An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Chapter 2571

Zeus’ bloodlust was rising fast. He realized he’d been played for a fool. His obsession with the breakthrough technique was the only reason he hadn’t made his move earlier.

Now it hit him that Grace’s promises were all lies. The supposed breakthrough was just an excuse to buy time. The more he thought about it, the deeper his anger grew, and with it came the deadly urge to strike.

“Yes. I was trying to extend Logan’s life… But the breakthrough method is real,” Grace said calmly.

She continued, “You should’ve noticed by now that I’m a disciple of Regal Observatory. Across Dragonmarsh, only two people have reached beyond the ultimate grandmaster level.

“The first is Arion, Ancient Sage of Sacred Wrym Summit, and the second is Ezekiel, chief overseer of Regal Observatory. As royal gods of the Hall of Gods, I’m sure you’ve heard this before.

“If Ezekiel managed to break through past the ultimate grandmaster, then of course, he had a special technique. And since I’m his disciple, I happen to know about it. So no, I’m not lying to you.”

At her words, Zeus’ expression finally softened. The crackling lightning at his fingertips slowly faded.

As Grace had said, there were only two people in Dragonmarsh he truly feared. One was Arion from the Sacred Wrym Summit, and the other was Ezekiel, chief overseer of Regal Observatory.

If anyone else had made that claim, he wouldn’t have believed it. But Grace was a disciple of the Regal Observatory and a princess of Dragonmarsh. She knew Ezekiel’s breakthrough technique, so her words had weight.

“Talk is cheap,” Hera said coolly. “Until we see the breakthrough technique, we won’t believe a thing you say.”
