"Kendra, have you thought about it? Some decisions are irreversible."You said you want to take charge of your life and live a free life. You—"Ashton was interrupted by the voice on the phone. For a while, Ashton sighed faintly. "We are friends, and you can tell me about any difficulties you are facing."Okay, I see."He then hung up the phone.Ashton was a little uneasy, and Kendra sounded uncertain.After considering it, he visited the Lockwood family manor.The phone rang again. It was Jaden.Ashton took the call."What? Really?"Ashton was silent for a while.After hanging up, Ashton rushed to the Lockwood family manor.The Lockwoods once let Ashton on all their premises. Previously, he could freely enter the Lockwood family's place, but the situation had changed. Several security guards outside the Lockwood family manor stopped Ashton and refused to let him through."Sorry, Mister Levin. Mister Lockwood says that no one is allowed to enter during this period. If you
Ashton returned to Caring Health Corp to deal with some things. He went to talk to Jaden and finally said goodbye to Alora.He lied to her. He informed Alora that he was going on business. He did not tell her he was going to Harbor Island or that it was because of Kendra.He did not want her to overthink.After four hours on the high-speed rail, Ashton felt Kaia tricked him into going. She chatted with him all the way.She told him she grew up in a strict environment and had almost no playtime. She was finally admitted to a famous university and was immediately arranged to go to Sunoria to further her studies.She went home to reconnect with her family and to have an opportunity to finally relax and enjoy the scenery and views of her home country."Does your sister know about me coming to Harbor Island?" Ashton asked."I don't know. My sister's phone has been turned off, and I can't reach her." Kaia shook her head. She looked depressed.Ashton tried to call Kendra, but it went
Danton and Ashton ran out of the house.A lot of people had gathered outside. Those people were all in their 20s, and they looked fierce.Felisa was on the ground. Someone was tugging at her hair. She had bright red slap marks on her face and a few scratches on her neck."Little bitch, how dare you push Wolfgang? Who do you think you are?"If you don't take off your clothes and let me have fun with you, I will not let this matter slide!"A man in his 20s or 30s was slapping Felisa. He had tattoos all over his body and a cigarette in his mouth as he spoke.A woman next to him was grabbing at Felisa's hair. She had almost identical tattoos all over her body as well.Soon, several men and women who looked like college students appeared and came to Felisa's aid."Felisa, what happened? Hey! Why are you bullying a girl? Let her go!""Yes, let go of Felisa!"The two girls were courageous enough to push the tattooed girl aside and help Felisa up.Then, two boys also approached them
"Kneel! All of you kneel!"An ax-wielding man yelled at Felisa's supporters."I will cut whoever doesn't kneel first."The two girls knelt on the ground.Then, the two boys followed."Kneel, kneel."When he saw them, Danton immediately knew they had messed with the wrong people. He kneeled, dragging Felisa down with him.Even though Felisa was unwilling to follow orders, she was scared.The Ax Club belonged to the Cardona family, Harbor Island's third most powerful family. No one on Harbor Island dared to provoke them except for the other three major families.Since Wolfgang could summon men from the Ax Club, it meant that he had ties with the Cardona family.The Cardona family could easily make a few college students disappear without a trace."I am from the Segal family, so please give me some leeway," Harlan said cautiously with a smile."I'll kill you." Wolfgang slapped him."The Segal family? I know members of the Segal family. Who the hell are you? Which end of the l
The metal bullet turned into dust in Ashton's hands.Wolfgang thought, 'What the hell? Is he a monster?'Ashton slapped Wolfgang's face before he could think further."The Ax Club?"Wolfgang?"Firing your gun?"Wolfgang's half-face was bloody after three slaps.Danton and Felisa's friends stood up. They looked at each other. Shocked, they wondered why Ashton was unharmed when Wolfgang shot him.Was the gun fake?They did not see Ashton catch the bullet empty-handed or pinch the metal bullet into powder with only two fingers.There was a strange look in Felisa's beautiful eyes.Ashton was amazing. He was much better than her father, a loser who solved problems with apologies. Ashton was someone Felisa wanted.He was someone who was able to protect himself and those around him. He gave others a strong sense of security.Her two girlfriends also looked at Ashton differently.They were college students and were only in their sophomore year. They had never seen anyone like Ash
"You are Ashton?" Bron had some doubts.According to his intel, Ashton left Harbor Island the night after the incident and returned to South Edren.Someone like Ashton, someone as powerful as he was, should have a lackey running errands for him. Why would he return to Harbor Island for the second time?Bron suspected the person in front of him was not the real Ashton. Maybe he pretended to be Ashton to escape the mess."Wait, you don't have to answer now. Clear the field first." Bron asked his subordinates to quickly send Felisa, Danton, Tarso, and Harlan away.He had his considerations. Bran would kill him on the spot if the man were not Ashton Levin. The others were locals. It would not be hard to capture them later. He could deal with them in the future.If the man in front of him were Ashton Levin, he would kneel and beg for mercy. After all, fighting against a grandmaster was no different than courting death.Bron would never allow anyone to spread the news about him kneeli
Seeing that Ashton was safe and sound, everyone had different expressions on them. Some were surprised, some were calm, and some were disappointed."Harlan, you are so efficient. As soon as you end the call, the matter is resolved. I thought you were lying about being close to Eugene.""Harlan, you must help me in the future. You are so lucky. When Eugene inherits the Segal family as the head of the family, you will be his right-hand man. Then, you will also be someone important in Harbor Island."The girl next to him hurriedly shushed them."It's as if Harlan is not already someone important now. Everyone in our university knows him."The few people who were originally silent started talking.Another girl beckoned to Ashton. "You have to thank Harlan. If it weren't for him, Bron would never have let you go.""What are you talking about?" Ashton did not find it funny."You don't know what we're talking about? Did Bron retreat and bring his men away?"The girl's name was Beatri
Beatrice was still mad at Ashton. She had never seen such a pretentious person.He was not much older than them, but he acted as if he had authority over them while all he did was defeat a few men.If Harlan practiced martial arts, he could even do better.It was just that Harlan did not bother to.Their society paid attention to power, background, and wealth. Martial arts meant nothing. Martial arts practitioners could only work as bodyguards or goons. It was impressive a hundred years ago but no longer had value."What did you say?" Bron paused, turned around, and looked at her coldly.Beatrice almost peed herself."Sorry, Mister Cardona, Beatrice was talking nonsense." The other girl hurriedly covered Beatrice's mouth.Beatrice had a moment of courage and removed the girl's hand."Why were you afraid of that Levin dude? You guys made too much fuss about him. I've always thought you were the mightiest. If not for the Segal family, Levin would be dead."Bron's face twitched.
