Chapter 383
The atmosphere plummeted to an icy stillness. All that remained was the sound of everyone’s ragged breaths, as well as the weaker gasps of those who were severely injured
“Is that all you can handle? I haven’t had enough fun yet. Can you get up?” Ashton asked before looking at his fists.
He’d been having such fun just now. Was the fight over already?
The only response he got was the wind blowing around him
Everyone stared at Ashton with the deepest and most genuine sense of awe and fear. He’d single–handedly taken down the Jensens and the Southern Troops.
It was practically a legendary showing!
“Am I seeing things, Roxy? I knew Ashton could fight, but I never knew he was that good at it! In the last ten years of your marriage to him, I’ve never seen this violent side of him. It’s so scary, alright! To think I’d once bossed a demon like him around…”
Robert’s back was soaked in sweat. Feeling a sense of belated dread now, he dared not even look Ashton in the eye. He knew a few people from the martial underworld, so he knew what Ashton’s strength implied. Although the power structure of this world was pretty set in stone, there were always some who could bring it all down.
“How could this be…”
Hester was dumbfounded, completely stunned by Ashton. At last, she was starting to understand why Martha liked him so much.
Just his dominant display of masculinity tonight alone would’ve stolen the hearts of all women.
“Was I wrong?” she wondered.
Hester felt a little regretful now. If she’d known that he was this strong, she might not have objected to Martha being with him.
At the very least, Martha wouldn’t have to worry about her safety if she had such a powerful and domineering expert by her side.
A cold wind whipped against Roxy’s face, pulling her back to reality. She was reminded of the domineering Ashton from ten years ago.
Because she hated his life of violence, he retreated from the martial underworld, walking away from it for ten whole years. Throughout this time, she’d scarcely seen this wild and brazen side of him.
“So… the wild and untamable you can be this captivating… Roxy mumbled to herself.
Even she was stunned and won over by his display of strength. Women liked strong men, and she was no exception.
But soon, she shook her head and sighed. “Oh, Ashton. Strength alone doesn’t decide everything in this world. Do you think you can live after attacking the Jensens and the deputy commander of the Southern Troops? Do you actually think you can afford to make an enemy out of everyone?”
“That’s right! He’s screwed now. After all the people he’s injured, there’s no way he’s getting out of this with his life!” Robert’s eyes lit up.
Hester realized that as well. “Some people should never be messed with. Ashton used the most foolish way to deal with this situation.”

More and more people began rushing over as Cesar mobilized even more of the Southern Troops‘ experts.
“Get in touch with all of the Jensen family’s allies. Tell them to send reinforcements over at once!”
Tybalt used his bloodied hands for support and just barely managed to get back on his feet. Eyeing Ashton warily, he said in a low, grim voice, “You’re strong, Ashton, strong enough to make me despair. But you shouldn’t have challenged the Jensens and the Southern Troops!
“There’s a reason why my family has maintained its position of power in Javonbury. Not just anyone can walk all over us!”
Cesar also glared coldly at Ashton. “If you joined the military, you might’ve had a bright future ahead of you. Unfortunately, you chose to be our enemy instead. You’ll be punished tonight!”
“Is that so?”
After sweeping his gaze over the crowd of experts around him, Ashton smirked. “Let me fill you in on the only true principle in this world–might is right. Strength is the only thing that survives when all else fails.”
In the blink of an eye, he was gone from sight as he charged straight at Tybalt and Cesar.
“Stop him!”
Both men panicked, their faces blanching. They sensed the murderous air that Ashton radiated.
