Dahlia Nicholson and Dustin Rhys Novel
Chapter 615

Chapter 615

For the next few days, Dustin occupied himself with investigating James' death. Someone had murdered James and framed him for the former's death.

Although he didn't know who the true killer was, he could at least guess their intentions. They wanted to send him a warning, as well as make others turn against him. A stab in the back was always the hardest to anticipate.

Dustin had also tried approaching Dahlia several times, but she still refused to see him. He knew that before the real murderer was revealed, there was no way they could peacefully talk to each other. On the third morning, Dustin stood at the edge of the battle ring in Flame Dragon Dojo as he studied the black needle.

The needle was forged from dark steel and had been dipped in poison. If the needle managed to prick into a person's skin, it would cause an instant death, which was why James' death had been so sudden. But the question was, "Who did the needle belong to?"

"Sir..."

Right then, Nelson barged into the dojo, carrying a copy of the test results.

"Well, how did things go?" Dustin slowly raised his head.

"As you ordered, I swapped James' body and ordered an autopsy. Here are the results." Nelson handed the document over politely.

"I knew it." Dustin wasn't surprised by the results, which stated that James' death hadn't been a natural event.

"Sir, since we have the murder weapon and autopsy, we can prove your innocence," Nelson said with a smile.

"Things aren't that simple. Just having these two won't be enough to regain someone's trust." Dustin shook his head.

Even with all this evidence, it wouldn't be enough to convince Dahlia if he couldn't catch the real murderer.

"I've also looked at the hospital's surveillance footage. I didn't replace anyone suspicious the night James was hospitalized. It'll be difficult to replace the killer." Nelson sighed.

"Keep digging. If there weren't any suspicious outsiders, start looking into the doctors and nurses at the hospital. Go through every person who entered the ward that night" Dustin ordered gravely "Of course, sir," Nelson answered, and he immediately started making some calls.

"Oh, right. Today's the third day, isn't it? I should visit the Doyle family now." Dustin carefully put away the black needle and slowly got up.

"Sir, why don't you give it some thought again? If you lose, your life will be in danger!" Nelson pleaded. Of all people, Dustin had to challenge Terry. This was nothing but suicidal!

"Why do you think I'll lose?" Dustin had a faint smile on his face.

"I don't just think so, I know so." Nelson nodded, his expression serious.

"Aww, have a little faith in me, Nelson." Dustin patted Nelson's shoulder and grinned. "It's just Terry. Watch as I use the Doyle family as a stepping stone for our gang's success! Come, let's go to the Doyle family mansion!"

As noon approached, the Doyle family mansion quickly became packed with people as news about the challenge caused a huge commotion. After letting the news brew for the past three days, everyone was hyped up for the battle, and countless elite fighters flocked to the scene, eager to witness Terry's power.

Even before dawn, tons of people had crowded the Doyle family mansion. And as if they had anticipated this, the Doyle family began selling entrance tickets at a hundred thousand dollars per ticket. The Doyle family was clearly using this opportunity to make money while showing off their strength.
