Chapter 951

Ashton locked eyes with the woman before him, each lost in their own thoughts.He was slightly stunned, wondering about the blind date Irene had supposedly set up. He fought to restrain the Drakell technique surging toward the chosen maiden and reined in his aggressive energy. He asked, "And who might you be?" "I'm Miranda Sterling," Miranda replied. She tilted her head slightly and gave Ashton another look, murmuring under her breath, "He's actually quite good-looking…""You're finally back, Ash!"It was then that Irene's familiar voice rang out as she hurried outside. She froze when she caught sight of him, her eyes glistening with tears. She could see the profound exhaustion and the storm of emotions in Ashton's gaze—a sense of weariness typically reserved for those who have endured significant trials.Irene held Ashton in a gentle embrace, her voice still as gentle as ever as she said, "I've cooked something good for you, Ash. If you've had enough of everything, come ba

Chapter 952

Miranda was well aware of her family's standing. She knew her mother was being delusional, as there was no way she could ever marry an ordinary man. She figured that once Ashton witnessed the raw violence of the Linton Island Tournament and realized the kind of world she lived in, he would quit on his own.That way, she could avoid offending Irene or disobeying her mother—a win-win situation."I'll see you tonight, then," Ashton said, a surge of desire burning in his eyes. His mindset shifted, and the Drakeborne lineage awakened further. The profound nature of the Drakell technique kept his desire on a continuous upward climb."She's truly an impressive woman with an excellent constitution!" Lord Ashdrake's eerie voice suddenly echoed from deep within his soul.Ashton was momentarily shaken but intentionally ignored the voice."Do you not realize that once you step into the divine realm, if you can't acquire the spiritual energy of an extreme Lunar physique and maintain cosmic

Chapter 953

Irene made every effort to set Ashton and Miranda up, wanting him to move past his failed marriage and start over."I'll try my best, Mom," Ashton said, his curiosity suddenly piquing. "Do you know anything about Miranda's background or who she really is, Mom?"Irene nodded, replying, "Miranda is Juniper Lancaster's daughter. Juniper used to carry you around when you were just a baby.""Juniper?" Ashton recalled a charming woman from his past. "How about Miranda's father, then?"Irene asked with a chuckle, "You're already checking up on her family, huh? Her father, Aaron Sterling, is quite famous. He's apparently in charge of a few different companies, though I'm not sure exactly what kind of business he's in."Ashton nodded slightly, knowing that his information had been spot on. Miranda's father was indeed Aaron, one of the three major powers in Linton Island's criminal underworld. He shifted the topic, asking, "How have you been doing recently, Mom?""I'm fine, though I do m

Chapter 954

Irene stated solemnly, "Your father had made it clear that if he were ever gone, you should never try to track him down, Ash. You should stop investigating any further. Your father will return if he's able to."Ashton had never seen Irene so terrified before. He knew very well that she knew more than she was letting on and didn't want him crossing the Drake family. He remembered Lawrence's warning—if the Drakes discovered any impure bloodline living among the public, they would treat them as stains to be wiped out. They would go as far as killing off entire branches of a family to prevent that half-breed bloodline from spreading.Ashton felt a sudden sense of dread at that thought."I know you've always been bitter about your father leaving, but you have to believe that he had his reasons. I'm begging you, Ash—please stop looking into your father's past," Irene said, sounding increasingly distressed."I hear you, Mom. I won't do any more investigating into Dad," Ashton said, givi

Chapter 955

Queenie sensed the searing energy and immediately thought of Ashton. She recalled how, in his moments of madness and fury, Ashton had emitted an energy strikingly similar to Gwen's current bloodline energy, though Ashton's felt more suppressed and frightening.She thought to herself, "Is Ashton actually from the Drake family? It makes sense now why Lawrence was so intent on having him lead the Legion."Queenie's mind raced as she processed the connection. She found one aspect especially perplexing, though. Ashton's bloodline energy was far more powerful. She knew that Gwen was a recognized descendant of the Drake family, so her bloodline energy should have been far stronger than Ashton's."M-Ms. Nolan…" Gwen spoke up, noticing that Queenie had drifted off into thought."I haven't seen anyone like that," Queenie stated flatly after snapping back to her senses. She glared at Gwen and added indifferently, "You won't find someone like that in Javonbury. You're not welcome here, so

Chapter 956

Gwen broke away in a burst of speed and shot out of Javonbury. She heard Queenie behind her, saying, "Step back into this city again, and you die."Her expression stiffened. She had planned to mask her aura and secretly investigate the one carrying that half-breed bloodline. Her instincts told her Queenie was protecting something. But for now, she didn't dare push further."Where the hell is that half-breed?" Gwen muttered with a frown.If she failed this mission, she'd be reprimanded and lose her mentor's trust."Wherever you are, I'll find you," she said coldly. "And when I do, I'll grind your bones to dust. A half-breed of the Drake family like you isn't meant to exist."Once Queenie confirmed Gwen had left Javonbury, she contacted Ashton."Ms. Nolan, what's up?" Ashton asked, caught off guard as he made his way to the Skybound Club in Linton Island. He hadn't expected her to call at a time like this."Are you from the Drake family?" she asked bluntly."What?" His chest ti

Chapter 957

Ashton's resolve hardened. He wasn't going to stand by and watch his family be taken from him again.Moreover, this threat was worse than anything that had come before. The Drake family guarded their bloodline with absolute ruthlessness. If they found him, they would kill him, and nothing would stop them.The moment he thought of his family and his daughter, his expression turned cold, and something dangerous settled in his eyes. He would never let anyone harm them."I must win over Miranda, the chosen maiden. There isn't much time left. I have to break into the otherworldly realm as soon as possible, and I need to expand my power base."With his mind made up, Ashton picked up his pace and headed toward the Skybound Club on Linton Island."Ashton, over here."Miranda had already arrived. She smiled when she saw him and waved him over.He walked toward her. Miranda was dressed in a light blue floral dress that left her shoulders bare, her skin smooth and unblemished. Her dark h

Ashton smiled and said, "Leave? But we haven't even started yet. We're supposed to check out the Linton Island Tournament, right? Let's go together. We can get to know each other on the way."Miranda was the chosen maiden with the Omni constitution. There was no way he was letting that slip.Before this, he had no real interest in pursuing her. At most, he would have let things play out on their own.But now, things were different. His Drakeborne lineage was already beginning to corrupt him from within. He also needed to grow stronger as soon as possible and step into the otherworldly realm. Thus, he wouldn't miss this chance. Even if it meant using certain methods, Ashton would make sure Miranda engaged in dual cultivation with him."You sure?" Quinn asked.She was taken aback that he didn't back down and instead seemed even more interested in Miranda."Yeah."She leaned in close to Miranda and lowered her voice. "This guy seriously doesn't care if he dies.""Then, let's go

Chapter 959

A middle-aged man stepped into the private room, his features sharp and defined. He was Aaron Sterling, the man who controlled a third of Linton Island's criminal underworld and also Miranda's father.A young man followed behind him. He was good-looking, and his aura made it clear he had already stepped into the transformation realm. He wore a faint, arrogant smile. When he noticed Ashton in the room, his brows tightened, and his gaze turned hostile. The young man had already set his sights on Miranda. He didn't like her standing close to another man, and he wanted her all to himself."Dad!"Miranda smiled and made the introductions."This is Ashton Gray. He's the blind date mom arranged for me. And this is Quinn Callahan, my best friend.""Hello, Mr. Sterling." Quinn's body tensed as she spoke, and she sounded slightly nervous. Aaron's attitude was calm and carried no obvious pressure, but the presence of someone in power still made her breathing uneven. She lowered her hea

Chapter 960

Miranda's eyes showed a trace of helplessness. She didn't know if Ashton's pride had been hurt, but she knew he shouldn't stay here any longer. If he did, something bad might happen because Aaron and Cyrus were not the kind to show mercy.Men who had gotten close to her before had all disappeared. She didn't want Ashton to meet the same fate. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have brought him here."Aren't we here for a blind date?" Ashton asked. "We haven't even gotten to know each other yet. Why would I leave now?"He chuckled, then reached out and wrapped an arm around Miranda's waist, pulling her against him. He didn't react to Aaron's pressure, saying calmly, "Mr. Sterling, I'm the right guy for Miranda. We're seeing each other, and tonight is our date. I'm not leaving."Ashton gave Cyrus a dismissive glance. "As for you… You're the one who is out of your league. Stay away from her. Can't you see she can't stand you? Know your place."His words and the way he
