Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 679

Chapter 679

The Sage had already sent someone to talk to them, promising great rewards as well.

He made it clear that after his 80th birthday, he would support the Jensens to become the most eminent of the Four Powerhouses of Javonbury, expanding their influence and power.

He would also back Cesar’s advancement in the military.

However, his condition was that they betray Ashton and pledge their support to him.

“What should we do?” Seth asked.

He recalled the terror of Ashton and the humiliation as a result of Ashton. The two voices in his head were clashing hard.

On one hand, he feared the pressure he felt in Ashton’s presence, but on the other hand, he resented Ashton for stealing Martha, the woman of his dreams.

If Ashton died at Flint’s 80th birthday celebration, didn’t that mean he could reclaim Martha and move on from all his past humiliation?

“You’re in the military, Cesar. Do you know what Ashton’s cultivation realm is?” Tybalt asked.

Cesar replied in a low voice, “If we take Ashton’s duel with Clay as our reference point, he should only be at the peak of the transcendent realm. He still has a ways to go before reaching the semi–divine realm.”

“Only a peak transcendent realm expert, huh? If that were the case, wouldn’t it be suicide for him to challenge the Sage?” Tyblat pondered grimly while recalling Ashton’s arrogant demeanor.

“I keep getting the feeling that he’s stronger than that. Whenever he does something, he always has a reason for his confidence. He may seem like a recklessly arrogant man, but that’s not truly the case.”

“Ashton does indeed possess great potential. But this time, he’ll be facing off against the Sage,” Cesar said, feeling conflicted when he recalled how Ashton had helped him with his martial arts technique before.

In the end, he said to Tybalt, “You’re the head of the Jensen family. You should make the final decision.”

Tybalt closed his eyes and considered all the factors for a long time. After a long time, he finally opened his eyes and sighed.

“Ashton is talented, but he’s far too young. Tell the Sage that we, the Jenses, are willing to ally with him.

“Seth, channel all of our movable funds into betting on the Sage remaining the king of Javonbury’s criminal underworld.”

“Got it!”

Seth felt nervous and fearful but excited as well. He didn’t want to spend the rest of his life playing second fiddle to Ashton. His desire for Martha ignited once more.

The various factions of Javonbury jumped into action.

A large portion of them had already made their choice, while a small fraction still hesitated.

This choice would determine their fates. No one dared to place their bets recklessly, not when the outcome was still a mystery to them.

“Breaking news, everyone! The Gale Assembly and the Jensen family, who have both allied with Ashton once, have chosen to betray him and join the Sage’s camp. They’ve staked their assets on his victory!

“There’s no doubt about it now. Ashton is definitely going to lose. These people who are closest to him would surely know how strong he is. There’s no way he can dethrone the king of Javonbury’s underworld!”

“Ashton is too young and hot–headed. He’s being far too impatient. It isn’t his time to shine yet.”
