"You!"Lenya was furious and about to respond, but Kanan stopped her.Kanan suppressed his surging emotions. He smiled and said, "Ashton, you are very passionate and climbing up the ladder quickly. How many people in the world can match your spirit? It is no wonder that Sunoria lost."Even though there are countless strong people in the world, the immortal realm is still a threshold. You say you can kill immortals at the touch of a finger, but I do not believe it.""Then, let's bet on it. How about that?" Ashton said with a smile."Bet? How do you want to bet?"Ashton flicked his finger and said casually, "Easy. Let's bet I can beat you with just a touch of my finger."If I can do that, then I win. Otherwise, I lose."If I lose, I'll join your alliance."If I win. You must leave the alliance and watch my home for three years to protect my relatives and friends."Kanan's expression changed drastically."Don't be angry. I know that strong people are proud. Since I made this re
"Let's get started."Kanan did not say a word. He drank the whole bottle.The Water of Life was like a ray of gas that vanished in his throat, transforming into energy that nourished the soul and spread throughout his limbs and bones. Kanan shuddered as if his body had sublimated; that sensation was like a breakthrough, an indescribable comfort.Even though he had not officially broken through the realm, he had already accepted the other party's words. Ashton might be able to assist him.Kanan set aside his distractions and concentrated on his body.Boom!There was a muffled sound in his abdominal cavity.Ashton appeared behind him, and the massive core essence poured into Kanan's body along his meridians, instantly filling his elixir core and penetrating his entire body along the limbs and bones. Kanan's body, like a messy wire, was smoothed out by an inexplicable force."The spiritual power communicates with the core essence, the mind and spirit are united, and three elements
"After all, Mom is also from the Jenison family. Even though their relationship has been broken down over the years, the family has done too much to her. They were family. She wants you to deal with them. She won't come forward.""She also has a small request."Wren chuckled and said, "There is a man named Sherman in the Jenison family, and she wants him to die.""It's a trivial matter." Ashton nodded.His grandmother wanted him to kill that man. That person must have done something that she could not forgive. He had no affection for the Jenison family, and so he had no psychological burden to kill someone from that family.When Ashton and Wren arrived at the Jenison residence, Wren realized that the place had stayed the same. They were immersed, as usual, in various gatherings, business meetings, and drinking among the younger generations.The incident at Ninsours Villa seemed to have not reached the Jenison family's ears.Just as Ashton was about to break in, a figure jumped o
Ashton's thunderous voice instantly spread throughout the Jenison family's home.At that point, whether it was the chef cooking, the nanny cleaning, or the accountant accounting for the numbers in the room, they all came to a halt, stood up, and looked toward the source of the sound.Lorcan Jenison, the head of the Jenison family, was in the hall discussing important matters of cooperation with the leader of the underground forces on Summerfield Island. After hearing that booming sound, he was stunned for a moment and then slammed the table."Who is that little shit? You bold and reckless thing! You dare to cause trouble in the Jenison family manor!"An elderly man in the attic suddenly opened his eyes and looked outside."It's a master!" The old man frowned.He was the distinguished guest on whom the Jenison family had spent a lot of money. As an ascendant, he stayed with the Jenison family to prevent some accidents from occurring in their home.However, as per the Jenison fami
The old man paused in mid-sentence, a surprised expression on his face.How did that stranger find out about his formidable True Martial Ascendant abilities? Had he been snooping around for information before showing up? Maybe he had a plan in the works. If that were the case, he had to be careful. It would be hilarious if he ended up face-planting in a situation he could have handled easily."Oh, you think the strength of a True Martial Ascendant is insignificant? How powerful are you?" the old man asked, his face calm but with a mocking smile."You don't deserve to know.""Want to keep breathing? Then beat it." Ashton's finger pointed toward the exit, his face an icy mask."Full of yourself, aren't you? Let's see what you've got!"Aled Torres, who was in the lead, was quick to react. He was a former disciple of the Hard Diamond Sect who had gone off on his own 40 years before. He had risen from obscurity to grandmaster, even securing the number two spot with the powerful Jeniso
"Honored Master? What Honored Master?" Lorcan was taken aback.No one would have been surprised if someone else had said that. However, it came from Kanan. Everyone doubted their ears. The man was Summerfield Island's modern-day myth, an immortal titan who ruled the entire island. He was unquestionably the most intimidating figure, the true titan. Who could be fit to be his master? Let alone get the honorific title of Honored Master. It was unfathomable. Even advising Kanan would necessitate the person to be a Terrestrial Immortal, right?"Honored Master!" Kanan exclaimed again and made a beeline for the man.Lorcan rubbed his eyes, doubting his own vision. Had someone else taken the place of the Longane family patriarch? However, it turned out that he had not misheard or overlooked anything.There he stood, Kanan, the legend himself."Mister Longane! Mister Longane!"A group of venerable elders emerged from the Jenison family's ranks, bowing deeply to Kanan. The man sent them sc
The suffocating terror that gripped the room seemed to vanish at Ashton's mere gesture."You've wiped them all out. Who am I supposed to ask for the treasure now?" Ashton's voice was distant and detached."Lorcan, it's about time you hand over what's due, don't you think?"Lorcan finally snapped out of his daze, his laughter echoing mournfully."This must be fate! This must be the Jenison family's destiny!"His laughter died, and silence took its place. After a long pause, he faced Ashton and said, "If I surrender the treasure, can you assure me that the Jenison family will be spared?"If not, what's the point in giving it up?"Ashton's brow furrowed. "You think you're in a position to negotiate with me?""I'm just trying to save the Jenison family." Lorcan exhaled heavily."Why do it if you fear the consequences? You should've known that a day of reckoning would come when you stole my grandmother's treasure. Why can't you face it with grace now that it's here?" Ashton's laugh
"Yeah, you should go. I'm getting worried, too," Kendra said, giving him a quick peck on the lips, a sly smile flashing across her face as she stood and moved aside."Hurry up, will you?"Kendra could not bear meeting Ashton's gaze, instead gently nudging him from behind to get him out of the office.Ashton tracked down Cassia's family home after leaving Lockwood Group.The Andrades were a close-knit bunch of well over a hundred members. Cassia's grandmother was the matriarch, the one who made the decisions. She had once tried to sell Cassia to a group called the Dark Thunder Sect for a quick gain.Who knew what kind of nightmare Cassia would be in if Ashton had not intervened?Ashton arrived at the tribe's headquarters, where security was laughably lax. He crept into the three-story structure in the middle of it all, unnoticed by anyone.Ashton arrived at the tribe's headquarters, where security was laughably lax.
