Chapter 42


    Peter thought his chest felt so excruciatingly painful that it might explode any second.Meanwhile, the


    crowd gasped when they saw how badly Peter was injured.They assumed this loser had a death wish


    for daring toy a finger on someone from the Lawson family.Peter’s face was ashen, and he held his


    chest while cursing through gnashed teeth, “How dare you kick me… you b*stard… You’re dead


    meat…”Meanwhile, Caleb had been reeling for a long time before he finally came around. He then


    dashed toward Peter, squatting down as he asked, “Peter, are you alright?!”Peter coughed painfully.


    “F*ck, how is that b*stard so strong…”“It’s precisely because he can fight and strikes hard that I asked


    for your help!” Caleb fretted. “Haven’t you contacted Mr. Birch?! Why hasn’t he shown up?!”“He’ll be


    here soon…” Peter hissed through gnashed teeth. “When hees, I want this b*stard dead!”Just


    then, a ck Hummer pulled over, and a man in a ck shirt who appeared to be around thirty-five


    years old came out of the vehicle. He was holding a hand fan with the word ‘Reaper’ written on it.The


    man was none other than Ashton Birch, Sris Province’s notorious underworld lord.Along with the


    Seven Legends, he was the underworld’s most powerful existence, second only to Boss Jarett.When


    he saw the crowd in front, he went over with a frown.After pushing the spectators away, he instantly


    found Peter on the ground.“Peter! What happened to you?!”Peter had asked him toe and stick up


    for Young Master Caleb, but who’d have thought this was the first thing he saw after arriving?!A


    glimmer of light shed across Peter when he saw that Ashton had arrived.With that, he struggled to sit


    up, but the pain was so unbearable that he grimaced and winced. “Ashton, you’re finally here!”“What


    happened, Peter? Who did this to you?”Ashton had always been an affiliate of the Lawsons.The


    Lawsons provided him financial support, and in turn, he settled their nuisance for them.Lately, he heard


    the Lawsons had associated themselves with Coliree Group. Thus, he became even more responsive


    to the family.Peter pointed to Kingsley, saying, “It was him! He booted me!”Following that, blood trickled


    down the corner of his lips, and he began gasping for air.With that, Ashton stood straight up and looked


    toward Kingsley viciously. “Are you the b*stard who hurt my brother over here?!”When the crowd heard


    the name ‘Ashton Birch’, they hurriedly stepped back.He was one of Sris Province’s notoriousText ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    underworld lords, and hisckeys were all cold-bloodedwbreakers! No one would dare to mess with


    him. However, Kingsley couldn’t care less if he was a lord of the underworld or the king of an empire,


    for he would have to cower before Ares, the God of War!Meanwhile, Caleb turned to Ashton and


    affirmed, “Yes! It’s him! Mr. Birch, he’s the one who wreaked havoc during my father’s birthday banquet


    and even injured Peter! You have to show him who’s the boss!”In response, Ashton narrowed his eyes


    and snarled, “Don’t you know that there are some people you can’t afford to mess with?!”“Well, it just


    so happens that I’ve never met anyone I can’t afford to.” Kingsley stood with his hands behind his back,


    looking collected. “If you don’t want to end up like Lawson, I suggest you mind your own business.”The


    crowd was rendered dumbfounded!Is this dude mad, dumb, or both?! How dare he talk to Ashton like


    that?! He has a death wish, doesn’t he?!“Hahaha!” Ashton was so livid that he actually burst into


    laughter. “You think you’ve got f*cking balls, eh? First, you injure Peter, and now you’re threatening


    me?”“Anything wrong with that?” Kingsley smirked. “I’ll have you know that there are some people you


    can’t afford to mess with—for instance, someone like me!”“You f*cking son of a b*tch!” Ashton


    thundered as he flipped his paper fan around, revealing the words ‘World Peace’.Horrorced the


    crowd’s eyes upon seeing the words, for the Reaper’s idea of ‘world peace’ meant zero mercy and


    pardon.With that, the crowd looked at Kingsley as though he was a man on the verge of this


    death.Instead of feeling bad for the man, they abhorred him for fear that they would be dragged into it


    as well.Lo and behold, Kingsley sneered disdainfully and said, “Decent handwriting. I wouldn’t call it a


    work of art, though.”“You!” Ashton was livid with anger, for no one had ever dared disregard his


    supremacy before this.“I have hundreds of mobsters in mymand. As soon as I give the word, there


    will be nothing of you left!” While speaking, he pulled his phone out to call his men over.“Mobsters?”


    Kingsley quirked a brow while pulling the Northern Draken Tag out of his pocket, saying inly, “I


    happened to have just gotten a treasure. I heard it’s specifically used to govern mobsters like


    you.”Ashton looked up reflexively and happened tond his gaze on the Northern Draken Tag, causing


    his hand to jerk and the phone to drop to the ground.“T-The Northern Draken Tag?!” He was so shaken


    that even his pupils trembled. “H-How d-did you g-get the Northern Draken Tag?!”“That’s for me to


    know and you to find out! I’ll only ask you once—do you adhere to this tag?!”
