The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1201
“Oh okay, then.”
Both Daniel and Owen were shocked.
People were generally selfish. However, not only did Leon not take the opportunity to demand a greater compensation, he refused any type of compensation altogether.
They were not the only ones who were taken by surprise; everyone else, including Francis, were all impressed by how Leon was not moved by profits.
“Alright. You may go,” Leon said.
“Okay.”
Relieved, Daniel and Owen straightened their backs, realizing that they were completely drenched in sweat.” Mister Wolf, our grandsons offended you earlier. Please have mercy and spare them as well,” They muttered gingerly.
Though Leon already spared Daniel and Owen, Tim and William were the ones who started the conflict, so no one knew if Leon would be willing to let them go.
“Let them go? Impossible! These two attacked my woman and my friend. They cannot be forgiven!” Leon said coldly.
Iris was always the most important person to him and the fact that Tim and William attacked her enraged Leon. He may agree to let Daniel and Owen go, but he did not intend on sparing Tim and William.
“Please don’t.”
“Mister Wolf, we were wrong. Please spare us!”
Terrified, Tim and William started pleading for mercy.
“Mister Wolf, please have mercy and let them go. We’ll make it up to you,” Daniel and Owen pleaded.
“Oh? Is that so? Let’s see how you will make this up to me then!” Leon said, before shooting Ruth a look so that she would let Tim and William go.
“You little jerks, break one of your arms as an apology to Mister Wolf and his friends!” Daniel and Owen commanded, knowing that anything would be better than to have Leon punish Tim and William himself.
“Um, yes.”
Tim and William instantly realized what their grandfathers were thinking and gritted their teeth, before breaking their arms and falling to their knees before Leon, Iris, and Ruth.
“Mister Wolf, ladies, we have been arrogant and have offended you all. Please forgive us,” They said sincerely.
“Very well! Rise!” Satisfied, the dark look on Leon’s face eased.
“Thank you,
“Thank you
Mister Wolf,” Overjoyed, the two stood in relief. for your forgiveness, Mister Wolf.”
“If this is all, we’ll take our leave now.”
Both Daniel and Owen were grateful for Leon’s forgiveness.
“Sure.” Leon nodded.
With that, the Geoffreys, the Durkans, and all the people who gathered for the drama left.
Shortly after the incident, Leon’s name spread all over Seacove City and not a soul dared to dream of taking his treasure from him.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1202
In the following days, Leon entered the recovery phase for taking the Dragon Pill and remained in his room to rest, while taking the time to study the Mirror of Sovereign.
Upon going through all the records left by his ancestors, he soon concluded that the Mirror of Sovereign was a defensive tool. The user could inject their spiritual energy into it to guard their hearts against attack from someone of one level higher than the user; even in face of an attack from someone of a few levels higher, the damage would be minimized to a certain degree.
Like the magical armor seen in movies, it would be a powerful tool and Leon was overwhelmed by excitement.
The only drawback was that the Mirror of Sovereign was merely a defensive tool and held no offensive power; on top of that, it was only the size of a human palm, so it could only shield the heart from damage, leaving the other body parts unprotected.
Still, Leon was overjoyed as nothing was more important than staying alive and the possession of the Mirror of Sovereign meant that he had yet another tool to utilize when he found himself in danger.
Once he recovered, he went on a trip to the Wolf Enterprises branch with Iris and Ruth.
Wolf Enterprises used to be Wright Enterprises and out of gratitude toward the Wrights, Leon gathered a fund of 287 million dollars, before handing it to the Wrights through Quinton.
Apart from that, Wright Enterprises became Elegante Group’s supplier of raw materials, but the quality of the materials were unsatisfactory. Naturally, it was not a big issue for Leon as he had experience in improving the quality of raw materials in the past.
He repeated what he did the time before and resolved the crisis in only two days.
Meanwhile, a storm was gathering in Springfield City while he was occupied with the matters of his firm.
Outside the Fields Mansion, Walter, Denzel, and Theodore were all excited when they heard that Sean and Lilith were coming back to visit them..
They led the elders and all other members of the Fields to wait outside the mansion and to welcome Sean and
Lilith upon their arrival.
Soon, two luxurious cars drove in their direction and stopped right before Walter.
The car door opened and a beautiful woman stepped out, followed by a majestic–looking man in his thirties.
They were the second son of the Lapwoods, Sean, and Theodore’s older sister, Lilith.
Once they stepped out of the vehicle, two mid–aged men and an old man dressed in gray followed their lead; the three commanded an overpowering presence and were Sean and Lilith’s guards.
“Grandpa, Dad, we’ve come to visit you,” Lilith walked over to greet her family.
“Good! We’ve finally reunited after such a long wait!” Denzel said.
“Dad, what happened to Theodore’s legs?” Lilith’s expression darkened when she saw Theodore in a wheelchair.
“We shouldn’t talk here, Lilith. Let’s go inside,” Walter said, before leading them into the mansion.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1203
They arrived at the living room and the others left, leaving Walter, Denzel, Theodore, Lilith, and Sean to speak.
“Grandpa, what on earth is going on? What happened to the Fields?” Lilith asked.
When Denzel called her a few days ago, he only mentioned that the Fields were in big trouble and were in desperate need of the Lapwoods‘ help, but he did nothing in detail.
“Well,” Walter proceeded to explain all that happened between the Fields and Leon.
“What? So you’re saying that Leon Wolf, who’s around Theodore’s age, has reached the Advanced Overlord State? How’s that possible?!” Lilith was shaken.
As the eldest daughter of Denzel, she knew the power structure of Springfield City extremely well and it was unheard of for someone Leon’s age to reach the Overlord State; naturally, she was not the only one who was shocked. Sean, who was sitting next to her, was stunned when he learned about such a genius in a small city like Springfield City.
“Yes, that’s right! Even if he’s not in the Advanced Overlord State, he isn’t far from it.” Walter nodded.
After facing Leon directly the time before, Walter sensed that Leon was only in the Intermediate Overlord State and was close to reaching the Advanced Overlord State.
“Lilith, he was the one who broke my legs! You have to avenge me!” Theodore complained with resentment in his eyes.
“Theodore, don’t worry. You’re my little brother and I’m going to seek justice for you!” Lilith said, before turning to look at Sean pleadingly. “Honey, that brat has been wreaking havoc and causing trouble to my family. You have to get rid of him!”
“Um, Lilith, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but the Lapwoods belong to Solum county and if I interfere with the matters in Springfield City, the Dragon Corps will punish my family for it,” Sean scowled with hesitation.
Though Leon was close to reaching the Advanced Overlord State and had no rivals in Springfield City, he was hardly considered special to a family like the Lapwoods and they could easily crush him. However, there were laws in place and Sean knew better than to attack Leon out of his fear of the Dragon Corps.
He just replaced his older brother to become the heir of his family and if he got into trouble with the Dragon Corps at this time, he might be stripped of the title just like his brother did.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1204
Walter predicted that Sean would be reluctant to help and was not at all surprised.
“Sean, I understand your concern about the Dragon Corps, but what if Leon’s in possession of methods in the Advanced Power class or above?” Walter drawled.
“What?! Leon’s in possession of methods in the Advanced Power class or above? Seriously?” Shocked, Sean jumped to his feet.
“Indeed! Leon Wolf started as an insignificant orphan and managed to climb his way to the Intermediate Overlord State over a few months. If I’m not mistaken, he must be training with a method that’s in the Advanced Power class, or even in the Ultimate Power class,” Walter deadpanned.
Leon’s sudden growth was too abnormal and Walter started to notice the same thing as George did: apart from being extremely talented, Leon had to be training with a powerful method that belonged to the Advanced Power class, the Ultimate Power class, or even the Absolute class.
“Advanced Power Methods? Ultimate Power Methods?! That’s great! That saves me the trouble of searching for these!” Sean burst into laughter in excitement.
Though he was training with a Power Method as well, the Lapwoods were not the only influential families in Solum County and only possessed methods in the Basic Power class.
If he could obtain a method that belonged to the Advanced Power or the Ultimate Power class, it would strengthen the Lapwoods‘ power and allow them to rise to an even higher status, so Sean was excited beyond description.
“Consider it done, Grandpa! Don’t worry. The Lapwoods will get rid of this Leon Wolf for you at all costs!” Sean promised.
Though interfering with internal matters of Springfield City might alert the Dragon Corps, so long as they act carefully and not kill others, the Dragon Corps would only punish them with a few months of imprisonment, which was a small price to pay for methods in the Advanced Power class or above.
“That’s great!” Walter was overjoyed as he knew very well how powerful the Lapwoods were and was reassured that Sean agreed to help.
“Sean, Leon’s close to reaching the Advanced Overlord State! You came here in a rush and didn’t prepare yourself for this. Are you sure you can take care of him?” Theodore asked.
According to what he knew, Sean was only in the Peak Supreme State, which was a far cry from Leon’s overpowering strength, so it would be impossible for Sean to eliminate Leon on his own.
“Don’t worry, Theodore. I’ve brought three of the top martial artists in our family with me! Out of the three of them, two are in the Advanced Overlord State and one is in the Peak Overlord State! It’s going to be a piece of cake to get rid of one man!” Sean said proudly.
“What?! Two in the Advanced Overlord State and one in the Peak Overlord State?! As expected of the Lapwoods!”
Walter, Denzel, and Theodore gasped in excitement.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1205
They all knew that Leon was only in the Intermediate Overlord State and any of Sean’s guards could defeat him with ease; Leon would be crushed before he could even register what was happening since Sean brought along two martial artists in the Advanced Overlord State and one in the Peak Overlord State.
“Grandpa, where’s this Leon kid? Let’s go to him right now!” Sean asked hastily, desperately wanting to eliminate Leon to steal his Power Methods.
“There’s no rush, Sean! He went to Seacove City and didn’t come back. We’ll deal with him once he gets back! “Walter explained.
Ever since he was defeated by Leon, he sent his men to keep an eye on the Youngs and Leon, so he knew about Leon’s trip to Seacove City.
Davian opened the container and sighed, “It was still hot when I bought it, but now it is cold. You’ve been having stomach problems lately. If this keeps up…”
“It’s fine, you can go now,” Gilbert interrupted, leaning back on the chair and closing his eyes.
Davian hesitated to speak, and he said nothing in the end. He knew Gilbert was mad at his wife, but nobody knew the reason. They had been like this since they returned from Athadale, and even Kelvin, who accompanied them, had no idea what was going on between them.
Davian pushed the food toward Gilbert and said, “Mr. Kooper, please eat it while it is still warm. Iwill go now.”
Gilbert nodded without opening his eyes. Davian glanced at him one last time before leaving, feeling a bit sad inside.
After leaving the GK building, Davian could not resist sending a message to Kisa. Meanwhile, Kisa was holding a copy of a document and contemplating her next move. Just then, she heard her phone buzz and quickly reached for it.
The message read, [Mr. Kooper has been having stomach aches lately. Maybe you could talk to him or something to convince him to go back home. It’s freezing outside and he’s not eating properly.]
Kisa read the message with a pang of concern. She immediately put the document in her bag, changed into a new outfit, and headed down to the kitchen. She cooked up a delicious soup and a few small dishes and packed them in a thermal container.
By the time she arrived at the GK building, it was almost 1.00 am. She sat in her car and looked up at the CEO’s office, which was still lit up.
When she first saw Davian’s message, she was desperate to see Gilbert and rushed over as fast as she could. But now that she was here, she hesitated. Gilbert had been distant with her lately, and she was not sure if he would be angry if she showed up unannounced.
After a few minutes of hesitation, she got out of the car. She had brought food for him, after all, and she did not want it to go to waste.
Kisa arrived at the CEO’s office and knocked on the door. Gilbert’s voice came from inside almost immediately. “Didn’t I tell you to go home? What, did you decide to stay here with me?”
Kisa bit her lip and pushed open the door.
Gilbert opened his eyes slightly, and his handsome eyebrows furrowed deeply, though there was a hint of surprise in his gaze.
“Who told you to come?” he asked, his voice even colder than the winter night outside.
Kisa plastered on a smile. “I missed you, so I came to see you.”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1206
Meanwhile, in the Shear Mansion.
Cynthia was ordering her guards to move boxes of rare herbs into the storage room.
Leon called her the day before, informing her that he obtained the Snow Lotus and asked for her help to prepare a few other ingredients needed for the Advanced Pure Energy Pills.
She had everything prepared as he requested so that he could proceed to make the Advanced Pure Energy Pills as soon as he returned, before using them to make peace with the Shears.
“Leon, when will you come back? I miss you,” she mumbled to herself.
Leon told her that he needed to stay in Seacove City for another two days to handle matters of his firm, but she simply could not wait to see him again, wishing that he would descend from the sky and appear before her eyes like before.
“Baam!”
Just as she was absorbed in her fantasies, she heard noises of arguing and fighting outside the door. Soon, a few of the Shears‘ guards were sent flying into her sight.
Walter and Sean led a group and strode into the mansion proudly.
“What’s going on?” Shocked, Cynthia hurried toward the gates with a few other guards.
The other Shears were also alerted by the noises. Benedict and the other elders led the other members of the family toward the gate and when Benedict saw who was at the gate, he was furious.
“It’s you! Why are you barging into our mansion, Walter?”
The Fields were always the Shears‘ competitors and Benedict was not going to play nice when Walter led his family to the Shears‘ property.
“Don’t get all worked up, Benedict! We came here to offer your family a marriage proposal. Your guards just won’t let us in, so we were left with no options but to teach them a lesson!” Walter said.
“Marriage proposal? What?!”
Benedict and the other elders were all shocked.
“My grandson, Theodore, has always liked Cynthia and we are here to propose that we marry the two of them!” Walter explained.
All the Shears instantly froze in shock.
“What?! Impossible! Dream on!” Cynthia shouted hysterically.
Walter ignored Cynthia and stared at Benedict. “Benedict, getting married is inevitable! The Fields and the Shears have their differences, but once we join forces via this marriage, we can look past that and become allies! What do you think?”
“No way!” Benedict recovered from the shock and sneered. “Walter, the Shears will never agree to this. Give up!”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1207
“Benedict, take the deal while I’m still playing nice! We came prepared and the Shears will agree to the marriage, one way or another!” Walter’s expression darkened.
He was patient, but since both Benedict and Cynthia were determined to reject them, he saw no point in being polite.
“You think Fields have what it takes to boss us around? What a joke! I’m warning you, Walter. This is our territory, not your playground! If you know what’s best for your people, you’ll all leave right now, or it’s war! “Benedict sneered.
The Fields and the Shears were equals in power and Benedict had no clue as to what gave Walter the courage to threaten them into marrying Cynthia to Theodore.
“Haha!” Walter burst into laughter and cut to the chase, “allow me to introduce my grandson–in–law, Sean Lapwood. He’s the second son of the Lapwoods from Solum County! The Fields might not be able to deal with you, but the Lapwoods can destroy you with ease!” Walter pointed at Sean and turned to stare at the Shears in contempt.
“What?!”
“The second son of the Lapwoods from Solum County?”
The Shears were shocked and all turned to look at one another, gaping.
They all heard that the eldest daughter of Denzel married into a family in Solum County, but they never expected a family outside of Springfield City to interfere with their internal matters.
“Mister Lapwood, are you sure you want to help the Fields?” Benedict glared at Sean, his heart sinking.
Though the Shears belonged to one of the Four Major Families in Springfield City, the Lapwoods were far more powerful in influence and strength.
“Of course! If you know what’s best for yourselves, you will agree to marry Cynthia to Theodore. That way, we all win! Refuse, and you shall suffer!” Sean said proudly.
Since he already decided to eliminate Leon from the Fields, helping them with another enemy did not seem that big of a deal.
“Mister Lapwood, you wouldn’t dare! This is Springfield City. If the Lapwoods interfere with our internal conflicts, you will be punished by the Dragon Corps!” Benedict roared.
“Don’t try to scare me with the Dragon Corps. I’m not that easily threatened! This is your last chance, are you agreeing to the marriage or not?” Sean questioned demandingly.
“No way! I’ll never agree to it!” Benedict said with determination.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1208
“Very well! You asked for this! If it’s a fight you want, it’s exactly what you are going to get!” Seeing how stubborn Benedict was, Sean sneered and commanded one of the Lapwoods guards. “Solomon, teach this old twat a lesson. Beat him until he says yes!”
“Yes!” a mid–aged, majestic–looking man stepped forward, “take this, old man!”
Solomon fired up his true energy and darted toward Benedict.
“The Advanced Overlord State?!” Benedict’s expression darkened in the face of the overpowering wave of energy pressing toward him. Not daring to stand still, he backed away from Solomon’s attack swiftly.
However, Solomon was simply far too superior in speed and power; Benedict only managed to dodge a few attacks and was soon in danger.
“Brother, let us help!”
Another martial artist in the Initial Overlord State, Tomas Shear, along with a few of the Shears‘ elders leaped into the air to attack Solomon.
“A bunch of trash! Know your places!” Solomon sneered in contempt.
As a martial artist in the Advanced Overlord State, he could easily win even when he was facing three martial artists in the Intermediate Overlord State. Needless to say, he was hardly threatened by a group of one martial artist in the Intermediate Overlord State, one martial artist in the Initial Overlord State and a few
Semi–Overlords.
He charged forward, wielding even more power in his fist as he launched himself at Benedict and the others.
“Baam!”
Within a blink of an eye, Benedict and the others were sent flying into the distance with blood spewing from
their mouths.
“How impressive!”
“As expected of someone in the Advanced Overlord State!”
The Fields gasped in appreciation when they saw how Solomon defeated Benedict and the others with such
ease.
“Grandpa, are you okay?” Cynthia paled and hurried over to help Benedict up.
“I’m fine,” He nodded with a pale look on his face.
and the other elders
Since he was in the Intermediate Overlord State, he was not severely injured, but were not as lucky. They all suffered terrible internal injuries and could barely get up from the ground.
Just then, Walter stepped forward and said, “Adapt to the new reality, Benedict! Are you ready to accept the marriage proposal now?” Walter sneered.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1209
“No way in hell! I’m not agreeing to it even if it means the death of me!” Benedict gritted out.
He knew that Theodore was a known womanizer in Springfield City and since Leon destroyed his legs, he were rendered completely useless.
With that considered, Benedict would never agree to marry his granddaughter to such a man.
With the Dragon Corps to maintain order, the Lapwoods would not dare to do anything to them so long as he refused the proposal to the very end.
“How stubborn?! You asked for this!” Enraged, Sean ordered, “Solomon, destroy him and teach him what
it’s like to cross a Lapwood!”
“Yes!” Solomon fired up his true energy once again and stepped toward Benedict.
“That’s enough, Lapwood! If you dare to kill my grandfather, the Dragon Corps will have your heads!” Terrified, Cynthia stood before Benedict to protect him.
“I know that, but I don’t intend on killing anyone!” Sean said casually.
The Shears sighed a breath of relief, but what Sean said next sent chills down their spines.
“Cynthia Shear, this is your last chance! If you refuse to marry Theodore, I’ll destroy the power of all direct descendants in your family, before breaking all their limbs to leave them in pain! So long as I don’t kill anyone, the Dragon Corps branch in Springfield City can’t do anything to me!” Sean said coldly.
“What?!”
Cynthia, Benedict, and the other Shears froze in shock, as they knew that Sean was right.
Conflicts occurred frequently among martial artists and the only thing that would cause the Dragon Corps to act would be if someone died.
If Sean controlled his subordinates and kept them from killing, even if the Dragon Corps interfered, the Lapwoods involved would only be locked away for a few days, which was hardly a big price to pay.
“You wouldn’t dare! Lapwood, if you do that, Leon will kill you!” Cynthia roared.
At such a critical moment, all she could think of was Leon; she desperately wished that Leon would appear
before her and save the Shears.
“Leon?” Sean was slightly taken by shock as he did not know how Leon was related to this.
Theodore rolled his wheelchair forward with a dark expression on his face as he gritted out, “Cynthia, why are you still talking about Leon up until now? So you haven’t forgotten about him, after all!”
Leon was his nemesis and his resentment reached its peak after Leon destroyed his legs, yet the woman he loved was fully devoted to Leon; even when Leon went back to Iris’s arms, Cynthia did not forget about it and was still hoping that he would return to the Shears.
If he knew that Leon and Cynthia already made peace in private, he would explode with rage right there and
then.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1210
“So what if I’m still in love with him? Theodore, if you refuse to back off, Leon’s going to avenge us and destroy you all!” Cynthia said coldly.
After the fight between Leon and Harold, Cynthia heard that Leon reached the Advanced Overlord State. Though there was one martial artist on the same level as Leon on the Lapwoods‘ end, a man as brave and brilliant as Leon would stand a chance against them.
“Destroy us? Like he can! Hahaha!” Theodore burst out laughing.
“What are you laughing at, Theodore Fields?!” Cynthia’s expression darkened.
“I’m laughing at how naive you are! Cynthia, my brother–in–law brought along three guards. Two are in the Advanced Overlord State and the last one is in the Peak Overlord State! If Leon so much as shows his face here, we’ll crush him into bits!” Theodore sneered smugly.
“What?!” The Shears were stunned.
They all thought that Solomon was the only martial artist the Fields brought with them and did not expect
Sean to have two martial artists in the Advanced Overlord State with another man in the Peak Overlord State
with him.
The presence of such a powerful group shook them to the core.
“It’s over. Leon will die when he returns from Seacove City,” Cynthia mattered, feeling as though she was struck by lightning.
Leon and the Fields long established themselves as enemies and one would only survive with the other dead.
If the Fields only had one martial artist in the Advanced Overlord State with them, they might not be able to harm Leon; however, with such a powerful trio, Leon would be crushed within a matter of seconds and his
demise was inevitable.
“Cynthia, enough with the chit–chatting! I’m running out of patience. One last time, are you going to marry Theodore or not?!” Sean urged impatiently.
“I-” Cynthia opened her mouth to refuse, but the words would not come out.
She knew very well that her rejection would mean the suffering of her family and the death of the only man.
she ever loved.
It was simply far too high a price to pay for her happiness and she was devastated.
Losing his patience at her lack of response, Sean commanded, “Solomon, do it! Crush them!”
“Yes!” Solomon said, before stepping toward Benedict with his overpowering energy gathering in his fist.
“Hang on!” Cynthia paled and gritted her teeth. A determined look appeared on her face and she said, “I’ll agree to it.”
