Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 990

Josiah was positive that Ashton was responsible for the attack. However, he had been unable to track Ashton’s movements at all and found it impossible to intervene before the blow landed.

Ashton didn’t even acknowledge Josiah. He turned his gaze toward Zeke, who was scrambling to his feet, and stated coldly, “You have a lot of nerve touching someone who belongs to me, Mr. Zapata. Do you have a death wish?”

That single question sent a shockwave through the room, leaving everyone there shaking.

“Who the hell is this relative of yours, Carol? Does he have a death wish or something? He actually laid a hand on Mr. Zapata! Does he have no idea that the Zapata family rules Linton Island? He’s inviting catastrophe!

“You’d better cut all ties with Ashton right now–there’s no way he’s leaving this private room alive!” Sully’s forehead was slick with sweat as he cursed violently, panicking at the thought of being caught up in Ashton’s

chaos.

Carol bit her lip, her eyes fixed on Ashton in a daze. She was already mentally rehearsing how to distance herself from him when the questioning started.

“End him, Josiah!” Zeke roared, his fury boiling over. He had never been so disrespected on Linton Island, nor had he ever been attacked so openly before a group of witnesses.

“Got it, Mr. Zapata!” Josiah’s killing intent flared. He lowered his stance before he sprang toward Ashton, targeting his throat with a deadly strike.

Ashton nonchalantly lifted his right arm and delivered a punch. A sonic boom echoed through the room as Josiah’s energy was completely neutralized.

Josiah was flung across the private room as if he had been hit by a freight train, causing his bones to snap and blood to spray across the floor as he collapsed in a heap, motionless as a corpse.

That scene alone made everyone gasp in collective shock, their fear of Ashton hitting a fever pitch. They knew right away that Ashton was a force to be reckoned with and that Zeke had finally met his match.

Ashton walked toward Zeke after a brief pause and asked coldly, “How should I deal with you, Mr. Zapata?”

“Y–You’d better not come any closer! If I suffer so much as a scratch, my father will make you pay! You should know that no one dares to make an enemy out of the Zapata family on Linton Island!” Zeke was drenched in a cold sweat, unable to bring himself to look into Ashton’s piercing and detached gaze.

“Is that so?” Ashton sneered as he exerted a heavy, suffocating pressure that bore down on Zeke like a physical weight.

Zeke instantly felt an immense weight settle on his shoulders. His knees buckled under the strain, and the sheer force was so immense that his internal organs began to seize, as though they were fracturing under the strain.

He gripped his fists with all his might, d

Ashton.

Zeke felt his skeleton begin to splinter

to

the horrific pressure and avoid kneeling before

the while the pressure squeezed the very blood in his veins. His clothing tore apart as gruesomes opened across his skin, staining half of his body crimson.

It wasn’t long before Zeke’s legs gave way with a loud thud. He fell to his knees and huddled on the floor before Ashton despite his resolve. He groveled before Ashton’s feet, looking like a defeated sinner cowering before a supreme deity.

“If there was no one bold enough to challenge the Zapata family in the past, that changes today I’ll owe you a chance call your father and tell him I want to talk business!” Ashton demanded indifferently, his eyes geaning with a faint light.

He knew he needed the Zapata family alongside the Apex Martial Academy and the Sterlings in order to dominate every aspect of Linton Island. He intended to seize this chance to secure their submission.
