Chapter 959
Apparently, the location of Iris Meskill’s tomb had finally been found. It was rumored to be in the Black Forest.
When the news got out, many martial artists rushed to Lester to try their luck. After all, such opportunities were rare.
Meanwhile, in a sedan heading toward Lester, Dustin stared out the window, lost in thought. Abigail sat beside him, chatting nonstop.
“Dr. Watkins told you to take care of yourself and take your medicine on time. Remember not to use your true energy, or it could mess you up inside,” she said.
