Chapter 235
The force of the three punches Ashton threw rippled through the air, much to the horror of the three grandmasters who were trying to attack him. It suddenly occurred to them that they’d unknowingly gotten close enough for him to strike them.
The mighty force of his punches surrounded them, shattering the protective barriers they’d put up and crashing heavily against their chests.
Immediately, blood sputtered from the mouths of all three. Their ribs were all splintered, their chests had caved in, and they were tossed back like leaves in the wind. All three collapsed and were soon lying in pools of their own blood, with craters having formed beneath their bodies. No one knew if they were still breathing.
Sparks crackled in the air, sounding like slaps that landed on Edmund’s face.
All was silent. No one expected Ashton to be strong enough to defeat three S–ranked experts in a single strike.
“He’s godlike…‘

“How terrifying!”
The crowd began exclaiming among themselves.
Meanwhile, Ashton continued to make his way toward Edmund. He seemed calm, though his gaze was cold. “I tried to spare your dignity by allowing you to slap yourself and voluntarily concede defeat. But since you refused my offer, I guess I’ll have to deal with your dignity myself.”
With each step he took, his formidable presence intensified, making Edmund quake uncontrollably.
“Do you
have it in you or not, Edmund? Didn’t you tell me you’re the most powerful man in Javonbury? From the looks of it now, Ashton’s way more powerful than you… As expected of the man who could make Natalie submit to him! I’m really starting to like him…” Sheila murmured.
Her interest in Ashton kept growing. She loved domineering men like him.
Taking a deep breath, Edmund called out, “Come out, Mr. Cosby!”
He forced himself to stay calm. After all, he still had a trump card.
The air whooshed, and an elderly man appeared in front of Ashton, preventing him from stepping forward. ” Young man, are you interested in working with the Sage? If you are, I can intervene to settle this conflict between you and Edmund.”
“That’s Karl Cosby! Everyone says he’s the most powerful SS–ranked expert, a supreme grandmaster! I can’t believe he’s here.”
“Looks like the rumors are true. The Sage adores his youngest son the most. He’s even sent Karl to protect Edmund! No wonder Edmund has already acted with reckless abandon.”
“If Karl gets involved, this fight is as good as over!”
“What a shame…”
Karl Cosby was a legend in Javonbury. He had always worked for the Sage and was among those who contributed most to the Sage’s initial conquest in Javonbury.
However, in the last few years, it was rare to hear news of Karl getting involved in a fight.,

Edmund frowned. He wasn’t at all keen to let Ashton go, but despite being the Sage’s son, he still had to show Karl
respect.
Lifting his chin in the air, he arrogantly demanded, “Get on your knees and beg me for mercy, Ashton! If you submit to me and hand Natalie over, I’ll spare your life!”
Sheila pouted. “I can’t believe you have Mr. Cosby with you, Edmund. Aren’t you pushing it? Ashton is not even 30 years old. Mr. Cosby is more than twice his age!”
“Ashton and I are competing to see who’s more powerful, Shelly. The fact that I can get Mr. Cosby to fight for me is proof of my power!” Edmund declared.
Staring at the seductive Sheila and alluring Natalie, he smirked. “Tonight, with the two of you satisfying me in bed, I’ll finally know what heaven on earth feels like!”
Sheila glanced at Edmund, feeling a little rueful. If she had to pick between Edmund and Ashton, she would’ve preferred Ashton.
