Hector bowed his head respectfully. "Someone here has slandered the Azureton Sect with rumors. Therefore, I am here to settle the scores. Once resolved, we will resume our journey and arrive at the conference on time."Wade nodded, turned his gaze, and saw Cayson with broken iron pieces lodged all over his body. He could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly. "What a cruel method to hurt others."Then he glanced at Ashton again. "What sect are you from? Don't you know that the Azureton Sect is affiliated with the Willows Shape Will Sect?"His words implied that anyone who opposed the Azureton Sect was his enemy.Many people held their breath.Wade would speak for Azureton Sect. That kid was unfortunate. He thought he could handle the Azureton Sect, but Wade's arrival changed everything."It's over. It's really over for him. I didn't expect Grandmaster Willows to stand up for the Azureton Sect publicly. Now, this is really over." Master Macall shook his head frantically.Lilah
Everyone held their breath."A few years ago, a sudden change in the Imperial Capital caused Ashton to lose his mind and make an irreparable mistake, and this mistake got him exiled from the family."In other words, now, Ashton has nothing to do with the Levin family," Fenix said with a smile."What? Ashton? He's Ashton?""Isn't he the one Grandmaster Willows had challenged to a duel?""I thought Grandmaster Willows was about to fight against an unknown martial arts master. I wanted to come and admire a duel between actual masters, but I did not expect..." Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.Wade was stunned when he heard the name. "He is Ashton?""Grandmaster Willows, you challenged him to a duel. You don't know what he looks like?" Fenix said with a smile."Huh." Wade did not care. "I never look at my opponent; everyone is the same to me."Fenix gave a thumbs up. "The confidence of the strongest man in Southern Lindorm is extraordinary."Then, he looked at Ashton ag
"Is he human?"The people watching Ashton's punch flatten the mountain were about to drop their jaws in shock.Even Clifford's mind blanked."Do you think that was all I can do?"An unprecedented force broke out from Wade's elixir core. The ground exploded, sending rocks flying over in all directions.Wade condensed his strength on his right hand, swung at the rocks, and slapped Ashton with a palm."Grandmaster Willows, kill him!" Cayson roared frantically. No one wanted Ashton to be dead more than he did.His hatred for Ashton was deep.However, all that hatred turned into desperation in the next second.Ashton caught the deadly blow of Wade's whole body with one hand.Cayson thought Ashton's eyes flickered with gold light.Was he human?"You are too weak—I did not expect a grandmaster to have so little to offer. You may be worthy of my true strength if you are stronger." Ashton slammed Wade's head into the ground, then kicked him off the cliff.The whole process was cris
"The New Year has just passed, right? Many of my friends have been talking about a gathering. I have skipped it for many years, but I'm running out of excuses for this year. I want you to accompany me and act as my husband."Ashton laughed and asked, "Why a husband? Can't I go as a friend?"Kendra's face darkened. "I told them I was married to avoid some annoying people, but now they want to meet my husband."Where can I find a husband so quickly? I can't settle for ordinary men."Ashton, just do it. Accompany me this once...""Okay, okay, I'll do this. Stop it." Ashton smiled bitterly.He could not stand Kendra acting cute in front of him."Do you want to change clothes? Is it appropriate to wear this to a party?" Ashton pointed to his clothes."What's wrong with this? I think this looks good. I'm sick of seeing suits and ties all day."Ashton smiled indifferently. "As long as you don't think I'll embarrass you.""No, I'm happy." Kendra was delighted. Even though none of tha
"Never been to school?"Everyone's faces suddenly changed.In that day and age? Never been to school? It was simply absurd."Is this your way of refusing to answer my question? It's okay. Let's sit down and have some drinks. Just to warm up a little. Me and Reynard are good talkers," Beckett said politely.He patted, made room, and invited Ashton to sit."You misunderstood. I really haven't gone to school, let alone heard of any Scanfort Research Institute. My medical skills are self-taught, and I don't even have a medical qualification certificate. But Kendra saw me for my worth," Ashton said generously.Beckett's expression stiffened. "Kendra, what is this?"Everyone looked to Kendra for an answer.Kendra grabbed Ashton, sat on an empty sofa, and leaned on his shoulder. "Does it matter? You guys are too bound by rules and regulations even to meet the right person, and you complain in the group chat all day that you can't find love."Beckett and Reynard looked at each other.
"Mister Churney, I have already terminated the contract with the company, and I will pay the penalty for breach of contract. What do you want now?" Ellora's face was pale as she clutched the sofa with both hands. Her words were indifferent, but anyone could tell she was nervous.Mister Churney sneered at her and said, "Ellora, you know how much money you're earning for the company. The company has trained you for so long. Now is the time when you can finally make money for the company. Who do you think you are to quit whenever you want?"You must work as long as the company wants you to and do as they want. You know what happens to girls who defy company orders. I hope you choose well."Mister Churney waved his hand. "Take her away!"A group of black-clad bodyguards swarmed into the room."Don't you dare!" Reynard slammed the table and glared at the man."Damn it! You think the law doesn't apply here, huh? Don't you dare touch her. I will skin you alive!"Reynard stood with a st
A chill ran down Reynard's spine.He knew assaulting a Xenakis would lead to retaliation. He had no time to escape; he was surprised they acted so quickly.'Damn it,' he thought. 'It's all because of that idiot Levin speaking without thinking. He forced me to act tough, and now I'm in deep trouble. What do I do next?'Mister Churney lit a cigarette; he smirked gleefully as he looked at Reynard."Weren't you acting tough just now? Why don't you continue?" he asked mockingly."Let's see if your fists can take our knives."Reynard forced a smile. "It's a misunderstanding. All of this is just a misunderstanding."Manager Xenakis scoffed. "A misunderstanding? No one dares to create misunderstandings with the Xenakis family. If you meddle in Tamron Entertainment's business, be prepared to face the Xenakis family's wrath."You're Reynard, right? Founder of the Houston Group. You dared to hit my men. You're bold. I can't call myself a man if I don't break your hands today."Mister Chu
"Do you expect me to let someone like you go without a lesson? Do I seem like a joke to you?"Instantly, the group of thugs made a move.Ashton looked up and wiped an oil smear from the corner of his mouth with a napkin. He put down his utensils and said, "It's quite impolite to interrupt someone during their meal.""Excuse me?" Manager Xenakis was surprised, clearly amused. Why did someone always choose the worst possible moment to intervene?"Was that you who just spoke?" Manager Xenakis looked at Ashton, sizing up the young man before him, his intentions darkening."You little brat! I'll use you as an example today to send a clear message to everyone. If I don't, everyone will assume they can challenge me," Manager Xenakis said, his eyes fixed on Ashton.Ashton gave him an indifferent glance. "I'd advise you to take your men and leave while I'm still in a good mood."A stunned silence filled the room, all eyes turning to Ashton with a blend of shock and disbelief. Reynard and
