Chapter 943 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
The crowd began whispering when they heard what Dustin said. Some of them were shocked, while others had their doubts. But most of them did not believe him.
âNonsense! My father had been upright and honest his whole life!
âHow could he have done such a horrible thing?â Torben bellowed.
âIâm warning you, Dustin! You better not spout such nonsense around!â
Springâs expression was dark. âYou murdered my father, and now youâre dragging my brother through the mud! What malicious intentions you have!â
âLet Autumn tell you what heâs done. Then youâll know if Iâm slandering him.â
Dustin pulled out the wad of cloth shoved in Autumnâs mouth. Then, he kicked him.
âGo on, tell them what happened last night.â
âSpring! Save me! Quick!â Autumn immediately began yelling once he opened his mouth.
âThis scoundrel captured me and started torturing me. He even threatened to wipe out my entire family if I did not take the blame for him! Spring, you have to save me!â
âYou liar! How dare you tell lies!â
Cornelius fumed. He was just about to slap Autumn when Dustin stopped him.
Things would look bad if they were to get aggressive under such circumstances.
âDustin! You impertinent scoundrel! Release my brother at once!â Spring ordered.
âRelease him! Or Iâll burn down this god damned lodge!â Torben echoed angrily.
âRelease him! Release him! Release him!â
The crowd began chanting and clamoring. They looked furious.
Not only had Dustin killed Sir Paul, he even captured Autumn to be his scapegoat. Such horrible
behavior was dreadful!
âKarma! This is karma indeed!â The Jade Maiden Sisterhood were pleased at the sight they saw.
They were out of breath from laughing in delight.
The more trouble Dustin was in, the happier they were. At this point, Dustin did not seem to have any way of turning back anymore.
So what if he was a grandmaster? He had no way out with so many leaders of the major sects
present.
âHahaha! Havenât I warned you, Dustin?
âIf you work with me, you wonât have to die. Youâll also be able to enjoy unlimited riches.â
Autumn sniggered. âLook at yourself now.
your telivie decisTON!
I ou le me public enemy of the ente mai di Wu! Tis is all talkS
âHow do you feel now? Are you regretting your decision? Do you feel helpless?
âSo what if I was the person who murdered Paul? So what if youâve caught me?
âWould anyone believe what you said? All those people from the martial world are on my side. Whatever I say goes!
âIf I say youâre the murderer, then youâre the murderer. No matter how much you struggle, you wonât be able to change a thing.
âThe youngest grandmaster? The pride of the nation? What a joke!â
Though Dustin had set up a trap and had him captured, he could worm his way out of things if he did not admit to anything.
But for Dustin, try as he might, was making futile attempts. How laughable!
âAre you done laughing yet? Do you think that thereâs nothing I can do to you?â Dustin asked calmly.
âWell, what can you do? You canât possibly kill me, can you?â Autumn scoffed.
All the major sects in Balerno and Glenstead are gathered here. If you dare to touch a hair on my head, youâll be dead meat!â
Then, he stretched out his throat to provoke Dustin and challenge him to kill him.
âSir Reeds, what punishment should be for a man who kills his father?â Dustin asked.
âHe should be punishable by death, of course.â Ronald wondered why Dustin would ask him something like that, but he answered honestly.
âShould the person be killed?â
âYes.â
âAlright then, I shall kill him!â Then, Dustin drew out a sword. Amidst the crowdâs astonished gazes, he sliced off Autumnâs head.
