“Logan, what happened? Who did this to you? I'll make sure to take care of them!” Scarlet rushed forward. Her eyes filled withboth concern and anger as she saw Dustin covered in blood and visibly upset.novelbin
Upon learning about his situation, she promptly led her troops to rush over. Despite facing several obstacles along the way, sheeffortlessly eliminated the threat, even at the cost of some valuable time.
Prepared for any challenge, she was ready to confront opposition, even if it meant going against the nation.“I'm not seriously hurt. Don’t worry, and besides, the person who hurt me is already gone.” Dustin forced a smile.“Logan, you rest properly for now. I'll take you to the hospital right away!” Scarlet remained concerned.
“Kid, no need to trouble yourself. I’m not in immediate danger. Besides, there’s something more important we need to focus on,”Dustin said, redirecting her attention.
“What is it?” she asked curiously.“That sword strike from before, you all saw it, right?” he asked.
“We saw it.” Scarlet’s expression turned serious. “That strike was terrifying, beyond anything | could imagine. | never thoughtthere could be someone so powerful in the world.”
“That was Uncle Seth’s final strike before his death.”
Dustin frowned, wearing a complex expression. “If everything went as expected, Dragonmarsh’s vital force would have beendestroyed, and the Dragon Guard in power would have suffered significant blows.
“In the coming period, the entire Oakvale will be in turmoil. Your family, the Spanners, should make preparations.”“What? Uncle Seth is dead?” Scarlet’s expression changed. “Who killed him?”
She had trained with Dustin and received guidance from Seth. In her eyes, Seth’s swordsmanship was unrivaled.“How could a powerhouse like Uncle Seth possibly die?” Scarlet wondered.
“Uncle Seth sacrificed himself to save me. Faced with overwhelming odds, he forcibly boosted his cultivation. But in the end, hecouldn’t bear the burden and vanished into thin air,” Dustin explained, his expression once again melancholic.
“Logan, my condolences,” Scarlet said with a heavy heart.
“Although Uncle Seth has passed away, his legendary charisma will remain in everyone's hearts. | will also inherit his will and live
on.Even as Dustin said those words, some things couldn't be easily let go of in a short time.
“Buddy, you mentioned the Dragon Guard being destroyed, and Oakvale is about to fall into chaos. Is it true?” Adam cautiouslyasked.
“How much do you know about the Dragon Guard?” Dustin countered with a question instead of answering.
“Not much. We’ve only heard about it occasionally. It’s said the Dragon Guard is a very mysterious organization with immensepower that can influence the royal family,” Adam replied.
“The Dragon Guard approached me once and wanted me to join them, but | declined. After that, | didn’t delve much further intoit,” Scarlet explained.
At the age of 18, when she attained Grandmaster status and was acclaimed as the Scarlet Warrior, the Dragon Guard attemptedto recruit her. However, she didn’t give it much thought at the time and simply dismissed the proposition.
“| only learned about the Dragon Guard today,” Dustin said solemnly.
He explained further, “This organization holds immense power, and its members are influential figures. Their influence spans theentire Dragonmarsh, even controlling the current King.”
“That powerful?” Adam’s eyes widened. Though he had heard of it, he didn’t know the specifics.
