An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Dustin carefully examined the box and ensured there were no unusual markings before turning to Grace. He asked blankly, “Did you actually guess, or can you see what is inside?”

“Of course, I guessed it. I don’t have X- ray vision, so how could I see it?” She rolled her eyes.

“Amazing. I’m impressed.” He gave her a thumbs-up. Just from a guess, she was able to piece everything together. He couldn’t help but feel a bit outmatched by her sharp wit.

“So, is it really the enhanced serum in there?” Grace raised an eyebrow. She was surprised that her casual guess was accurate.

“See for yourself.” Dustin didn’t bother explaining further. He opened the box to show her the two red and blue vials inside.

“Oh? This is an S-class serum from the Hall of Gods. They certainly hold you in high regard.” Grace leaned in for a closer look, and she was genuinely surprised.

The Hall of Gods’ enhanced serums were ranked in five tiers-D, C, B, A, and the highest, S. Each level brought a tenfold increase in value and potency. Only gods and their key personnel at the god level or above had access to the S-class serum.

Since the Hall of Gods had given him two vials of S-level serum, it showed how much they valued him.

“They may value me, but it sure comes with its costs. I mean, they just forced me to drink a vial of poison.” Dustin shrugged.
