"Uh…"
Looking at the head rolling on the ground prompted a brief silence from t
hose in the martial arts gym, followed
by the commotion and screams.
No one expected that Gabriel would choose to commit suicide so decisively
and ferociously.
With one sword, he cut off his own head.
Has he lost his mind!?
"What did you do to Sir Gabriel?! Nigel was sweating with fear.
"You want to find out? Go ask him yourself." Ignoring the shocked express
ions of everyone, Dustin turned
around and left the gym.
As soon as he left, a fully armed team immediately rushed in and sealed o
ff the scene. Everyone involved was
arrested.
He didn't care to worry about what happened next.
With Sergeant Spanner's power, there would naturally be no loopholes in h
andling this small matter..
On the other side, at Fallridge Haven.
"What? Dustin didn't die?! How could this happen? Gabriel is in the top t
en on the Hundred Immortals, and he brought so many elite members of the
Horst family to help him out. It should have been easy to deal with that
kid." When the news came out, Caden couldn't help but furrow his brows sl
ightly.
"We still don't know the details. There was no news from the dojo. We onl
y heard that Dustin returned unharmed," the guard whispered.
"That's odd. Where is Gabriel? Call him and ask," Caden said thoughtfully
.
"Sir Gabriel disappeared. The phone won't get through, and the dojo has b
een sealed off by the military," the
guard replied.
"Sealed off by the military? What happened?"
"We're not sure yet."
"Send someone to investigate and find out what happened," Caden ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The guard agreed and quickly left.
However, at that moment, a strong windy blade sound could suddenly be hea
rd from outside. A military helicopter descended from the sky and landed
steadily on the square.
As the cabin door opened, an old man with white hair and a burly figure,
followed by several subordinates, walked out confidently.
The old man had a square face, a goatee, and a dignified look, emitting a
strong and powerful aura. That was
the aura of a seasoned warrior, formed after many years on the battlefiel
d!
Ordinary people would shiver
at the sight of him and wouldn't dare to get close.
The old man was none other than Christopher Murray, the founding father o
f Dragonmarsh!
"Father? What brings you here?" When Christopher walked into the council
chamber, Caden, who was drinking
tea, was startled. The tea spilled all over the floor, and the teacup sha
ttered on the ground.
But he didn't have time to care about that and got up to greet him respec
tfully, like a mouse meeting a cat.
Although Christopher
had not been involved in the family's affairs for ten years, his accumula
ted influence
over the years still made people tremble with fear.
Even Caden, as the heir, didn't dare to behave out of line.
"Kneel down," Christopher uttered two words softly.
"What?" Caden was
stunned for a moment, then obediently knelt down on the ground.
In the Murray family, Christopher was like a god, and no one dared to def
y him.
"Do you know the reason why I made you kneel?" Christopher sat down on th
e chair, his presence was
imposing.
"I don't know." Caden lowered his head.
"Hmph! You've damaged the reputation of our family. You did things you sh
ouldn't have done and offended
people you shouldn't have offended. The Murray family's reputation was al
most ruined by you!" Christopher
spoke with a cold expression.
"Huh? Father, I don't quite understand." Caden was stunned.
"You don't even know you've made a big mistake. The Murray will be destro
yed by you sooner or later if
you don't step down from the position of head of the family. If you're no
t capable of handling it, then step
down now!" Christopher was livid.
"Step down?" Caden was stunned.
He thought his father was just going to scold him a few times, but he did
n't expect him to directly strip him of
his power!
Over the years, he had worked hard for the Murray family, focusing on his
work and getting things done.
Although he didn't have much merit, he at least kept the entire family in
order. Now, he was suddenly asked to
step down without knowing the reason behind
it. He was very dissatisfied.
"Father, I don't understand. What did I do wrong?" Caden
was unwilling.
"You are ignorant and shortsighted. You don't recognize a true dragon whe
n you see one. Retire and reflect on it before you cause any bigger troub
le. After you've figured it out, then we'll talk." Christopher left no ro
om for
argument.
Caden opened his mouth to explain but was interrupted by Christopher. "Sa
ve some dignity for yourself, and don't disappoint me further!"
Upon hearing this, Caden fell silent, feeling confused as he knelt on the
ground.
"Leave and call Sheila." Christopher waved his hand.
"Yes…" Caden didn't dare to disobey, so he bowed deeply before turning an
d leaving. His face was filled with gloominess.
"Grandpa! You really came?" After a while. Sheila ran into the living roo
m with a surprised look on her face.
She threw herself
into Christopher's arms and tearfully pleaded, "Grandpa! You came just in
time. Please, save Dustin! He's about to die!"
"Okay, alright. Silly girl Dustin is fine now." Christopher showed a rare
smile.
Back then, Caden was able to take the position of head of the family beca
use he gave Christopher this precious granddaughter.
"Really? Dustin is really okay?" Sheila wiped away her tears quickly.
"Of course. When has Grandpa ever lied to you?" Christopher patted her he
ad.
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Excited, Sheila planted a kiss on her grandfather's
face.
This made the old man burst into laughter, and he couldn't stop grinning.
"Little girl are you so nervous about Dustin because you have a crush on
him?" Christopher suddenly asked.
"Huh?"
Sheila was stunned at first, then her face turned red in an instant. "Gra
ndpa! What are you talking about? I
don't have a crush on him!"
"Hehe…if you like someone, then you like them. What's there to be afraid
of admitting? Young people should be bold." Christopher laughed.
"Grandpa, Dustin saved me before. I'm just grateful to him," Sheila lower
ed her head, stuttered, and her neck turned red.
"Just grateful? Then why were you crying for him? Little girl, if you rea
lly like him, take the initiative to pursue him, and don't miss any oppor
tunity. That kid is not an ordinary person. If you can win him over, it w
ill be great news for me too." Christopher rubbed his beard and laughed.
After all, Dustin was the kirin!
"If he can become my grandson–in–
law, those old guys will be jealous and crazy, won't they? Hahaha—
He thought.
