Chapter - 5396

Dustin captured Poppy to threaten Declan because Dustin was out for revenge. Although he had disappeared over the years, his forces were still active. These people did not cause trouble for Poppy previously, so she could live in peace.

Now that Dustin was back, the first thing he did was to go after Poppy, which was too much.

“After so many years, you’re still as stubborn as ever. I’m very disappointed…” Declan sighed. He no longer wanted to waste his breath on Dustin. He would not interfere even if Dustin died here today.

“Haha, kill me if you can. Let me remind you that I’m the most powerful engraver in the world. If you kill me, the royal family will definitely hold you accountable!”

Dustin was very confident in his identity. The royal family would never let him die for no reason.

“You really underestimate me.” Declan smiled helplessly.

He did not have to rely on the royal family to survive now. He could have established his own force as a top-notch alchemist, but he was attached to the royal family for convenience.

After getting to know Philip, he decided to follow Philip and had forgotten all about the royal family!

Through his interaction with Philip, he knew that Philip would go to the legendary continent, which he had been longing for in his dreams. It would be worth his while if he could visit that continent. He would never be able to step foot on that continent with his strength alone, but he had great hope with Philip.

Dustin frowned at his brother’s arrogant tone and expression.

Something felt wrong…

He had never seen such a confident and arrogant expression on his brother’s face before, but he saw a trace of expectation and hope in Declan’s eyes today.

What gave him the courage?

Dustin was silent as he analyzed the situation. He achieved his current position due to his ability to observe others. He was able to attract people from the royal family and win their trust because he was very good at adapting to the situation, thus allowing him to reach the pinnacle of life step by step.

“You don’t have to worry about anything. You just need to remember that you’re not omnipotent. Even if you die here today, no one will care about you…”

After saying this, Declan sat in one corner. He did not intend to interfere in this matter.

It was true that he had conflicts with Dustin, but Poppy was the victim this time, so she would take revenge personally.

“Poppy is my apprentice. If she wants to kill you, I won’t blame her.”

Hearing that, a trace of despair flashed in Dustin’s eyes. He wanted to do something, but he could not do any engraving with so many people staring at him.

If he went all out, he could bring one or two people with him at the cost of his life.

With so many people around, it was impossible for him to leave safely.

Dustin was almost desperate by now.
