"This is not a big deal. In fact, it is mutually beneficial and a win-win situation." Florence rubbed her hands."Mister Xenakis is from a wealthy family in the Imperial Capital. He has power and wealth. You should feel lucky if he wants you.""What do you mean?" Alora frowned."What do I mean? Don't you understand how Mister Xenakis feels about you? He said that if you marry him, he will help with Howard's problem. He can help Howard avoid jail time, and it will not even go on Howard's permanent record. More importantly, Mister Xenakis promised to give Howard a company to support him in doing business."You don't want your brother to achieve nothing at such an old age, do you?"Alora shook her head frantically. "No, this won't do, I can't marry him.""Alora! What do you mean? You promised to save your brother, but you changed your mind in the blink of an eye. Do you want to watch your brother die?" Florence's expression darkened."Alora, what's wrong with marrying Mister Xenaki
At the Straffield International Hotel, Edren County.Top floor, the luxury presidential suite.Three drinks made Alora feel like the world was spinning."I really can't drink anymore, Mister Xenakis. Give me a break." Alora's face was flushed. Her body swayed as if she would fall onto the bed at any moment."Since we can't drink anymore, let's get down to business."Jaxson did not continue to embarrass her. He went to the mirror and began to unbutton his pants.He moved slowly, but he exuded dominance as if he would grab his prey's neck and hold it against the wall in an instant."What are you going to do?"Alora moved nervously against the wall."We will get married soon, and you still ask me what I will do? Now we are engaged. Of course, it's the fiancee's obligation to serve me in bed."The night is young and beautiful; I will make you feel like you're in heaven."Jaxson removed his shirt as he spoke, showing his toned body. His chest had a dragon tattoo. His masculinity
Ashton was livid.Alora asked for the formula from him to give it to Jaxson?She used him to fulfill the wishes of other men.Alora cried at Ashton's desperation and wanted to explain. Ashton realized that her efforts would be wasted if she upset Jaxson more. Her brother would be jailed. Everything would go drastically wrong. It would end the Lathams."I'm waiting for your explanation." Ashton's voice was hoarse as he glared at Alora coldly.Alora discreetly wiped her tears, and the self-blame and guilt on her face disappeared.When she looked at Ashton again, all that was left on her face was mockery and playfulness."I thought you didn't need my explanation? Just like Mister Xenakis said, things are what it seems. There is nothing to explain."I have already given Mister Xenakis the formula. That belonged to Mister Xenakis in the first place. Why should you, a shameless thief, have it instead?"In addition, I do want to marry Mister Xenakis. Please bring plates and chopstick
In the bar, the DJ turned off the music, and the lighting engineer turned on the headlights. People on the dance floor stopped and looked at Ashton."Is this some kind of a show?""Martha's Bar is awesome. They always have the most contemporary performance.""It seems... it doesn't seem to be a show. That guy is dying." Someone pointed to Clifford and reminded them.Clifford had too much blood and a credible bone-deep cut.A killer charged at Ashton, and three charged toward Clifford.Clifford remained a threat despite his serious injuries. His strength was recognized as he was the second Azureton Sect disciple.Ashton's attacker severely underestimated the situation. He thought it was the easiest task, but it was his last.The blade he swung at Ashton was sandwiched between Ashton's fingers.Ashton did not stop drinking. His head hurt, but his heart was in worse pain.Ashton did not even look at his attacker. One flick of his fingers shattered the knife into pieces before th
Ashton looked around the fire's ruins.Clifford rushed into the fire desperately and made a mess of himself by going in and out."If you go in again, you will die.""Dad! Mom! Sister!""Calm down. There is no smell of blood at the scene, and there are no bodies. This indicates that your family has been taken away, and their lives are not in danger for now.""How do you know that their lives are not in danger?" Clifford sat on the ground in embarrassment."Where are the bodies if the other party is here to kill?"Clifford shook his head."That's it. The opponent's goal is not to kill but to hold them hostage.""Wait, since they are holding your family hostage, they must have a plan," Ashton said.Clifford's eyes flickered and dimmed, and he finally sighed. "They are for this."He took out the sachet again.Inside the sachet was a white pill."This Strength Spiker Pill can greatly increase the power of an inner strength warrior."I got this by accident during a treasure hun
"He's with me. Does he still need to take the test?" Clifford said."Of course. It's business as usual. Besides, as long as you meet the basic martial arts standards, you can enter. If he is your friend, he should be strong enough to ring the bell, right?" the guard said with a smile."Let me try."Ashton stood in front of the bronze clock and tapped a finger on the bronze clock.Buzz...The copper bell made a slightly crisp sound.The people in charge smiled at Ashton and said, "The power you hold in one finger could match the full strength of an entry-level warrior. Presumably, you must have reached the completion for horizontal cultivation."Ashton smiled."Please come in. Please come in."As the last group of warriors, the two went up the mountain smoothly.At the foot of the mountain, there was still a fierce discussion about what had happened."That Clifford might be good at fighting, but his life is miserable now.""Oh? Why is that?""I heard he was removed from the
He did not want to give the pills to anyone. He just wanted the girl he loved to have it, even if the girl no longer belonged to him."Look at my dear disciple."Among the crowd from the Azureton Sect was an old man with a goatee. He had a gloomy smile."Amelia, Clifford called for you, go quickly." He pushed the girl.The girl's eyes were dull, and she walked toward Clifford with a blank expression.Clifford looked at her, and his heart melted."Amelia, how are you doing these days?""I... I'm fine." Amelia said blankly."Did they bully you? Tell me if they did, I will avenge you!" Clifford's eyes reddened.Amelia shook her head. "No, Master was very kind to me, and he will teach me cultivation methods at night."Clifford did not trust Amelia's claims. Hector Hubbert, his master, used force to take Amelia away, even though she loved him. He did not believe Hector did not hurt Amelia."That's good to hear. In the future, if I'm not around, you must take good care of yourself
"However, since you want evidence, I shall provide them."Ashton pulled a tiny silver dart from his pockets and threw it straight at Amelia's head before everyone could react."Ashton, you—" Clifford looked at him in panic."Don't you feel like she's acting differently? Even though I don't know her, I can see at a glance that she's in an abnormal state. Her eyes are unfocused, and her actions are rigid, dull, and stiff," Ashton said.When Clifford frowned, Ashton smiled and said, "She was bewitched.""If I'm right, that should be witchcraft. Your master is controlling Amelia. She will show unconditional loyalty and obedience to the person who did the hex. This cultivation technique has been banned in Xenagoras for a long time. I did not expect the Azureton Sect to dabble with these things."Clifford was furious when he heard that. He glared at Hector. "Why are you doing this to Amelia? She listens to you already. Why did you need to hex her?"Many in the crowd were from other se
