Chapter 554
The Northern Troops, led by Ashton, continued their manhunting operation.
It wasn’t until Ashton and the Northern Troops left that the crowd surrounding Worsley Manor breathed a sigh of relief. Their hearts pounded wildly, chills running down their spines. Each of them wore a different expression, conveying wildly different
emotions.
“This is madness! Utter madness! What is the Legion trying to accomplish here? Even the renowned Worsleys were destroyed just like this. Who’s next?”
“Unbelievable! That guy named Ashton has too much killing intent! He leaves no room for mercy! Isn’t he afraid of retribution?”
“The Northern Troops are so formidable! The Legion truly lives up to its name. Whoever said they have fallen from power cannot be further away from the truth. They’re practically an army built for slaughter!”
“I’m never doing anything bad again. Who knows when the Legion might come for me!”
“I know, right? With Kendrick and Willa as cautionary tales now, I doubt anybody would even dare…”
On the other side, a young woman crouched on the ground, wailing. “Oh, Melissa! You can finally rest in peace! Justice, though late, has arrived! The Legion has finally avenged you! This is so satisfying!”
Someone else muttered, “This makes me want to join the Legion. Look at them–a blade for every man, littering the high streets with bones of the elites and lining the gates with their heads. So cool!”
“It’s not that simple. The Legion’s actions mean they have completely turned against the elites in Javonbury. They’re bound to face backlash sooner or later. Ashton probably wouldn’t last long then! And, the one who gave the orders, Lord Reaper, will likely suffer too!”
“Let’s follow them! I’m very curious to see how tonight will end, after everything the Legion has done!”
“The Legion seriously isn’t going to take them all down one by one, are they?”
Even more people awakened from their slumber, directing their attention toward the happenings of the night. The commotion
grew.
Just then, the remaining aristocrats, who were waiting for news at Worsley Manor, turned deathly pale. They began trembling uncontrollably.
“The Worsleys are experts at martial arts. They must be able to stop the Legion! They simply must!”
“Fucking, hell, this Ashton fellow is such a lunatic! We never provoked him. What do the deaths of those people we caused have to do with him? Who does he think he is, some kind of righteous avenger?”
“I’m going to kill him when I get the chance!”
“Word just got in! The Worsleys have fallen. William was slain with a single strike, and Willa’s face was slashed over a hundred times. Her head has now been hung up for everyone to see!”
“What the hell…”
“Hurry! Let’s head over to the Wagner residence! They have members of the Dominion Vanguard there. There’s no way the Legion will be able to storm the place and capture us then Quickly, now! We’re no longer safe in our homes anymore!”
“My father is already taking me over to the Wagner residence!”
Inside the Wagner residence one of Javonbury’s four powerhouses- Niall recounted the detailed events to his father, Kristoff Wagner, while on his knees. He then turned toward the deputy head of the Dominion Vanguard, Ronan, who was playing chess with Kristoff.

“Mr. Hopper!” he pleaded. “I’ve repeatedly stated that I am a member of the Dominion Vanguard, yet Ashton remains intent on killing me anyway!
“He has no respect for the Dominion Vanguard at all. You have to save me! Ashton is a madman. Look at what he’s done to Kendrick and Willa! I’m telling you, he’s capable of anything at this stage!”
