Chapter 899 Blake and Magnus Has Left Yeringham

For her, that tattoo used to be a symbol of love, but now it was nothing but an insult.

At the age of eighteen, she experienced her first crush when she met a man six years her senior.

He came from a prestigious family, part of a rare and traditional martial arts clan. He had been training

in martial arts from a young age and was hailed as a once–in–a–generation genius. Ashton had once

challenged him, but her formidable combat skills, which had left many men reeling in pain, were

rendered feeble before him.

He conquered her heart with his incredible prowess. Ashton fell deeply in love with him and claimed

she would do anything for him.

He asked her to get a tattoo, and he even had her sneak into a place to help him with some tasks.

Those tasks came with significant risks, but at the time, Ashton was willing, believing that he also loved

her and that they would get married. However, when she finished the tasks and heard the news of his

engagement to a wealthy heiress, Ashton was shocked and heartbroken.

Ashton, feeling like her world had shattered, confronted him, but all she received was a simple “thank

you.” She realized that she had encountered what was often described as a ‘sc*mbag.‘

He didn’t fit the typical portrayal of a villain in novels or TV dramas with a sinister face. Instead, he had

the face of a protagonist and the abilities of one, yet he was a scoundrel.

After that experience, Ashton had no intention of pursuing romantic relationships. She became more

hostile toward evildoers and even more determined to fight crime. If she came across sc*mbags, she

was not averse to giving them a good beating.

Thinking of the sc*mbag reminded her of Blake, the suspect. After investigating him, she found that he

was undoubtedly a top–tier sc*mbag, constantly involved in either playing with women or on his way to

playing with them.

She really wanted to apprehend him at all costs but realized that she couldn’t do it alone. The man’s

abilities surpassed even Sage’s, let alone her own.

Just then, her phone rang.

“Hello, Captain!” Ashton answered the call eagerly. “I’ve already brought Xylie Tanner back to

Yeringham. This time, I didn’t fail in my mission!”

Having been unable to solve three consecutive cases, Ashton had been under tremendous pressure.

Now, with at least one success, she felt a considerable relief.

“Good job,” Sage praised her and then turned serious. “However, I have some bad news for you. Blake

Dotson is now with Magnús Zelinsky and has left Yeringham. Capturing him just became more

challenging.”

“What?” Ashton’s anxiety escalated. With this development, it seemed she might not solve any of the

three cases she was handling!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Blake was driving his old Corolla with Magnus, heading toward

an ancient town near Yeringham.

“Magnus, why are you leaving Yeringham at this hour? Weren’t you supposed to watch the big show

we arranged to the end?” Blake asked, wearing a grin.

Magnus smiled and replied, “I did it all for you.”

Magnus smiled and replied, “I did it all for you.”

“For me?” Blake was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. “I’m deeply moved. Who

would’ve thought there’d be a man who cares about me so much? Tell me, Magnus, why is it all for

me?”

Putting away his phone and adjusting his glasses, Magnus said with a slight smirk, “The Quillen family

is about to fall, and when that happens, Emmanuel is sure to be furious. Who do you think he’ll blame?”

“He’ll blame you, of course. What does it have to do with me?!” Blake grinned, showing his discolored

teeth. “I just followed your orders to take out Sebastian Oatley, leading to the downfall of Terence

Group. You. orchestrated the entire scheme! He won’t come after me when you’re the mastermind.”

“Haha,” Magnus laughed. “Let me analyze it for you.“
