Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 791

Logan was the head of the Empyrean Sentinel and the judge of the match. Hence, no one expected him to make such a brazen declaration. He was being incredibly shameless.

After a brief moment of silence, an overwhelming wave of killing intent filled the air.

“Ready your weapons!” Neil let out a furious roar as he glared at Logan with bloodshot eyes.

The members of the Legion drew their blades in the blink of an eye. Every single one of them was ready to fight to the death. This was outrageous–Logan had gone too far.

Furious, Ashton’s supporters quickly began to berate Logan as well.

“A draw? The Sage is a traitor who was completely defeated by Ashton. How can you call this a draw?

“Are you blind? I never thought that the head of the Empyrean Sentinel would be someone who is morally blind and twists the truth. I used to respect your organization. But now, I know that you’re just one of the Sage’s accomplices! You’re all a disgrace to Casoria!”

“Waiting until the Sage dies of old age? That’s bullshit! As of this very moment, Ashton is already the ruler of Javonbury’s

criminal underworld!”

“What exactly is the Empyrean Sentinel trying to do? I can’t believe they’re brazenly opting to go against the public’s opinion!”

“Has Logan gone mad? Is he not concerned about becoming the subject of public scorn for the rest of his life?”

“They’re not even trying to hide it anymore. These jerks have never intended to let Mr. Gray take the Sage’s place! They’re not willing to hand over Javonbury and allow the Legion to regain its footing! Isn’t this crossing a line?”

Angry voices rang out one after another.

At the same time, the members of the Empyrean Sentinel unleashed a chilling killing intent and stood their ground. Subsequently, Flint’s men and the vanguards followed suit.

Their expressions were cold and grim. They knew Flint had lost–but they also knew that they could simply refuse to acknowledge his defeat.

Ashton was already on the verge of death, and the Legion only had a handful of formidable fighters. So, the forces that were backing Ashton were nothing to be afraid of. In contrast, those who were currently on their side were all true martial arts

experts.

They could simply refuse to acknowledge the outcome of this battle. After all, history was written by the victors.

Besides, they were left with no choice. 800 billion dollars was on the line, and the fate of Javonbury itself hung in the balance. Faced with such high stakes, they didn’t care about being dishonorable as long as they came out on top.

In their opinion, Ashton had no one to blame. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t have anyone powerful to back him up. Besides, history was full of people who turned lies into facts. If they were to twist the truth, it would hardly be unprecedented

The group of despairing gamblers slowly lifted their heads. Their expressions remained dazed until the realization began to dawn on their faces. As it turned out, they could just distort the truth!

“He’s right! This match was a draw!” someone immediately barked. “Ashton can become the next ruler, but he can only do so after the Sage dies of old age!”

The man continued, “It’ll technically be considered a succession, so he’s not losing anything. Since it’s a draw, let’s just refund all the money we’ve wagered and call it a day. This way, it’ll be a win for everyone!”

“Well said!” declared another. “Now that the Sage has joined the Empyrean Sentinel, I’m sure he’ll stay in line. There’s no need to kill him. Let’s just leave everything as it is right now.”

“The Sage didn’t lose–and neither did we! Ashton should stop being unreasonable. They’ve already helped him save face by not declaring him the loser!”
