The following morning, Dustin left his room and went to the villa's garden to appreciate the lush scenery.

He and Grace accepted Alicia's invitation to stay at the villa overnight to ensure the sisters' safety after the recent assassination attempt. Plus, Grace wanted to catch up with Alicia. Thankfully, the rest of the night passed without any disturbances.

Alicia's condition remained stable. She showed no adverse effects due to her good foundation.

Dustin strolled through the garden and noticed the villa's gate opening. A convoy of luxury cars drove in and cto a stop. Then, a group of uniformed Celestial Alliance disciples quickly exited the vehicles.

Unlike the regular disciples, these were the elite enforcement team. They were specially selected for their exceptional skills and loyalty.

The team was seldom deployed as they were reserved exclusively for dire circumstances at the discretion of the guildmaster and the elders. Their appearance always signaled the seriousness of the situation at hand.

Seeing the intimidating team, Dustin quietly stepped aside. He deduced that the failed attempt on Alicia and Aurora's lives the previous night had likely alerted Alloy. So, he dispatched the enforcement team to protect his daughters.

While Dustin wondered about the team leader's identity, he noticed the door of the car in the lead swung open. A sharp-suited young man, radiating authority, emerged. Every member of the enforcement team bowed in deference.

"Huh? It's him?" Dustin raised an eyebrow in surprise.

The young man was Fenley, one of the top talents of the Celestial Alliance and ranked fifth on the Legendary List.

His status was second only to the guildmaster and the elders. Although he was still technically a disciple, he was widely recognized as the guild's future successor.

Before he was 30, he was already halfway to becoming an ultimate grandmaster, towering above his peers. His actions commanded both respect and attention within the Celestial Alliance.

Fenley's prominence wasn't solely a result of his remarkable talent but also stemmed from his unwavering loyalty to the guild and his almost paternal bond with Alloy.

Dustin had faced Fenley in a match before. He acknowledged Fenley's impressive skill. He found his mastery of the Four Elements of God's Technique noteworthy.

"Fenley!" Upon hearing the commotion at the entrance, Alicia and Aurora dashed out joyfully. They rushed toward him and affectionately linked arms with him, each on one side. Their actions starkly contrasted with their treatment of Brian.

"Fenley, what brings you here? Aren't you in seclusion training?" Alicia asked curiously.

"My training has ended. I'm here for the Combat Tournament and because of you two," he replied with a smile.

"Because of us?" Alicia and Aurora exchanged knowing glances. They figured Alloy must've been concerned about their safety, prompting him to dispatch the enforcement team and arrange for Fenley's early arrival.

"I heard about what happened last night. I won't tolerate any threats around you. So, I'll eliminate any dangers and show those with ill intentions what it means to cross our guild," Fenley said calmly, though his words carried a clear sense of menace.

Attempting to assassinate and kidnap Alicia was a direct affront to the Celestial Alliance's dignity. If this weren't thoroughly addressed, their authority would be undermined.

"Don't just stand there. Let's go inside and talk." Alicia and and Aurora tugged Fenley's hand and led him toward the vitta's living room. As they passed by Dustin, Alicia stopped and introduced him enthusiastically. "Fenley, letintroduce you to someone remarkable.

"This is Dr. Rhys, the one who savedyesterday. He's a genius in both medicine and martial arts. Plus, he is now our guild consultant." Aurora chimed in, “Dr. Rhys, this is Fenley Hudson. The top disciple of our guild. I'm sure you've heard of him.”

Given Fenley's status as the future successor of the Celestial Alliance, his reputation preceded him. Anyone familiar with the martial world would recognize his name. "It's an honor to meet you, Sir Hudson, "Dustin said respectfully.

"Dr. Rhys?" Fenley scrutinized him and raised an eyebrow. "You look familiar. Have we met before?"
