Firstly, Glenn and Dustin were cousins. Secondly, encountering a worthy opponent was rare, and Glenn didn’t wish for Dustin to be disheartened.
After all, the solitary pursuit of victory was too monotonous.
“Logan, you’ll have to walk the rest of the way yourself. We’ll meet again someday,” Glenn said before swiftly vanishing from sight.
The Sword Union’s mission was to kill Dustin, but Glenn defied the order and provided assistance. He was well aware of the inevitable consequences awaiting him at the sect.
His explanation was concise: anyone who dared to challenge him could do so, and the sword in his hand would provide the answer.
“Sir, how’s your injury?” Abigail asked with concern.
“I’m fine.” Dustin shook his head, surveying the battlefield littered with corpses. He said, “This place is not suitable for a prolonged stay. Let’s head back.”
Though Alaric was dead, the Dragon Guard was not entirely wiped out. In case skilled warriors arrived, Dustin, in his current state, wouldn’t be able to handle them. They needed to retreat promptly.
After walking on the main road, they got into a car and headed straight for Oakvale.
However, when the car was halfway there, a large number of fully armed soldiers suddenly appeared ahead. These soldiers quickly surrounded Dustin’s vehicle.
Abigail’s expression changed when she saw them, and she immediately took out poison, saying, “This is unbelievable! Why are there still enemies?”
“Sir, stay in the car. I’ll deal with these guys!” With that, she was about to get out of the car to release the poison.
“Wait! They’re not enemies! They’re reinforcements!” He immediately intervened.
“Reinforcements?” She was momentarily stunned, not fully grasping the situation. Then, the door of the leading vehicle on the opposite side suddenly opened. Adam, his body stained with blood, rushed over urgently.
“Bro! My Bro!” Adam ran and shouted, looking extremely anxious. When he saw Dustin covered in blood, his expression changed dramatically.
“Oh my god! How did you get injured like this? Quick, hurry up! Medic!” He waved frantically to the back, signaling for medical assistance for Dustin.
“No need to make a fuss. I’m fine,” Dustin shook his head.
“You’re spitting blood, and you say you’re fine? Bro, you’re really something,” Adam said, looking amused.
“I’m a doctor. I know my own body. It’s not fatal for now,” Dustin replied.
“That’s a relief,” Adam sighed in relief.
“We encountered an interception on the road just now. Martial Arts Union soldiers tried to stop us. I managed to force them back, but it delayed us by an hour. Fortunately, you’re safe.”
“Logan!”
At that moment, a hurried call echoed. Dressed in a red martial outfit with flowing silver hair, Scarlet rushed over anxiously, bulldozing her way through and knocking down anyone in her path.
Her face, typically radiating elegance, now reflected panic and deep concern.
