My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

Dustin actually knew that there was a secret in the backyard of the Wyatt fatnily villa. Lucas had mentioned it to him while he was still alive.

Lucas had told him that there was a great secret hidden inside. He had also told Dustin that he was not supposed to enter the secret room without his permission.

Dustin was only allowed into the first room three years after his death.

Dustin had always abided by Lucas’s will and never got closer to the secret room.

But the three years were up.

The Wyatt sisters sneered outside the secret room.

The secret room was dangerous, and they did not dare enter it.

“Dustin will most likely die from the traps in the secret room,” Clara said coldly. “Even if he manages to survive out of pure luck, we wouldn’t lose anything. We’ll learn what Dad left behind. Perhaps the treasure is inside!”

“Killing two birds with one stone! Clara, you’re so smart!” said Elisa as she smiled and praised her.

Delia and Elisa watched Dustin enter the secret room, and their faces turned cold.

Honestly, they wanted to see Dustin die inside more than they wanted the treasure.

Dustin cautiously stepped forward into the secret room.

Lucas was the one who had set up the traps here. Even Dustin would not dare to be careless.

Whoosh!

Numerous arrows shot forward. There was practically nowhere to hide.

Dustin remained calm. He swung his arms in a slicing motion and broke the arrows.

With his strength, he could easily catch bullets. Naturally, he was not scared of these arrows.

Once he passed the arrow trap, an endless rain of weapons came at him from all directions.

Dustin spun at high speed and stirred up a whirlwind. Once again, he easily got through the trap.

Then, he ran into a fire trap, a rolling stone trap, and other such traps.

Other martial artists who were below sovereign grade would have died. Even sovereign grade fighters would have been in danger, with the risk of death.

But Dustin got through all the traps. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Dustin passed through the first passage of the secret room and headed to the deepest area.

There was a stone pedestal, and some objects were on it.

Dustin saw the legendary treasure of the Wyatt family.

It was a signet ring with an emerald, and it shone brilliantly,

“This is the thing that can command the eight ancient martial families and contains the secret to a great

treasure.” Dustin’s face did not change at the realization. He just picked up the ring and shot a glance at it before returning it to its original spot.

“So, this is the thing I have been risking my neck to protect for years…” Dustin chuckled.

Plenty of people had fought fearlessly for the Wyatt family treasure. Even elites who stood over everyone else went after it at great personal cost.

But even someone like Dustin felt tired of protecting the Wyatt family for years.

Dustin did not intend to take the ring.

There was a letter beside it. There were four words written on the front.

[For my son, Dustin.]

This was the letter Lucas had left for him.

The letter was locked within the stone pedestal. There was a hand–shaped hole beside it. Dustin put his hand in the hole, and it fit perfectly. The stone pedestal then released the letter.

“If my adoptive father wanted me to take the signet ring, I’ll take it. If he didn’t, I won’t even look at it, even if it’s something amazing,” Dustin mumbled and opened the letter.

[Dustin, I’ve been dead for three years now.]

That was the very first sentence in the letter.

Lucas knew Dustin well. He knew that Dustin would never disobey his wish.

[By now, you must have left the Wyatt family and cut ties with my daughters.]

Dustin was surprised when he read the second sentence.

Lucas had predicted it?

He must have known how the Wyatt sisters were.

[I’ve always upheld my principles and never did anything wrong. But I’ve failed in three aspects: my marriage, my children, and my best friend.

[Dustin, the treasure of the Wyatt family is, in fact, the treasure of the Fox family.]

Dustin froze.

Lucas’s words caught him off guard.

He took a moment to compose himself and continued reading.

[The emerald signet ring had been passed down through generations in the Fox family, and plenty of people covet it. In the past, the Fox family was really strong, and no one dared to try to take the ring for themselves, no matter how much they wanted it. But when it was passed down to my generation, the Fox family had weakened. Even then, it was still one of the strongest families in the world.

[But twenty–five years ago, someone framed the Fox family, and seventy–six forces of power worked together to barge into the Fox family villa. Overnight, a hundred or so members of the Fox family were killed. When I arrived, no one was left alive. I followed the trail left behind by your father and found both you and the signet ring in a hidden tunnel. At that time, you were only three months old…]
