Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 797

Chapter 797

“I know I’m in the wrong, Mr. Clarkson Senior, so please have some mercy and spare my life!” Logan struggled to his feet with great effort, gritting his teeth.

He finally lowered his head in submission after a moment of hesitation, unwilling to risk further combat with Lawrence. He feared that Lawrence would actually execute him, having just experienced a lethal threat to his life.

Logan’s submission sent the hopeful spectators from the various factions into a downward spiral of despair. They felt as though they had plunged into an abyss, their faces turning ashen as they understood that their cause was lost.

Ashton’s succession as the new ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury was set in stone–and nothing could change that.

It marked the beginning of a new era, as the two members of the Legion–one old, one young–had completely transformed Javonbury’s landscape.

Lawrence asked flatly, “Did Ashton win this fight, then?”

“Yes!” Logan replied, nodding his head in reluctant acknowledgment.

“Is Ashton the new ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury, then? Did Ashton win the bets at the Curios Chamber?” Lawrence looked disdainfully at Logan as he continued his questioning.

Logan clenched his fists, his eyes brimming with indignation. He ultimately nodded and replied, “Yes!”

That single affirmation threw everyone in Grandcrest Estate into chaos, sending shockwaves through the crowd.

“We did it! We won! Mr. Gray has truly succeeded! He’s the new ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury from this moment onward! We’re finally free from the Sage’s greed and intimidation! We don’t have to act so servile toward the Sage anymore!”

“How satisfying! How exhilarating! We’re drinking until we drop tonight. Hold on! I’m going on a three–day bender to celebrate this instead!”

“Mr. Gray won fair and square, defeating all opponents! He is truly worthy of being the new ruler of the criminal underworld of Javonbury!”

“How can my darling be so impressive? I really want to spend an intimate night with him! I’ll definitely make sure he has a great time!”

“You should get in line! Mr. Gray is officially the dream man for every woman in Javonbury from today onward!”

“I just remembered that foolish woman who actually divorced Ashton. I bet she’s crying her eyes out right now, destined to live with this regret for her entire life!”

‘I’ll say! I’d give anything to be Ashton’s woman! I wouldn’t even mind if it was just for one night!”

In that instant, Ashton became the center of attention for everyone present. They looked at him like a star on the rise, witnessing the opening of a new era and a new legend.

“If you have no further business with us, I shall depart with my men, Mr. Clarkson Senior!” Logan’s face flushed with shame, desperate to depart from the scene.

He needed to return to the Empyrean Sentinel’s headquarters to consult with the former head on how to counter the resurgence of the Legion and suppress Ashton’s ego. He had to stop Ashton before he grew any stronger.

Just as Logan prepared to turn away, a chilling wave of killing intent washed over him. He felt a shock run through his entire body, and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead. He found himself unable to take another step forward.

“Did I permit you to leave? Did you not realize that by trying to take Ashton’s life, you were committing a crime punishable by death?” Lawrence asked coldly, his voice carrying an absolute authority.
