Eunice threw herself at Ashton.

Beneath the statue of the Lady of Grace, the spark of passion caught like dry tinder, and their restraint collapsed. They didn’t hold back, and an hour vanished into a blur of heat.

When it ended, there was only the heavy quiet and the tattered remains of her clothes.

“You can go now,” she said, her body still flushed with heat from the encounter.

She pulled her tattered clothes over her body and looked at Ashton.

“You… You have to win.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve never lost,” Ashton replied, standing up and getting dressed.

He reached out to stroke her cheek.

“I’ll come find you next time,” he said, his voice dropping to a tender, teasing tone.

“What?”

Eunice’s body trembled. The blush that had just begun to fade surged back, covering her in a fresh wave of heat.

“Don’t talk to me about ‘next time‘ until you make it through today,” she shot back, turning her face away.

Roxy’s face flashed in her mind, bringing a wave of guilt that mixed with a strange, illicit thrill. What was wrong with her? She’d

sworn the last time was the end of it.

“I’m just afraid he’ll die,” she muttered, trying to convince herself. “After all, he’s the deputy head, and the only future the Legion has. There won’t be a next time.”

By the time Eunice pulled herself together, she realized Ashton had already left the church. She watched his shadow disappear down the steps, but her heart wouldn’t stop pounding.

After today, her feelings for him had undergone a fundamental shift. The line between him and the Lord Reaper had vanished. To her, they were the same man.

Eunice was drawn to him, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t resist it. She knew the risk, the immorality, and the betrayal of her best friend, eRoxy. Still, she couldn’t control herself.

“What should I do…”

She covered her flushing face with both hands as her body continued to tremble.

Ashton left the church without a second thought. Whatever Eunice was feeling meant nothing to him, and he carried no guilt.

His creed was simple–he never initiated, he never refused, and he never took responsibility.

“My spiritual energy has surged again,” he thought, battle–fire igniting in his eyes. “I need an even more intense life–or–death battle. This time, I have to push myself to the absolute brink. I want to know what it feels like to die.”

At the same time, the Curios Chamber closed the betting pool on who would become the ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury. The total amount exceeded 800 billion dollars, a figure that left everyone stunned.

But it was the sheer volume of wagers that truly shocked the public. With nearly a quarter of the population holding a stake in the outcome, the madness surrounding the flight for the throne was undeniable.

Someone said, “Only one hour left. People from the Dominion Vanguard and Empyrean Sentinel have both entered Grandcrest Estate with gifts for the Sage. That means three superpowers are standing behind him now–the Jalunese Martial Association, the Dominion Vanguard, and the Empyrean Sentinel.

“As for Ashton’s only support, Mr. Clarkson Senior, he has already fallen into a coma. Now tell me, who still thinks Ashton can defy fate and become the new ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury? This time, we’re guaranteed to win.”

“Ashton will definitely die today. I’d stake my life on it.”

“Look at all these powerful figures arriving. The Sage’s influence is massive.”

“The alliance behind the Sage is too strong. The old order doesn’t break easily. Ashton is in over his head.”

“I still believe in Mr. Gray,” someone muttered. “I don’t need a reason. I just do.”
