"Comparing numbers, now are we? Let's see how many brains you have here!" Scarlet didn't bother wasting her breath at the crowd's uproar and raised her sword. She was obviously irritated. But before she could attack, Dustin stopped her. "Kid, don't act impulsively."With Scarlet's temper, she wasn't afraid to kill. But if she did kill, the consequences would be severe.The people they were up against were of different status. They were Oakvale's high-ranking officials. If Scarlet hurt them, she would be responsible for it. She might even be dismissed. The Spanners were a prominent family and had many enemies. Once they had a weakness, their enemies would use it against them. The prime example was the time he was falsely accused of starting a rebellion. He didn't want Scarlet to get into trouble because of him. "Dustin, these people are despicable and only bully the weak. They will continue their acts if we don't teach them a lesson." Scarlet glared fiercely at the grou
Chapter 1246
Everyone instinctively turned toward the voice. At the entrance, they saw a group of armed guards escorting several aristocrats, marching in magnificently. Leading the group was an elegantly dressed, beautiful young woman. The beautiful young woman seemed to take good care of her appearance and looked to be in her early 30s. She exuded an air of grace and elegance, her every move screaming royalty. Beside her was a handsome young man who had his hands in his pockets. As he walked in, his gaze darted around his surroundings, looking indifferent."Oh my goodness, it is the Princess Consort of Theswe! Why is she here?""The Princess Consort of Theswe? The one from West Lucozia?""Of course! Who else would dare claim that title?" After seeing the beautiful young woman, the scene was again thrown into chaos. Even the high-ranking officials of Oakvale became respectful. They wouldn't have felt so nervous if it were just any other Princess Consort. But the Princess Consort o

"What?" The sudden turn of events left everyone dumbfounded. Nobody expected the Princess of Theswe to greet Landon with a slap to the face. It was a simple, brutal action without any warning nor words of exchange. The problem was Landon was the Minister of War and an official of the first rank. She completely disregarded him by slapping him in public. "Yo—Your Highness, why did you hit me?" Landon was dumbfounded. He felt disoriented as he clutched his throbbing cheek. He would have flown into a rage if it had been just another ordinary aristocrat. But given that this was the Princess Consort of Theswe and Dragonmarsh's eldest princess, he could only hold it in even if he was frustrated. "That slap was for your ignorance. Now, kneel before you speak." The beautiful woman spoke icily. "Your Highness, I don't understand. What have I done to offend you?" Landon summoned up the courage to ask. She struck him hard across the face again. Coldly, she demanded, "Are you deaf?
Chapter 1248
"We can only hope that the Princess Consort of Theswe will not implicate us Grants," Arthur said, swallowing dryly. He had lost his previous arrogance. It was now replaced with fear and anxiety. The Princess Consort of Theswe's appearance had changed the situation unexpectedly. "Hmph! You bunch of impudent scum! You would have lost your heads if the Prince of Theswe was here!" The beautiful woman sneered.Then, under the watchful eyes of many, she walked up to Dustin. Her previously proud and cold demeanor disappeared. It was now replaced with a rare smile. "Logan, long time no see. How have you been all these years?""Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I've been living quite well." Dustin nodded slightly without arrogance.While he didn't exactly hate the woman before him, he didn't have positive feelings about her either. "Ten years had gone by so quickly. You've grown so much, I almost didn't recognize you."She smiled, then waved to someone behind her. "Austin,
Chapter 1249
Austin's hands were on his hips. With one foot stepping down on Landon's chest, he launched into a violent tirade. Every word he uttered was an earth-shattering revelation that shocked the crowd. For a moment, the entire scene was covered in silence. Everyone was dumbfounded and in disbelief.They could never have imagined that Dustin had hidden such a huge secret. He was Austin's eldest brother, the unparalleled Kirin, and the Crown Prince of West Lucozia. The three revelations weighed upon them like three massive mountains."I—I know who he is now. He was that monstrous genius who stirred Oakvale into a storm ten years ago. Logan Rhys!""What? Logan Rhys? Isn't he supposed to be dead? How can he still be alive?""Logan Rhys … It's Logan Rhys! Oh my goodness! How did we manage to offend such an influential figure?" After a brief silence, the entire scene erupted into chaos. Everyone had their attention on Dustin. Their faces displayed astonishment, fear, doubt, and mostl
Chapter 1250
Arthur was overcome with panic as he broke out in a sweat. Dustin was the Rhys family's Kirin and the future Prince of Theswe. The Grants had provoked someone they never should have."It's over … we're done for!" Trent fell to the ground with a thud; the color drained from his face. The elders of the Harmon family were also filled with despair, deeply regretting their actions. Nobody expected Dustin to have hidden such a terrifying background. It sent shivers down their spines. The Grant family was powerful and influential enough to have support from the Minister of War and other high-ranking officials. They were undeniably a force to be reckoned with in Balerno. But all of that was nothing compared to a colossal figure like the Prince of Theswe. They were but insignificant pawns that would never be able to put up any resistance. They stood on entirely different planes of status. As the Crown Prince, Dustin could destroy the entire Grant family if he wanted to. And the Har
Chapter 1251
Arthur was slapped so hard across the face that he almost stumbled. A handprint was visible on his cheek. But he didn't dare voice his frustration. Instead, he turned around instantly and roared at Trent and his group, "All of this is happening because of all of you! "What are you doing just standing there? Let them go!" Arthur quickly distanced himself from them to avoid being implicated. "What?" Trent and his group exchanged glances, unsure of what to do. Although they knew they kidnapped Natasha, they didn't know where she was being held. Feeling helpless, they could only look to Kate for help. "In … In the secret room. They're being held in the secret room." Kate shrunk back. In the end, she confessed with her head down. "Hurry! Save them!" Landon cried as he led a group of high-ranking officials straight to the Grant family's secret room.It was the best chance for them to make amends. Naturally, they had to perform well. "All of you better pray that Natasha is s
Chapter 1252
It was the Harmons themselves, Natasha's own family, who kidnapped her and led to Hector's death.Dustin could no longer tolerate their selfish behavior. "Dustin, we were wrong. We won't do it again. Please spare us!"We promise never to go against Natasha ever again!" Kate quickly begged for mercy when she noticed their dire situation. "What's the point of saying all these now?" Dustin replied coldly. "You've repeatedly resorted to dirty tricks and fought for power. While it was already getting out of hand, at least you hadn't crossed certain lines. "But this time, your actions have shown a complete lack of humanity! You've lost all conscience and are worse than animals. What makes you think you deserve forgiveness?""Regardless, we are still Natasha's relatives. We share the same blood. If something were to happen to us, she would surely be heartbroken. "You love her so much; you wouldn't want to see her in tears, would you?" Kate began playing the emotional card. "Re
