Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 1062

Chapter 1062

The martial arts expert exploded with rage. Veins bulged across his face as he clenched his fist. He moved like a released arrowN, charging straight at Ashton with a punch aimed at his head.

He was a transcendent realm expert. To him, taking down Ashton should have been effortless:

But before the punch could connect, a terrifying force slammed into his body. The impact nearly ruptured his internal organs, and his eyes widened in horror as pain twisted his face:

Blood sprayed from his mouth as he was thrown backward. He slammed heavily onto the ground and let out a miserable scream.

The surrounding crowd hurriedly retreated, staring at Ashton in shock. None of them had expected him to possess such strength.

“Young man, you should leave now. That man is Hugo Wallace, one of Mr. Kieran Marlowe’s merr in Lavora’s criminal underworld. If you cross Mr. Marlowe, you won’t be able to get by anywhere in Lavora. There’s still time, so hurry up and leave the city.”

Someone nearby tried to warn him out of kindness.

“Exactly. Mr. Marlowe is a divine realm expert. There’s no way you can fight him. Besides, there are even stronger people backing him. They control Lavora’s entire criminal underworld and also have connections to the governor. They’ve always acted without restraint. Don’t drag yourself into this mess.”

“If you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late…”

Ashton listened quietly, his gaze darkening slightly. He had no intention of leaving. Instead, he planned to use Hugo to track down the people controlling Lavora’s criminal underworld and take the first step toward bringing the city under his control.

He steadied himself and looked at the terrified woman.

“Your daughter looks somewhat similar to mine. Looks like we were meant to cross paths. I’ll help you find her,” he said.

The beautiful woman raised her eyes and looked into his deep, unreadable gaze. For some reason, she felt a little calmer, though she still asked nervously, “You really can help me?”

“You wanted to rely on this guy’s status and background to find your daughter, right? I think you already understand deep down that even if you really slept with him, he still wouldn’t wholeheartedly help you search for her. But if you threaten him with his life, then he’ll do everything in his power.”

Ashton looked at her and smiled faintly.

“Your daughter’s name is Lily?”

“Yes,” she replied with a nod.

“How long has she been missing? How did she get lost?”

“It’s been almost two days now. I don’t even know how it happened. I went to pick her up from school, and the moment I looked away, she was gone.”

Tears filled the beautiful woman’s eyes. She looked overwhelmed with guilt and helplessness.

“Actually, it’s not just my daughter. From what I know, a lot of other people’s daughters have gone missing, too. But somehow, the whole thing got swept under the rug…”

Ashton’s eyes narrowed slightly. He immediately sensed that something was off.

If multiple children had gone missing and the whole matter had been suppressed, then this was far more serious than it looked Someone was definitely behind this.

“Oh no! Mr. Marlowe is here.”

A startled shout suddenly rang vill.

At the same time, Hugo struggled back to his feet. Veins bulged across his face as he snarled viciously, “Brat, you’re screwed. How dare you lay a hand on me? I’m going to tear you apart. You think you can steal my woman? I’ll make sure you die without a burial place.”

“What a nuisance.” Ashton glanced at him coldly and slapped him across the face.

Blood sprayed out as Hugo let out another miserable scream. His body flew sideways, and more than half the bones in his body broke from the blow.
