Chapter 165
Bianca was in a five–star luxury hotel six miles away from the Aquila family. In a presidential suite, she soaked in a bathtub. Her phone was right beside her.
She was feeling great today and hummed a cheerful tune. She had no idea what had happened to the Aquila family. She did not care.
She was certain that things would progress according to her plan.
She had always looked down on Dustin and regarded him with disdain. Even if Dustin was no longer the person he was from the past, she still looked down on him.
So, she believed that the last resort that she had provided the Aquila family with was enough to keep Dustin in check.
“I told Brennan to keep Dustin alive. I’m going to toy with him on behalf of my cousins until he sinks into despair!” Bianca sneered.
Soon, her phone rang.
Bianca answered it. When she heard the news, her face changed.
“What? Dustin left the Aquila family unharmed?!” she cried out in disbelief.
Once she confirmed the news, she stood up from the bathtub and water dripped down her pale skin.
Bianca rushed to the Aquila family villa as quickly as she could.
No one came out to receive her. She could smell a thick scent of blood.
In her shock, she stepped through the gate and saw the horror within the Aquila family villa.
The place was filled with corpses. No one survived. Everyone was killed.
Bianca’s eyes widened in shock. She could not believe it.
Not so long ago, Brennan had promised her that he would capture the Fox family’s last surviving member and hand him over to her for punishment.
But in less than two hours, the Aquila family villa was reduced to hell on earth.
“What exactly happened here?” Bianca’s face darkened.
She then saw the corpses on the floor and grimaced.
Among the dead, she spotted several highly skilled fighters. She had borrowed them from the Winter family to assist the Aquila family.
But they were all dead. They had been killed in a single move.
Bianca’s face darkened and could not hide her shock.
Meanwhile, Dustin ordered his men to take the only survivor of the Aquila family to a safe place.
They were to keep him under constant surveillance. He did not believe that the mastermind would let this slide and do nothing.

Two days passed.
Over the past two days, Dustin personally guarded Brennan’s grandson, Hansel Aquila.
On the night of the third day, Dustin continued to keep watch over him. Nothing happened during the day. But when night fell, faint movements broke the silence.
Someone snuck in soundlessly. Hansel was fast asleep. The person stood by his bed and stared at him for a moment as if he were trying to confirm his identity.
Half a minute later, the person raised his hand to kill Hansel in one blow.
Whoosh!
At that moment, Dustin appeared suddenly, and his hand shot forward.
Their hands clashed, and a resounding band filled the room. The person stumbled back from the force and was barely able to regain his footing.
He was utterly shocked as he stared at Dustin.
“You’re a sovereign grade fighter!” Both of them cried out at the same time.
The person was not expecting a sovereign grade fighter to keep watch over Hansel, let alone one so young.
Dustin was also shocked.
The mastermind sent a sovereign grade fighter to assassinate a child like Hansel? He sure was generous.
But if he could make a sovereign grade fighter risk his life for him, it meant that the mastermind was not an
- ordinary person.
“What’s your connection to the Aquila family?” asked the person as he stared coldly at Dustin.
Dustin did not answer. He just attacked.
He threw a punch at the person. He intended to defeat this person first and interrogate him later. Even if he had to resort to torture, he would make sure this person revealed some information on the mastermind behind the incident.
When the person saw that there was not much force in Dustin’s punch, he did not take it seriously and countered with his own.
Their fists clashed like two unstoppable forces running into each other.
But the person was powerful even among other sovereign grade fighters. Dustin was powerful, but he did not worry too much about his attacks.
His eyes were fixed on Hansel. He intended to pull back once he struck Dustin and kill Brennan’s grandson right after.
But when their fists truly connected, he was shocked.
“Cough!”
The person’s hand tore apart. He felt a powerful force running up his arm, and he felt fear and surprise within him.
His hand split at the knuckles, and a tremendous force sent him flying backward. He coughed up blood, and his vital organs suffered quite an impact.

“Impossible…”
The person looked shocked. He could not believe it.
How could there be such a powerful fighter in Lannopolis?
He seemed to be only in his twenties!
But the person soon calmed himself and looked at Dustin closely. Then, he turned tail and ran.
He knew that he could not kill Hansel with Dustin around.
“Did I say you could leave?” Dustin scoffed and chased after him.
He had been waiting for this assassin to show up. How could he possibly let him run away?
Dustin was fast.
Before long, he caught up to the person.
His speed shocked the person once more.
Bam!
Dustin attacked and struck the person’s back. In his hurry, the person turned around to block the attack.
Their palms connected once again.
“Cough!”
Again, he coughed up blood and was thrown back. The person was injured once more. He could not escape. “Who are you?” He glared at Dustin. He racked his brain for information on a young, powerful martial artist but found nothing.
“Do you have any idea whose path you’re blocking?” asked the person threateningly.
Dustin sneered and said nothing. He shot forward and swung his arm. A few pebbles shot forward and hit the person’s joints. They hurt so much that he could not move.
With that, Dustin was finally at ease.
“Who sent you?” he asked coldly as he drew closer.
“You’ll never know!” The person sneered.
He could not move his body but could move his mouth. So, he moved his jaw. Then, his face turned purple, and blood poured out of his mouth and nose before he fell lifelessly to the ground
Dustin’s face darkened, and he rushed to check.
The sovereign grade fighter had used poison to kill himself!
He had even done it without any hesitation. He had readily taken his own life in front of Dustin.
A sovereign grade fighter was a valuable asset to any organization, but he had taken his life so willingly!
