Chapter 136

“Whoosh!” A strong gust of wind hit Troy’s face, contorting his features in pain as he felt a bone dislocate. His eyes were fixed on Dustin’s fist, which stopped inches from his chest. Though a few inches away, the intimidating force made him tremble with fear.

“Blargh!” Blood spurted from his mouth.

Dustin’s Fist Energy alone had the power to dislocate Troy’s bones. The thought of what would have happened if the fist had landed was terrifying. He was lucky to have knelt in time; otherwise, he would have been knocked unconscious.

“Spare me! Please!” Troy, now on his knees, his face drained of color, begged frantically. His earlier confidence was gone, replaced by fear and desperation. Terror, not shock, overwhelmed him. His power had shattered like glass the moment their fists met, leaving him defenseless against his opponent's superior force.

He felt excruciating pain in every bone. This only happened with a significant skill disparity. That's why, when Dustin moved again, Troy begged for mercy. Begging was a small price to pay for his life.

“Don’t appear in front of me again!” Dustin said coldly.

“Yes, right away!” Troy fled the room without hesitation, abandoning all dignity.

“Um.” Everyone watched, dumbfounded, as Troy escaped. The top-tier warrior, the Boulderthorn elite disciple known as Lightning Fist, had fled battle?

Everyone’s jaws dropped. No one predicted this outcome. They’d believed Troy's arrival would resolve the situation, but the tables had turned completely. Had they not witnessed it, they wouldn't believe it: a legendary warrior, undefeated in battle, had fled in terror!

“How… how is this possible?!” Oliver’s eyes widened in disbelief. That was his senior, Troy Chapman!

Chapter

As a Boulderthorn disciple, Troy was a master of inner energy, with unmatched skills and extreme talent. Oliver couldn’t comprehend what had happened. Troy hadn't even hesitated to kneel and beg for mercy!

“What the hell is going on?!” Oliver wondered.

“T-There’s no way! It’s impossible!” Tina shook her head in shock. That was Boulderthorn's top disciple. How could he be defeated by a nobody? She wasn't alone in thinking this; everyone in the room felt the same. But the truth was undeniable.

“Did you say you’d stand up for her, too?” Dustin’s gaze landed on Oliver.

“Punk! You’re lucky my senior’s injury recurred today; otherwise, you wouldn’t have escaped so easily! Next time, you won’t be so lucky!” Oliver fled. If Troy was no match for Dustin, he was an easy target.

“Mr. Williams! Mr. Williams!” Tina yelled, but Oliver ran faster, disappearing without a trace. She froze.

“As I’ve said, I’ll pay you back tenfold for the damage you did!” A cold voice echoed.

Tina turned to see Dustin standing behind her.

“I’m warning you! Don’t mess with me! I’m Edwin Hummer’s daughter! If you dare to lay a finger on me, you and your entire family, even your relatives, will suffer the consequences of crossing the Hummers!” Tina shouted desperately.

“Sure, I’ll play this game with the Hummers. But before that, I will need to get my revenge first!” Dustin grabbed Tina.

A horrific, ear-piercing scream echoed through the hotel, repeated every few seconds. When Julie arrived, soaked, she saw Tina being tortured. She was frozen in shock. When Dustin left the hospital, she sensed something was wrong and followed him. She never imagined he'd be so brave as to confront Ms. Hummer in public.

Tina was unrecognizable; all four limbs were detached. The gory, bloody scene was extremely unsettling.

“Stop! Stop this instant! Dustin! Are you out of your mind? Hurry up and let go of Ms. Hummer!” Julie yelled, running toward them.

Dustin ignored her, looking down at the dying Tina.

“I won’t kill you tonight, but that doesn’t mean I forgive you. In three days, kneel down and apologize to Dahlia! Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences!”

He then pressed two fingers into Tina’s pressure points all over her body. It was a deadly technique of his own design; the victim would slowly die in three days, and only he could break the curse.

“Crazy bastard! You’re a maniac! Now that you’ve hurt Ms. Hummer, you’re not the only one who will suffer! We’re all doomed because of you!” Julie yelled at the departing Dustin, but he ignored her and kept walking. The crowd parted for him.

“Hurry! Secure the premise!” A shout came from outside.

A horde of fighters stormed in, surrounding the room.

“Who dared to cause trouble at my place?!” A man with dark sunglasses and a smoldering cigar entered, exuding a menacing aura.

“This is great! Sir Zims is finally here! We can finally have the scene under control!”

“Sir Zims is the Hummer family’s trusted right-hand man. He definitely wouldn’t let him off for beating Ms. Hummer to a pulp!”

“Although he’s quite skilled, he only has two fists! He wouldn’t be able to take on hundreds of men no matter how skilled he is!”

The crowd cheered as reinforcements arrived.

“Sir Zims! You’re just in time! Dustin not only caused trouble, but he also beat up Ms. Hummer!” Julie reported.

“What? He dared to hit Ms. Hummer? Which bastard did this? If you have the guts, come forward! Let’s see if I can tear you apart myself!” Mason’s gaze narrowed, his anger boiling.

“It was me.” Dustin approached slowly.

“You–”

Before Mason could strike, his expression changed completely. “M-Mr. Rhys? It’s you?!”

Dustin said simply, “Scram!”

“Yes, Sir!” Mason stepped aside. Silence fell over the room.
