Chapter 973

A murderous wave of divine realm energy swept through the area.

Aaron and Maddox were only semi-divine realm experts. Crushed beneath Ashton’s divine realm aura, they quickly began to tremble uncontrollably. They became overwhelmed with fear and couldn’t muster the courage to fight back.

Ashton was far more frightening than Steven was.

It was at this moment that they finally realized how terrifyingly powerful the young man before them truly was. If Ashton wanted them dead, he’d be able to kill them off with a single strike.

Yet, once they heard that Ashton intended to become the uncrowned ruler of Linton Island’s criminal underworld, they frowned and became hesitant.

After Steven’s death, the pair had assumed that they could divide the Harmony Sect’s territory between themselves. Then, the whole of Linton Island’s criminal underworld would belong to them alone.

But now, Ashton was clearly demanding that they submit to him.

How was this any different from Steven’s actions?

Aaron and Maddox exchanged glances.

“You must be unfamiliar with how things work around here, Mr. Gray,” Aaron said through gritted teeth. “The forces in Linton Island’s criminal underworld are deeply interconnected. Without a proper foundation, it’ll be difficult for you to establish yourself-let alone command respect.”

Once his own interests were at stake, Aaron had no choice but to tread carefully. The last thing he wanted was to lose both his daughter and everything he had built.

“He’s right, Mr. Gray. You’re not from around here, are you? If you try to take control of our criminal underworld, the people would definitely be displeased. If there’s anything you need, just say the word, and we’ll do our best to fulfill your request,” Maddox added in an ingratiating tone.

No one in their position was truly willing to submit to another person. If they were to do so, they’d practically be placing their lives and their fates in someone else’s hands. Sooner or later, they’d inevitably be stripped of their powers and exiled from their

homes.

Similar events had happened countless times throughout history.

“I’ll take that as a no, then?” Ashton asked coolly.

“We’re not refusing,” Aaron said in a low voice. “This is just… a complicated matter.”

“Exactly, Mr. Gray,” Maddox added. “Why don’t we have a discussion about this before we come to a decision?”

As he spoke, Maddox was studying Ashton’s expression carefully. If anything seemed off, he’d immediately back down and pretend to comply. There was no way he would truly surrender his territory and submit to Ashton entirely

“The two of you have been stuck in the semi-divine realm for quite some time now, haven’t you?” Ashton asked, abruptly changing the topic.

At the mention of this, both Aaron and Maddox nodded helplessly. After witnessing the power of the divine realin today, they felt a deep sense of frustration and an even stronger desire to achieve a breakthrough.

However, unless a rare opportunity were to present itself, they knew that they had likely reached the limits of there cultivation

Casoria was huge. There were countless formidable martial arts experts across the land, but only a select few managed to step into the divine realin.
