LOGINIn an instant, Xavier's laughter died in his throat. His smug grin vanished, replaced by raw terror. A sharp pain stabbed behind his eyes, yanking his gaze helplessly toward Ashton.In the next second, the black flame mark Ashton had placed on him suddenly came to life. It spread fast, coiling around Xavier's body like something with a will of its own. In the blink of an eye, clusters of pitch-black flames erupted across Xavier's body and began consuming him.His scream tore through the air, raw and agonized. The searing pain came from within. His organs, bones, and every part of him seemed to be melting in the inferno. He thrashed wildly in a desperate struggle, roaring in despair."Save me… Someone save me!"The sudden screaming caught everyone off guard. Some of the degenerate scions were still laughing until they turned and saw Xavier fully engulfed in flames. Their faces drained of color as they stumbled backward in panic."What's going on?""Put out the fire first! But wh
Several elite families' patriarchs glared with fury as they berated Ashton in unison. After all, he'd given them quite a scare just moments ago.At that moment, Niall, who had been hiding behind a wall of powerhouses, erupted into manic and unrestrained laughter. It sounded twisted and terrifying."Ashton! Your hunting game is over. You can't kill me or pass judgment on me. No one in this world can."He looked deranged as he pointed at Ashton. "You want to kill me? You're not worthy. I'll live on just fine. When the opportunity arises, I'll resume my games."Niall laughed. He was triumphant like a general returning from victory.The other degenerate scions relaxed as well, their arrogant, smug grins returning as they lifted their chins. After all, they were the masters of this world. Who was Ashton to pass judgment on them?Their laughter echoed through the night, sharp and sinister, like the cries of vengeful spirits. It sent chills down the spines of anyone who heard it."
Ashton clenched his fists as killing intent surged through him. Just as he was about to strike again, Neil stopped him.Shaking his head slightly, Neil spoke in a low, urgent voice."Your life-or-death match with Clay matters more."In that split second, Ronan's killing intent flared again as his inner energy surged from within him, swirling outward. His form blurred like a cyclone, leaving faint black trails in the air. Transforming his palm into a fist, he charged at Ashton again.He sensed a threat in Ashton and couldn't let him grow stronger. If he did, Ashton would become a significant threat to the Dominion Vanguard. Ronan was determined to eliminate anyone who might help the Legion rise again.Ashton frowned. Though he was somewhat regretful, he still took a step back.He muttered, "Clay, you really screwed me over. You made me miss a great fight, so our duel match in three days better be spectacular to make up for it. If it's a boring or easy win, I'll be pissed."In a b
"Whether they deserve to die is not for you to decide, Ashton. I've already told you that you've come to the wrong place. Leave now, or don't blame me for what happens next."Ronan bared a menacing grin, feeling his dissatisfaction with Ashton's arrogant and overbearing attitude reach its peak."I won't leave until every last one of those bastards like Niall is dead," Ashton shot back. "And neither are the Northern Troops."His voice suddenly rose, pointing an accusing finger at Leon. His tone was saturated with overwhelming killing intent."Niall slaughtered this young man's entire family. He is a monster who captured over 100 defenseless, innocent people, like the elderly and children, then turned them into prey for his 'hunting game.' Tell me, Mr. Hopper. Does Niall deserve to die? Did he?""Agreed. He deserves to die."A voice filled with fury and hatred rang out from the crowd."He deserves to die!""Kill him!"The chant rose and fell like waves, roar after roar echoing t
An unseen tension had already formed between them.Seconds later, Ashton's gaze locked with Ronan's, the deputy head of the Dominion Vanguard. Their murderous intent collided as the distance between them shrank to less than five yards.Ashton sneered, his eyes shifting to focus on Niall and the group of degenerate scions cowering behind Ronan and Kristoff.The scions were still dressed impeccably, and their arrogance was barely restrained. Hatred burned in their eyes as they glared at Ashton.But the moment they met his icy, murderous gaze, they flinched as one and quickly looked away. Cold sweat broke out across their backs as the chilling certainty of their own death seized them by the throat."Stop right there!"Kristoff and Ronan stepped forward in unison. Their voices, filled with authority, rang out as one.At the same time, the powerhouses led by the Wagner family and the Dominion Vanguard experts released waves of icy killing intent. Their deadly gazes locked onto Ashton
The crowd stirred with anticipation as various factions positioned themselves, ready to strike.Kristoff's gaze sharpened to a piercing focus when he heard that Ashton had led the Northern Troops to the Wagner residence in Javonbury."That damned Legion! They wiped out the Zamora and Worsley families and still aren't satisfied. This is outrageous."Niall swallowed hard. Nine other degenerate scions stood beside him, each one unable to hide their fear.They'd all seen the severed heads of Kendrick and Willa hanging from the flag of the Northern Troops. The gruesome sight had chilled them to the bone.They had seen Ashton in action before and knew this madman truly had no qualms about killing. The mere thought of being captured by him was a terror they dared not fully imagine."Dad! Mr. Hopper! Ashton and the Legion are playing by their own rules now. They're spitting in your faces and have zero respect for your authority. You have to teach them a brutal lesson. Otherwise, they'll
