Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169

Felix’s footsteps faltered, and his expression shifted. He couldn’t avoid it after all.

“Hand over the Primordium Pill. We signed an agreement, remember? I’m sure the vanguards don’t go back on their word, right?” Lawrence remarked.

“But of course, it doesn’t matter if you intend to go back on the agreement. If you refuse to hand over the Primordium Pill, I’ll just kill all of you, and the pill will be mine anyway.‘

Smiling, he extended his hand toward Felix.

“The Dominion Vanguard won’t forget this grudge!”

Felix drew a deep breath. With a flick of his hand, he hurled the Primordium Pill, which was brimming with powerful spiritual energy, toward Lawrence, his chest tightening with pain.

The Primordium Pill was an indisputable, priceless treasure. This trip ended up being a total loss for them, and who knew what else would happen after this?

Now that Lawrence had the Primordium Pill, he didn’t stop Felix and Clay from leaving. He broke into a satisfied grin, the results of the fight pleasing him greatly.

Lawrence laughed, saying happily, “Come over here, Ashton. You’ve avenged the Legion today!”

Ashton approached Lawrence and checked his pulse before saying solemnly, “You should really follow your doctor’s instructions, Mr. Clarkson Senior! Don’t use your inner energy. Right now, your energy flow is unstable, and your wounds are acting up again. If it worsens, you’d be saying your final goodbyes soon enough!”

Rubbing his nose awkwardly, Lawrence replied, “Yes, yes, I got it. From now on, I’ll just sit still and do nothing. I must live a grand, long life, of course–hopefully long enough to witness the Legion’s return to glory!”

“I’m sure you will, Grandpa!”

Kayla felt a lot more relaxed, too. Now that she looked at Ashton again, she no longer felt any dissatisfaction. On the contrary, she was filled with a deep sense of gratitude and admiration.

The way Ashton completely crushed Clay in the fight earlier had totally changed her impression of him. Everything about him used to annoy her, but now, the more she looked at him, the more appealing he seemed.

“Come with me, Ashton,” Lawrence said, holding the Primordium Pill.

Nodding, he wheeled Lawrence into a secret chamber.

“This is the Primordium Pill, a genuine treasure. Take it. It can help you break through the limits of the transcendent realm, allowing you to reach the divine realm even more quickly!”

Lawrence’s eyes gleamed as he continued, “Only by stepping into the divine realm can you truly be considered a worthwhile martial arts expert and legitimately take on the role of the deputy head of the Legion.

“Until you reach the divine realm, try not to reveal your position as the deputy. Otherwise, you might attract countless attempts to kill you.”

The divine realm?

Ashton’s eyes sparkled with reverence.

Although he had already reached the peak of the transcendent realm, it would still take him quite some time before he could break into the divine realm. It required an unthinkable amount of spiritual energy to do so, and it would only succeed under the right circumstances!

At his current pace, it would still take him years before he could even touch the threshold of the divine realm.

“The Primordium Pill is filled with spiritual energy, Mr. Clarkson Senior. You should take it instead. It’ll greatly help in your recovery,” Ashton said earnestly.

Chuckling, Lawrence replied, “Why should I take it when I’m already knocking on death’s door? Besides, there’s a limit to how much it can help you.

“As for you, you’re of the Drakeborne lineage. As long as you fully refine the spiritual energy within the pill and absorb it into your body, it will bolster your cultivation tremendously and shorten the time you need to reach the divine realm by at least a year!”

Ashton was still a little hesitant.

“Come now. Don’t be so courteous with me, Ashton! You won this Primordium Pill fair and square! You have to get stronger for the Legion to grow stronger, too!” Lawrence urged.
