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
Seamus fell back onto the ground and landed on his butt. The marble flooring in front of him was riddled with holes.What if any of the tea droplets managed to hit him?He dared not imagine.He thought, 'No, what kind of stunt is this? I haven't heard of it or seen anything like it."When he wanted to cast an inquiring look at Mister Lockwood, he found that the latter was stunned. He could tell that the other man was in shock."Any doubts left?"If you think you can deal with anything by yourself, I can offer you three pieces of intel. I can give you some answers to anything you want to know, if not all."Jaden's intelligence system was spread all over the world. He was good at his job.The intelligence system had been established since he was a child. After his father's improvement, coupled with the escort and assistance of the Obsidian Dragon Guards, there were almost no loopholes or flaws.Among them, the Ocula System was the most superb. Ashton was not exaggerating when he
The sudden scolding sent Alora into a daze.What?Did he call her a slut?She could not live without a man?She was only in relationships for the thrills?A thought came to her head, 'How dare this bastard spew lies about me?'Nothing happened between her and Mister Cox; the man was not who she imagined him to be. Why did he say such things?"Ashton, that's too much!""Facts are facts. I don't care why you did what you did or did those things because of your dreams and aspirations, but the damages done to me have already been done. So, it makes sense to say these words because that's just my perspective." After speaking, Ashton walked into the villa without looking back.Alora wanted to follow him but was stopped at the door by the guards.Her expression was gloomy.When she discovered Tyson had lied, her opinion of Ashton improved significantly. After learning Ashton saved her several times, she thanked him in person. After hearing his explanation, she was furious again."
