Chapter 434
Elise’s heartbeat quickened. As she stared into Ashton’s dark eyes, she felt momentarily dazed.
After quite a while, the blushing Elise finally said, “I can’t decide for Whitney. As for me.
She blinked at him, attempting to use her wiles on him as she asked in a mesmerizing voice, “Would you force yourself on me?”
Ashton hesitated for a moment before answering, “No.”
He didn’t want her to resent him. It would be a total failure if he couldn’t get such a beautiful woman to submit to him both in body and in soul.
Pursing her lips, Elise said quietly, “Once you defeat the Sage and become the new ruler of Javonbury’s criminal underworld, I’ll wholeheartedly give myself to you. You’ll be the only man I’ll ever have.
“I can’t be at peace until the Sage is dead. I hope you understand that…”
“I do, and I promise you that I’ll give you his head as a gift. I’ll also slaughter that Jalunese man who created the Heart–Devouring Parasite!” Ashton promised.
“How dare they hurt my woman? I’m going to make them rue the day they were born. I’ll see to it that they suffer endless torment. From now onward, no one will dare hurt you again!”
Those words inspired even more affection in Elise. She’d started falling for him.
“Thank you,” she said gratefully.
But she didn’t get to dwell on that gratitude for long before Ashton kissed her. A whole minute passed before their lips separated once more.
Elise widened her eyes in shock. Angered, she snapped, “Didn’t you say you’d deal with the Sage and the Jalunese first?”

man.
“I didn’t say I won’t be collecting a little interest before that. After all, you’re a gorgeous woman with such bewitching eyes. I’m just an ordinary man. How can I not be tempted?”
“You’re so shameless!”
Elise’s breathing was shallow, and her face was bright red. However, she felt an unusual sense of satisfaction as she looked at Asliton’s youthful face.
“You haven’t seen just how much more shameless I can be,” Ashton remarked with a grin as he studied her flawless figure. “Looks like I’ll have to send the Sage on a one–way trip to hell soon. Otherwise, I don’t know if I can continue to hold myself back.”
Elise picked up on the fiery passion that burned in Ashton’s eyes, and her heart pounded wildly, a mix of panic

and pride.
However, she warned him, “Don’t do anything rash. He’s the ruler of Javonbury’s criminal underworld for a reason. Not only is he terrifyingly powerful himself, but he has even more powerful backers behind him.”
She started to worry that Ashton might do something reckless.
“Relax. Everything has proceeded according to my plan. Soon, you’ll see the Sage’s head rolling across the floor.

eyes murderously.
Ever since he found out that Flint used the Heart–Devouring Parasite to control Elise, Whitney, and the rest of Blossom Hall, his desire to kill Flint shot through the roof.
To make matters worse, Flint could very well be teaming up with the Jalunese. There was a strong reason to suspect that he was siphoning off the country’s resources to them!
In his eyes, Flint was a dead man walking
“What do you plan on doing?” Elise asked, still looking quite concerned.
“It’ll be the Sage’s 80th birthday in 10 days. I plan to kill him then and assume his position as the new ruler of the criminal underworld here in Javonbury. Then, on that night, I’ll come for you,” Ashton declared with a smile.
