He had already learned from Scarier than Colton’s health was failing and that he didn’t have much time left. If possible, he would even his grandfather’s ine ne would also make the Lowe family stand alongside the Zapata family as the top famullies on Limon island.

“Get some rest,’ Irene said

“Okay.”

Ashton could tell his mother had something on her mind, but he didn’t press her. Before he left Linton Island, he would settle everything.

The next day, he went into seclusion to cultivate. Strands of dark energy coiled around him as the divine realm aura around him grew stronger and more intense. The Drakeborne lineage within him churned on the verge of boiling over, every call burning with the heat of molten lava.

“Without the chosen maident’s extreme Lunar physique to steady it, I’m going to burn up.”

Savage intent and desire flickered in Ashton’s eyes as he kept his killing urges under control.

“After the birthday banquet, I’ll find Miranda… No matter what, I must take her to bed and sleep with her.” He used the Cosmic Breathing Technique to suppress the rising urge within him and continued his cultivation

As the sun dipped bellow the horizon the following day, Colton’s birthday celebration began.

Irene wore a simple, elegant dress and light makeup. She carried herself with calm, mature composure There was a faint smile on her face, though her composure wavered.

This was her first time returning to the Lowe family since cutting ties with them. As she approached the door, a sense of unease crept in.

“Relax, Mom. I’m here for you,” Ashton said with a smile. “I’ve got your back.”

She nodded after hearing that. A hint of relief showed on her face as she led him into the Lowe residence’s courtyard. The oak tree outside still stood tall, its branches thick with leaves, though the entrance to the courtyard had grown worn with time. Everything had changed, but it still felt the same.

A few cars were parked outside, and a steady stream of guests had come to offer their congratulations. Kevin was busy greeting them, but when he spotted Irene and Ashton, he smiled and quickly walked over

“Go on in and see Dad,” he said.

Then, he called out, “Scarlett, take Ash and your aunt inside.”

“Coming”

Scarlett had her hair tied up in a bun. She smiled brightly, though her gaze at Ashton camed a hint of

curiosity

Over the past two days, Zeke, the foremost scion of Linton Island, had been fawning over her out of his way to please her, even buying her a whole building and saying he’d give her one company

left her dazed

She knew all of it had happened because of Ashton. In a single moment, her fate had completely changed

Just earlier, her father had gotten into a heated argument with Sarah over how the Lowe family’s assets should be divided. But the truth was, what Zeke had given Scarlett over the past two days was already worth several Lowe families combined.

Sarah had always been wary of Irene trying to take a share of the family assets, but would Irene even think much of it?

“Aunt Irene! Ashton,” Scarlett greeted them warmly. “I’ll take you to see Grandpa.*

The three of them walked through a garden and entered the main hall, where quite a few people had already gathered. When they saw Irene and Ashton, many of them froze in surprise.

“Grandpa, Aunt Irene, and Ashton are here,” Scarlett said softly.

Irene led her son forward, a little tense as they approached Colton. She looked at her father’s graying hair, wrinkled face, and how much he had aged. Her chest tightened, and her voice caught.

“Dad…”
