An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Dustin glanced at the vial of poison. He hesitated briefly before nodding. Since Mr. Styles thinks highly of me, I should show my commitment.” 11

He picked up the vial, twisted off the cap, and downed the poison in one go without leaving a drop behind. To make sure Hank could see clearly, Dustin tipped the bottle upside down to show it was empty.

Dustin’s body was immune to most toxins, so this tiny dose didn’t concern him.

Hank laughed heartily at the sight. ” You’re really bold!”

Drinking the poison would prove Dustin’s commitment to joining the Hall of Gods, and it was the only way to earn their trust. No matter how convincing his words were, they would mean nothing without that act of loyalty.

While the Hall of Gods valued talent, loyalty was their top priority. Only those who proved their unwavering commitment would be granted special training.

Hence, the most effective way was to put one’s life in their hands. This was a reality that everyone faced, including Hank. When a mission was assigned, they all had to take the poison first as a testament to their allegiance.

“Mr. Styles, I’ve shown my sincerity. What do you need me to do next?” Dustin asked again.

He surmised that the Hall of Gods had something up their sleeve, but the details remained murky. He needed to understand their detailed strategy to prepare himself properly. Otherwise, what he had done earlier would be for nothing.

“You don’t need to do anything for now. Just concentrate on honing your skills for tomorrow’s match,” Hank said with a smile.

He continued, “Given your talent and the enhanced serum, you have a solid chance of winning. I’ll reveal our full plan once you defeat the other contestants and claim the championship. Then, you’ll see just how great the Hall of Gods truly is.”
