An Understated Dominance 263

Chapter 263

After a short moment of astonishment, Joshua let out an ear–piercing scream. He sounded like a pig sent for slaughter.

“How dare you, you imbecile!” Edwin’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He couldn’t believe Dustin had the guts to chop Joshua’s arm off in front of everyone. He’d crossed the line!

“You–how dare you harm Josh!” Jade shrieked. How could a peasant like Dustin dare to rebel against them like this? Did he have a death wish?

“Rhys! You’re dead meat!” Tina screeched. Dustin had humiliated her before: now, Joshua was the one suffering. How could the Hummer family possibly face the world if they didn’t get revenge for this?

“Let her go,” Dustin said coldly.

“Fuck you! You have hell to pay for harming my brother!” Tina snarled.

Dustin didn’t waste his breath. Instead, he brandished his sword and swung it lightly, slicing Joshua’s other arm off. Blood splattered over the floor, and Joshua’s right arm landed in a pool of it. He howled again, his face contorting in a mask of pain. Sweat beaded on his forehead. Now, he was no different from a lamb up for slaughter. His earlier arrogance and dominance had dissipated.

“You abomination!”

“How dare you!”

“This is outrageous!”

Dustin’s second attack brought about more furious exclamations. It was bad enough that he’d chopped

Joshua’s left arm off; he’d now made things worse by chopping off the right one as well. It was an insult to the

Hummer family’s dignity and pride!

Amidst their fury, the members of the Hummer family came to a conclusion–Dustin was a madman!

“Let her go!” Dustin brandished his sword again. This time, he pressed it to Joshua’s neck. The cold, steely

look in his eyes made the onlookers subconsciously shudder. They’d seen their fair share of nefarious

characters, but this was their first time coming into contact with the cold, inhumane look in Dustin’s eyes. He

wasn’t mad, nor had he raised his voice.

On the contrary, he’d been calm and collected throughout the whole exchange. However, the more he acted

like that, the more terrifying it was. There was no doubt in everyone’s minds that he would behead Joshua if

the Hummer family didn’t do as he said.

“Let … let her go!” Edwin forced out through gritted teeth, ultimately choosing to give in. He couldn’t take this

bet, not with Joshua’s life on the line. He’d already witnessed how ruthless Dustin could be.

“Dad!” Tina couldn’t believe her ears. Were they, the almighty Hummer family, going to give in to a brat?

“I said, let her go!” Edwin turned to bellow at her. Nothing mattered more than Joshua’s life.

Tina bit her lip and loosened Natasha’s ties.

Chapter 263

As soon as she was free, Natasha gave Tina two tight slaps. Tina stared at her, dumbfounded. “That’s only the interest you owe me. I’ll collect the rest of my debt later.”

With that, she turned and strutted toward Dustin. She’d never been the type to suffer in silence–since she’d been slapped, she had to return the favor.

“Why, you- Tina gnashed her teeth, looking humiliated. Dustin and Natasha were too obnoxious for words!
