Chapter 794 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Dustin and the others left the martial arts alliance branch after the test. Scarlet suddenly received a call that darkened her face on their way back.
âGot it. Iâll return as soon as possible.â Scarlet hung up after the brief conversation. âWhatâs wrong, kid?â Dustin was curious.
âThe call was from Oakvale. Someone accused me of gathering troops and planning a rebellion. They are demanding an explanation,â Scarlet replied calmly.
âA rebellion? What a load of crap!â Georgia was pissed.
âMadam, you suffered so much to protect our country at the borders while those trash at Oakvale did nothing. How dare they accuse you!â
âThose little shits! They deserve to die!â Even the usually quiet Bridget couldnât help cursing.
Being accused of rebelling was a major crime. Even if they were innocent, others would still make assumptions.
âGiven your status, many eyes will be on you, and everything you do will be watched. Others will distort and exaggerate the truth if you make sudden moves.â Dustin shook his head.
He knew something like this would happen sooner or later. After all, great power came with great drawbacks.
As Dragonmarshâs Goddes of War, Scarlet commanded an army of over 300 thousand men. She was a queen without a crown. It was unavoidable for someone with such military authority and an influential background to incur othersâ envy.
âI have to head back first, Logan. I need to eliminate some flies, or things will worsen,â Scarlet told Dustin.
âSure.â Dustin nodded.
A slight misstep now could quickly escalate the issue.
They arrived at Flame Dragon Dojo ten minutes later.
Scarlet sadly watched Dustin leave the car and said, âGive me a few days, and Iâll be back.â
âGot it.â Dustin smiled. He waved and watched them leave.
With the Spanner familyâs current influence, he was sure Scarlet could quickly take care of any issue.
âHey!â Someone suddenly patted Dustin on the shoulder, so he turned around.
It turned out that Abigail and Nelson had stood behind him some time ago.
âWhoâs that chick? Iâve never seen her before. Donât tell me sheâs your new girl?â Abigail teased with a grin.
âStop spouting nonsense. Thatâs my sister.â Dustin shot her a glare.
âAre you serious?â Abigail gave him a doubtful look.
âYou seem to have a lot of spare time on your hands. Howâs your staff combat technique coming along?â Dustin asked.
âIâve already reached the third level!â Abigail announced proudly.
âThe third level? Pfft! Thatâs barely anything. You should spend more time practicing. Keep practicing another 1000 times,â Dustin instructed.
âWhat?â Abigailâs smile froze.
1000 times? Thereâs no way sheâd finish before sundown.
Ugh, why did she have to have such a horrible mentor?
âNelson, howâs the group from Azkaban holding up?â Dustin turned his attention to Nelson.
âAs you instructed, Iâve provided them with food, shelter, and money. But they refuse to leave and insist on joining the Kirin Gang to help you,â Nelson replied.
Those from Azkaban were talented fighters who were hard to come by, especially Cornelius.
There was much more to the older man than meets the eye, and he could easily take on the strongest fighters in Kirin Gang.
