“How shameless!” Kayla exclaimed in fury, her voice filled with indignation.
Standing beside her, Ashton remained calm because he understood clearly that the victors wrote history. If he and Lawrence truly died here today, the accusation of treason would never be cleared.
They had countless ways to shift the blame onto him and Lawrence. The Legion’s hard–earned reputation would collapse with them. Jaden and the others‘ scheme was vicious.
“Fine. Very well,” Lawrence said with a cold laugh. “From where I stand, you are the real traitors. Today, I will pass judgment on all of you. But before that happens, we should settle the wager between us.”
At this point, he no longer seemed eager to leave because he had already prepared himself for what
might come.
The moment the word “wager” was mentioned, Maxwell, who stood behind Jaden, turned pale. Without saying a word, he immediately shot toward the cliff below.
He had no intention of becoming the one sacrificed. He didn’t want to die here.
Jaden frowned, remembering the contract he had signed with Lawrence, and fell silent.
“According to the agreement, if Ashton becomes the King of Javonbury, you must present Maxwell’s head,” Lawrence said calmly. “However, it seems you don’t plan to do it yourself, so I’ll handle it for you.”
At that instant, a cold gleam flashed in Lawrence’s eyes. He shook the Sovereign Silver Spear, and a second silver spear manifested in the sky above them. A colossal spear stretched across the sky, radiating overwhelming power as it locked onto Maxwell’s forehead like a cataclysm.
In the next moment, the silver spear plunged downward like a falling star, accelerating toward Maxwell with terrifying speed that exceeded the limits of human sight. The crowd only saw a flash of silver light

ately, he felt his entire body tremble. Every hair stood on end as terror and despair athering all his strength, he instantly condensed a defensive domain around himself lock the attack.
gle heartbeat, the spear tore through the air with violent sparks before crashing down. The it the spearhead struck Maxwell’s defensive domain, the two forces exploded simultaneously,
sending waves of energy rippling outward in all directions.
Almost immediately, the defensive domain Maxwell had formed with all his strength shattered like a bubble pierced by a blade.
Maxwell’s eyes widened, blood vessels bursting across them as absolute despair engulfed him. In front of that silver spear, his power meant nothing. The only thing left for him to do was wait for death.

The spear pierced straight through his forehead and killed him instantly. Blood sprayed through the air as his body fell from the sky, his eyes still filled with fear and resentment. The current head of the Dominion Vanguard had died just like that.
Everything had happened in the blink of an eye, and most of the people present hadn’t even reacted yet. Those who remained could only swallow nervously while staring at Lawrence with trembling hearts. Their eyes were filled with awe at the terrifying power he had just displayed.
Blood seeped from the corner of Lawrence’s mouth. His already pale face grew even more gaunt and sickly, and he swayed slightly as if he might collapse at any moment.
