Kayla’s gaze flickered. When she recalled the amount she had wagered on Ashton, a radiant smile spread across her face. All of a sudden, she felt that sleeping with Ashton once didn’t seem like such an unacceptable thing after all.
Some rejoiced, while others lamented.
A number of people who’d bet on the match had already collapsed to the ground. Some were even wailing in despair.
“It’s over! It’s all over! 20 years of savings… It’s all gone!”
“This has to be a conspiracy! Someone is manipulating the whole thing! My money…”
“Hah! A bet is a bet. Ashton won fair and square. You people brought this on yourselves!”
The howls, angry shouts, and despairing wails kept ringing out all across the arena, and the atmosphere became rather somber.
“Mom! Did you see that? Ashton won!” Wanda trembled in excitement, her face lit up with joy.
Julia frowned, her gaze fixed on Ashton. After glancing at Maxwell, however, she shook her head. “It won’t end so easily.”
“Huh? What do you mean?” Wanda stiffened.
Julia said meaningfully, “Based on my understanding of Maxwell Lademan, the leader of the Dominion Vanguard, he never fights a losing battle. I’m sure he still has something else up his sleeve. Haven’t you noticed how calm he is, even now? It’s as if he’s waiting for something.”
Wanda’s heart lurched as a sense of unease spread through her.
“Wanda, everything comes down to the choices a person makes. From the moment Ashton joined the Legion and stood against the Dominion Vanguard, he lost any future he might’ve had.
“Maxwell isn’t the only strength supporting the Dominion Vanguard. Do you know how many people want the Legion gone?” Julia said in a low voice.
“Stop having anything to do with Ashton, Wanda. Even if he doesn’t die today, he will end up dead sooner or later.”
Wanda frowned.
“Do you concede defeat?” Ashton’s voice rang out like thunder amid the increasingly heavy downpour.
Concede defeat?
Clay, whose head was pressed into the ground, clenched his fists. Yet all he could do was claw a few bloody grooves into the earth. The inner energy he had gathered was completely suppressed by Ashton, and his life was entirely at Ashton’s mercy.
But if he conceded the match, his cultivation resolve would shatter for good. He would become the disgrace of the Dominion Vanguard. There would be no place for him in all of Casoria.
He would forever be nothing more than Ashton’s stepping stone to glory. He would have to live with that shame for the rest of
his life!
Just as Clay hesitated, Ashton’s killing intent descended upon him. Wisps of black force shot through him like blades, leaving bloody holes in their wake.
The pain made Clay convulse. Even if he had to live on in humiliation, he wanted to stay alive!
But just as he was about to concede, Maxwell’s voice rang out. “You haven’t lost yet! Use the secret technique I taught you to harness your inner energy!”
Clay stiffened for a moment, but a look of wild exhilaration soon overtook his features. He knew it! Maxwell had more tricks up his sleeve!
