Water splashed everywhere when a foot stepped on potholes and puddles.The Wesleys Residence's lights were still on, and many people were still discussing Cadence's engagement to Nazeem.The fact that Cadence was about to kill Alora was never mentioned.Suddenly, Elrich, the previous Wesleys' patriarch, no longer handling family matters, received some news. The news came from his granddaughter, Lance. She told her grandfather everything Ashton said. Elrich had to make a decision."Ashton..." The praying beads that Elrich was holding in his hand shattered and rolled on the ground."A sign of bad omen! This is terrible news!""This decision will save or destroy us!" Elrich looked solemn.He could not cancel his grandson's engagement with Cadence, logically. Previously, the Wesleys needed Eadwig's help to escape a predicament. Marriage with Cadence, Eadwig's niece, was their solution.If the wedding were called off, the Wesleys would fall back to square one, their problems unsolve
Everyone looked at each other and then at him as if looking at a fool."Is he crazy? He's avenging that woman?""What a good, loyal dog. Does he know this place? Does he know his target?""Even the Martert Sect and Seanic Chamber of Commerce's young heirs have come to support Miss Junkins. Who does he think he is?"The crowd broke out in chatter."Oh look, an uninvited guest." Silas sat on the sofa, twirling the wine glass in his hand."Uninvited guest? You think too highly of him. He's just a little bastard from the countryside who doesn't know what's good for him. Just treat this as an extra show. Anyway, I'm bored. His arrival does give me something to do." Torben looked vicious and menacing. No other men dared to approach him.Then, someone in the crowd recognized Ashton."Isn't that Alora's ex-husband?""What a good, loyal dog. Alora had already divorced him, and he still wanted to avenge her. Like a sheep, he blindly obeys Alora."Ashton leisurely entered the main hall.
"Stop it!""Don't you dare!"Fierce shouts came from several directions at the same time.Cadence shouted in fear, "I am the eldest daughter of the Junkins family, and I am Eadwig's niece. How dare you hit me? I will make sure you die a horrible death!""Eadwig? I'll hit him too if he dares to beg for your mercy!""What?"Ashton stomped her other palm before Cadence could react. She howled again as she was grabbed by the hair and slapped repeatedly.Cadence's face doubled in size after a few slaps.Everyone was scared.Ashton was too daring. He was insane. He had avenged Alora. What would happen next?The Junkins family would destroy him, Alora, and the Alora Group.With a gloomy expression, Torben had appeared behind Ashton at some point."I just told you to stop. Didn't you hear me?""Torben, help me!" Cadence's tears, snot, and blood mixed on her dirty face as she shouted miserably."Don't worry. I'm here now; he can't hurt you anymore."As Torben's voice fell, Ashton
"What?""Am I seeing this right? Torben from the Martert Sect is kneeling and begging for mercy?"The scene was so real that everyone had to rub their eyes. The heir of a famous sect kneeling for mercy from his opponent was shameful.Cadence was dumbfounded.She looked forward to Torben maiming Ashton, then breaking off his limbs. She would keep the crippled Ashton in a kennel like a dog, torturing him daily.However, Torben was begging Ashton for mercy.Who else could she count on in South Edren?Trash! All of them were nothing but trash.Ashton looked at Torben. "Aren't you going to teach me a lesson?""No, no. I spoke out of turn. I was not in my right mind. I take it back. I take it all back.""So, are you still trying to protect her?" Ashton asked with a dangerous glint in his eyes."No, no. I would not dare. That crazy woman is a cruel bitch, mutilating innocent people. She is fucked in the head, and if you kill her, you are doing a favor for society. I will never help
"Is this a threat?" Dillon glared at him."Advice, not threats. Your daughter's attacker has some words for you, Mister Stukes."He said he has planted the heart-rotting poison in your daughter's body. She will die from the poison if she does not apologize for her crimes within a week. No one else can save her," Nazeem said indifferently.Dillon quickly requested blood work. The report confirmed Cadence's body contained an unknown poison.Dillon's face darkened."First, you beat up my daughter, then you poison her. Now you're asking her to apologize? Well, very well."Contact the Martert Sect and ask them to send the top ten inner strength masters to South Edren tonight. I want to destroy this man."Nazeem shook his head and left. He could not save someone if they did not want to be saved.Dillon was arrogant, and Seanic was far ahead of Edren County. His contempt for South Edren made sense.Being bullied by Edren County residents humiliated him. He would be ridiculed in Seani
Howard noticed one step too late.Claire acted fast and was about to leave with the contract in her hand.However, Florence was faster. She snatched the contract from Claire's hand, tore it to pieces, and threw the shredded paper into the trash can."My daughter hasn't even woken up yet. And you're already trying to steal her company?" Florence put both hands on her waist and sneered, "Can you even run the company if we give it to you freely?""Don't mind my words. With how ignorant your family is, you'll run a small shop into the ditch in a day, much less a billion-dollar company."Gustav and Claire's expressions darkened."Are you sure you're doing this? You don't think of us as family?"Gilbert lowered his head and smoked a cigarette without saying a word.Florence slapped him. "Your brother asked you a question. Why are you not answering him?""I—""Mom, stop arguing."Alora had already woken up.Her injuries have been treated and bandaged, and her life was no longer in
Everyone in the room was scared mindless when they heard the other party's orders. They knelt on the ground, afraid to move.Claire shouted for mercy, claiming she was innocent and unrelated to the incident.Dillon did not care about innocence. He was there to avenge his daughter. He wanted them to feel pain and fear when they died.The fighters in black shirts behind him rushed into the room. Ordinary people like Gilbert could not stop them."Stop it!" Alora sat on the bed and shouted weakly.However, her voice only made the smile on Dillon's face crueler.Suddenly, a finger pressed against the back of Dillon's head."Your men try anything funny, and I will send your brain splattering across the room." A cold voice came from behind Dillon."Who are you?" Dillon frowned and looked to his side. He could see a young man's face behind him." I was the one who beat up your daughter. I let her have a taste of her own medicine, but only ten times stronger. If you don't like what has
The Martert Sect deputy was the best warrior among the top ten disciples. His strength had surpassed horizontal cultivation, reaching the start of inner strength cultivation.He was one of the best instructors in the Martert Sect. Therefore, his self-confidence was far beyond that of an ordinary warrior.He did not want to use even a quarter of his strength because of his disdain toward ordinary martial arts practitioners.He thought this young man was ordinary because he could not feel anything dangerous about him. He was worse than the apprentices who had first entered the Martert Sect.Ashton usually presented that facade—weak and frail, harmless to others.Hundreds of pounds of explosive force hit Ashton's elbow. It was enough to break human bones.At the same time, Ashton moved. It was just a simple action. He quickly intercepted his opponent's fist in midair. He grabbed onto it and twisted.The expression on the deputy's face suddenly froze.The sound of dislocation and d
