Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 699

“Those idiots betting on Ashton are beyond foolish. Don’t they wonder why his odds are three to one? It’s because the chances of him becoming Javonbury’s new ruler of the criminal underworld are practically impossible!”

“When Ashton defeated Clay, he faced the same mockery, but what happened then? Who says the Sage will always hold his position as the ruler of the criminal underworld in Javonbury? It’s time for a new era!”

The crowd argued endlessly, tension rising as hostility filled the air.

Time ticked by, and more and more people gathered at Grandcrest Estate. Some of the powerful figures who’d been invited had already arrived early.

“Are these… people from the Jalunese Martial Association? Their aura is terrifying.”

Two men and a woman dressed in Jalunese attire entered Grandcrest Estate under Irina’s personal escort. The killing intent they subtly released sent chills through everyone watching.

One replied, “I’m not mistaken, the one in the center should be Gareth Steele. He’s the mentee of the legendary Divine Swordmaster of jalun, Wycliffe. His swordsmanship is exceptional.

“Rumor has it he’s only one step away from the divine realm and is cultivating his sword intent to break through.

“The other two have equally fearsome auras. Are these the Sage’s allies? They’re terrifying. With Gareth and the others backing him, how can Ashton challenge the Sage? The moment Ashton steps into Grandcrest Estate, he’ll be a dead man.”

“I told you Ashton doesn’t stand a chance.”

Almost instantly, Flint’s odds began dropping rapidly while Ashton’s odds shot up.

“Heh, let me tell you some inside information. The Heavenly Medical Pavilion provided the Sage with an extremely valuable spiritual medicine that would restore his vigor and return him to peak condition.

“I know you’re all hoping Ashton can take advantage of the Sage’s age to defeat him, but that’s pure fantasy. Today, the Sage will show you what it means to be the ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury.”

“If that’s true, then Ashton’s doomed for sure. What does he have to win with?”

“Hmph! The Sage and Ashton were never opponents on the same level. I have no idea where Ashton got the nerve to challenge the Sage and stir up such chaos. In my eyes, Ashton’s nothing but a clown who won’t be jumping around much longer!”

“Hurry up and place your bets. We’re almost at the cutoff time. Bet everything on the Sage while you still can ”

“Inside information! Inside information! Ashton’s cultivation level has been confirmed as a peak transcendent realin expert, while the Sage’s level has finally been confirmed as the perfected stage of the semi–divine realm.

“This showdown has no suspense whatsoever. I bet Ashton won’t even have the guts to show up at the Sage’s birthday celebration.”

“Heh, it’s like an ant trying to shake a tree…”

“Cultivation level doesn’t mean everything Have you forgotten how Ashton defeated Clay? I believe in Mr. Gray. Just because be dares to kill the powerful elite, I’ll support him unconditionally”

The storm of public opinion continued to rage, growing more intense by the moment

The sun slowly descended in the west. Only two hours remained until Flint’s noth birthday celebration began, and just one houE until the betting pool closed.

Ashton wasn’t worried about the odds. He’d handed all hits funds to Wanda to manage. She would bet everything on him becoming Javonbury’s new ruler of the criminal underworld at the optimal moment
