Chapter 1024

Ashton could tell he had no hostility toward her, so she swiftly reasoned, “I’ve heard of your great reputation, and

I’ve been eager to find an opportunity to spar with you, but not under these circumstances! If you make a move

against me now, it would be an assault, a crime!”

Magnus knew Ashton’s intentions and immediately threatened, “Felix, think about your granddaughter!”

Felix sighed softly once again.

“Don’t move! If you do, I’ll shoot!” Ashton’s voice rang out. “Felix, think it through. You are the only top fighter on

Magnus’ side without a criminal record. If you surrender now and actively assist in our investigation, you can be

guaranteed innocence!”

The situation had spiraled beyond Magnus’ calculations, stripping him of his usual grace. He issued a dark and cold

admonition. “Felix, betray me now, and your granddaughter loses all prospects, maybe even her life!”

Ashton also refused to back down as she persisted, “Felix, you must believe that there is justice in this world!

Cooperate with our investigation, and we, the police, will safeguard your family! But if you make the wrong choice,

you will be seen as a criminal in your granddaughter’s eyes and become a stain on her life! Think it through!”

Felix grappled with his emotions, torn between Ashton and Magnus. He was in agonizing pain.

At this critical juncture, three more police officers approached with guns, surrounding him and Magnus in a semi-

circle.

“Alright, I surrender! I’ll help the police with the investigation!”

In the end, Felix raised his hands.

Even though Magnus felt a surge of anger, he didn’t see it as a personal defeat or think his eloquence had been lost

to Ashton. In his mind, he knew he had lost to the kindness residing within Felix. People who had never stained their

hands with blood or committed crimes made it difficult for demons to corrupt their souls.

With a quick acceptance of his fate, Magnus smiled toward Ashton, who cautiously approached him. “Ashton,

you’ve truly grown up. You’re no longer that little girl Maxwell used to toy with.”

Ashton immediately bit her lip and shouted, “Mr. Magnus, you’ve let me down! I believed someone as brilliant as

you would have better means to obtain the Heart of the Sun, not blatantly killing and smuggling!” She was clearly

privy to some of the Zelinsky family’s secrets.

Magnus adjusted his glasses, his smile softening. “But this is the best way. It gets us the Sun’s Heart and avenges

my Princess Claudette, right?”

Ashton found his smile less appealing than before, and her perception of him and Emmanuel had noticeably

changed. When she first dealt with the Claudette incident, she firmly believed that Emmanuel was the murderer.

However, her understanding of the truth gradually evolved through the course of events. Ashton no longer believed

that Emmanuel was responsible for Claudette’s death.

So, she brushed off Magnus’ words, opting for a gentle plea. “Mr. Magnus, cut it out!”

“Cut it out?” Magnus chuckled. “Ashton, don’t you understand my predicament? Giving up the Heart of the Sun is

like giving up the heir’s position. I would become a discarded child treated worse than a dog. I’ll have no future, not

even a glimmer of hope, and my life’s on the line!”

Of course, Ashton was aware of the stakes, so she sighed softly.

“Ashton, don’t you hate Maxwell very much?” Magnus unexpectedly appealed to her. “Then, you should help me

seize the Heart of the Sun! Once I become the heir, I’ll help you wallop him hard, making him wish he were dead!”

A flicker of emotion crossed Ashton’s face. Her disdain for Maxwell Zelinsky was profound, and the mere thought of

him triggered her nightmares. She wanted to see that sc*mbag get what he deserved, but sadly, she couldn’t!

“Miss Ashton, please don’t make a mistake!” Right then, a colleague couldn’t help but remind her. Ashton then

snapped out of her daydream, only to be met with the chilling sound of gunfire in the next instant.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Magnus fired three shots, each hitting all her colleagues’ vital spots with deadly precision, killing them instantly!

“You b*stard-” Ashton immediately pointed her gun at his head.

However, before she could squeeze the trigger, Magnus intercepted with a swift slap, knocking the gun out of her

grasp.

A sense of shock enveloped Ashton. Despite knowing the Zelinsky family was a martial arts clan,

“You b*stard-” Ashton immediately pointed her gun at his head.

However, before she could squeeze the trigger, Magnus intercepted with a swift slap, knocking the gun out of her

grasp.

A sense of shock enveloped Ashton. Despite knowing the Zelinsky family was a martial arts clan, Magnus’ refined

appearance and demeanor led her to perceive him as a weak scholar, much like others. Although having her gun

knocked away was due to her lapse in attention, this man’s martial arts skills might not be inferior to hers!

“Ashton, I beg you. Can you help me?” Magnus unexpectedly bowed and pleaded with her sincerely.

Even Felix, who had just been handcuffed on the side, couldn’t help but be amazed. What kind of demon was

Magnus? He killed without blinking, yet how did he maintain such a sincere and transparent gaze?

Ashton, too, grappled with a deep-seated fear.

Two diverging paths now stood before her psyche. Still, she staunchly rejected Magnus, saying with unwavering

resolve, “Magnus, give up! Even if you were to end me, I would never forsake the principles that define my

humanity. I will always stand on the side of justice!”

“Ridiculous!” Magnus sneered at Ashton’s words, retorting earnestly, “Don’t righteousness in this world? Your

thoughts are too naïve and childish. No wonder Maxwell could

know power you know manipulate you!”

The words struck a chord within Ashton, making her tremble uncontrollably.

Magnus extended his arms, his smile once again gentle, as he uttered, “Ashton, come! Join me, and I’ll help you

seek revenge. I’ll make Maxwell kneel before you in repentance. I will also grant you more- everything your heart

desires!”
