“Regardless, for Taylor Quinton to be number three on the Legendary List, he must have his edge. You can get to know him if an opportunity presents itself. After all, you and him are family, “Grace said jokingly.
“I don’t even know if he’s a friend or foe. I never liked the Quinton family,” Dustin said calmly.
His mother was such a gentle and kind person. Yet, she was kicked out of her own family. She didn’t talk about it even after so many years.
From that alone, it was obvious that the Quinton family was no good Samaritan. As far as Dustin was concerned, he and Taylor Quinton had nothing to do with each other. However, it must be said that the Quinton family did have their own special way of nurturing talents.
“Oh, right. Your Highness, with your ability, shouldn’t you be on the Legendary List as well? Why isn’t your name listed?” Dustin suddenly asked.
“This is a list for the martial world. The royal family isn’t taken into consideration.”
Grace smiled.
“Actually, although the Zenith Society might have a huge intelligence department, they can’t guarantee the information they publish to be absolute and ultimate. All the lists are for reference only, and they are non- exhaustive. Dragonmarsh is a huge country with many talents. It’s possible that there are some remarkable talents hidden somewhere that we haven’t yet discovered.”
“That’s true as well.”
Dustin nodded. There would always be something or someone better. Who could guarantee that there wouldn’t be another chosen one that hadn’t been discovered?
“Now I’ll announce the last list, the Astonishing World List.”
Grace started explaining again, “This list includes only the best of the best in Dragonmarsh. Those on the list are big shots.
“First on the Astonishing World List is, as expected, Arion Foyer, the old grandmaster of the Sacred Wrym Summit. The second and third place on the list have been changed drastically. It used to be Alaric Drakon, the leader of Dragon Guard and Seth Hughes, the Sword Whisperer.
“Now, Cyrus Hadley, the leader of Sword Union is second on the list.
“Third on the list is the leader of Celestial Alliance, Alloy Marshall.
“Fourth, the leader of Mystic Arts Order, Penelope Solace.
“Fifth, the new leader of Dragon Guard, Reagan Judd.
“Sixth, the heir to Sacred Wrym Summit, Katy Foster.
“Seventh, the leader of Frostbane Citadel, Frost Bane. 2
“Eighth, the leader of Bounty League, Elder Shade.
“Ninth, the leader of Greendust, Randy Green.
“Tenth, Dustin Rhys and Cyrus Hadley.
Grace smiled and paused.
She said, “How’s that? You’re the tenth best fighter in Dragonmarsh. Do you still think that others will casually challenge you for your weapons?”
The Astonishing World List was more trustworthy than the Legendary List. Dustin and Cyrus currently ranked first on the Legendary List. They also made it to the Astonishing World List. It was a feat that no one had achieved before.
“If what you say is true, does that mean that the Astonishing World List has a deterrent effect as well?”
Dustin raised his brows slightly.
“Of course! You know, those listed in the Astonishing World List are basically grandmasters and really skilled fighters. Unless they are courting death, who would dare to challenge them?” Grace replied.
