"Ruby, are you going to go back on your word?" Dalen asked with a half-smile.

"Who said that I regretted? It's not like I can't afford to lose." Ruby rolled her eyes and quickly stepped

forward.

After pushing through the crowd and standing before Dustin, she said quickly yet stiffly, "Well... I

misunderstood you before. I'm sorry."

After saying that, Ruby turned around without giving a chance for Dustin to reply.

Dustin was taken aback, confused about what was happening. Although Ruby was apologizing, she

seemed unwilling to do so.

"I already apologized. Are you happy now?" Ruby returned to Dalen's side and pouted.

Dalen shook his head with a smile. He didn't pursue it any further.

At this moment, Dustin was at the center of attention.

Various sects and experts were scrambling to recruit Dustin. Plus, the conditions they offered were

extremely enticing. It was obvious that they were scared of missing out on such a golden opportunity.

Some even tried to seduce Dustin, hoping they could claim Dustin as theirs.

Dustin felt a headache upon facing everyone's enthusiasm. However, he politely declined them one by

one.

If Kimboku didn't provoke them, Dustin didn't want to be in the spotlight. He found it troublesome after

winning.

"Alright, everyone. Dustin must be tired after that battle. Let him have a rest first. We can talk about it

later." Quincy walked forward and smoothed things over.

As the Guardian of Celestial Alliance, Quincy was well-respected for his reputation and his capability.

Although everyone was unwilling to leave, Quincy had already spoken up about it. Thus, they could

only leave out of respect after wishing Dustin goodbye.

Actually, people who were smart enough knew that Quincy harbored goodwill.

If Celestial Alliance wanted to recruit Dustin, minor sects like them didn't stand a chance. No matter if it

came to benefits or prestige, Celestial Alliance was unparalleled in the martial world.

After the crowd dispersed, Quincy spoke with a smile, "I'm impressed by how you brought glory to the

country. I was wondering if you would like to have a meal with me?"

I still have a few friends." Dustin turned around and looked at Dalen and the others.

"It's fine. You're the future of Dragonmarsh. We can take this opportunity to get to know each other,"

Dalen replied.

"Well then, don't mind if I do." Dustin nodded.

From their interaction just now, Dustin could tell Quincy was a good person. Thus, the former didn't

mind getting to know him.

Meanwhile, the butler carried the severely injured Marco and jogged to a private courtyard.

The courtyard was big and surrounded by tall walls. It was adorned with lush greenery, creating a

tranquil atmosphere.

"Come quickly! Sir is injured!" The butler shouted after entering the courtyard.

The butler was covered with sweat, running all the way there without stopping.

Upon hearing his shout, a bunch of people soon emerged in the yard. All of them were Kimboku's aces

wearing martial arts uniforms, and holding curved longswords.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a robust physique, carrying two curved longswords at his

waist. A hint of beard adorned his chin, which was a distinctive feature of Kimbokuans.

The man was no other than Marco's father, the head of the Alessandro family, Anthony Alessandro.

He was also one of the ten Sword Sages in Kimboku.

"What happened? Why is Marco severely injured?" Anthony questioned with a gloomy expression.
