Faye had known all along that Ashton was determined to make a move on her. He didn’t even bother hiding his desire.
As she took in the intensity burning in Ashton’s eyes, her Phoenixborne lineage surged like molten lava inside her, as if urging her to commit certain unspeakable deeds with him.
She was fatally attracted to him. It was as if he were her destined other half.
“And if you fail?” Faye asked, her heart racing.
“If I fail, I’ll tell Mrs. Moore that I’m not worthy of you and stop bothering you,” Ashton said with a smile.
Faye paused for a moment before shooting him a sharp glare. “Wait a minute! If you fail, you’ll surely die at the Sage’s 80th birthday celebration. How could you still bother me then? You’re trying to set me up!”
Ashton chuckled awkwardly. Faye wasn’t all beauty and no brains after all.. Still as calm as ever, he asked, “Then what do you suggest?”
Faye glanced at Ashton’s chiseled face and determined eyes. Lifting her chin proudly, she declared, “If you become the king of Javonbury’s underworld, I’ll give you a chance to pursue me.”
“Just the chance to pursue you?” Ashton sighed as he eyed her flawless figure.
“Of course,” Faye insisted haughtily.
“So be it, then.”
Ashton didn’t harp on it. It was time for him to start preparing for the fight.
Just as he was about to leave, Faye suddenly called out, “Ashton, have you heard of the King of Javonbury before?”
“The King of Javonbury?”
Startled, Ashton shook his head.
“In Javonbury, it has always been rumored that the true power controlling both sides of the law in Javonbury is the King of Javonbury. The Sage is only one of his pawns.
“So, when you go after the Sage, you have to consider the worst–case scenario–that there’s someone even more powerful behind him.”
Being the daughter of the richest man in Javonbury, Faye had better knowledge of certain secrets, so she decided to give Achtma a beads up,

The number of factions involved kept increasing, and countless dangers seemed to lurk in the shadows. Yet, that didn’t frighten him at all. On the contrary, it only made him even more excited.
Ashton’s eyes flickered with an almost manic fervor. He relished the feeling of dancing on the edge of death. It got him all fired
“I’m going to become the new king of Javonbury’s underworld!” he said before leaving the villa to attend to other matters.
As she watched him leave, Faye pressed her lips together. She became even more curious about him, feeling a strong urge to fully figure him out.
“What’s going on with me…”
Holding her flushed cheeks in her hands, Faye couldn’t stop imagining the flirtatious moments she’d shared with Ashton. She couldn’t banish the image of this rakish man from her mind.
She’d never felt this feeling before.
After leaving Nimbus Summit Heights, Ashton dropped by the Curios Chamber to form a new plan to cash in on the gamblers with Wanda. He wanted to turn this battle into a full–blown frenzy across the entirety of Javonbury.
Once that was done, he returned to Lakeview Heights, where Sylvia was waiting for him.
After the paired cultivation with Ashton, Sylvia’s Stellar lineage reached the threshold of fully awakening.
As a result, her body became even more enticing, radiating charm with every move.
But when Ashton arrived at Lakeview Heights, he ran into Roxy and Eunice, two women whose beauty shone under the moonlight.
Their eyes met.
