"Mister Dalton, please don't be angry. This girl doesn't know better. Allow me to punish her for you," Harray Zadroga, the bar manager, said as he slapped Xylia several times before bowing apologetically to John Dalton.John was a significant client, spending several thousand dollars there every month. The manager could not afford to offend him. Xylia quickly knelt and kowtowed on the floor, apologizing profusely. All the employees knew the rules, and even though the pay was not bad, they had to tread lightly. Their dignity and life were cheap if they angered certain powerful figures.John had no intention of letting the matter go, especially in front of his friends and the woman he had set his sights on. "Clean my shoes with your tongue, or else." He lifted his foot, revealing his luxurious leather shoes."Mr. Dalton, I—" Tears filled Xylia's eyes."Do it, or do you want me to kill you?" Harray glared at her menacingly.Xylia lowered her head in humiliation. Suddenly, a pair of o
One, two, three... ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred!A hundred bottles were smashed onto John's head. Not even someone with bones of steel could withstand the attack.It was such a miracle that he did not die or faint from the attack.It was all because Ashton knew what he was doing, and he wanted the other party to feel all the pain and humiliation they could get from that. He wanted the other party to know the consequences of bullying.Not only John but also the people with him or around him just watching on the sides were confused about what was happening.People would always start fights in bars, but none ever to that scale.Xylia cried and tugged at Ashton's clothes. "That's enough, Ashton. I'm grateful for what you're doing. But you should run away quickly when you still can. The Dalton family must have already sent their men here by now, and you can't leave later even if you want to."Ashton patted the back of her hand. "No one's running anywhere today
The thugs working for the Dalton family were a group of outlaws. They slashed their machetes without hesitation upon receiving their orders.Many people closed their eyes subconsciously, while more stared with eyes red from the alcohol. Their blood went to their brains as they stared excitedly without blinking.It was as if they had already seen the cruel scene of blood gushing and limbs broken.Then, a few bullets, muffled by the silencer, swiftly penetrated the heads of those thugs.As soon as several thugs raised their machetes, their bodies stiffened in the next second and fell to the ground with a bang. A huge amount of blood flowed from the hole in the back of their heads."What's going on?" John's expression stiffened. He straightened abruptly and looked out the door.All the thugs outside the bar were put down. A group of mercenaries armed with guns and tactical vests took over the control of the entire bar.The sudden change of scene was nerve-wracking.In the next sec
John sat on the ground with tears and snot rolling down his face, groveling for Julius' mercy."Break his limbs and hang him on the street. Tell his father to get him after." Julius kicked him away. "Who is the owner of this bar?"Harray limped up from the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face. "Me...""Prepare the contract for ownership transfer.""Okay, okay."The two acted firmly, and after a while, they did everything Ashton asked for.Cecelia, Jenna, and the others stood at the side, watching all that in a daze."These people are with him, right? Do you want me to deal with them too?" Julius looked at Cecelia and the others with a frightening look, thinking that they were also with John."Ah!" Cecelia pissed herself. "No, we're not with him. I'm a friend of Tammy's. Please let me go."Several people hid behind Tammy."They are my friends," Tammy said."Get up quickly, it's all right."Cecelia finally got up after realizing Julius and Henry were finally leaving. S
Ashton turned and looked as a familiar face came into view."Lucy? Why are you here?"It was Lucy. She stood panting, her face flushed."Well, Yanne is worried about you, so she asked me to come and check up on you. I overheard your conversation about a guide. I'm very familiar with Dentyoung Town, so I'm qualified for this task.""Yanne asked you to come? That girl sure is worried about me trying something funny, huh? So, she has got you to monitor me." Ashton shook his head and smiled."Sure, you can be my guide." Ashton nodded and agreed.Lucy looked surprised and quickly walked toward Ashton.She seemed well-behaved, carefully staying by Ashton's side for fear of making the other party unhappy by making mistakes.Since there was still time before the start of the Conference of Heroes, the group separated briefly after entering the venue. When the conference started, Anthony would participate in the lot drawing and delegate tasks to his men. At the same time, Ashton intended
Ashton realized that something was wrong with Alora, but she had made her own choices that led to her situation.Her success came easy with his help, and the various problems that followed after the divorce overwhelmed her.Who was to blame for that?Chloe took Craig to register for the betting and soon completed the group and pre-match preparations.As a warm-up before the start of the Conference of Heroes, the charm of the illegal wrestling match was also vividly reflected. The bloodlust in the games invoked the most primitive, bloodthirsty instincts in humans. The audience was screaming and shouting frantically.However, for people like Alora, who had hardly witnessed that much blood and gore, they could not help but get nauseous at the scene before them.Soon, Craig went into the arena.He was by no means a weakling. Facing a wrestler who looked more muscular than him, he managed to out his opponent in two moves. Craig ended the match by giving a solid punch at his opponent'
A gentle light flashed across Ashton's eyes. After all, he could not bear to watch his ex-wife ruin her life without trying to stop her.For a moment, Alora looked determined as she smiled indifferently. "Ashton, I have failed repeatedly after our divorce. It somehow felt like you had spoon-fed me my success. Do you think I will accept your charity?"Ashton looked away.Soon, Lucy and Chloe returned to their seats.Craig's third match had officially started."Miss Latham, I have inquired. Instructor Craig's opponent in the third game is a skinny man. He looked as if a strong gust of wind could send him reeling. Craig's three-in-a-row victory is basically secured. After we win, we will take another match. The bet can be tripled again, 1.5 billion!""Are you sure?" Alora sat up straight."Of course.""Mister Levin, there is a lot of money in your card, and the odds of betting on Craig to lose are very low. Is it too impulsive?" The surprise on Lucy's face was apparent. When she s
"Miss Blau, you have so many masters working for you. Even if I did stand you up, it won't hurt you," Ashton said as he glanced at her."Mister Levin, you joke. You are my trump card." Aerin took out a contract and placed it in front of Ashton.Ashton glanced at it and raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.Aerin was straightforward. She just gave Ashton the termination contract he had asked for Anthony. She seemed confident, as if the odds were in her favor.Or was she very confident that she would take Ashton's life?"Well, allow me to interrupt." Kendra stood next to him and looked at the two of them. "Mister Levin, you and Miss Blau know each other?""Of course we do. Mister Levin is Acton Pharmaceuticals' pharmaceutical director. He recently helped us develop a new drug. It will get popular all over the country within three months, helping Acton Pharmaceuticals become a leader in its industry," Aerin said with a smile."Mister Levin, is this true?" Kendra's mouth felt a little d
