Chapter 10

작가: Gentlemanly Flow
Everyone froze stiff when they heard Ashton say the name "Goober".

Who was he calling Goober? Had he lost his mind?

Only Moe, who'd worked for Gene for over a decade now, tensed up. Ever since Gene had cemented his foothold in Javonbury's criminal underworld, no one dared speak that name aloud in his presence.

Gene came from a rural village where parents often gave their children crude, almost insulting names. It was a local belief that doing so helped ensure that the child would grow up well.

The name Goober implied someone who was dumb or naive, but the wise said that ignorance was bliss, so they hoped he would be able to live a blissful, carefree life.

As far as Moe was aware, Gene had once ruined a person and his entire family for calling him Goober. It was his biggest sore spot.

Seeing Gene's face darken, Moe grabbed a nearby beer bottle and swung it toward Ashton's head.

"You've got a death wish, punk!"

However, before the bottle hit Ashton, he struck first by kicking Mo

    Trent's hatred for Ashton had reached its limit."Don't worry, Trent. I'll have someone track down this Ashton Gray right away. I promise you that he won't live past tonight, and that won't be the end of it either. I'll wipe out his entire family!" Gerrick declared."I'll get in touch with your Uncle Harrick at once and have him mobilize the people from the Gale Assembly. No matter what kind of background Ashton comes from, he's going to die today!"Gerrick was basically driven mad with anger. Trent, his only son, had been rendered impotent for life. If he didn't get his revenge today and make Ashton pay for what he did, he could forget about holding his head up in public in Javonbury ever again!Soon, he got the information he wanted on Ashton, and it made him frown."Ashton Gray is the husband of Roxy Sloan, the CEO of Summit Group?""Is that a problem, Dad? Does it mean we can't touch Ashton?""Hah! Summit Group only came into power in recent years. It might make things a lit

    Lawrence sighed. "Now isn't the time for you to worry about all that. I'll keep a close watch on the Drake family. If I hear anything, I'll let you know."You don't need to be too concerned either. From what I know, there hasn't been any news of the Drake family punishing one of their own in recent years."You should be worrying about yourself instead. You mustn't expose the fact that you have the Drakeborne lineage. If they discover that, you might end up causing trouble for your father!"Ashton nodded, forcing the distracting thoughts out of his mind. What he needed now was to grow stronger—strong enough to disregard all the rules and crush the Drake family.Slowly, the two returned to the entrance of the Legion Cemetery."Grandpa!"Kayla dashed up to them, but her eyes popped open when she saw the custom-made battle robe Ashton was wearing. "Grandpa! Why did you give your battle robe to him?"This wasn't an ordinary battle robe. It could only be worn by the leaders of the Leg

    Despite not being very loud, Lawrence's voice seemed to echo in Ashton's ears anyway. He sensed the raw sincerity of his words, and for a moment, he felt as though Lawrence was gambling his entire legacy on him.Ashton didn't even have to think to know the kind of storm that would be triggered if news got out that Lawrence had made him the deputy head of the Legion.Lawrence would surely be hit with a tidal wave of doubt and condemnation. A single flawed move could instantly reduce his lifelong honor to nothing and make him go down in history with a sullied reputation.Staring into Lawrence's gleaming eyes, Ashton felt a fiery passion igniting in his veins."I'll do it, Mr. Clarkson Senior. I'll be the head of the Legion!"Ashton knew full well that by accepting this responsibility, his life would be changed for good. While he would rise to a seat of absolute power, he would also be confronted with unending danger."Excellent! Excellent!" Lawrence exclaimed, his eyes teary.He c

    Ashton wasn't afraid of dying, but he would never allow anyone to hurt his family.Upon noticing the agitation in Ashton's reaction, Lawrence assured him, "You don't have to worry too much. The Drake family is few in number, and they rarely appear in normal society. They mostly stay within their own territories."As long as you don't expose your true Drakeborne lineage, it's almost impossible for most people to pick up on it.:"But once it's discovered, it's a death sentence for me. Is the Legion also unable to protect my family?" Ashton asked solemnly.Lawrence sighed lamentably. "The Legion of yore might've been able to, but as you have seen for yourself, the Legion has fallen from grace."On the surface, it seems like we stand toe to toe with the Dominion Vanguard and the Empyrean Sentinel. In reality, however, we're not too far from being disbanded altogether."Ashton looked at Lawrence. "So, you brought me here because you want me to join the Legion?"After taking into acco

    Lawrence and Ashton continued heading deeper into the cemetery. Smiling, Lawrence said, "Here is where the heads and deputy heads of the Legion are buried."Ashton looked at the gravestones of past leaders standing quietly in the dark. When he saw the names, each of which had once made the world quake at its very mention, his heart churned with emotion.It was as if he could see them slashing their way through obstacles, sacrificing themselves to uphold the ideals they believed in. What a glorious sight it would've been!A few minutes later, they reached the end of the cemetery. Lawrence pointed to one of the gravestones and said, "Do you want to know who your father is?""Who is he?" Ashton asked, his heart jumping to his throat."Truth be told, I don't know who he is, exactly," Lawrence slowly replied. "But I do know he belongs to the same bloodline as this legionnaire right here—he's also from the Drake family!""The Drake family?"It was Ashton's first time hearing about the

    Ashton had always been hung up on his background."I can tell that you hate your father," Lawrence remarked steadily."How can I not hate a father who abandoned his child and a husband who left his wife without so much as a word of goodbye?" Ashton said.A father was every child's first hero, but from the moment Ashton could think, he felt nothing but resentment and disdain for his father.If that man had shouldered even an ounce of his responsibility as a father, Ashton, Madison, and Irene wouldn't have had to suffer so much throughout his childhood."I think your father might've had his reasons for leaving.""His reasons?" Ashton repeated.Lawrence looked out the window without answering, and Ashton astutely stopped asking.After about an hour, the sedan parked outside a pitch-black cemetery."Mr. Clarkson Senior? What are you doing here?"A caretaker hobbled over with the help of a cane, his body covered in chilling scars."I brought someone over to visit our fallen broth
