All Chapters of Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry?: Chapter 991 - Chapter 1000

Ashton shot Zeke a contemptuous glance. "If your family isn't here in 30 minutes, you're dead," he said coldly.Zeke flinched, realizing he'd picked the wrong target this time. His face twisted as he pulled out his phone and called Brody."What is it?" A commanding voice came through, though it sounded weak."Dad, I'm in trouble…" Zeke gave a quick account of what happened."Who was it that attacked you?""It's a man called Ashton Gray…" Zeke responded."Ashton Gray? The new ruler of Linton Island's criminal underworld? Looks like he's not stopping there. He wants to control the legitimate side, too," Brody said. "I'm on my way with my men."The call ended, and Zeke's eyes widened. He realized that the man standing before him was the new ruler of Linton Island's criminal underworld, and that he'd been the target all along.The temperature in the room seemed to drop, and the air turned heavy, like a storm about to break."The Zapata family is coming? They're the top family

As their powers collided, Ashton's arm snapped upward like an iron rod and smashed through the elderly man's divine realm power. The strike carried through and crashed into his body, sending him flying more than 30 feet away.A streak of blood arced through the air, followed by the elderly man's sharp, ragged scream. With just one strike, even someone at his level could no longer keep fighting.For a moment, the room fell silent. Even the killing intent in the air began to fade.The once-aggressive transcendent realm experts now shrank back, huddling behind Brody as they warily stared at Ashton.Brody's brow tightened as he was surprised by Ashton's overwhelming strength. After a moment's hesitation, he let out a sigh and reined in his killing intent.He smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Gray, my son was out of line. I apologize on his behalf. Let's put this behind us. There's no need for things to get ugly."Those words made Zeke's heart sink. He never expected his father, who had a

Brody understood that Ashton was binding their loyalty with both benefit and fear. His expression shifted slightly.He lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Gray, can you plant the death mark on me alone?""No," Ashton refused."Mr. Gray… As long as you save my dad, my life is yours."While Brody was still hesitating, Zeke bent forward and knocked his forehead against the floor three times. His eyes were filled with resolve."Please save my dad. I'll make it up to you!" He kept slamming his forehead against the ground until his forehead was covered in blood."That's enough." Ashton was a little surprised as he looked at Zeke. The foremost scion of Linton Island might be arrogant, but he clearly cared about his father."Mr. Gray, please save my dad." Zeke kept hitting his head against the floor. He knew exactly where his status came from. Without his father, he was nothing."Those not involved can leave," Ashton said.Brody took a deep breath and waved his hand. "All of you, wai

After hearing Ashton's words, Brody froze as disbelief flashed across his face before his eyes lit up."Mr. Gray, do you really mean that?" he asked."Of course," Ashton replied calmly. "Even if you submit, you'd still resent it unless I defeat you outright. What I want is your loyalty. If I can't have that, then fear and respect will do.""Mr. Gray, then I won't hold back."Brody's gaze sharpened as his divine realm aura surged, rising like a violent storm. His fingers clenched into a fist, killing intent bursting free as he drew every ounce of strength into his palm and pushed himself to the limit.If there was any chance to break free from being controlled and forced to serve Ashton, he had no choice but to risk it all. This wasn't just about him. It was about his bloodline.He would stake everything on this strike. As long as he could force Ashton back even one step, he would win. This was a chance he wouldn't miss.Brody was certain of it. He knew how powerful and dangerous

Brody knew nothing in this world came for free. The terms and benefits Ashton was offering were far too generous, while he'd given almost nothing in return. That alone made it clear that everything came at a price. He just wanted to know what kind of enemy he would be facing, so he could be prepared.Cyrus couldn't help but glance at Ashton, his expression tightening. Maddox had told him before that Ashton had his own motives and enemies to deal with. When the time came, they would be bound to Ashton by shared interests."Calm down. It's not something you need to know yet. I'll inform you when I need you," Ashton said with a faint smile. "Relax. I'm not sending you on a suicide run. And look at the upside—maybe one day, your territory won't be limited to Linton Island."With that, he turned and left. He couldn't tell Brody and the others that his target was the Heavenly Medical Pavilion. The moment that name came up, fear would take root. Besides the risk of exposure, it would onl
