His body moved before he could even think. With a roar, Ashley threw a punch at him. The rage he had held back for so long finally exploded. He had endured everything when it came to himself. But calling Koi a mongrel—that was something he could never let slide.
He was going to smash that disgusting face in. Kill him. Kill him. Grinding his teeth, Ashley lunged at his father with everything he had.
The man looked like he smiled, just briefly.
“...Ugh!”
His punch sliced through nothing but air. His body staggered violently. Just by taking a half-step back, Dominique had effortlessly dodged the full-force blow. And before Ashley even realized it, he was already crashing to the floor.
Crash! The sound echoed in his ears. His entire body slammed against the marble floor, but he didn’t even feel the pain. Half-conscious, he struggled to get back up—
“......!”
A sudden kick slammed into his face, sending him rolling again without even a chance to cry out. Before Ashley could rise, Dominique stepped in and pressed a foot against his throat.
“Kh...!”
Ashley gasped painfully as his windpipe was crushed. The man’s towering figure looked monstrous from where he lay. Ashley clawed at the leg pressing down on his neck, but Dominique didn’t budge.
He only pressed harder. The weight on his throat grew unbearable, and darkness crept into Ashley’s vision. Still, his arms flailed in vain, and Dominique calmly looked down at him.
