Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 684

Chapter 684

“Breaking news! The Sage has secured the backing of the Jalunese Martial Association! On the day of his birthday banquet, the Jalunese Martial Association will dispatch their strongest experts to help him!

“That’s not all—the Dominion Vanguard and the Empyrean Sentinel have publicly declared their support for the Sage to remain the ruler of Javonbury’s criminal underworld. They praised his past leadership skills, and they painted Ashton Gray as a power- hungry traitor who’s disrupting the peace!”

“Overnight, almost every major faction in Javonbury has picked a side. Nearly 80% of them have chosen to rally behind the Sage. Ashton, on the other hand, has almost no supporters.

“There’s no way he could possibly challenge the Sage and become the new ruler of the criminal underworld! If he decides to show his face at the Sage’s birthday banquet, he’s practically as good as dead!”

Someone burst out laughing. “Who does Ashton think he is? Does he think he’s invincible? His victory against Clay was nothing but pure luck!

“This time, I’m going to win the bet and get my money back! Ashton will definitely lose this fight. No one can possibly challenge the Sage’s authority!”

“In my opinion, Ashton has simply gotten arrogant. He’s set himself up for his own downfall.”

“What are you still waiting for? Place your bets and pledge your allegiance to the Sage now! This fight won’t just reshape our city -it’ll be a complete redistribution of power and interest.

“Your choice will decide your fate. The Sage will prevail no matter what!”

“Why do I feel like Ashton will be able to create another miracle? Our fate isn’t set in stone. Why can’t he change his destiny?”

“Have you been reading too many novels? The real world is cold and merciless. The odds have already been calculated. Ashton might not even have a 10% chance to become the ruler of the Javonbury criminal underworld.

“Lawrence, his biggest backer, is currently in a coma. This means that he doesn’t have anyone to depend on. How can he possibly go up against the unpredictable Sage? Stop being so delusional!”

“Do you guys know what Ashton has been up to? All he does is fool around with a bunch of women. He’s clearly given up and is making the most out of what’s left of his life!”

“That’s enough talk. Go take out a loan and bet everything you have on this fight. This is your chance to double your wealth! Life -changing opportunities like this don’t come by very often.”

Endless updates and messages were flooding every social circle and online forum. Fueled by the public frenzy, the total amount wagered across all betting lines soared past 150 billion dollars.

By the time the final cutoff date rolled around, the betting pool would probably amount to more than 500 billion dollars!

The public wasn’t just gambling–they were also declaring their allegiance. As time went on, more and more factions were being dragged into the conflict.

Some of them got involved by choice, while others were pulled in against their will.

Ashton and Flint’s supporters didn’t just get into heated arguments online–some of their quarrels escalated into offline confrontations, and a select few even ended in bloodshed.

All of these incidents only fueled the hype further. Unbeknownst to everyone, Ashton and the Sage’s battle had already become the focus of the entire city.

Meanwhile, Ashton arrived at Blossom Hall.
