Chapter 639
+25 Bonus
Ashton knew that Lawrence’s damaged divine soul couldn’t wait any longer. If anything unexpected were to happen, the consequences would be dire–and he simply couldn’t afford to take that risk.
Wanda stated, “You don’t have to be in such a hurry, Ashton. I’ve already made an appointment with Mr. and Mrs. Moore. I’ll bring you to the Moore residence tomorrow to treat Faye. You should just focus on your own recovery for now, Ashton!”
Ashton pondered for a moment before nodding his head. “Thank you so much, Wanda.”
“You ought to remember that you’re only my boyfriend in name, Ashton! You’d better not let me end up married to Connor from the Heavenly Medical Pavilion!” Wanda winked at Ashton, looking completely irresistible.
Having witnessed the duel today, Wanda found herself even more drawn to Ashton. After all, there wasn’t a woman alive who wouldn’t be captivated by a man displaying that kind of heroic presence.
She was deeply curious to see just how far Ashton would go and what heights he could reach.
“You can rest assured that I won’t let anyone force you into a marriage, Wanda!” Ashton declared.
Wanda flashed a radiant smile. “You’d better make sure you keep that promise, Ashton. I’ll see you tomorrow, then! I have to go deal with the payout on this betting pool. Your cut and the Legion’s share will be wired to your accounts soon, so make sure to keep an eye out for it.”
Ashton nodded slightly and let out a long, heavy breath, but his heart remained heavy. He could sense a mounting, volatile pressure bearing down on him.
He couldn’t wait any longer–he had to ascend to the divine realm.
Ashton’s gaze turned dark and inscrutable. He still hadn’t gauged the depths of Flint’s cultivation level, and the fact that Flint stood in league with the Dominion Vanguard and the Jalunese Martial Association weighed heavily on his mind.
He planned to drag Flint off his throne as the ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury in six days. He knew it wouldn’t be easy. It was bound to be a life–and–death struggle far more lethal than anything he had faced today.
“That might just be the breakthrough I need to ascend the divine realm!” Ashton thought, his gaze sharpening as the seeds of a grand design began to take root in his mind.
He immediately headed to the Clarkson manor, where Lawrence was residing. He used the Ninefold Arcane Technique to stabilize Lawrence’s condition once more, but despite his efforts, the fractures in Lawrence’s divine soul continued to spread.
He muttered to himself, “I’m definitely getting that Septem–Leaf Ganoderma–no matter what it takes!”
Ashton finally left the Clarkson manor as the night deepened. He intended to return to Lakeview Heights and share an intimate moment with Sylvia to help his body recover from the day’s brutal battle.
He had attained a deeper enlightenment regarding martial arts after the duel with Clay.
He noticed that his mastery over his inner energy had reached new heights after learning the Sixfold Camage Fist from
Lawrence.
Ashton now planned to weave this new technique with his Drakeborne lineage and raw power to create a unique, lethal signature move.
Under the spill of the moonlight, Ashton was about to return to Lakeview Heights when Eunice, who had been waiting for ages, suddenly emerged with an impatient stride.
