Alora lowered her head and said nothing.Her face paled as her mouth curled into a tragic smile.'Alora, Alora, what are you contemplating? Isn't this your choice?'How can you regret the path you chose? Aren't you ready for everything that's going to happen?'If you are unwilling to be ordinary, then you must do all it takes to climb the social ladder!'Ashton is extraordinary. Are you willing to admit defeat now? You will find a better man than him, climb to the top, and then look at him from above, right?'Alora muttered to herself in her heart, biting down on her lips tightly. Her eyes grew increasingly stubborn."Who was that girl? She insulted Mister Jagoe, and he did not even lose his temper?""The Quayle family. They are a powerful martial arts family in Lindorm. Haven't you heard of them? From the ancient times to the present, they had worked for kings. They have so many cultivators in their family. They have always been in the military sector. Even Douglas Latham, the
"Who's that? Why do you look so scared?" Someone noticed his expression. At the same time, he looked at Ashton and wondered who he was.The person who recognized Ashton was well-informed in the community. It was rare for him to show such an expression. Was the man possibly the eldest son of some hidden family?Lonzo Sharma grinned, looked at Ashton, and said, "Mister Levin, who turned Imperial Capital upside down and slaughtered a wealthy family. He has returned to Imperial Capital. This is quite the big news. Does the old prince know about this?"Ashton moved his lips, but before he could speak, the other party said again, "I'm joking. Everyone here is a fellow martial arts practitioner. We are not the old prince's dogs. We won't snitch on you, Mister Levin, have fun here."Ashton looked at the other party, unsure if he was revealing something or warning him."Hey, Lonzo, what are you talking about? Who slaughtered an entire family? You mean him?" Catelyn's face was a little pale
"Really? Asking for 500-year-old medicinal herbs? Do you even have something of equal value to offer?"Some laughed at Ashton's sign. Others scoffed silently, wanting to see him embarrass himself. Some were interested and thought no one would go to the Martial Arts Exchange Conference and act stupidly.Ashton took a half-palm-sized jade bottle from his pocket, poured out two jasper-colored crystal clear pills, and placed them on the stall table in front of him without explaining.When they saw that, many ran forward, sniffed it, and examined it. They could feel their cells boiling just by smelling the scent.It was by no means an ordinary product.However, they lacked the experience to evaluate the pill."I wonder if you can let me see it?"A woman appeared then. She was tall, beautiful, and wore a long dress. She looked fairy-like."She's from Medicine Valley." Someone recognized the woman at a glance. They lowered their heads and leaned toward the side."Feel free to." Ashto
Would everyone believe a nobody or the son of the Jagoe family, a family of ancient technique practitioners?The result was self-evident.The group's attitude changed instantly."I was wondering how a nobody could own such a powerful thing. He stole it from Mister Jagoe! Damn it, he deserves to die for this!""Mister Jagoe, I will help you regain the pill. As for my payment, can I get one pill?" the man who bid 400,000 dollars said excitedly.He held a grudge when Ashton refused to sell it to him. Ilias was his excuse to avenge himself. Since he had a reason, no one could judge him.However, Ilias shook his head. He knew what the man was doing.Everyone there could fight. The key was to deal with the aftermath after the fight. The Martial Arts Exchange Conference organizer was not someone he could easily provoke. He could not do whatever he wanted there. He might even have to pay a high price to get himself out of trouble.So, the best plan was to frame Ashton by saying that th
"What?""Did I hear him right? Did he refuse? That's Medicine Valley. Their guest pill alchemist is equivalent to a powerful elder in other sects. He will have supreme privileges, and he will have a higher social standing than any aristocrat. He refused?""Is he crazy?"Some sneered at Ashton as they shook their heads and sighed. "He thinks too highly of himself. He has no idea how many people are watching him. He can only survive by becoming the Medicine Valley's guest pill alchemist. Otherwise, the Jagoe family and powerful sects here will split him up and rob him after he leaves Soho Manor, leaving him with nothing.""So naive of him."Ashton's refusal made many people invested in the drama. Initially, Ilias would not dare to hurt him if he agreed to be Medicine Valley's guest. Since he refused, they wondered what Ilias would do to him."You refuse?" Rowena was unsure if she had heard Ashton wrong. She frowned and looked at the other party in disbelief.She thought her offer
However, he was surprised that the group did not attack him after he left Soho Manor. He did not know if they were waiting for someone to launch the attack.After all, nobody wanted to lead in such an uncertain situation."Well, why do I have a bad feeling? It's as if many people are staring at me?" Catelyn shrugged and glanced back suspiciously, only to find no one on the dark road."As a member of the Quayle family, you don't even practice martial arts. You're just an ordinary person. This is surprising." Ashton glanced at her. Any martial arts practitioner would feel people following them, but Catelyn could not tell. She just felt as if someone had their eyes on her. That was only her sixth sense, not the subtle senses of martial arts practitioners.The Quayle family was an authentic martial arts family, and their traditions had been passed down for generations. They had been a pillar of the country for centuries. They played an important role in Hamilton City. In some ways, the
"That's what you see on the surface. You can't imagine how messy the entertainment industry is." The man sitting next to Secoya smiled. "On the bright side, she may seem clean and innocent. But in secret, perhaps those rich and influential directors already had their way with her. She could be played rotten for all you know."Boom!Everyone's eyes fell on Ashton.Ashton's loud strike on the table nearly scared everyone."What are you doing? Are you insane?" Jeremy Garcon was shocked and lost his temper."You better keep your mouth shut.""Are you threatening me? Do you think I'm scared? If you weren't Catelyn's plus one, I'd be slapping you now." Jeremy had never dealt with disrespect. He stood up and glared at Ashton."You can try." Ashton's expression remained."Fuck, you're arrogant." Whyte also stood up from his seat and backed Jeremy up."What are you doing, you guys? Sit back down." Secoya hurriedly mediated the situation. She stood up and looked at the two men with a d
They could not explain why, but they felt as if they had died at that moment. The feeling came and went quickly. The feeling was fleeting, like a hallucination.When Jeremy and Whyte looked at each other, they saw suspicion.What an embarrassing thing to be intimidated by the arrogant prick's shouts."Catelyn, I don't want to see this person in the future. You have to cut off all contact with him. He's a lunatic." Secoya took a deep breath and gritted her teeth.Catelyn smiled bitterly, embarrassed and eager to find a place to hide herself.What was that all about?She could not verify Ashton's claims. Why did he not go to her if they were friends? Why did he need someone to arrange their meeting? How could he pay so much to meet someone?That did sound like what a crazy fan would do.However, only a bigger fool would refuse that amount of money. A person who could spend millions to hire her as his tour guide should have enough money in their bank to pay for that.Catelyn knew
