Chapter 188

"Smack!"

When the last slap fell, Gabriel was completely disfigured, with a crooke

d nose, a twisted mouth, and half of

his teeth falling out, looking extremely miserable.

He collapsed on the ground, completely powerless. He never expected Dusti

n to be so strong, to the point

where he couldn't even fight back throughout the whole fight.

He could only

passively take the beating without any resistance. With this kind of stre

ngth, Dustin might even well be in the top three of the Hundred Immortals

.

"D–did I see it right? Sir Gabriel was actually defeated? And so

miserably?"

"Who is this guy? What kind of monster is he?" After a long silence in th

e martial arts gym, there was finally

some sound.

However, no one responded because the facts were already laid out in fron

t of them.

Gabriel had indeed lost and was completely crushed throughout the entire

fight.

The so–called top ten of the Hundred Immortals and his so–

called "Eclipse Strike", his "ultimate" move, had

become a joke at this moment.

Dustin's strength was far beyond everyone's imagination. With just a slap

, he could render Gabriel completely

powerless.

"Who are you?" Gabriel sat on the ground, his face twisted with fear.

How could there be such a powerful person in a small place like Swinton,

and more importantly, one so

young? This was simply abnormal!

"Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is, will you still be able to surv

ive after this?" Dustin looked down at

him coldly.

Upon hearing this, Gabriel first froze, then burst out laughing maniacall

y, his face distorted. "Kid! I admit you are strong–

even exceptionally talented! But the problem is, you are just one person,

and behind me stands the

entire Horst family!

"The disciples of the Horst family are well into the thousands, spread th

roughout the seventeen provinces of Swinton! Will you be able to defeat t

en, a hundred, or even thousands of them? If you dare to kill me today, y

ou will become the public enemy of the entire Horst family. By then, you

will face countless warriors' relentless pursuit, day and night! You shou

ld weigh the consequences yoursell!"

After hearing these words, Nigel and the others, who were initially shock

ed and confused, immediately came back to their senses.

"That's right, so what if Dustin is so powerful? He was still only a huma

n being who has weaknesses and flaws. The Horst family was a wealthy and

powerful family in the capital with tons of

skilled warriors, some even stronger than Gabriel himself. Once these str

ong warriors learn of the news and gather up, it would be easy to crush h

im." The crowd thought.

"A person who acts recklessly will always remain so, and can never attain

the heights of true strength!" Nigel. shook his head and retained his ca

lm smile.

"Exactly! No matter how powerful he is, he is still an ant in front of th

e great Horst family. He'll be crushed easily! The girl in the yellow dre

ss followed up in agreement.

"In this world, it is not strength that matters but power and connections

. This kid will ultimately face death!" After realizing this, the group o

f people couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement about Dustin's impe

nding doom.

"Are you so confident that the Horst family can protect you?" Dustin look

ed at Gabriel with a meaningful smile on his lips.

"What, do you still want to challenge the entire Horst family with your o

wn strength?" Gabriel sneered, with a condescending look on his face.

"Challenge? You are overestimating yourself a little. Give the Horst fami

ly a call and ask if they can protect

you. Do they even dare to protect you?" Dustin sneered.

"Huh?" Gabriel narrowed his eyes and, after confirming that the other par

ty was not joking, immediately took out his phone.

However, the dozens of missed calls on it made him frown

slightly. He felt a sense of unease in his heart. He took a deep breath a

nd dialed the number back.

As soon as the call was connected, his father's roar came from the other

side.

"Gabriel! Where the hell have you been? Your phone has been unreachable!

You despicable animal! What the hell have you done? Our entire family has

been ruined by you! If I had known this would happen, I should have stra

ngled you to death earlier! So that you wouldn't bring

disaster to our whole family!" His father's angry rant immediately stunne

d Gabriel,

After a while, Gabriel tentatively asked, "Dad, what happened exactly?"

"You still have the nerve to ask what happened? It's all your fault! It's

all because of you, you despicable

animal! Our entire family has been banned from killing by the military! D

o you know who issued

the kill ban order? It was Adam Spanner! It's the God of War, Adam Spanne

r! One of the twin stars of the Spanner family and the youngest chief com

mander in Dragonmarsh! If the God of War personally takes action, what th

e hell have you done to offend him?!"

As he listened to his father's shouting in his ear, Gabriel felt as if he

had been struck by lightning and stood there stunned!

God of War?

Adam Spanner?

Kill Ban?

H–how could this be possible?

"Die! Just go and die! No one can protect you! And no one dares to protec

t you! Only when you die can the Horst family survive!" His father's voic

e came through the phone again.

Gabriel stood there, at a loss. His face was full of disbelief.

How could the world–

renowned God of War, Sergeant Spanner, suppress the Horst family? Who cou

ld request Sergeant Spanner to intervene?

"So? Do you still think that the Horst family will stand up for you?" Dus

tin's indifferent voice sounded.

"W–was it you?! Was this…all your doing? W–

who are you? Why would even Sergeant

Spanner stand up for you?!" Gabriel trembled all over, raised his head, a

nd looked at Dustin in horror.

He couldn't believe it. How could such a deity–

like person be hiding in a small place like Swinton?

"You don't deserve to know who I am. Now, I'll give you a chance to take

your own life, so that you can still save your family. As he spoke, Dusti

n kicked the broken sword on the ground toward Gabriel.

"Take…my own life?" Looking at his broken sword, Gabriel was stunned;

his face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with despair.

Then, in front of a group of people with

shocked, astonished, and unbelieving eyes, Gabriel picked up the sword an

d directly severed his own neck.

In an instant, his head rolled off and blood spattered on the ground.
