Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458

Upon hearing those heartfelt words from Lawrence, Ashton felt deeply moved.

Having grown up without ever knowing his father, he’d never experienced a father’s protection. Yet at that moment, he felt a profound and unfamiliar feeling of warmth from Lawrence. He began to truly regard Lawrence as family.

He was determined to help Lawrence make a full recovery and return to his former glory!

“You did the right thing this time,” Lawrence said firmly. “Those Jalunese bastards deserve to be beaten and slaughtered until they understand the might of Casoria.”

Lawrence patted Ashton on the shoulder before sweeping his cold gaze over Ronan and the retreating Flint.

Ronan clutched the wound in his chest, blood still seeping through his fingers. His face was twisted with hatred so intense he wished he could rip Ashton and Lawrence apart.

But he knew all too well that with Lawrence protecting him, Ashton was untouchable today.

Why wasn’t that old bastard dead yet?

The terrifying power from just one of Lawrence’s fingers had already given Ronan a taste of what impending doom felt like.

He also knew full well that Lawrence had deliberately avoided his vital organs. Otherwise, he’d be a dead man

now.

“Let’s go!” Ronan growled.

They were completely outclassed, so he knew he had to leave without getting what he wanted today.

Soon, Ronan and Flint backed out of Blossom Hall with their people in tow.

Three formidable factions had shown up today, but now, one was almost entirely annihilated while the other two were fleeing in disgrace. As a result of this, the women of Blossom Hall began looking at Ashton with even more awe and infatuation.

He’d kept his promise. He really did manage to protect them all.

In their eyes, Ashton had become even more mysterious and mesmerizing.

“Mr. Clarkson Senior, you absolutely cannot use your inner energy again anytime soon,” Ashton warned as he quickly took out several silver needles and inserted them into Lawrence’s acupoints to stabilize his condition. ” If you aggravate the injury again, even I won’t be able to help you.”

“Did you hear that, Grandpa?” Kayla muttered. “You’re still being so reckless at your age!”

Clearing his throat, Lawrence rubbed his nose like an errant child.

“Ashton, after this incident tonight, you’ve completely made enemies of the Dominion Vanguard and the Sage. Your identity as a deputy head of the Legion won’t stay hidden much longer. You must have a breakthrough and reach the divine realm as soon as possible. Otlierwise, you’ll be in great danger,” he warned gravely.

The Legion was no longer what it once was. Though Ashton had been treating him, Lawrence was also far from his prime. Even dealing with someone like Ronan now required tremendous effort. He could no longer fully shield Ashton from danger.

“You don’t need to worry about me, Mr. Clarkson Senior,” Ashton said confidently. “It won’t be long before I reach the divine realm.”

After today’s slaughter, he could clearly feel the surge in the power of his Drakeborne lineage. The spiritual energy he’d absorbed seemed to have almost completely been refined into his body.

All he needed was one final catalyst to break through the limitations and step into the divine realm.

Lawrence’s eyes lit up. He carefully studied Ashton’s aura. Soon, with a look of shock and overwhelming joy, he laughed heartily. “Excellent! Very good. As expected from the man I chose to take over as the head of the Legion!

“I won’t let you down, Mr. Clarkson Senior.”

Ashton knew that Lawrence’s greatest wish was to see the Legion rising once more and being restored to its former glory. He was going to fulfill that wish. He would make the Legion stronger and more glorious than ever before.

“I have faith in you,” Lawrence said, looking visibly happy. “What’s your next step? Do you need any help from the Legion?”

Ashton pondered briefly before replying, “In ten days, at the Sage’s 80th birthday celebration, I will make his crimes public and take his life. Then, I’ll take his place and become the new ruler of Javonbury’s criminal underworld.

“With Javonbury under my command, the Legion will have even more resources and information at its disposal. It’ll be able to expand even more as well.”

“In ten days? Don’t you think that’s a bit too much of a rush?” Lawrence quirked a brow.

He gave it some thought before saying, “I observed the Sage earlier. He’s not what he seems. In fact, he’s definitely more of a threat than Ronan is!”

Ashton paused. To be honest, he had the same feeling when he faced Flint as well.
