Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 587

“Hold it!”

Eunice scrutinized Ashton before asking grimly, “Are you confident about winning that match against Clay or not? I heard you’ve bewitched the Northern Troops and the legionnaires to bet on your victory. Some of them have even staked their entire life savings.

“Do you have any idea what the consequences will be if you lose?”

“I’ve never lost,” Ashton said confidently.

He glanced at Eunice. On account of how he’d slept with her once, he said curtly, “Feel free to place a bet of your own. I can guarantee you’ll make a fortune on it.”

“I won’t bet a single thing on you winning! I don’t believe in you at all! I really don’t know what Mr. Clarkson Senior is thinking! “Eunice snapped. “If the Legion’s reputation is ruined because of you, you’ll be condemned for all eternity!

“My beloved Lord Reaper worked so hard to rebuild the Legion’s prestige. If you lose it all in two days, I’ll make you pay for that! “Eunice waved her fist at Ashton, her chest heaving.

All the nutrients seemed to have gone to her chest during the early developmental years of her life, leaving none for her brain.

Ashton had no interest in saying another word. He brushed past Eunice and entered the villa.

Watching Ashton’s figure gradually disappear into the night, Eunice frowned slightly. That damned sense of familiarity came rushing over her again.

In fact, when she hugged Ashton earlier, she had almost believed that Ashton really was the Grim Reaper. But what was with that different aura she sensed?

Eunice shook her head and stopped thinking about it. “In two days, once I see your fighting style clearly, I’ll be able to discern your identity. You’d better not be Lord Reaper!”

She pressed her lips together, her mind in turmoil.

Originally, she’d wanted to recommend Roxy to join the Legion, but Ashton was now a legionnaire. Considering the nature of their relationship, there was an almost nonexistent chance of Roxy joining the Legion now.

“Curse you, Ashton! Are you going to be the reason why the Legion loses out on a prodigy?” Eunice grumbled to herself. “If you lose the match two days from now, I’ll ask Mr. Clarkson Senior to kick you out of the Legion. That way, Roxy can join the Legion and revive our glory!”

Over the next two days, Javonbury fell into a rare calm.

The only thing stirring up any excitement was the deadly duel between Ashton and Clay. It was the talk of the town among the various social circles.

More and more of the prominent and distinguished families joined in on the betting pools. Most of them had deep ties to either the Dominion Vanguard or the Legion.

Without a doubt, the match was going to be a fiery battle between the two powerful organizations.

“The total betting pool has already reached ten billion dollars! I heard the legionnaires are going around provoking the vanguards to no end. They are going around saying that Ashton once defeated Clay.

“The vanguards have been completely enraged by the way the legionnaires are saying that someone who has already lost once has no right to claim any valor. The vanguards have made tens of billions in bets, swearing to bleed the Legion dry.”

“That’s nothing. I heard that the legionnaires and the vanguards have secretly been challenging each other to fights as well, and some even sold off all their assets just to bet on this one match!”

“Things sure are getting more and more heated up!”

“Heh, this isn’t just a simple duel to the death. The Dominion Vanguard and the Legion have never gotten along. They’re sworn enemies! This is a clash of both old history and new grudges. Both sides are pissed, of course, eager to send the other to hell. This won’t end until the total annihilation of either party!”

“Judging from the current odds, Clay winning this fight is practically a sure thing. I really don’t know how the Legion got the nerve to accept this challenge.”

“The Legion has been going downhill for ages now. They’re about to get decommissioned entirely. Maybe they’re seizing this chance to just throw in the towel completely. It’s all or nothing for them right now.”

“I also bet a bit on Clay winning. It’s basically free money anyway, so why not make the most of it?”

“Yeah… The odds are still pretty high right now…”
