Chapter: 1250

So, Charles had to get rid of Derek tonight.

"I swear I won’t tell a soul! I’ll forget anything happened tonight! I’ll do everything you say, sir, I swear!" Derek stammered.

"Only the dead are trustworthy, so all of you need to die!" Charles signaled to his men.

"Kill them!"

"Yes, sir!"

The death warriors raised their bloody swords and charged toward the Kirin Gang members. Cornelius, who was holding Derek hostage, was their first target.

"Don’t kill me!" Derek wailed, wetting his pants out of fear.

Just as he was about to lose hope, an arc of light burst overhead, barely missing the top of his head-the light shot toward the death warriors like lightning.

Immediately, the death warriors froze in their tracks. Blood splurted out as their heads rolled onto the ground simultaneously.

"What?" Derek gaped at the headless bodies in disbelief.

He had witnessed how strong Charles’ death warriors were and how they annihilated his men in less than two minutes.

Yet, those beasts had been defeated with a single strike.

That was impossible!

"H-how is that possible?" Charles’ eyes widened incredulously.

Those had been insanely powerful fighters that his family spent a lot of time and effort training.

They were invincible when they fought together. Unless someone were a Grandmaster, they wouldn’t be a match for his men.

Yet, Dustin had taken care of them with one swing. How was that even possible?

Charles backed up in terror as the headless bodies fell to the ground with thuds. His eyes were filled with astonishment, dismay, and fear.

"W-who the hell are you?" Charles paled.

He didn’t expect Dustin to be so strong, initially assuming he could take care of Dustin easily.

"You have no right to know who I am," Dustin replied calmly.

"You have two choices right now. We either settle this peacefully, and you swear never to set foot in Balerno again, or I can end everything by killing you here and now."

Charles trembled in fear. But the thought of his family’s influence reassured him.

"What makes you think you can challenge the Killian family, brat? Did you know that we are one of the Supreme Four out of Oakvale’s eight great families?

"You’re just a guildmaster. What makes you think you can challenge one of the strongest families in Oakvake?" Charles sneered.
