Chapter 35

The Verdant Gang's headquarters main hall collapsed under the onslaught of the King of Hades' army, which surged in like a tidal wave. Rumble…

The noise above sent the gang members into confusion and panic. They quickly understood the cause, however. Light flooded in as the entire ceiling was ripped away. Massive helicopters lifted the ceiling into the sky. Dozens of attack helicopters then hovered above the Verdant Gang members, guns trained on them.

Bang!

Cannons roared. Turning, the gang saw massive tanks lined up behind Dustin, their cannons pointed at the executives. Through the gaps between the tanks, battleships on the river outside the headquarters awaited orders. The Verdant Gang was completely surrounded.

"What the?"

The executives' scorn moments before had morphed into astonishment and fear. The main hall couldn't contain such a terrifying force.

Lloyd shot up, his composure shattered. "What the hell?!" he exclaimed. Dustin had summoned this firepower after merely asking him to call his men! This was a small gang fight, not a war between nations!

Bella's mouth hung open, her eyes wide. The second daughter of the Wyatt family, a popular actress, usually treated Dustin like a dog, but this surpassed her wildest imaginings. Ultimately, she was just an average person, albeit a slightly successful one. Overwhelmed, she gasped for breath. This was Dustin's firepower? Who was he? Despite living together for over ten years, she'd never suspected his true strength.

Lloyd's face flushed red. The Verdant Gang, a criminal organization operating in a gray area, was facing tanks, attack helicopters, and battleships. It was utterly unnecessary—a gross overestimation of their threat. Turning ashen, he addressed Dustin: "Who exactly are you?"

Dustin stared icily, silent. The sweating executives racked their brains, wondering who in Lovellia possessed such power.

"He is the King of Hades!" Drake announced loudly.

"What?! He's the King of Hades?!"

The Verdant Gang was stunned, Bella included. The King of Hades led Hell Hall, the world's most powerful criminal organization. He was reputedly invincible. In eight years, Hell Hall rose from obscurity to dominance, leaving a trail of bloodshed and corpses. No one had ever defeated the King of Hades; his opponents rarely survived more than three attacks. This young man… was the King of Hades?

Fear gripped the Verdant Gang members. Hell Hall was legendary. Bella nearly forgot to breathe.

"The King of Hades…" she whispered, a storm of emotions raging within her. To the Wyatt family, Dustin had always been a freeloader, treated with contempt and disrespect for over ten years. The Wyatt sisters had scorned and disgusted him.
