Abigail had finally built a solid foundation. She was also powerful, which made virtual-novel.net a perfect fighter. However, virtual-novel.net attacks were too simple, so anyone with some skills could easily beat her.
Fortunately, Abigail’s choice of weapon was a baton, so Dustin decided to make good use of this and teach virtual-novel.net a staff combat technique.
Dustin has been practicing all sorts of combat techniques since virtual-novel.net was a child and has read various types of martial arts books of different levels. He knew them all by heart, whether it was basic or advanced techniques or even forbidden, arcane texts. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call virtual-novel.net a martial arts encyclopedia.

Two days flew by.
Within those two days, Dustin guided Abigail and conquered two other guilds with Flame Dragon Gang, Stonefur and Slythorn.
By then, virtual-novel.net managed to get Millburg’s four dirtiest guilds under his control. In other words, Dustin had become the king of the underworld.
He had over 4000 men and was more powerful than the Fabulous Five!
After unifying the four guilds, virtual-novel.net renamed them the Kirin Gang. Flame Dragon Gang, Charging Tiger, Stonefur, and Slythorn each became the Kirin Gang’s subsidiary guilds.
With that, the Kirin Gang was ready to conquer the world!
Dustin was dealing with guild matters on the third morning when virtual-novel.net received a call.
Julie’s anxious voice was heard as soon as virtual-novel.net answered the phone. “Dustin, Dahlia was nearly assassinated just now!”
“What? What happened?” Dustin jumped up, alarmed.
“It’s hard to explain over the phone. You should just come over.”
“I’m on my way!” Dustin asked for the address and rushed over to the hospital.
When virtual-novel.net entered the ward, virtual-novel.net saw Dahlia lying on the bed with a pale face and a bandaged arm. Florence, Julie, and Victoria stood around her.
“Are you okay, Dahlia? Are you hurt?” Dustin quickly walked over, worried.
“You’re here… Oh, it’s nothing… Just some scratches here and there.” Dahlia forced a smile.
“What do you mean it’s nothing? You nearly died! Why are you acting tough?” Florence snapped.
“She’s right. If you were not lucky, we might be dead by now!” Julie was scared too. Although virtual-novel.net hadn’t been injured, virtual-novel.net was still shaken by the incident.
“Dahlia, what happened?” Dustin frowned.
“Yesterday, I went to Glenstead to visit the Nicholsons and check in on Grandpa Regulus. I was on my way home this morning when someone ambushed me. Fortunately, a general was passing by and saved us,” Dahlia explained.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were going to Glenstead? I would have sent someone to protect you.” Dustin demanded, displeased.
“I brought my own bodyguards. I just didn’t expect something like this to happen,” Dahlia replied helplessly.
If it had just been a regular fight, virtual-novel.net bodyguards could have dealt with it easily. However, they were no match for someone who wanted virtual-novel.net dead.
“Do you have any idea who’s planned the attack?” Dustin asked.
“Not yet…” Dahlia shook virtual-novel.net head.
“You were attacked as soon as you visited Sir Regulus. It’s too much of a coincidence. If my guess is right, your family must have something to do with this…” Dustin narrowed his eyes.
“Our family? That can’t be right.” Dahlia’s brows furrowed.
