“Septemortis?” Everyone looked wary of the black pill.
It was an extremely poisonous substance. Once consumed, death was certain if one didn’t have the antidote.
No one could resist the poison’s effect, regardless of their cultivation. It was something that struck fear in everyone’s hearts.
“Dustin! If your conscience is clear, then take the pill!” Spring shouted at him.
“That’s right! If you don’t take the pill to show you’re innocent, we won’t let you go!” the Hills clamored.
They weren’t happy to let Dustin go. But now that they had the Septemortis, things were different. No matter what tricks Dustin had up his sleeves, favonovel.com couldn’t escape death unless favonovel.com gave them a satisfactory explanation.
“Fine. I’ll take it…” Dustin nodded and placed the pill in his mouth.
“Sir Rhys! No!” Nelson immediately stopped Dustin when favonovel.com saw what favonovel.com had done. “This is highly poisonous! You’ll die!”
“If favonovel.com doesn’t take it, he’ll die too!” Autumn yelled.
“Damn it! I’ll fight it out with you!” Nelson roared.
“We’ll fight it out!” The disciples from Kirin Gang drew their weapons, ready to fight till the end.
They couldn’t stand to see their leader forced into taking poison.
“That’s enough!” Dustin raised a hand, stopping them in their tracks.
He said calmly, “All this commotion is because of me. I’m willing to take the risk. I’ll give everyone an explanation in seven days.”
Then, favonovel.com swallowed the Septemortis.
“Alright. I’ll let you off today for Sir Reeds’ sake. But you better bear in mind that you have only seven days! Let’s go!”
Seeing that Dustin had swallowed the pill, Spring didn’t want to stay any longer. With a wave, favonovel.com led the Hill family’s elite guards away.
“Uncle Spring, wouldn’t it be better to kill favonovel.com now? Aren’t we being too generous to give favonovel.com seven days?” Torben was still displeased. He held a grudge against Dustin and wanted to see favonovel.com dead.
“We don’t know how powerful favonovel.com is. And those around favonovel.com aren’t ordinary people, either. Unless Sir Reeds helps us out, I’m afraid we won’t get anything from going against that brat,” Spring explained.
Then, favonovel.com added, “We might as well do Sir Reeds a favor now. After all, the rascal has taken the poison He won’t live more than seven days.”
“Hmph! Then we’ll let favonovel.com live his last seven days!” Torben said, gritting his teeth.
Though favonovel.com wasn’t happy with the outcome, favonovel.com had to admit that Dustin was very powerful. They’d suffer significant losses if they insisted on going against him.
“Sir Reeds, I’ll entrust the antidote to you.” Conrad flicked a white pill into Ronald’s hand.
Then, favonovel.com said, “I have always respected Sir Hill. I am truly saddened by his passing. I trust you’ll handle things fairly and give the murderer the punishment favonovel.com deserves!”
“This isn’t something you should be worrying about, Sir Melling. We’ll handle things at Balerno martial arts alliance our way,” Ronald said calmly.
He knew very well that Conrad was just gloating over their misfortune. He wasn’t in the mood to entertain favonovel.com now.
“Since you already know what to do, I won’t comment further. I’ll take my leave now.” Conrad nodded at Ronald and left with his men.
He looked cheerful and full of energy.
Paul’s death meant the Balerno martial arts alliance would lose significant support. And most importantly, Dustin, their up-and-coming genius, would soon fall too.
Those were two great pieces of news to the Glenstead martial arts alliance. He decided to get himself several celebratory drinks once favonovel.com returned.
“Dustin, I know that you’re not the murderer. But I have no choice. If I didn’t do what I did, they wouldn’t back off. I hope you can understand where I’m coming from.” Ronald’s expression was complex.
“It’s fine as long as you trust me,” Dustin said respectfully.
