Chapter 1061
The martial arts expert looked down at the beautiful woman. His eyes were filled with undisguised lust, as filthy thoughts filled his head.
“You…”
Her face tightened with pain and anger. She bit down on her lip before asking, “If… If I agree to your conditions, will you help me find my daughter?”
“You think you can get a deal that good?” he said mockingly. “If you agree, then I might help within the limits of my authority. As for whether we actually find her, I can’t guarantee anything.”
“I…”
The woman collapsed to the ground. Panic and uncertainty filled her face, leaving her utterly helpless.
Her gaze swept across the crowd as though searching for someone to help her. But everyone present deliberately avoided her eyes, unwilling to meet her gaze.
As for Ashton, his expression remained indifferent. He had no intention of getting involved.
His arrival in Lavora had to remain secret. If the Heavenly Medical Pavilion were alerted, they would immediately become wary, which would interfere with his plans to take control of the city later.
Besides, far too many people were suffering in this world. He couldn’t possibly save all of them.
The martial arts expert realized he had the beautiful woman under control, so he deliberately stressed, “Have you made up your mind? When a child goes missing, the first three days are critical. Once that time passes, finding your daughter again becomes almost impossible.”
“Fine. I agree,” she replied. “I’ll accept any condition you want. But can you please send people to look for my daughter, Lily, right now? This is her photo. She’s still so young…”
She pulled out a printed photograph of a young girl and pleaded with him.
“No problem. I’ve got connections in the criminal underworld. I’ll have people ask around right away and see if anyone’s seen
her.
“Now come with me. I’ve been holding back some urges lately. I’ll use you to satisfy myself tonight.”
He burst into laughter, grabbed her by the arm, and dragged her toward the hotel. His mind was already racing with all kinds of depraved fantasies, and he was looking forward to the night ahead.
The light in the beautiful woman’s eyes dimmed. A miserable smile appeared on her face as if she had already accepted this cruel
fate.
But suddenly, the martial arts expert stopped. He whipped around sharply and discovered that someone had grabbed the woman’s other arm, preventing him from taking her away.
“Who the hell are you? What do you want?”
The martial arts expert’s eyes turned vicious as he glared at Ashton, the unexpected meddler. That elegant, beautiful woman was already within his grasp. There was no way he would let anyone ruin this now.
Ashton ignored him. His gaze remained fixed on the photo in the beautiful woman’s hand, and for a moment, he fell into a daze.
The little girl in the photo actually resembled Celia in some ways, especially when she smiled. That sweet, innocent smile could melt any father’s heart. Suddenly, he missed Celia.
Ashton initially had no intention of getting involved. But the moment he saw the little girl’s photo, he couldn’t just stand by and

watch.
In the end, his compassion pushed him to stepin and stop the beautiful woman from being taken away. He knew exactly how miserable her fate would be if she were taken away.
And it was obvious that this martial arts-expert had no intention of helping her find her daughter. He was merely exploiting a desperate mother’s weakness so he could force himself on her.
“Let her go. Then, take me to your boss,” he said in a low voice.
Just moments ago, Ashton had decided to change his strategy for taking control of Lavora. Instead of acting openly, he would start by taking over the city’s criminal underworld first.
After that, he would find a chance to get close to Selene, the governor of Lavora, and figure out a way to bring her under his control and make her work for him!
“Where the hell did this brat come from?” the martial arts expert snapped. “You think you’re qualified to meet my boss? Get lost!’
