Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 963

Ashton had been trying to take control of Linton Island’s criminal underworld, but he hadn’t found a way in. Now, the three factions were fighting each other, and the balance was shifting. This was his chance to step in. He thought about how to take control of it and how to bring Aaron and the other two under him.

Before heading to the Central Region, he had already set his plan in place. He would expand his power base as much as possible, gather more allies, and wipe out every enemy that stood in his way.

Then, Ashton would move on to the Heavenly Medical Pavilion, press in with overwhelming force, turn it into a blood–soaked wedding, and take Wanda.

After that, he would bring Sylvia back from Stellar Hall, take Leona and Faye from the Divine Phoenix Order, and reclaim Celia from the Trinity Celestial Abbey.

To achieve all of this, he needed the power of his own, and he needed to grow stronger as fast as possible. Otherwise, none of it would amount to anything.

“Damn it! How did Steven break into the divine realm?”

Cyrus’s face went pale, his body tensing as the fear set in.

Miranda frowned. She knew exactly how deep the feud ran between her father and Steven.

Those two had never been able to coexist. Their factions had been clashing for years, and things had already reached the point where only one side would walk away alive.

“Miranda… Your dad’s going to be okay, right?” Quinn also sensed something was off.

Miranda said nothing, but she could feel something was wrong.

Then, Ashton reached out and wrapped an arm around her waist.

“Don’t worry. I’m here,” he said calmly.

That one line left Quinn stunned. She was surprised that he knew how to charm women.

“I’ll give up 30% of my territory,” Aaron said in a low voice.

Giving up ground was their best option right now. It would at least buy them a year to recover.

Steven snorted and said, “Do you really think that little of me? I went through hell to reach the divine realm. Do you have any idea what it cost me? And you think I did all that for scraps like this? Do you really think that’s possible?”

“What do you want, then?”

“I want the entire Linton Island’s criminal underworld.”

Steven’s pressure intensified, bearing down on them as he spoke coldly.

“I’ll say it one last time. Kneel and submit. Do that, and you keep your dignity. If I have to make you, you won’t have any left. ”
