A line of red-flagged cars slowly left South Edren.Pyunik sat in the last car.Darek and Master Purdue were in the same car. Pyunik did not worry about Darek leaving halfway with Master Purdue watching him."Sir, do you want me to go back and take that kid secretly and bring him to your house? How dare he humiliate you like this; he deserves to die!""If it weren't for that old monster Levin, I would have drawn my sword and killed him on the spot."The man in the passenger seat spoke angrily.Pyunik waved his hand indifferently, "He's just a useless clown. Let him live for a few more days. The top priority now is Darek. Completing this task will greatly help Master's grand plan.""Remember, the plan involves the world, not a nobody.""Yes, sir!""Hmm." Pyunik closed his eyes in relief.Then, he felt a hand on his shoulder.He heard a voice immediately."A dog thinks it's important enough to talk about changing the world? What does your master feed you with? Confidence?"P
The messenger of god and Kylin King's dispute nearly exploded their car. The entire street would be blown to pieces if they could not control their power.However, the display of strength was too much for the front-row driver. He almost suffocated in the car.After a long silence, Master Purdue's golden sheen of holy light broke, and he spat blood."Mister Levin, I didn't expect you to be this strong. With such strength, why are you still willing to see the old prince? You know it won't be easy to leave once you are there."Darek smiled playfully. "Because I want to see him."Ashton got out of the car and wiped the blood from his hands on the side of the road. He looked at the convoy that was driving into the dust. His smile got colder.He never thought that the book that his father gave him was a relic left by his mother or that it was also something that the old prince wanted to get.However, he had burned the book. He would never forget its content.South Edren was calm agai
Ashton was taken aback.Then, he smiled.The two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau from the clinic. They received a marriage certificate again, as they did years earlier."This time, I will withstand the pressure and never change my mind. Despite future challenges, I will stay with you." Alora looked at Ashton seriously."We got back together because of Yanne. And we are willing to let go of the past, too. I hope there will be no more changes in the future," Ashton said."Hmm." Alora leaned into Ashton's arms and nodded softly.Suddenly, she asked softly, "What about Kendra? She seems to be interested in you. She helped with the Xenakis family, right?"Livia's words popped into her head. Kendra had tried to help Ashton many times. She could not be sure if nothing was going on between them."If there were anything between me and her, it would've happened before Yanne. I won't wait until now. Don't worry. She's just a good friend." Ashton smiled. He did not know why, but he felt a
"You don't understand respect and seniority. People from the countryside just don't understand the rules."The old lady, Lainy Laska, a native of the Imperial Capital, looked down on anywhere that was not a metropolis."Fourth Grandmother, it is what it is. After all, Alora has never gone abroad for further studies. She has never seen what the world has to offer. Naturally, she doesn't understand the rules of the aristocratic circle in the Imperial Capital." A stylish girl on the side folded her arms on her chest and mocked."What's your name?" Lainy looked at her.The girl looked overjoyed. "My name is Miralda. I graduated from Qale University overseas. I just returned to Lindorm.""Well, yes, after all, there are children who have seen the world." Lainy nodded, expressing approval.On the side, Gustav and his wife were smiling triumphantly.Lainy had praised their daughter in public, but she looked down on Alora instead. That meant that Miralda Latham was better than Alora.C
What the hell?Was it a joke when the Latham elders chose Alora as the heir? How could she join the Imperial Capital's aristocracy?Lainy would show those savages the cruel environment in the Imperial Capital. Even if the main Latham family accepted them back into their ranks, they could only live with their tails between their legs. If they dared to be presumptuous, they would be taught a lesson they would never forget.Ashton smiled as he held the teacup. His energy seeped into the tea, and the warm tea instantly boiled."Didn't you say that the water was too cold? Please accept this cup of boiling tea with a smile." Ashton poured it onto her face.Lainy rose from her seat, drenched."It's hot, it's burning me!" Lainy screamed so loud that her voice might have been heard from miles away."You little shit! What did you do!" Florence was going crazy. How dare he!"Arrest him! Hurry up and arrest him! This is simply lawless!" Gilbert was also dumbfounded.He thought Ashton was
"What did you say? Alora can't hear you."Ashton spoke as they stood at the door.Alora covered her mouth and giggled. 'Ash is so terrible. But he looks so charming when he's protecting me.'Lainy looked furious."Alora, I have something to tell you.""Your voice is too soft." Ashton waved his hand."Alora!""I overstepped. I misspoken. I will make it up to you." Lainy's attitude softened.She did not want to apologize, but she feared Alora would act up. Lainy would be guilty if Alora left the Latham family and gave up on being their heir.Alora turned around. "You and I have no grievances with each other. Even though I don't know why you would do this to me, I can tell that you don't mean your apology. You just did it out of fear. I won't accept it.""Alora!" Miralda sneered. "Aren't you taking yourself too seriously? Fourth Grandmother apologized to you. How dare you not accept it? You're not an aristocrat, so who do you think you are?""It's none of your business. You'd b
Ashton reached out to dial Kendra's number, but Alora grabbed his hand to stop him. "I've got this," she said. "I just need to secure 140 million dollars in investment. Combined with my company's contribution, it will be sufficient."Alora always maintained a certain duality in her personality. Around Ashton, she showed her softer, more vulnerable side. Yet, in public, she remained resolute, never showing weakness. She confessed that she once was jealous of Ashton's closeness with Kendra. That lingering jealousy made it hard for her to accept Kendra's help, especially through Ashton.Recognizing her struggle, Ashton put his phone away and gave Alora a comforting glance. Together, they left the living room and headed outside."Don't worry," Ashton said, comforting her. "I have my ways. By tonight, I'll find the perfect project for you."Alora shook her head, smiling, "With the formula in my possession, securing a few million in investments should not be an issue."She narrowed her
In the end, Ashton chose to remain silent. If he could not bring happiness to someone, it was best not to interfere with their decisions or leave room for speculation. Such restraint was the very least form of respect he could offer.Two days flew by.On the third day, Ashton arrived at the headquarters of Royal Sealift Group. Miss Smith, the person responsible for the project's day-to-day operations, hefted a substantial stack of documents onto the table and handed a prepared speech to Ashton. Wiping sweat from her brow, she said hesitantly, "Mister Levin, this speech was penned by a life energy professor from Edren University. Miss Lockwood suggests that you just read from it during the event. If anyone tries to corner you, remain silent. We have appointed specific personnel onsite to handle detailed queries.""Corner me? Why would anyone try to corner me?" After skimming through the speech, Ashton laughed, then set it on the table.Caught off guard by Ashton's query, Jocelyn Smi
