An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Bryce knew Dustin was strong, but this was beyond anything he anticipated. Though he had gained the upper hand early on, Bryce still believed his skills matched Dustin’s.

From his observation, Dustin relied on martial arts techniques and hit-and-run tactics. Plus, he didn’t dare to confront Bryce head-on.

He had assumed that as long as he found an opening, he could exploit Dustin’s weaknesses and defeat him. But when Dustin finally stopped holding back, Bryce realized how wrong he’d been.

It turned out Dustin wasn’t just playing hit -and-run tactics. Instead, he’d held back the entire time to spare Bryce from an embarrassing defeat.

The moment Dustin stopped holding back, Bryce didn’t stand a chance. Even without special techniques, Dustin’s raw power, speed, and reflexes were enough to crush him.

The difference in their abilities was staggering, so much so that no amount of skill could close the gap.

And it wasn’t just Bryce who was shocked. Except for Nathaniel, who had already expected this outcome, everyone else was stunned.

They hadn’t anticipated that after Dustin went all out, it would take only one strike to defeat Brycе.

After all, Bryce was a battle-hardened grandmaster martial artist. Among his peers, he was considered one of the best.

Sure, his aggressive assault had drained him of some energy, but none of that mattered when Dustin landed his punch.

Everyone couldn’t deny that they had underestimated the seemingly unassuming Dustin.
