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
No matter their strength, every cultivator had a weak spot. If one could find their opponent's weaknesses, they could easily control them.When two inner strength cultivators worked together to grab a person's shoulder blades, it would render that person's upper body movements useless. Well, unless he was a grandmaster who could instantly externalize his inner strength and kill the two people. Otherwise, it was impossible to violate the laws of the human body and take actions that violated common sense.It was a pity that the two made a mistake.Since Alex was not human, he did not need to follow human anatomy laws.Alex crossed and grabbed the two men's wrists after twisting his arms 180 degrees counterclockwise."How can it be?"The two inner strength cultivators looked shocked."He is not a living person. I don't see any blood or feel his heartbeat. This is a puppet!" One of them yelled in horror."He had killed so many cultivators with just a puppet. No wonder he was not af
Homer did not understand. Was he not a grandmaster? Then what was he?An ascendant?Was it possible for one to reach such heights in their 20s? If word got out, it would set off an unprecedented storm in the entire martial arts community. Countless hidden masters would come out of their hiding just to kill him because if he had another few years or more, no one in the entire Lindorm would be able to beat him.The rules would change, and his words would be law.Unfortunately, Homer could not live to see that day.He did not even know how he died. He only felt hundreds of bullet-like energy balls penetrate his body instantly.Ashton stood quietly under the street lamp, hands at his back as if he had stepped on a few insignificant bugs, and it was not worth changing his mood.On the other side, a figure ran away in the darkness.It turned out that Ilias sent more than one guard. He asked someone to watch the whole thing from the sides, just in case.He did that to prevent someone
"They are just a group of sewer rats trying to sneak up on me. Do you think they will admit to robbing me tomorrow in Soho Manor?"Catelyn was silent for a while.Most of that was a dumb loss due to those hypocrites. If they admitted it, their sects would suffer, and they would be mocked for killing themselves while trying to rob Ashton.Ashton could visit Soho Manor the next day without being targeted. Of course, everything was uncertain."Well, anyway, my task is just to be a guide. It doesn't matter." Catelyn shrugged.She parted ways with Ashton at the restaurant entrance.Secoya was still in shock tonight; Catelyn had to send her back to school.In Whyte's car, the three were in shock and had not recovered for a long time. Finally, Secoya spoke first."Catelyn.""If you can forget about tonight, forget it. It doesn't have much to do with you. There is a high probability that you will not encounter similar things in the future." Catelyn knew what she wanted to say.After
Catelyn's cheeks flamed with color. "Well, if you say so…"Ashton's lips curled into a mischievous grin. "If this is your idea of a seduction ploy, does that mean you're at my mercy now?"Catelyn's heart raced with anxiety. "What are you planning to do?""Oh, nothing too wild. Maybe book a hotel room for some fun experiments." Ashton chuckled."In your dreams!" Catelyn's face went ghostly white."Look at you. You're not even savvy enough for the basics, yet you're trying to play the seductress. It takes more than a costume change and a pretty pose to make that work." Ashton teased casually.Catelyn looked down, her face a battleground of emotions. She seemed to steel herself, her lips pressed into a thin line. "Fine, I'll play along with your little game. Let's go to that room and get this experiment started."She buried her face in her hands; her cheeks burned so hot she thought they might drip with shame.To her surprise, Ashton's interest waned. He laughed and turned away, w
"What's your problem, kid? I'm here to make an honest trade, don't snub a helping hand."The scrawny man slammed the black case, spilling a thick wad of bills.The crowd grinned at the money, eager for the show.Blackwolf, the fool, had made a little cash overseas, and he was finally too big for his boots. Did he think money could solve everything at the martial arts trade fair?The banner was clear for all to see—they were only interested in those 500 to 1000-year-old ancient medicines. Some had already made the mistake of not knowing, and some remained clueless a day later.Someone decided to clue him in."Blackwolf, get your facts straight. They're after ancient medicine. Your petty cash is not going to cut it."Blackwolf snorted with laughter as if he had heard the best joke ever. "Ancient medicine? Really? You buy that? In business, you haggle. You don't just accept the first price. Those ancient medicines are the crown jewels. One can save your life, and two can get you a
