Madison stared at Dustin in astonishment.
He was being far too casual about this.
Advancing from the Amber to the Mystic rank was not too difficult.
With steady progress, she could confidently achieve Mystic rank in her lifetime.
But the Emerald rank? That was a completely different story.
It was true that the upper echelon of the Outlaws Department, the core of its power, was almost unattainable.
As for the legendary Sapphire rank, it was practically a myth.
No one even knew if Sapphire agents actually existed.
Yet, Dustins calm and indifferent gaze left her in a daze.
His words echoed in her mind.
I hesitated, I retreated, and I betrayed my own convictions.
Realization struck her like a bolt of lightning.
What does it matter there are challenges? As long as I stay true to myself, theres nothing in this world that cant be changed! Determination reignited in Madisons eyes.
Dustin saw the ambition blazing within her and nodded approvingly.
Dustin, dont think you can get away scot-free just because you helped me, Madison suddenly said with her sharp gaze focused on him.
Even if you had your reasons for killing the others, even if it was for vengeance, murder is still murder.
Your sins cant be erased, and youll still have to face the laws of Lovellia.
From this moment on, Ill do everything in my power to rise to the top.
Once Ive reformed the entire Outlaws Department, Ill see to it that youre brought to justice! Dustin responded with a faint smile.
If Madison had given up her pursuit because of this, he would have looked down on her.
He might have felt that he had saved the wrong person.
He had chosen to help her because of her conviction and potential.
Despite being younger than him, Madisons achievements were extraordinary.
In any other context, she would be considered a peerless prodigy.
More importantly, she had conviction and perseverance.
Those qualities set her apart from the pampered heirs of powerful families.
The Outlaws Department, as a sprawling government organization, could not be easily dismantled.
Even Dustin, with all his resources, would struggle to bring it down.
Moreover, he needed access to the Outlaws Departments classified files.
It was in the highest level of their vault.
Perhaps within those sealed files lay the truth behind the annihilation of the Fox family… If Madison can really shake things up, let her.
If she throws the Outlaws Department into chaos, itll only make things easier for Hell Hall, Dustin thought to himself, As for Madisons threats? He dismissed them entirely.
Arrest him? Even if she became the leader of the Outlaws Department, it would not concern him in the slightest.
If that day ever came, he would consider himself unworthy of the title King of Hades.
Ill make a name for myself in the upcoming martial arts competition.
Ill strive to become the disciple of the Dragon Supreme, Madison declared solemnly.
She was not naive.
She knew the importance of leveraging power.
Her backing within the Outlaws Department was weak, but becoming the Dragon Supremes disciple would change everything.
It would make achieving her targets at least ten times easier.
A wise choice, Dustin said with a faint smile.
But with your current abilities, youll need more to shine and catch Josephs attention.
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
A manual and a pill flew toward her.
Madison caught them.
She seemed surprised.
Even without extensive knowledge, she could tell these were no ordinary items.
Dustin, I owe you a great debt… she said firmly.

In the future, as long as it doesnt violate my principles of justice, Ill do one thing you ask.
You just name it! With that, she turned and left as she clutched the gifts tightly.
Dustin watched her leave with a meaningful smile.
