“Dustin, I didn’t realize you had such hidden talent. It’s surprising that you could defeat our elites.” Hank studied Dustin for a moment before breaking into a smile.

He continued, “But I can’t blame you. The fault lies with Bill and Jeremiah for not being strong enough. As the saying goes, the victor takes all. It’s only natural they met such an end due to their lack of skill. I’m not here tonight to point fingers or hold you accountable.”

“Well, that’s reassuring.” Dustin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. ” Since you’re not here to cause trouble, what’s this visit about?”

“Honestly, your performance has caught the attention of the God King. He wants to formally invite you to join the Hall of Gods and help us accomplish our grand vision.” Hank smiled as he extended the invitation.

“Join the Hall of Gods?” Dustin was taken aback. He said hesitatingly, “Mr. Styles, that doesn’t seem right. I’m just a nobody from the mountains. How could I possibly be worthy of joining the Hall of Gods?”

“You’re being too modest, Dustin,” Hank said, sipping his tea. He smiled and continued, “A genius like you would be more than welcome in the Hall of Gods. I can promise you that if you join us, you’ll receive focused training and access to endless resources.”

The Hall of Gods had members from all over the globe. When it came to wealth and resources, they were unmatched, with a seemingly inexhaustible supply. So, Hank came to Dustin brimming with confidence.

“Mr. Styles, I appreciate the offer, but I’m used to my freedom. I don’t like being tied down, so I think I’ll have to pass.” Dustin shook his head and declined.

“Dustin, don’t be so quick to turn me down.” Hank set his teacup down.
