CHAPTER 30
"What... what kind of forbidden domain is this?!" Raymond wheezed out in pure, suffocating horror, his fingers clawing at the cracked floorboards. He tried desperately to circulate his Eighth Meridian energy, but his spiritual core felt like it was buried under ten thousand tons of cold iron. "There is no Qi... there is no spell... how can you crush twenty warriors with your bare thoughts?!"Dustin took two slow, relaxed steps forward, his clean boots stepping right over the broken pieces of Raymond’s golden staff. He stopped right before the kneeling elder, looking down with cold, mocking eyes that made the old man’s soul tremble with primitive dread. Dustin did not raise a hand, and he did not show a single thread of strain on his handsome face."You spent eighty years practicing your silly magic sticks, Raymond, yet you do not even understand the weight of the air you breathe," Dustin said in a cool, level voice. He casually tucked his hands back into his coat pockets, looking down
CHAPTER 29
The thin beam of blue light shot straight through the high stone ceiling of the bank vault, cutting through the thick rock like a hot needle through silk. A quiet, musical hum filled the air as the bright blue beam climbed into the afternoon sky, piercing the clouds above the capital city. Dustin Vance stood motionless in the center of the cold room, his fingers tightening around the small purple crystal resting in his palm.Lady Vivienne stepped up beside him, her silver dress rustling against the clean marble floor as she looked up at the glowing hole in the ceiling. Her breath came out in a soft gasp, her silver eyes reflecting the brilliant blue light dancing across the room. She turned her head toward Dustin, noticing the strange, distant look in his dark eyes that she had never seen before."Dustin, what is that bright light doing?" Vivienne asked in a gentle, worried whisper, placing her slender hand softly against his coat sleeve. "The monster is completely gone, yet this litt
CHAPTER 28
The heavy golden doors of the inner vault began to turn a sick shade of dark purple. The warm air in the stone hall dropped so fast that white frost spread across the marble floor tiles. Dustin Vance reached out his right arm, gently pulling Lady Vivienne behind him as the ancient metal started to groan."Dustin, what is that awful coldness coming through the cracks?" Vivienne asked, her breath turning to white mist in the chilly air. Her silver sword hummed with a quiet vibration, reacting to the dark presence locked behind the wall. She looked up at his calm face, seeing his dark eyes turn sharp and completely focused.The Chief Justice fell back against the stone wall, clutching his chest as his knees shook with pure terror. "That door was sealed by the founding Emperor with three sacred blood locks!" the old judge cried out in a trembling voice. "Nothing in this mortal world should be able to shake those ten feet of solid imperial gold!"A low, wet scratching sound echoed from the
CHAPTER 27
The black gunship landed smoothly on the wide marble steps of the Imperial Central Bank. The massive building was made of white stone and gold pillars, but thick gray smoke was already pouring from its lower drainage grates. Thousands of city guards stood outside with drawn swords, keeping back a frantic crowd of merchants who wanted their gold back.Lady Vivienne hopped down from the ramp, her silver sword clicking against her hip as she looked at the shaking pillars. Dustin walked beside her, his hands tucked into his dark coat pockets with zero fear in his eyes. Behind them, the Chief Justice hurried down the steps, wiping nervous sweat from his wrinkled forehead with a trembling sleeve."The vault doors sit four hundred feet beneath the street, Grand Duke Dustin," the Chief Justice gasped in a hurried voice. "The seal was placed there by the first Emperor, but the black liquid is already bubbling through the floorboards. The high bankers and the royal seal masters are arguing like
CHAPTER 26
The black tactical gunship glided silently through the clear afternoon sky, heading straight toward the gleaming towers of the capital city. Inside the cabin, Lady Vivienne held the glowing green data pad firmly in her hands, her silver eyes burning with pure disgust. Dustin Vance sat calmly at the controls, his handsome face like carved stone as he guided the aircraft down through the clouds."Nathan Sterling has sat in the Ministry of Trade for twelve long years," Vivienne said, her voice shaking with quiet fury. "Every merchant in the city pays him taxes, and my family always suspected he was stealing from the western routes. To think that snake was secretly talking to the stars while his brother begged in the streets.""A greedy rat will always look for a bigger hole to hide his stolen cheese," Dustin replied in an easy, steady tone. "Julian thought he was clever by draining my labor, but his brother was selling out the entire world from behind a golden desk. Today, we are going t
CHAPTER 25
The red alarm lights on the front glass screen flashed fast, painting Dustin's calm face in sharp crimson shadows. The small digital map zoomed in on the thick green trees of the Royal Ancestral Forest, showing a smoking crater five miles beyond the city walls. A bright red timer ticked downward with cold speed, showing fifty-nine minutes and counting until the planet-level core detonated.The High Emperor rushed to the front glass, his golden robes shaking as his eyes widened in fresh terror. "The Royal Ancestral Forest holds the tombs of seven generations of imperial kings," the Emperor gasped with a dry throat. "If that foreign bomb explodes in the valley, the entire western land will be ripped apart into empty black space."Princess Kaelen grabbed Dustin's coat sleeve with both hands, tears welling up in her large, frightened eyes. "Big Brother Dustin, can the foreign monsters really destroy our whole world with that little box?" she asked in a trembling voice. "Please do not let
