Chapter 443
Comelius‘ eyes flashed murderously as he snarled into the phone, “Who are you?”
“My name is Ashton Gray.”
“Why did you kill my son?”
Cornelius was in the middle of creating a new batch of Heart–Devouring Parasites. He swiftly grabbed some of the parasites and hid them up his sleeve.
He planned to march right over to Blossom Hall with a group of his people. There was no way he’d let his son’s murderer live on!
He wanted Ashton to pay for the death of Emmett with his own life.
“He coveted my woman and tried to use the Heart–Devouring Parasite to control her! He deserves to die!”
Ashton sneered.
“And likewise, you deserve to die as well. If you want revenge, come and find me at Blossom Hall. I’ll be waiting for you. I’ll even do you a favor and send you right along to hell, so that you can reunite with your son.
“If you come over quick enough, you might even manage to meet up with him in the afterlife. You two can rest in peace together.”
“Just who the hell are you?” Cornelius demanded.
Stunned by Ashton’s words, he grew wary.
“You can ask the Sage who I am. He’ll tell you about me. Pass the old fogey a message from me, too. Tell him that I’ve killed Rudy Winslow, his trusted subordinate, and that I’m now the master of Blossom Hall!
“Oh, Elise and Whitney are also my women now, so tell him not to get any ideas about them!” Ashton said mockingly before dropping the call, his eyes blazing with fire.
His bloodlust had fully been aroused, and the Drakeborne lineage in his blood seemed to be a step closer to fully awakening as well.
Perhaps he could use a brutal, all–out onslaught to fully refine the spiritual energy he’d absorbed and proceed to break into the divine realm.
Meanwhile, every woman in Blossom Hall was licking their lips, their legs trembling as they stared at Ashton in adoration.
“He’s unbelievable! Look at how he killed Rudy without even hesitating. Will that truly be alright? Rudy was one of the Sage’s trusted subordinates. He also killed Cornelius‘ son!”
“I’m sure this is going to cause even more trouble, but I’m hopelessly in love with Ashton now. He’s so cool!”
“I’m crying… I must get into bed with him and thank him properly!”
“Are you sure you’re trying to thank him? You’re just lusting after him!”
The air was thick with the metallic scent of blood. Elise and Whitney came up to Ashton again, feeling both

moved and concerned.
“Why don’t we make a run for it, Ashton?” Elise suggested.
She was fully aware of how terrifying Flint and Cornelius were. If those two had the Dominion Vanguard with them, there was no way they could put up a fight against three powerful factions. Their only option now was to flee!
Ashton glanced appreciatively at Elise’s captivating face before smiling. “Maybe you should stop calling me Ashton. It sounds so distant. Why don’t you call me… ‘darling?‘
“Huh?”
Elise turned bright red. She didn’t expect Ashton to flirt with her at a time like this. And how could she possibly call him darling?

He pinched her plump cheek and said gently, “Now that you two are with me, how can I possibly bear to let you make a run for your life now? Don’t worry. Nothing is going to happen.
“After today, you’ll fully be free of the Sage’s control. You’ll have your freedom back, and no one will dare to set their sights on you women again. This is simply a preemptive strike to ward off all future attempts!”
Elise and Whitney exchanged glances before nodding. They decided to have complete faith in Ashton. The worst thing that could happen was simply having to die with him.
They’d already come to that understanding.
“Now come and carry on giving your darling a massage. My neck is still pretty
sore.”
Ashton sat down. Although his expression was relaxed, a murderous intent continued to swirl in the depths of his eyes.
He hoped the people who came over wouldn’t be too weak. It was best if they could somehow push him to his limits, allowing him to use that opportunity for a breakthrough that would propel him into the divine realm.
After a brief hesitation, he messaged Lawrence and gave a summary of the situation.
Meanwhile, over at the Jalunese Martial Academy in Javonbury, Cornelius‘ veins were popping. He called Flint and snarled, “Both Emmett and Rudy died at Blossom Hall, killed by someone named Ashton Gray. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation for that?
“Isn’t Blossom Hall supposed to be under your command?”
