Chapter 175
The Cain family villa fell into complete silence.
Dustin and Metal Mask's combat was brutal and intense. It shook the very foundation of everyone present. When Metal Mask was sent flying by Dustin's ferocious strike, the crowd could not help but shudder.
If that punch had landed on one of them, they would have been torn apart on the spot.
Metal Mask lay motionless after being hurled into the rubble.
Dustin's face was cold as he sprinted out of the Cain family villa.
He swept his palm across the debris that buried Metal Mask and scattered them with ease, only to find the space underneath empty.
"I just lifted the suppression and didn't manage to control my strength... I let him escape," he muttered in displeasure.
Metal Mask was clearly connected to the assassins who had slaughtered the Aquila family, and this particular assassin was above sovereign grade. He was undoubtedly a key figure. If he had been captured and interrogated, Dustín could have uncovered some valuable information.
He had not expected the opponent to flee so quickly after realizing he was outmatched.
"They will surely come again, Dustin thought to himself. He knew all too well that the organization was powerful and relentless to give up so easily. This was not the end. There would be more opportunities in the future.
After a brief pause, he turned back toward the courtyard.
When he entered it, the elite martial artists looked at him in hostility. Their gazes were judgmental.
"You've got some nerve coming back here! Why didn't you run while you had the chance?" said a person accusingly and sneered.
They had assumed he would flee.
"Didn't you want to judge me?" Dustin's voice carried a sharp, mocking edge. "What more tricks do you Bring them on."
He looked at Victor.
have?
"Strongest fighter in Lannopolis, huh? Weren't you going to make a move? Come on then!"
Victor's face turned pale.
"This brat's arrogance knows no bounds! Teach him a lesson, Mr. Cain!" someone roared.
“Exactly! If he isn't punished, all martial artists in Lannopolis will be humiliated!"
"He's a criminal with blood on his hands! Justice demands his downfall! Mr. Cain, please punish him!" The elite martial artists clamored for blood and demanded Victor to crush Dustin and his arrogance.
Victor's face darkened with each word.

In his mind, he was cursing these righteous, so-called elites.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Had they not seen how terrifying that battle had been?
His villa had almost been flattened by those two!
These martial artists were all below sovereign grade, so they lacked the ability to comprehend the overwhelming power that had been displayed in the battle. But Victor could see it all too clearly.
Those two fighters were leagues beyond anyone he had ever encountered. He could dominate Lannopolis with his martial arts, but they were meaningless in comparison to the strength of these two.
That single punch Dustin had used to send Metal Mask flying.....
If it had struck Victor, he would have been already dead.
He stood there in silence with a stony face.
"Mr. Cain, you are a paragon of virtue and strength. You're a pillar of righteousness in Lannopolis. If you stand by and do nothing, the vengeful spirits of the Aquila family will never find peace!" Bianca cried with a voice heavy with grief.
Her words were an attempt to spur Victor into action. She was trying to veil her manipulation under the guise of justice.
Victor glared at Bianca, which made her tremble in fear.
He then turned to Dustin.
“The massacre of the Aquila family is no trivial matter,” he said gravely. “We must uncover the truth. No innocent person shall be wronged, nor shall any criminal be spared."
The crowd murmured in agreement.
"Dustin," Victor continued, "the evidence points to you as the perpetrator of the Aquila family massacre. But surely you had your reasons. Speak. Tell me why you did what you did."
The crowd froze in shock.
Was he... giving Dustin a chance to defend himself?
It seemed reasonable, yet something about it felt oddly out of place.
Dustin smirked softly, and his mocking gaze locked onto Victor.
