Chapter 388
“You have nothing to worry about, sir!” Seth firmly declared. “If any fool dares to get any ideas about Ms. Stone, I’ll be the first to teach him a lesson!”
Ashton walked over to Tybalt.
“Thank you for helping Seth with his breakthrough, Mr. Gray!” Tybalt said with a genuine smile, even bowing his head in gratitude.
All the more convinced of Ashton’s prowess now, he knew he’d made the right decision today.
Thanks to this–even after he was gone–Seth would still be able to maintain power over the Jensen family and protect their status as one of the Four Powerhouses of Javonbury. The family wouldn’t fall into decline.
“These are a few Energy Condensation Pills I made, Mr. Jensen Senior. They’re not the same as the others on the market. Once you consume one and use your inner energy to refine it, it can help replenish some of your life force and allow you to live a few years longer.”
Ashton passed the pills he’d made at Whispering Emerald Manor to Tybalt. Since he’d accepted Seth as his subordinate, he might as well do the Jensens a favor, so that they’d be fully at his command.
When it came to managing people, reward and punishment went hand in hand.
Trembling, Tybalt took the pills, his eyes widening as he immediately sensed how these Energy Condensation Pills differed from the others. The life force contained within the pills was powerful.
He swallowed one and tried to refine it with his inner energy.
Within seconds, he felt a new burst of vitality in his already wizened body. It was almost as if he’d shaved decades off his age.
“Did you make these pills yourself, Mr. Gray?” Tybalt exclaimed, feeling quite stunned.
He now realized he’d underestimated Ashton yet again.
Ashton nodded in reply.
“You’ve basically saved my life, Mr. Gray. There’s no way I can ever repay you for this.”
Tybalt bowed low. “Say the word, Mr. Gray, and the entire Jensen family will be at your service!”
“It’s nothing, Mr. Jensen Senior.”
Ashton knew he’d left a deep enough impression on Tybalt now. As long as the latter wasn’t a fool, he’d know what to do from now on.
This now meant Ashton had yet another powerful faction under his control.
Moments later, Ashton turned to Cesar. After glancing at the wounds on his body, he said, “Your technique is decent, but the way you apply your strength is wrong. Try harnessing your inner energy according to my instructions and throw a punch again.”
Feeling doubtful, Cesar tried to utilize his inner energy per Ashton’s instructions. His organs seemed to resonate in perfect synchrony as he threw a punch that made the air crack.
The force in that punch was 20% stronger than what Cesar was technically capable of based on his current cultivation realm. It was clear what this meant.
“Please accept a bow from me, Mr. Gray!”

Fully won over by Ashton as well, Cesar bowed low and said. “Say the word, Mr. Gray, and I’ll go wherever you need me, along with the Southern Troops under my command!”
In just a short while, Ashton’s sphere of control had expanded drastically. His power and influence had skyrocketed.
A flicker of fire danced in Ashton’s eyes. Even though he had even more people under his command now, this was only the beginning.
He knew full well he would face terrifying adversaries and forces in the future. He had to grow stronger and possess even more fearsome authority.
It was only by having enough cards up his sleeve that he could at least put up a fight when he had to go up against the Drake family in the future.
“You’re incredible, babe…” Martha’s sultry voice hit Ashton’s ears.
He turned around and saw the blushing Martha. Once he took in her curves, the lust that had only been extinguished not too long ago reignited itself.
She was blatantly trying to seduce him.
“What did you call me? I didn’t hear you clearly just now,” Ashton teased.
