MasukAshton was startled. "Xavion is looking for a husband for Lucia?"Xena said softly, "You should know that Lucia is the most beautiful woman in Central Region, with countless suitors. "You see, I heard they are using a martial arts tournament to choose the husband this time. In my opinion, Xavion intends to exploit this opportunity to enlist gifted martial arts experts for his own purposes."Ashton nodded faintly, remaining largely indifferent to the suggestion. He harbored no inclination to become Xavion's son-in-law, nor did he wish to engage with Lucia, the most beautiful woman in Central Region. He preferred to persuade Xavion by offering absolute mutual benefits. After all, tangible advantages were all that mattered."Xavion greatly cherishes his only daughter, so I suspect his time is almost up, and he's trying to find a man powerful enough to protect her. Who else but you could be worthy across the entire Central Region, Master?"Xena's eyes lit up with excitement as she
Xena's gaze turned gentle and intoxicating as she pressed her delicate body against Ashton, using her slender hands to wander across Ashton's body. She looked completely ready to be claimed, a delicate sight that no one would ever associate with the ruler of Lavora's criminal underworld, displaying such a submissive and alluring side.Xena's heart pounded wildly in her chest, a mix of pure adrenaline and anticipation. She couldn't help but feel her heart sink as she noticed Ashton shifting his posture, deliberately maintaining a distance from her. Ashton's gaze betrayed neither emotion nor desire, completely disregarding her self-offering without demonstrating a single hint of interest.Xena turned pale. She cast a glance downward at her cleavage and asked with a trace of resentment, "Do you find me repulsive, Master?""No," Ashton replied as he swept a glance at the alluring Xena. She was undeniably an extremely attractive woman with a captivating charm, but at the moment, he
Ashton nodded slightly, then walked toward the cruise ship's cabin and said, "Get the parents of the missing children over here to identify and claim them.""Got it!" Xena acknowledged the command and left at once, promptly instructing people to clean up the scene.Ashton walked into the cabin a moment later. As he looked at the group of five-year-old girls and the terror in their eyes, he couldn't help but think of his own daughter, Celia. "I'll bring you home very soon, Celia. I'll never allow them to separate us again—I'll be there for you as you grow up."He suppressed the longing in his heart and, with a single glance, immediately noticed a girl who bore a striking resemblance to Celia. He walked forward and gently picked up the girl named Lily, a gentle smile appearing on his face. "You have nothing to be afraid of, Lily. Your mother sent me to save you. You're safe now. I'll take you over to your mother, alright?""Alright!" Lily exclaimed, her eyes turning wide as a smi
Upon hearing Ashton's cold remarks, Linus' face contorted with rage. He had already begged so humbly, yet Ashton still refused to give him a way out. Did Ashton truly believe he was a pushover who was powerless to fight back?"I'm taking you down with me even if I die, Ashton! I'll show you just how terrifying a semi-otherworldly realm expert is in a state of absolute rage!" Linus roared as he gripped the long sword with both hands.His clothes were torn apart as vast amounts of spiritual energy forced their way out of his body and into the long sword. He bit his lip until it bled, integrating himself fully with the long sword and condensing his very life force upon it to achieve perfect unity between man and sword. He leaped into the air with a whistle. His semi-otherworldly realm power flared like a final burst of fireworks, instantly unleashing a violent energy. He brought the sword crashing down on Ashton, putting everything into the strike."Oh? You've got some fight in yo
Ashton even found himself somewhat surprised by the speed of this breakthrough."I actually ascended to the peak divine realm…" Ashton murmured. He then broke into a wild, arrogant laugh as a tremor ran through his vital organs. He narrowed his eyes with intense focus as black flames erupted all around him, officially launching his breakthrough into the peak divine realm.In that instant, wisps of pitch-black energy coiled around Ashton’s body like a tempest. The crushing weight and pressure of the peak divine realm erupted violently, causing the surrounding space to rapidly warp until the entire world seemed to revolve around him."What a terrifying presence!" Xena's body trembled slightly. She had already reached the pinnacle of the divine realm, but she was totally dominated by Ashton's pressure at this moment. She merely thought that the Ashton before her gave her a sensation of immense power and dread.She understood that Ashton had already surpassed her beyond reach, as t
Ashton closed in on Selene, the lightning and flames between his fingers blazing to their absolute limits. He unleashed a punch that tore forward with unstoppable, crushing force right toward the crown of Selene's head while the veins on his arms bulged violently.There were two streaks of blood tracing down from Ashton's eyes as he fixed his gaze firmly upon Selene's pupils.Selene felt as though her body had been immobilized at that very moment. She felt her eyes throbbing with sharp pain while a massive fright struck her right to her very core.No!" Selene let out a desperate, agonizing shriek, but the power she had frantically gathered was instantly crushed by the immense force of Ashton's punch.Selene's head blew apart entirely with a sickening pop, vaporizing into a cloud of blood mist. She was obliterated, leaving her utterly dead. Ashton remained where he was, his gaze sharp and frigid as it landed on Linus.Linus shuddered uncontrollably from that single glance. He fel

Ashton felt a spark of attraction, sensing that destiny had brought him to the person he was meant to be with. He, however, quickly snapped out of it with a sudden shiver and banished these dangerous thoughts from his mind. He knew that unfinished chapters tended to recur. Fate would place him i
Connor scoffed as he cast a disdainful glance at Ashton. "You don't actually believe Ashton can heal Faye, do you, Mrs. Moore? You've called upon one divine doctor after another, and yet nothing worked. You ought to know that Faye's fate is sealed if even we from the Heavenly Medical Pavilion can't
