An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2221

"I'm sorry. I can't answer that question because I don't know, either." Hank shook his head. He was already breaking the rules by telling them about the God King's involvement.

Furthermore, disclosing the God King's identity or whereabouts was out of the question.

In Dragonmarsh, even someone as powerful as the God King had to tread carefully. Any hint of their whereabouts, followed by an ambush from elites, would spell disaster.

"No problem. It's just a random question out of curiosity." Dustin simply shrugged it off with a faint smile.

"If there aren't any questions, how about we break for lunch? I've arranged a feast, and we can continue our conversation over food." Hank extended an invitation with a neutral expression.

"Sure." Dustin nodded.

"Let's go, everyone!" Hank called out before leading the group to the dining hall.

Everyone was famished after waiting all morning. They immediately indulged in the feast laid out before them.

Once they were full, Hank organized various entertainment to keep everyone occupied. Yet, he kept the mission timing vague and advised them all to stay on standby.

Dustin understood it was a precaution by the Hall of Gods against leaks.

After lunch, he came up with an excuse and left. He deemed the visit quite fruitful.

He had discovered the Hall of Gods' plan to infiltrate Sacred Wrym Summit's forbidden ground and became a spy in the process. He was prepared to adapt to unforeseen circumstances.

He also knew he couldn't take on the entire Hall of Gods team by himself. But he was ready to alert Sacred Wrym Summit if necessary and stopped the Hall of Gods' scheme.

Back at the tavern, Dustin was surprised to see someone inside. It was a woman with a pretty face but a strange presence.

"You're finally here?" he exclaimed in surprise.

As he assessed her appearance, he soon recognized who it was.

It was Grace, but she seemed different. She had changed her appearance again and assumed a different guise. If it weren't for his keen insight, he might not have recognized her.

"Oh? You figured it out fast? I was hoping to tease you a bit," she said with a faint smile. Then, she poured two cups of tea.
