Chapter 94

Author: Gentlemanly Flow
Despite the arrival of Eunice, Arlo, Nathan, and Oscar didn't panic.

They made a living in the criminal underworld. Although they were wary of the local authorities and showed them some respect, they were also the least afraid of them. After all, the authorities had to abide by their laws and code of conduct.

They had nothing to fear, so long as they weren't breaking any laws.

"Roxy, are these the ones extorting you?" Eunice asked as she eyed Arlo and the others coldly, her gaze full of contempt.

Being a legionnaire, she had no regard for people involved in the criminal underworld.

"You shouldn't be speaking carelessly, miss," Arlo remarked with a sneer. "We would never dare to extort someone in broad daylight! We're just here as ordinary customers. Kindly avoid levelling false accusations at us!

"Do you think you have the right to frame the innocent just because you're wearing the Legion's battle robe? If I'm not mistaken, the Legion's mission is to uphold justice and safeguard

    "I'll give you three million dollars a month each, and we can part ways as friends," Roxy declared. "But if you don't wish to make my acquaintance, then we'll just go down together."Her words were firm and forceful.Arlo, Nathan, and Oscar exchanged looks. They all felt stunned by her. Bringing their heads together, they solemnly discussed the situation in low voices.Soon, they set aside their hostility. Chuckling, Arlo complimented Roxy, "I've long heard of your bold and decisive manner, Ms. Sloan. After seeing you in action today, I am now certain you live up to your reputation."Well, we'll do you a favor and accept the three million dollars—and your friendship."If they had a choice, they didn't want to burn their bridges with the massive Summit Group either. And after realizing that Roxy could call upon a legionnaire for help, they were even more wary of engaging Roxy in a bitter fight."Anna, give them the money and escort them out!" Roxy instructed.Anna let out a quiet

    His father? His family lineage?As soon as Ashton heard Lawrence's questions, he stiffened and looked straight into Lawrence's deep eyes.He had never seen his father before. Ever since he was born, Irene had raised him and Madison alone. Irene was always vague whenever she brought up his father. She simply said she'd saved him when he was gravely wounded, and the two ended up getting together.However, after Irene gave birth to Ashton, his father left without a word, never to be heard from again.To this day, Ashton hadn't even seen a photo of his father before. All he knew was the man's name, Cyril Gray.He'd hated Cyril all along for never fulfilling his duty as a father and a husband. It was Cyril's fault that Irene had suffered so much all these years, forced to put up with a great deal of ill-treatment and mockery.After becoming an adult, Ashton tried looking for Cyril. He wanted to find the man and confront him, to find out why he'd abandoned the family. However, he later

    The current Ashton no longer smiled gently at Roxy. Instead, he gave off a domineering air that made her extremely uncomfortable.Steadying her breath, she lifted her chin to maintain her proud demeanor. She would never reveal a weak side of herself in front of him!"What's the matter? Are you feeling really smug about it? You stopped me so that you could gloat in front of me?" Roxy questioned."I've got nothing to be smug about. I just came to give you a reminder. The business empire that you're so proud of is starting to crumble. This is just the beginning of your nightmare, and it won't end. I hope you're prepared for that," Ashton said with a derisive snort."Of course, if you throw in the towel early and willingly give me custody of Celia, I'll spare some of your dignity on account of you being her mother."As his words rang out, Roxy's expression grew steadily more hostile. Her voice was sharp and icy as she retorted, "What gives you such ridiculous confidence, Ashton? How c

    At some point, without anyone noticing him, Lawrence had come up to Eunice. He was now looking at her with noticeable disappointment."M-Mr. Clark Senior!" Eunice sputtered out.The moment she saw Lawrence, she trembled hard and became visibly flustered. He was the head of the Legion, and he'd just caught her right in the act of abusing her authority!Why would Lawrence be here, at Evermore Club?Eunice lowered her head, looking like an errant child.The crowd, however, had no idea what was happening. To them, Lawrence looked like an ordinary old man, no different from any of their elderly neighbors."Hey, what do you think you're doing, old man? Don't you know it's a crime to obstruct the Legion in the line of duty? Watch it, or you'll get arrested, too!"Hurry up and step aside, or else, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy!" Calvin roared.He'd been giddy with excitement as he eagerly waited to see Ashton being taken into custody. Thus, when he saw that someone—a sic

    Kayla couldn't understand why Lawrence had such high regard for Ashton and even insisted on making the trip to Javonbury himself.Lawrence, an old man with a slightly hunched figure, smiled and reminded Kayla, "Never judge a person based on appearances. Take a look at all the details about Ashton. With every single thing he has done, he's fought evil and championed the good."He has saved more people than you and I can even imagine. Over a thousand people have benefited from his actions. Check the list of people he had taken down in the past. Was there a single one who wasn't wicked and guilty of the most unforgivable crimes?"Most importantly, I sense something familiar from him. I didn't expect him to come from such a lineage."Lawrence's gaze had been fixed on Ashton the whole time. As if recalling something, he had a hesitant look in his eyes, fraught with mixed emotions. It felt like he was making a major decision."What lineage?" Kayla asked, her curiosity piqued.Instead o

    As soon as Calvin spotted Ashton, he quickly ducked behind Eunice before calling out fiercely, "Ashton! Tell Arlo and all those other bastards to get out of Summit Lounge at once! You'd better do it before it's too late. If you don't, we'll have you arrested and jailed for several years! You'd be screwed then!"Hearing that, Ashton instantly figured out what was happening. He had to admit that when it came to shaking down businesses for a protection fee, Arlo and the others didn't waste any time at all.Shrugging, he said, "I don't know what you're talking about.""Don't play dumb, Ashton! Do you dare to claim that you're not the one who told Arlo and the others to come and cause trouble? What's this? You've got the nerve to do it, but you're too chicken to admit it? Are you even a man?" Calvin fumed.Ashton glanced at Calvin. The moment their eyes met, Calvin jolted in fear and quickly averted his gaze."Do you also think I sent them?" Ashton asked as he eyed Roxy emotionlessly.
