Love At The Wrong Table

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.
