Chapter 152

"Mr. Fox, thank you for defeating the West family's enemy!" Connor, along with the rest of the family, bowed deeply to Dustin. Their respect was evident. Even Clark, who had previously clashed with Dustin, bowed in fear.

Who would have thought Dustin was so powerful? If Dustin chose to settle scores with him, Clark knew he wouldn't stand a chance.

"Enough," Dustin said impatiently. "I want the Fox family's martial arts manual." His tone implied force would be used if it wasn't handed over.

Connor looked troubled. "Only my father knows its location. Don't worry, Mr. Fox. I'll ask him as soon as he wakes," he said, bowing again.

"You killed Samuel, but the danger isn't over," Connor continued. "You may not know this, but a branch of the Five Venoms Sect is hidden in Lannopolis. Samuel was a key member… They'll definitely avenge him. The next twenty-four hours are crucial. We must remain vigilant; retaliation is imminent. We could even be poisoned without realizing it." Dustin frowned.

"Are there any other unknown threats besides the Five Venoms Sect branch?" he asked.

"Not currently," Connor replied.

"Good. After I destroy the Five Venoms Sect's branch in Lannopolis, I expect to see the Fox family's martial arts manual. Failure to comply will result in my wrath," Dustin stated flatly.

The West family was shocked. Was he really going to destroy the branch? They paled.

"Mr. Fox, that branch is a lion's den! You can't go alone!" Connor exclaimed. "You may not have feared Samuel, but this branch is immensely powerful. They're all masters, and the place is riddled with traps and poisons. It won't be easy."

They'd mentioned the branch to warn Dustin and buy time, not expecting his drastic response.

"Enough," Dustin said, gesturing. His Hell Guard immediately sprang into action. Within minutes, a throwing dagger carrying information about the branch's location arrived.

Dustin stood. "Mr. Fox, please reconsider!" the West family pleaded, terrified.

Ignoring them, Dustin left. Connor's face reflected a complex mix of emotions.

"Mr. Fox saved the West family. We can't let him face this alone!" he said grimly. "Clark, we're going with him." He dragged a reluctant Clark into the car.

They followed Dustin, astonished by his incredible speed.

"Can a human run that fast?" Clark gasped, incredulous. They floored the accelerator, reaching nearly ninety miles per hour, yet barely kept him in sight.

Finally, Dustin slowed near a cave on the city outskirts. It appeared inhabited. Deeper inside, they found bright lights—the Five Venoms Sect's secret hideout.

Connor wanted to stop Dustin and strategize, but Dustin, ignoring stealth, charged toward the entrance like a bullet.

"Who's there? Stop!" a shout rang out, immediately followed by a silencing thud and a spray of blood.
