Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 537

Clay’s eyes flashed with deep resentment as he glared at Ashton.

Ashton had stolen his woman, caused the fracture in his cultivation resolve, and trampled all over his diguity This time around, he would repay everything in spades.

Lawrence exchanged a glance with Ashton. The latter casually allowed a flicker of his energy to linger briefly on Lawrence, whose eyes immediately widened.

His emotions churned when he sensed that Ashton was now a semi–divine realm expert. The flame inside of him that had long since been extinguished was now reignited.

While Lawrence had always thought highly of Ashton, he knew that it would take some time before Ashton could fully grow into the leadership role and shoulder the responsibility of restoring the Legion to its former glory.

But now…

Ashton had progressed at a truly unimaginable speed.

Lawrence no longer felt like it was just a dream to restore the Legion to greatness. Perhaps his lifelong dream, which he had failed to realize, would come true because of Ashton.

The two men’s eyes glinted. Following their silent exchange, they both smiled and made up their minds to reap the most benefits they could from Clay, who was voluntarily offering himself up to be taken advantage of.

Sneering at Clay, Ashton remarked, “What gives a loser like you the audacity to throw your weight around me, hm? You’re just embarrassing yourself.”

“Things have changed, Ashton! I’ve reached the transcendent realm now. The power of my bloodline has been awakened and enhanced. You’re nothing but a bug to me now. If you don’t think that’s true, feel free to accept the challenge. I’ll prove it to you by killing you!” Clay declared arrogantly.

Ashton looked at Clay as if he were an idiot and let out a mocking laugh.

“I’ve already made myself clear before. I don’t have the time to waste on trash like you. A duel to the death is not out of the question, but you’d better make it worth my while. As long as the wager is large enough, I’d be more than happy to let you lose to me one more time.”

As if he had already expected to hear that from Ashton, Felix stepped forward and said calmly, “The head of the Dominion Vanguard has given his word. We will be betting a spirit ore mine worth ten billion dollars on this fight between Ashton and Clay. Will that suffice?”

A spirit ore mine worth ten billion dollars?

Ashton couldn’t hide the excitement in his eyes.

Here in Casoria, spirit ore mines couldn’t be bought. They were owned mainly by the powerful factions. Ther were truly priceless treasures.

If a spirit ore mine worth ten billion dollars was used correctly, it would be an endless source of spirit ores that the legionnaires needed. It was enormously valuable for the development of new recruits.

This was especially true for the Legion, which only had a couple of spirit ore veins left that could be ned, nowhere near enough to meet the supply needed for the growth of the Legion.

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the Legion was basically broke right now.

Thus, Ashton and Lawrence weren’t the least bit furious to see Clay here. On the contrary, they got pretty excited. It was true that he was a walking cache of resources, tipe for the plucking each time!

The two were secretly pleased that Clay hadn’t been completely crippled the last time. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to make a tidy profit again this time.

Expression unchanged, Lawrence slowly shook his head. “That’s not enough.”

Clay grew livid. “Mr. Clarkson Senior! How can you say that a spirit ore mine worth ten billion dollars isn’t enough of a wager? The value of all the Legion’s spirit ore mines combined is only worth ten billion dollars. That’s already the maximum you have!

“Mr. Clarkson Senior, Ashton, if you’re too chicken to accept the challenge because you’re scared you’d lose, then just admit it! All you have to do is accept the lingerie and white flag, then let Ashton prostrate himself at my feet before crawling between my legs. Do that, and I’ll forget about the challenge.”

Felix was also sneering, thinking that Lawrence was worried that Ashton would lose to Clay. The Legion sure was declining day by day.

A failing organization like the Legion should’ve been disbanded ages ago. They should’ve handed over control of the northern frontier and the position of army commander by now!

“You’ve already lost to Ashton once, Clay. If you wish to challenge him again, it’s only natural that you have to raise the stakes. Are you saying that we’re supposed to just let any random fool off the street challenge us? We don’t have so much time on our hands.”
