The scripture is our treasure.
“How could you play around with it like that? How are you supposed to
pay if you accidentally damage it?”
“It was just a suggestion: Forget it, then.” Nikki was a little
guilty.
“Hang on! I think Nikki was right.
“Normal methods won’t work, so we have to take a more dramatic
approach,” Edith said.
“Madam Edith, how could you trust her words?” Brittany was
astonished.
“No pain, no gain. Since the scripture is useless now anyway, we
might as well risk it.
“We might even find a surprise!” Edith replied before instructing
someone to prepare water and
fire.
As the saying goes, “Without struggle, there is no success“.
The chance to become a grandmaster depended on this!
Chapter 956
Two copper basins were soon brought as Edith ordered. One contained
water, while the other had burning charcoal.
“Let’s try it out.”
Edith took a deep breath before tossing the scripture into the water.
Everyone observed the scripture, waiting for something to happen, but
nothing did.
Apprehensively, Edith fished the scripture out. Still, nothing seemed
to have changed.
“See, Madam Edith. I told you it wouldn’t work!” Brittany complained.
“Let’s try again!” Edith gritted her teeth and raised the scripture
again.
“Madam Edith!” Brittany quickly stopped Edith.
“We can let it dry if it’s wet. But if we burn it, we’ll never get it
back. Please think this through!”
“I’ve memorized all its contents anyway, so there’s no need to keep
it!”
Edith brushed Brittany’s hand away and threw the scripture into the
fire.
A puff of green smoke swirled around the basin as the scripture
erupted in flames. It quickly turned into a pile of ash.
“Madam Edith, I see something inside!” Nikki’s eyes were sharp, and
she quickly spotted the difference.
“I knew we’d find something!”
Edith extinguished the flames excitedly. She fumbled through the ash
before coming in contact with a specially crafted gold leaf.
After washing the gold leaf clean, Edith realized a map was carved
into it.
There were five words engraved at the map’s final destination-“The
Tomb of Iris Meskill“.
“Iris Meskill? Isn’t that our ancestor?” Edith got over her surprise
and was overjoyed.
She burst out laughing. “This is great! I knew our efforts wouldn’t
go to waste.
“I never expected our ancestors to hide this treasure in the
scripture. How lucky!”
Iris Meskill was the third–generation leader of Jade Sister
Maidenhood. She stood out as the most
exceptional and promising leader in its history. Fifty years ago, she
was renowned for her beauty
and skill.
Iris was also one of the most extraordinary female ultimate
grandmasters in Dragonmarsh. She
was rivaled only by the Prince of Theswe’s wife, the Princess Consort
of West Lucozia.
“But, Madam Edith, it’s written tomb here. There’s nothing about
treasures.” Brittany was puzzled.
“You’re still too young to understand what Iris Meskill’s tomb
symbolizes.”
Edith animatedly explained, “Iris Meskill is my mentor’s mentor,
making her my ancestor.
“She was a talented woman who surpassed all men, making her our role
model.
“She won countless valuables and jewels. She also had a hobby of
collecting treasures.
“Unfortunately, she fell in love with a man she shouldn’t have. When
that man died, she buried
herself and her treasures with him.
“No one knows where her tomb is.
“Before my mentor passed on, she told me if I could find Iris‘ tomb,
I’d find countless treasures and
valuables that could restore the Sisterhood to its former glory!”
By the time Edith finished speaking, her face was flushing with
excitement.
As an ultimate grandmaster, Iris had more treasure than anyone could
imagine. Therefore,
countless people have searched for her tomb but could never find it.
Edith never expected today to be her lucky day.
“Madam Edith, does that mean our success is near?” Brittany asked,
her eyes twinkling.
“Of course!” Edith tilted her head proudly.
“When we find her treasures, I’m sure the Sisterhood will dominate
the world!”
“Awesome!” Brittany nearly jumped up in excitement.
“Let’s start digging right now!”
Brittany couldn’t wait to find the treasures.
““What’s the rush? We should study the map carefully to avoid making
any mistakes.” Edith was
oddly calm as she forced her excitement down.
She knew digging out the treasures, even with the map, wouldn’t be
easy. She had to ensure all
preparations were ready since there was no room for mistakes.
Edith glanced at Nikki and ordered, “You can leave now, Nikki.
Brittany and I will study the map a
little longer.”
“What?”
Chapter 957
Taken aback, Nikki forced a smile. “Madam Edith, I’ve got good eyes.
I might be useful.”
“No thanks!” Edith frowned in annoyance.
“Having Brittany around will be enough. Leave.”
“But-” Nikki stopped talking when Edith glared at her.
The older woman snapped, “What? Are you going to defy me?”
“Of course not.” Nikki lowered her head and bit her lower lip.
“Get out!” Nikki was irritated.
“I’ll take my leave.” With a nod, Nikki left reluctantly.
Her gaze showed her discontent and resentfulness.
She couldn’t believe that despite all her contributions, Edith still
didn’t trust her. It was as if Nikki was an outsider.
Yet, without her, Edith wouldn’t have obtained the scripture and
discovered its secrets.
Nikki couldn’t understand why Edith would not acknowledge her hard
work and favor her.
Worst, instead of receiving Edith’s thanks, all Nikki got was Edith’s
anger thrown at her.
Nikki gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, displeased.
Once she left the villa, she grabbed her phone and dialed a number.
In a low voice, she said, “Dustin, I found one of the Sisterhood’s
secrets. I’m sure it’ll be useful to
you.
“Let’s meet at Auspicious Restaurant at 8:00 pm tonight if you’re
interested.”
8:00 pm at Auspicious Restaurant.
Nikki sat alone in a private dining room, feeling uneasy. She wasn’t
sure if Dustin would show up.
but she had to take a chance.
After everything that happened, she realized it was better to take
matters into her own hands instead of relying on others.
Since Edith didn’t trust her, Nikki no longer needed to prove her
loyalty. Instead, she would use everything in her reach to bring her
power.
Just then, the door opened, and Dustin walked in. None of his
subordinates accompanied him.
“You’re here.” Nikki instantly lit up and stood up.
She was happy and relieved he was here since it meant she still had a
chance.
“What’s the secret?” Dustin asked coldly.
“Give me Jade Maiden Scripture first, and I’ll tell you,” Nikki
bargained.
Without another word, Dustin took out a manuscript and tossed it onto
the table. He had
anticipated Nikki’s intentions, so he prepared the scripture
beforehand.
“I like how direct you are!” Nikki examined the scripture carefully.
Certain that nothing was wrong, she answered his question. “Madam
Edith found a map within.
the incomplete scripture.
“It’s a map that leads to Iris Meskill’s tomb, where countless
treasures are hidden!”
“Iris Meskill?” Dustin stiffened, losing his calm demeanor.
Chapter 958
“Iris Meskill’s tomb? Are you sure?” Dustin grabbed Nikki’s wrist.
Nikki winced as Dustin’s strong grip numbed her arm.
“I saw it with my own eyes,” Nikki ignored the pain and answered
firmly.
“Where’s the tomb? Tell me!” Dustin demanded frantically.
Although he intended to find out about Iris‘ tomb through the Jade
Maiden Sisterhood, he didn’t expect to get a lead so soon.
“You’re hurting me!” Nikki pulled herself free with a frown.
“I don’t know its exact location since Madam Edith chased me out
before I could study the map. I only remember vaguely seeing the ‘Black
Forest“.”
“The Black Forest?” Dustin frowned.
“Where’s that?”
“From what I found, the Black Forest is located in Lester. It’s a
primitive forest filled with dangerous swamps.
“Due to its treacherous terrain, people rarely go there, and it’s
never been developed,” Nikki explained
“That’s not what I want to know. I just need its location,” Dustin
retorted icily.
The forest was huge. Searching for a hidden tomb without a map would
be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
“That’s all I found out for now.”
Nikki shook her head before continuing, “But don’t worry, I’ll remain
by Edith’s side as a spy.
“I’ll let you know when I get any new information. However, I have a
condition.”
“What is it?” Dustin asked.
“If you find the treasures, I want half of it!” Nikki mustered her
courage and demanded.
She approached Dustin because she needed a strong and trustworthy
support.
“Fine,” Dustin responded without hesitation.
He couldn’t care less about the treasures. All he needed was the
Shadowbloom.
“Alright, that’s a deal!” Nikki beamed.
She was surprised. She expected him to bargain with her.
“Let me know when you discover anything.” Dustin spun around to
leave.
“Hang on!”
Nikki grabbed his arm and asked tentatively, “What happened before
this was my fault, so I’d like to apologize to you.
“Can you forgive me? I hope we can still be friends”
Her eyes teared up as she put on a pitiful act.
“We’re merely doing business, so don’t bring that up.” Dustin brushed
Nikki’s hand aside cooly and walked out without looking back.
He would never have agreed to meet her if he had no use for her.
“Why are all of you like this? I already gave in and apologized, so
why can’t you guys give me a chance?
“Just wait till I make all of you surrender to me!” Nikki seethed
through gritted teeth.
After a moment, she took a deep breath to compose herself.
She stored the scripture away carefully and made herself presentable
before going into another
private room.
And there sat Samuel Franklin.
“Mr. Franklin, I have valuable intel for you. However, you’ll have to
agree to my conditions first.”
By the following day, a shocking piece of information began spreading
in the martial world.
Chapter 959
Apparently, the location of Iris Meskill’s tomb had finally been
found. It was rumored to be in the Black Forest.
When the news got out, many martial artists rushed to Lester to try
their luck. After all, such opportunities were rare.
Meanwhile, in a sedan heading toward Lester, Dustin stared out the
window, lost in thought. Abigail sat beside him, chatting nonstop.
“Dr. Watkins told you to take care of yourself and take your medicine
on time. Remember not to use your true energy, or it could mess you up
inside,” she said.
“Also, I have no idea who leaked news about Iris Meskill’s tomb, but
many people are going after the treasure now. So, the competition’s going
to be tough.
“Oh, and one more thing. Last night, some skilled person broke into
the alliance’s prison and rescued Spring Hill.
“The alliance sent people to catch him, but no luck so far,” Abigail
reported as she scrolled through her messages.
Dustin, who had been zoning out, finally responded, “Spring Hill
escaped? Who could have broken him out of the martial arts alliance’s
prison?”
“According to Mr. Adler, it looks like Shadowslayer did it. The
alliance was also caught off guard,” Abigail explained.
“It might have been possible if it was Dimitri Gonzalez we’re talking
about. Still, I didn’t expect them to take such risks for a pawn.” Dustin
narrowed his eyes.
“Something’s been bothering me since Paul Hill’s death,” Azalea
suddenly said.
As Abigail’s bodyguard, Azalea always stayed close to Abigail.
“What is it?” Dustin raised an eyebrow.
“I don’t know. I just feel that we’re being led by the nose.” Azalea
crossed her legs and began
pondering about it.
“For now, just focus on the Shadowbloom.” Dustin closed his eyes,
uninterested.
“Fine,” Dustin responded without hesitation.
He couldn’t care less about the treasures. All he needed was the
Shadowbloom.
“Alright, that’s a deal!” Nikki beamed.
She was surprised. She expected him to bargain with her.
“Let me know when you discover anything.” Dustin spun around to
leave.
“Hang on!”
Nikki grabbed his arm and asked tentatively, “What happened before
this was my fault, so I’d like to apologize to you.
“Can you forgive me? I hope we can still be friends.”
Her eyes teared up as she put on a pitiful act.
“We’re merely doing business, so don’t bring that up.” Dustin brushed
Nikki’s hand aside cooly and walked out without looking back.
He would never have agreed to mee
her if he had no use for her.
“Why are all of you like this? I already gave in and apologized, so
why can’t you guys give me a chance?

through gritted teeth.

And there sat Samuel Franklin.
“Mr. Franklin, I have valuable intel for you. However, you’ll have to
agree to my conditions first.”
By the following day, a shocking piece of information began spreading
in the martial world.
Chapter 960
“Bastard?” The sudden voice startled the scar–faced man.
He whirled around to find a plainly dressed man quietly observing
him.
“Where the hell did you come from? You better stay out of this!”
Scarface’s face darkened.
“Please help me!” The woman thrashed around and cried out hopefully,
looking terrified.
She had almost given up, thinking she would be violated. But now,
someone was going to help her.
“I never said I was going to get involved. You guys can carry on,”
Dustin said with his arms crossed, looking unbothered.
+
“What?” Dustin’s response took Scarface aback. Even the woman was
confused.
Wasn’t Dustin supposed to be a hero who would rescue her? So, why
wasn’t he doing anything?
Was he just going to watch?
“Tch, I thought you were going to help her. Turns out you’re just a
coward!” Scarface sneered
“If you aren’t going to stand up for her, get lost and stop bothering
me!”
“Exactly! Scram, or we’ll break your legs!” Several of Scarface’s
lackeys chimed in.
“You do your thing, and I’ll do mine. Although, I’m curious if
someone like you can get it up, Dustin commented, glancing at Scarface’s
crotch disdainfully.
“You’re asking for it now!” The insult pissed Scarface off.
Without hesitation, he grabbed a nearby sword and swung it toward
Dustin, intending to tear him
apart.
Dustin stopped the attack by grabbing the blade. While Scarface was
stunned, Dustin swiftly
landed a kick on the former’s groin.
Scarface let out a pained cry, and he collapsed to the ground. His
face turned red as he frothed at
the mouth from the pain.
“How dare you hurt him! You’re dead meat!” Dustin’s actions pissed
off the other guys, and they
drew their swords.
However, Dustin swiftly incapacitated them with precise kicks aimed
at their groins. The men cried out, clutching themselves as they fell,
and piss trickled down their legs.
“Was it necessary to go mad just because of a few words?” Dustin
shook his head and walked away.
He never spared the woman a glance the entire time.
“Hey, wait!” The beautiful woman in tattered clothes caught up to
him, her ample chest bouncing
as she ran.
Due to her torn attire, she had to shield herself with her hands to
avoid flashing anyone.
“Yes?” Dustin looked back briefly with a calm expression.

expressed nei gratitude.
Without Dustin’s intervention, she might have been violated by now.
“I just happened to be passing by and did what was necessary. It’s no
big deal,” Dustin replied nonchalantly.
“You helped me out. I can’t let you go without thanking you. How
about I treat you to a meal?” Vanessa suggested with a smile.
“No thanks, I’m not hungry,” Dustin declined frankly.
“What?” Vanessa stiffened. She considered herself rather attractive,
and few people would turn her down.
