Chapter 718
The outpouring of killing intent cut through the air.
“With Clive and Ivan joining him, Ashton might be able to hold up against the men on the Sage’s side. A battle to the death has finally begun! Blood will inevitably be spilled during a battle of this scale. The entire Javonbury will be thrown into turmoil because of this!”
“A battle between those in power in the criminal underworld has always been very harsh and cruel. They normally won’t stop until there is only one person left standing.”
“I wonder how many people will die or shed blood tonight…”
“I fear it’s impossible to predict the outcome of this battle. As far as I’m aware, this is the first time someone has ever managed to drive the Sage into a corner.
“Ashton may be young, yet he’s extraordinarily powerful and talented. He does have what it takes to ascend to the highest position of Javonbury’s criminal underworld.”
The people from different groups and backgrounds broke out in a cold sweat. They slowly took a few steps back, not wanting to be dragged into the battle.
“Mr. Vance and Mr. Gray…”
As the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Logan stepped forward. He glanced at Flint, then turned his gaze toward
Ashton.
He said, “Since it has come to this, a battle to the death may end with you two losing your lives, which means no one wins. Since you two are roughly equally matched, why don’t we decide who gets to be the new ruler of the criminal underworld in Javonbury by using the most ancient method we have here?”
“What method is that?” Ashton narrowed his eyes, the orbs blazing with a strong fighting spirit. The Drakeborne lineage in his body was slowly awakened.
He had kicked up such a huge ruckus while anticipating this moment. That was the real goal he was trying to achieve.
Ashton desperately needed a battle that could drive him to his wits‘ end and push him to his limits.
Tonight was the moment he had been waiting for. This would be a golden opportunity for him.
He examined the spiritual energy in his body that had yet to be infused into his bones and flesh. He was hoping that the battle could help him absorb the spiritual energy.
That way, he might have a chance to reach the divine realm.
That was the real goal Ashton had.
Logan said unhurriedly, “With that method, each of you is to choose ten representatives to participate in a battle. The last person standing makes the person they represent the winner and the new ruler of Javonbury’s criminal underworld.”
The others were momentarily stunned upon hearing that. Then, a lot of them nodded.
They could avoid unnecessary bloodshed and assess the cultivation levels of both parties‘ top fighters.
“What do you think?” Logan directed his gaze toward Flint and Ashton.
Flint seemed to have already made up his mind. He nodded. “I have no problem with that.”
“Sure.” Ashton gave a slight nod. He was feeling increasingly excited.
“It’s been decided, then! Each side will choose ten men to participate in a battle, with the last person standing winning. Let’s see

Logan continued aloud, “If both of you don’t mind, how about I become the judge of this match? We have a deathmatch stage in Grandcrest Estate that can be used as the venue for the battle.”
Both Ashton and Flint had no objections to Logan’s suggestion.
“Everyone, please move to the deathmatch stage!” Logan smiled faintly.
In an instant, people arrived in two groups outside Grandcrest Estate’s deathmatch stage, which had been sealed off by a barrier.
The killing intent swiftly spread across the area. Faint crackling sounds came from around them as tension continued to build. Fine, red lines appeared in most people’s eyes.
Not only would the battle decide who could be the next ruler of Javonbury’s criminal world, but it would also directly affect Javonbury’s future development and a bet of over 800 billion dollars.
