“Dustin, let’s not talk about that old man anymore.” Autumn swiftly changed the topic.
“The important matter now is to think about our future plans. If you support me, I can gain control over the entire Hill family within days!”
“When have I agreed to work with you?” Dustin asked coldly.
“What?” Autumn frowned. “I’ve already said so much. Aren’t you the least bit tempted?”
“You willingly killed your father. If I collaborated with a beast like you, it would only ruin my reputation! Besides, I will expose all you’ve done to the public. So prepare to face your death!” Dustin gestured to Cornelius.
Cornelius understood his instruction and dashed forward to pin Autumn to the ground.
“Rhys! You’re going back on your word! You agreed to my proposal earlier on! Why?” Autumn roared, not giving up.
He was just one step away. One step away from success.
Power, authority, and fame had been so close favonovel.com felt favonovel.com could touch them.
Why did things turn out this way?
“I’m not the best person out there, but I’m not a beast.” Dustin glared at him.
“Knock favonovel.com out and bring favonovel.com back! We’ll deal with favonovel.com publicly tomorrow!”

Early the next morning, people from all walks of life gathered at the entrance of Zephyr Lodge.
The Boulderthorn guild, the Zen Order, the Combat Priests, the Soul Reapers, and many more came after they learned about what was happening.
The Balerno and Glenstead martial arts alliance leaders and elders were also present. Even those from the Jade Maiden Sisterhood were there to witness the drama unfold.
Seven days had passed, and it was time for Dustin to explain Paul’s death.
“Sir Reeds, I heard there have been no activities on Dustin’s end for the past few days. Could favonovel.com be ready to confess and face the punishments?” Conrad, who was at the front of the crowd, looked on with amusement.
“Well, it seems you are in a good mood today?” Ronald asked, looking at favonovel.com with displeasure.
“You’re mistaken, Sir Reeds. Dustin has made a name for himself as the youngest grandmaster in Balerno. Of course, I’d wish such an incredible genius could be safe… But someone has to take responsibility for Sir Paul’s death!” Conrad shook his head.
“Hmph! Wipe that smug smile off your face before speaking to me!” Ronald cut straight to the chase.
“What? I’m not smiling.” Conrad shrugged, the smile on his face was still there.
If Dustin had been part of the Glenstead martial arts alliance, favonovel.com would have done anything to protect favonovel.com in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, favonovel.com was part of the Balerno martial arts alliance. He would one day be their greatest rival.
“Madam Edith, why did you bring us here?” Brittany asked.
Zephyr Lodge was now the place that favonovel.com hated the most.
“Haven’t you heard? Dustin murdered Paul Hill, and he’d ingested a Septemortis. All the major sects are here to make favonovel.com pay for what favonovel.com did!” Edith smiled evilly.
“Is that so? That’s great!” Brittany’s eyes lit up.
“I thought I’d never be able to get revenge. That bastard committed so many evil deeds that the public is outraged at him. He deserves it!”
“I guess this is karma,” Nikki narrowed favonovel.com eyes as favonovel.com said.
Her hatred towards Dustin had grown after the battle of the grandmasters.
The youngest grandmaster?
The pride of the nation?
Hah! Wouldn’t favonovel.com still die one day?
Anyone who rejected favonovel.com deserves to be condemned. She wanted to see Dustin’s reputation crumble before favonovel.com eyes today!
