Chapter 360

Both Oliver and Brody felt their knees start to buckle.

"Why are such legendary beings here?" Luther's face was as white as a she

et as he

lamented inwardly. Had he known that he would meet these masters here, he

never would have come in the first place!

Everyone was silenced by the presence of the four major gods from the Hal

l of Gods. An

overwhelming, murderous aura permeated every inch of the place. The crowd

stood idly in place, and no one dared to speak, move, or even so much as

breathe loudly.

At that moment, they knew that they were no longer in control of their li

ves. And the fact was, they weren't wrong. Not in the least. In the prese

nce of the four major gods, their lives were as insignificant as ants. Be

neath their fear and terror, there was also a genuine curiosity as to wha

t exactly brought the four major gods there.

"Mr. Rhys, we know you're in there. Would you please come out to meet us?

" The four major gods stood in a row, and it was Athena who first broke t

he silence.

"How merry it is out here!" Rufus walked out with a glass of wine as he l

aughed heartily. "Since the Hall of Gods sent all four of you, I guess th

ey're really intent on ending me today!"

"Mr. Rhys, the Hall of Gods really admires talented people like you. As l

ong as you agree to join us, not only will you walk away unscathed

today, but you will also gain our protection!" Athena declared loudly.

"Haha! From what you're saying, I gather that you're proposing that I bet

ray my country?" Rufus asked with amusement.

"We can give you everything that Dragonmarsh has to offer and more! You w

ill be able to fully unleash your talents in Streuqua," Athena persuaded

unceasingly.

"I'll have you know, there are three things I'll never do. First, I'll ne

ver kill the weak, the old, women, and children. Secondly, I'll never put

up with corrupt bureaucrats. And finally, I'll never betray my

country. So, unfortunately, I'll have to disappoint you today." Rufus' sm

ile remained as wide as ever.

"If you do not

agree, then today is the day you'll meet your maker!" Athena's gaze was c

old.

"Are you able to kill me with just the four of you?" Rufus took a sip of

his wine.

"We might not be able to go to war against you, but there's nobody out th

ere who does a better job at assassinating than us!" Athena announced con

fidently.

"Cut the chit–

chat! I can't wait to get things started!" Ares laughed maniacally and be

gan to move. With an agile leap, he charged toward Rufus like a bullet.

"Get him!" With Athena's command, all of them charged toward Rufus immedi

ately. Though all four of them were major gods, none of them dared slack

off in the slightest because the person standing in front of them was som

eone worthy of being taken seriously by them.

"Major gods? Hah! I call bullshit on that!" Albert, who stood behind Rufu

s, scoffed. In one swift motion, he stepped in front of Rufus and met the

four major gods head–on.

In an instant, thunderous sounds echoed from all around as fierce gales h

owled unceasingly and waves of true energy swept across their surrounding

s. The members of Royal Valor backed off as quickly as

they could, lest they got caught in the middle.

Dustin stood at the entrance to the medical center and squinted as he wat

ched the battle between the five of them. The Rhys family had three great

generals, namely the Sword Whisperer, the Executioner, and the Drunken

Maniac. Out of the three of them, the Sword Whisperer was undoubtedly the

most powerful. However, the most ruthless of them all was none

other than Albert, the Executioner. Albert had reached peak level grandma

stery ten years ago. Now that ten years had passed, he'd refined his skil

ls so much more that he was on par with the four major gods.

"Oh my goodness! Who's this old fella? How can he hold up against the fou

r major gods so well?" Oliver and Brody were

amazed by what they saw. From their point of view, the four major gods we

re deities who had total control during any battle! And when four such un

rivaled beings teamed up and were

still no match for an old man, it was truly mystifying!

"Damn it! I'm lucky I didn't barge into the medical center earlier on! I'

d be dead meat if I did!" Clement broke out in a cold sweat when he saw t

he ongoing fight. Never in

his dreams had he ever thought that there would be such a powerful master

in the tiny medical center! He wouldn't

even know how he died if he actually went and challenged such a person!

Hang on… The old man was someone from Peaceful Medical Center. And Peacef

ul Medical Center belonged to Dustin. Could it be possible that Dustin wa

s somehow related to the old man? Ashen-

faced, Clement dared not even continue his train of thought.
