Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry? Novel

Chapter 105 +25 Bonus Chapter 105 Ashton had always been hung up on his background . " I can tell that you hate your father , " Lawrence remarked steadily . " How can I not hate a father who abandoned his child and a husband who left his wife without so much as a word of goodbye ? " Ashton said . A father was every child's first hero , but from the moment Ashton could think , he felt nothing but resentment and disdain for his father .

If that man had shouldered even an ounce of his responsibility as a father , Ashton , Madison , and Irene wouldn't have had to suffer so much throughout his childhood . " I think your father might've had his reasons for leaving . " " His reasons ? " Ashton repeated . Lawrence looked out the window without answering , and Ashton astutely stopped asking . After about an hour , the sedan parked outside a pitch - black cemetery . " Mr. Clarkson Senior ? What are you doing here ? " A caretaker hobbled over with the help of a cane , his body covered in chilling scars .

" I brought someone over to visit our fallen brothers and seniors . " Turning to Neil and Kayla , Lawrence said , " I'll walk around with Ashton . You two wait here for us . " With that said , he led Ashton deep into the cemetery . As they walked through the place , every gravestone they passed by was etched with the name of a deceased legionnaire who died in service to the nation . Ashton couldn't help but grow solemn . While walking , Lawrence said , " I'm sure you've deduced by now that I'm from the Legion , Ashton . " Ashton nodded .

That was easy enough to figure out , but he didn't want to have any dealings with the Legion . He was certain that once he came into contact with them , it would lead to endless trouble . Coming to a stop , Lawrence said to Ashton , " Allow me to introduce myself properly . My name is Lawrence Clarkson , and I'm the head of the Legion . " Ashton's eyes widened at once . Although he'd guessed that Lawrence was no ordinary man , he never would've thought that the old man was the powerful head of the Legion ! That was equivalent to being the head of a government department !

Why would such an important figure show an interest in him ? And why would Lawrence know about the peculiar side effects he had when he underwent a cultivation breakthrough ? Ashton had many questions to ask , but he was certain about one thing - Lawrence harbored no ill will toward him . 1/2 +25 Bonus Lawrence continued , " This is the Legion Cemetery . Like the name implies , it's where the deceased legionnaires are buried . Every single one of them buried here sacrificed their life for the country . This is something that every legionnaire takes pride in .

" As he led Ashton further into the cemetery , he remarked emphatically , " Only the best of the best get to become a legionnaire . At its peak , the Legion overshadowed both the Dominion Vanguard and the Empyrean Sentinel We were an unstoppable force , commanding all four regional militaries . " We slaughtered so many of our enemies that the criminal organizations abroad all trembled at the thought of us . Just the sight of us was akin to seeing God . But alas ... ' Lawrence sighed . " The Legion has fallen from grace , and most of us have died ...

" Ashton was deeply affected by Lawrence's sharing . " As soon as this legionnaire here became an SS - ranked expert , he joined a battle on the border and killed three SS - ranked experts all by himself before dying of exhaustion . " " This legionnaire here was an SSS - ranked expert . He sacrificed his life to take down a high - ranking member of the Obsidian Council , successfully stopping the new drug invented by the organization from entering our country, " " This legionnaire , along with 30 others , fought for three whole days and nights to reclaim Casoria's territory ...

but they all fell in battle , and their bodies were never brought home . " " With his dying breath , this legionnaire destroyed his cultivation core to take down the leader of the Divine Sanctum , ensuring that our western neighbors dare not cross our borders in recent years . " " As for this legionnaire ... " One by one , Lawrence listed out the heroic deeds of the legionnaires buried in the cemetery . The more Ashton heard , the graver his heart became . The peace that society enjoyed was built upon the lives of these legionnaires who cleared the path for them .

" Since its formation , the Legion numbered no more than 4,000 in total , but as of today , 3,621 of them have already died in battle . Fewer than 400 of us remain . " Moreover , this is even after the Legion relaxed its recruitment requirements . In the past , legionnaires like Hector and Eunice , the two you've met before , wouldn't have made the cut to join our ranks as legionnaires . " Adminj
