Chapter 686
The room was filled with a sweet and intoxicating scent. When Ashton caught sight of Whitney, he became overwhelmed with lust and instantly began to move toward her.
Whitney let out a startled gasp as Ashton swept her into his arms.
After two and a half hours, a surge of spiritual energy began to flow into his body. Then, as the spiritual energy gradually merged with his blood and muscles, his cultivation level began to rise.
“Promise me you’ll win, darling,” Whitney said as she stared at Ashton with a worried expression. “If something were to go wrong, please do everything you can to stay alive!”
“Don’t worry, silly. I’ll be fine,” he replied, “I’ve never lost a fight in my life!”
As he savored the warmth of Whitney’s embrace, a dangerous look flickered across his eyes. It was time for him to make a move.
Half an hour later, he checked the time and smiled. “The people I’m meeting up with should be arriving soon.”
“Who are you meeting up with, darling?” Whitney asked curiously.
“Clive and Ivan Vance,” he responded as he narrowed his eyes.
“What?”
She froze. Not a moment later, she managed to piece everything together, “Are you trying to turn them against each other? How is that possible?”
“Nothing is impossible. The Sage thinks that his victory is certain. Little does he know that I’ve already set a plan in motion, and his entire world is about to fall apart.”
Ashton got up and tucked the blanket over Whitney’s body. Then, he brushed his finger over her nose and declared, “When the time comes, I’ll deliver the Sage’s head to you on a silver platter!”
“Okay.” Whitney nodded obediently.
Shortly afterward, Ashton left to meet the Sage’s sons at a secret coffeehouse.
Inside a secret room of the coffeehouse, Clive and Ivan were exchanging wary glances. They had both received a mysterious
letter that contained information about their darkest secret.
The person who wrote the letter had asked to meet up at this specific location.
“What are you doing here?” Clive and Ivan asked simultaneously.
The pair fell silent, feeling incredibly anxious. All of a sudden, the door opened with a click.
Ashton entered the room and locked the door from the inside.
“It’s you!”
Upon seeing Ashton, Clive and Ivan’s eyes immediately widened in shock.
They clenched their fists and glared venomously at him, looking like they could attack him at any moment.
“Please take a seat, gentlemen,” Ashton said with a smile.
“What is the meaning of this, Ashton Gray?” Clive snarled as he stared fixedly at Ashton.
Ivan, on the other hand, seemed like he was deep in thought.
“What is the meaning of this?” Ashton sat down and poured them both a cup of tea.
