Chapter 260

Under Joshua’s impressive prowess, the guests in the hall involuntarily retreated. A crushing weight pressed on their chests, making their breathing heavy.

“Damn! Mr. Hummer is impressive. He’s already achieved divinity!”

“He’s truly deserving of the title ‘Boulderthorn’s genius.’ To achieve divinity before thirty, he’s a terrifying man.”

“Although a low-level and a divine-level martial artist differ by only a word, the disparity in strength, like their names, is like heaven and earth. This kid is strong, but he’s still a weakling compared to Mr. Hummer.”

The crowd erupted in frenzied discussion as they witnessed Joshua’s imposing presence and arrogance.

At that moment, Tina, among the crowd, burst into laughter. “You fucking bastard! How dare you cause a scene at Hummer Villa? Look at yourself in the mirror! Give him a good beating for me, Joshua!”

Jade smiled, her lips curling upward. She looked at Joshua with affection. “I have good taste in men. He’s so cool.”

A divine-level martial artist in their twenties was a desirable catch anywhere. He was, after all, Boulderthorn’s direct disciple. Talent, skills, background—he had it all. Such a promising individual was rare in South City.

She was proud and pleased with her choice. Her man would definitely make a name for himself. As long as Joshua married her, he would receive the full support of the Grant family. With their focus on nurturing him, he could potentially become the second Tyler Grant.

Edwin chuckled heartily. “The Hummer family has experienced consecutive setbacks, but today we restore our prestige.”

From the second floor of the villa, Edwin watched the scene unfold below, a proud smile adorning his face. How could he not be happy with such a talented son?

Istrid paled in shock. “What? The Hummer family has a divine-level martial artist?” As she took in Joshua’s commanding presence, her legs trembled involuntarily.

Divine-level martial artists were exceedingly rare. It wasn't something achievable through sheer effort; exceptional talent was also required. Some practitioners spent their entire lives without attaining divinity. However, once achieved, it transformed their lives.

The Harmon family’s shadow guards numbered over a hundred, yet only the commander had achieved divinity.

The shadow guards behind her wore terrified expressions. “Isfrid, what should we do now? With a divine-level martial artist as our opponent, we’re no match for him, even combined.”

Isfrid remained silent, looking at Dustin. Although she desperately wanted to save Ms. Harmon, with Hummer’s divine-level martial artist present, retreat was inevitable.

Joshua was smugly pleased to see Dustin fall silent. “Hey, kiddo! Afraid now? Terrified? This is the disparity between us. To me, you’re a mere ant! I’ll give you a chance. If you don’t want to die, kneel immediately!”

He’d remained hidden since becoming a divine-level martial artist, explaining why few knew. Today was his opportunity to make a name for himself.

Dustin’s face was stone. “So what? If you don’t let her go, I will kill you!” He looked at Joshua as if he were already dead.

Joshua scoffed. “Kill me? Kiddo, you haven’t grasped the situation’s gravity. Since you don’t value your life, allow me!”

He waved his hand, and a burst of violent energy ripped toward Dustin with full force. Dustin didn’t dodge, remaining unmoved as the energy crashed into him.

Joshua narrowed his eyes, slightly surprised. “Hmm?”

When a divine-level martial artist manifested energy externally, even a minor attack was too much for a low-level martial artist. His opponent’s ability to withstand the attack meant he was highly skilled.

“I didn’t expect such abilities. No wonder you killed Judge. But you’re facing me! Today, you’ll witness the difference between low-level and divine-level martial artists. Watch me!”

Joshua grunted, soaring into the air like an eagle, aiming a slap at Dustin’s forehead. The wind howled fiercely, his clothes fluttering. Under his terrifying prowess, the crowd retreated again, fearing entanglement in the conflict.
