One second later, the crowd started talking loudly."Damn! Who is that guy? Going against Casanova? What a man.""We got extra entertainment today. It's so worth it!""He's from another university, right? Otherwise, he would have heard of Casanova, and he dares to go against him. Is he asking for a beating?""I guess all the teachers will leave soon, pretending not to see or hear anything."That person guessed it right. Several teachers in charge of the program found an excuse to leave the auditorium.After all, they could already guess what would happen next and could not risk offending Caspian to stop him.Caspian had a record of beating up and killing people and always cleaned up after his mess. They did not need to worry about the dire consequences that would affect the university's reputation. There had never been such a thing.After the teachers and management left, Caspian finally smiled cruelly. "What did you say? Say it to my face again.""Can't hear me the first time
"Director Xenn, you can't do this. My boyfriend is still waiting for me outside. If something happens to me, he won't let this slide." Yanne did her best to keep herself calm.However, she did not know what else she could do to save herself.Her phone was with Director Xenn, and the door was locked. She had heard that Caspian was an animal. She could imagine what Caspian, filled with rage, would do next."I think you haven't figured out what's going on yet. Your little boyfriend will be taken by the police soon. He will be sentenced to more than ten years in prison for the crime of intentional assault, provocation, and campus violence. He can't even see me, yet you claimed he won't let this slide. Are you joking?"Director Xenn looked at Caspian and smiled flatteringly. "You can do whatever you want. I'll go to the bathroom.""Good."Caspian cracked a sinister smile. His bloody mouth barely had any teeth left in them. It looked hideous."Little bitch, you forced my hands. As I s
"If you reincarnate into the next life, don't return as my son again. You're a problem, so you should mess with other families instead."Rowan was enlisted for a few years, and his physical fitness was far from comparable to that of Caspian, who was good for nothing. He held his son down quickly and slashed him across the neck. Blood instantly gushed out.Caspian did not know who he had offended that his father had to kill him himself.At Yanne's side.Ashton went straight to Director Xenn's office because she had not returned in a while.In the office, Yanne was like a frightened rabbit, hiding in a corner in panic. Director Xenn was done with using the bathroom. He washed his hands and walked out leisurely."Mister Caspian? I have a bed in my room, do you want me to make room for you to enjoy her fully? It's windy outside, so be careful not to get cold," Director Xenn said as he walked before realizing he was in serious trouble.Caspian was nowhere to be seen when Director Xen
"I did not think there was this side to you. You are such a fake. You acted so innocently before. Are you not ashamed to say such things in public?"The sudden comment ruined Yanne's smile.When she looked up, Alora was standing behind her, next to Jose, the general manager of her newly joined company.Two went to dinner. Alora saw the Century Seafood Shack sign and remembered everything with Ashton. Jose was invited to dinner on a whim. Unexpectedly, she ran into Ashton and Yanne.It was a coincidence.What was more coincidental was that she happened to hear what Yanne said.She knew Ashton would help Yanne eventually because of what he had done for her and how hard he worked. She could not understand why that thought made her angry so irrationally. She blurted that sentence because her anger consumed her sanity.However, she regretted it immediately after.After all, everything that happened between her and Ashton had nothing to do with Yanne. She had always treated Yanne lik
"Ash, go and help her. She is your ex-wife. If things are consensual, it's okay, but now... You don't want bad things to happen to her, right?" Yanne said anxiously."She was mean to you just now. Don't you hate her?" Ashton did not plan to do anything."Everyone makes mistakes. Go ahead! I don't mind!" Yanne pushed him to the private room.Alora had already raised the glass of water in the private room. Her relaxed smile showed she was not on guard.Jose's conversation with her was sometimes deep and funny. She laughed one minute and thought the next.Ashton could not emulate Jose. He was always dull and could not hold a conversation.Then, the door of the private room opened."I would not drink that glass of water if I were you.""Ashton? What are you doing in our private room?" Even though Alora's expression was as cold as ice, she was secretly glad.Did he not claim that he was not there on purpose?Seeing her with another man was too much for him. She wondered what excus
Originally, Ashton would treat those words he said before as a joke, but the last sentence crossed the line.Forget about Alora. The two were divorced, and he was not responsible for her. He could not do anything as Alora was willing to be deceived. However, Yanne was his woman, and everyone who dared to pay attention to her was dead.Ashton's face dropped as he slapped Jose's face. The man flew across the room and landed on the table, half of his face swollen."If you want to die, just repeat what you told me loud and clear so others can hear it too. Let them be the judge of my actions."The turn of events shocked Yanne and Alora.No one expected Ashton's violence.If he was a liar, they should come back with evidence to prove it. They should not have resorted to violence before the truth came out.Alora got up angrily, strode over, picked up the glass of water next to her, and poured it on Ashton's face. "You are such a shameless piece of shit! You hit him because you can't pr
"Alora, there is no need to be so polite. We will be a family soon," Jose said with a meaningful smile."Yes, you and I will be a family after you enter my company. Jose, you must use what you learned abroad to help me run the company."Alora had not realized the hidden meaning of his words."As you can see, our company is in an abysmal state now. Due to the lack of cash flow and the bank's refusal of loans, the troubles are piling up, and it is almost impossible to do anything anymore."I am under a lot of pressure to hire you as the company's general manager. Don't let me down."Alora did begin to like Jose a few days ago, but not in the romantic sense. She liked how talented he was as an individual.Most of what she said to Ashton was also out of anger.If it were not for Jose's departure that year, she would not have married Ashton. She said it to provoke Ashton, but he took it seriously.Alora did not know the consequences of saying those words. She felt delighted that she
After calming down, Seamus saw Langdon point his gun at Ashton, and his fear returned.Why did he have to pick Ashton, of all people?If Langdon fired his gun, things would escalate to a full-blown fight. Then, his business plan would be shot to hell."Mister Greene, the Royal Sealift Group also has gifts for you. Would you show us mercy this once and let my friend live instead?" Kendra quickly acted. She placed a quaint herring jade pendant she had prepared in advance on the table.The herring jade pendant was silver. It looked so beautiful that Langdon's eyes suddenly lit up."It's the Light Fish among the Twin Fish of Light and Dark. Little one, are you sure you want to use this gift to save his life? An ordinary person's life is not worth the price." Langdon's soul-piercing smile made people shudder."Mister Greene, he is my friend, so he can't be regarded as any ordinary person. If you agree to my terms, this jade pendant is yours." Kendra gritted her teeth.The jade pendan
Once the news spread, the world was in an uproar.The ban on nuclear weapons had been lifted?That meant the nuclear weapon's password had been entered, and the weapon could be launched from the ground with a single command.Furthermore, it differed from the time in the Syferian ice plains. Taking into account the international community's influence, Sunoria used a low-tonnage nuclear bomb with minimal lethality, but Aarrowsmith was different. Once they decided to use nuclear weapons, they would disregard all public opinion until they had utterly destroyed their opponents. In that case, the bombed area would be a wasteland where nothing could live for at least a century.Nobody wanted nuclear weapons to detonate on their own territory.Therefore, wherever Ashton was, the country in charge of that territory would be in a panic.Sceponyol and the allied countries quickly convened a military meeting and contacted Aarrowsmith, demanding a halt to the nuclear bombings.However, when
A single person had destroyed an entire fleet."Your actions will start a war!" Leblanc roared furiously."You're an insignificant clown; your words don't matter. Furthermore, so what if I start a war?"Ashton regarded Nimo with interest. Nimo and the others were dressed in combat suits and ready for a final desperate fight."Hand over the core technology of the combat suit and the formula for the Water of Youth, and I will let you live today," Ashton said.He admitted to being greedy for Aarrowsmith's technological advancements—not for their combat effectiveness, but for the scientific application behind those means.If members of Obsidian Gates were equipped with that type of combat suit and the Water of Youth, combined with the martial arts practitioner's own methods, their combat effectiveness would skyrocket. Everyone would become a super warrior fearless of death.However, his words made Nimo laugh wildly."Do you think it's up to you? A filthy Linnish man wants the sixth
Nimo laughed. "We're safe! Everyone, the retreat mission has been completed successfully." Nimo finally felt relaxed.Three other figures then appeared on the ship.Their combat suit was removed, revealing the figures of a woman and two men.The Annihilator Team had only four survivors.The captain of the ship approached the deck."I am Leblanc, the ship's commander, and I have been ordered to come pick you up. Why are there only four of you? What about the others?" Leblanc inquired in a suspicious tone."All of them are dead. That Linnish warrior killed them.""What?"Leblanc was shocked.He knew what power the Annihilator Team wielded, and he was sent to perform that task precisely because of that. He responded as soon as possible and cooperated unconditionally because he knew that any task assigned to the Annihilator Team had to be something he could not ignore.He also understood the Annihilator Team's composition—the frontline combat team, the communications team, the in
The battle continued.Ashton only used a sliver of true thunder's power before annihilating several members hiding in the dark in one fell swoop. Those members were waiting to report the news.The Annihilator Team was not made up entirely of combatants.The sixth-gen combat suit was still in development and had not yet been officially added to the assembly plan, so only frontline combatants wore it.For example, communications, intelligence collection, transmission, and backend members wore standard fifth-gen combat suits.In the face of that devastating thunder, there was no powerful self-healing and recovery ability, nor the ability of the Water of Youth to reshape the body. The other members were destroyed almost in the blink of an eye."Damn, what kind of weapon is that?"The captain roared frantically during the attack."Captain, this is the latest information—he found an artifact that gathers thunder and lightning at the Church of Darkness' headquarters in Edlington. That
"What? Is our warship here?""It has arrived offshore. Our country is our strongest supporter. No one can take action against Aarrowsmith's soldiers!" The man's confidence had skyrocketed.He had been a member of the Annihilator Team for over a decade and had been promoted to captain along the way. He had never encountered such a situation on a mission. A warship from Aarrowsmith's strongest navy had appeared to escort him in defeating their enemy. That undoubtedly helped him gain confidence."Fight as you retreat; buy me time."The captain took the Brain's terminal and refilled a black magnetic rod.At that moment, an indescribable scream ripped through the sky. As soon as it ended, a 50-meter building containing several people collapsed.Ashton was wearing the Obsidian Jade Scales and resisted dozens of gunshots. He grabbed a sniper from the Annihilator Team, swooped down, and smashed the opponent into the ground, grinding them into powder and ripping the combat suit apart. The
"Since the first battle in the Syferian ice plains, no one has ever caused me such a severe injury."Ashton threw a punch with enough force to cause massive explosions, swiping it at 30 times the speed of sound.The man in black armor raised his large shield almost subconsciously.When Ashton's fist made contact with the shield, a silent ripple of space appeared, and ultrasonic waves that normal creatures could not hear spread frantically in all directions like a silent bell signaling the end of the world."Hmm?"Ashton realized that when the two forces came into contact, the shield vibrated at trillions of times per second while the special metal inside formed a ring-shaped magnetic field. That magnetic field disrupted the surrounding energy flow to resolve the power emitted by his punch.It functioned similarly to the previous black magnetic rod, except one was used for attacks and the other for defense."Go!" The man's arms were numb. He held a shield and dragged the woman at
It got close to Ashton in a matter of seconds, and the black magnetic rod exploded at a speed that was almost certainly 20 times the speed of sound. No other weapon in the world could do what it did.Therefore, even Ashton was careless. His carelessness stemmed from his belief that, even if his mana could not stop the destructive power of that magnetic rod, he could at least slow it down for a moment. That moment was sufficient for him to react and take appropriate countermeasures.He did not expect the magnetic rod to ignore his mana and injure him instead.Modern weapons that could ignore mana defenses were certainly interesting."Unexpectedly, we were forced to use Plan B, utilizing the valuable Breaker Black Pillar. That damn Linnish warrior! That cost a billion dollars!" The thin man holding the transmitter removed the black sunglasses from his face and cursed viciously."Don't complain; that's Ashton. He's known as the strongest man in Lindorm. Even if we lose tens of billio
"What have you been up to, Ashton? There's no way it was just about breaking Mister Darek's curse, right? When Mister Johnson saw you, he was terrified and booked us on the first flight out," Kendra said, her voice tinged with disbelief.Ashton simply smiled, unfazed. "Oh, nothing much. I just took a quick stroll around the country and picked up a few favors along the way.""When's the flight Harry booked for us?""Tomorrow morning, six sharp," Kendra said, still incredulous."He can't wait to see the back of us," Ashton said with a laugh, but he got it—it was part of the job.Sceponyol could only begin to pick up the pieces and shuffle the deck after Ashton left. With him around, everything stopped, with unexpected events lurking around every corner."Well then, let's make the most of tonight and head out bright and early tomorrow, back home.""I'm with you. It's not every day we get to go abroad. I'm too wired to sleep anyway. Might as well check out what kind of fun this coun
"That's Mister Ashton Levin!"Harry's confirmation hit Luce like a ton of bricks.He might not have met Ashton before, but he knew the name carried a lot of power. The entire upper echelon of Sceponyol and their allied countries had been on edge, dealing with that Lindorm warrior's actions. Rumor had it he had come from the east, smashing through dozens of mercenary strongholds, clearing out the Bit Sea Strait, surviving a thermobaric onslaught, and marching straight into Brighton, putting the whole city on high alert.Blood Monarch Alexander had entered the fray, but even he could not withstand the onslaught and was cut down by Ashton. That bold move sent shockwaves through Sceponyol's superbeings community, leaving them humiliated and thirsting for revenge. In a show of force, the Five Great Guardians mobilized with one goal—to take down the perpetrator and restore their tarnished reputation on the world stage. After a grueling battle that lasted over an hour, the guardians lay de
