An Understated Dominance - Chapter 260

Under Joshua’s impressive strength, the guests in the hall began to back away. It felt like heavy rocks were pressing on their chests, making it hard for them to breathe.

“Wow! Mr. Hummer is amazing. He’s already reached divinity!” one guest exclaimed. “He truly deserves to be called Boulderthorn’s genius. Achieving divinity before turning thirty is incredible!”

“Even though the difference between a low-level and a divine-level martial artist is just one word, the gap in strength is immense. This kid is strong, but he’s still nothing compared to Mr. Hummer,” another added.

The crowd buzzed with excitement as they witnessed Joshua’s commanding presence.

Suddenly, Tina, who was in the crowd, burst out laughing. “You jerk! How dare you make a scene at Hummer Villa? Take a good look in the mirror! Joshua, give him a beating for me!”

Jade smiled as she watched Joshua, her eyes filled with admiration. “I have great taste in men. He’s so cool.”

A divine-level martial artist in his twenties was a rare find anywhere. Plus, he was a direct disciple of Boulderthorn. He had talent, skills, and a great background. It was hard to find someone as promising as him in all of South City.

She felt proud of her choice. She believed that Joshua would definitely make a name for himself in the future. If he married her, he would have the full support of the Grant family. With their backing, he could become the next Tyler Grant.

Edwin chuckled, “The Hummer family has faced some tough times, but today is our chance to regain our prestige.”

From the second floor of the villa, Edwin watched the scene below with a proud smile on his face.

Could he not be happy with such a talented son?

“What? The Hummer family has a divine-level martial artist?” Istrid gasped in shock. As she looked at Joshua, who exuded confidence, her legs began to shake uncontrollably.

Divine-level martial artists were extremely rare. Achieving this level required not just hard work but also incredible talent. Many martial artists spent their whole lives trying to reach this level without success. But those who did achieve it found their lives completely transformed for the better.

Among the Harmon family’s shadow guards, there were more than a hundred martial artists, but only one had reached divine status—the commander of the guards.

“What should we do now, Isfrid? With a divine-level martial artist as our opponent, we won’t stand a chance, even if we all work together,” one of the shadow guards said, fear evident on their face.

Isfrid stayed quiet, her gaze shifting to Dustin. She desperately wanted to save Ms. Harmon, but with the Hummer’s divine-level martial artist present, retreat seemed inevitable.

Chapter 260

Joshua smirked when he saw Dustin fall silent. “Hey, kiddo! Are you scared now? You must be terrified! This is the difference between us. To me, you’re just an ant! I’m giving you a chance. If you want to live, you better kneel right now!”

He had kept a low profile since becoming a divine-level martial artist, which was why not many people knew about his power.

Today was the perfect opportunity for him to make a name for himself!

“So what? If you don’t let her go today, I will kill you!” Dustin shouted defiantly.

Joshua’s face was expressionless, as if he were staring at a lifeless body.

“Kill me?” he said with a scoff. “Kiddo, you really don’t understand how serious this is. Since you don’t seem to care about your life, let me help you!”

With that, he waved his hand, and a powerful burst of energy shot toward Dustin. Dustin didn’t move to dodge; he let the energy hit him, standing firm.

“Hmm?” Joshua squinted, a bit surprised.

When a divine-level martial artist unleashed energy, even a small attack was too much for a low-level martial artist to handle. The fact that Dustin could withstand it meant he was stronger than Joshua expected.

“I didn’t think you had such skills,” Joshua admitted. “It makes sense you could kill Judge. But it’s too bad you’re up against me! Today, you’ll see the difference between low-level martial artists and divine-level ones. Watch closely!”

With a grunt, Joshua leaped into the air like an eagle, aiming a slap at Dustin’s forehead.

The wind howled fiercely around him, and his clothes flapped wildly. The crowd stepped back, fearful of getting caught in the fight.
