“It’s no wonder he’s so defiant! He actually has some skills to back it up! He clearly doesn’t realize that Raymond is backed by the Leighton family and the Apex Martial Academy, though. He only sealed his own fate by making Raymond lose his temper!”

“It’s getting more interesting! I’m sure someone from the Leighton family will show up soon! I heard the Sterling family and the Apex Martial Academy took over the Harmony Sect’s territory after their head died, so they’ve become quite formidable these days!”

“You’ve crossed the wrong person. You’re just digging your own grave now!”

Those present didn’t believe Ashton could win. After all, they were on Linton Island, and Raymond had the support of the Apex Martial Academy. There were very few factions on Linton Island that would ever risk crossing Raymond.

“You’re close with Cyrus, huh?” Ashton looked down at Raymond and asked with a chuckle, “Where is he, then?”

“He’ll be here soon! He owns Supreme Club! You still have a chance to plead for your life, Ashton!” Raymond snarled, his forehead pulsing with tension. He inwardly vowed to see Ashton pay dearly for his arrogance.

“What a madman!” Carol muttered to herself, her mind racing with ways to explain everything to Sarah. “He’s quite something! He’s got guts!” Zeke watched Ashton from the sidelines, looking impressed.

It was then that the elderly man standing beside Zeke asked softly, “Do you have intentions of taking this man into your service, Mr. Zapata?”

“I don’t think there’s a need to rush. “Let’s wait and see how things unfold,” Zeke said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Ashton, yelling, “It’s that brat right there, Mr. Leighton! He insulted both of us and claimed that we had to grovel before him and beg for forgiveness!

“He even told me to snap two of my fingers! He’s being completely unreasonable, Mr. Leighton!” “Ashton’s done for! Mr. Leighton from the Apex Martial Academy has actually arrived! He’s doomed! You must sever all ties with Ashton this instant to avoid getting caught in the crossfire, Carol!” Sully pulled Carol back even further, fearing that Ashton’s blood would spray on him when he was killed.
