Afterward, Roxy left without another word. She was determined to rise above Ashton and prove that she was right. She refused to lose—she wanted to show everyone that she was better than him.
Eunice and Robert’s faces paled as they watched Ashton and Roxy leave one after the other. They didn’t expect their plan to backfire and instead deepen the rift between the two.
Eunice let out a long sigh. She couldn’t even begin to imagine how things would ultimately end between Ashton and Roxy.
“This is all because they didn’t sleep with each other!” Robert exclaimed regretfully. “There’s got to be some way to get them both into bed. If once isn’t enough, we’ll just get them to do it a couple more times! There’s nothing a couple of nights together can’t fix!”
Soon, night fell once again. At 10:00 am the next day, a life–or–death match would be held at Terminus Cliff to determine who would rule over Javonbury as its new king!
Representatives from various major factions had already gathered around Terminus Cliff. Every single one of them was eager to witness the battle that would decide Javonbury’s future.
“The Curios Chamber’s betting pools are about to close, and the total wagers have broken records once again. For the first time, the pool has exceeded one trillion in total bets!
This time, the stakes are clearly divided. All bets were split between Cassian Lowery, the King of Javonbury, and Ashton Gray, who is a member of the Legion.
“Both sides have put everything on the line. The winner will claim full dominion over the city and be the undisputed King of Javonbury. This is a high–stakes gamble like no other!”
“Have you guys heard? The spectators of this match are all formidable martial arts experts. According to my knowledge, the leaders of the Dominion Vanguard and the Empyrean Sentinel will both be present, and the Jalunese Martial Association will send over a few divine realm experts.
“Even the Lowery family will deploy a couple of martial arts experts on their end.
“On Ashton Gray’s side, Mr. Clarkson Senior will show up with the legionnaires. In addition, factions and organizations such as the Curios Chamber and the Heavenly Medical Pavilion will be present. All eyes will be on this highly significant match!”
“I’ve also heard that Cassian had trained in seclusion before this match. He’s now stronger than ever. Meanwhile, neither Ashton nor his allies have managed to surpass their limits and reach the divine realm. Honestly, the results of the match are pretty obvious.”
“Do you think Ashton will run from the fight? After all, it’s almost certain that he’ll lose his life. He’s going up against the appointed heir of the Lowery family! The man is practically unbeatable.”
“Ashton will definitely show up! If he doesn’t, he and the Legion will be shamed for the rest of their lives. On top of that, the Legion’s hopes of regaining its former glory will be snuffed out as well. The only way the organization can rise again is if Ashton becomes the King of Javonbury.”
“Let’s just wait and see. All will be revealed tomorrow!”
“I’m really looking forward to this.”
The crowd buzzed with speculation as they awaited the final battle that would decide Javonbury’s fate.
Time gradually passed, and soon the morning sun began to rise.
Terminus Cliff was practically filled with members of Javonbury’s various factions. Every single one of them was patiently waiting for the decisive fight to begin.

All of a sudden, a shrill voice called out, “The King of Javonbury, Cassian Lowery, is here!”
Heads turned as the crowd craned their necks to take a look. Cassian, who was accompanied by Roxy and George, marthed forward and headed straight toward the combat stage. The two divine realm experts exuded an aura that filled the air with an oppressive force.
As the trio stepped onto the platform, the bystanders inhaled sharply and felt incredibly terrified.
“Cassian’s aura has gotten stronger! What a terrifying man. No wonder he’s the appointed heir of the ancient martial arts family! He’s much more powerful than an average divine realm expert. If Ashton and his allies are still in the semi–divine realn they’re going to be walking straight into their own deaths!”
“I can’t believe it–Roxy is exuding the aura of an SSS–ranked transcendent realm expert! Wasn’t she just a supreme grandmaster before this? How is she achieving so many breakthroughs in such a short amount of time?
“George Moore–Javonbury’s wealthiest man–is also a divine realm expert. His aura is not as terrifying as Cassian’s, but he’s still a formidable fighter. The results of this match are incredibly apparent!”
