“Ash, I’m really sorry!” Maxwell apologized again to Ashton, playing the part of
a man torn between his wife and his true love, full of regret yet helpless.
But Ashton only felt humiliation, not an ounce of sympathy. She wanted to
charge inside and confront Chiara, but the guards firmly blocked her way.
Just when she felt utterly frustrated, a lazy voice came from behind her.
“What’s going on here? Why are you stopping my friend?”
The guards instantly straightened up and respectfully responded, “Mr.
Chapman!”
Despite Nathan’s lackluster skills in martial arts, he was still the sole heir of
the prestigious Chapman family, holding a status equal to Maxwell’s, if not

higher. More importantly, Nathan was known nationwide as a notorious
spender. Everyone wanted to get on his good side for a chance to pocket
some of his tips, so wherever he went, he was treated with the utmost
espect.
“We didn’t know she was your friend. We apologize!”

“Please, both of you, come in!” The guards quickly stepped aside, bowing as
they let them through. In their minds, they couldn’t help but wonder who
Ashton was. Is she turning to Nathan Chapman for revenge after failing to
cozy up with Maxwell Zelinsky?
“Ms. Summerton, shall we go inside?” Nathan said with a grin. Only then did
he notice the slap mark on Ashton’s face. “Whoa, what happened? Did I miss
some exciting drama?”

Ashton clenched her teeth, ignoring his comment, and walked straight into
the building, still determined to find Chiara and settle the score. With her
personality, she didn’t care about Chiara’s status–if it came to a fight, she

“Sir, Miss, would you two like to participate in tonight’s thrilling life–and–death
hunt?” A man in a suit and bowtie approached them respectfully, speaking
with a formal tone.
“Life–and–death hunt?” Ashton was startled. She hadn’t been here in years
ánd had never heard of such an event before.
Nathan, intrigued, ordered, “Tell us the rules!”
“Yes, Mr. Chapman!” the man nodded and explained, “Tonight is our Hunter’s

What?!” Ashton’s body tensed instinctively, her professional instincts Kicking
Nathan chuckled, finding her reaction amusing. In the world of the rich, many
games blatantly disregarded the law. If such practices became public
knowledge, it would certainly cause an uproar among the less fortunate,
further highlighting the world’s inequalities.
The supervisor chuckled and reassured her, “Miss, don’t worry. Everything that
happens within the Hunter’s Den is strictly confidential. The hunting grounds
are entirely cut off from outside communication, so there’s no need to fear
any leaks. No one will know what animals you kill in here, and no one will

Ashton grew even more agitated. “This isn’t just about whether it gets leaked
or not! What you’re doing is absolutely inhuma-” Before she could finish the
word, Nathan covered her mouth.
The supervisor chuckled again. Another small–town woman, clearly
unaccustomed to the way things worked in these circles.

“Are you in or not? If you don’t join, you lose. After that, every time you see me,
you’ll have to call me ‘Master,’ and when you see my master, you’ll have to
call him ‘Grandmaster!” Nathan declared, teasing her.
Ashton shoved Nathan away, her face filled with anger. First of all, there was
no way she would call Emmanuel “grandmaster.” He had taught her martial

arts, but even calling him “master” was already a stretch, so lowering herself
a generation below Nathan was simply out of the question. Second, she
wasn’t one to let grudges simmer–if she didn’t play, she wouldn’t get into the
Aunting grounds, and she wouldn’t be able to find Chiara to settle the score.
“Fine! I’ll play, but I won’t break any laws!” Ashton declared, her voice filled with
determination.

“Alright, sign the two of us up!” Nathan said as he motioned for his personal
assistant to take care of the paperwork, allowing them entry into the
grounds. Soon after, they both entered the venue and were led to a private
preparation room. There, the staff provided them with gear and enough
supplies for a two–day hunt.
Ashton had hunted before, but it had always been a smaller game like

sheep, rabbits, or wild boars. This was her first time participating in such a
high–stakes event, and the two–day supply of rations indicated that this was
going to be a large–scale hunt.
“Ms. Summerton, this is a battle royale–style event. Only one person will
emerge victorious, and that’s the one who takes down the giant carnivore,”
Nathan explained, adding to what the supervisor had told them earlier. “If no
one succeeds, the winner will be determined by the points accumulated
from hunting other creatures. The winner becomes the ‘master, and the loser
has to call them ‘master,‘ got it?”
“Bring it on! I’m not afraid of you!” Ashton shot back, her competitive nature
flaring up. If she could win and become Nathan’s master, that would mean
she’d be on equal footing with Emmanuel.

Before long, they entered the actual hunting grounds. The outskirts of Zovince
were bitterly cold that evening, with fierce winds howling and snow swirling
everywhere. Even though both of them were martial artists, dressed in thick
yers to withstand the chill, the harsh conditions still made it difficult to push
forward.
“Rich people really are nuts, paying money to put themselves through this
kind of misery!” Ashton muttered, shielding her face with one hand as she
