“Hehe, still thinking of this woman, Emmanuel Aora clutched Ashton’s neck, a sinister grin spreading across his face. “Break one of your legs, and I’ll let her go. How about that?”

“Emmanuel, don’t!” Though weak and barely holding on, Ashton clenched her teeth and shouted with all her strength. “Don’t bother with me! I’m nothing to you!”

“Ashton!” Nathan bit his lip at Ashton’s words, closing his eyes as tears threatened to fall. He had always thought that a woman’s allure lay in her figure and looks, but now he understood–the courage and loyalty within were what truly captivated a man.

Beatrix and the others had also reached the mountaintop just in time to witness the scene.

To be honest, Beatrix had never been particularly fond of Ashton, Yet, at that moment, she couldn’t help but admire the woman’s character–though her personality might not be the most pleasant, she was undeniably someone worthy of respect.

Emmanuel remained silent, his tiger–like eyes locked onto Aora, their depths unreadable.

“Hehe, Emmanuel, I’ll count to three. If you don’t follow my instructions, I’ll snap this woman’s neck!” Aora sneered, his voice thick with menace. “She must be important to both you and your disciple, right? If she dies, it’ll break your hearts.

“Coward!” Beatrix, having retreated behind Ethan and her sister, finally mustered the courage to point at Aora and scold him coldly. “If you want to kill my brother–in–law, then fight him fair and square! Using a woman as a hostage–what kind of man does that make you?*

“Yeah!” Nathan chimed in, using the same tactic to provoke Aora. “Let Ashton go if you’ve got the guts! My master can still crush you with one hand! Weren’t you acting all high and mighty before coming up here? Didn’t you

you were unbeatable? Come on, then!”

“Hehe…” Aora couldn’t care less about their insults or how others judged him. His only goal was to kill Emmanuel and avenge Teddy. Without hesitation, he began to count. “Three! Two-”

But before the final number left his lips, Emmanuel suddenly spun on his heel, his hands forming twin dragon claws.

Aora’s eyes widened as a fierce gust of wind swept around him, locking him in place.
