An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Brian’s lethal strike sent a chilling message to the group of assassins.

Despite their numbers, around 30 or 40 carefully chosen elites, nearly half of them were killed with just one blow.

Brian’s formidable strength instilled fear in the remaining assassins.

Prior to their arrival, the assassins had gathered intelligence that the elite fighters of the nearby Celestial Alliance had been deployed elsewhere.

Seeing the vulnerability in the defenses surrounding Alicia and Aurora, they perceived an opportunity for assassination. Unbeknownst to them, a young powerhouse lay concealed within the villa.

After delivering the strike, Brian forcefully drove the handle of his halberd into the ground, creating a crater between them.

“Who else dares to step forward and face their end?” he demanded coldly,

His words resounded like thunder and caused the assassins to recoil instinctively.

“Hmph! You fools dare to act recklessly on the Celestial Alliance’s territory. Who gave you the audacity?” Brian continued to taunt. It was as if he was a lone defender against an unbreakable force.

He bellowed, “Here’s your chance. Get down on your knees, surrender, and reveal the mastermind. Perhaps I’ll spare your lives. Otherwise, expect no mercy.”

“At such a young age, your voice certainly carries quite a presence!”

Suddenly, a wise and authoritative voice sounded out of thin air. It commanded attention despite its volume, which overshadowed Brian’s words and was clearly heard by everyone.
