"Forget it I was just repaying your kindness earlier Since you don't
want to, forget it." Ralph shook his head pretentiously, giving them a
you'll regret-it-one-day look
Dustin and Maximus exchanged amused glances silently
"Let's go. Since we've run into each other, I might as well escort
you two up in case there's danger again." Ralph said, walking ahead with
his hands clasped behind his back.
"You guys are lucky to be able to walk with my grandpa!" With a
humph, Abby glared at them and hurried after Ralph.
Dustin smiled and followed behind them without protest. After all,
there was only one way up the mountain
Moving at a brisk pace, the group soon made it to the top At the
center of the hilltop was a platform, which was where Dustin and Tatum's
fight was supposed to take place. Many people had already gathered around
the platform, most of them martial artists, making things much. livelier
"Mr. Dunn? Nice to meet you.
"I've heard so much about you, Mr. Dunn It's an honor to meet you"
As soon as Ralph appeared, many people came unto greet him. It was
clear to see that the Steel Legion was quite famous
"Do you know how powerful my grandpa is now?" Abby goaded. "I bet you
regret your decision now Ha, but it's too late!"
Dustin pretended not to hear her, while Maximus ignored her by
turning his head away.
"I heard you're the witness for today's match, Mr. Dunn Who do you
think will win?" someone asked
"Isn't it obvious? Fanatic Blade, of course!" Abby chimed in "Tatum
is the principal disciple of Royal Valor and someone on the Heavenly
Immortals. He's never lost a fight before."
"It's true that he's strong, but I heard that Dustin Rhys is not
someone to underestimate either. Even Joshua Hummer, who had just reached
divinity, lost to him," another person responded. "Why would you compare
Tatum to Joshua?" Abby humphed. "One hasn't even fully reached divinity
yet, while the other already did that five years ago. With Tatum's skills
today, how hard can it be for him to defeat a country bumpkin?"
"She's right. No matter how I look at it, Tatum has a higher winning
chance," Ralph opined, and everyone instantly nodded in agreement.
Ralph was a revered senior martial artist and the witness for today's
duel, so naturally, everyone believed him.
Glancing at the people around him, Dustin shook his head with a
smile.
"What are you laughing at? Did Grandpa say anything wrong?" Abby
demanded, annoyed.
"Aren't you guys being too hasty? The battle hasn't even begun yet."
Dustin smiled.
"Why? Do you think that Dustin might win?" Abby pursed her lips.
"We'll only know once the batter starts," Dustin answered.
