Jaden turned on the massive screen in the middle of the room, and Alora appeared in the footage.It looked like Alora was in her home."You stole the surveillance footage from someone else's house?" Ashton frowned."Desperate times call for desperate measures.""I did not want to go this far. However, considering what Alora had done, I thought it was not as simple as it seemed."It's my job to find more information, right?"Ashton shook his head and smiled. Jaden was always so righteous about his reasons.Soon, Ashton looked at the surveillance footage.On the screen, Howard knelt on the ground while Florence knocked on the door as she begged Alora.It was on the night of Howard's incident. Florence forced Alora to marry Jaxson in exchange for immunity for Howard's supposed crimes.In the video, Alora's desperate voice reached Ashton's ears. He stood for a long time, unable to respond.Ashton never knew the reason behind whatever happened."Jaxson never came up with this pl

"Alora!" Jaxson's expression was hideous. His eyes were cold and threatening."Alora, are you crazy? Do you know what you're talking about? Apologize to Mister Xenakis! Then finish the wedding!" Florence panicked.Alora was unmoved; her eyes were already wet with tears.'Why can't you live for yourself? Why can't you live for the one you love?' She kept questioning herself in her heart.She had always been bound. She yearned for freedom. Once, she wanted to believe in Ashton, her chosen lover."Think about this, Alora. Mister Xenakis has given us everything we have now. You're condemning us to a terrible fate. Do you even think of us as family?" Howard roared.Alora remained silent, just crying constantly."This crazy woman! She's marrying Mister Xenakis, the Xenakis family heir. But she dares to humiliate him in public. Even if Mister Xenakis doesn't care about this, the family will never let her go. Only blood can wash this shame away!" Many distinguished guests came from the

The bloody skull was thrown casually into the hall's center.Ashton casually wiped his bloody hand with a cloth on the bench.He looked too casual to have done something as bloody as that.Everything happened so fast that the young man did not realize what happened. His subconscious hand touched his head, but it was bloody paste.He fell limp to the side; he did not even have a chance to say his last words.The people who had been laughing and talking with him were shocked; some started to flee."Arrogant little shit!""Kill him!"Oudos gave an order, and the guards rushed toward Ashton to kill him."Nobody moves!""I will shoot whoever dares to move!"Suddenly, a group of black-clad, knife-wielding young men entered the door. They faced the Xenakis family guards, but neither side acted rashly.Anthony, dressed in a windbreaker and holding a pistol, walked in."Who are you?" Oudos looked at him coldly."I'm Anthony Scott. If you dare bully my former son-in-law, I will ens

Jaxson grinned. He had forgotten how long he had been unable to walk with his head up.After learning Ashton was Master Levin of South Edren, he felt tense around him. He only wanted to marry quickly and return to the Imperial Capital with Alora.He could not fight that monster in South Edren.After Ashton crashed his wedding and took Alora, he said nothing. His uncle was the one who confronted the other man. However, he knew his uncle was no match for Ashton in South Edren.After Cillian appeared, everything changed.As a powerful force active in northern Lindorm, Jaxson was surprised that Cillian would appear there, but it was not important. The important thing was that Ashton was finished. With Mister Horton as his main backer, he could wipe Ashton and his forces out of the face of the earth if he wanted to."Levin, did you hear that? Mister Horton wants you to cut off your hands and feet. He wants you to kneel for three days to make amends to the Xenakis family. Everyone here

"You're asking for this!"Dominic stood up, and the huge tremor made the entire hall tremble slightly as an outburst of energy burst like a tornado."You must go through me before you can do anything to the young master." Jaden slapped the sheath, and all four swords appeared."Ace of Swords, do you think the eight of us are mere decorations?"The eight top masters joined forces to fight Jaden. Even though Jaden was strong, he could not escape the encirclement instantly.For a while, Ashton stood alone.Jaxson was excited when he realized that.The next second, his smile vanished.A mountain-shaking force from outside the door ended Dominic's plans."What?" Dominic was taken aback."Trying to bully my son while I'm away? Hmm?""Dominic, I think you're itching for a fight from all the years I've been gone."An afterimage came in an instant and slapped Dominic. The latter flew backward in response, smashing the furniture in an extremely embarrassing manner.A mighty figure s
