After receiving the Energy Condensation Pill, Brody felt the purity of its spiritual energy. He was visibly shocked and excited. Still, he never expected to come across such an opportunity today.

“Dr. Gray, I’ll never forget this favor,” he said.

“You don’t need to. Everything comes at a price. I saved your life, so it naturally belongs to me,” Ashton replied calmly.

“Mr. Zapata, you haven’t forgotten our agreement, right? From now on, you’ll submit to me and allow me to plant the death mark on you and your son so that I can control your lives at any time.”

As soon as those words were spoken, the temperature in the room seemed to drop. An uneasy tension surged through the air, growing sharper by the second.

Brody had given Ashton his word, but what did that matter?

His cultivation level was stronger now than before. His men had the club surrounded, and with a single command, he could bring in even more powerful forces. No matter how strong Ashton was, could he really fight his way through everything Linton Island could throw at him?

Brody fell silent, his mind locked in a fierce struggle.

After all, what Ashton had shown in that fight earlier was terrifying. Even now, Zeke couldn’t read him, and he didn’t dare meet his eyes.

Cyrus lowered his voice, tension tightening in his chest. He couldn’t understand why Ashton was so confident. Wasn’t Ashton afraid Brody might turn on him?

“No need,” Ashton replied coldly, his eyes fixed on Brody as he waited for his answer.

A full five minutes passed in silence before Brody finally let out a sigh. The killing intent he had gathered faded into the air, and he dropped to one knee.

“Mr. Gray, from this day forward, we will follow your every command,” he stated.

Brody and Zeke rose to their feet. Their eyes were fixed on Ashton, whom they couldn’t read.

“I know that planting the death mark in your heart doesn’t sit well with you. You think you just lost your best chance. I don’t like forcing people, so I’ll give you one shot.

“Come at me with everything you’ve got. If you can make me retreat one step, I’ll treat the extra years I gave you as a free favor. You can leave anytime and don’t have to submit to me,” Ashton said, his tone calm and
