The fact that those off-road vehicles drove over without stopping shocked everyone more. They destroyed the Sheehan family's fleet, crushing over a dozen and turning it into scrap metal.What was happening?After the cars were parked, a group of black-clad fighters rushed out.Connor, dressed casually, led the way and ran toward Ashton."Isn't that Connor from the Quayle family?""Who is the Quayle family? Wealthy? Aristocratic? Who is Connor?" Some people could not help but ask such questions.The Quayle family was not famous. As a hidden family, they had laid low for thousands of years. They preferred to be low-key to develop their family. Their children also kept a low profile. The family would not give their children any pocket money for living expenses. The family elders would not give the younger generation money or rights. Once found out, the consequences were unimaginable.Therefore, most Quayle children were self-reliant.Connor's task of getting close to Ashton was wh
"So, who are you then?" Jacquan's heart sank. He stopped struggling and wanted to know who he lost to.Even Connor from the Quayle family would bow to the man and could make the Sheehan family disappear from the Imperial Capital. He wanted to know the young man's identity."It doesn't matter who I am. The important thing is that even without the Quayle family's intervention, the Sheehan family can't defeat me. That's enough."Jacquan stopped speaking."Take them down!" Connor waved his hand.Everyone knew the Sheehan family was over as Connor's men acted.Nobody expected such a dramatic ending. The Sheehan family was powerful in the Imperial Capital. However, Sondre messed with the wrong woman and ruined everything.Even the most top-notch star in the entertainment industry or the daughter of an aristocratic family would not cause the Sheehan family such an ending. It was Yanne, the woman Ashton wanted to protect, and it involved the Quayle family somehow. It was like the Sheeha
"Ophelia? Why are you here?" Yanne's eyes lit up."You still care about me? Where did you find this man? He looks normal, not as handsome as those idols." Ophelia immediately commented on Ashton."Is it nice to insult me the moment you meet me?" Ashton was not angry. He knew that the other party had saved Yanne. He was grateful to her."I'm just being honest. I'm born beautiful, so I hold a certain standard for beauty." Ophelia sat next to Yanne and scrutinized Ashton."Alright, pretty girl. Your name is Ophelia?" Ashton said with a smile."Yes?" Ophelia grinned and crossed her legs. She picked up a shrimp, stuffed it into her mouth, and said, "Asking about me so soon? Are you using Yanne to get to know me? I will have you know that it's not easy to get to me, especially a scumbag like you. Don't even think about it.""You misunderstood. I'm not interested in you—""What?" Ophelia immediately sat up straight. She scratched her head. "You are not interested in me? Playing hard to
Meanwhile...Alora worked hard to find Ilias.Ilias's spirit was utterly crushed. He appeared depressed and sad.Alora could not believe he was the same person.Ilias glared at Alora and grabbed her neck. "You bitch, why are you lying to me!""Mister Jagoe, calm down! What did I lie to you about?" Alora yelled in horror."That Ashton—who the hell is he?" Ilias yelled in horror."Ashton? He is the third young master of the Levin family in the Imperial Capital. I only recently learned of this identity. Furthermore, he has been expelled from the family and cannot be regarded as a member of the Levin family. He doesn't have much capability at all." Alora struggled and shouted."Bullshit!" Ilias slapped Alora.He quickly calmed down.The bitch might not know anything. A woman like her might not know that the other party was a cultivation powerhouse and an alchemist respected by everyone in the martial arts community. How could she leave Ashton otherwise? The woman was an ignorant
A small giant, about three meters tall, appeared before her."Oh, my god! A monster!" Ophelia exclaimed."This is the master I want to introduce to you." Ashton said, "Call him Alex. He was an orphan."Ophelia knew Alex was strong. A strong man could beat everyone else, right?"Hey, big guy?"The puppet did not move."Alex?" Ophelia tried to shout again.The puppet moved and looked at her.The puppet would follow Ophelia's orders after Ashton gave him one."Wow, Alex's eyes are so fierce. Alex, are you good at fighting? You will help the Latham family fight on stage tomorrow," Ophelia said excitedly with a twinkle in her eyes.Alex did not respond."Alex is not good with words, but I have explained everything to him for you.""Thank you for helping me care for Yanne during this time," Ashton said.Ophelia stared at him suspiciously. "Do you really like Yanne? You're not playing with her feelings again, are you?""I warn you—Yanne is my best friend. I will mess you up if y
Kendra walked forward and took Ashton's arm. "Right, Ash?"Ashton felt disgusted.He did not find it strange when Cassia, Yanne, and even Kaia called him that. On the contrary, with Kendra, that was too conflicting with her personality. A beautiful girl, but a seemingly distant woman, ran to him and called him that in the sweetest voice ever. How awkward was that?Cassia covered her mouth and snickered. She rarely saw Ashton in such a formal state, and she found it amusing."Kendra, you cheater!" Kaia pursed her lips and wanted to join the excitement, but Ashton's hands were full. She could not grab him. She stood and stomped her feet angrily."You have your classmates, but I don't. Why don't you have a good time with your classmates? Do you want to be with a man who already has two women?" Kendra said solemnly.Kendra was talking about herself and Cassia. She shared Ashton with Cassia. The latter had also expressed that before and did not mind.Cassia considered being with Asht
"There are police to protect our safety in a civilized society. We don't need your protection," Hyrum said confidently.Ashton said nothing more. He led everyone from the restaurant to Champions Village's center.A team of heavily armed soldiers checked IDs at the entrance."What is this? So formal? Are they troops from the warzone? Which important figure will be here?" the boy beside Hyrum whispered.A place with soldiers, guns, and ammunition usually had a prominent politician or official. Only a major event could explain that."It's good to have important figures around, proving it's safe here." Hyrum glanced at Ashton. "Regardless of the security, it shows that they are all first-class."Ashton looked away without speaking. A strong wind blew from afar, and he saw a dark shadow stumble.People only noticed a middle-aged man in a black military uniform when they stopped. Blood covered his arm, which was half cut off. It hung limp on the side, only connected by loose skin. His
She looked beautiful but haggard.Alora also saw Ashton. He wanted to turn around and walk away but did not expect her to walk straight to him."Long time no see."Ashton stopped. "It's best if we don't see each other.""You hate me?" Alora pursed her lips and laughed miserably. "Yeah, how can a woman like me have a man who likes me? But no matter how things are between us now, you can't deny we had a relationship for several years, right?"Ashton frowned. "Say what you want. I still have things to attend to."Alora asked, "You know many warriors, right?"I hope you can be a middleman and introduce me to some of them. I can pay you."Ashton understood the situation when he heard it.Ophelia previously stated that the Latham family's fighter defected. The Latham family had no one to defend them. That meant the Latham family would be eliminated from the top 15 and dethroned as an aristocratic family in the Battle of Champions. Thus, many of their rights and interests would be re
