An Understated Dominance - Chapter 478

Dustin’s fist was much smaller than Flint’s, but that didn’t stop Flint from sneering. “You’re asking for it!” he said coldly. With a surge of energy, Flint swung his arm, and their fists collided with a loud explosion.

Dustin stood firm, not moving an inch. Cracks appeared beneath his feet. In contrast, Flint grunted as he was thrown backward, crashing into the wall and leaving a large dent behind him.

Blood dripped from Flint’s punch, and he realized his bones were shattered. He couldn’t move anymore. After a couple of seconds, he coughed up blood and slowly slid down the wall like wet mud.

“How is that possible?!” Duncan exclaimed, shocked by the scene. Flint, though not as strong as Cobalt, was ranked thirteenth among the Hundred Immortals. Yet, he had been knocked back by just one punch from Dustin.

Was this kid really that strong?

Cobalt frowned as he saw Flint’s condition. He had thought his appearance would be simple, but now he faced a serious opponent.

If someone could defeat Flint with a single blow, they must be as strong as he was. Cobalt knew he had to take this seriously.

“Young man, you’re quite skilled. Who is your teacher?” he asked.

With such power at a young age, Dustin must have come from a well-known martial arts guild. Cobalt needed to find out if this was someone he should be careful around.

“I don’t belong to any guild,” Dustin replied casually.

Cobalt’s eyes widened in surprise. If that was true, it was even more concerning. “Young man, I think you’re a—”

Cobalt smiled lightly and said, “I don’t want to hurt you. If you apologize to Duncan today, I’ll let it go. How does that sound?”

As a seasoned martial artist, Cobalt had his own philosophy. He believed that if he didn’t know much about his opponent, it was better to avoid a fight if he could.

Duncan frowned, clearly upset. “Master Sander, what are you talking about? I want you to break his legs, not ask for a simple apology!”

Cobalt’s expression turned cold. “Are you trying to tell me what to do? Just because I owe you a small favor doesn’t mean I have to risk my life for you.”

Duncan looked dark but didn’t argue back.

Cobalt turned to Duncan again. “So, what do you say, young man?”

Dustin, with a slight smile, replied, “An apology is fine, but he owes me an apology, not the other way around.”

Cobalt raised an eyebrow. “Young man, I’m already making a concession. Don’t push your luck. You may come from a strong background, but I’m not just anyone. Have you heard of the Hill family, one of the Tremendous Three? I used to be their fighter!”

Dustin was surprised. “The Hill family?”

Cobalt nodded. “It seems you know their power. Let’s both take a step back and keep things friendly. Otherwise, this won’t end well for anyone.”

Dustin then pulled out an emerald badge. “Since you were the Hill family’s fighter, I’m sure you recognize this.”

Cobalt’s eyes widened in shock as he saw the badge. “The Consultant Badge?!” Suddenly, he dropped to one knee, kneeling on the floor in disbelief.

with a loud thud.
