Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1240

Navi, seated at the center of the room, was languid. His outfit today was very eye-catching. His crimson pants and white top exuded a grace and nobility that contrasted sharply with the simple bamboo buildings of the village.

At this moment, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. I had seen countless luxuries before, but they paled compared to this. When I saw Navi sitting there like a king, it made sense that General Xavier would seek to eliminate him.

And Navi had dared to collude with an external alliance and join forces against the Triple Alliance, showing that he was very ambitious.

Navi was sitting there motionless. He had lost the courtesy he had shown when we visited his mansion last night. He now wore a strange smile that seemed out of place, with a flicker of evil cunning in his eyes.

That, along with this place's luxury, heightened his conceit as a landlord.

I never imagined how miraculous fate could be. I was a simple girl who had gone to university in Foswood and married an ordinary citizen. Everything should have been plain and normal, but because of a marriage upheaval, I embarked on this bizarre path and ended up in a foreign land where I had to face life-and-death situations.

If it weren't for the man beside me, I would have thought this was all just a dream.

Sometimes, I even wondered when I would wake up.

"Mr. Atlas! I'm surprised. You’re bold to enter my base!" Navi held a pipe in his hand as he looked at us.

He had a discordant smile on his face, and the light in his eyes was sharp.

Atlas smiled slightly but stayed remarkably composed. "Everyone knows that I always plan things meticulously. I know anything and everything. And your base is no longer a secret. You’re too full of yourself, Mr. Navi."

His remarks were flavored with provocation and reeked of contempt.

After settling me into a seat, Atlas unceremoniously sat down beside me. He crossed his legs lazily and looked at Navi. "I've come to see what kind of person the Non-Organization would dare send to challenge me."

Navi's mouth quirked. He stared at Atlas's handsome face and said softly, "You’re too kind."

"Far from it. There’s no way I wouldn’t be concerned since someone has imprisoned my father-in-law." My heart was warmed by Atlas's very reasonable explanation.

"Men's affairs are none of my business, but what you’ve done is not something a man would do. Even if I am just a woman, I can still see that it’s wrong!" I retorted mercilessly.

I wasn’t going to be nice to a villain who imprisoned my loved ones. I was already being exceptionally composed by sitting here and facing this despicable scum.

His face darkened. "It's all for the sake of the person in my hands!"

"The person in your hands?" I snorted. "You must think you're some kind of overlord!"

"I don’t dare call myself an overlord, but don't forget, Mrs. Chloe, this is my territory!" Navi's expression darkened as he spoke icily.

Then he turned to Atlas, ignoring me.

“I’m sure you haven’t rushed here overnight just to visit my place, Mr. Atlas.” Navi changed the topic in an attempt to cut to the chase.
