Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 964

Chapter 964

“Steven, don’t push your luck!” Aaron snapped.

Steven snorted and replied, “Still as defiant as ever. Fine. Don’t blame me for what happens next.”

His eyes locked onto Aaron. Then, he shot forward like a released arrow, closing the distance before Aaron could react.

A sharp chill ran through Aaron’s body. He channeled all his strength into defense, his semi–divine realm aura wrapping tightly around his body.

Steven slammed into him like a charging tank. Aaron’s defenses shattered on contact, and he took the blow head- on. His body flew backward and crashed into the edge of the lightning barrier. Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and fear flashed in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected the gap between them to be this wide. The difference between the semi–divine realm and the divine realm was absolute.

“This is what happens when you go against me,” Steven said.

He turned to Maddox, who had already begun to tremble, and stepped forward.

“Mr. Leighton, a wise man knows when to yield. Kneel and submit, and you’ll still run Apex Martial Academy and control your forces. The only difference is that you answer to me. Other than that, nothing changes. You’ll stand below me and above everyone else.”

Maddox’s fists clenched. He glanced at Aaron, who had been taken down with a single blow. After a brief internal struggle, he let out a long sigh. His knees bent, and he dropped to the ground in front of Steven.

“I submit.”

Steven threw his head back and laughed.

“Good!”

He looked down at the kneeling Maddox, clearly pleased, and burst into laughter.

“Well, Aaron? What about you?” Steven stepped closer, a cold glint in his eyes. “Are you going to kneel, or not?”

Aaron clenched his teeth. “If I submit, will you spare me?”

Steven let out a cold laugh.

“Of course. Kneel, hand over all your territory, give up everything you’ve built over the years, and offer your daughter to me as my mistress. Do that, and I’ll spare your life. I’ll even leave your family a way out. “Well? What do you say?”

Aaron snapped his head up, anger flashing in his eyes.

“You want my daughter?” he said through gritted teeth.

He could negotiate on everything else, but handing his daughter over to Steven to be abused was something he would never accept.
