“Because he is a hero.”
Upon hearing the response, Angelina deeply looked into her daughter’s eyes.
“Really… Just for that reason?”
Ashley’s face blushed instantly. She exclaimed, “Mom, hurry up and save him, please!“
After saying that, she fled the room to avoid any further questions.
No one knew that when she was answering just now, Ashley secretly murmured in her heart, ‘Because he is my hero.
Outside the door, Barnaby anxiously sat on the steps,
When he saw Ashley come out, he immediately approached her. “Ashley, is Xavier… okay?”
Ashley smiled slightly. She said. “My mother is here. As long as she helps him, he will definitely be fine.”
Upon hearing that, Barnaby felt a bit relieved. The tension in his nerves slowly eased.
Ashley’s mother came from the Gray clan. They were renowned for their medical skills.
Although their status couldn’t compare to the Eight Clans of Starhaven, they were still a powerful force with a significant reputation.
It looked like Xavier had a chance of being saved.
Thank you, Ashley,” Barnaby smiled.
“You’re welcome.” Ashley said. “Oh, by the way, Barnaby. There’s something. I want to ask you about.”
“You can ask.”
“Does Xavier… have a girlfriend?”
After asking. Ashley turned her head away. She felt too shy to look into Barnaby’s eyes.
Barnaby scrutinized Ashley from head to toe.
It was an undeniable fact that Ashley was a stunning beauty.
Moreover, she was a female Warrior.
She was not only skilled physically, but she was also very intelligent.
Upon seeing Ashley’s shy appearance, Barnaby suddenly realized what was going on. He smiled with a knowing expression. “Yes, Xavier is already attached.”
Ashley’s body jolted slightly. A sense of disappointment flashed in her.
“So, he is already attached.”
After a pause, she suppressed the emotions in her heart. Ashley asked calmly, “Being his woman must be a very happy thing, right?”
After saying that, her eyes showed a trace of longing.
Seeing that, Barnaby turned his head and sighed. “Well, although you saved Xavier, you don’t have a chance now.”
In the sunny bedroom,
He was only covered by a thick towel in his private areas.
There were injuries everywhere on his bronze body. Some of them were so deep one could see his bones. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Angelina took out silver needles and used a special healing technique.
Soon, 108 silver needles were pierced into Xavier’s body from head to toe.
Angelina let out a soft exclamation as she stopped the healing process. She wiped the sweat from her face with a towel and stood in front of the bed, quietly observing the changes in Xavier’s body.
Angelina had to admit that the man in front of her had a handsome face.
His body was muscular, and his unique masculinity was faintly discernible.
Women with a little lack of self-control would easily be fascinated by him.
“You brat, you do indeed have some capital to be proud of. No wonder Ashley likes you. But the Cavanaugh family’s men are all unfaithful.”
Cursing silently, Angelina’s thoughts returned to the past.
She didn’t notice that Xavier’s tightly closed eyes opened suddenly for a moment.
A dazzling light flashed and disappeared.
“Robert, your grandson has caused big trouble, yet you are still in the mood to play chess.”
In the courtyard of the Cavanaugh family’s residence, Andrew roared as he stared furiously at Robert Cavanaugh
“When the problem comes, there will always be solutions to deal with it, Robert replied quietly.
He did not even look up from the chessboard as he continued to play on his own.
Seeing this scene, Andrew felt so infuriated that he almost went crazy.
“He is your fucking grandson. You don’t know what will happen to your own grandson. If he will live or die. As hist grandfather, aren’t you worried at all?”
Andrew lost his temper entirely.
Seeing that, Ronald hurriedly made eye contact with Andrew and signaled to him to rein it in.
Ronald asked tentatively, “Robert, among the three of us, you are the smartest. This time, the Berg, Anderson, Lander, and Nash clans are prepared and have it out for us. The situation in Starhaven is probably going to change.
After hearing that, Robert put down the chess piece in his hand and raised his head arrogantly. He asked, “Didn’t they cause a commotion 20 years ago? So what? Do you still remember what happened in the end?
Ronald exchanged a look with Andrew and said, “Twenty years ago, the father of your grandson was still around. He could suppress the four clans alone. But now Xavier has not reached his father’s capability yet
After Ronald finished speaking, Andrew continued. “That’s right. I heard that in recent years, those four clans have produced quite a few talents. It won’t be long before they make a move on us.”
Unexpectedly, Robert laughed heartily. “I’ve been playing chess for 20 years, waiting for them to make a move.”
Ronald was stunned.

Andrew was similarly dumbfounded.
“Now, the Cavanaugh, Wright, and Hernandez clans are in a disadvantageous situation. How do we fight the other four clans?” they asked.
Seemingly aware of the confusion in the minds of the two, Robert explained, “For thousands of years, the Oboutor Center saved the country in troubled times, and in prosperous times, the lquxir Center enjoyed prosperity. It’s time to change this situation.
“Targeting my grandson is just the beginning Forcing the Cavanaugh, Wright, and Hernandez clans to take action is the real intention of the Iquxir Center. They want to ensure that our three clans can never rise and replace the Oboutor Center with themselves. That’s their ultimate goal.”
Ronald and Andrew exchanged glances and nodded after listening.
They both understood the reasoning, but how to break the deadlock was the most important.
There were 12 legions in Avaloria. The Oboutor Center controlled four legions while the Iqaxir Center held command of eight legions.
Once a conflict occurred, no matter how one looked at it, the Oboutor Center would be at a disadvantage.
At this point, Robert pushed the chessboard toward Ronald and Andrew.
Both of them took a look at the chessboard. The black pieces had surrounded the white pieces and appeared to be on the verge of victory.
“Since they’ve made a move against my grandson, this deadlock will be also broken by my grandson, Xavier, Robert said resolutely,
With that, he made a move with one of the white pieces.
Instantly, with a move that none of them could foresee, Robert managed to take the black king with his white piece.
The remaining white pieces formed the letter “C” on the chessboard.
Half an hour later, when Robert finished explaining the specific plan, the dark clouds of worry shrouding Ronald and Andrew’s hearts dissipated significantly,
“As the saying goes, don’t ever underestimate the old! Andrew exclaimed, “You damn bastard, you even plotted against your own grandson. How ruthless
After Andrew spoke, the wrinkles on his face trembled.
Ronald sat on the side, smoking a cigarette silently. An undiscernible gleam flickered in his eyes.
‘How sneaky. This Robert is really sneaky, he thought
As the Cavanaugh, Wright, and Hernandez clans were discussing their next step, a similar meeting was going on at the lquxir
Center command center.
The representatives from the Berg, Anderson, Lander, and Nash clans were all present and sitting in the room.
*Gentlemen, the plan has been very successful. Robert’s grandson, Xavier, killed a Warlord of the Berg clan on the battlefield. He should be punished for this crime, Leonard Berg, the highest decision-maker
of the Berg clan, said slowly.
“Then what are we waiting for?” Benjamin Lander, the highest decision-maker of the Lander clan, asked in a cold tone. “Seny out the lquxir guards to capture Xavier and bring him back to the Iquxir Center for trial.”
“The Iquxir Center cannot be insulted, and the reputation of the four clans must be upheld. This time, we must completely overturn the dominance of the three clans of the Oboutor Center,” Harvey Anderson, the highest decision-maker of the Anderson clan, said in a deep voice after a moment’s silence.
