Dustin and the others left the martial arts alliance branch after the test. Scarlet suddenly received a call that darkened favonovel.com face on their way back.
“Got it… I’ll return as soon as possible.” Scarlet hung up after the brief conversation.
“What’s wrong, kid?” Dustin was curious.
“The call was from Oakvale. Someone accused me of gathering troops and planning a rebellion. They are demanding an explanation,” Scarlet replied calmly.
“A rebellion? What a load of crap!” Georgia was pissed.
“Madam, you suffered so much to protect our country at the borders while those trash at Oakvale did nothing. How dare they accuse you!”
“Those little sh*ts! They deserve to die!” Even the usually quiet Bridget couldn’t help cursing.
Being accused of rebelling was a major crime. Even if they were innocent, others would still make assumptions.
“Given 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…” Dustin shook his head.
He knew something like this would happen sooner or later. After all, great power came with great drawbacks.
As Dragonmarsh’s 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 others’ envy.
“I have to head back first, Logan. I need to eliminate some flies, or things will worsen,” Scarlet told Dustin.
“Sure…” 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, “Give me a few days, and I’ll be back!”
“Got it.” Dustin smiled. He waved and watched them leave.
With the Spanner family’s current influence, favonovel.com was sure Scarlet could quickly take care of any issue.
“Hey!” Someone suddenly patted Dustin on the shoulder, so favonovel.com turned around.
It turned out that Abigail and Nelson had stood behind favonovel.com some time ago.
“Who’s that chick? I’ve never seen favonovel.com before. Don’t tell me she’s your new girl?” Abigail teased with a grin.
“Stop spouting nonsense. That’s my sister.” Dustin shot favonovel.com a glare.
“Are you serious?” Abigail gave favonovel.com a doubtful look.
“You seem to have a lot of spare time on your hands. How’s your staff combat technique coming along?” Dustin asked.
“I’ve already reached the third level!” Abigail announced proudly.
“The third level? Pfft! That’s barely anything. You should spend more time practicing. Keep practicing another 1000 times,” Dustin instructed.
“What?” Abigail’s smile froze.
1000 times?
There’s no way I would finish before sundown.
Ugh, why did I have to have such a horrible mentor?
“Nelson, how’s the group from Azkaban holding up?” Dustin turned his attention to Nelson.
“As you instructed, I’ve provided them with food, shelter, and money. But they refuse to leave and insist on joining the Kirin Gang to help you,” 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 favonovel.com could easily take on the strongest fighters in Kirin Gang.
