An Understated Dominance - Chapter 264

“Let her go, Dustin! It’s your turn now!” Edwin struggled to control his anger. If Dustin hadn’t played such dirty tricks, they wouldn’t be in this mess!

“I never agreed to let anyone go,” Dustin replied, refusing to back down. “You kidnapped Ms. Harmon and hurt her family. Do you really think I’ll just let you off the hook?”

“Rhys, I’m warning you—don’t push this too far!” Edwin’s expression turned ugly. “This is the Hummer family’s territory. You’re dreaming if you think you can just walk away without consequences! I’m giving you a chance: let Josh go, and I won’t hold a grudge for what happened before. But if you don’t, you’ll leave here hurt!”

Jade chimed in, “He’s right! Let Josh go, or you’ll make an enemy of the Grant family!”

Dustin stayed silent for a moment, looking at Natasha. If she ordered it, he wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate Joshua. But Natasha calmly said, “Losing both arms will teach him a lesson. Let him live for now.”

She wanted to kill Joshua, but he was an important disciple of the Boulderthorn Guild and Jade’s fiancé. Killing him would only create more problems for her. Dustin would also become the target of the Boulderthorn Guild and the Grant family, and that would make things much more complicated.

Dustin nodded. “Okay, he can live, but he still has to face the consequences.” With that, he kicked Joshua hard in the stomach, sending him flying and howling in pain.

Edwin and the others rushed over, helping Joshua up. He spat out blood, his face twisted in agony. Through gritted teeth, he managed to say, “Dad, he—he destroyed my cultivation!”

earlier kick had shattered his core.

“What?” Edwin and the others gasped in shock. With Joshua’s cultivation and core destroyed, he would be left unable to walk properly. Edwin’s face turned red with anger as he yelled, “How dare you ruin my son’s future, you brat!” They could find ways to heal Joshua’s limbs, but a shattered core was irreversible.

“Dustin, you and your whole family are dead meat! From now on, you are the enemy of the Grant family! I will chase you to the ends of the earth!” Jade screamed, her face twisted with hatred. Joshua had been her ticket to a brighter future, and Dustin’s kick had destroyed it all.

“I bet you didn’t think karma would catch up with you after you bullied and harmed innocent people,” Dustin said calmly. “What goes around comes around—since you’ve hurt others, now it’s your turn to feel pain.”

“Dustin Rhys! From this day on, the Hummer family, the Grant family, and the Boulderthorn Guild will hunt you down! We won’t stop until you’re dead!” Edwin shouted.

“Bring it on. I want to see what you all can do,” Dustin replied without flinching. He could have easily killed Joshua with his sword, but he didn’t want to create more trouble for Natasha. Still, he had no plans to let the Hummer family escape unpunished. If they really pursued him, he would destroy them.

“Shoot him! Hurry!” Tina yelled.

“Yes, ma’am!” A group of bodyguards with guns quickly aimed at Dustin. But before they could fire, Dustin swung his sword. A bright beam of light shot toward them, cutting through their waists. In that moment, cries of pain filled the air. That was just a glimpse of Dustin’s power, and he had only just begun.

Dustin swung his sword with incredible strength, taking down more than twenty people in one powerful move. The crowd stared in shock, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.

“This… this can’t be happening,” they whispered, frozen in place.

Without wasting any time, Dustin turned to Natasha and the others. “Let’s go,” he said firmly. He made sure to keep an eye on them as they walked away. Tonight, he had delivered a crushing blow to the Hummer family. He felt unstoppable!
