Chapter 488

Gentlemanly Flow
"Do you really find this amusing, Ashton? You ought to know that 17 million dollars is nothing to me! You're not the one seeing a dime of that extra cash anyway!" Roxy snapped. She finally received the Rejuvenation Pill with a mask of indifference, completely lacking the joy of a successful bidder.

Ashton grinned mischievously. "It's certainly amusing! I mean, for all you know, I could be the one who concocted that Rejuvenation Pill of yours."

"How could someone like you possibly concoct a top-grade pill? How shameless of you, Ashton!" Eunice snapped.

Ashton didn't bother to argue with Eunice. He looked at Roxy's frigid expression and said with a sneer, "You probably have no idea that this pill is only effective for those on the path of cultivation, which means it won't be able to cure Tanya's stomach disorder.

"You ought to know that she'll only live an extra few days even if you find someone to harness the pill's medicinal power for her. You've probably spent that 17 million dol

    "I'll have Ashton's life, Mr. Aguilar! I'll personally issue him a life-and-death challenge! I'll slaughter him before everyone and prove to everyone that Ashton is no match for me!" Clay declared through gritted teeth, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.Felix watched Clay's fury with a steady gaze before finally nodding in assent. "You've already ascended to the transcendent realm, and with the Energy Condensation Pill in your possession and the Dominion Vanguard's secret techniques at your disposal, defeating Ashton should be well within reach!" In the meantime, Damian felt utterly humiliated. Ashton had claimed all the spotlight of the Curios Chamber's auction, while he himself had been reduced to a clown, existing only to make Ashton shine."What does he have that I don't?" Damian couldn't wrap his head around it. He couldn't fathom how Ashton kept ending up with the most beautiful women—it started with Sylvia, and now Wanda was falling for him, too."I must find a way t

    Wanda was a vision of breathtaking grace, her purple, form-fitting dress clinging to her body and highlighting every perfect curve. She carried the air of a classic femme fatale, her beauty surging forward like a tidal wave.Wanda's alluring crimson lips and captivating smile proved to be a formidable distraction, even for someone as disciplined as Ashton.Ashton took a deep breath to steady himself and, with difficulty, shifted his gaze away from Wanda's figure. He looked at her with a genuinely shocked expression and asked, "You're not actually planning to just give me the Compendium of Special Constitutions as a gift, right, Wanda?""You're so sharp, Ashton!" Wanda exclaimed with a captivating smile as she handed over the Compendium of Special Constitutions to Ashton. "I'm giving it to you for free since you wanted this so badly, Ashton. You don't have to spend a penny, and more importantly, no one will be able to take it from you now! How's that for a thank-you gift? Do you fe

    Eunice froze as a terrifying possibility took shape. She suddenly thought of the Grim Reaper's silhouette, and her delicate frame shuddered violently. She hurriedly dismissed the thought with a shake of her head, thinking to herself, "That's out of the question! Ashton couldn't possibly have anything to do with Lord Reaper! He's nothing more than a piece of trash!""What's the matter, Eunice?" Roxy asked, observing Eunice's quivering body with genuine concern.Eunice managed to squeeze out a strained smile, replying, "I'm fine, Roxy. I'm just looking forward to seeing Ashton get humiliated tonight; he's never going to get his hands on that Compendium of Special Constitutions with Clay standing in his way!"Eunice sighed inwardly. She actually would have rather seen Ashton walk away with the Compendium of Special Constitutions, especially since the Dominion Vanguard and the Legion were sworn enemies. She, however, still knew how deep the Dominion Vanguard's pockets were. There wa

    "75 million dollars!" Damian roared, his competitiveness flaring up once again at Roxy and Eunice's remarks. He refused to back down. His pride was on the line, and he simply couldn't endure the humiliation of losing. He was determined to make sure Ashton walked away empty-handed, no matter the cost.In that instant, a collective gasp rippled through the crowd as their attentions shifted back to Ashton.Ashton looked at the almost frenzied Damian and sneered. "You certainly are generous, Mr. Payne—I just wonder how much capital you have left to deploy. I'll bid 80 million dollars!"Damian slumped in defeat after hearing that figure. He realized then that no matter how much his temper flared, he knew he couldn't raise the bid again. Otherwise, he faced the very real possibility of being unceremoniously kicked out of the Payne family."I'll let you have it for 80 million dollars, Ashton! It actually brings me a lot of joy to watch you spend a fortune on a worthless compendium!" Dam

    Wanda took out a rune tablet that shimmered with an eerie, dark light and said, "It is said that the Compendium of Special Constitutions documents the special constitutions of the world. Once your spiritual sense merges with it, the information will manifest as a sphere of energy and move into your Sea of Consciousness. "It's a one-time consumable that can't be duplicated or regenerated. I'll open the bidding at ten million dollars!""15 million dollars!""20 million dollars!"In an instant, a flurry of bids broke out. It was clear that everyone understood the Compendium of Special Constitutions' worth, and for certain practitioners, the knowledge it held was of earth-shattering importance.In addition, it was a "one-off" spiritual transmission that couldn't be reused, so the sense of urgency in the room was palpable."30 million dollars!" Ashton, who was in Private Suite No. 1, lost his composure and made his bid without hesitation upon spotting the Compendium of Special Consti

  • Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry?   Chapter 490

    Clay saw Ashton as a complete nobody. He figured that since Ashton came from the Legion—a place notorious for its poverty—he couldn't possibly have 20 million dollars in his pocket. He was convinced that Ashton was just bluffing, trying to land a fortune without putting up a cent of his own."Mr. Gray is entitled to bid at any price, simply by virtue of occupying Private Suite No. 1!" Wanda declared firmly, siding completely with Ashton. "Do you intend to raise further, Mr. Jernigan? You ought to know that the Energy Condensation Pill will belong to Mr. Gray if you can't outmatch him!"That one sentence was all it took to ignite Clay's competitive streak. He watched Ashton closely, his mind racing to find a breaking point. He planned to raise the bid once more, wait for Ashton to overreach, and then back out, trapping him with a debt he couldn't pay.He hesitated for a moment before declaring, "I'll up it to 22 million dollars! Do you have the guts to go higher, Ashton?""I won't b
