The objective was straightforward.
Clearly, the man had done his homework.
He knew that just a few days ago, Tyler was merely a ninth grade fighter, not even at the top, and far from reaching the Martial Saint level.
Yet, after training under Dustin for just a short time, Tyler had not only reached Martial Saint level but had also defeated Elijah.
Even someone as esteemed as Joseph would be astonished by such a feat.
The ability to elevate someone to sovereign grade in mere days was extraordinary and would undoubtedly attract the interest of many influential factions.
That was why he had sent Allison to test the waters.
You old geezer! Of course, youd make a move, Dustin thought.
Ill give you a pill.
Take it, and youll shine at the martial arts competition, he said as he placed a small bottle on the table between them.
Then, he brought out a martial arts manual and set it in front of Allison.
This technique is suitable for you.
Take it with you.
Allisons face froze slightly as she looked at the items.
Dustins tone was distant as if he were repaying a debt.
It was devoid of warmth.
What do you mean by this? Allison asked.
You wanted these things, didnt you? I owe you anyway.
Take them, Dustin said with a soft smile.
Allison was stunned.
A mix of disappointment and other emotions flickered in her gaze.
After a moment of silence, she seemed torn but ultimately stood and collected the items.
Thank you, she said stiffly before turning to leave the villa.
Dustin did not stop her.
Allison returned to the McCall family villa, feeling dejected.
The moment she arrived, Joseph came up to her eagerly.
Allison, how did it go? he asked expectantly.
Without a word, Allison pushed the pill bottle and martial arts manual toward him.
Joseph snatched them up immediately and flipped open the manual with unrestrained excitement.
The moment he saw its contents, his expression shifted to one of astonishment.
This manual… this isnt ordinary at all, he said in awe.
As one of the Five Supremes, Joseph had an extremely discerning eye.
Ordinary martial arts manuals would not even catch his attention.
But the one Allison had brought back from Dustin was undeniably exceso much so that he found himself completely absorbed in it.
Excellent! Allison, this manual is perfect for you.
Dustin put real thought into this.
If you train diligently, your future achievements will be extraordinary, Joseph said after reading the manual.
Is that so? Allisons lips curved into a bitter smile.
After all, she had practically begged Dustin for these things.
No matter how extraordinary the manual was, its nature as a form of compensation soured it for her.
Joseph then turned his attention to the pill bottle and carefully opened it to reveal a crimson pill that emitted a refreshing aroma.
The scent alone invigorated the spirit.
This pill… Josephs face grew serious as he inspected it.

She only felt a quiet sense of loss.
