Ashton spoke with conviction, his words thundering with force and clarity. His presence had completely overshadowed Ronan’s..
After hearing what he said, the women looked at him with eager adoration. Even if a fight were to break out later, they were willing to risk their lives to stand with him.
Ronan’s expression turned dark. He wanted to retort, yet under the pressure of Ashton’s dominant gaze, he couldn’t get a single word out.
A few moments later, his eyes flashed coldly as he declared, “What nonsense! Are you trying to act as though your act of murder can so easily be justified?
“Stop trying to twist things around! Get on your knees and admit to your wrongdoing! Do so, and I’ll grant you a dignified death. I won’t let the women of Blossom Hall get implicated in this matter either. Otherwise, don’t say I didn’t show you any mercy!”
Ronan didn’t care whether Ashton was guilty or not. His primary objective was to secure the support of Flint and Comelius, allowing the Dominion Vanguard to expand its influence wide enough to dominate over the Legion and the Empyrean Sentinel.
Therefore, Ashton had to die.
Scoffing, Ashton spat at Ronan’s feet. “So this is how the so–called Dominion Vanguard acts, huh?
“You stood back and did nothing when these lowlifes took advantage of the women of Blossom Hall. And now, you’re even teaming up with the Sage and the Jalunese bastards. The Dominion Vanguard sure sounds like a great asset to the nation!”
His impression of the Dominion Vanguard hit rock bottom. They were nothing more than a group of bullies who would stop at nothing to further their own interests.
The expressions of the vanguards who came over with Ronan turned pretty ugly. Some were furious, while some lowered their heads in shame. A few of them started sporting contemplative looks.
“How dare you!”
Outraged, Ronan began channeling his inner energy into his palm. The threat of a peak transcendent realm expert filled the air as he locked in on Ashton.
However, just as he was about to strike, Cornelius stopped him, growling darkly, “My son died at his hands, Mr. Hopper.
‘I’m the one who should get to kill him. I want him to die while being tormented by the pain of the Heart- Devouring Parasite. I’ll let him suffer the consequences of making an enemy out of the Jalunese people!
“Let this be a painful warning to everyone that no one can mess with the Jalunese!”
Ronan frowned, feeling quite displeased with Cornelius‘ words. What was that about no one being able to mess with the Jalunese? They were in Casoria right now.
But in the end, he stepped back without saying anything.

Flint sneered, as if he could already imagine Ashton’s Impending misery.

“I’ll take my time to kill you, Ashton. I’m going to make sure you watch while the women you tried to protect get the Heart–Devouring Parasite planted right back inside of them. I’ll make you witness how they die from the tonment! Hahahaha!”
Laughing maniacally, Cornelius flicked his hand. Immediately, the experts from the Jalunese Martial Academy shot forward, forming a tight circle around Ashton, completely surrounding him.
After glancing around at the faces of these barbaric–looking Jalunese men, Ashton had a murderous look in his eyes. Smirking savagely, he remarked, “You want to kill me? Well, are you ready to lose your lives?”
He’d been fretting over the lack of opponents for him to hone his martial arts expertise, only for these people to deliver themselves right up to him.
It seemed he would have to come up with new ways to make a few more enemies from now on.
Thanks to the gradual awakening of his Drakeborne lineage, brutal slaughter became the most important way for him to grow stronger, proving even more effective than absorbing spiritual energy from women with special
constitutions.
In an instant, the Jalunese men felt a chill run down their spines.
“Kill him! Avenge my son! Whoever takes his life will become the deputy head of the Jalunese Martial Academy and receive all the resources he needs for his martial arts cultivation!”
Cornelius‘ eyes were bloodshot. His sleeves were rustling as he secretly activated his newly created batch of Heart–Devouring Parasite. He planned to plant these right inside Ashton’s body.
“Charge!”
The dozens of experts from the Jalunese Martial Academy unleashed a murderous air as they lunged at Ashton. They were extremely powerful. With their sneaky techniques and tricky attacks, they were hard to defend against.
