Chapter 775
In that instant, Flint’s momentum surged, instantly drowning out Ashton’s and subjecting him to an inexhaustible pressure.
“That energy is too overwhelming–it completely eclipses Gareth and dwarfs Ashton! If this is the Sage’s true strength, then it’s over! There’s no way a badly wounded Ashton has any chance of winning this! It’ll be a completely one–sided fight!”
“Had the Sage been elderly and weak with declining energy, Ashton might have actually won the fight. However, since the current Sage is even more powerful than he was at his peak, the outcome of this battle is not in doubt.”
“I’ve said it before—Ashton is a fool tilting at windmills! His fate was already sealed, regardless of his efforts. He’ll die at Grandcrest Estate! His ambition to become the ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury is nothing but a fantasy! He can keep dreaming–maybe he’ll have better luck in his next life!”
“I won’t be losing my bet today. The Sage is unbeatable! Ashton should just do me a favor and die at the Sage’s hands already!”
There was a group of gamblers who roared in excitement. They hurled a steady stream of curses at Ashton, as they were only obsessed with the outcome of their wagers.
Neil and the others grew somber as they realized that Flint was even more powerful than they had anticipated. He was a much greater threat than Gareth had been, and because he had watched Ashton’s every move throughout the several fights, he likely
understood Ashton’s vital points and weaknesses.
“I’ll step in, Ashton!” Faye’s spiritual voice suddenly rang out in Ashton’s mind via a telepathic communication.
Ashton shook his head, saying, “I’m not letting you have this one. I’ve looked forward to it for far too long. I won’t be defeated as long as I can still stand, so there’s nothing to worry about.
“I’m actually quite fired up now, so you should just stand aside and watch your man become the new ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury! I hope you won’t forget your promise when the time comes!”
Faye’s heart stirred at the sight of Ashton’s spirited defiance, a slight blush creeping onto her face. She had promised him that if he successfully took down Flint, she would give him a chance to pursue her. She couldn’t help but wonder if he had misinterpreted that as her agreeing to be his then and there.
Ashton, with heavy, rhythmic breathing, felt a jolt through his entire being. He tightened his fist and entered a state of total focus, tuning out the world around him. He saw no one but Flint through his bloodshot eyes. The long–awaited moment had finally arrived.
“You ought to know that the world is much larger and more unforgiving than you can imagine! I’m willing to offer you a way out, though. I’ll spare you as long as you submit to me and accept my servitude seal.
“You’d stand above all others, second only to me, and I’d grant you the chance to reach the divine realm! You should consider this carefully, as this is your only way out, Ashton!”
Flint’s energy continued to surge, and his killing intent locked firmly onto Ashton He viewed the younger man as a trappest beast in its final throes. He believed he now held absolute dominion over whether Ashton lived or died
“You talk too much, you old geezer!” Ashton erupted forward like a black dragon in fury, pushing his physical strength to its absolute limit as he took the initiative to strike
Ashton reasoned that despite Flint’s surging energy, he was still an so–year–old man at his core. He mused that his physical body had to be his greatest weakness.
