“I will,” Ashton said as he turned to leave.

According to the plan, he would pick up Rhonda and Hazel before making his final preparations to confront the Sage.

Threads of killing intent howled and raged through Grandcrest Estate without pause. The air turned heavy and grim as the temperature plunged toward freezing point.

Many powerful figures arrived, and every single person invited was a prominent name in Javonbury.

Irina led her people in receiving the guests, while Clive and Ivan maintained order throughout the estate. They were in charge of arranging seating for the birthday banquet.

Soon, the arriving factions gradually split into two camps.

One camp supported the Sage. Among them were Ronan and Felix from the Dominion Vanguard, Gareth and his two companions from the Jalunese Martial Association, and Logan from the Empyrean Sentinel.

In addition, Cadence and Millie had arrived, along with Tybalt and Damian.

The opposing camp supporting Ashton was clearly much smaller and consisted mainly of Legion members. Neil, Leona, and Kayla sat at the front, all three wearing grave expressions.

Given the scale of this birthday banquet, the Sage truly lived up to his reputation as the ruler of Javonbury’s criminal underworld. So, the idea of overthrowing him bordered on the impossible.

“Mr. Bloomberg, will Ashton be fine?”

Kayla couldn’t shake her unease. Across from her, terrifying auras and crushing pressure filled the space. The Sage was displaying his power.

“Since Ashton is Mr. Clarkson’s choice, I believe he won’t let us down,” Neil replied, though he was just as tense.

The current balance of power was overwhelming. He couldn’t imagine how Ashton would break this situation.

Leona wore a fiery red dress, her eyes locking with Ronan and Felix. She let out a sigh.

Since joining the Legion, she had learned exactly what kind of man the Sage was. She couldn’t understand why the Dominion Vanguard would support someone like him.

Was it really just because of their conflict with the Legion? This made Leona doubt the Dominion Vanguard’s sense of justice.

Behind them, Wanda sat with Julia. Both sat with absolute poise, their eyes calm and unreadable.

“I haven’t heard anything about Connor lately,” Julia said, her voice laced with doubt. “I know him, and he wouldn’t have stopped pursuing you without a reason. He should have shown up today. Could something have happened?”

“Maybe he finally realized he was out of his league,” Wanda said with a faint smile, though her mind was anything but calm.

She had a suspicion about what had happened, but she didn’t dare follow that thought to its end.

Julia looked at her daughter and shook her head. “Stop holding onto those unrealistic fantasies about Ashton. If he shows up today, he won’t leave alive. There is no way he becomes the new ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury.”

“Mom, reality will prove you wrong,” Wanda said firmly. “I trust him.”

On the other side, Faye arrived with Brandon. She was trying to stay out of sight, but every eye in the room found her anyway.

“Mr. Ward, do you think that guy has any chance of beating the Sage?” she asked. “No matter how I look at it, this feels like an
