"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'
"What?"Mister Cox, did I say something wrong?"Howard's dull and stupid look made Tyson think of killing him."Very well, Mister Cox of Edren County, right? Then I'll play along and see if your mayor will cause trouble for me." Hagan picked up the knife.Tyson kneeled without hesitation."General, please spare my life. He was talking shit. I only said one sentence. I did not intend to provoke you.""The Cox family is very powerful?" Hagan raised his eyebrows.Tyson shook his head hard. "No, not at all. The Cox family has gone bankrupt. You're powerful. I am nothing compared to you."Alora's expression froze, and she looked at Tyson suspiciously. "Mister Cox, isn't the Cox family preparing to get listed on the market? Bankrupt? Are you joking?"Tyson sneered. "Who the hell was joking with you?"Damn it! I'm too lazy to keep faking this with you. You bitch! I've been following you for months. I have not even held your hand. That punk Ashton probably got tired of sleeping with
Alora did not dare to disobey Hagan's order.She could see how miserable Yanne was, and she was terrified.She did not understand why Yanne did not contact Ashton. She should know that he could come as soon as possible. Why would she let herself be tortured for nothing? Did she like Ashton? Was that why she wanted to protect him?What a stupid and silly girl.The phone rang for a long time. Suddenly, the other side hung up. Alora was stunned.How dare he ignore her call!Alora was blocked when she called again."What? Can't get through? I don't take this as an excuse. I'll kill you all if I can't find him today." Hagan smiled at her, gently wiping the knife in his hands. The cold light made Alora shiver.Suddenly, Alora had a flash of inspiration."Use her phone instead!"Alora walked to Yanne, who was unconscious, and took out a small pink phone from her pocket.She opened the contacts list and found the number with the name Ash.Ashton answered it immediately. That made A
Ashton swore that he would kill the person who did that to Yanne."Ashton, you little shit! You're finally here!" Florence cursed at him.Alora stared at Ashton, then asked Hagan, "General Willows, can we go now?"Hagan waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to open the gate.Tyson was the first to sneak away.Alora breathed a sigh of relief.The situation was dangerous. The whole family would suffer if Ashton did not arrive.However, Ashton was the one who started that. Should he not solve it? Alora did not owe anyone an apology.Alora hurriedly left the Black Draco Guild headquarters with a peaceful mind.When she got outside, she took a deep breath and looked back.They were already divorced. She had no reason to throw her life away for Ashton, right? They were adults, and it was only necessary for everyone to be responsible for their own actions, right?"Let's go quickly. Why are you still standing here? You want to get involved with Levin? That guy's a troublemaker.
He could not defy Ashton on orders. Even though he knew he would die that day, he had to do as told or endure unimaginable torture and bring certain doom to the Willows family.The phone call got through."Hagan, how're things going? Caught him yet?"Wade Willows, the grandmaster of the Willows family, personally answered the call.He stayed up all night after learning of his grandson Atropos' death and following the case. The murderer must be personally interrogated so his grandson could rest in peace."Grandpa, I'm so sorry I can't be with you much longer. I hope to meet you in another lifetime to repay your kindness.""Hmm? Hagan, what are you talking about?" Wade's booming voice can be heard from a mile away.Hagan, who was six feet tall, was kneeling on the ground and sobbing. "Grandpa, just give up on your quest for revenge. My brother and me, our absence will not affect the Willows family much. But if we continue to fight, I'm unsure whether we can still gain a foothold i
She did not want to stay there anymore. She did not want to see the two of them either.Ashton did not notice that Yanne had left. He slapped Gwen's hands off him and continued to work on the ointment."Do not do inappropriate things to me anymore, you hear me?"Gwen pouted and wanted to fight Ashton after seeing his serious face. However, Ashton frowned and pushed her away."I am not interested in you, so don't try to seduce me. If you want to know who I like, it's Yanne," Ashton said solemnly."Tch." Gwen rolled her eyes. "You were the one who rejected her advances, and now you're telling me you're into her. Are all men liars?"Ashton shook his head. "Yanne is too young. I might not have admitted my feelings for her before the things that went down yesterday. She's emotionally and mentally immature. I don't want her to decide on anything that she might soon regret. I will talk to her again after she wakes up. If she really... I'll decide then."Ashton was confused as well.'I
Mister Lockwood's expression went blank, and he immediately smiled. "You're kidding! This joke is quite tasteless. I'm old, so don't scare me like this."If there is such a young grandmaster, the entire Lindorm would be shocked."Ashton shook his head. Even though he did not know how to define the difference between a master and a grandmaster, Ashton could crush an inner strength cultivator like Atropos to death with just one hand. Was he still not qualified to be a grandmaster if that was the case?Mister Lockwood stretched his arms out. "As far as I know, there are less than ten grandmasters known to the public. They are all the founders of some prestigious sects.""For example, Grandmaster Wade, famous in the Central South, founded the Willows Shape Will Sect. Another example is Atlas Connery from the Central Sea, the grandmaster of Octa Diagram Boxing, who fought against the colonizers during the war. He was a one-man army, as he could fend off hundreds of enemies alone. He was
As soon as Elghast turned around, his claws struck Ashton without warning. He tried to throw him out of the chair. The young lad needed to be taught a lesson on respecting his elders.When Elghast's hand got close, Ashton twisted it, preventing him from getting closer.Elghast's expression changed drastically.What great strength!He had practiced iron sand palms since childhood. He could bend metal with a squeeze thanks to unimaginable practice and strengthening of his fingers and palms. He could confidently say that his palms hold gargantuan strength. However, the young man before him had easily caught his hands."Elghast, what the hell are you doing?" When he saw the scene, Seamus frowned. He thought his henchman was underperforming. The idea that the young man before him could easily defeat Elghast was unthinkable."Mister Keighton, I—"Creak!Ashton broke Elghast's hand with a slight force. Elghast fell to his knees in agony, unable to stand."Since you attacked first, he
