Chapter 936

Ember snorted derisively, her voice growing significantly louder while retorting, “You’re actually engaged to that so–called Ashton? How absurd! Do you think a Holy Maiden of the Divine Phoenix Order can just marry whomever she pleases?

“Ashton is nowhere near worthy of marrying one of our Holy Maidens!”

She then narrowed her eyes slightly and stated solemnly, “I have no choice but to force the matter since you refuse to compel! You’ll be grateful to me once you’re part of the Divine Phoenix Order!”

She moved like a lightning strike, leaving an afterimage where she had stood. She was in front of Leona and Faye in a blink, her hands striking out to shred their defenses with ease. She seized them by the shoulders, intending to teleport out of sight.

“Get your hands off me!” Leona and Faye cried out, struggling against Ember’s hold, but their strength felt as though it had been sealed away.

They were unable to manifest any power, and even their potent bloodlines were crushed under the pressure, leaving them unable to fight back. They were handled like mere puppets.

“When the Divine Phoenix Order selects its Holy Maidens, refusal isn’t an option! You’ll thank me someday as your mentor!” Ember had no intention of continuing the conversation.

She was well aware that both Leona and Faye–one possessed the Wyvernborne lineage and the other the Phoenixborne lineage

were indispensable Holy Maidens, the very future of the Divine Phoenix Order.

“You’re Ashton, right?” Ember, having subdued Leona and Faye, cast a chilling look at Ashton.

She didn’t bother to hide her scorn, believing he was entirely unworthy of being compared to the two women she had just

recruited to the Divine Phoenix Order.

“That’s right!” Ashton replied gravely.

Ember commanded, “You are to perform a Soul–Oath! You will stay away from Leona and Faye from now on, and your

Ashton?” engagement to Faye is also called off from today onward! You hear me,

There was an uproar that swept through the onlookers, as no one had anticipated that Ember would subject Ashton to such blatant humiliation. Had he complied with the Soul–Oath, he would have been humiliated beyond measure, making it impossible for him to stand tall before the Divine Phoenix Order.

“Ashton is actually being coerced into breaking off the engagement!”

“How could the head of the Divine Phoenix Order be so overbearing? She’s clearly bullying Ashton!”

“Ember certainly possessed the power to get away with this, though!”

In that instant, everyone’s attention turned to Ashton, wanting to know what he would do under Ember’s overwhelming

pressure.

Roxy also looked toward Ashton, her expression fraught with mixed emotions. She found it hard to believe that Ashton’s engagement to Faye was actually real.

She never thought that Ashton would already move on to a new life when she hadn’t even finished processing their past. She mused that whatever slim chance she thought they had of getting back together was officially over.

“I’m engaged to Faye! I won’t break off the engagement unless Faye refuses to marry me!” Ashton declared firmly, his profound eyes meeting Ember’s cold ones head–on.

“You’ve got some guts—I’ll give you that! Do you truly not fear death, though?”

Ember’s eyes flashed with killing intent as her spiritual energy surged, sending out waves of overwhelming pressure that slammed into Ashton like massive peaks, intending to crush him to the ground and fores a compromise.
