Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 272

“You have to get some proper rest, Grandpa! You are absolutely not allowed to use your inner energy again until your body is completely healed!” Kayla snapped, still thinking about how she had to give away her virginity to Ashton for Lawrence’s treatment.

“Why are you getting upset, Kayla?” Lawrence asked with a helpless look.

It wasn’t long before Lawrence instructed Christian and the others to leave the room, leaving only Ashton and Kayla by his side.

Lawrence’s expression turned solemn as he stated, “Your official appointment is finally here, Ash. You are formally the deputy head of the Legion. You now possess the authority to wield the Legion’s Sigil, oversee the Northern Troops, and command every member in the Legion.”

“W–What are you talking about, Grandpa? Did you really just appoint Ashton as the deputy leader of the Legion?” Kayla asked, her eyes widening in surprise.

She had just reminded herself earlier that her man had to be the future head of the Legion–and Ashton was suddenly a heartbeat away from that position.

“You’ll need to work with Ashton from now on, Kayla. It is important to keep his identity as the deputy head of the Legion hidden for now to avoid inviting endless trouble and to allow him to mature into the role. This isn’t the right moment to reveal this trump card,” Lawrence started gravely.

He knew that the situation was perilous for the Legion at the moment and that he was too frail to shield Ashton from all harm.

Kayla dared not meet Ashton’s gaze as she muttered, “Isn’t this decision a bit too rash, Grandpa? I was expecting the deputy head of the Legion to be someone else; I never expected it to be Ashton.

“I know he is quite capable, but I doubt he will be able to command the respect of the members after directly becoming the deputy head of the Legion.”

Lawrence stated solemnly, “Ashton will be the one who restores the Legion’s glory, Kayla! He’s destined to become the head of the Legion in the future! You have to put your faith in me and dedicate yourself to assisting Ashton! You are to accept this mandate, for this is an executive order, Kayla!”

“Got it, Grandpa!” Kayla responded reluctantly.

She wasn’t just Lawrence’s granddaughter but also part of the Legion, so disobedience wasn’t an option.

She suddenly realized that she was now under Ashton’s direct authority, which meant that he would now have free rein to torment her. She brought her knees together at that thought, her sudden panic making her feel instantly feverish and thirsty.

Lawrence said, “You should come up with a codename since your identity must remain a secret, Ash.”

Ashton pondered for a moment before saying, “I’ll go with the Grim Reaper, then.”

“Grim Reaper?”

Lawrence and Kayla were both stunned. They then felt that the codename was perfect for Ashton’s ruthless methods, radiating an immediate and formidable deterrent effect.

Lawrence exclaimed, “That’s an excellent codenamel You’re the Grim Reaper, the deputy head of the Legion! You’ll lead the Legion and forge a new legacy! You’ll be able to command Hector, Eunice, and every member of the

“Your first directive as the deputy head is to neutralize the Sage and become the ruler of the criminal underworld!

He then leaned back slightly before adding gravely, “You must exercise extreme caution in everything you undertake since the Sage is a being of unfathomable power.”

“You have nothing to worry about. I have already conceived a strategy, Mr. Clarkson Senior! I’ll absolutely become the ruler of the criminal underworld in Javonbury!” Ashton declared, his eyes blazing with fiery ambition.

“It seems like the Legion will finally regain its former glory!” Lawrence roared with unbridled laughter.

Kayla muttered with a slight pout, “He’d better be capable of it!”

It was then that Ashton’s phone suddenly rang. He answered the call, his demeanor softening instantly while asking, “What’s the matter, Sylvia?”

Sylvia sounded frantic while replying, “It’s just as you anticipated, Ashton! Calvin’s parents have arrived with their people to go after you and Roxy! They are at Lakeview Heights right now!”

Ashton smiled faintly and said, “You can rest assured that I have everything under control.”

Having ended the call, Ashton proceeded to notify Gene of Noir Bar, Cadence of the Gale Assembly, Louie of the Holt Crew, and Natalie of Yorkshore Group, ordering them to converge immediately.

He then turned to Lawrence and said, “I’ll be heading off first, Mr. Clarkson Senior.”

Lawrence exclaimed, “Go ahead, then! I look forward to the day the Grim Reaper of the Legion strikes awe across the heavens!!!

“It will be sooner than you think, Mr. Clarkson Senior!” Ashton declared.

He then rose to his feet and turned to the patiently waiting Christian, saying, “I’d need you to come with me, Donahue. It’s time for the world to witness the true extent of my might!”
