If not for the Drakeborne lineage flowing in Ashton's veins, as well as his use of the Cosmic Breathing Technique that allowed him to amass a great deal of inner energy, he wouldn't have managed to hold out until now."It must've been hard on you, Mr. Gray."At some point, without Ashton's knowledge, Whitney moved to his side and began massaging his shoulders with her fair, slender hands."It really was hard work. Do I get a reward?" Ashton looked straight at Whitney, his gaze heated.Sensing the aggression in his eyes, she felt her heart lurch. Her cheeks flushed, and her legs pressed together as all sorts of improper thoughts flooded her mind.She didn't oppose the idea of giving herself to him. But the moment that thought struck her, she jolted in alarm. Why would she even think that?Hastily avoiding Ashton's gaze, she replied softly, "Elise is the only one left now, Mr. Gray. Do you want to take a break? She had the Apex Heart-Devouring Parasite planted in her, so it won't b

Was the brazen and lustful Ashton so well-received by the women?Elise felt the most vexed. Ashton was still holding onto her, stroking her skin. She didn't know what to do."Whitney, what do you think?" she asked.Unable to move, she shot Ashton an embarrassed glare, hoping that he'd move his hand away. However, he ignored her look and continued to pet her, as if she were a little kitten. He seemed to be enjoying himself very much, too.Whitney's face flushed red. Ever since Ashton removed the Heart-Devouring Parasite from her body, she had developed an inexplicable feeling toward him. Deep down inside, she wasn't all that opposed to something happening between them!After all, she'd promised Ashton that she would serve him…"I'll do whatever you say, Elise." Whitney nodded slightly, feeling as though her heart was about to leap out of her chest.Elise struggled and forcibly switched her position while being held in Ashton's embrace. Her face burned hot.After pondering for

"Ten days from now?"Elise and Whitney exchanged a glance, both looking quite anxious. After confirming that Ashton wasn't joking, they said in unison, "No!"Elise sounded quite jittery as she cried out, "Ashton, to my knowledge, the Sage has quite several factions under his command. Every single one of them is terrifyingly powerful and helmed by a transcendent realm expert."Besides that, he has the support of the Dominion Vanguard supporting him, and he's working with the Jalunese Martial Academy as well. Most importantly, no one knows just how strong he is. Some have said that he's preparing to break into the divine realm…"Whitney also chimed in, "No matter how eager you are to be with Elise, you don't need to get yourself killed. Ten days is too much of a rush. We can take things slow and plan properly."The other women also looked worried, afraid that Ashton's blind confidence would lead him straight to his death.Sensing their concern for him, Ashton confidently declared,

Down in the reception hall, Rudy said to Emmett in an obsequious tone, "The Sage has already promised that he will satisfy your request tonight, Mr. Slater.""Excellent," Emmett replied with a leery smile. "I've had my eye on Whitney for ages now, but the Sage kept refusing my father's request and wouldn't let me get my hands on her. Now that he finally needs my father's help, he's willing to let me have her. Hahaha!"Rudy sighed. Flint had run into trouble lately. Not only was the Legion targeting him, but he'd also suffered heavy losses because of Ashton. He urgently needed to secure his position as the ruler of the Javonbury criminal underworld.Therefore, he had no choice but to agree to fulfill a request from Cornelius, the head of the Jalunese Martial Academy.When they caught a lovely scent wafting toward them, both Rudy's and Emmett's eyes lit up. They looked toward Elise and were briefly spellbound. Even though it wasn't their first time seeing her, her stunning face still

Rudy looked at Elise in confusion. He and Flint had deduced what would happen—although Elise would surely be infuriated, in the end, she would have no choice but to compromise.How could she be so adamant in her refusal? She didn't even leave any room for negotiation."I said I am never going to hand Whitney over to that Jalunese man, Emmett Slater! He isn't even worthy of touching her hand!" Elise curtly declared."How dare you!" Rudy roared. "You seem to have forgotten your place, Ms. Haywood! This is a command from the Sage. Are you sure you want to defy him?"I'll have you know that I brought the Sage's whistle with me. The moment I blow on it, the Heart-Devouring Parasite in your body will go berserk. I don't need to remind you what happens next, right?"He took out a whistle from his pocket and held it to his lips. It was one of the devices Flint had made to control the parasite inside Elise's body.Elise paled at the sight of that whistle. The fear she had toward it was so
