It was only then that Roxy remembered the past. Back when Amelia was still a nobody, it was Ashton who had repeatedly encouraged Amelia to chase her dreams, providing her with a great deal of help, too.That was the only thing that kept Amelia from straying off the path of pursuing her dream all these years, until she finally achieved the success she had now.Amelia stood tall in her leather pants that accentuated her striking figure. Her attractive face was just as captivating. At the mention of Ashton, a tender smile appeared on her face. She didn't try to hide the truth from Roxy."That's right, Ms. Sloan," she responded to Roxy's previous question."I'm sure you're aware of how miserable my life was in the past—the way I was at the mercy of everyone around me. I don't mind telling you how bad it was. To be honest, Ms. Sloan, on the night before I met Mr. Gray, I'd already decided to give up on singing altogether."I was even considering working at a bar, but it was Mr. Gray wh

Roxy had always believed that everyone had a price. Sunny and the others were just using this opportunity to bargain for more, and she could afford to make the offer."You lot sure are getting lucky!" Calvin scoffed.However, to Roxy and the others' surprise, Sunny shook his head and replied, "Our minds are made up, Ms. Sloan.""Why?"Roxy genuinely couldn't understand this. Did Ashton truly have that much influence over them?It was one thing for Amelia to go with him. After all, being a woman meant that a man's words would easily trick her—readily swayed by her emotions and prone to making unwise decisions.But surely Sunny and the others would be more realistic than that!Sunny's expression became a little thoughtful as he reminisced, "Perhaps you didn't know, Ms. Sloan, but we only joined Summit Lounge because of Mr. Gray. He'd saved our lives before."People like us who came from the martial underworld might not have received a great deal of education, but we know what it

Ashton had always been hung up on his background."I can tell that you hate your father," Lawrence remarked steadily."How can I not hate a father who abandoned his child and a husband who left his wife without so much as a word of goodbye?" Ashton said.A father was every child's first hero, but from the moment Ashton could think, he felt nothing but resentment and disdain for his father.If that man had shouldered even an ounce of his responsibility as a father, Ashton, Madison, and Irene wouldn't have had to suffer so much throughout his childhood."I think your father might've had his reasons for leaving.""His reasons?" Ashton repeated.Lawrence looked out the window without answering, and Ashton astutely stopped asking.After about an hour, the sedan parked outside a pitch-black cemetery."Mr. Clarkson Senior? What are you doing here?"A caretaker hobbled over with the help of a cane, his body covered in chilling scars."I brought someone over to visit our fallen broth

Ashton wasn't afraid of dying, but he would never allow anyone to hurt his family.Upon noticing the agitation in Ashton's reaction, Lawrence assured him, "You don't have to worry too much. The Drake family is few in number, and they rarely appear in normal society. They mostly stay within their own territories."As long as you don't expose your true Drakeborne lineage, it's almost impossible for most people to pick up on it.:"But once it's discovered, it's a death sentence for me. Is the Legion also unable to protect my family?" Ashton asked solemnly.Lawrence sighed lamentably. "The Legion of yore might've been able to, but as you have seen for yourself, the Legion has fallen from grace."On the surface, it seems like we stand toe to toe with the Dominion Vanguard and the Empyrean Sentinel. In reality, however, we're not too far from being disbanded altogether."Ashton looked at Lawrence. "So, you brought me here because you want me to join the Legion?"After taking into acco

Lawrence sighed. "Now isn't the time for you to worry about all that. I'll keep a close watch on the Drake family. If I hear anything, I'll let you know."You don't need to be too concerned either. From what I know, there hasn't been any news of the Drake family punishing one of their own in recent years."You should be worrying about yourself instead. You mustn't expose the fact that you have the Drakeborne lineage. If they discover that, you might end up causing trouble for your father!"Ashton nodded, forcing the distracting thoughts out of his mind. What he needed now was to grow stronger—strong enough to disregard all the rules and crush the Drake family.Slowly, the two returned to the entrance of the Legion Cemetery."Grandpa!"Kayla dashed up to them, but her eyes popped open when she saw the custom-made battle robe Ashton was wearing. "Grandpa! Why did you give your battle robe to him?"This wasn't an ordinary battle robe. It could only be worn by the leaders of the Leg
