Chapter 705
That single sentence ignited the crowd, and everyone’s breath quickened.
No one expected the Sage to be this direct and call Ashton out.
The question was simple–would Ashton dare to show his face?
“Mr. Vance, do you know your crimes?”
A thunderous voice swept in from the distance. It rolled across the grounds and exploded in everyone’s ears, pushing the already tense atmosphere higher.
“He’s here. That’s Ashton’s voice. That reckless fool actually dares to challenge the Sage. Is he trying to get himself killed? I thought he had already run. Does he even know what he’s facing? Where does he get the confidence?”
“The fight for the ruler of the criminal underworld in Javonbury has begun. This is a clash between the old era and the new. A battle that will change the world’s order.”
“Mr. Vance, just kill him already. I bet 300 million on this. I’m going to win back everything I lost on Clay, with interest.”
“Mr. Gray will create another miracle.”
Whispers and shouts broke out everywhere.
It wasn’t just inside the grounds. Outside Grandcrest Estate, everyone tensed up with their eyes fixed on the source of the voice. They gripped their fists in anticipation.
Under the collective gaze, Ashton walked toward the heart of the estate. He had an arm around Hazel and the other around
Rhonda. His black coat snapped in the wind as he walked, his gaze steady and sharp, battle intent burning without restraint.
“Isn’t that the Sage’s daughter and his mistress? Why are they with Ashton? And why do they look so submissive?”
“Rhonda looks stunning in that purple slip dress. But she’s the Sage’s mistress, right? Did Ashton cuckold him? And Hazel’s body is so provocative and hot. She’s the Sage’s daughter, right? She should be supporting her father. Why is she clinging to Ashton like that, looking at him with admiration?”
“What’s going on? Ashton just handed the Sage a massive insult the moment he arrived. He really knows how to stir a storm.”
“Things just got exciting. Javonbury’s big show opens with a killing blow. I’m loving this.”
“Stop right there! Ashton and the dogs are not allowed inside.”
As Ashton was about to step into the Grandcrest Estate, two transcendent realm experts leaped out to block his path.
At the same time, the entire estate seemed to come alive like a predator opening its eyes. Savage currents of energy surged upward as a deadly array covering the grounds finally revealed itself.
A sealed barrier slammed shut, locking Ashton outside. Beams of lethal energy began to lock onto him from all sides, preventing
him from taking another step.
He looked up and swept his gaze across the formation. A faint, contemptuous smile crossed his face as he produced the invitation Irina had given him.
“Mr. Vance, I came at your invitation to celebrate your birthday. Is this how you treat your guests?”
Flint’s eyes turned cold as he met Ashton’s gaze from a distance.
At that instant, an invisible killing intent had already clashed.
Flint’s pupils tightened. His gaze coldly swept over Hazel and Rhonda, and the killing intent in his eyes spiked. He had already expected Ashton to bring them here to humiliate him.

What he hadn’t accounted for was the crowd. The looks pressed in from every side, open and mocking, all said the same thing- they were watching him get cuckolded.
Whatever restraint he had left snapped.
Flint lifted his hand and pointed toward a low opening outside the main gate of Grandcrest Estate. A cold smile crept across his face.
“Ashton! If you came to celebrate my birthday, then use the entrance meant for you. Get down and crawl through that.”
Everyone watched with bated breath, wondering what Ashton would choose.
If he refused to crawl through and stepped into Grandcrest Estate instead, he would face the full onslaught of its terrifying estate’s deadly array. He would likely be reduced to ash before he even reached Flint.
