The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1161
“I broke through! I became a Supreme Master!” Lionel laughed excitedly after he stood up.
“This is amazing!”
Lentus and the other Wrights were very emotional as well. All of them looked excited.
Seeing was believing!
After witnessing the effects of the Pure Energy Pill for the first time, they were shocked and elated!
The Wrights were just in the middle among the major families in Seacove City. They only had an Advanced Power Class Method. They were able to reach the Semi Overlord State at most. It was incredibly difficult to reach the Overlord State!
If Lionel was able to reach the Overlord State in the future thanks to this amazing opportunity, he would have a chance to create his own Ultimate Progressive Class Method!
Then, their future generations would greatly benefit from that, and the family would have a bright future ahead!
“Mister Wolf, thank you for helping me become a Supreme Master!” Lionel said loudly, kneeling in front of Leon and truly expressing his gratitude.
As he knelt, Lentus and the others did as well.
Mister Wolf, we’ve offended you so much, but you aren’t blaming us for it at all. Instead, you helped my grandson become a Supreme Master! Our family will forever remember what you’ve done for us,” Lentus said sincerely.
Earlier, they just knelt because of the pressure from Leon and Quinton. This time, they were doing it sincerely. The gratitude and respect they had for Leon were immense!
“Elder Wright, you’re too kind. Please, get up, everyone! Also, I have a piece of advice for all of you. If you keep on doing evil, then it will catch up to you. I hope your family will learn your lesson from this!” Leon helped Lentus up, and the other Wrights stood up as well.
“Mister Wolf, don’t worry. Our family will take this to heart,” Lentus promised.
“Alright, the matter is settled then. Everything has been resolved happily! Mister Wolf, let’s go. It’s rare for you to be in Seacove City. We should have a few drinks and catch up,” Quinton said with a smile before he pulled Leon’s arm, preparing to leave.
“Mister Hunt, don’t be in such a hurry. I still have something I need to do!” Leon said.
“What is it?” Quinton let go of Leon in confusion.
“It’s Mister Kesh here! Everything that happened today was because of him!” Leon’s sharp gaze went right to Luke, who was hiding in a corner. His eyes were incredibly murderous!
Luke was the cause of everything. Now that his conflict with the Wrights was resolved, it was time to settle the score with Luke!
“No!”
“Mister Wolf, I know my mistakes now. Please spare me!”
Luke was shocked. He hurriedly knelt and pleaded for mercy.
“Spare you? Do you think that’s possible?” Leon sneered.
He was always been a merciful person. If Luke just tried to target Elegante for the sake of profits, he would not have bothered being petty.
The problem was that Luke set his sights on Iris and Ruth as well.
There was no way he could let anyone who did that off easily!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1162
“Elder Wright, this guy is a subordinate of your family. You can deal with him and you please,” Leon looked at Lentus.
“Yes, alright!” Lentus was full of hatred at that moment. If Luke was not blind and offended Leon, Wrights would not have lost so much after fighting Leon.
the
Just for that alone, there was no way he would have let Luke off easily even if Leon did not say anything!
“Men, break his limbs and feed him to the dogs!”
Lentus waved, and two of the experts from the family walked forward, grabbing Luke.
“Ah!”
Luke cried out in agony as his limbs were broken by the experts. After that, they dragged him out and threw him to the streets!
Seeing that, Lisa felt like her emotions were incredibly turbulent. She could not calm down.
Earlier, she thought that she would not be able to escape being tainted by Luke, that her beautiful marriage and her happiness would be ruined!
Yet, she never would have dreamed that the president of a small cosmetics company like Leon would not only be able to save her from danger but even stand up against Luke’s tremendous backers, the Wrights. The Wrights even knelt to apologize to Leon in the end!
Everything that happened shocked her to the core!
“Miss Carter, from now on, you’ll be the manager of Wright Enterprises. We’ll leave this company to you!” Leon said with a smile. His voice snapped Lisa out of her thoughts.
“What? Mister Wolf, y–you’re promoting me to the manager of the company?” Lisa was shocked, not believing her ears.
“Yes, that’s right!” Leon nodded.
The Wrights already gave Wright Enterprises to him. He naturally needed to make some personnel adjustments.
Lisa was the only one he knew from the company, and Lisa’s attitude and service were quite good. He had a good impression of her.
He would temporarily leave the company to her and see if she would be able to take up the challenge..
“Mister Wolf, thank you so much. Not only did you save me, but you also trust me so much as well. I owe you a huge debt. I’ll never forget it.”
Lisa was incredibly emotional. She knelt in front of Leon and constantly thanked him.
Leon saved her from Luke and helped her seek justice. She even got something out of it all, getting promoted from a mere secretary to the manager of the whole company.
All of that was thanks to Leon!
It was obvious how thankful for Leon she was!
“Get up quickly! Miss Carter, I have a good impression of you. Make sure you do well and don’t disappoint me!” Leon reached out to help Lisa up.
“Mister Wolf, don’t worry. Even if I have to exhaust myself, I won’t betray your expectations!” Lisa said gratefully. There was a hint of resolve in her eyes.
After that, Quinton helped Lentus transfer Wright Enterprises to Leon, dealing with all the paperwork.
Wright Enterprises was even renamed Wolf Enterprises, becoming a company under Elegante’s banner.
After busying themselves for the whole afternoon, Leon invited Quinton over to the hotel to thank him. The two of them chatted and drank until Quinton left at night.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1163
In a luxurious suite in the hotel, Iris and Ruth helped a drunken Leon to the room.
It was already late, so Ruth left Iris behind to handle Leon while she returned to her room to rest.
After Leon laid down on the bed, Iris wiped Leon’s face with a wet towel. She took off Leon’s jacket and shoes, helping Leon carefully.
“Leon, get some sleep, I’ll go back to my room to rest,” Iris gently pulled up the sheets for Leon before turning around to leave.
However, before she could even take a step forward, her wrist was grabbed by Leon.
She turned around to see that Leon already opened his eyes at some point. His eyes were incredibly clear, not looking drunk at all!
“Leon, you’re not drunk?” Iris was surprised.
“Of course! With my strength, there’s no way regular alcohol would get me drunk,” Leon said.
“If you weren’t drunk, then why were you pretending to be?” Iris asked curiously.
“If I didn’t do that, how would I have fooled you into taking care of me?” Leon said meaningfully.
After Leon and Iris had that magical night, he treated Louisa for the next few days. So he never had a chance
to be intimate with Iris.
Coming to Seacove City, he planned on just getting two rooms. Iris and he would share one, while Ruth
would stay in the other.
However, Iris was too shy. Since Ruth was there, Iris insisted on having a room each.
He was naturally not very happy about that, so he pulled a trick to get Iris to stay in his room.
“W–what are you trying to do?” Iris’s heart shook a little, quickly understanding what Leon wanted. After that, there was a blush on her face.
“What do you think? Iris, it’s getting late. Let’s get some rest!” Leon said passionately. He pulled Iris into his
arms.
“H–how could we? What if Ruth finds out?!”
Iris was completely red in the face. She struggled symbolically a few times but failed to escape Leon’s warm embrace.
“So what? We’re lovers. It’s fine even if Ruth finds out!” Leon said, unperturbed.
“But-” Iris was still hesitant.
“There’s nothing to be afraid of! We have nothing to hide anyway. From now on, let’s stay together. We’ll never be apart!” Leon said firmly, pushing Iris down.
“Leon, y–you reek of alcohol. You should take a shower first!”
Iris was completely embarrassed. She tried one last struggle, wanting to leave while Leon was in the shower.
“Alright, let’s go together,” Leon said.
“What? That!”
Iris was stunned.
Leon did not care if LIris agreed or not. He jumped off the bed and immediately picked Iris up, walking to the
bathroom!
That night was set to be a perfect and beautiful night.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1164
The next day, the sun was very bright.
In the room, Leon lay on the bed, and Iris was still in his arms. Both of them slept very well.
At that moment, they heard some intense knocking that woke both of them up.
“Leon, why aren’t you up yet? The sun’s already up!” Ruth’s unhappy voice came from the other side of the
door.
“Ruth, why is she here? Leon, let’s hurry up and get up. I don’t want her to see this!”
Iris was shocked. She immediately pushed the covers away, planning on getting up to put on her clothes.
However, she blushed completely red when she saw the scene beneath the covers. She hurriedly pulled them back up again, hiding her figure!
“Iris, you’re so beautiful!” Leon praised.
Even though it was just a fleeting glimpse, his eyes were still red hot from the sight. He held Iris tightly.
“Don’t touch anything. Ruth is just outside. You should just get up,” Iris said, unable to hide her
embarrassment.
“Who cares about her? It’s so early and she’s waking her up. She doesn’t act like a lady at all. Let’s ignore her! “Leon said unhappily.
“Leon, what did you say about me?”
At that moment, he heard Ruth’s voice. She walked right through the main hall and went to the bedroom
from the outside.
The six of them looked at each other with their eyes wide. Everyone was stunned!
“Iris, w–why are you here?” Ruth gaped.
“I-”
Iris’s blush reached her ears. She was too embarrassed to say anything. After that, she hid under the covers
like an ostrich, not wanting to face anyone.
“What are you saying? Iris is my girlfriend. Isn’t it normal for her to be with me?!” Leon said in annoyance.
“That-” Ruth opened her mouth, but had nothing to say about it.
After what happened the last time, Ruth already knew the extent of Leon and Iris’s physical relationship.
It was just that seeing the two of them in bed still gave her a shock.
“Ruth, this is my room. How did you come in?” Leon said unhappily.
“Isn’t that easy?” Ruth waved the key card in her hand with a pleased expression.
Leon’s face darkened, finally remembering that Ruth was the one to open the door when he feigned drunkenness. After that, Ruth took the key away.
“What do you want? You’re pestering me so early in the morning,” Leon said unhappily.
Ruth finally remembered what she was here for. She said excitedly, “Leon, you and Iris get up quickly!”
“Seacove City is famous for its sights. It’s rare for us to be here. I want to go sightseeing!”
“No! I don’t have the time to play around with you!” Leon immediately refused.
He just got Wolf Enterprises from the Wrights. He planned on going to the company to understand how everything worked. He had no time to accompany Ruth!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1166
“Leon, could they all be here for the Snow Lotus?” Iris asked with concern.
She knew that Leon came over to the auction specifically for the Snow Lotus.
If all of them were here for it, there would be a lot more competition for Leon. It was not a good thing!
“Yes, it’s possible!” Leon frowned. He found his heart sinking a bit, worried that something would happen.
with the Snow Lotus.
“Mister Wolf, don’t worry. They’re not here for the Snow Lotus!”
Quinton’s laughter could be heard at that moment. He brought a few security guards over from not far away.
Even though there were a lot of people attending the auction, Iris and Ruth were just too eye–catching in their beauty. They were attracting a lot of looks from the rich young men around them.
It would be more difficult for him to not notice Leon in the crowd!
“They’re not here for the Snow Lotus? Then what are they all aiming for?” Leon was shocked to hear that.
“They’re here for a grand treasure from the auction,” Quinton explained.
“What treasure?” Leon, Iris, and Ruth were uncertain when they heard that.
“I don’t know the details of the situation, but based on what we found out, it seems like a treasure hunter managed to find a Mirror of Aegis at an ancient site deep in the mountains,” Quinton explained everything
briefly.
There were a lot of heroes during ancient times that were magnificent people, and there were a lot of legends about them that were left behind.
When it came to ancient objects, they were usually referring to some predecessors or amazing figures who left things behind in their graves, cave dwellings, or anything similar.
After thousands of years, those objects were already lost to modern society. There were fewer and fewer of them remaining. All of them were usually found deep in the mountains that no one explored.
If anyone was lucky enough to find a place like that, they might be able to get one or two treasures that were
left behind!
The Mirror of Aegis that was being auctioned was precisely found by some lucky man who found an ancient
site.
Of course, the site might be real, but the treasure might not be!
The Mirror of Aegis might just be a regular object that was left behind. It might not really be some amazing treasure!
It might have been just a fabrication, a deliberate rumor spread to attract more people to the auction. It could also be a fake given by that treasure hunter for the sake of profit!
Even so, just because there was the possibility of an ancient treasure, it still attracted the gaze of most of the major families in Seacove City. They practically sent out all of their direct descendants of the younger
generation to attend the auction!
That was the reason why there was such a crowd!
“So that’s what happened!”
Leon realized something he heard all of that. He breathed a sigh of relief.
His primary goal for the auction was the Snow Lotus. As long as the crowd was not here for the Snow Lotus, it would be much easier for him to get it!
Nothing else was important!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1165
“No! You came to Seacove City before. You’re more familiar with the place. It’s no fun if you don’t come!” Ruth said unhappily.
“I said no! If you don’t need anything, can you stop causing me trouble?” Leon did not bother being nice to Ruth.
“You-”
Ruth was incredibly frustrated. After that, there was a glint in her eyes as she said slyly, “Leon, even if you don’t want to go, you should think about Iris!”
“It’s rare for her to be able to get out. Aren’t you going to go sightseeing with her and have some fun? How could you call yourself her boyfriend?!”
“That-”
Leon was speechless. After that, he looked down to see Iris still under the covers, peeking out slightly to look
at him.
It was obvious that Iris wanted to take the chance to tour Seacove City and take in the beautiful sights.
“Fine then!”
For Iris‘ sake, Leon quickly agreed. It would not be too late for him to visit the company after a couple of days!
After that, Iris left the bedroom and waited in the hall.
Not long after that, Leon and Iris both put on their clothes and walked out.
After breakfast, Leon drove out of the hotel. After that, he went around with the girls, going to the various
attractions.
The two of them had a lot of fun under his guidance.
Ruth in particular was more lively, unlike Iris who was usually more reserved. She was more open than Ruth, and made the trip much more interesting.
As for Leon, he was both happy and in pain.
He was happy because he was able to go sightseeing with the girl he loved. That was something amazing.
He was in pain because Iris and Ruth were just too pretty. No matter where they went, their looks would cause a stir. After that, countless men would shoot him with looks of envy and jealousy. They looked like they
wanted to eat him alive!
If looks could kill, he would have already died a thousand times!
Time always flew when you were having fun.
Just like that, Leon and the two girls played for a whole day. They only got back to the hotel at night, resting in preparation for the auction the next day.
The next morning was the day of the auction.
Leon had his sights on the Snow Lotus. He drove Iris and Ruth over bright and early.
The auction house was already full of people. There were many luxury cars parked everywhere, making for quite a sight.
It looked very impressive.
“There are so many people here,” Ruth said after looking at the crowd and the cars.
“How strange! Why are there so many people at the auction this time?” Leon was very surprised as well.
Even though it was very busy the last time he came to the auction with Cynthia as well, the place was still at least five or six times busier than the last!
That was completely out of his expectations!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1167
“Mister Hunt, if that’s the case, are you here for the treasure as well?” Iris immediately guessed why Quinton was there.
“Yes, that’s right!” Quinton said with a nod.
Since the treasure might not be real, the major families merely sent their younger descendants over. The older generation did not appear.
The Hunts did so as well, sending Quinton over to check things out.
“Please,” Leon pursed his lips.
If the treasure was real, there was no way they would be auctioning such a thing!
He felt like any talk of the treasure was probably just fabricated by the auction house, so he did not bother thinking about it.
“Mister Wolf, let’s go. Let’s talk about it inside!” Quinton said. After that, he went into the building with Leon and the others.
Just like the last time, Leon and Quinton both paid the deposit by the standard procedures of the auction house. They received their number plate and photo albums before they entered the venue.
At that moment, it was already packed inside. Looking around, there were at least three or four thousand people there. All of them were dressed like wealthy people. Most of them were here for the sake of the
treasure.
Leon, Quinton, and the others went to their seats based on their number plates and sat down.
The moment Leon’s group appeared, Iris and Ruth’s looks caused quite a stir. Quite a few of the young men all looked over with amazed expressions.
“How beautiful!”
“Who are those two beauties? They’re stunning. I’ve never seen anyone as beautiful as them in Seacove City
before!”
“That’s right. I wonder who those brat sitting down with them are? How could he manage to land such beautiful women? He must have hit the jackpot!”
All of the young men shot looks of jealousy and envy at Leon. Quite a few of them got up to try and talk to Iris
and Ruth as well.
However, they immediately decided against it when they saw Quinton next to Leon.
Even though they did not know who Leon, Iris, and Ruth were, they still knew who Quinton was.
They could see that those three seemed to be friends of Quinton.
They would never dare to play around with Quinton!
Of course, not everyone was afraid of Quinton and the Hunts.
At the front rows, toward the left area, a tall and handsome young man about twenty–six or twenty–seven
years of age look at Ruth and Iris with a glint in his eyes.
After that, he looked at Leon and Quinton before he smirked in amusement.
After about ten minutes, it was time. The auction officially started.
Right after that, a forty–odd–year–old man in a suit walked on stage.
“Hello everyone, let me introduce myself, I’m Jared Powell, and I’ll be in charge of this auction. Welcome to the auction.”
The middle–aged man said a few words to start with. After that, he motioned for a few young ladies in dresses to bring out the auctioned items.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1168
There were a lot of items being auctioned, from antique works of art to jewelry. Nothing there was cheap.
This time, Leon’s goal was the Snow Lotus, so he was not interested in anything else.
However, the rich young men seemed quite interested in all of it. They would constantly fight over the objects that were being auctioned.
Even Iris, Ruth, and Quinton could not resist spending a few million on some paintings and other items.
As the auction proceeded, the atmosphere slowly rose. Jared finally had one of the ladies bring out the snow
Lotus.
“The next item is a Snow Lotus over five hundred and twenty years old. This is one of the star attractions of this auction. The starting bid will be four million dollars! The increments are to be no less than seven hundred thousand!” Jared said.
Looking at the Snow Lotus that still looked as white as snow even after being dried on the stage, Leon was immediately interested.
As opposed to that, the young men stared to lose interest.
After all, medical ingredients could not be used by them. It was pointless for them to have it. At the most, they would just store or keep it.
However, it was rare for anything over five hundred years old to appear. Even if most of them were not interested, there were still some people who wanted to keep it. It was better to be prepared.
“I’ll bid six million!”
“Seven million!”
“I’m offering eight million!”
As a few of them started to bid for the Snow Lotus, the price for the Snow Lotus quickly reached over ten
million.
“Fourteen million!”
Leon raised the number plate in his hand and named his price.
In truth, the Snow Lotus was worth around that much in the market. The last time, the Panax only managed to get to 43 million dollars because Quinton was going against him.
Without Quinton in the fray, he felt like he would be able to get the Snow Lotus easily!
It was just as he thought.
Most of the young men there knew that medicinal materials were much more unassuming. Since Leon’s bid was quite high, all of them decided to give up.
“Going once!”
“Going twice!”
Jared said calmly.
He knew very well that the Panax being sold at 43 million last time was just down to luck. It was a coincidence that would not happen again!
Leon’s price was quite reasonable as well. He was already satisfied since it was at the range he expected.
Yet, before he could put the gavel down, a cold laugh was heard, “I’ll bid twenty–one million!”
That handsome young man in the front left area gave a bid.
“What?”
Leon was shocked, his smile froze on his face.
He thought that he would be able to easily get the Snow Lotus, but it seemed like someone had other plans.
He looked right over and saw the man’s face immediately. The man had a cold and sharp aura about him. He felt incredibly proud and arrogant as if no one else was worth his notice!
He was not someone random!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1170
Seeing that Leon was offering so much for the Snow Lotus, Tim Durkan started to hesitate.
After all, he just wanted to toy with Leon this time and not buy the Snow Lotus. If he continued to increase, the price, Leon might choose to give up. Wouldn’t he look like an idiot then?!
“Brat, since you want to look like an idiot so much, I’ll grant you your wish! I’ll just give you this useless thing!” Tim laughed in a pleased manner.
Saying that, he looked at Iris and Ruth. He wanted to show off how he trampled over Leon to those two women. He wanted to win their favor.
Unfortunately, what he got in return was the angry gazes of those women instead. He felt a bit awkward about it, and he suddenly felt less pleased with himself.
“Good, very good,” Leon coldly looked at Tim.
Even though he was furious, it was still an auction. Anyone had the right to bid. Even if Tim was deliberately sabotaging him, he was still forced to just accept it!
However, he still managed to get the snow Lotus in the end. With the primary material, he would be able to give Cynthia a good answer when he got back.
That was the only thing he could be happy about!
“Going once!”
“Going twice!”
“Sold!”
Jared’s gavel fell, and he looked a bit excited.
Before this, he thought that he was already incredibly lucky to sell the Panax at 43 million.
Yet, he never would have dreamed that the Snow Lotus was being sold at double that price!
Even if he already experienced so much, he could not remain calm.
Of course, it was a blessing a disguise!
It was precise because two valuable medicinal materials were sold at such a high price at Seacove City that the matter quickly spread around the other surrounding cities.
After that, anyone who obtained any valuable materials would sell them at Seacove City.
It meant that Leon would have a much easier time obtaining valuable materials in the future!
After obtaining the Snow Lotus, Leon’s objective was complete. He had no reason to stay anymore.
“Iris, Ruth, let’s go!” Leon told the women and prepared to leave.
“Don’t be in such a hurry! Didn’t Mister Hunt say there would be a valuable treasure? We can leave after we see it!” Ruth said with great interest.
“Treasure? Please, if there was some treasure, would they be selling it?” Leon sniffed.
After he came to Seacove City the last time, he found out that the Powells behind the auction house were one of the major families of Seacove City.
With the wealth and power at their disposal, there was no reason for them to ell a treasure for no reason unless they were all idiots!
“You can’t be sure of that! What if it is a treasure?” Ruth said reluctantly, but she did not sound that
confident.
“That’s right! Mister Wolf, you’re already here anyway. There’s no reason not to stay for a bit longer,” Quinton said with a smile.
Η
In truth, he knew that the possibility of there being a treasure was very low. He felt the same as Ruth. He just wanted to witness it personally so he would be able to report it to his grandfather when he got back.
