Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 552

Chapter 552

A young woman trembled as she spoke. “Finally, someone is standing up for Melissa Sharp and her family. I was there when Melissa took her own life all those years ago. I remember that bitch, Willa, laughing as Melissa jumped!

“Alas, the Worsleys were too influential, then. Willa was untouchable. I thought that was it. I thought justice would never be served!”

“Has someone really managed to go up against the Worsleys? That can’t be. They’re far too powerful!”

“Looking at Kendrick’s severed head hanging there, I’m placing all my trust in the Legion.”

“Let’s hope so…”

Moments later, the gates of Worsley Manor swung open. William Worsley, the patriarch of the Worsley family and Willa’s father, emerged leading hundreds of experts. Their formation was a stark standoff with the Northern Troops.

William exuded the terrifying air of the transcendent realm. He shielded Willa behind him and glanced at the billowing flag of the Northern Troops. He frowned as he addressed Ashton, “You’ve gone too far, sir!

“How dare you come to my house and demand for my daughter! In all the 30 years I’ve lived here in Javonbury, no one has ever behaved as brazenly and arrogantly as you have!”

“Well, then, let it be known that tonight is the night someone has finally dared to!”

Ashton continued, enunciating each word sharply, “Now, are you planning to hand her over, or shall I come get her myself?”

“Do not push me, Ashton,” William replied coldly. “The Worsleys are experts in the martial arts. We’re not afraid of you.”

“Charge!” Ashton wasted no time before uttering the command.

“Charge!”

The Northern Troops moved in perfect unison, charging straight toward Worsley Manor.

William’s heart skipped a beat. He hadn’t expected those lunatics to actually strike, leaving them with no room for retreat.

“Dad, you have to save me!” Willa trembled violently. Her makeup was smeared, and she felt truly afraid for the first time in her

life.

She didn’t want to end up like Kendrick–decapitated and hung up for all to see.

“Don’t worry, no one will hurt you with me here! All the Legion did was execute a bunch of people. They’re not that big of a deal. They’re nothing but a corrupt, outdated institution!”

Although William had heard of the Legion’s fearsome reputation, he hadn’t taken it too seriously. After all, the Worsleys had been steadily rising in the ranks lately. Moreover, with him having ascended to the transcendent realm, he didn’t think he had anything to fear.

All he had to do was hold out till the Dominion Vanguard arrived. After that, the Northern Troops would be nothing more than a pack of fools in comparison.

By then, not only would the Worsleys be safe from battle, but their prestige would soar further as well.

In between the commotion, streaks of blood spurted across the battlefield. William’s heart sank. He’d only just begun to realize the true terror of the Northern Troops.

Their combat strength far exceeded their apparent cultivation by several levels. Furthermore, their strikes were clean, and their attacks lethal. Each move was precise and calculated.

William’s experts were no match for them, not against a seasoned army like the Northern Troops!

William’s eyes narrowed. Just as he was about to retreat with Willa, a long sword pressed down from above, radiating with murderous fury.

He dared not make any sudden moves. His inner energy erupted into a barrier of light.

Ashton’s sword struck in one fell swoop, shattering William’s light barrier. The blade hurtled at lightning speed toward William.

In a flash, William’s clothes were slashed apart by the blade, blood streaking across his body as he staggered backward. He stared in mute terror at the advancing Ashton.

Death had never felt more imminent as he cowered under Ashton’s sword.
