Lawrence laughed heartily.
“Not quite. To be precise, it should now be called Sixfold Draconic Fist. But Ash, remember this.
“Hide your strength whenever you can. When you do strike, make it lethal. Your talent and potential are terrifying. Many people will try to stop you from growing stronger.
“Sometimes playing weak is a strategy.”
“Got it,” Ashton responded with a nod.
“The Legion finally has a worthy successor,” Lawrence said, a smile of relief crossing his face. “I wish I could attend the Sage’s Soth birthday banquet and see you in action. Unfortunately…”
Ashton smiled and stated, “Save your entrance for the grand finale. When the time comes, we’ll clean house, take everything in one sweep, and take over Javonbury’s criminal underworld. The Legion will have all the funding and territory it needs. Our flag will fly high over the city.”
“That’s great,” Lawrence said, his spirits lifting.
A moment later, he reiterated, “Ash, there’s something you need to watch out for. The Sage may not be acting alone.”
The moment he heard that, Ashton felt a jolt of alarm. “Who’s behind him?”
“Have you heard of the King of Javonbury?” Lawrence asked, his expression growing solemn.
Ashton nodded. “I’ve heard of him, but according to my investigation, this King of Javonbury only exists in legends. Whether this person actually exists has always been a mystery.”
“I can tell you with certainty that this person is real,” Lawrence said quietly.
“According to legend, the King of Javonbury controls both the legal and criminal underworlds of Javonbury. He’s the uncrowned king of the city. If that’s true, once you defeat the Sage, the opponent you’ll face next is this King of Javonbury.”
“The King of Javonbury?” Ashton chuckled. “I’d actually like to meet him.”
Lawrence clapped Ashton on the shoulder and laughed.
“Don’t worry too much. As long as you defeat the Sage tomorrow, you’ll be the new ruler of Javonbury’s criminal underworld. Even if this King of Javonbury shows up, he can’t change that outcome. No matter what happens, I’ll be here.
“Go on a rampage if you have to. I’ve got your back.”
“Sure.” Ashton nodded.
With Lawrence backing him, he had the strongest support possible and feared no storm ahead
“Tomorrow, Neil, Kayla, and Leona will attend the Sage’s birthday banquet as invited guests. The Legion’s members and the Northern Troops will be on standby, ready for orders and maintaining combat readiness If anything goes wron
Lawrence snorted coldly as killing intent flickered in his eyes. “I won’t hesitate to let heads roll. ”
Something stirred in Ashton’s chest. He understood clearly that confronting the sage would push the Legion even further into the spotlight and create far greater trouble for them.
Yet, Lawrence still supported him without hesitation. It seemed Lawrence and the Legion had wagered everything they had on
this.
“Mr. Clarkson Senior, I won’t let you down,” Ashtan promised.

Lawrence laughed and said, “Do your best. I’ve bet everything, even the dowry I’ve been saving for Kayla’s future. I’ve fought my whole life and tried everything except being a wealthy tycoon.
“The Legion has always struggled too much, so we absolutely need to work together and harvest some profits.”
