Chapter 954
Irene stated solemnly, “Your father had made it clear that if he were ever gone, you should never try to track him down, Ash. You should stop investigating any further. Your father will return if he’s able to.”
Ashton had never seen Irene so terrified before. He knew very well that she knew more than she was letting on and didn’t want him crossing the Drake family.
He remembered Lawrence’s warning-if the Drakes discovered any impure bloodline living among the public, they would treat them as stains to be wiped out. They would go as far as killing off entire branches of a family to prevent that half-breed bloodline from spreading.
Ashton felt a sudden sense of dread at that thought.
“I know you’ve always been bitter about your father leaving, but you have to believe that he had his reasons. I’m begging you, Ash please stop looking into your father’s past,” Irene said, sounding increasingly distressed.
“I hear you, Mom. I won’t do any more investigating into Dad,” Ashton said, giving his word.
Irene breathed a sigh of relief. “I just want you to have a good life. There’s nothing wrong with living a quiet, ordinary life- that’s exactly what your father wanted for you, too, Ash.”
Ashton smiled wryly. Ever since his Drakeborne lineage awakened, his return to the criminal underworld following his divorce from Roxy, and his mastery of the Drakell technique, being “ordinary” was no longer an option. He was destined for a path defined by bloodshed and killing.
He would either reach the summit of the world by refining Lord Ashdrake’s power, or he would be wiped out, consumed by Lord Ashdrake’s consciousness, and be reduced to nothing. He could no longer live a simple, ordinary life, and to make matters worse, he was currently facing a major threat.
He clearly felt his Drakeborne lineage growing increasingly intense, his blood racing faster through his veins. He knew that if he failed to consummate with the chosen maiden with an extreme Lunar physique, he could fall into deviation within days and
be destroyed from within
“I’ll be off to meet Miranda, then, Mom,” Ashton said.
Irene said with a smile, “You
should hurry up, then. You’d better treat her right and show her your best side. I’d really love to have Miranda as a daughter-in-law.”
In the meantime, over in Javonbury, Gwen from the Drake family repeatedly used her spiritual consciousness to scan Javonbury, searching for the half-breed who carried the Drake family’s lineage.
She knew that her mentor had sensed the half-breed’s presence within Javonbury, but she remained unsuccessful in tracking him down. She couldn’t find any trace of him, nor had she detected any energy fluctuation belonging to the Drakeborne lineage.
“Is it possible that ma’am was mistaken?” Gwen pursed her lips before shaking her head in disagreement. “Is it possible that he has already left, or have I arrived too late?”
“Who’s there?” Queenie detected Gwen’s spiritual consciousness right at that moment. She glided forward with grace and stood before her.
She eyed the stranger suspiciously and said, “You’re from the Drake family, one of the ancient martial arts fainiltes. What brings you here to Javonbury?”
Gwen’s eyes flickered with a mysterious glint as she realized the true extent of Queenie’s power. She bowed her head in respect before saying, “I’m looking for a certain individual, and I would appreciate it if you could tell me what you know, Ms. Nolan “* “Who are you looking for?” Queenie asked flatly.
