" Oh ? Tell me exactly what happened , " Cadence instructed . After giving a summary of the situation , Harrick added concernedly , " I'm worried that Ashton might cause trouble for the Gale Assembly , Mr. Suther . " " He's just an S - ranked expert . You don't need to care too much about him . I doubt he'd dare to cross the line ! " Cadence declared with confidence . " You're one of us , so the Gale Assembly will certainly protect you ! " " Thank you , Mr. Suther !

" Harrick's heart had only just settled back in place when , out of nowhere , a thunderous voice seemned to echo through the walls of the Gale Assembly headquarters . " Hand over the heads of Trent and Harrick Kramer ! If you don't , the Gale Assembly will cease to exist ! " These simple words rocked every member of the Gale Assembly to the core ! " Bad news , Mr. Suther ! A man by the name of Ashton Gray is outside , and he's barging his way in with Gene Larson from the Noir Bar ! " " What did you say ?

Despite having deduced that Ashton was no pushover , he didn't think Ashton would actually dare to charge right into the Gale Assembly headquarters ! Just how arrogant was he ! " It's been ages since someone dared to cause a scene right on our doorstep . How exciting ! " Cadence remarked . He slowly rose to his feet , his eyes glinting coldly as he strode off . " Come . Let's meet this Ashton . I'd like to see if he really has some kind of unparalleled strength for him to dare to kill someone in my territory !

" Meanwhile , howls rang out across the headquarters as Ashton and Gene sent all the members flying . Gene was giving his all , showing no signs of holding back as he launched his attacks . He knew that this was his way of pledging his allegiance to Ashton . If Ashton couldn't make it out of this place alive , he would be dying as well . Besides , even if he managed to escape with his life , the Gale Assembly would surely come after him . Even if nothing else happened , Noir Bar was certainly doomed .

" Really ? " Trent exclaimed in joy before glowering resentfully at Ashton . " Ashton Gray and Goober Larson , am I right ? How dare you cause trouble here at the Gale Assembly ? Are you prepared to die today ? " Cadence growled as he emitted a terrifying force . Gene felt the crushing force enveloping him . His expression stiffened , and his knees buckled from the overwhelming pressure that was beyond what he could bear .
