Chapter 542 "Sir, my parents were aware of these cards located down there, so we cto find them. All the staff down there are dead. They all possess this card. There are many of them," Ashton said again.
As he was a kid saying this, most people wouldn't doubt it. His words had a magical effect, triggering the greed and desire of those people.
The leader swore and hit the cover. "Fuck! No wonder they went down. Retrieve the remaining room cards for us. In return, I'll grant you permission to cup. Once you cup, we'll divide the cards equally among us." "That won't work. These diamond cards are ours. If you want a gold card, I'll give it to you," I continued speaking, building on Ashton's words.
"Damn it! You have so many diamond cards and you're only giving us gold cards? Are you treating us like beggars? Hand over the diamond cards quickly," demanded the people outside, their anxiety palpable.

"Don't cdown!" Eason ordered angrily. They would die if they cdown.
"Hand over the diamond cards." Several people jumped down from above, each wielding a knife.
I furrowed my brows, ready to inform that there wasn't a diamond card to begin with. However, my attention was quickly diverted as I noticed Ashton crouching beside me, flashingan innocent smile. " Mommy, crouch down." I was momentarily stunned and suddenly felt a chill down my back. I watched him snap his fingers at the aggressive dogs, and they swiftly charged in our direction. A few of us instinctively crouched down, and the dogs attacked those wielding the knives. The sound of screams filled the air.
"Get up quickly!" Those dogs never stopped once they started biting.
I climbed up and lifted Ashton, my gaze filled with determination. "Ashton! Do those dogs obey your commands? Instruct them to stop! Ashton Lincoln, resorting to violence is not the way to address issues!" Ashton looked atwith confusion in his eyes. He couldn't comprehend his mistake as no one had ever taught him that was wrong. In his perspective, in the law of the jungle, only the strongest survived.
"Listen..." I coaxed gently.
Fortunately, Ashton was easily coaxed and then whistled sharply downward. Despite their reluctance, the fierce dogs bared their teeth and retreated. The entire underground cabin was permeated with the scent of blood. Those who had been bitten were terrified, trembling, and covered in blood.
"Go up first." Eason headed up first, followed by Joel and Steven. Afterward, they guided the others up as well. We couldn't simply stand by and witness them being bitten to death.
"Lock this place. If those dogs cout, everyone will suffer." I searched and found a wire to tighten the bolt on the cover with all my strength.

"Ashton, Xandra, remember that you must respect life under any circumstances." I brought them closer and emphasized the preciousness of life. I stressed the importance of proper defense without going overboard.
After saying that, I was stunned for a moment. If I were alone, I would probably leave these people to fend for themselves. However, with the two children here, I was actually afraid that they would learn fromand go the wrong way. Speople believe that the parents' actions and words were the most powerful lessons for their children. I was worried that Ashton and Xandra would be like me.
They might struggle to fit into society, face exclusion and isolation, and be treated as outsiders ted as outsiders om Therefore, they needed to learn to adapt and integrate into society better than I did. They had to love and cherish life.
Once upon a time, I found it difficult to grasp the true value of life. While I could witness the passing of others with a detached demeanor, the thought of losing those dear towas unbearable. Ashburn > X
