Chapter: 1208

"That rascal should be a hotshot with the Balerno martial arts alliance now. Why would he do something like that to put himself in trouble? What’s going on?"

"We still do not know what exactly happened. I suppose there was some sort of internal strife,"

Conrad’s subordinate replied.

"Sir, Paul’s death came on too suddenly. Will we be blamed for what happened?" Brutus asked.

The Glenstead and Balerno martial arts alliances didn’t get along. They also just had a disagreement recently.

With Paul’s sudden murder, the Glenstead martial arts alliance would inevitably be suspected.

After all, the death of a grandmaster was a huge matter. It might lead to a war between both alliances. If that happened, things could rapidly get out of hand.

"Why are you so flustered? Didn’t you hear? Dustin Rhys is the murderer. What’s anything got to do with us?" Conrad wasn’t worried.

"Besides, it’s Paul Hill we’re talking about. Even if I personally went for him, I can’t say for sure that I’d be able to defeat him.

"It is no easy feat trying to kill him. Only someone close to him could sneak an attack on him. Ronald’s no fool. He’d understand this."

"So, there really has been internal strife in the Balerno martial arts alliance?" Brutus frowned.

"We’ll know once we go there and see for ourselves. Come on, let’s go and join the excitement!"

With a wave, Conrad led them out the door.

At this point, be it the Balerno martial arts alliance, the Glenstead martial arts alliance, or even the Hill household, they all had their attention on Dustin.

He had gone from a hotshot genius to a murderer overnight.

The entire martial arts world was in chaos because of it. Countless martial artists were on the lookout for him, the murderer.

Zephyr Lodge, on the outskirts of town, was now the base for Kirin Gang.

Dustin had gone there to lay low after he left the Hill family residence.

The Hills were upset. So, there was no point in trying to explain himself to them. The best course of action was to uncover the truth to prove his innocence.

Who was the one who murdered Paul? Why did the murderer set him up?

With those questions in mind, Dustin ordered everyone in Kirin Gang to uncover the truth. Everyone available was sent out to gather information.

Time was of the essence. They had to stabilize the situation before things got worse.

"Sir Rhys!" Nelson barged into the meeting room with sweat running down his face.

"Sir Rhys! We’ve got trouble! The Hills and their men are headed for Zephyr Lodge!"

"So soon?" Dustin frowned.
