An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305 

Time flew by, and two days passed. News about Tatum challenging Dustin to a duel had spread far and wide, and all the martial artists who caught wind of the challenge came in droves to watch the duel 

The challenger was the principal disciple of Royal Valor, Fanatic Blade of the Heavenly Immortals -Tatum Thunders, while the challengee was Dustin Rhys, a dark horse. 

Eager to watch their challenge, many people woke up before dawn to get to Mount Halgue, so now, people crowded at the foot of the mountain 

“I didn’t know there would be this many people.” Thanking that this was just an ordinary duel, Dustin was surprised by the size of the crowd 

“That’s just how Boulderthorn is Anytime a famous disciple challenges someone to a duel, their guild makes sure to promote themselves and show off their strength. It’s an unspoken rule among guilds Maximus was used to the sight 

“Really?” Dustin smiled. “In that case, wouldn’t they be embarrassed if they lose?” 

“Lose?” The corner of Maximus’ lips twitched This was Tatum Thunders they were talking about. Even among his peers in Boulderthorn, the man rarely had any opponents, so how could he lose? The only reason the guild would make such a bigtuss about this was because they were certain they would win Therefore, they invited multiple witnesses, including the disciples of other guilds, to show off their power 

“Dustin, it’s not too late to turn back right now. Are you sure you want to do it?” Maximus asked tentatively. 

“Why would we turn back when we’re already halfway there? Let’s go. I want to meet that guy.” Dustin stretched and began to climb the stairs. 

Halfway up the mountain, they suddenly heard a fierce battle going on. 

Dustin turned and saw a group of people fighting in the dense forest next to the path. More accurately, a bunch of burly men were attacking an old man simultaneously. Despite his white. hair and frail body, the old man was surprisingly agile, his strikes catching his opponents by surprise, so the group of men was having a hard time fighting him. 

A young girl stood behind the elderly man 

“How dare they attack an old man! I’ll go help them” Maximus rushed forward righteously. Dustin shook his head and followed suit. 

“Hey! What are you guys doing?” The young girl immediately stopped them as they approached. The old man is in danger. I’ll help him!” Maximus told her. 

It’s fine. Those vermin won’t be able to hurt my grandpa,” the girl refused. 

“He’s your grandfather?” Maximus was surprised. “Aren’t you worried he might get hurt?” 

The little girl immediately humphed proudly “My grandfather’s Ralph Dunn, the leader of the Steel Legion! There’s no way those vermin are a match for him lust watchi”
