Victor's hesitation was painfully obvious.

He did not dare fight Dustin. The thought of tarnishing his hard-earned reputation or, even worse, losing his life

to Dustin, was enough to sap any courage he might have had.

He was leaving himself an easy way out.

All Dustin needed to do was offer a plausible explanation, and Victor would latch onto it as an excuse.

"Why did I kill the Aquila family?" Dustin sneered with a cold face. "The Aquila family was once an underling of

the Fox family. They betrayed us and colluded with traitors. They were involved in the slaughter of my entire

family. Now, I've returned for revenge. An eye for an eye... Does anyone have a problem with that?"

At Dustin's words, the crowd exchanged surprised glances.

The Fox family...

Was he referring to the Fox family from Grayvale over twenty years ago?

No one had expected that there was a survivor from that family... Victor's face grew serious.

The massacre of the Fox family was a complicated affair. Anyone who knew even a little bit of the truth

understood the stakes. Many powerful forces had been involved in that massacre. Their influence was so

massive that the entire Grayvale had turned a blind eye to that tragedy.

Victor was deep in thought as unease flickered in his eyes. "If the heir of the Fox family has returned with such

terrifying power, Honora is destined to face an upheaval,’ he thought.

He was privy to sinformation and understood that the coming days would witness the rise and fall of many

forces.

'This is no place forto meddle. Neither side is to be trifled with," thought Victor as he made up his mind.

"I've heard of the Fox family tragedy, but | never imagined the Aquila family would be implicated. This case is far

too complex to be judged in haste," he said and paused to let his words hang in the air. "This case should be

referred to the Martial League Headquarters in Central Harbor. There will be experts to conduct a thorough

investigation. Does that sound reasonable to all of you?"

The elite martial artists exchanged uneasy glances.

Bianca scowled in frustration.

Victor's words sounded logical and honorable, but it was clear to her that he was just looking for a way to not

involve himself in this.

How could he simply walk away at such a critical moment?

"Mr. Cain, are you... afraid?" someone murmured.

"Afraid?" Victor heard the words, and his face darkened with anger. "I'm the strongest martial artist of Lannopolis

and a national hero. What do I have to fear? | merely refuse to make a reckless judgment that could cloud the

truth!" The elite martial artists had no choice but to murmur in agreement.

Dustin chuckled softly but made no effort to expose Victor's intentions,

"Since we're not going to fight, can | leave?" he asked.

Victor's face stiffened as his pride took another hit.

But he did not dare challenge Dustin. He was the harbinger of chaos.

"If the Martial League summons you, you must respond," he said as he did his best to maintain his composure.

Dustin did not even bother to reply. He turned around and walked away without so much as a backward glance.

Victor's face turned an ugly shade of purple in frustration.

"Mr. Cain, that brat clearly has no respect for you! Are you really going to let him walk all over you like this?" one

of the elite martial artists asked indignantly..

Victor's face was a storm of conflicting emotions. He finally gritted his teeth and said, "As a man of my stature, it

would be beneathto give in to emotions and argue with a young brat."

The elite martial artist fell silent as he had no comeback for that.

Victor sighed in relief as Dustin stepped out of the Cain family villa.

His nerves had been on edge-the entire time.

He had genuinely feared that Dustin would not let him off and would insist on a fight.

"I'm getting too old for this. From this day forth, I'm retiring from the matters of the martial world," he declared

firmly to the crowd.

With that, he walked off without looking back and left the elite martial artists bewildered.

Bianca stood up with a face as dark as a thundercloud.

'l refuse to believe that no one in this world can stand against Dustin Fox!" she thought with hardening resolve.
