Dustin didn't say anything more and narrowed his eyes, staring silently a

It didn't matter if they died since they were just cannon fodder. The rea
l fighters were seated right behind him. There weren't many of them, but
they were all ranked on The Hundred Immortals.
Especially the twin brothers with the code name Darkwrath and Lightwrath.
They were the seventh and eighth on The Hundred Immortals, respectively.
They practiced the dark arts, and their moves were terrifyingly lethal.
When they fought

Of course, besides the twins, another highly skilled martial artist was h
idden within the villa. That person was ranked third on the Hundred Immor

Regardless of how many fighters the Harmon family sent, they were all goi
ng to meet their demise.
After a brutal fight, hundreds of the Hummer family's fighters were left
lying on the ground. The shadow guards of the Harmon family, on the other
hand, had suffered only a single casualty and five injuries. Their losse
s were relatively minimal in comparison.
"Hmph! You dare kidnap Ms. Harmon with these pitiful weaklings? You shoul

"Ms. Harmon?" Istrid's expression hardened, and she rushed forward with h

sword and severed the chains with a resounding clang.
"Ms. Harmon! Are you okay?"
Istrid opened up the metal door and was about to save the woman inside wh

Istrid's pupils constricted, and she immediately stepped back, covering h
