"What? What did you say? I'm not talking about the head of the Royal Sealift Group. I'm talking about that wench by the door. You've got it wrong!" Howard's face reddened as he explained.Alora also said in a panic, "Everyone, you are mistaken. Howard is not trying to insult the head of the company."The middle-aged man mockingly said, "It looks like you don't know who she is, and you're already barking like wild dogs. How tragic."Alora frowned. Those people were speaking so vaguely and even insulted them. They had crossed the line. She would have already shot back at them if they were not older and more powerful than she was.Alora watched the woman by the door enter with a document before walking on stage.When she arrived, the whole place fell silent.Alora suddenly felt terrible.Could she be…"Let's welcome the head of the Royal Sealift Group, Kendra Lockwood. She will be hosting the signing ceremony," the host said before handing the microphone to Kendra.Kendra looked
"That explains why women busy with their careers always ignore many things around them."Forget it. Let's wait and see." After speaking, Kendra turned and left."Miss Lockwood, I want to ask you something," Alora called out from behind her."My proposal was approved because of Ashton, right?"Kendra paused, pushed her hair behind her ears, and smiled. "I initially wanted to be petty and reject your proposal plan, but Ashton told me to be fair and accept your project as long as it was good enough.""So that's what happened." Alora gritted her teeth, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.She took a favor from that useless man. Even though he did nothing substantive, just one sentence from him greatly impacted the Alora Group.She needed to understand why Ashton would do that. He should have chosen revenge instead.However, she thought of another question. Did Tyson not claim he called his father to help her with the Royal Sealift Group? Did Tyson lie to her?At the end of the sig
"Why are you suddenly so formal with me? Just say what you want to say, and ask if you have any questions.""I briefly chatted with Miss Lockwood at the signing ceremony just now. Alora Group winning the bid seems to have nothing to do with your father, but I remember you told me that your father had facilitated that matter. Was that the case?"Tyson's heart skipped a beat.She had noticed that detail.Fortunately, he had prepared his speech in advance.Tyson still looked calm on the surface, smiling brightly. "That's it? Alora, you must know that the entire Royal Sealift Group is huge, and the Cox Group can't compare. My dad doesn't talk to Miss Lockwood directly, but I can assure you that my dad helped, and he helped a lot. If you don't believe me, I'll call my dad now." Tyson took out his phone very calmly and called his father on the spot to inquire about the matter. He thoughtfully turned on the loudspeaker so Alora could hear the conversation."I'm sorry, Mister Cox, I misu
"That's Cedric for you. He's the same when it comes to martial arts. He doesn't give up and is quite showy. Don't mind him, Ashton. He has a good heart," Leonard said, trying to resolve the conflict between the two.However, Ashton did not buy it. He said, "He might have a heart of gold, but he sure has a rotten mouth. Mess with the wrong person, and he might end up with his tongue cut off.""Boy, you're courting death!" Cedric was furious when he heard what Ashton had said. How dare he refute him? Cedric almost threw a punch at Ashton there and then.Fortunately, Leonard glared at him to stop him, saving his life."We'll have a lot of time in the future. I'll play with you slowly, then. Let's see how long you can last," Cedric said harshly.Along the way, Ashton ignored Cedric and closed his eyes.About half an hour later, Swan Lake was within sight.Travis from the Black Draco Guild had arrived.That so-called gauntlet still concerned the other party, and they risked their li
There was a saying—brawl with fists and kill with knives."How can you be so strong? What's your relationship with Wade?"Leonard turned over and struggled to stand, horrified.He had touched the threshold of the inner strength realm at such a young age. Was he Wade's descendant or successor?"Wade is my grandfather, and I am the first-generation successor of the Willows Shape Will Sect. What do you think?" Atropos laughed.Wade was a master of the Will Shape fighting style in current times. He combined ancient martial arts with his understanding of martial arts to create a new system called the Willows Will Shape. He could be considered a grandmaster of contemporary martial arts. He had a high reputation at South Edren.A direct descendant, Atropos likely learned the martial arts style from Wade. No wonder he was strong.A guy like Atropos would never be short of money if he were born into a wealthy family. Why did he come to South Edren? Should he not spread his influence at s
When everyone was in a daze, including Anthony, Julius, Henry, and Leonard, they heard Travis' scream. His voice was simply startling."It's him! Mister Willows, he killed my son and almost killed me!"Mister Willows, please kill him for me, and I will give you another 100 million!"Atropos looked at Ashton on the bank like an ant. "I am not short of money. I want the pendant of the Twin Fish of Light and Dark you took from the Central South antique dealer three years ago," he said lazily.Travis gritted his teeth. "Okay, deal!"Travis's hatred for Ashton ran deep. No one had ever dared to humiliate him the way he did. Ashton came into his office, shouted at him, and even made him kneel. It was humiliating.He vowed to kill this bastard whenever he could, regardless of the consequences!"However, Mister Willows, you must be careful. That guy is also a cultivator and a strong one!" There was a lot of apparent fear in Travis's eyes.Anthony was shocked.He did not expect that th
Ashton marched forward and leaped. The water's sparkling light rippled around it. As he sped up, the lake rippled like lotus flowers.He splashed the water with his toes ten meters from Atropos, and the waves pierced Atropos' body like swords.Atropos screamed and fell to the bottom of the lake.Blood covered the water in a quick moment, looking creepy under the moonlight.After that, Ashton jumped and landed on the boat.The people on the boat stared at him as if he were a ghost.Travis fell dazed on the deck. "It's over. It's over. It's all over!"It was indeed over. If Atropos had not said those words before he made his move, he would still have a chance to beg for mercy. However, his words had pushed him beyond the point of no return."Mister Levin, you are a talented cultivator. You are the strongest person to walk this earth. I admire you so much." Anthony lay on the ground and never got up. His heart was filled with excitement. However, he suppressed his excitement for f
"What's wrong? You can't deal with those remaining minions? Do you need me to take action?" Ashton laughed when he remembered how Anthony had kneeled as he begged for Travis' mercy.Anthony shook his head anxiously. "No, Mister Levin, it's Atropos. I thought he must have powerful connections, but I did not expect them to be that powerful!"After he died, Travis' men spread the news. Within three minutes, someone called me and asked me who killed him.""Oh? Who asked about it?" Ashton asked curiously."The Brash Tigers Army Corps general, Hagan Willows. Atropos was his younger brother, and he wanted to kill the killer's family as retribution," Anthony said in a trembling voice while wiping his sweat."Brash Tigers? They belong to the Lindorm Frontier Defense Department and are very powerful. Their general is Atropos's brother?" Leonard asked."Mister Levin, you should leave South Edren for now. People don't fight against officials. No matter how strong a martial artist is, we won'
