If not for the Drakeborne lineage flowing in Ashton’s veins, as well as his use of the Cosmic Breathing Technique that allowed him to amass a great deal of inner energy, he wouldn’t have managed to hold out until
now.
“It must’ve been hard on you, Mr. Gray.”
At some point, without Ashton’s knowledge, Whitney moved to his side and began massaging his shoulders with her fair, slender hands.
“It really was hard work. Do I get a reward?” Ashton looked straight at Whitney, his gaze heated.
Sensing the aggression in his eyes, she felt her heart lurch. Her cheeks flushed, and her legs pressed together as all sorts of improper thoughts flooded her mind.
She didn’t oppose the idea of giving herself to him. But the moment that thought struck her, she jolted in alarm. Why would she even think that?
Hastily avoiding Ashton’s gaze, she replied softly, “Elise is the only one left now, Mr. Gray. Do you want to take a break? She had the Apex Heart–Devouring Parasite planted in her, so it won’t be as easy to get rid of it.”
“I don’t need a break. Let’s get on with it,” Ashton declared before pointing at the table with a smirk. “Lie down, Ms. Haywood.”
Elise gave a slight nod. Bracing herself with both hands, she assumed a posture that was more than enough to get a person’s blood pumping.
Even Ashton–upon seeing Elise like this–felt a raging fire surge wildly in his heart that was completely beyond his control.
Moreover, the Drakell technique was activated once more, as if urging him to hurry up and make her his.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Gray?” Elise turned toward him and looked at him cluelessly.
Even though she wasn’t trying to seduce him, her natural charm was enough to mesmerize him. She was indeed a bewitching woman. It was no wonder she was once considered the most beautiful woman in Javonbury.
“I’m fine.”
Ashton pressed his hand against Elise’s body. With a flick of his wrist, 12 silver needles pierced into her body at the same time.
He did the same thing he did earlier. Dark flames flickered in his eyes as he swiftly located the parasite and used the Ninefold Arcane Technique to draw it out.
All of a sudden, Elise groaned painfully, her body trembling. Her brows were tightly knitted.
Inside her body, the Apex Heart–Devouring Parasite was starting to fight back.
“How dare an insect try to resist!” Ashton fumed.
He channeled his inner energy into her body through the 12 needles, thereby sealing off the parasite.

“Open your mouth,” he instructed Elise,

Once her lips parted, a parasite the size of a thumb flew out seconds later. As soon as it emerged, it split into hundreds of tiny insects, scattering in different directions.
“Sovereign Flame!” Ashton called out lelly, with blood trickling down the corners of his eyes.
All at once, the dark flames wiped out all of the fleeing parasites.
“It’s over now,” Ashton said as he slowly exhaled with his eyes closed. He’d exhausted himself tonight.
Just then, Elise’s body went weak. The moment she tried to stand, she fell right into Ashton’s arms.
She quickly tried to break away, but he held her tightly. With a predatory grin on his face, he stroked her smooth skin with his fingers before glancing at the sultry–loolding Whitney as well.
His domineering voice rang out. “Blossom Hall belongs to me now, right? You two are mine as well, yeah?” 1
