My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness



Robert's tone was nonchalant.

He was not being dismissive. Rather he was confident of his invincibility.

Years of grueling training in the snowy mountains had honed his abilities to the Advanced Martial Saint level which was enough for him to overwhelm any prodigies of his generation.

"Your abilities are indeed impressive, but don't let overconfidence blind you," Lord Barbenheim said in warning. "Remember, there's always someone stronger. The surviving descendant of the Fox family is also far more powerful than his peers. He will be your greatest opponent if he joins the competition."

Robert merely chuckled in response.

"The Fox family? Why does that matter? The Fox family of old may have had some strength, but didn't you crush them with a wave of your hand? "Even if this mere surviving descendant of theirs has mastered their martial arts techniques, he holds no threat. Besides, anything he knows, I know as well. In fact, I've perfected the Fox family techniques far beyond what he could ever achieve!"

In the shadows, Dustin's face darkened in anger.

He was now certain that Lord Barbenheim had played a significant role in the Fox family massacre over two decades ago.

Moreover, he had gained access to parts of their martial arts techniques...

Robert had clearly benefited from the stolen Fox family techniques...

"You are never to mention that you've cultivated the Fox family martial arts techniques to outsiders!" Lord Barbenheim barked. Robert nodded.

"Escort James out," Lord Barbenheim said.

"Thank you, Your Highness," James said and bowed deeply to both Lord Barbenheim and the Divine Hall's Martial King before following Robert out. Dustin's face darkened as he disappeared from the treetops.

Once the others left, Lord Barbenheim and the Divine Hall's Martial King exchanged knowing glances. In a flash, the Divine Hall's Martial King flew out from the courtyard.

James continued to flatter Robert on their way out. He was desperate to get on his good side.

Robert was unimpressed. He maintained a cold expression and urged him to hurry up.

After leaving the Barbenheim Institution, they got into a car that sped off toward its destination.

Robert had been tasked with escorting James to the airport, where he would board a flight back to Central Harbor.

Dustin followed them silently from the shadows.

Once the car left the vicinity of the

institution, Dustin stepped into th

middle

the road, stood there, and

waited with his hands clasped behind his back.

He had held back inside the institution.

Although it seemed safe on the surface, the institution was filled with hidden traps and countless guards.

Lord Barbenheim's preparations might have gone unnoticed by others but not by Dustin's sharp senses.

Lord Barbenheim's estate was steeped in a century of heritage.

Everyone in Lovellia knew of its legendary status.

Rumor had it that during a chaotic

war years ago, an army of thousands surrounded the Barbenheim Institution and

swn the

l

exhausted every tactic to breach it, only to suffer heavy losses

end.

The institution was said to be fortified with countless advanced weapons of mass destruction...

Even with Dustin's near-divine abilities, he would not take action alone.

But with Robert and James outside, there was an opportunity to apprehend them.

He wanted to capture Robert and gain an upper hand on the Barbenheim Institution.

Not long after, the car approached him.

Robert showed no surprise when he spotted Dustin standing in the middle of the road. It was as if he had anticipated this. "Run him over," he ordered.

The driver of the car in front of them

immediately slammed on the accelerator and the car rocketednoveldrama

forward at over 130mph. It hurtled toward Dustin like a cannonball.

UMS

Dustin stood motionless with a calm and indifferent expression.

In an instant, the car was upon him.

Ring!

A golden glow erupted around Dustin and formed an enormous golden bell that enveloped him.

Boom!

The car crumpled like a soda can hitting a concrete wall and was reduced to a mangled heap of metal in an instant.
