Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry? Novel

Ashton's threat rang out like a thunderclap . In an instant , every single expert in the Gale Assembly began unleashing a chilling bloodlust , eyeing Ashton as if he were already a dead man . Since its founding , no one had ever dared speak so arrogantly to someone from the Gale Assembly . They were essentially an alliance of countless powerful experts . In terms of sheer strength , the organization had already exceeded the Holt Crew .

Apart from the man everyone called the Sage , it seemed like the Gale Assembly was slowly becoming the most powerful faction of Javonbury's criminal underworld . " Such insolence ! " Mitch Harris , a burly A - ranked expert , stepped forward , emanating a fearsome presence . " Let me teach this arrogant punk a lesson , Mr. Suther ! " Before Cadence could respond , Mitch lunged at Ashton , his eyes flashing coldly . His foot pushed against the floor as he launched himself forward . Gathering all of his strength in his right hand , he shouted , " Get a taste of my Piercing Strike !

" The air seemed to howl as his palm shot forward . " What a mighty attack ! Mitch has gotten even more powerful ! " " That bastard's a goner for sure now ! " " Huh ? Why isn't he trying to avoid the attack ? Has he decided to accept his fate and die ? " Ashton's dark eyes gleamed . From his perspective , Mitch's attack seemed incredibly slow . He could easily avoid the attack , but there was no need for that . With just a flicker of his mind , the inner energy within him surged and formed a blade out of thin air . It struck right in the center of Mitch's hand with lightning speed .

" Inner energy manipulation ! " Everyone in the headquarters gasped . No one expected a young man like Ashton to be an S - ranked expert ! " Back away ! " Mitch immediately sensed that things had gone south for him , but by the time he tried to dodge the track , it was already too late . Gritting his teeth , he mustered every ounce of his strength and channeled it into his palm , determined to block the attack even at the cost of suffering an internal injury .

Alas , the moment the blade formed of inner energy hit him , all of his strength was reduced to nothing , like a bubble that had burst . The biting inner energy sank right into Mitch's hand , and without any sign of slowing down , it traveled straight to his chest . Instantly , blood began to pour out of every one of his orifices . With a heavy thud , Mitch's body , which had been airborne just a moment ago , collapsed onto the floor . He was drained of all energy , and his blood began pooling around him . He could no longer continue the fight .
