“H–how was this possible?!” Nigel gasped, his mouth wide and his face full of disbelief.
He finally witnessed how formidable the Four Scoundrels were in person. Either one of them could
quickly
snuff him out.
It was perhaps fate that an expert like himself had been crippled by a doctor they looked down upon.
Such a thing was practically unheard of!
“How is this guy so powerful?” udia’s eyes widened in shock and bewilderment.
Initially, she had assumed that Dustin was an unsavory character who only knew how to resort to using
dirty tricks up his sleeve, so she hadn’t expected him to be so skilled in martial arts.
He was miles better than her!
He wielded such strength at such a young age, too. She was frozen on the spot once the revtion hit
her that she was no longer a goddess among men.
“Dustin’s way too cool!” She cheered as her eyes sparkled.
After exchanging nces with one another, the rest of the girls also started looking at him in a different
light.
Not used to everyone’s starstruck gazes on him, Dustin walked up to Brent before asking. “Tell me,
who sent
you here?”
“Today’s my day of reckoning anyway, so kill me all you want!” Brent screamed through gritted teeth.
“It’s not like killing you guys will do me any good anyways. As long as you’re willing to talk, I’ll let you all
live to see another day.” Dustin said.
“I’ll die either way if I reveal anything!” Brent replied solemnly.
“You’re referring to the spider venom in your stomach, right?” Dustin asked with raised eyebrows. He
then pulled out a golden needle and stabbed it directly into Brent’s abdomen,
Immediately, a bulge was seen on Brent’s abdomen. The bulge began moving violently as if something
inside him was fighting for their lives.
A few exhalester, the writhing stopped, and the bulge could no longer be seen moving.
When Dustin pulled out the golden needle, it was now stained with a sliver of ckish liquid.
“The venom is gone. You should be able to speak now,” Dustin said tly.
“H–how did you do that?” Brent gasped, and his expression Immedtely turned into one that was
fearful and
horrified.
That was because the Four Scoundrels had actually been controlled by someone who led them venom
all this time. The mere thought of resistance could inflict pain that was worse than death on the host.
They had tried various ways to get rid of the venom, but not only did none of them have the slightest
effect,
they even aggravated the pain.
However, the person in front of him had gotten rid of the spider venom in his body with a mere needle.
These kinds of miraculous means were simply unheard of!
“I’m skilled in the art of poisons and venom, so if you wish to regain your freedom, you need to be
honest and
tell me everything.” Dustin stated indifferently.
After hesitating for a long while. Brent finallypromised, saying, “Fine, I’ll tell you the truth, but you
must
promise to spare the both of us,”
Which sensible human would choose death over life?
“Done.” Dustin nodded his head.
“To be honest with you, the person who ordered us to kidnap you was- Before Brent could finish his
sentence, the doors to the room were forcefully kicked open.
Xavier rushed hastily inside the room with a group of elite guards. He scanned the room and quickly
found
Brent.
“It’s the Four Scoundrels again! Prepare to die!” Without waiting for the crowd to react. Xavier bashed
Brent’s
skull in with his fists.
He was swift and brutal. Now, his hands were drenched in blood.
“Huh?” Dustin narrowed his eyes.
Did Xavier just kill him to silence him?
“She! udia! Are you guys alright?” Right after killing Brent. Xavier immediately turned around and
asked She and udia while wiping the blood off his hands.
“We’re fine. It was a good thing Dustin came to our aid just now.” She forced a smile.
“Dustin?” Xavier asked as he suddenly turned his head to look at the man.
“What are you doing here? Xavier asked with a condescending gaze.
“What a coincidence.” Dustin replied indifferently.
“What do you mean, ‘what a coincidence? You were there thest time She got ambushed, and
you’re here yet again, so how can this be a coincidence?” Xavier scoffed, ring down at Dustin.
“Your point exactly?” Dustin shot back.
“I suspect that you colluded with the Four Scoundrels toe up with a n to get close to She!”
Xavier
used.
“I can assure you it’s not like that- She spoke up before being interrupted by Xavier again.
“Don’t be fooled, She! We don’t know where this guy is from or what his intentions are. Thus, he
must be interrogated thoroughly for your safety. Apprehend this man for me at oncel”
At hismand, the group of elite guards proceeded to cock their guns.
“Stop! I was the one who brought Dustin here, so I can guarantee that he isn’t a bad guy!” Ruth
stepped
forward, attempting to mediate the situation.
“Whether he’s a bad guy or not, we’ll know once we catch him!” Xavier retorted.
“Hey, do you still have any sense left in that brain of yours? Can’t you see that you’re being cruel by
apprehending an innocent person?” Ruth was getting annoyed with Xavier’s stubbornness.
“Who are you to talk sense to me? Get lost!” Xavier screamed before lifting his hand to give Ruth a
hard p across her face, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground.
Everyone could see five visible, bright red fingerprints on her face.
“Huh?” Dustin gasped as his expression sank. His eyes shed with anger.
“Are you crazy, Xavier? Why did you hit my friend?!” She scolded Xavier while helping Ruth up.
“I was thinking about your safety, She. I refuse to spare anyone who acts even remotely suspicious!
Even if I have to be a viin today, I’ll make sure to get rid of every threat to you! Arrest that punk! Kill
him on the spot if he dares to put up a fight!”
At Xavier’s order, all the elite guards attacked Dustin at once.
Dustin merely let out a cold snort and started gesturing with his hands. “Phew! Phew! Phew!”
Golden needles shot out from his hands and urately navigated their way to the various acupuncture
points on the bodies of the guards.
In no time at all all of the guards seemed to be bound by a spell of some sort, as they stood frozen in
ce,
unable to move.
“Do you want to die?!” Xavier shrieked as a scowl appeared on his face. He then immediately fished
out his gun and fired at Dustin’s chest.
However, with a mere flick of a finger, Dustin swiftly sent two needles flying into the air. One needle
landed on
Xavier’s shoulder, and anothernded on his neck.
His body instantly stiffened as his arms and legs became paralyzed, and this made it difficult for him to
move
a bit.
“W–what kind of sorcery is this?” Xavier cried, his face full of shock.
He was one of the top martial artists out there, so how could he be rendered immobile by two tiny
golden needles just like that?
“Not only are you not that skilled or powerful, you still have the audacity to show up here and start
hurling insults and beating the shit out of people? Dustin asked with an icy stare as he slowly
approached him.
“Rhys! You’d better let go of me if you know what’s good for you, if not, I’ll make sure that you never
leave here alive!” Xavier sneered fiercely.
“You dare threaten me? This is for speaking out of turn!” Dustin scoffed as he lifted a hand to p
Xavier’s face.
He then gave him another p. “This is for cursing me!”

After that, he gave him a harsh third p. “This is for your audacity to eveny a linger on a woman!”
The pping continued non–stop for a while. Dustin showed no mercy as he kept delivering blow after
blow
onto Xavier’s face. He delivered a p after every sentence he uttered.
The atmosphere in the room became tenser and tenser by the second.
“And this is for your stupid fucking face!” Dustin roared as he delivered the most powerful p he could
muster, smashing Xavier to the ground.
Everyone in the whole room became dead silent for a moment!
