“But now that this situation spells certain doom for you, how are you going to get yourself out of it?” she mumbled curiously to herself.
Meanwhile, Flint was so furious that his face turned purple. He could sense the looks coming from all directions, and it made him feel like a cuckold.
Nothing could ever make Flint hate Ashton more than he already did. Not only did Ashton take Rhonda and Hazel away,
but he was now snatching Elise away as well. Ashton was basically slapping him in the face over and over again!
“What are you doing, Elise! Get over here now!” Flint snarled, his voice brimming with murderous threat.
Elise instinctively trembled. She knew how terrifying he was. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been under his control for so long.
But just as the fear colored her features, Ashton placed his arm around her waist and took a step forward. He stared straight into Flint’s hostile gaze and said, “Mr. Vance, I hereby inform you that Elise is now my woman. Kindly show her a little respect, got it?”
His domineering and overbearing declaration showed that he clearly had no regard for Flint at all.
Immediately, the murderous tension in the air heightened. All of the women felt their hearts jump to their throats. They had a deep sense of fear for Flint, and it wouldn’t be so easy for that fear to go away.
“You’d better think about the consequences before you make your decision, Elise! If you choose Ashton, that means you’ll be making an enemy out of not just me, but the Jalunese Martial Academy and the Dominion Vanguard as well. You’ll be challenging the unstoppable force of our combined power!
“Even if you’re not going to think about yourself, you should be considering what’s best for the other women behind you, right?” Flint threatened coldly,
He was determined to make an example out of Ashton and regain the dignity he’d lost because of the latter.
“What’s with your load of crap, you old bastard? Come on, Elise. Tell everyone who you belong to!” Ashton said.
Ashton stood before Flint, shielding Elise and the other women from his terrifyingly powerful presence.
After taking a deep breath, Elise fearlessly met Flint’s gaze and said with a firm voice, “I’m Ashton’s woman!”
She was no longer alone now. She had Ashton by her side, so she had nothing to fear. She was going to fight back and reclaim her life in her own hands.
Those simple words were like a resounding slap across Flint’s face, making him seem like even more of a cuckold.
The whispers broke out once more. Even Flint’s trusted confidantes began eyeing him strangely. He was utterly

humiliated this time.

Flint’s eyes flashed with murderous hostility. He swiftly recited the incantation to control the Heart–Devouring Parasite inside Elise’s body, not knowing that Ashton had already removed it.
He had no clue why Elise had the gall to defy him.
As the shrill sound rang out from his lips, Elise instinctively shuddered before leaning even more closely against Ashton. It made her feel secure.
“Huh?”
When Flint realized that Elise was entirely unaffected, his heart sank. At last, he realized something.
Could Ashton have removed the parasites from Elise and all the other women?
He
exchanged looks with Cornelius, and both men began attempting to control the Heart–Devouring Parasites in the women all around them, hoping to make them suffer the unbearable pain.
Yet, no matter how hard they tried, all the women looked perfectly fine. In fact, they continued to glare at the men, looking like they wanted to rip their heads off.
Flint glared murderously at Ashton, his voice hoarse with hatred as he growled, “You’re the one who got rid of the Heart–Devouring Parasites?”
