The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1091
“He wouldn’t have to die if only he was modest!”
“There’s a price to challenging the Fields‘ authority!”
The crowd sighed and turned to look at Leon as though they were looking at a fool.
Leon reached the Intermediate Overlord State and though he might not be as powerful as Walter, he was young and far more flexible and had better reflexes compared to Walter. If he stalled, Walter might not be able to do anything to him; however, not only had Leon challenged dozens of martial artists from the Fields, he tried to fight Walter with his true energy when he was clearly on the inferior end of such a stand–off.
‘How foolish! If Leon dies at the hands of Elder Fields and Denzel, he asks for it!‘ The others thought.
Under the watchful and condescending eyes of the crowd, Leon’s Double Attack met Walter’s attack.
He barely managed to fend off Walter’s attack with his spiritual energy and just as he was about to run out of spiritual energy, he summoned his true energy at the Initial Innate State level, which tore through Walter’s energy and darted toward his chest.
“Wh- What on earth is this?!” Walter gaped.
He never anticipated Leon to be capable of launching another attack when he ran out of energy. Walter tried to dodge, but also exhausted his energy in the initial attack like Leon and could only watch as Leon’s true energy slammed against his chest.
Walter spat blood as he was sent flying. A sharp pain pierced through him and he immediately realized that he suffered severe internal injuries.
In truth, Leon’s power level was merely at the Initial Innate State and he should have never been able to hurt Walter, who was in the Intermediate Overlord State.
However, as strong as Walter might be, he was still made of blood and flesh. He was too old and took Leon’s Double Attack directly, so it was normal that he was injured.
“H- How’s this possible?!”
Jaws dropped around them as everyone gaped at Leon in disbelief.
None of them ever expected Leon would triumph over Walter in power, and manage to injure Walter in one single move.
Denzel, who waited for Leon to be defeated so that he could attack Leon while he was weak, gaped at the sight. Since Walter did not manage to defeat Leon, he had no chance of attacking Leon.
Meanwhile, on the other end.
George already leaped into the air to rush to Leon’s rescue, but came close to falling back onto the ground when he saw how Leon defeated Walter within the blink of an eye.
He immediately backed away and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. “Leon beat Walter? Am I seeing this right?”
He knew that Leon only reached the Intermediate Overlord State recently and could hardly be as powerful as
Walter, so George could not understand how Leon managed such sorcery.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1092
He would have never believed it if he did not see it with his own eyes.
Next to him, Vincent was also shaken.
He did not know that Leon reached the Overlord State and thought that he was on the Peak Supreme State at best.
However, Walter, who was one of the top martial artists in the city, was defeated with ease by Leon before his eyes.
“H- How on earth does Leon manage this?” Ruth, too, gasped in shock.
She thought that Leon was being arrogant, but after seeing how he defeated Walter, she realized that he had the confidence that he would succeed.
She underestimated him when he was far stronger than she imagined him to be.
“No! This is impossible! This isn’t real!” Harold’s eyes widened at the sight before him.
The higher he had his hope up, the harder the fall was.
He fantasized about the scene where Walter and Denzel ambushed Leon and eliminate him right there and then, yet the reality shattered his hope.
Not only was Leon safe and sound, he managed to injure Walter.
The last hope burning within Harold’s heart went out that very instant.
“Wow!”
“It’s no wonder that Leon dared to challenge the group of martial artists from the Fields!”
“He wasn’t being arrogant. He is capable of defeating them!”
The others sobered and were all shaken to the cores by Leon’s power.
It was only at this moment that they finally realized that if even Walter struggled to win against Leon, the other Fields could hardly pose a threat to Leon.
In the face of such absolute power, the Fields were nothing but a band of insignificant individuals.
“Hang on! Elder Fields reached the Intermediate Overlord State a few years back and if Leon can defeat him. in one move, does that mean Leon is in the Advanced Overlord State?” Someone from the crowd questioned.
“What?”
“The Advanced Overlord State?”
“It couldn’t be! So, Leon hasn’t just reached the Initial Overlord State, nor is he in the Intermediate Overlord State. He went all the way up to the Advanced Overlord State!”
The crowd stirred in shock.
Everyone knew that Leon was only on the Peak Supreme State a few days ago and he must have just reached a breakthrough.
If he reached the Intermediate Overlord State, he would have never been able to defeat, not to mention injure Walter, unless he reached the Advanced Overlord State instead.
“My goodness! He reached the Advanced Overlord State!”
“He’s still so young. How can a person be that talented?”
“Forget being the brightest of his generation. He is the top martial artist of all of Springfield City!”
Chaos erupted among the crowd.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1093
Up until that moment, even the best martial artist in the city was in the Intermediate Overlord State and since Leon reached the Advanced Overlord State, he surpassed George, Walter, and Benedict.
Leon took a big leap and became the one and only king of the city with his power, and everyone else would. live at his mercy from that moment onward.
Shocked, the others started studying Leon with fear and respect.
“The Advanced Overlord State? How’d he do it?”
George was shaken.
Though he did not know if Leon truly reached the Advanced Overlord State, he knew that Walter’s power was on the same level as his and Benedict’s. If Leon could injure Walter within a blink of an eye, he could do the same to George and Benedict as well.
It would not be an overstatement to say that Leon was the king of Springfield City.
Most importantly, a few days ago when Harold set up a trap for Leon, Leon was only on the Peak Supreme State and it was something that George confirmed with his own eyes.
At the time, Leon still needed the Collins‘ protection to barely survive. However, within a matter of days, Leon rose to the Advanced Overlord State, skipping the Semi–Overlord, Initial Overlord, and Intermediate. Overlord States.
It was a miracle.
From that moment onward, not only would Leon not be in need of Collins‘ protection, George realized that even a man of his status would be at Leon’s mercy.
The others, including Iris, Ruth, Vincent, Albert, and Gilbert, were all utterly stunned.
Albert and Gilbert recalled how they plotted to break Iris and Leon up once again and it was at this very moment that they realized what fools they were.
Leon was practically a superhuman for reaching the Advanced Overlord State and on top of that, he had many talents including his skills in medicine and alchemy. Other families would kill to marry their daughters to Leon, yet they tried to keep Iris away from Leon time and time again.
“How can this happen?” Harold, on the other hand, was still struggling to cope with reality.
Back when Leon reached the Realm of a Supreme Master, he sensed what Leon was capable of and knew that Leon would soon be a threat if Harold did not eliminate him in time.
Since that moment, he plotted against Leon, hoping to nib his talents in the bud.
To his bewilderment, he underestimated Leon’s potential. Despite all his effort, he failed to destroy Leon and could only watch as Leon became the most powerful martial artist in the city.
After Leon’s display of his strength, Harold knew that even if Leon might not be able to kill all the martial artists in the Fields, the Fields would not be capable of hurting Leon, let alone killing him.
Harold’s heart sank in despair.
Meanwhile, on the stage.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1094
Under the respectful eyes of others, Leon stood tall as he kept his trembling hand behind his back.
In truth, he only reached the Intermediate Overlord State instead of the Advanced Overlord State as the others were led to believe.
He only managed to defeat Walter because he possessed both spiritual and true energies, with the aid of the Double Attack.
Still, Walter was slightly more powerful than him and though he barely managed to fend off Walter’s true energy with his spiritual energy, he took damage to his arm.
Naturally, compared to the state Walter was in, Leon’s injury was hardly severe.
“Walter Field, take this!”
Once his arm slightly recovered from the initial impact, Leon’s fist charged toward Walter yet again.
“H- Hold him off!!” Walter shouted in fear.
If he could not defeat Leon when he was at full strength, he would be helpless if he was attacked by Leon when he was injured.
Completely forgoing his pride as the leader of one of the Four Major Families, he rolled on the ground in an attempt to get away from Leon.
However, Leon was simply far too formidable and no matter how hard Walter tried, he could not escape Leon.
“Don’t you dare, brat!” Seeing how Walter stared death in the eye under Leon’s attack, Denzel gasped and darted toward Leon from behind his back, hoping to distract Leon from attacking Walter.
“Know your place!” Leon snorted and launched another punch at Denzel.
“Baam!”
The spiritual energy around his fist instantly tore through Denzel’s attack and continued to dart toward his chest.
Denzel knew that he was no match for Leon and only leaped into action to help Walter.
He immediately backed away to dodge Leon’s attack, but he miscalculated the difference between their power and though he reacted in time, the aftermath of Leon’s attack still struck him.
“Ugh!” He spat a mouthful of blood and fell backward, paling.
His effort was not wasted, though. He managed to buy Walter enough time to narrowly escape Leon’s attack and crawl up from the ground.
“Let’s go!” Walter shouted in fear.
Like the others, he also managed to conclude that Leon reached the Advanced Overlord State and in the face. of such absolute strength, no one in the Fields could win against Leon. If they stayed, they would meet their demise.
Instantly, Walter lost all will to fight and hurried outside despite the overwhelming pain in his chest.
“Running so soon? You won’t get away!” Leon sneered and leaped toward Walter.
“How dare you?!”
The other Fields snapped out of the initial shock and launched themselves at Leon while firing up their true energy, forming a powerful defensive wall to shield Walter.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1095
“Damn It!” Leon’s expression darkened,
The Fields outnumbered him and since there were a few Semi–Overlords in the group, the combined strength of the Fields was not to be underestimated.
Though Leon was powerful, he did not dare to face such an attack directly.
He gave up on chasing after Walter and backed away, dodging all the attacks from the other Fields, before launching a Double Attack again at the Fields.
The Fields closest to Leon were instantly sent flying off, all suffering severe injuries.
Leon was never a cruel man who enjoyed killing, and he knew that a massacre was the last thing he needed as it might catch the eye of the Dragon Corps.
Since he showed mercy, the Fields only suffered injuries and none of them died from his attack.
Walter took the chance to dart toward Denzel, before grabbing him and hurrying away.
Once Walter and Denzel succeeded in running, the other Fields immediately followed.
“You Fields sure run fast!” Leon scoffed.
He knew that he was only slightly stronger than Walter and did not truly reach the Advanced Overlord State. Even if he chased after them, he would not be able to eliminate Walter and the other Fields.
All aside, he only intended to teach the Fields a lesson and since both Walter and Denzel, along with other Fields were heavily injured, he achieved his goal and there was no need for him to go after the Fields.
“Walter Fields, this is the last warning! If the Fields dare to plot against me or anyone close to me, I’ll destroy the Fields down to the very last member!” He shouted, his voice laced with his energy so that it could be heard miles away.
Walter could not help but shiver.
After learning that Leon reached the Advanced Overlord State, he would never dare to plot against Leon again.
However, Leon injured the leader of the Fields, along with many other members. This deepened the grudge they held against Leon and Walter refused to let Leon go unpunished for this.
‘We haven’t placed all the cards on deck just yet! This failure means nothing!‘ Walter thought to himself.” Let’s see who’s laughing toward the end!‘
The Youngs, the Lowes, and the Collins fell into silence as they watched the Fields run.
A lot of them knew Leon’s background and how he was once a powerless orphan. None of them respected Leon, yet he managed to grow from a man whose name held no power at all, to the most powerful martial artist in Springfield City in months. Even the Fields and Walter, who was one of the best martial artists, were forced to run when facing Leon on his own.
“Harold, your help has run away and now, no one can save you!”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1096
“It’s about time we settle this score between us!” Leon sneered and walked toward Harold; each step he took felt like a hammer slamming against Harold’s heart.
“Leon Wolf, wh- what are you going to do?” He paled and quivered, the arrogance on his face finally vanishing.
“I’ve promised to kill Jacob first, before finishing you as well to avenge Iris and Louisa! I’m a man of my words!” Leon gritted out ferociously.
“What?! You wouldn’t dare!” Sensing the malicious aura oozing off of Leon, Harold gasped in fear.
“You’ll find out soon if I dare to kill you!” Leon said fiercely.
Harold was not like the Fields. Though the Fields plotted against Leon as well, they focused their target on Leon and did not harm the people around him; whereas Harold did whatever he could think of to eliminate Leon, including capturing Iris and Ruth, which almost cost Louisa her life in the process.
Harold was the mastermind of all that happened and he must die.
Iris was his woman and Louisa was her cousin, which made her his family as well.
From the moment Harold and Jacob plotted to harm Iris and Louisa, their demise was destined.
Leon might be able to let the Fields go, but he would never show mercy to Harold.
“No!” Seeing how Leon was about to kill Harold, Daisy paled helplessly.
Daisy helped Harold by manipulating the Youngs to attack Leon, hoping to kill him. Since Leon won, she and Harold fell at Leon’s mercy and were bound to suffer for their sins.
As the Northern King, Harold immediately regained his composure, unlike Daisy. “Leon, don’t bother trying to scare me! I’m in the Overlord State and the Dragon Corps keep a close eye on me! If you kill me, they won’t spare you!” Harold warned coldly.
All territories had the rules that applied to them and all martial artists were under the control of the Dragon Corps.
Harold and Daisy turned Albert into a vegetative state instead of killing him precisely because they did not. want to alert the Dragon Corps.
Leon would face the same issue.
As the Northern King and an Overlord, Harold’s name was known even to the Dragon Corps and Leon would be punished for killing him.
“Oh!”
George, Vincent, and the others instantly recognized the severity of the situation.
“Leon, Harold Lowe’s right!”
among us to “The Dragon Crops have to manage the community of martial artists and maintain order prevent martial artists from killing or harming the innocent. If you kill Harold, the Dragon Crops may punish you for it! Don’t act rashly!” George said.
“Yeah! Leon, Harold is completely lost. You can just destroy his power and let him rot on his own!”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1097
Vincent said.
“No! Harold ordered Jacob to carry out his dirty work and came close to getting Louisa and Iris dead. I will kill him right here and now to seek revenge on their behalf!” Leon said with determination.
Though the Dragon Corps had its rules, he also had his values and rules. Since Harold dared to harm his woman and the people he cared about, Harold must die.
“But-”
George and Vincent still wanted to talk Leon out of it, but Leon simply interrupted them and said, “That’s enough! Harold Lowe, prepare to die!” He scoffed, before launching a punch at Harold at the speed of lightning.
“What?!” Harold was terrified.
He never expected Leon to show no fear toward the Dragon Corps and to intend on killing him.
Panicking, he backed away from Leon’s attack despite the pain that threatened to overwhelm him. However, the difference in strength was too big to overcome when he was heavily injured, so no matter how hard he tried, Leon managed to get closer and closer by the second.
“No! Leon, if you kill me, the Dragon Corps will have your head for it,” Harold muttered through quivering lips as he tried to make his last attempt to plead for his life.
“Maybe, but I don’t intend on letting you go anyway! Die!” The spiritual energy gathering on Leon’s fist transformed into an invisible blade and pierced Harold through the chest, leaving a fist–sized hole.
Harold widened his eyes and dropped dead, unable to believe that Leon would not hesitate to kill him. the very last moment.
up until
As his conscience faded, he regretted making Leon his enemy, or he and his son would have never died such. horrible deaths, but it was all too late.
“Harold!” Daisy called out, before running over to hold Harold’s body in her arms in tears.
Gilbert, who remained quiet the entire time, finally lost his temper.
Daisy was his legal wife and not only did she cheat on him, making him raise another man’s son, but she also cried her heart out for her lover in front of everyone’s watchful eyes.
Humiliated, Gilbert could almost taste the contempt in the eyes around him and was instantly filled with rage.
“Daisy, you vicious b*tch! You’ve plotted with Harold Lowe and put the Youngs in this position. Now that he’s dead, you’ll pay your price as well!” He gritted out.
would
“Gilbert Young, a useless scum like you has no right to boss me around! Without Leon’s help, you have never managed to defeat Harold! You just got lucky and had a great daughter, who later found you a talented son–in–law.”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1098
Daisy spat resentfully.
Back when Leon first started dating Iris, she could already tell that he was a potential threat to her and Harold, so she manipulated Albert and Gilbert into breaking the two apart.
Unfortunately, Iris risked her own life to get Leon back and with his help, Daisy and Harold eventually lost the battle.
It was hardly an exaggeration to say that the Youngs only managed to succeed because of Leon, and Gilbert had nothing to do with their victory.
Daisy had no respect for a man as useless and short–sighted as Gilbert.
“Shut it! You b*tch! I’m going to kill you!” Furious, Gilbert gathered his true energy in his palm, desperate to tear Daisy apart.
“You don’t get to kill me! Now that Harold’s dead, I don’t plan on living on my own!” Daisy said and narrowed her eyes viciously, before pulling out a dagger, “Harold, wait for me. I’m coming with you.”
She gave Harold one last lingering glance, before stabbing herself in the chest.
Right before she drew her last breath, Daisy turned to look at Leon pleadingly. “Leon, I want to ask something of you. Harold and I, uhm, we had this coming and we can’t blame anyone but ourselves, but Royce is innocent. Please spare him!”
“And if I refuse?” Leon said expressionlessly.
“No! I know that you’re not the kind of man who would kill innocent people. If you kill him, I’ll haunt you for life,” She smiled faintly, before collapsing into Harold’s arms and closing her eyes forever.
Harold’s and Daisy’s deaths brought the entire fiasco to an end.
Daisy committed suicide to follow Harold after his death, and Leon was slightly touched by the love between them. Perhaps he was still traumatized from how Iris came close to killing herself for him some time ago, so he somehow felt heavy with sorrow.
All aside, he did not pity Daisy and Harold at all.
Though it all started with Gilbert stealing Daisy away from Harold, he was not aware of the relationship between Harold and Daisy and did not break them apart on purpose. Whereas, he was cheated on by his wife for years and raised another man’s son for decades, so he was the true victim of the entire event.
Harold and Daisy did unspeakable things to seek revenge against the Youngs, but also for their gains, so they did not deserve sympathy.
If Leon did not come across a chance of a breakthrough, he would have been the one who died at the hands of Harold and Daisy. Even Louisa, Iris, and Gilbert would die..
Leon was far more merciful compared to Harold and Daisy.
Just then, Jackson and the other Lowes fell onto their knees before Leon.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1099
“M- Mister Wolf, the Northern King is dead and we are just his subordinates. We were only following orders. We never mean to participate in any of these. Please have mercy and spare our lives!” Jackson and the other Lowes kneeled and pleaded.
Leon withdrew from his thoughts and turned to look at Vincent. “Uncle Vincent, I’ll leave them to you! Please look into their background and punish anyone who has done unspeakable deeds! As for the ones who are innocent, please let them go!”
“Sure. I’ll go now, then!” Vincent nodded, before leaving with his men and the Lowes.
Once they left, Melvin, the elders, and members of the Youngs kneeled before Albert.
Leon was Iris’s boyfriend and since he reached the Advanced Overlord State and defeated Daisy and Harold, Albert, Gilbert, and Iris would be able to return to the Youngs with his help, especially when there were still a lot of members among the Youngs who supported Albert.
At that very moment, Albert was once again the leader of the Youngs.
“Albert, I was wrong. Please show mercy seeing how we’re family,” Melvin pleaded.
He thought that Leon was far too weak to compete with Harold and placed his bet on Harold, only to be proven wrong.
Leon somehow reached the Advanced Overlord State, marking his place on the very top of the food chain and since Harold also died at the hands of Leon, Melvin recognized that he lost everything.
He was filled with regret but knew that it was all too late.
“So you’re talking about family now. Why didn’t you think of your family earlier on? Back when you were helping Harold in all the evil plans he had against Iris and Leon, why didn’t you stop for a second to think that we are your family?” Albert roared, getting increasingly frustrated as he spoke.
He would have killed Melvin right there and then if Melvin was not his brother by blood.
“Albert, I was wrong! I know that now. Please give me a chance to make it up to you,” Melvin said in shame.
“No way!” Albert scoffed and paused to think, as though he took the time to summon his courage. “Melvin, you’re my brother. You may not care, but I can’t repeat your mistake! Out of my love for you, I’ll spare your life. From now on, we are going our separate ways! The descendants of the first and second bloodlines are cutting all ties!”
“What?! Albert, don’t do that!” Melvin gaped when he realized that Albert wanted to chase the descendants of the second bloodline out of the family.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1100
“Heed my words, Youngs, I hereby announce that Melvin and all his descendants are to be denounced from the family. They will surrender the right to ever call themselves Youngs from now on! Any member who supported them can choose to go with them. I won’t stop any of you!” Albert announced through the sorrow
that overwhelmed him.
After a series of events, he realized that the Youngs were rotten from within. He might have been focusing too much on the gain of the family and forgot to emphasize the bond between families, causing the descendants to grow up to be manipulative and calculative.
It was never too late to change and since he now knew the issue of his family, he planned on reconstructing the family. Though that might break the Youngs apart, Albert believed that Leon would lead the Youngs to glory soon.
“Well,” Seeing how Albert was determined, two of the elders and some other members stood behind Melvin
and Jonah after a few moments of hesitation.
They all supported Melvin and feared retaliation from Albert and Leon if they chose to stay, so they decided
to leave with Melvin instead.
Members of Albert’s descendants, their supporters, and those who did not pick a side all chose to stay.
“Alright. Since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll obey,” Melvin sighed, feeling as though he aged over within a matter of minutes.
“Very well. You may all leave!” Albert said, his voice quivering as he struggled to remain composed.
“Albert, Leon, thank you for sparing our lives. Allow me to bow one last time at you. I’ll take my descendants and leave Springfield City. This is goodbye,” Melvin bowed deeply, before hobbling away with his descendants.
With that, one of the Four Major Families fell apart.
“Leon, I’m sorry for letting Melvin and the others go without asking for your consent. I hope you won’t be angry with me,” Albert turned to look at Leon apologetically.
He knew that Melvin and the other Youngs helped Harold in his plot against Leon repeatedly and Leon came close to dying a few times.
He chased Melvin and the others out to protect them from Leon’s wrath.
“Don’t worry, Elder Young. This is an internal affair within your family and you can be the judge of everything. I don’t mind,” Leon smiled.
Though Melvin and the others were his enemies, they were still related to Iris by blood and for her sake, he would have never murdered any of them in cold blood.
Since Albert already denounced them from the family, it was a just end and Leon was satisfied with it.
“Good! Thank you, Leon, thank you for all the things you’ve done for us. Without you, we would have never been able to come back to our home,” Albert said earnestly.
He was not as foolish as Gilbert and after witnessing all the things Leon did for the Youngs, he was moved by
Leon’s sincerity.
