Chapter 452
The air seemed to shake with the rippling forces.
Cornelius, who was bleeding profusely now, had intended to escape when Ashton paused to catch his breath, but he soon realized that he was being hit with a new wave of punches and had no time to escape at all.
“How is this possible…”
He’d survived hundreds of perilous battles, both big and small, but he had never felt so powerless before. He’d never been completely dominated like this!
Under the threat of death, he had no choice but to abandon all other forms of defense and do his best to protect his heart alone.
As a result, he was completely battered and bruised all over, which made him look frightfully grotesque.
“That’s a pretty good showing from you. You’d better continue to hang in there!”
Ashton laughed heartily, the Drakeborne lineage becoming even closer to fully awakening now. He was exhilarated!
None of his previous opponents could withstand a single punch from him. At last, he’d stumbled across someone who could take a beating.
Anger burned in Cornelius‘ heart, but the looming threat of death forced him to focus solely on dodging the attacks to stay alive.
He couldn’t deny the cruel reality that was upon him now. He was no match for Ashton. Right here in Javonbury, Casoria now had a truly formidable expert among their ranks.
The air was thick with murderous energy as Ashton continued to land blow after blow, leaving Cornelius more injured each time. The terrifying wounds kept ripping apart, causing his blood to gush out. He looked like a sewer rat who was trying its best to escape.
Everyone was completely dumbstruck to see that Ashton dominated Cornelius in the fight. A storm raged within them, and they couldn’t believe their eyes.
“So this is the new master of Blossom Hall and our new boss? What should I do? I think I’m in love. Who would’ve thought that our nemesis, the one who created the Heart–Devouring Parasite, would end up like this one day? I’m so happy right now…”
“I want to have his babies…”
“You’d have to wait in line. Look at Ms. Haywood and Ms. Wright! They’re completely enamored with him as well.”
“He shines like a diamond… He’s a prince among men…”
Elise and Whitney turned to glare at the women of Blossom Hall. These young women were certainly getting bolder, even daring to tease them!
But it did feel good to see this happening.

Although the sound of laughter had once rang out in Blossom Hall, it was always tinged with sorrow and helplessness over their future.
Smiling through her tears, Whitney said, “Elise, I never thought that that bastard, Cornelius, would get his comeuppance. I was so sure our fate was sealed…”
She could sense how powerful Ashton was. He hadn’t lied to them after all. He definitely could protect them!
“Maybe you should offer yourself to him then,” Elise teased.
“Huh?” Whitney blushed. “With your Bewitching Gaze, you’re like a treasure that keeps giving, Elise. I’m sure… our darling Ashton will prefer you.”
“Oh? He’s darling now, huh? Guess he really has won you over.”
“Are you not moved by him at all, Elise?”
Elise did feel herself wavering when she thought of Ashton, who was like a god to them now.
A thunderous strike rang out, followed by Cornelius‘ chest completely splitting open. He collapsed, making the floor crack beneath him. Blood gushed from his wounds, dyeing the floor red.
The stench of blood was heavy in the air.
Upon seeing that Ashton had completely defeated Cornelius, the stunned Ronan felt his chest tighten. He immediately hollered, “Stop, Ashton! You can’t kill Cornelius!”
This was certainly not what he expected from this fight.
If Ashton hadn’t been an enemy, Ronan would’ve done everything within his power to recruit Ashton. He knew that Ashton’s presence would make the Dominion Vanguard even more unstoppable.
