Chapter 43
Appalled, Ashton dropped to the ground with a thud.He had chucked his paper fan to the ground as
well, no longer the haughty man he was a few seconds ago.It wasn’t like he’d continue causing trouble
in the face of the Northern Draken Tag!The tables had turned, and Ashton was now on all fours,
kneeling like a tortoise right there and then.“W-What’s going on?!” The crowd became
apprehensive.Ashton was the Sris Province’s notorious underworld lord, and those who shared the
same power and reputation were only Boss Jarett and the Seven Legends.However, never had they
expected Ashton, who was alsomonly known as the Reaper, to kneel to this twenty-year-old
man!In particr, Paige was shaken to the core.The average citizen might not know the Northern
Draken Tag, but she did.It was her family’s crown jewel and the reason why her family was able to
remain standing in the north!She then recalled how her father, Uncle Gavin, and Aunt Chermaine
treated Kingsley with enthusiasm and hints of servile.No doubt it had something to do with the Northern
Draken Tag.However, she was so livid back then that it didn’t dawn on her until now.At that, she felt
even more shocked that her stern grandfather had given this young man the tag, for it was the ultimate
grace and recognition!At this point, her gaze at Kingsley had turnedplicated.Meanwhile, Kingsley
sauntered to Ashton and shoved the Northern Draken Tag at his face. “Take a good look!”“I’m looking,
I’m looking…”This was Ashton’s first time seeing the Northern Draken Tag for himself, and he thought
he was going to sh*t his pants. At that point, he was already drenched in cold sweat, thinking if he
should beg Kingsley for mercy.Caleb, on the other hand, was livid when he saw Ashton’s actions.He
had expected the man to stick up for him, but who’d have thought he’d immediately kneel when
Kingsley pulled out this wooden thing?!F*cking hell…Meanwhile, Peter’s expression looked even
worse. “Ashton, did you even look closely? Could it be a fake?”Though he wasn’t a part of the
underworld, he often hung out with people like Ashton. Thus, he had heard a thing or two about this
Northern Draken Tag.Ashton froze upon hearing Peter’s words.He had freaked out the moment he saw
the words ‘Nothern Draken’ that he never even stopped to verify its authenticity.“I-It can’t be, can
it?”Ashton’s expression changed multifold within that moment.He had never heard of a fake Northern
Draken Tag in all his years in the underworld.What was more, who would have the balls to create a
fake?!“Ashton, do you see the Volkswagen Santana there? That’s the b*stard’s ride! As if someone like
him can really pull out the Northern Draken Tag!”Ashton’s facial muscles twitched in response.That
ancient Volkswagen Santana got him wanting to flip.F*ck! Have I really been fooled?“What’s your
name?” he asked through gnashed teeth.“Nicholson.” Kingsley knew Ashton was trying to find out if he
was a Tanner.“You f*cking piece of sh*t!” Ashton shot right up to his feet at the revtion and
thundered, livid with rage, “How dare you f*cking lie to me using a fake?! I’m going to kill you!”He was
truly and utterly pissed right now.He, the Reaper of Sris Province, had been duped by a callow and
even kneeled before him in front of so many people!His dignity had been severely damaged!At that,
Ashton cracked his knuckles with a face enveloped in malice. “Just you wait, you motherf*cker. My men
will tear you into pieces!”His forces were spread all across Sris Province. With one call, hisckeys
nearby would instantly rush over.However, Kingsley wasn’t bothered at all, still looking collected.He
was ever-victorious in the face of the enemies’ elites and artilleries, so why should he be afraid of a
bunch of scoundrels?Just then, a crisp voice came from within the crowd. “I’ll prove the authenticity of
this Northern Draken Tag!”The one who spoke up was none other than Paige, who had been watching
among the crowd.Though she loathed Kingsley’s ‘rascality’, she would not allow anyone to nder her
family’s Northern Draken Tag!“And who the f*ck—” cursed Ashton as he looked in the direction of the
voice to find a young woman in a ck leather jacket, and his gaze instantly turned into a leering
one.“My, aren’t you gorgeous.” He licked his lips and grinned.The leather jacket fit snuggly on Paige’s
shapely body, and though she didn’t show an inch of skin, it made her very alluring.Ashton couldn’t
take his eyes off her at all, for he had never seen a woman who couldbine adorable and sexy so
perfectly.“How dare you act presumptuously in front of the Northern Draken Tag?!” Paige chided, her
adorable face covered in frost.However, Ashton continued the size Paige up, leering. “The great
Northern Draken Tag isn’t something a little girl like you can identify, babe.”“Where are you looking at?!”
Malice filled Paige’s eyes when she saw Ashton’sscivious gaze on her.“Chill, babe. I’ll let you do
whatever you want with me after I’m done dealing with this b*stard. Hehehe…” Ashton’s smile was
super creepy.“You asked for it!” Paige scowled and pulled her Serpent Whip out from her waist and
whipped it hard on the floor, producing a loud pow!“You insolent scoundrel, I will punish you in the
name of justice!”The crowd was astonished how Paige pulled a snakeskin whip out from her waist like
magic.“Why does she carry a whip on hand?”“Who knows? Maybe it’s her kink…”At that, the crowd
smiled with hints of obscenity.However, Ashton dared not pull even a sliver of a smile, and his calves
were cramping from fright.Everyone in the underworld knew the second youngdy of the Tanner
Family held a seven-section Serpent Whip, and it spared its victim no mercy!As dumb as Ashton was,
he knew he was in deep sh*t when the Serpent Whip and the Northern Draken Tag appeared at the
same time.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
