Chapter 696
Hazel let out a soft hum.
“Tomorrow, I’m taking you and Rhonda to celebrate the Sage’s 80th birthday,” Ashton said, lifting her chin and looking down
at her with a mocking smile.
“Wear something sexy. You’ll get to watch me kill the Sage and become the ruler of Javonbury’s criminal underworld.”
He added, “I wasn’t satisfied with your performance today. Next time, don’t be so useless.”
He stood and left, having treated her like a disposable thing.
“Bastard!” Hazel’s eyes flashed with anger as she pouted. “Next time, I’ll make sure you’re the one who can’t keep up. Hmph!”
After leaving her room, Ashton felt a slight surge of spiritual energy. It was an improvement, but it still wasn’t enough to breakthrough into the divine realm.
Afterward, he opened the door to the third–floor room. Rhonda seemed to have been expecting him, curled slightly on the bed.
The purple slip dress accentuated her graceful figure to perfection. Her face–still captivating and beautiful–showed no trace of aging or the life she’d been living. It was exactly why the Sage had kept her around as a showpiece.
What a waste that the Sage lacked the capacity to appreciate a woman’s charms. Otherwise, a beauty like Rhonda would never have remained untouched for long.
“What… What do you want?” Ashton asked.
“You promised me and said you’d wait until you took the Sage’s head before claiming me.”
She sounded panicked, like a helpless little rabbit.
“My promise is still valid. But if you offer yourself willingly, I won’t refuse.”
The heat in his body had already been stirred.
“Don’t even think about it.”
Her voice carried a magnetic pull that only stoked his desire.
In the end, Ashton didn’t force himself on Rhonda. After all, the Drakell technique required the partner’s willing cooperation. Besides, forcing a woman was never his way.
“Don’t you want the Sage dead? Come with me tomorrow. According to our agreement, you’ll be mine after tomorrow. Your body and soul will belong entirely to me.”
He reached out and brushed her cheek, his fingers lingering as he smiled like a devil.
Rhonda’s heart hammered in her chest, her sultry eyes glimmered with a storm of emotions.
Moments later, he left the small villa. He didn’t care about spending another night indulging himself.
Under the cover of night, Ashton’s eyes burned with raw desire. The Drakell technique surged violently within him, and hist Cosmic Breathing Technique began to flow on its own.
He was going to find Elise, one of the chosen maidens who possessed the Bewitching constitution. This was his true chance to break into the divine realm, and she would be the target of his final night.
Ashton quickened his pace and soon arrived at the Blossom Hall.
The bevy of enchanting women at this place seemned to know exactly why he had come. They smiled, winked, and laughed in a teasing, playful way, fueling the Drakell technique raging through him.

“Where’s Ms. Haywood?” he asked.
“Mr. Gray, she’s already waiting for you in her room.”

Ashton’s heart stirred. The exquisite face of this woman, once Javonbury’s greatest beauty, flashed through his mind.
His heart began to race as the Drakeborne lineage within him boiled. He quickened his steps and soon reached Elise’s room.
When he pushed it open, a rich, feminine scent washed over him. It felt like stepping into a dream.
