Sylvia clung to Ashton as half her body lay on top of him. After being taken by him again and again, she very clearly sensed that her body was undergoing subtle, gradual changes.
The most obvious change was her stamina–it had increased by a huge margin. She was already able to keep up with him.
Naturally, Ashton had noticed the changes in her body as well. As he caressed her skin, he said, “Your Stellar constitution should be on the verge of awakening. It will happen sooner if we engage in paired cultivation a few more times…”
“You’re becoming such a rogue, babe!”
“Do you like it?”
“I do. I want you again…”
After yet another bout of passion, Ashton checked his condition before looking at the time. “It’s time for me to profit off my most reliable cash cow, Clay.”
“Come home early tonight, babe. I had a few more black lingerie sets made for me…” Sylvia’s face turned a bashful shade of red, making her look even more alluring.
Men would kill to stay in bed with a woman like her forever.
Ashton nodded before pulling on a black outfit.
Over the past two days, Ashton and Sylvia had gathered basically all the cash they could get their hands on. They handed the money over to Wanda, instructing her to place bets in real time according to the changing odds, ensuring the most profits.
This harvest was extremely important for both Ashton and the Legion, who were equally poor.
Beyond that, Ashton had an even more important objective, which was to bring glory to the Legion once more.
Since the Legion fell into decline, it had nearly faded into obscurity across Casoria. Its once–glorious reputation had long since been buried in dust.
But today, it was time to restore the prestige of the Northern Troops and the Legion.
“I’ll be awaiting your triumphant return, babe!” Sylvia said.
She knew what he was about to do. After straightening his clothes for him, she kissed him on the cheek, her gaze affectionate.
“Okay.”
When Ashton emerged from the villa, he realized a fine drizzle was falling, turning the sky gray.
He arrived at the intersection where he was supposed to meet Neil, yet he didn’t see his car. His brows furrowed slightly. He knew Neil well enough to know that Neil would never be late.
“Something must’ve happened then.”
Ashton smirked. He stared at the end of the road and murmured, “Things are getting a lot more interesting. I’m starting to get pretty excited.”
Over at the Apex Arena, the legionnaires and the vanguards were sitting on the north and south ends. The banners of both organizations fluttered in the rain, the sharp, flapping sound seemingly harkening of death.
The air was thick with tense hostility.

Chapter 588
+25 Bonus
The Razor Unit–which was under the command of the Dominion Vanguard–and the Northern Troops were also standing in opposition to each other, as if they were ready for a battle. The murderous tension was sky–high.
Moments later, Maxwell arrived with Leona and Clay in tow. Felix, Ronan, and the others followed close behind, their
expressions menacing.
“My, my. The Legion has truly wasted away.”
Maxwell glanced in the direction where Lawrence was seated. The Legion’s numbers looked pitifully small in the massive arena, which made the organization seem even more pitiable. Even the fluttering banner seemed like merely the final vestiges of the once–heroic organization.
“After today, there will no longer be an organization called the Legion,” Clay declared with absolute confidence. “Sir, I will defeat Ashton in the fastest, most crushing way possible. I will ensure that the Dominion Vanguard will forever keep the Legion crushed beneath us.
“From today onward, the northern frontier and the Legion’s commission will both belong to us! I will not let you down today!”
