An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1999

Grace commanded, "Send someone over and break down this mural."

A group of bodyguards swiftly drew their weapons and began pounding on the mural. It crumbled under a barrage of forceful blows, revealing an ancient and sturdy bronze door.

At the center of the door, a fist-sized eye held everyone's gaze with its unsettling deep red glow, resembling a gem.

From the eye, a fan-like pattern spread out, breaking the bronze surface into eight sections. Each section was adorned with unique images.

The surface of the door featured unusual frog-like symbols. Their twisted and contorted shapes contributed to the overall mystique of the scene.

The leader of the envoy team turned to Grace, his expression curious. "Ms. Linsor?"

He paused, eyeing the red gemstone on the bronze door. Its value was apparent, making him cautious about any impulsive actions.

"Smash everything!" Grace was concise in her command.

They couldn't afford to give up if there was something behind that door easily. As for a single red gemstone, she didn't find it significant.

The leader of the envoy team signaled, prompting the team to grab their weapons swiftly.

They hacked and smashed the bronze door, but despite their persistent efforts, the sturdy door remained unyielding. It stood like an immovable mountain, rendering their attempts futile.

"Darn it! How is this possible? We can't even make it budge."
