Vlad was shocked and hastily backed away.Suddenly, shots rang out, but they missed Dustin and only hit his afterimage."Stop him, quick!" Vlad turned pale and tried to run. He couldn't believe that this lunatic wasn't even afraid of bullets."What are you waiting for? Go help him!" Kate quickly instructed a group of guards to move in."Get back here!" Dustin dashed forward. He grabbed Vlad's head and slammed his head on the ground.The gunshots stopped immediately, for fear they might accidentally hit Vlad. Even the strong guards hesitated, not wanting to act impulsively."Dustin, I warn you not to do anything reckless. If you hurt Vlad, there will be serious consequences!" Kate shouted firmly."Bastard! Stop this now!" the Grant family members and relatives shouted angrily.At that moment, they all sensed that Dustin was desperate to do something. But they held back because they were afraid of causing unwanted harm."Hey, brat, be careful. If you hurt me, your whole family w

What was happening? Dustin, a brave but reckless man, had openly defied the Grant family's authority. Not only that, he had also brought a gang with him to cause chaos and lawlessness in the Grant mansion."Listen up, Grants! Let Ms. Harmon go immediately, or we'll fight fiercely today!" Cornelius led a group of Kirin gang members and bravely confronted the Grant family's forces."Fight fiercely? Are you even up to the task?" Tyler looked at him disdainfully. To him, the Kirin gang was just a bunch of nobodies. Once his men got there, they could take them down easily."Dustin, you're too idealistic. Do you think you can challenge us with these petty gangsters? That's just wishful thinking!" Kate scoffed.The Kirin gang was impressive. Still, compared to the Grant family, they were insignificant and would easily crumble."If the Kirin gang can't handle this, what about teaming up with the Stoneray Order?"Suddenly, a loud voice echoed at the entrance.Then, a dignified elderl

An elderly man, who radiated authority and seriousness, arrived, causing a sudden tension in the atmosphere."It's General Murray! General Murray is here!""What's going on today? Why is General Murray coming here? He usually keeps a low profile.""Oh dear, it seems trouble has found its way to the Grant family!"George's arrival was already quite surprising, but Christopher's appearance was even more astonishing. Christopher was a highly respected Grand General and protector of the kingdom. He had achieved remarkable feats and held a revered position. With his life devoted to warfare, his many followers, and his unmatched power, connections, and influence, he stood as the foremost figure in Balerno. He even cast a shadow over George, the viceroy of the Southern province."Kid, I'm here to support you today. Let's see who dares to act recklessly!" Christopher wasted no time and openly declared his support for Dustin.This unexpected move stunned everyone. Whispers filled th

The Grant family had been a powerful force for generations. Their strength came from their accumulated influence over the years. Arthur, the former family patriarch, was a brilliant strategist.In the past, during power struggles, he made wise decisions to form alliances. He rose in the political world, became a significant figure within the family, and earned the title of Earl of Loyalty and Valor.Arthur's authority and military capabilities were comparable to Christopher's and even exceeded him in certain aspects. The only difference was that Christopher achieved his position through battles, while Arthur excelled in politics. Regardless of their paths, they were both remarkable men."Haha! This is great! Sir Arthur is here!""With Sir Arthur here, no one will ever challenge our family again."The arrival of Arthur brought joy to the Grant family, filling them with a renewed sense of relief. They found their source of strength and put their worries to rest."Kate! There is h

Zachary flashed a sly grin. "Some argue that military strategy and martial arts are two different things. I'm curious if you are the master of combat, or is it my martial arts that will shine?"His words excited the onlookers as they sensed a challenge brewing.It was clear that a duel was going to happen. Christopher was best in strategy and tactics, while Zachary had few rivals in martial arts within the Balerno.Zachary had publicly challenged Christopher, and declining it would ruin Christopher's reputation."Zachary, you're not qualified to take on General Murray. Allow me to take the challenge instead!"Suddenly, a stern and authoritative female voice broke the tension.All eyes turned toward a striking woman in red armor with short silver hair and an intimidating aura. She was carrying a three-foot viridescent sword and radiated a commanding presence."Wow! Look who's here, the Scarlet Warrior!""Gosh, am I imagining things?
