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.
“Is this the Hall of Gods’ enhanced serum? This stuff is amazing.”
“I can already feel the power flowing through me. I’m itching for a fight.”
“Those worthless Dragonmarsh martial artists-tonight, I’ll ensure they’re wiped out completely.”
“Since you have such a treasure, why didn’t you bring it out sooner? How much of this serum do you have left? I’ll buy it all.” Willem’s voice was full of swagger.
“These are premium S-class serums. They’re extremely rare and reserved only for the higher-ups. We don’t sell them to outsiders. What I can offer you are A-class serums. But, if you’re interested, I could send you a batch for free,” Bailey replied generously.
“In that case, I won’t hold back.”
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.
“Mr. Grizz Lord, you can’t be too biased. Our people in Eskus are also quite interested in this enhanced serum,” Vanzan chimed in.
“Don’t worry. Once the mission is a success, the Hall of Gods will reward you generously. You won’t be left empty -handed,” Bailey promised.
At these words, everyone couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction. Though they were allies, they were still working for the Hall of Gods. Without a reward, they wouldn’t be all that eager to continue. Fortunately, Bailey had promised that there would be a hefty reward if the mission succeeded.
“Alright, it’s almost time. Let’s proceed as planned,” Bailey said with authority.
“Got it!” 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.
“How are the arrangements on your side?” Bailey asked.
“Mr. Bailey, Dustin, and his team are ready and waiting.” Hank lowered his head.
“Dustin has outstanding talent and endless potential. If he devotes himself to the Hall of Gods, he’s definitely worth investing in.” Bailey suddenly changed his tone. “But his background is unclear, and we can’t trust him completely yet. Keep an eye on him, and be cautious.”
“Don’t worry. He has already taken my specially formulated poison. His life is in my hands. If he makes any move that goes against us, he’ll have no way out. He’s smart and won’t risk his life,”
Hank replied.
“Either way, keep a close eye on him. If he’s trustworthy, put him to good use. If not, kill him before he becomes a problem.” Bailey’s 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.
“Understood.” Hank nodded firmly. He didn’t 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 mountain’s 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 hadn’t 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 summit’s 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 mountain’s 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 Kaden’s preparations, the scale of the attack still caught him by surprise. The Hall of Gods had sent too many invaders, and Sacred Wyrm Summit’s 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 Summit’s experts were busy fighting fires, several elite teams from the Hall of Gods quietly infiltrated the summit’s forbidden grounds.
