Chapter 323
Chapter 323:
What had started as a game of darts had escalated into a sinister game of manipulation; Ashton and Liam were clearly enjoying his fear.
The more Hamza recalled Ashton’s earlier feat—effortlessly snapping a weighted dart—the more his terror grew, a cold sweat breaking out on his brow.
He imagined the deadly trajectory of that dart piercing his throat or heart, an image so gruesome it made him shudder.
And what if Ashton’s aim had been elsewhere? The thought of being maimed for life by a dart was a fate too horrifying to bear.
The mere thought sent a fresh wave of agony through Hamza’s lower body. With the entire casino under the Black Dragon Gang’s iron grip, he grasped the bleak reality of his inescapable predicament.
As Liam advanced with deliberate menace, Hamza’s psychological defenses shattered completely. He trembled uncontrollably, his voice breaking as he pleaded desperately,
“Please, don’t do this! Our leader, Jax Adams, is in the factory director’s office in the middle building!”
Armed with this vital information, Ashton wasted no time on Hamza. He and Liam swiftly made their way toward the director’s office, their resolve unshaken.
Inside the office, Jax, leader of the Lion Clan, frantically stuffed his belongings into a suitcase, his escape plan unraveling before his eyes.
Before he could finish, Ashton stormed in, kicking the door open with a decisive crash.
The outcome was exactly as Ashton had expected, lacking any real surprise.
Jax revealed that the Marquez family had carefully orchestrated a scheme to lend money to Emalee’s family, only to use any pretext to torment them.

Had Ashton not intervened, the Marquez family planned to send more Lion Clan members to cause chaos at the hospital. They also intended to deploy their own agents to secretly align with the Lion Clan, all to draw Ashton out into the open.
Upon learning of the Marquez family’s machinations from Jax, Ashton turned to Liam, who was firmly restraining Jax, and asked with keen interest,
“Liam, how eager is the Black Dragon Gang for action? Can you dismantle the Lion Clan within a single day and take over their resources?”
Liam’s grin widened with enthusiasm as he replied, “If that’s your command, we’ll do everything we can to make it happen!”
In truth, the Lion Clan had always been a formidable adversary for the Black Dragon Gang. Yet fate had cruelly brought them into Ashton’s path—a grave mistake on their part.
Under Ashton’s decisive command, the Lion Clan suffered catastrophic losses, with most of their remaining forces now firmly under his control.
And their leader was also under Liam’s control now.
The challenge of assimilating the Lion Clan had become little more than a formality for Liam, as simple as picking up a takeout order. Ashton nodded with satisfaction, a knowing smile curling at the corners of his lips.
