An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Everything occurred in a flash, from the appearance of the mutant piranha to the swallowing of a Black Scorpion Squad member, and then the disappearance of the mutant piranha.

It was so fast that no one could wrap their head around the incident.

The Black Scorpion Squad member that was swallowed disappeared before he could shout for help. All that was left were splashes on the lake's surface as blood gurgled up rapidly from below.

"W-What?" Dozer and the other member were shocked beyond words. Both of them widened their eyes in terror and looked around with a frightened expression.

What just happened? Where did their team member go? Why was there blood gurgling up from below?

"Why are you two still there? Swim for your life!" Recovering from his shock, Garrett yelled loudly.

"Yes... save ourselves!" Dozer and the other team member suddenly came to their senses.

They started flailing their arms and legs around as they swam toward the shore as fast as they could without a second thought.

At this time, everyone who was getting ready to jump into the lake was so stunned that they remained rooted to the ground.

Even though they didn't see what happened clearly, one thing was for sure. There was danger lurking in the lake.

The black and huge shadow that flashed through earlier, the Black Scorpion Squad member that disappeared, and the gurgling blood were enough to prove that there was a man-eating monster in the lake!

The mutant piranha leaped out again from the lake causing waves as Dozer and the other team member were trying their best to swim to safety.

This time, the mutant piranha was faster as it attacked from behind and it chomped on the head of the remaining Black Scorpion Squad member.
