LOGINLawrence burst into hearty laughter. He hadn't felt this happy in his entire life."You did well. At least, you didn't disappoint me," he said.Kayla snorted softly, though her thoughts wandered. She wondered if she should keep sleeping with Ashton. After all, it had felt pretty good."It'll get even better later," Ashton said with a grin."Huh?"Her face flushed red, and her heart began to race.At that moment, Leona and Faye walked over despite their injuries. When they sensed the divine realm aura radiating from Ashton, both women looked visibly impressed. The way they looked at him carried a faint, teasing warmth."If you two hadn't held Cassian off for a while, I wouldn't have been able to break through into the divine realm. When we get back, I'll treat your injuries."He then turned toward Lawrence and said, "Let's go."The smile on Ashton's face gradually faded. His perception had already detected subtle changes in the atmosphere around Terminus Cliff. A large number
Ashton's final words echoed in Roxy's ears, accusing her of being wrong and asking if she regretted it now. The words struck Roxy like thunder. Her body trembled, and if not for Eunice supporting her, she wouldn't even have had the strength to remain standing. When their eyes met, a storm of emotions flashed through Roxy's. Ashton now stood before her—proud, fearless, and dazzling, almost otherworldly. Meanwhile, she was nothing more than a pitiful woman who had made the wrong choice."Roxy, apologize to Ashton. Maybe there is still a chance to turn things around," Eunice urged anxiously.If it were possible, she didn't want her closest friend and the man she loved to become enemies forever."Apologize?"Roxy lifted her head stubbornly and looked at Ashton with reddened eyes as memories of their past flashed through her mind.She couldn't deny the regret she felt. Yet, she also knew an apology would change nothing. Even if she admitted she was wrong, it wouldn't bring them bac
When Gavin realized he couldn't intimidate Lawrence, he threatened Ashton instead. What infuriated him most was that Ashton acted as if he hadn't heard a word. Ashton continued his assault, grinding down Cassian's life force until even his final defense finally collapsed."Uncle Gavin!" Cassian screamed in despair.Gavin frowned. But under Lawrence's watchful gaze, he didn't dare intervene."No!" Cassian cried as the last barrier before him shattered. With no defense left to block the killing blow, he pleaded desperately, "Ashton, please don't kill me. I'll agree to any condition you want. Just don't kill me."Ashton looked at Cassian as he begged for his life and let out a sigh."So, the so-called appointed heir of the Lowery family turns out to be nothing but a coward. What a disappointment. Scum like you deserve to die."With that, he drove a killing punch straight at Cassian's head.Cassian could no longer raise any defense. Instead, he could only watch helplessly as the
Lawrence spoke coldly as he gripped the Sovereign Silver Spear and issued a blunt warning.The moment those words fell, the Lowery family members went pale. The image of the expert pinned to the ground earlier flashed through their minds, sending a chill down their spines.That man had been the strongest among them aside from Gavin. Even he had failed to block a single strike from Lawrence. If they rushed forward now to rescue Cassian, they would simply be throwing their lives away. Everyone present understood one thing clearly—Lawrence never made empty threats, and whatever he said, he carried out without hesitation."Uncle Gavin, save me!" Cassian cried out as his eyes widened. Just moments ago, he had believed he had grasped a lifeline, only to watch it vanish instantly. Worse still, he had foolishly continued threatening Ashton, which only fueled his killing intent even further.Ashton threw another punch. This time, his fist drove straight through Cassian's abdomen, leavi
Cassian took a step back and shouted to the middle-aged man rushing toward him, "Take me out of here now!"Ashton's eyes narrowed, and killing intent surged through him. Cassian had already made his threats, and Ashton had no intention of letting him leave alive. He was nothing like Clay, an expendable opponent who could be dealt with later. If Cassian survived today, he would become a serious problem—and Ashton hated problems.Ashton's body tensed as he prepared to burst forward at full speed and stop the middle-aged man from rescuing Cassian. But just as Ashton was about to move, a silver spear tore through the air. The weapon seemed to ignore distance itself, crossing the space between them in an instant. The spearhead carried a terrifying force, crushing every trace of power the middle-aged man had gathered before piercing his heart.For a moment, time seemed to freeze.The middle-aged man, whose aura had radiated terrifying power only moments earlier, stood frozen, eyes
Cassian's face turned pale with terror."Ashton, if I die here, the Lowery family will come for your life. My death will bring disaster down on you, too. Let's end this fight here. I will give you Javonbury and even hand over a spirit ore mine. What do you say? If that's not enough, you can name your terms."This time, he was genuinely afraid. He had no intention of dying here. He was still young—as long as he survived, he believed that one day, he could wash away the humiliation he had suffered today.Ashton replied, "Looks like you still don't get it. The moment you stepped onto this combat arena, your life stopped belonging to you. It belongs to me now."His fist smashed into Cassian's face, sending two teeth flying. The impact twisted Cassian's features as the shadow of death closed in and crushed his thoughts, shattering the last of his pride and dignity. At that moment, only one thought remained in his mind—he had to survive."Ashton, I give up! I surrender!" Cassian roa
Nevertheless, Ashton told himself that this was going to be the last time he helped Melody.He wielded the Cosmic Breathing Technique with each breath in an attempt to deliver his inner energy into Melody's body and use it to contain her raging lust.However, something entirely unexpected happened
Even for someone of Natalie's power and influence, it would be almost impossible to call upon an S-ranked expert."Why are you looking at me?" Ashton asked puzzledly when he saw Natalie stare at him."It's nothing. I was just wondering how Roxy could be so stupid as to divorce you. Does she even r
It took Roxy quite a while before she could snap out of her shock. Her expression was rather dark as she said, "I need a reason, Ms. York.""A reason?" Natalie repeated before giving it some thought. "Well, it's because I've reached an agreement with Mr. Gray, so my only option is to make this diff
Natalie stared fixedly at Ashton before eventually breaking into a smile. "Oh, fine. What else can I do, other than to agree to your terms, Mr. Gray? After all, my life is already in your hands. What kind of pointless resistance am I supposed to resort to?"With a resigned expression, she asked, "D
