Chapter: 1170
"Yeah, right. A 100-level pressure? Well, you were all tricked!" Desmond overconfidently explained, "If my guess is right, he must have done something to the machine. I’m sure the machine didn’t even put any force on him. He must have lied!"
"That can’t be." Devon was skeptical.
"Think about it. Which sane person would put the pressure to the max? They’d explode if anything went wrong.
"Besides, didn’t you guys realize that he didn’t even break a sweat during the test? How is that possible?" Desmond continued.
"You’re right! It’s suspicious how unfazed he was!" Gianna was convinced.
"You’re right. He must have cheated!" Devon nodded.
They still couldn’t accept how strong Dustin was.
"No one is perfect. Everyone has a weakness, but that guy was too perfect, making him seem more suspicious," Desmond said confidently.
"Dominic, if you don’t believe me, you can give it a go. We’ll know the truth then."
"Alright! Let’s see what tricks that guy used." Dominic paused before gritting his teeth and entering the pressure machine.
Obviously, he planned to try bit-by-bit instead of pushing the lever to the max in one shot.
"Huh?" Dominic paled when he realized that Dustin hadn’t returned the lever to its original position after the test. It was still pointing at 100.
"Fuck!"
Terrified, Dominic reached for the lever. But before he could touch it, the metal door slammed close. Instantly, immense pressure pressed down on him.
"You asshole! You fucking lied-" Dominic snarled at Desmond.
But before Dominic could finish his sentence, there was a bang as he exploded, turning into a bloody mist.
Dustin and the others left the martial arts alliance branch after the test. Scarlet suddenly received a call that darkened her face on their way back.
"Got it. I’ll return as soon as possible." Scarlet hung up after the brief conversation.
"What’s wrong, kid?" Dustin was curious.
"The call was from Oakvale. Someone accused me of gathering troops and planning a rebellion. They are demanding an explanation," Scarlet replied calmly.
"A rebellion? What a load of crap!" Georgia was pissed.
"Madam, you suffered so much to protect our country at the borders while those trash at Oakvale did nothing. How dare they accuse you!"
"Those little shits! They deserve to die!" Even the usually quiet Bridget couldn’t help cursing.
Being accused of rebelling was a major crime. Even if they were innocent, others would still make assumptions.
"Given your status, many eyes will be on you, and everything you do will be watched. Others will distort and exaggerate the truth if you make sudden moves." Dustin shook his head.
