Ashton stared at her in a daze, recalling their wedding day six years earlier.Alora was also in a wedding dress. She was smiling, and she was happy. The couple swore an oath in church while holding hands. Ashton felt like the luckiest man in the world.From then on, Ashton considered letting go of his hatred and living peacefully with Alora for the rest of his life.However, change was inevitable.Ashton did not want to believe it, but it happened.Even though Alora changed, Ashton still loved her. At least he did until Jaxson happened.However, now, Jaden had shown him the truth. All those misunderstandings and betrayals were just Alora sacrificing herself to protect him. After learning the truth, Ashton did not even have the words to describe the pain in his heart, especially when he saw Alora in a wedding gown, ready to be married to someone else. Ashton could barely breathe at the sight."Don't dwell on the past anymore. As you said, you were disgusted with what I did, and
"Alora!" Jaxson's expression was hideous. His eyes were cold and threatening."Alora, are you crazy? Do you know what you're talking about? Apologize to Mister Xenakis! Then finish the wedding!" Florence panicked.Alora was unmoved; her eyes were already wet with tears.'Why can't you live for yourself? Why can't you live for the one you love?' She kept questioning herself in her heart.She had always been bound. She yearned for freedom. Once, she wanted to believe in Ashton, her chosen lover."Think about this, Alora. Mister Xenakis has given us everything we have now. You're condemning us to a terrible fate. Do you even think of us as family?" Howard roared.Alora remained silent, just crying constantly."This crazy woman! She's marrying Mister Xenakis, the Xenakis family heir. But she dares to humiliate him in public. Even if Mister Xenakis doesn't care about this, the family will never let her go. Only blood can wash this shame away!" Many distinguished guests came from the
Oudos was shocked. Then, he sneered. "Azureton Sect? A mere Azureton Sect wants to meddle in the affairs of the Xenakis family?"Clifford smiled disdainfully. "And who is the Xenakis family? Ashton gives an order, and I will swing my sword at anyone regardless of their identity!"Oudos frowned. "Good, very well." Then he looked at Alora. "I'll ask you again—do you want to go with this scum and cancel your marriage with the Xenakis family? Are you sure you want to humiliate the Xenakis family publicly?"If you make an enemy out of the Xenakis family, I promise I will kill every one of the Latham family members!"Florence almost fainted.Howard collapsed on the ground. Then, he roared, "Alora, you stupid woman! If you want to die, then do it yourself. Don't drag all of us with you! You're ruining my life!"Everyone in the Latham family, even distant relatives, yelled or threatened Alora.Alora's heart grew cold with disappointment as she heard those words."Alora, come to me. I w
The bloody skull was thrown casually into the hall's center.Ashton casually wiped his bloody hand with a cloth on the bench.He looked too casual to have done something as bloody as that.Everything happened so fast that the young man did not realize what happened. His subconscious hand touched his head, but it was bloody paste.He fell limp to the side; he did not even have a chance to say his last words.The people who had been laughing and talking with him were shocked; some started to flee."Arrogant little shit!""Kill him!"Oudos gave an order, and the guards rushed toward Ashton to kill him."Nobody moves!""I will shoot whoever dares to move!"Suddenly, a group of black-clad, knife-wielding young men entered the door. They faced the Xenakis family guards, but neither side acted rashly.Anthony, dressed in a windbreaker and holding a pistol, walked in."Who are you?" Oudos looked at him coldly."I'm Anthony Scott. If you dare bully my former son-in-law, I will ens
"Howard, stop wasting time! If you don't pack your bags quickly, you can't run away even if you want to when the Xenakis family comes here later," Florence shouted in a hoarse voice while rummaging through the cabinets and packing her gold, silver, and jewelry."Mom, Livia said that Levin has turned the tide around." Howard sat blankly in the living room."What nonsense were you on about? That is not possible.""It's very likely that Livia didn't manage to escape, and they caught her. Now they had set up a trap for us, waiting for us to walk into it!""Hurry up, we have to be quick!"Florence grew more anxious. She exploded and cursed when she saw Alora on the sofa. "Alora, you bitch! I regret giving birth to such an ungrateful thing. You're harming your brother, me, and all the Latham family members."Alora frowned and said nothing, with deep worry on her face."Auntie, this is too much. Alora seemed to be a righteous person, and Ashton would never do her wrong. What's so bad a
Jaxson grinned. He had forgotten how long he had been unable to walk with his head up.After learning Ashton was Master Levin of South Edren, he felt tense around him. He only wanted to marry quickly and return to the Imperial Capital with Alora.He could not fight that monster in South Edren.After Ashton crashed his wedding and took Alora, he said nothing. His uncle was the one who confronted the other man. However, he knew his uncle was no match for Ashton in South Edren.After Cillian appeared, everything changed.As a powerful force active in northern Lindorm, Jaxson was surprised that Cillian would appear there, but it was not important. The important thing was that Ashton was finished. With Mister Horton as his main backer, he could wipe Ashton and his forces out of the face of the earth if he wanted to."Levin, did you hear that? Mister Horton wants you to cut off your hands and feet. He wants you to kneel for three days to make amends to the Xenakis family. Everyone here
"Young master? He is?" Cillian was stunned and suspicious of Ashton.Did Jaden's young master come from the family that hired him years ago?"Think about the incident in the Imperial Capital all those years ago." Jaden grinned coldly.Cillian was terrified.The Imperial Capital's most tragic and severe upheaval in 50 years occurred then.That incident caused a significant reshuffle of the Imperial Capital's power structure, and earth-shaking changes occurred.The son of a mysterious family was the root of that change.That young master's name struck fear in everyone's hearts.How horrible could a person be to slaughter 50 members of a prominent family on a snowy night? No one else in that incident made it out alive.Too many legends surrounded that young master. Since then, the prominent families have had one new rule—do not cause trouble at will, let alone provoke unknown people. It was meant to prevent a disaster.It surprised Cillian that the incident's protagonist was rig
"You're asking for this!"Dominic stood up, and the huge tremor made the entire hall tremble slightly as an outburst of energy burst like a tornado."You must go through me before you can do anything to the young master." Jaden slapped the sheath, and all four swords appeared."Ace of Swords, do you think the eight of us are mere decorations?"The eight top masters joined forces to fight Jaden. Even though Jaden was strong, he could not escape the encirclement instantly.For a while, Ashton stood alone.Jaxson was excited when he realized that.The next second, his smile vanished.A mountain-shaking force from outside the door ended Dominic's plans."What?" Dominic was taken aback."Trying to bully my son while I'm away? Hmm?""Dominic, I think you're itching for a fight from all the years I've been gone."An afterimage came in an instant and slapped Dominic. The latter flew backward in response, smashing the furniture in an extremely embarrassing manner.A mighty figure s
