Chapter 2412
An Understated Dominance
After taking the enhanced serum, everyone became increasingly worked up. Their strength skyrocketed, and their thirst for battle was off the charts.
The atmosphere in the room was electric.
âIs this the Hall of Godsâ enhanced serum? This stuff is amazing.â
âI can already feel the power flowing through me. Iâm itching for a fight.â
âThose worthless Dragonmarsh martial artists-tonight, Iâll ensure theyâre wiped out completely.â
âSince you have such a treasure, why didnât you bring it out sooner? How much of this serum do you have left? Iâll buy it all.â Willemâs voice was full of swagger.
âThese are premium S-class serums. Theyâre extremely rare and reserved only for the higher-ups. We donât sell them to outsiders. What I can offer you are A-class serums. But, if youâre interested, I could send you a batch for free,â Bailey replied generously.
âIn that case, I wonât hold back.â
Willem laughed heartily.
Getting something for free was always the best deal. Whether for personal use or resale, it was an opportunity too good to pass up.
âMr. Grizz Lord, you canât be too biased. Our people in Eskus are also quite interested in this enhanced serum,â Vanzan chimed in.
âDonât worry. Once the mission is a success, the Hall of Gods will reward you generously. You wonât be left empty -handed,â Bailey promised.
At these words, everyone couldnât help but smile with satisfaction. Though they were allies, they were still working for the Hall of Gods. Without a reward, they wouldnât be all that eager to continue. Fortunately, Bailey had promised that there would be a hefty reward if the mission succeeded.
âAlright, itâs almost time. Letâs proceed as planned,â Bailey said with authority.
âGot it!â Everyone nodded and quickly dispersed.
The elites from each nation led their respective teams. Their objectives were clear-some were assigned to create distractions, others to lay ambushes or assassinate. Everyone had a role but would also support each other as needed.
The Hall of Gods had been planning this operation for a long time and ensured every detail was set for perfect execution.
In addition to the main forces, many external personnel were brought in to assist. Of course, they were little more than expendable pawns meant to draw enemy attention.
Once the main forces had left, Bailey stayed behind with Hank.
âHow are the arrangements on your side?â Bailey asked.
âMr. Bailey, Dustin, and his team are ready and waiting.â Hank lowered his head.
âDustin has outstanding talent and endless potential. If he devotes himself to the Hall of Gods, heâs definitely worth investing in.â Bailey suddenly changed his tone. âBut his background is unclear, and we canât trust him completely yet. Keep an eye on him, and be cautious.â
âDonât worry. He has already taken my specially formulated poison. His life is in my hands. If he makes any move that goes against us, heâll have no way out. Heâs smart and wonât risk his life,â
Hank replied.
âEither way, keep a close eye on him. If heâs trustworthy, put him to good use. If not, kill him before he becomes a problem.â Baileyâs eyes flashed with cold intent.
Dustin had great potential. By the time he was 30, he had already reached the level of ultimate grandmaster, with limitless potential ahead of him. If he had pledged his loyalty to the Hall of Gods, he could be an invaluable asset. Otherwise, he would have been a serious threat to them.
âUnderstood.â Hank nodded firmly. He didnât fully trust Dustin either. He was simply relying on the fact that Dustin had taken the poison, which gave him leverage over him. After all, no one would risk their life knowingly.
A massive fire suddenly broke out on Sacred Wyrm Summit in the dead of night. The flames were intense and quickly spread from the mountainâs base and raced upward. The bright blaze sliced through the darkness as thick smoke billowed into the sky.
Chaos quickly unfolded on the summit.
Disciples scrambled to put out the fire, and some martial artists who hadnât left yet jumped in to help. No one had expected something like this to happen on the heavily guarded Sacred Wyrm Summit.
As the people of Sacred Wyrm Summit scrambled to extinguish the flames, the forces from the Hall of Gods began to move silently.
One after another, assassination teams targeted the summitâs top martial artists. Some infiltrated the main hall, causing havoc, smashing everything in their path, and killing anyone they encountered.
In response, Sacred Wyrm Summit sounded the emergency bell and activated the mountainâs defensive formation.
Experts from all corners of the summit rushed to the main hall, whether in the field or seclusion, to stop the invaders.
Even the guards at the forbidden grounds had to leave their posts to lend a hand.
The summit was soon overwhelmed by chaos, with the air thick with the sounds of battle.
Despite Kadenâs preparations, the scale of the attack still caught him by surprise. The Hall of Gods had sent too many invaders, and Sacred Wyrm Summitâs forces were too few to hold them off.
Left with no choice, Kaden sent a distress signal and hoped the major guilds would send reinforcements to relieve the pressure.
While Sacred Wyrm Summitâs experts were busy fighting fires, several elite teams from the Hall of Gods quietly infiltrated the summitâs forbidden grounds.
