Chapter 380
Chapter 380:
Abrial was taken aback momentarily, yet she didn’t succumb to panic like many would expect. Instead, she exhaled sharply in frustration.
“Davis, you’ve been with my family for a long time. I was ready to overlook today’s events for the sake of old times, but you’ve escalated things too far. Aren’t you worried about how the Carter family might respond?” she challenged.
At this point, with tensions so high, Davis was beyond caring about the consequences.
He roared in response, “Enough! Get your family to hand over ten million in cash immediately, and secure a flight for me. If not, you’re not walking out of here unscathed today!”
Just as Abrial was about to retort, Ashton, always composed, noticed a weak spot in Davis’ stance.
Seizing the moment Davis got distracted by Abrial, Ashton kicked a nearby chair toward him.
The chair, propelled unexpectedly, struck Davis at a sore spot from Ashton’s earlier assault, eliciting a sharp yelp of pain from him.
Davis stumbled, and the dagger he held to Abrial’s throat wavered slightly.
In such a tense moment, when opportunities were rare, Ashton didn’t hesitate. He lunged at Davis with renewed vigor.
Simultaneously, Abrial, ever alert, took advantage of Davis’ loosened grip to stomp hard on his foot.
Davis howled in pain as the sudden blow struck him. Abrial quickly shoved his hand away and rolled clear of further danger. In her rush, she collided with Ashton, who had sprinted toward the chaos, and she found herself wrapped in his arms. Ashton, taken aback by the unexpected embrace, slowed his pace to shield Abrial from harm.
Meanwhile, having lost his leverage with Abrial gone and overwhelmed by pain and panic, Davis desperately tried to grab another person nearby.

However, Ashton was quicker.
He swiftly moved Abrial to safety and then leaped, disarming Davis by kicking the dagger from his grasp.
Ashton’s next move was a swift roundhouse kick that sent Davis tumbling to the floor.
The sequence of Ashton’s actions was seamless, displaying a level of skill Davis couldn’t hope to match.
Despite Davis’ wild thrashing, Ashton pinned him to the floor effortlessly, his mastery evident in the smooth subdual.
Despite its modest scale, the event attracted an elite crowd of wealthy businessmen and heirs of influential families, so the security system was robust. Unexpectedly, Davis, a trusted subordinate of Abrial, lost control and caused a scene.
The police responded quickly, detaining Davis and his cohorts.
After a brief interaction with the police, a somewhat subdued Abrial turned to Ashton.
