"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
Everyone was stunned, including Secoya, Whyte, and even Catelyn.They thought a fight was coming, but they did not expect someone to die or have their head cut off and roll around bloodily on the ground."Argh!" The air rang with a female scream.Secoya took two steps backward and fell onto the ground. Catelyn went to support her and stayed by her side. Then she looked back at Ashton. She knew those people were there for Ashton, but he did not seem nervous. He was calm; it was as if these people were nothing to him."Don't be afraid, it's okay, these people are not here for you. As long as you cooperate with them, you won't be hurt." Catelyn comforted her friend.Jeremy quickly got into the car and shouted frantically. "Drive, kill him! Get out of here, hurry up! Fast! Faster!"The driver reacted quickly; he slammed on the gas pedal, and the car engine roared.The warrior in front of the car pressed down onto the car's hood with one hand. The entire second half of the car was li
"Alex!" Ashton yelled.Then, something happened. A courageous figure appeared like a god, stood in front of Ashton, and took the punch.Boom!With a crisp sound, the expression of the warrior who threw the punch changed drastically.His name was Wenton Suffield. He was a master horizontal cultivator. He had reached the highest level of horizontal cultivation, and his body was comparable to steel. Once, even the host of Stalwart Monastery praised his strength as comparable to an inner strength cultivator. If he broke through to the realm of inner strength, he would be stronger than any other inner strength cultivator. He could even join Stalwart Monastery and become one of the guardians as a layman.Despite his strength, his entire hand went numb. He ached badly, and his organs seemed to have moved. He took a closer look. A muscular man over two meters tall stood in front of the kid. He had no expression or life in his eyes. He looked inanimate but exuded power. "Ash, are you o
