"How is her proposal?""Huh?" Yenn was confused."What I mean is, what are the chances of her proposal being accepted in a normal competition without any emotional factors?" Ashton set the document down."Well, if it is a normal competition, Miss Lockwood would probably accept it. After all, her proposal is quite novel, and it has a low risk and high return," Yenn carefully said."Let's accept it then.""Wh-what? Mister Levin, aren't you guys… Please forgive me. I do not currently understand your generosity. I will call Miss Latham now to tell her about it."Yenn took a deep breath. She thought Ashton would certainly disagree with approving the proposal. After all, who would wish their ex-wives—who had dumped them—to have a smooth sailing career? They would want their ex-wives to have bad luck at every turn instead.However, Yenn had underestimated how forgiving Ashton was. Whether he was being silly or killing his ex-wife with kindness, Ashton's impression in Yenn's mind had su
"Alora promised me that she would accompany me for a drink after the gala. As a man, you should understand what would happen after we finish drinking, right?"As for the hotel, I've already booked it—Polai Grand Hotel, the top floor, Suite 901, a luxurious couple's suite. I'll leave a hole in the door for you to peek at my night with Alora."To let you feast your eyes, I risk being peeped and secretly filmed. You better be grateful for this."Ashton remained expressionless, only casting a fleeting glance his way.Tyson's internal fire surged as Ashton's indifferent expression provoked him. He lowered his voice, saying, "I'm going to have my way with her tonight. Aren't you angry?""Angry? At a clown like you?" Ashton chuckled."Pfft! It's not like it's your turn to care so much about Alora's life, is it? Clearly, you care a lot, but you still act tough. Ashton, you do make people look down on you in every aspect. Wouldn't it be better to admit your failure honestly? As a man?"M
"Yes, the truth," Alora bit her lip."We found her!"The entire first floor fell silent at once. The music was turned off, and everyone on the dance floor stopped, their gaze fixed on Alora and Ashton.A large group of men in black rushed in from the Imperial Palace Hotel's main entrance, tightly surrounding Alora and leaving her with no way out. Ashton, Miss Lowery, and Tyson were also caught in the crossfire."Who are you people?" Alora's heart tightened. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be from the criminal underworld. She had not provoked anyone from that community.Just then, the group of men in black clothes cleared a path, and a young man wearing loose pajamas, with ten jade rings on his hand and reddish-brown hair, walked toward them."Sebastian Young!"Several people in the hall immediately felt dizzy and sat on the floor."Who is Sebastian Young?"Countless people were curious and scratching their heads in anxiety.An old-timer who frequented the underw
"I'll answer your questions in bed later, you little slut."In fact, he had no knowledge of the situation, and neither did his father.He only knew that an elderly man dressed in traditional clothing and cloth shoes visited the Black Draco Gang several years ago. The old man met his father and drafted an agreement using some means. His father stopped caring about Alora, that little slut, allowing her to set up a conglomerate and expand her production lines on their land without paying any land fees. He even acted as a free thug, assisting her in resolving numerous problems.With free land and the top-notch gang of thugs in Edren, it was difficult not to succeed.However, the old man called that evening and abruptly terminated the agreement.As soon as word got out, he volunteered and led a large group of people to raid the Alora Group's headquarters. They were unable to locate Alora. They only found out later that she was at the Imperial Court Hotel to attend the Imperial Court Ga
At the time, no one could see what had happened clearly. The two burly men supposed to subdue Ashton took a step back. Their faces were smashed, and their noses and teeth were shattered into pieces.Ashton dusted himself off and took a tissue to wipe the blood off the back of his hand. "What... what happened?" Alora stared at him in a daze. She knew that Ashton had martial arts skills, but she did not expect him to be that good. Those men must have weighed 200 pounds!"Damn it, let's get him! I want to tear him apart!" Sebastian felt his dignity shattered and roared in anger. Approximately ten threatening figures charged forward, engulfing Ashton in the crowd. Two fists could not handle four hands. It was futile, like a mantis attempting to stop a car. Even if they were champions of free combat, those maniacs would rip them to shreds.Crack!The sound of bones breaking was especially shocking in the crowd, accompanied by a piercing scream."You can fight? What's the use of that? N
"Run, Alora!" Tyson was scared and peed his pants once again."Miss Latham, I don't want to die. I want to stay alive. I'll leave now. If you're safe and sound, I'll come to the company tomorrow." Miss Lowery took advantage of the chaos and crawled away."Alora, are you stupid? That guy is a fool. He attracted all the hatred, and now all we need to do is distance ourselves from him, and everything will be fine. There couldn't be a better outcome than this!"Alora was pulled and dragged, and her thoughts started to waver. She pursed her lips as she finally escaped the Imperial Court Hotel.The cold wind blew on her face. After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and called the police for Ashton."Alora, you're too kind-hearted, but you should know that the police are useless regarding the Black Draco Gang."And that guy was just asking for trouble; it has nothing to do with us!""Mister Cox, you should take care of yourself before judging others." Alora tied her hair an
Chester Peterson, the owner of the Imperial Court Hotel, was the one who came down. The Black Draco Gang owned half of the Imperial Court Hotel, and Chester was not only the hotel's manager but also a key member of the Black Draco Gang.Chester received the news and saw everything from the surveillance footage when Ashton attacked Sebastian. He passed on the information to Travis. Travis acted quickly after hearing the news.Chester's task was to apprehend Ashton and keep him here until Travis arrived. Unfortunately, he did not understand Ashton well enough."My life no longer belongs to myself?" Ashton smiled as he looked at his phone."I want to leave, and you can't stop me.""Oh? Well, you can certainly try." Chester smiled broadly."By the way, I forgot to tell you that I called the police ten minutes ago. They are on their way now, a whole squadron of them."Ashton looked at him, his eyes flashing with intriguing light. "Opposing me has no benefits."Chester's smile grew w
Chester's hands were sweaty. He had not expected the situation to change so quickly. The influence of the Royal Sealift Group and the Wesleys in Edren had unknowingly reached such a terrifying level. However, as the leader of Edren's underground world, the Black Draco Gang was not to be underestimated."Everyone, even if I release him, so what? Whoever the Black Draco Gang wants to capture, it doesn't matter if he escapes to the ends of the earth. It will only bring harm to more innocent people," Chester said.Kendra shook her head. "That's not for you to decide, Mister Chester. Your only task is to release him."Chester smiled wryly as he faced dozens of pairs of eyes. "It appears that I have no choice but to release him.""Open the door."The hotel's main entrance swung open, and the Black Draco Gang and the police had not yet arrived."Mister Levin, if you don't leave now, it might be too troublesome to leave later. Although you have great martial arts skills, facing hundreds
