An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Before any faction could enter the palace, a massive battle had already erupted. Each group was determined not to yield to others, with everyone vying for the first entry.

The logic was simple—the first one inside would naturally secure the most treasures.

At that moment, over a dozen forces were clashing violently, creating a scene of intense carnage.

In the face of tremendous wealth, the struggle for dominance reached a point where even strangers, let alone brothers, could turn on each other.

Using the name of the Drakes Dominion Order didn't cause much of a stir, given that the forces that managed to make their way here naturally had respectable backgrounds.

In the event of a full-blown conflict, everyone had a fair chance.
