Ashton was stunned after hearing that those one thousand five year-old girls were being used as medicinal catalysts and that the directive came from the Heavenly Medical Pavilion, with Selene carrying it out. was still completely stunned by the revelation
had braced himself for the worst, but he
Upon hearing that, the beautiful woman beside him wept even harder. She was just an ordinary civilian, yet she had discovered that the governor of Lavora had conspired with the Heavenly Medical Pavilion to take her daughter’s life.
She felt a suffocating wave of agony, sorrow, and fury as she thought of Lily being refined into medicinal pills, skinned alive, and dismembered.
She kept dry-heaving as she kneeled before Ashton. “I’m begging you, Mr. Gray please save Lily! I’m willing to become their medicinal catalyst instead. Lily is still so young! Please tell them to let Lily go, Mr. Gray!”
Upon hearing the beautiful woman’s desperate pleas, Xena remained silent, he expression completely unmoved. She had long since stripped herself of all compassion ever since she became the ruler of the criminal underworld of Lavora.
“You can rest assured that I’ll save your daughter. You have my word,” Ashton said, quickly helping the beautiful woman to her feet.
He spunded really gentle, revealing a side of himself entirely different from how he treated Xena.
Xena cocked her brow slightly and studied the beautiful woman closely. She concluded that while the woman had a bit of beauty, she was nowhere near as beautiful as she was. She couldn’t understand why Ashton would treat that woman so differently, which left her with an unexpected sting of jealousy.
“Where are the missing children right now?” Ashton asked.
Xena replied, “In accordance with what I know, the people from the Heavenly Medical Pavilion have already seized over 900 children, and at this rate, they should reach their target of 1,000 tonight.
“Those children are currently being held on a cruise ship at the docks, and the moment they have the required number, they will set sail immediately.”
“There were 1,000 children, which means 1,000 families. Governor Laurent of Lavora and the Heavenly Medical Pavilion sure are spectacular!” Ashton’s eyes flared with an uncharacteristic surge of killing intent.
His own daughter, Celia, was a five-year-old girl. She was no different from these missing children.
He suddenly recalled a memory of Celia calling out to him in his Sea of Consciousness, making his resolve even firmer. “You will lead your people today to wipe out everyone at the harbor and save those children. You got that?”

“Huh?” Xena was stunned.
She was about to refuse, but under Ashton’s piercing gaze, she quickly changed her mind and nodded in agreement. “I’ll mobilize my trusted followers in the criminal underworld at once. We’ll definitely rescue these poor children and restore peace and order!”
She finally realized that Ashton truly had no ulterior motives toward the beautiful woman. He simply wanted to save the
children.
Xena found it hard to believe that someone so completely upright and honorable still existed in this world.
She had lived in the dark, gritty underworld for decades, growing accustomed to the ugly, vicious side of human nature especially regarding powerful figures who seemed glamorous on the outside but stopped at nothing to gain power. Ashton, however, gave her a totally different impression.
Xena explained, “I’m willing to take my people and storm the harbor, but my forces alone won’t be enough against Governor Laurent and the Heavenly Medical Pavilion.
