Chapter 959


    Apparently, the location of Iris Meskill’s tomb had finally been found. It was rumored to be in the ck


    Forest.


    When the news got out, many martial artists rushed to Lester to try their luck. After all, such


    opportunities were rare.


    Meanwhile, in a sedan heading toward Lester, Dustin stared out the window, lost in thought. Abigail sat


    beside him, chatting nonstop.


    “Dr. Watkins told you to take care of yourself and take your medicine on time. Remember not to use


    your true energy, or it could mess you up inside,” she said.


    “Also, I have no idea who leaked news about Iris Meskill’s tomb, but many people are going after the


    treasure now. So, thepetition’s going to be tough.


    “Oh, and one more thing. Last night, some skilled person broke into the alliance’s prison and rescued


    Spring Hill.


    “The alliance sent people to catch him, but no luck so far,” Abigail reported as she scrolled through her


    messages.


    Dustin, who had been zoning out, finally responded, “Spring Hill escaped? Who could have broken him


    out of the martial arts alliance’s prison?”


    “ording to Mr. Adler, it looks like Shadowyer did it. The alliance was also caught off guard,”


    Abigail exined.


    “It might have been possible if it was Dimitri Gonzalez we’re talking about. Still, I didn’t expect them to


    take such risks for a pawn.” Dustin narrowed his eyes.


    “Something’s been bothering me since Paul Hill’s death,” Azalea suddenly said.


    As Abigail’s bodyguard, Azalea always stayed close to Abigail.


    “What is it?” Dustin raised an eyebrow.


    “I don’t know. I just feel that we’re being led by the nose.” Azalea crossed her legs and began


    pondering about it.


    “For now, just focus on the Shadowbloom.” Dustin closed his eyes, uninterested.

    “Fine,” Dustin responded without hesitation.


    He couldn’t care less about the treasures. All he needed was the Shadowbloom.


    “Alright, that’s a deal!” Nikki beamed.


    She was surprised. She expected him to bargain with her.


    “Let me know when you discover anything.” Dustin spun around to leave.


    “Hang on!”


    Nikki grabbed his arm and asked tentatively, “What happened before this was my fault, so I’d like to


    apologize to you.


    “Can you forgive me? I hope we can still be friends.”Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    Her eyes teared up as she put on a pitiful act.


    “We’re merely doing business, so don’t bring that up.” Dustin brushed Nikki’s hand aside cooly and


    walked out without looking back.


    He would never have agreed to mee


    her if he had no use for her.


    “Why are all of you like this? I already gave in and apologized, so why can’t you guys give me a


    chance?


    “Just wait till I make all of you surrender to me!” Nikki seethed through gritted teeth.


    After a moment, she took a deep breath topose herself.


    She stored the scripture away carefully and made herself presentable before going into another private


    room.


    And there sat Samuel Franklin.


    “Mr. Franklin, I have valuable intel for you. However, you’ll have to agree to my conditions first.”


    By the following day, a shocking piece of information began spreading in the martial world.
