An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Chapter 2551

Bryce rushed into Nathaniel’s quarter and stumbled as he went. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and his face still wore the pallor of fear.

At that moment, Nathaniel was seated at his desk. He stared into the dim glow of a single lamp, lost in thought. Upon hearing the sound of frantic footsteps, he frowned and looked up.

“Y-Your Highness! Something terrible has happened,” Bryce stammered. He burst through the door and was too panicked to bother with formalities.

“What’s wrong?” Nathaniel asked with a frown, and he looked annoyed.

The mansion was so large that the explosion of the main gate earlier hadn’t alerted him.

“Your Highness, Zeus and Hera, the royal gods from the Hall of Gods, just barged in and attacked us. General Derin tried to stop them, but Zeus raised his hand and struck him with a lightning bolt. General Derin… He was killed on the spot.”

Bryce forced himself to calm his nerves and quickly recounted what had happened earlier. He had seen his share of battles, so he wasn’t easily frightened. However, Lycas’ sudden end had shaken him to his core.

In the blink of an eye, Lycas’ body exploded. He was obliterated, with only a few charred scraps remaining-his bones had completely turned into ash.

The brutal scene left a deep psychological scar on Bryce. He was a powerful grandmaster martial artist, but he was as helpless as an insect in front of Zeus. The overwhelming gap in strength shattered Bryce’s confidence.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Nathaniel snapped. “Why would the royal gods of the Hall of Gods come to my mansion and kill my men? You’ve got to be mistaken.”

His first instinct was to dismiss it as impossible. He had no personal conflict with anyone from the Hall of Gods. They’d even done some shady deals behind closed doors. 1

No matter how he looked at it, the Hall of Gods had no reason to target him. They even sent two royal gods his way.
