An Understated Dominance Chapter 2637

Chapter 2637

Nathaniel’s face was grim. He dared not linger and quickly led his men away until they reached a safer clearing. Only then did the survivors dare to exhale, the tension leaving them in heavy sighs.

A single careless touch—a flower—and the entire jungle had erupted into chaos. The chain reaction was beyond belief. Now, at last, they understood.

This place, with its dazzling beauty, was a death trap at every turn.

“Rest here. Stay alert,” Nathaniel ordered, panting as he leaned against his sword. The wound on his back throbbed, sweat soaking through his tunic. His vision swam with the pain, but he forced himself steady.

Two personal guards took positions as sentries. Around them, the medical officer worked swiftly, binding torn flesh and dousing vine wounds with bitter-smelling powder. Smoke hissed up as the medicine touched corrupted skin, drawing pained cries from hardened soldiers.

Nathaniel closed his eyes briefly. In minutes, more than a dozen of his best men had fallen. The loss weighed heavily on him.
