Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107

Ashton wasn’t afraid of dying, but he would never allow anyone to hurt his family.

Upon noticing the agitation in Ashton’s reaction, Lawrence assured him, “You don’t have to worry too much. The Drake family is few in number, and they rarely appear in normal society. They mostly stay within their own territories.

“As long as you don’t expose your true Drakeborne lineage, it’s almost impossible for most people to pick up on it.:

“But once it’s discovered, it’s a death sentence for me. Is the Legion also unable to protect my family?” Ashton asked solemnly.

Lawrence sighed lamentably. “The Legion of yore might’ve been able to, but as you have seen for yourself, the Legion has fallen from grace.

“On the surface, it seems like we stand toe to toe with the Dominion Vanguard and the Empyrean Sentinel. In reality, however, we’re not too far from being disbanded altogether.”

Ashton looked at Lawrence. “So, you brought me here because you want me to join the Legion?”

After taking into account everything Lawrence had done so far, it wasn’t hard to determine what his motive was.

“That’s right!” Lawrence admitted it. “Truth be told… I don’t have much longer to live. If the Legion comes to an end under my watch, how am I supposed to face the deceased heads of the Legion in death?

“You, Ashton, are the one I’ve chosen to become the next head of the Legion!”

“What did you say? You want me to be the head of the Legion?”

Ashton’s eyes widened comically. He thought Lawrence only wanted to make him a legionnaire, at most, not the head of the Legion itself!

It was a position that came with significant power and authority! Surely Lawrence was giving him far too much credit.

“Here’s the Legion Sigil, Ashton,” Lawrence said warmly. “Take it. From tonight onward, you’re the third deputy head of the Legion.”

“Are you being serious, Mr. Clarkson Senior?”

Ashton stared at the Legion Sigil Lawrence had stuffed into his hands. It felt quite heavy.

“I’m a busy man, Ashton. I don’t have time for such jokes,” Lawrence said.

Then, patting Ashton on the shoulder, he added boastfully, “Once you become the deputy head of the Legion, you can use the Legion Sigil to command the Northern Troops!”

The Northern Troops? That was one of the four regional militaries of the nation!

Did this mean that the Legion Sigil he was currently holding gave him the power to command the Northern Troops? Wasn’t this joke going a bit too far?

After staring deeply into Lawrence’s bright eyes, Ashton was finally convinced that Lawrence wasn’t kidding.

But still, he had to wonder why Lawrence chose him.

“Even if the Legion has fallen from grace, Mr. Clarkson Senior, I don’t think it’s to the point where you have to make me the deputy head of the Legion,” Ashton said.

Smiling, Lawrence asked, “Remember what I told you about how I can acutely sense a person’s energy and life force? If I’m not mistaken, you’re already an SSS–ranked expert, and you’ve reached the transcendent realm. Am I correct?”

Ashton was completely floored. It was the first time someone managed to deduce his cultivation realm!

“I have faith that you will be the one who can revitalize the Legion, Ashton. I trust that you will one day achieve success that far exceeds that of all your predecessors. I believe that you will restore the Legion to its former glory!”

Lawrence gazed expectantly at Ashton, his expression earnest.

Nevertheless, Ashton remained doubtful. He kept getting the feeling that Lawrence had too much faith in him.

“Stop hesitating! Accept the role of deputy head of the Legion. The Legion Sigil belongs to you. You’re now the lord of the northern frontier. You even have the power to act first and answer to your actions later!”

Ashton remained silent in thought.

All of a sudden, Lawrence looked Ashton straight in the eye and said solemnly, “The head of the Legion rules over the northern frontier. Life and death both rest in his hands as he upholds justice and safeguards the nation. Are you, Ashton Gray, willing to bear this mantle?”
