My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

Back in Lannopolis, Timothy had failed to arrest Dustin and had been sent packing with his tail between his legs. Dustin could not be bothered to entertain him any further.

Even here in Grayvale, Timothy was still hung up on Dustin's case and did all sorts of pointless things.

As Dustin had said before, insects might be small, but they got really annoying when they were not dealt with early.

"Do you really want to die so easily? Alright, then. I'll help you with that.”

As Dustin spoke, he stepped forward. In an instant, he had traversed more than fifty feet and appeared right before Timothy and Elijah.

The sudden move frightened the two of them. Their faces stiffened.

"What... are you going to do?" Timothy was nervous at how Dustin stared at him. He lost all of his confidence.

"I am a member of the Bones family! You wouldn't dare do anything to me in front of so many people!" Timothy's voice was loud, and his eyes bulged. He wanted to make himself appear dauntless in the face of danger.

"That's right, Dustin! You wouldn't dare touch the son of the Bones family! You don't have the guts!" Elijah said mockingly beside Timothy.

Dustin ignored Elijah. He flicked a finger at Timothy and sent a shot of pure energy toward him like an arrow.

A finger-sized hole appeared on Timothy's forehead.

His eyes went wide, and his gaze filled with disbelief. Then, his head tilted back, and he fell backward.

Elijah's face stiffened. The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he failed to say anything even after a long time.

He had been shocked to the core.

He had shuddered at the way Dustin had killed Timothy with just a flick of his finger.

The Bones family was one of the Seven Clans of Central Harbor. It was one of the most influential and powerful families of Lovellia.

But Dustin had dared to kill Timothy anyway.

The martial artists in the conference room were all silent. Their faces reflected a range of emotions.

Would they also die if they attacked Dustin?

Although the force backing them was a powerful one, it was one that was at the same level as the Bones family.

"This is the guy who dared to kill Arthur Williams in public..." someone muttered.

Everyone suddenly recalled that Dustin was a known offender who had killed many times before.

He had eliminated several of Grayvale's families without even blinking. Yet, he was still alive and well.

With all that put together, Dustin was immensely terrifying.

He kept breaking the law, yet he always managed to escape.

Was there really no one who could control him?

But...

The General of the West had controlled a great army of a hundred thousand soldiers. They had surrounded Grayvale. Yet, Dustin had gone to where the army was camped out alone and returned unharmed, with no news from the army ever again.

The Outlaws Department had sent its agents. They had even sent the top Mystic Agent to arrest Dustin. Yet, he was still a free man.

The Superintendent of the Martial League had tried as well, but he was similarly neutralized. Worse, he had announced that Dustin was innocent.

Dustin was simply too mysterious and too dangerous.

The more they thought about it, the less confident they became.

At the door, Dustin looked down at Elijah.

Elijah's face went white. He was terrified that he was going to die, but he forced himself to look calmand composed. It made the veins on his face bulge and twitch. noveldrama

"What? You want to kill me too?” Elijah asked shrilly. "I'm afraid... you won't manage..."

Elijah gritted his teeth as he stumbled backward.

Dustin's gaze was sharp, and it felt like it was cutting into Elijah.

"If I really tried to kill you, do you think those people back there can protect you?" Dustin's tone was icy and murderous. It sent chills down Elijah's spine.

Naturally, Dustin knew that there were people who wanted to protect Elijah.

Perhaps someone from the Lotus Sect or the Wyatt family's Shadows were hiding here.

However, Dustin was not worried about them at all.

"I owe Lucas everything. If I kill you, he will lose his only son," Dustin said flatly.
