Ashton’s eyes blazed with fury. He had given Wanda his word that he would never allow her to marry into the Heavenly Medical Pavilion or be sacrificed for a marriage alliance. He was a man of his word.
He also had to help her, since she had been a huge help to him in every respect, and he shared a profound bond with her. He couldn’t possibly just stand there and watch Callum take her away.
“You don’t have to do this, Ashton!” Wanda felt both touched and deeply afraid at Ashton’s desperate charge.
She shook her head anxiously, yelling, “I’ll be fine! I’m from the Shepherd family, so they wouldn’t dare hurt me! You should just stay back, Ashton!”
Ashton closed the distance and arrived in front of Callum, mustering all his strength to deliver a Sixfold Draconic Fist.
“You’re overestimating yourself, Ashton!” Callum’s eyes narrowed as his otherworldly realm powers surged violently, creating a massive force that obliterated Ashton’s strike and blasted him away.
Ashton felt as though he had been struck by lightning, his injuries splitting open again as he flew through the air in an arc and slammed hard into the ground.
Ashton, with his current injuries and realm of power, stood no chance against Callum, the head of the Heavenly Medical Pavilion.
“Please don’t let Wanda be taken away!” Ashton pleaded as he struggled to his feet.
He realized the vast difference in strength between him and Callum, so he had no choice but to ask Queenie for assistance. He knew that if she were willing to intervene with her mysterious, terrifying spatial abilities, she could easily prevent Wanda from being taken away.
Queenie glanced at Ashton with contempt. “Why should I be the one to step in to save your woman, Ashton? Is this the sort of thing Lawrence taught you?”
Ashton clenched his fists, pleading earnestly, “I’ll be in your debt if you save Wanda!”
“Is your debt even worth anything, Ashton?” Queenie retorted, shaking her head.
“I’m not Lawrence–I’m not going to protect you at all times. I accepted the position of the head of the Legion for three years only to see if the Legion deserves to exist. I won’t intervene in other matters in most cases, so you’ll have to rely on yourself, Ashton.”
Ashton’s heart sank as he became acutely aware of how indifferent Queenie truly was.
“Got it.”
Ashton instantly stopped his pleadings. He mobilized every bit of his energy again and charged at Callum. He refused to give up on Wanda without a fight.

“You have courage, I’ll give you that, but for a mere divine realm expert to act so boldly in my presence is utterly disrespectful, Ashton!”
Callum then looked toward Queenie and before adding coldly, “I’ll spare you today for Queenie’s sake! I’ll make sure there’s nothing left of you to bury if this happens again, Ashton!”
He channeled a terrifying power into a five–fingered seal above, which descended toward Ashton with a force equivalent to a celestial collapse.
Ashton’s energy was instantly flattened and pulverized.
In that instant, a terrifying energy ate into his insides and tore at his skin, sending sprays of blood bursting forth in a gruesome yet striking display.
“M–Ms. Nolan-”
Neil wanted to plead for Ashton, but Queenie stopped him with a wave of her hand. “He brought this upon himself! He’s the fool for trying to play the hero when he doesn’t even have the power to back it up!”
“B–But-”
“You can rest assured that he’s as tough as they come–he won’t be dying anytime soon!”
