Dustin narrowed his eyes slightly as he processed the information.
Initially, giving Zion the Martial Leagues Gold Token had been more of an experiment.
It had been a way to gauge his capability.

To his surprise, Zion had not only proven capable but had uncovered significant leads.
It was no wonder my adoptive father insisted I gather enough strength before seeking vengeance.
The eleven forces already identified are all formidable.
Even among the Seven Clans of Central Harbor, three were involved.
The most powerful figures at the very pinnacle of Lovellia hierarchy might struggle to make any significant headway, Dustin thought to himself.
But he was the King of Hades and the master of Star Tower.
He commanded two of the most elite forces in the world.
He had no reason to fear anyone.
For now, this is everything Ive uncovered about the forces behind the Fox family massacre, Zion said earnestly.
If I werent facing interference, Im confident I could dig up even more with time! Ever since the Fox family tragedy, he had wanted to investigate, but orders from above had suppressed his efforts and prohibited any inquiry.
Youve done well.
I hope you can bring me more good news soon, Dustin said as he praised him.
Now, tell me more about this interference youve encountered… Zion furrowed his brows.
As for the interference from the Central Harbor, I cant pinpoint whos pulling the strings.
But here in Grayvale, its from the Williams family.
Dustins face shifted subtly.
The Williams family… Both Lord Barbenheim and his two sons had died by Dustins hand.
Who was left to control that family? Sensing Dustins unspoken question, Zion said, Master Fox, aside from Lord Barbenheim, the true power in the Williams family lies with an elder lord and a mysterious advisor.
I see… Dustin nodded as a faint smile curled on his lips.
There was little doubt that the Williams family had played a significant role in the annihilation of the Fox family.
They likely even served as a part of the masterminds direct schemes.
Dustin was resolute.
The Williams family had to be destroyed.
But something puzzled him.
After all, Lord Barbenheim and his two sons had ended up dead at his hands… While the deaths of Lord Barbenheim and his eldest son, Alvin, were shrouded in secrecy, and it might be difficult to trace it back to him, he had killed Arthur in plain sight in front of countless witnesses.
Yet, the Williams family had remained unusually quiet and made no move against him.
They would not let it go this easily.
Clearly, they were plotting something in the shadows.
Without interference from the Williams family, I imagine your investigation would proceed fac more smoothly, Dustin said JMS Absolutely… Zion agreed with a smile, but his words faltered.
His face went pale as realization hit.
Does he mean… to eliminate the Williams family entirely? he thought.
Zions heart pounded in fear.
He did not dare to say another word.
It was an audacious and daring act.
To destroy a noble family like the Williams family… Who in this world would dare? Who could even accomplish that? Dustin, sensing Zions unease, regarded him impassively.
Do you have something to say? he asked.
Master Fox… hes truly a daring figure who defies convention… he muttered as his heart was gripped by unease.
It was impossible not to feel worried working under someone who was so bold and ruthless.
Dustin sensed Zions unease.
So? Do you have something to say? he asked impassively.
Zion stiffened.
Theres one more piece of information Ive uncovered, though it remains unce Zion said as he bowed slightly.
Speak, Dustin said casually.
After the Fox family tragedy, a baby was smuggled out of Grayvale… and it seems that she might still be alive… In an instant, Dustins face stiffened.
His calm demeanor gave way to a flicker of emotion.
