Chapter 967 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
The slaps disfigured Kenâs face, leaving him unrecognizable. There was a bigger issue now. Ken was highly regarded as the son of Regalswordsâ guildmaster and was wellâfeared. So, how could Dustin hit him? Was Dustin out of his mind?
âStop right now!â Emily finally stepped in. At this point, Ken had already been reduced to a bloody, unconscious mess. âYouâve gotten us into trouble now, Mr. Rhys!â Emily exclaimed, helping Ken up.
She began administering medication and other techniques to wake him up. It wouldnât be an exaggeration to say that if anything were to happen to Ken, Azure Mist would also be doomed.
âDamn it, we shouldnât have sat with you! You only bring disaster!â Nathan shouted anxiously.
Why the fuck did they have to cross paths with a maniac like Dustin, who didnât give a shit about Kenâs status or Regalswordsâ authority? Dustin must be crazy!
âYouâll be in trouble now that you beat Ken up, so you need to run away.
âHurry, or itâll be too late!â Vanessa was visibly distraught as she tugged at Dustin, who wouldnât budge.
âWho dares hit my son!â A furious voice came from the entrance.
An intimidating middleâaged man stormed in with a group of martial artists following behind.
The man was Ian Shonde, the guildmaster of Regalswords and the strongest martial artist in Lester!
âShit! Ian Shonde is here!â
âNo one is capable of bearing his fury.â
âHmph, itâs time to suffer the consequences for hurting his son!â
The martial artists surrounding Dustin and his group took a step back to avoid being collateral damage.
Many seemed delighted as they waited for Dustin to meet his doom.
âYouâre done for! Thereâs nowhere for you to run anymore eitherâ¦â Vanessa was devastated.
She wanted to help Dustin escape, but it seemed like it wouldnât happen.
âItâs too late now.â Emily sighed regretfully.
There was no way Dustin would escape unscathed now that Ian was here.
âWhat a jinx!â Nathan shook his head bitterly.
Not only did Dustin bring trouble to himself, but those from Azure Mist were also dragged into this mess.
âDad, youâre finally here!â Ken cried out desperately and stumbled over to his father.
He grabbed Ianâs thigh and wailed, âI would have died if you came any later! Just look at what he did to my face! Please avenge me!â
âWho did this?â Ian demanded, furious by how his sonâs face looked.
No one dared to harm his son after knowing who he was. After all, he was the strongest martial artist in Lester and one of the martial arts allianceâs elders.
No one would dare to challenge his authority!
âThatâs the guy who hit me, Dad! He even insulted you and said horrible things about you!â
âWhat? How dare he!â Furious, Ian swept a menacing glance over the room.
His body shuddered involuntarily when he spotted Dustin, and his knees nearly went weak.
Ian couldnât believe the other party was Dustin.
As one of the alliance elders, he vividly remembered how terrifying Dustin was during the recent battle between the two grandmasters.
Why, Ian wouldnât even dare to protest if Dustin slapped him, much less insulted him!
