Alas, before anyone could even react, Ashton appeared right in front of Tybalt and Cesar. Wisps of murderous energy hovered right in front of their foreheads. With just a single thought, he could end both their lives. “Ashton! If you kill me, there will be no place for you in Javonbury! You’ll become an SSS–level wanted criminal! The Legion, the Dominion Vanguard, and the Empyrean Sentinel, the three major factions, will all come after you. “Even if you try to escape to the ends of the earth, you’ll be hunted down and killed, so don’t do anything rash!” Tybalt panicked. Despite being old, he was still afraid of dying.
He hadn’t expected Ashton to be ruthless and brazen. The murderous energy hovering right in front of his forehead was real, and the killing intent radiating from Ashton was terrifyingly palpable.
Cesar’s limbs had grown cold as well. “Have you lost your mind, Ashton? Do you know what it means to kill a deputy commander? Can you bear the consequences of such a crime?”
Tybalt and Cesar exchanged looks and saw the fear mirrored in each other’s eyes. The opponent they feared the most was those who didn’t fear death.
“What are you doing, Ashton! Don’t you dare hurt my grandpa and uncle…”
Seth was panicked as well. He now knew what an egregious mistake he’d made. Why did he provoke a lunatic?
“Ashton! What are you doing? Stop this at once! If you kill them, you’ll be done for!” Roxy cried out in alarm, too.
If Ashton killed Tybalt and Cesar, he’d be forced to flee for his life. His actions might even affect Celia.
However, Ashton ignored them all. He simply eyed Tybalt and Cesar with a kill you

“If you do, you’ll be going down with us, too!” Tybalt declared. Having regained his Let’s talk about this, Ashton.”
Ashton scoffed before remarking, “You people always think your lives are so damn precious. You assume that if you die, I’d have to pay for your death with my life, too. But what if I have the power to kill you all? What if your deaths will only be in vain?”
“What do you mean by that?” Cesar growled, his brows furrowed.
He realized that he couldn’t quite get a read on Ashton, who seemed extremely mysterious and unfathomable.
Chuckling in amusement, Ashton pulled out the Legion’s Sigil from his pocket and held it in front of the two men. His voice was grim and menacing as he said, “I have the Legion’s Sigil, which gives me the authority of the head. of the Legion himself. I have the ultimate power to kill if necessary.
“Since you lot had the nerve to offend me and attempt to slaughter me, would I be doing anything wrong if I took you guys out right here, right now?”
The black sigil struck terror into the hearts of Tybalt and Cesar, making them quake. Their eyes widened, and their throats went dry.
Ashton actually had the Legion’s Sigil! Did this not mean he was a part of the Legion—and even a trusted subordinate of the head of the Legion?
All at once, they both recalled something.
Not too long ago, a piece of news started spreading on the dark web. It was said that the new deputy head of the Legion had single–handedly wiped out the Assassin’s Guild This new deputy head was an enigmatic figure who

went by the codename “the Grim Reaper“.
As soon as they thought of that, they both started trembling violently.
If Ashton turned out to be the deputy head of the Legion, he had every right to kill them now and explain himself later on. He could even use this incident to find fault with the Jensens and the Southern Troops!
Immediately, Tybalt and Cesar were swept away in a tsunami of fear.
“Please have mercy on us, sir!”
Having realized the gravity of the situation, the two men didn’t hesitate to kneel and prostrate themselves before Ashton.
Roxy and the others could hardly believe their eyes. What the hell was happening?
Why were two of Javonbury’s most powerful figures submitting to Ashton like that?
This couldn’t be happening! What on earth was going on?
