On the other hand, some of Ashton’s supporters were trembling uncontrollably. Their faces went pale with fear, and their hearts
sank.
Behind Flint stood three members of the Jalunese Martial Association–Gareth, Chadwick Qualls, and Myron Stolaroff.
All three of them emanated the dangerous aura of their semi–divine realm powers, and each burned with murderous intent. They fixed Ashton with a frigid, slightly mocking gaze. To them, Ashton was dead meat.
They decided to bring Ashton’s severed head back to Jalun and use that as a warning to those who dared to challenge or oppose the Jalunese Martial Association.
They could also pressurize and intimidate those from Casoria with martial expertise.
Other than those three from the Jalunese Martial Association, there were also Cadence and Tybalt.
Both of them had achieved the peak of the transcendent realm.
Flint also had two of his most loyal followers close beside him. One of them radiated the aura of a peak transcendent realm expert, while the other gave off the aura of a semi–divine realm expert.
The last two people were Felix and Ronan from the Dominion Vanguard. The two of them were semi–divine experts.
They stared at Ashton with a scornful look in their eyes. They seemed set on making Ashton suffer the humiliation they and their members had been put through by a hundredfold.
All of them made up a team of ten, including Flint.
The killing intent released by those ten people fused together and created a dangerous, overwhelming pressure.
The people present there couldn’t help but shake slightly. If it weren’t for Flint and his team members holding back a little, the others might not even be able to stay on their feet.
“That’s not fair!”
Someone complained aloud, “How could the men from the Jalunese Martial Association and Dominion Vanguard join Mr. Vance’s team? They’re not even affiliated with Mr. Vance’s group!”
“That’s right! You can only pick those under your lead to participate in the battle to decide the next ruler of Javonbury’s criminal
underworld.”
Those on Ashton’s side voiced their dissatisfaction aloud.
“Hah!”
Gareth let out a scoff. “The three of us left the Jalunese Martial Association and joined Mr. Vance’s faction yesterday. Since we follow Mr. Vance’s command now, there’s no reason we can’t participate in this battle and help him.”
Ronan chimed in, “Felix and I withdrew from the Dominion Vanguard and joined Mr. Vance’s faction yesterday as well. According to the criminal underworld’s rules, we have every right to fight for Mr. Vance!”
Others were shocked upon hearing those words.
This was undoubtedly a premeditated plan.
For this battle that might happen at any time, Flint had made the necessary arrangements early on in preparation for the worst.
He wasn’t going to allow any possibility of Ashton becoming the next ruler of Javonbury’s criminal underworld.
Including Flint, their team had seven semi–divine realm experts and three peak transcendent realm experts.

These ten people could wipe out all the factions in Javonbury if they worked together? How could Ashton’s team possibly hold up against them?
Flint’s team possessed powers that made them almost invincible.
“How shameless of them! That’s considered cheating!”
The person who shouted had bulging veins appearing on their ashen face. They seemed rather powerless, even though they were yelling furiously.
“Those are the rules! Mr. Vance hasn’t done anything wrong according to the rules. If Ashton wishes to question Mr. Vance’s actions and replace him as the new ruler of Javonbury’s criminal underworld, he ought to be prepared. The lot of you just sound hilarious when you accuse Mr. Vance of cheating.”
“That’s right. Ashton could always pull out of this battle if he thinks he’s no match for Mr. Vance. It’s just a bit embarrassing for him to do that. However, there’s no guarantee that Mr. Vance will kindly let him off even if Ashton has admitted his defeat.”
“Hmph! Everyone has to be punished for the mistakes they make. Ashton is dead this time. A team of seven semi–divine realm experts and three peak transcendent realm experts would be more than enough to kill him!”
Flint’s supporters were elated. Those who had bet huge sums of money on him winning were grinning from ear to ear.
“Hahaha! That’s how impressive Mr. Vance is! As expected of the man who had ruled over Javonbury’s criminal underworld for decades, no one could possibly not be impressed by his clever move. Ashton has agreed to the rules of the battle himself. The only ending waiting for him now is death!
“If I were Ashton, I would immediately get down on my knees and beg for forgiveness. Perhaps Mr. Vance would be magnanimous enough not to end his life. Even the heavens are on my side! I’m going to make a lot of money! I’m so happy!”
