"75 million dollars!" Damian roared, his competitiveness flaring up once again at Roxy and Eunice's remarks. He refused to back down. His pride was on the line, and he simply couldn't endure the humiliation of losing. He was determined to make sure Ashton walked away empty-handed, no matter the cost.In that instant, a collective gasp rippled through the crowd as their attentions shifted back to Ashton.Ashton looked at the almost frenzied Damian and sneered. "You certainly are generous, Mr. Payne—I just wonder how much capital you have left to deploy. I'll bid 80 million dollars!"Damian slumped in defeat after hearing that figure. He realized then that no matter how much his temper flared, he knew he couldn't raise the bid again. Otherwise, he faced the very real possibility of being unceremoniously kicked out of the Payne family."I'll let you have it for 80 million dollars, Ashton! It actually brings me a lot of joy to watch you spend a fortune on a worthless compendium!" Dam

Wanda was a vision of breathtaking grace, her purple, form-fitting dress clinging to her body and highlighting every perfect curve. She carried the air of a classic femme fatale, her beauty surging forward like a tidal wave.Wanda's alluring crimson lips and captivating smile proved to be a formidable distraction, even for someone as disciplined as Ashton.Ashton took a deep breath to steady himself and, with difficulty, shifted his gaze away from Wanda's figure. He looked at her with a genuinely shocked expression and asked, "You're not actually planning to just give me the Compendium of Special Constitutions as a gift, right, Wanda?""You're so sharp, Ashton!" Wanda exclaimed with a captivating smile as she handed over the Compendium of Special Constitutions to Ashton. "I'm giving it to you for free since you wanted this so badly, Ashton. You don't have to spend a penny, and more importantly, no one will be able to take it from you now! How's that for a thank-you gift? Do you fe

Ashton's gaze fell upon Roxy's cold and ethereal features. Roxy, sensing his gaze, looked up to meet his eyes, radiating a divine presence that seemed beyond the reach of any mortal.In that moment of eye contact, an invisible spark sent a wave of silent tension through the room.Ashton felt a subtle tremor in his heart as the Drakell Technique within him erupted into a wild frenzy. He felt as though a fire was gutting him from the inside out as he had finally found its perfect vessel and sought to swallow it without restraint.It was then that a few lines of text flashed across Ashton's mind. "Primordial Innate constitution—compatible with all constitutions in the world and is the ultimate vessel for dual cultivation!"Ashton's Drakeborne lineage went into overdrive. He felt a bone-deep craving for that Primordial Innate Constitution, like a man parched in a wasteland catching sight of an oasis. He felt a sudden, scorching heat flood his limbs, and only through sheer, agonizing me

"I'm fine with anything, so just tell me when," Ashton replied, his curiosity piquing after hearing Wanda's description of Faye, the most beautiful woman in Javonbury. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of woman could be so stunning that even Wanda admitted defeat in the looks department. Wanda said with a smile, "I'll be in touch with you when the time comes. You ought to remember to use that Obsidian Draconic Card I gave you, Ashton. It grants you the highest VIP status at any of the Curios Chamber's businesses. You'll have an unlimited line of credit, and you'll never have to worry about the bill."Ashton nodded in assent. "If you ever find yourself in a bind you can't get out of, Wanda, just let me know. I'll be there."Wanda's face lit up with a breathtaking smile. "I'll hold you to that, Ashton! You've already seen all of me, so you'd better be prepared to take responsibility for that!"Having said that, Wanda turned and walked away, her slender body swaying with a natura

Eunice fixed her gaze on Ashton while asking that, searching for even the slightest tell. Ashton's expression, however, remained perfectly still, showing absolutely no reaction to the name.Ashton replied calmly, "I've never heard of him. Is that all?"Eunice breathed a sigh of relief, her expression immediately lighting up. She knew very well that Ashton couldn't possibly be the Grim Reaper. Ashton was a far cry from the legendary Grim Reaper, after all. He didn't even have the right to stand in the Grim Reaper's shadow. She couldn't help but blush as she pictured the legendary Grim Reaper, but her voice turned cold as she turned back to Ashton, saying, "I'm done with my questions. "You'd better stay away from Roxy, as she has already embarked on the path of cultivation, and she is even further out of your league now, Ashton! I'll personally see to it that you pay if you keep bothering her!"Having said that, Eunice brandished her fist in front of Ashton."You think you can th
