“Alright.”

Lucas nodded, acknowledging the reality of his ailing leg. Joining the action in his current condition would be more

of a hindrance than help. He’d end up a liability.

“By the way, Mr. Ashen, do you have a photo of your sister? Let us take a look to avoid any confusion,” Dustin said.

“Sure, here it is!”

Lucas swiftly retrieved his phone and presented a photo of him and his sister.

Dustin nodded. Unquestionably, Lucas’s sister possessed beauty-fair skin, a charming visage, and a radiant smile

that exuded vibrancy and cheerfulness. Perhaps it was her striking beauty that drew the unwanted attention of

bullies like Russo and his gang.

“Mr. Rhys! Be cautious of Russo’s subordinates. They are formidable!” Lucas earnestly warned.

As the son of a general, Lucas had received martial training from a young age, boasting significant strength.

Handling ordinary individuals, even 100 at once, was a manageable feat.

However, when faced with Russo’s subordinates, he couldn’t endure beyond three moves. The gap in prowess was

simply too significant.

“Rest assured. I know my limits. Wait here for our updates,” Dustin assured with a confident smile.

He briskly departed with Grace.

In the car, Grace suddenly suggested, ” Logan, it’s best to inform your father and let him handle it if we want to

quickly resolve this matter.”

“We can’t involve Rufus for now.”

Dustin shook his head.

He went on, “If Rufus steps in, it might prematurely alert Russo. The Vern family is a prominent force in West

Lucozia. They are connected to various factions. Even within the castle, many are in cahoots with the Vern family.”

He added, “If I inform Rufus to settle this before he sets out, Russo and his group might receive word and slip away.

In that case, dealing with this matter will become even more troublesome. We should take this matter into our own

hands.”

Grace nodded in agreement.

She said, “That makes sense. If they’re protected at high levels, capturing Russo could be challenging. If we take

direct action first, catching Russo and then unraveling the rest of the criminal network becomes feasible.”

“Also, the remnants of Dragon Guard are lurking in the shadows. Until we investigate their whereabouts, I can’t

meet Rufus too soon. Revealing our plans too early could have dire consequences,” Dustin added with a serious

expression on his face.

There undoubtedly were spies of Dragon Guard within the castle. They could possibly even be Rufus’ close aides. In

such a perilous situation, he couldn’t act rashly or he might expose his identity.

“Your thinking is meticulous. So, what’s your plan?” Grace inquired curiously.
