If you keep this up, it won't end well for you. Leave now before it's too late.""Yeah. Leave now!""I'm not leaving." Ashton smiled at the crowd, then walked over to Kieran and planted a foot on his head."You have two options. Die, or take me to your boss.""Who the hell are you? What do you even want?"Kieran was terrified. The injuries Ashton inflicted on him were already severe, and that was with Ashton showing restraint. Otherwise, he would already be dead."I'm helping her find her daughter. While I'm at it, your boss will start working for me from today onward," Ashton said calmly.Kieran's eyes widened. He never expected Ashton to say something so outrageous. Ashton actually wanted his boss to work for him. The arrogance in those word
Hugo crashed to the ground at Kieran's feet just as Kieran arrived with his men. Blood spread across the floor beneath him.Everyone gasped at Hugo's gruesome condition and turned toward Ashton in shock. None of them expected him to be this bold. To them, he clearly didn't care about the consequences. The crowd immediately backed away, afraid of getting dragged into it."Avenge me, Mr. Marlowe!"Hugo's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He no longer had the strength to stand and would probably be crippled for the rest of his life.A vicious look flashed across Kieran's eyes after he learned what had happened. He fixed Ashton with a cold stare and spoke in a low voice."Sir, don't you think you've gone too far? No matter what, Hugo is still one of my men. He also works for the governor. Do you understand the consequences of what you've done?""He's getting exactly what he deserves," Ashton responded calmly. "Take me to the boss of the criminal underworld. I have something to ask him
The martial arts expert exploded with rage. Veins bulged across his face as he clenched his fist. He moved like a released arrow, charging straight at Ashton with a punch aimed at his head.He was a transcendent realm expert. To him, taking down Ashton should have been effortless.But before the punch could connect, a terrifying force slammed into his body. The impact nearly ruptured his internal organs, and his eyes widened in horror as pain twisted his face.Blood sprayed from his mouth as he was thrown backward. He slammed heavily onto the ground and let out a miserable scream.The surrounding crowd hurriedly retreated, staring at Ashton in shock. None of them had expected him to possess such strength."Young man, you should leave now. That man is Hugo Wallace, one of Mr. Kieran Marlowe's men in Lavora's criminal underworld. If you cross Mr. Marlowe, you won't be able to get by anywhere in Lavora. There's still time, so hurry up and leave the city."Someone nearby tried to war
The martial arts expert looked down at the beautiful woman. His eyes were filled with undisguised lust, as filthy thoughts filled his head."You…"Her face tightened with pain and anger. She bit down on her lip before asking, "If… If I agree to your conditions, will you help me find my daughter?""You think you can get a deal that good?" he said mockingly. "If you agree, then I might help within the limits of my authority. As for whether we actually find her, I can't guarantee anything.""I…"The woman collapsed to the ground. Panic and uncertainty filled her face, leaving her utterly helpless. Her gaze swept across the crowd as though searching for someone to help her. But everyone present deliberately avoided her eyes, unwilling to meet her gaze.As for Ashton, his expression remained indifferent. He had no intention of getting involved.His arrival in Lavora had to remain secret. If the Heavenly Medical Pavilion were alerted, they would immediately become wary, which would
That was the only way Ashton would have the confidence to stand against Callum.Reluctantly, Eden pulled herself away from Ashton's embrace and got to her feet. She draped a thin veil over her shoulders before helping him get dressed."I've already sent you the information on Lavora. The ruler of the city, Selene Laurent, is a member of the Heavenly Medical Pavilion. If my sources are correct, she should be one of the organization's deputy heads. "Because of this, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you to take control of the city. Plus, there's a high chance your identity could be exposed. That could put you in serious danger," she said."If I can't control Selene, I'd have no choice but to subdue her and replace her with someone else," he declared solemnly.Desperate times called for desperate measures. Ashton didn't have much time left. He needed to get things done quickly. "Selene is in the semi-otherworldly realm. From what I heard, she's only one step away from breaking int
Eden stepped forward and pressed her body against Ashton's. Feeling the warmth of his chest, she asked worriedly, "Are you really going to show up at Callum and Wanda's wedding?"She took out a red invitation from her pocket. "I've already received their wedding invitation. Should I attend it as well?""Of course you should!" Ashton declared.With a fervent and determined look in his eyes, he continued, "I need you and the others to subdue the Heavenly Medical Pavilion's forces. That way, I'll be able to fight Callum fair and square."Ashton was well aware of how powerful and terrifying Callum McGrath was. Once, he had stood before him, feeling utterly helpless and consumed by despair. He wasn't arrogant enough to believe that he could take on the Heavenly Medical Pavilion alone. After all, they were the strongest organization in Central Region. In fact, their strength was almost on par with the Lord of the Central Region.Not to mention, the organization might also be secretly
Roxy felt a wave of nausea as she looked at Calvin's face. In that instant, scenes of her life with Ashton flashed through her mind.In their ten years of marriage, Ashton had never pressured her or let her down. From beginning to end, he'd been her rock. And she… she had never truly valued him.A
"That's outrageous! Roxy Sloan is Ashton's wife—how could you mishandle this? Go to the Sloan residence yourself right now with the gold invitation. Be polite, be sincere, and make sure to invite the whole Sloan family to attend the Auric Night gala! Hurry!" Cadence ordered.Millie nodded hastily.
Hank and his mentor had set tonight as a deadline to seize Natalie and Yorkshore Group. He thought to himself, "Your time is running out, you wretched woman. You won't be able to act all high and mighty in a few more hours! You'll be groveling before me, begging for mercy and surrendering everythin
Kayla was genuinely afraid that Ashton might make Lawrence's condition worse.With great difficulty, Lawrence brushed them off with a wave of his hand. "I trust Ashton. Even if he really does make my condition deteriorate, why does it matter? A man on death's door has nothing left to lose.""Mr. C
