Julia warned solemnly, “You’d better stay away from Wanda unless you can prove that you’re capable of protecting her.
“Otherwise, should it be discovered during the marriage alliance that Wanda is no longer a virgin, she will be obliterated! You should consider yourself warned!”
Having said that, Julia turned and walked away.
“You can let go of me now. You should also watch where you’re putting your hand, Ashton!” Wanda struggled slightly, realizing that she was still held in Ashton’s arms. She couldn’t help but feel her body going limp under his touch.
“I’ve placed my hand on your chest since I wanted to find out if your heart beats for me, Wanda,” Ashton explained with a
chuckle.
“You scoundrel!” Wanda wriggled free from Ashton and fixed her clothes, her heart hammering in her chest while her cheeks flushed deeply.
She didn’t know why, but every moment with Ashton brought her genuine happiness.
She mused that perhaps it was just a matter of physical chemistry. She liked his assertiveness and the way he flirted with her.
“What brings you here, Ashton?” Wanda asked as she pinned up her hair, looking absolutely stunning.
Ashton stared at the voluptuous, alluring Wanda and swallowed hard.
He then replied, “I’m looking to cash in on the fools one more time, Wanda. I want the Curios Chamber to set up a betting pool on who will become the ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury–Ashton versus the Sage. I need this up immediately.”
Wanda furrowed her brow and asked, “Do you really intend to take on the Sage?”
“I’m not challenging him–I’m holding him accountable and seizing his power! It’s time to end his decades of ruling the criminal underworld for good!” Ashton declared gravely.
“How confident are you, Ashton?” Wanda asked.
Ashton replied with a chuckle, “I’m 100% certain I’ll best the Sage! I’m doing it just like before, Wanda–wait until public sentiment turns against me, then increase the stakes!
“You see, my financial independence and the Legion’s funding will all hinge on this one move!
“In the upcoming fight, we’re going to fleece every faction under the Sage. It’ll be a fight where victory must be absolute!”
“You can consider it done! I’ll have the betting pool open by tonight!” Wanda exclaimed.
She studied the enigmatic Ashton and asked with a faint smile, “What’s in it for me when we pull this off, Ashton?”
“How about I pay you back with my body?” Ashton teased.
“Very well!” Wanda exclaimed.
She then pressed her lips together, her expression turning reckless before adding, “I’ll give myself to you before the wedding it I can’t escape this marriage alliance to the Heavenly Medical Pavilion! It’ll be worth it just to spite them!”
“I’m already looking forward to it, Wanda!”
Their gazes converged, and with their bodies pressed together again, they started planning the details of the upcoming huge payday.
Thanks to the huge funds they had won before, Ashton and the Legion would be able to push for even bigger stakes this time.
They calculated that the total bets would reach astronomical levels, effectively dictating the development and hierarchy of the

criminal underworld of Javonbury for decades.
It was well into the night before Ashton finally released Wanda from his arms. He stood up, preparing to take his leave from the
Curios Chamber.
“Oh, I almost forgot to tell you this, Ashton!” Wanda exclaimed with her alluring voice, though her body had become even more limp.
“Rumors are going around that a miracle doctor has arrived in Javonbury, healed Faye–the most beautiful woman in Javonbury –and will be at Nimbus Summit Heights tomorrow to provide consultations and treatment for the benefit of all.”
Ashton’s expression shifted as he said helplessly, “That rumor must have stemmed from Faye, your best friend. She must be trying to see if my medical skills are the real deal. That woman is clearly looking for trouble!”
