Chapter 264 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âDustin, weâve already let her go, so itâs your turn!â Edwin tried his best to suppress his rage. If not for Dustin pulling such dirty tricks, he wouldnât be in this situation!
âI didnât say anything about letting anyone go.â Dustin obviously wasnât going to let the matter slide. âYou abducted Ms. Harmon and harmed members of the Harmon family. Do you think Iâll let you off the hook so easily?â
âRhys, Iâm waming youâdonât take this too far!â An ugly look crept onto Edwinâs face. âThis is the Hummer
familyâs territory; youâre dreaming if you think you can walk out of here unscathed! Now, Iâm giving you a chance. Let Josh go, and I wonât begrudge you for everything thatâs happened before this. Otherwise, you wonât step a foot out of here without getting injured!â
Jade added, âHeâs right! Let Josh go, or youâll be making an enemy out of the Grant family!â
Dustin didnât say anything and glanced at Natasha. If she were to give the order, heâd behead Joshua without batting an eye. However, Natasha said calmly, âLosing both arms is good enough to teach him a lesson. Leave him alive for now.â
She wanted nothing more than to kill Joshua, but he was an esteemed disciple of the Boulderthorn Guild and Jadeâs fiancé. If she were to take his life, sheâd only be causing trouble for herself. Dustin would also become public enemy number one to the Boulderthorn Guild and the Grand family. Things wouldnât be so easily resolved then.
Dustin nodded. âAlright. I can let him live, but he still has to pay for what heâs done.â With that, he kicked Joshua in the abdomen, sending him flying as he howled in pain.
Edwin and the others cried out his name and ran over to him, helping him up. He spat out a mouthful of blood as his face contorted in a mask of pain. He forced out through gritted teeth, âDad, heâhe destroyed my cultivation!â That earlier kick had shattered his core.
âWhat?â Edwin and the others were horrified. Joshua would be no different from a cripple with his cultivation and core destroyed. Edwinâs eyes bulged with rage as he roared. âHow dare you ruin my sonâs future, you brat!â They could find a way to reattach Joshuaâs limbs, but there was no way to recover from a shattered core.
âDustin, you and your whole familys dead meat! From this day onward, youâre the Grant familyâs biggest enemy! Iâll chase you to the ends of the earth!â Jade shrieked, her face filled with deep hatred. Joshua had been her ticket to a great future: Dustinâs kick had ruined everything.
âI bet you didnât think karma would come back to bite you in the ass when you bullied and murdered innocents. *Dustin said coolly. âWhat goes around comes aroundâsince you committed crimes against others, Iâm here to commit crimes against you and give you a taste of your own medicine.â
âDustin Rhys! From this day onward, the Hummer family, the Grant family, and the Boulderthorn Guild will be
out for your blood! We wonât rest until youâre dead!â Edwin roared.
âCome at me with everything you have. Iâd like to see what you have in store for me.â Dustin didnât even flinch. He wouldâve beheaded Joshua with the first swing of his sword if not for the consequences it would bring Natasha. Then again, he didnât intend to let the Hummer family off the hook. If they really chased him to the ends of the earth, heâd eradicate them.
âShoot him! Hurry!â Tina shrieked.
âYes, maâam!â A team of gunâ wielding bodyguards cocked their guns and aimed them at Dustin. However, before they could pull the trigger, Dustin swung his sword. A beam of light shot toward the bodyguards, slicing them clear through their waists. In that instant, pained cries pierced the air. That was only a portion of Dustinâs ability, and heâd taken out more than twenty people with a single swing of his sword!
âTâthisâ¦â Everyone else was dumbfoundedâthey didnât dare move.
âLetâs go.â Dustin didnât linger. He kept an eye on Natasha and the others to ensure their safety while walking out. Tonight, heâd singlehandedly dealt a devastating blow to the Hummer family. He was invincible!
