Ch. 121..130
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 121
Read The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 121 – All the bones in the thug’s entire body ached in pain, almost as if they were going to fall apart, and at least five to six of his ribs were already broken.
He was lucky that Leon did not deliver a killer move, or else all four of them would have been dead by then!
“H–how’s that possible…” Iris was dumbfounded to see the scene in front of her. She rubbed her eyes vigorously and could not believe that everything she saw was true.
She already resigned herself to face a certain death, and she thought Leon would have the same fate too. However, she never would have dreamed that Leon would defeat all four of the armed thugs in less than a minute!
It came as a complete shock to her! She finally understood that Leon was not bragging earlier–it was she who underestimated Leon’s strength!
“Leon, you’re… You’re so amazing! When did your fighting skills become so powerful!” Still reeling from the shock, Iris looked at Leon from head to toe with a face full of
disbelief.
At the same time, she began to wonder to herself: if Leon’s abilities were so amazing, why would he almost die at the hands of her two kidnappers, and why would he be tossed around like a ragdoll by Brody’s two bodyguards?
Nothing seemed to be making sense!
“To be honest, I’ve always been this skilled… It’s just that the two thugs who kidnapped you last time were both good, and I nearly lost to them because I was careless.” Leon said with a calm and composed expression.
He had no choice but to cook up a reason since it was impossible for him to explain
to Iris the memories that he inherited.
“Really?”
Iris appeared surprised.
She previously conducted a thorough investigation of Leon’s background and found out from there that Leon was neither skilled in any form of self–defense nor ever learned anything such as martial arts.
Nevertheless, the facts were right in front of her and she could not think of any other possibility aside from trusting his words.
“Wait here, Iris. I’ll teach these goons a lesson they’ll never forget!” Leon snorted
coldly and put on a murderous expression as he walked toward the man with the earring.
“Get up! Don’t just lie there and play dead!” Leon stepped on the man’s arm and gave it a crushing stomp.
The man let out a pig–like scream as he sat up and rolled about on the ground.
His other three companions were terrified to see what happened and fell silent almost immediately. They then forced themselves to endure the pain from their injuries and scrambled miserably to try and get up.
“W–w–whud dhu yuh whunt! ” The man with the earring appeared beyond terrified. He could not articulate his words correctly as all his teeth were shattered by Leon’s punch and his mouth turned numb from pain.
“What do I want? Let me see. This seems to be a good place to commit murder. I want to see if there’s a nice spot here where I can bury all four of you later!” A murderous intent flashed in Leon’s eyes.
“N–N–No… Please…” One of the four men said. They were all so terrified that their hearts turned cold and their legs became weak.
If they were elsewhere, they were almost certain that Leon would not dare to murder them. However, the remote nature of that area meant that no clues would be left
even if Leon decided to kill them!
“Please, forgive us. We know we were wrong. Please find the kindness in your heart to let us go…” said one guy.
They were all extremely terror–stricken, and one of them took the lead in kneeling with a thud. The rest then hurriedly followed suit and begged for mercy.
Leon snickered but did not answer. Murder was illegal, after all, so he could not possibly kill them all there. Besides, Iris still watched everything from behind, which made it even more unwise for him to kill them, as murder in front of her would only leave her feeling traumatized.
The only reason he said that was to scare them.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 122
Read The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 122 – Upon seeing that Leon was unmoved, the four men started to become desperate. They looked at Iris behind them, and they suddenly had an idea to throw themselves before Iris.
Leon was startled by their actions. He was worried that they would hurt her, so he quickly stood up to shield Iris and stared at the four of them with even a colder expression!
“Please, spare us. We’re in the wrong when we did those actions. We’re sorry…”
“Yeah. Please show us some mercy and let us live…”
The men immediately kowtowed Iris and begged for mercy.
Being the woman that she was, Iris still felt a bit of compassion even though she knew that they were the villains.
“Forget it, Leon! Everyone makes mistakes, and it’s important to be forgiving when the situation calls for it. Let them off just this once time,” Iris advised him.
“But Iris,” Leon protested, “you can’t just them off so easily! People like them are the scumbags of society. If you let them off this time, there’s no guarantee that they won’t do even more heinous stuff in the future! If that happens, aren’t we indirectly becoming accomplices too?” Leon said firmly.
He never wanted to kill them, but he did not want to turn a blind eye to such heinous acts and become unwitting accomplices to their misdeeds. As a result, he put himself between a rock and a hard place as he was unsure how best to deal with
them.
Of course, he previously considered the idea of handing them over to the police, but they did not cause any substantial harm to him and Iris, so the most that the police
could do was detain them for two weeks to a month at most.
There was no point at all.
When the four men heard the conversation between Iris and Leon, they were overjoyed to hear that there was still room for them to maneuver. “Please kindly spare us. We promise to turn over a new leaf! Please just give us a chance to change…”
“Alright. I’ll hold you guys to it! If I ever find out that you’re doing similarly vicious acts in the future, I won’t let you off a second time!” Iris said coldly.
She was not bluffing, because the Youngs‘ power and influence reached far and
wide in Springfield City. As long as any of the men dared to commit misdeeds, the Youngs could crush them almost as easily as crushing an ant!
“We won’t! We won’t!” The four men assured her.
“You guys are lucky, this time. I’ll let you off the hook, for now! If this happens again, I swear I’ll make all of you pay! Now get out!” Leon snorted coldly. Given their sincerity in admitting their mistake, he finally decided to give them another chance.
“Yes, we understand, we understand!” The four men felt as if they were pardoned from a death sentence and immediately wiped off the cold sweat on their heads. At long last, they finally dared to get up and help each other up to their feet before fleeing from the place in humiliation.
Leon could not help but sigh as he watched them disappear from view. People like them had fickle characters, and his intuition told him that the four men might not turn over a new leaf that easily.
Nevertheless, he no longer worried as much because Iris warned them that the Youngs would come after them if the other party did not mend their ways!
“How’s your foot injury, Iris? Is it bad? Would you like me to take you to the hospital?” Leon turned to her and asked concernedly.
“I thought you had medical skills? Why would you want to send me to the hospital?” Iris asked strangely. She clearly remembered Leon boasting about his abilities in front of her the previous day.
“Oh yeah. I would’ve forgotten if you didn’t remind me.” Leon facepalmed and reacted as if he was jolted awake from a dream.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 123
Read The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 123 – Leon’s mind was a complete mess earlier, as he was so concerned about Iris’s injury that he forgot about his medical skills.
He felt a little awkward after that brief episode.
Leon then glanced around and spotted a relatively clean large rock not far away. He helped Iris over and motioned Iris to sit down on the rock.
“Take off your shoes, Iris. I’ll check your foot for you,” Leon said with a smile.
Iris nodded. She took off her small leather boots to reveal a fair–skinned foot wrapped in flesh–colored stockings.
It was breathtakingly beautiful!
Leon’s heart skipped a beat and his pupils dilated.
Iris’s beautiful feet were slender and petite, and they could only barely fit in his palm. Her five toes were playfully alluring in her stockings, and it was undoubtedly a very beautiful view.
Leon could not help but feel a fiery feeling in his heart. He felt an inexplicable urge to immediately hold that slender and beautiful jade foot in his hand and play with it.
“Didn’t you say you were going to check my injury? Why are you spacing out?” Iris looked puzzled.
“Oh, right. Yes, I’ll help you check the injury right away…”
Leon snapped back to his senses and had an embarrassed smile on his face. He felt a little guilty as a result, and despite holding Iris’s beautiful stocking–covered foot with care, he felt so nervous that his palms could not help but shake slightly.
Iris did not think much about it at first, but she soon realized that something was amiss when she saw Leon’s strange demeanor.
Certain parts of a woman’s body were off limits, and feet were one of them They were considered one of the more intimate parts of a woman which should not be touched by anyone of the opposite gender except, perhaps, their relatives.
Allowing someone to touch their feet was a sign of closeness and acceptance, and she felt that it was too intimate an action when Leon placed his hands on her foot!
“Forget about it, Leon. You should just bring me to the hospital.”
A red flush immediately appeared on Iris’s pretty face and she hurriedly tried to
retract her foot. Alas, her actions caused the injury to worsen and the pain made her frown, thus reminding her that she should not move around on a whim.
“That won’t do! We’re on a mountain, Iris. It’s a long way away from a hospital, and you’re unable to walk because of that injury on your foot. How do you expect to go to the hospital?” Leon said immediately.
Knowing that it was women’s feet ought not to be touched so indiscriminately, he would never give up on that chance so easily after finally getting such a rare
opportunity!
“But…” Iris was very hesitant. She knew that Leon’s words made sense, and her current situation made it difficult for her to go to a hospital unless Leon carried her down the mountain–an act which would surely result in increased bodily contact! Okay, but you can’t…touch me anywhere else when you’re treating me…” Iris conceded with a blush as she tried to warn Leon not to have any naughty thoughts.
“Don’t worry. I won’t.” Leon smiled shyly, then calmed himself down and began to carefully check her injury.
As Leon examined her slender and beautiful foot with repeated massaging movements, an ambiguous atmosphere surfaced between the two of them.
Sometime later, Iris could not bear the feeling anymore and broke the silence with a reddened face. “How is my foot, Leon? Is it serious?”
“Luckily for you, it’s just a dislocated joint. A simple repositioning of the affected joint is all that’s needed to treat it…” Leon said. While Iris had her guard down, Leon seized the chance to grab her delicate feet and yanked them forward with some force.
With a click, the dislocated joint was successfully realigned back to its original place.
“OWWWWW!” Iris let out an agonized cry and her pretty face turned pale at once. Within seconds, all the pain and discomfort quickly disappeared.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 125
Read The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 125 – Leon did not want Iris to be in danger, but he could not bear to see Iris being disappointed either.
“Never mind that. We shouldn’t give up halfway now that we’re already here! Come on, I’ll bring you to the top of the mountain and let you see the scenery today!”
Leon gritted his teeth and made an immediate decision.
His energy refinement level has reached mid–stage, making his strength and agility much more powerful than ordinary people. Furthermore, Mistcloud Mountain was not a dangerous peak with cliffs, and he would not face any issues as long as he took extra care.
“Are you sure?” Iris was still worried.
“You don’t have anything to worry about with me around. I promise I’ll keep you safe!” Leon said firmly. His sonorous voice gave Iris an indescribable sense of security.
“Okay. I believe you,” Iris nodded uneasily.
Leon then put Iris down and lifted Iris in a bridal carry.
That way, their center of gravity was tilted forward as much as possible, thereby aiding them in terms of hiking and safety measures for the final stretch of the climb.
However, the path ahead was bumpy and difficult due to the lack of stairs, thus making it physically more exhausting than before. For those reasons, the climb for that quarter of the mountain was infinitely more tiring than the previous three quarters combined.
Fortunately, Leon had a continuous flow of spiritual energy that was more than sufficient to support all that physical strength he expended.
With his efforts, he was successful in carrying Iris up to the peak!
On the peak was an open space about five or six football fields huge. The vegetation was lush, the air was particularly fresh, and the scenery was so much more beautiful than before:
“Leon, look! The unique sight of clouds and mists connected does exist!” Iris pointed up ahead and said excitedly.
Leon gasped in surprise when he looked in the direction that Iris pointed at. What he saw in the air around the peak were clouds and mist that connected to form a sea of white. By standing on the mountain peak and looking down from above, one could
2/2
see the white clouds merging into one with the billowing mist, forming what looked like a surging waterfall that led to an endless sea. One could not help but marvel at the sight, for it felt as though one was in the land of gods!
“The scenery is just breathtaking. Mistcloud Mountain sure lives up to its reputation!” Leon said with sincere admiration.
“Yeah, I’ve never seen a scenery this magnificent before, it’s like I’m inside a dreamlike fantasy! This climb was worth it after all!” Iris smiled happily and felt unprecedentedly at ease.
“It’s a shame…” Leon shook his head and seemed to be a little regretful.
He could sense that the spiritual energy there was very pure and rich, many times more so than the mountain behind the villa. Unfortunately, his practitioner level was too low to absorb and utilize such pure spiritual energy. Had he been able to use the Energy Convergence Circle to refine his energy there, his ability would almost certainly improve by leaps and bounds!
Nevertheless, he was not one to be discouraged. Once his refinement foundations improved in the future, he could still find an opportunity to go there and absorb the spiritual energy.
“What’s a shame?” Iris turned around and asked curiously.
“Nothing, really,” Leon then casually remarked, “I thinking about how beautiful it must be to see the sunrise here, so it’s a shame that we came too late to see it.”
“It’s okay. We can still see the sunset even if we couldn’t catch the sunrise. It’s already past four in the evening, so there’s only about an hour or so to go before the sun sets,” Iris said with a smile.
“Yeah. Let’s watch the sunset together!”
A smile appeared on Leon’s face. Nothing was more wonderful than accompanying Iris to enjoy the sunset. It was the best thing that he could ever ask for.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 126
Read The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 126 – Leon walked around on mountain peak with Iris on his back and found a relatively clean space where they could sit down.
Before long, the sun’s rays pierced through the dense peak of mist and cloud as it began its descent in the west.
Clouds and mist lingered even as the bright golden rays of the setting sun shot through. The reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light made for a colorful display of iridescence, which gave rise to a sense of awe and amazement that could captivate anyone who had the good fortune of laying eyes on it.
When the sun finally disappeared from the horizon, the two of them woke up from their amazement.
“It’s getting late, Leon. Let’s go home,” Iris said with a smile.
Although some unpleasant things happened earlier that day, Leon’s company made for an enjoyable time and she felt indescribably content.
Leon nodded, carried Iris on his back, and began the descent.
Going down was much easier than going up, and Leon’s pace made it feel as if he was flying. He carried Iris to the foot of the mountain and out of the scenic spot.
Most of the tourists already left by then, and only a few lone figures were walking toward the outside. Jess the streamer and her boyfriend were among those people there. The two of them soon spotted Leon and Iris walking some distance ahead.
“Babe, look! It’s them!” Jess pointed unhappily in the direction of Leon and Iris.
“Didn’t think we’d meet them so soon. I guess it is a small world out there!” Her boyfriend’s eyes turned red with envy, and his jealousy nearly sent him into a flying rage when he saw Iris piggybacking on Leon’s back.
“It’s all his fault that I received lesser gifts and rewards than usual during the live stream this afternoon! He ruined it for me!” Jess said resentfully. “Babe, didn’t you say earlier that you’d beat him up if we ever ran into us again? Now’s your chance!”
“You’re right! I’ll give him a good smacking on your behalf!” he said, sporting a gloomy expression as he strode toward Leon’s direction.
Excited, Jess immediately aimed her cell phone camera toward Leon’s direction in anticipation of doing a live stream of her boyfriend’s amazing powers.
She might be able to receive more tips and gifts from fans that way!
Most of the fans in the live stream knew what happened at noon, and they resented Leon for ruining everything and preventing them from getting the beautiful woman’s contact information.
All of them booed and jeered in the comments area, but as long as Jess’s male companion could rough Leon up and vent their frustrations on their behalf, she could easily get a whole load of tips, rewards, and gifts!
Jess beamed with a smile after receiving all those promises from her fans. It was almost as if she could already see her boyfriend trampling Leon under his feet, followed by the endless stream of gifts she would receive!
Outside the area, more than a dozen similar–colored Volkswagens parked in a neat row and blocked the entrance.
About 30 to 40 strong black–clad young men leaned on the side of the car. All of them appeared to be unsavory characters with an intimidating aura.
They were led by a 34- or 35–year–old man who was busy smoking. He had firm muscles throughout his entire body, and his eyes glimmered menacingly from time to time. One could tell at a glance that he was a very powerful and ruthless individual.
Beside him stood four miserable–looking young men with bandages all over their bodies, and they were none other than the four men that Leon had fought earlier on the mountain.
The way they all lined up was so threatening that the passers–by around them remained silent and avoided them as far as possible when leaving the place. No one dared to go near them for fear of provoking them by accident.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 128
The leader strutted over and glanced directly at Leon. “Where are you from kid? You’ve some balls of steel for hurting my men on my turf!”
Leon set Iris down from his back and looked directly at the man with a relaxed and fearless gaze. “Who are you?”
“Ignorant fool! Let me tell you who he is. He’s Felix Leopard Moneta, our boss who rules the area surrounding Mistcloud Mountain!” the man with the earring said proudly.
By then, the commotion already alerted the surrounding passers–by. Some of the more timid and fearful ones left in a hurry, while the braver lot stayed behind and watched the situation unfold from a distance.
When they heard the man with the earring announce the name of their leader, every single onlooker was startled and a hubbub immediately ensued.
“That’s the man they call Leopard?!”
“Rumor has it that Leopard, armed with only a machete, hacked eighteen or so people more than ten years ago. They say he even chased his opponents down three streets!”
“He made a name for himself from that one fight and gradually began to control the underground society in the area near Mistcloud Mountain. His dominance was such that everyone calls him ‘Leopard‘ as a sign of respect!”
“That kid ought to watch his step. Of all the people he could’ve pissed off, he just had to mess with Leopard. Now he’s finished!”
Many of the onlookers heard of Leopard’s fame and were in awe of him. However, they also sympathized greatly with Leon.
Leopard might not be considered a rich and powerful person in such a huge area as Springfield City, but he was undoubtedly the apex predator in the vicinity of Mistcloud Mountain. There were even some rich and powerful elites as well as influential government officials who deferred to his reputation!
Leon’s heart tensed up when he heard everyone’s discussions and finally realized how strong Leopard was. Even his expression turned became solemn. “Leopard, was
it? What do you want?”
“According to the rules here, I’ll only consider letting you off if you cut off one of your arms!” Leopard said coldly.
Leon’s expression changed dramatically and he said unhesitatingly, “Not a chance!”
“Ungrateful little thing! Since you’re so insistent on bringing trouble upon yourself, I’ll gladly grant your wish!” Leopard snorted coldly. He raised his hand and was prepared to signal an order to attack.
“Wait! The injuries that Leon inflicted on them are nothing more than a question of medical expenses! We’re willing to pay the expenses in full, regardless of how much cost was incurred, so just name your price!” Iris said indifferently.
The one thing she had in excess was money. No problem was a problem for her it if could be solved with money!
“Oh? That’s interesting!” Leopard cocked an eyebrow, looked at Iris from head to toe, and was captivated by Iris’s peerless beauty.
“I’m not the kind of man who could step on a beautiful flower! Since that offer was made by someone as pretty as yourself, I’ll give you a chance to pay seven hundred thousand for the medical expenses! If you can fork out that amount, I promise I’ll let you two leave safely!”
“What? Seven hundred thousand? Why don’t you just rob a bank or something!” Leon was furious, as Leopard was plucking the number out of thin air!
“Fine. It’s only seven hundred thousand! That won’t be a problem!” Iris reacted much calmer.
Even though Iris already saw Leon’s fighting ability earlier, only four opponents were at the time. The number of opponents had since increased more than tenfold! To make things worse, they were all very fierce–looking, holding weapons such as machetes and batons. As powerful as his skills were, she did not fancy his chances of defeating all those people by himself!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 127
Read The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 127 – At that point, Leon walked out of the scenic spot with Iris on his back. They were both happily talking and laughing when they ran into the 30 or 40 young men
blocking the entrance aggressively.
“Boss! This is the kid who hurt us! You gotta get payback on him for us!” As soon as they saw Leon approaching, one of the men immediately appeared spirited as he pointed his hand in Leon’s direction with a resentful look on his face.
“Grab him! Don’t let him get away!” Their leader snorted coldly and tossed away the cigarette butt in his hand.
Under his orders, all the young men brandished their weapons–which included machetes and batons–while swarming toward Leon and Iris.
Standing slightly further back was Jess’s boyfriend, who was about to rush up and teach Leon a lesson, rattled by the sight of those black–clad men surrounding Leon. The scene left him in a stupor, and he immediately stopped what he was doing before retreating some distance away in fear of being dragged into the impending fracas.
“Babe, what’s going on? What’s happening?” Jess trotted over with a look of surprise.
“Beats me! That dude must’ve done something stupid and offended someone important. So now he’s being ambushed!” Jess’s male partner said in delight and managed to get a rough gist of the situation,
“I see! Well, he pisses me off, so it’s great that someone else is teaching him a lesson for us! From the looks of it, even God is on our side!” Jess was overjoyed.
“Yeah! That guy’s dead meat after being surrounded by that entire bunch of people!” Jess’s partner sneered.
The people who surrounded Leon were of a very strong build and even had weapons in their hands.
He could easily imagine the sheer misery of Leon’s fate!
“Let’s
go,
babe! We’ll watch this from a safe distance!” Jess was excited and she pulled her boyfriend’s arm as the two of them hid some distance away. She then aimed her phone camera in Leon’s direction and prepared herself to enjoy a live stream of Leon’s brutal beating with her fans. It would not be long before she received a steady stream of rewards and gifts!
Over at Leon’s end, he and Iris finally saw the four men they met earlier standing
beside the leader.
“You guys again?! You guys are a pesky bunch!” Leon’s expression sank, and he soon realized that they gathered their comrades to get revenge on him!
“Yup! It’s us! You probably didn’t expect us to come back, did you!” The man with the earring sneered with an arrogant expression on his face.
“What are you people trying to do here? When the four of you met Leon on the mountain earlier, he let you go on the condition that you mend your ways! You even promised us you’d change! Are you going back on your word now?” Iris scolded coldly.
“Don’t talk to us about what happened on the mountain, b*tch! Your friend here beat the sh*t out of our four members. You’re his friend, so this was partly your fault too! We won’t be able to live with ourselves if we don’t avenge what happened today!” The men with the earrings said viciously.
“Despicable! You people truly are the lowest, most dishonorable scum of society!” Iris was nearly exploding with rage.
It was never Leon’s intention to spare the four men, but iris was the one who took the initiative to intercede for them. She hardly imagined that they would be so ungrateful as to ignore her kind gesture and turn hostile so quickly!
For a moment, Iris could not help but feel some regret. If she knew that would.
happen, it would have been better for her to heed Leon’s words and give him free rein to incapacitate those thugs!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 129
Read The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 129 – The consequences would be disastrous if Leon suffered several devastating blows!
Besides, 700,000 dollars was nothing to her, and she felt that it was worth the trade. to exchange that sum for her and Leon’s safety.
“Are you serious?” Leopard was so shocked that his jaw nearly dropped to the ground. He never dreamed that Iris would agree to his terms!
Seven hundred thousand was no small sum, and he was swayed by it as it was practically his entire year’s income!
If Iris was willing to compensate 700,000 dollars for their medical expenses, whatever bad blood between the two sides would be written off! It was a solution that both sides could benefit from.
“Don’t listen to her nonsense, Leopard! She came here with that kid in a shabby motorcycle this morning. I don’t think they can even fork out seven hundred bucks, let alone seven hundred thousand!” the man with the earring sneered.
“F*CK! Are you trying to pull my leg?” Leopard was furious.
“I’m not. I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, I can write you a check right now.” Iris remained calm and took out the checkbook from her bag.
“Checks are useless! How’d I know if you’ve written a bad check? I only accept cash!” Leopard said coldly.
Checks and bank transfers left an official money trail, and if Iris called the police after the incident, he was likely to be charged with extortion.
Cash was therefore the safest way of receiving money!
“I don’t have that much cash on me! But there are other ways if you insist on having cash. Let my friend go so he can get the money. I’ll stay here as your hostage. Once he has the cash, he’ll come and exchange it for me,” Iris said curtly.
“Hmm…” Leopard pondered for a while and felt that it was a feasible solution.
Iris was so beautiful that he would be lying if he said he was not swayed by her looks. However, there were rules in their world; and his main goal was to get justice from Leon without involving Iris in any way whatsoever. That being said, Iris’s willingness to stay as a hostage was good news: he promised not to touch even a strand of Iris’s hair if Leon could deliver the money, but failing that, he would be happy to deal with
Iris however he wanted.
He stood to lose nothing with either outcome!
“Okay, I agree, but I’ll be upfront with you two, I won’t hold myself back if you so much as dare to call the police or play tricks on me!” Leopard warned coldly.
“No!” Leon refused. “No matter what happens, I’ll never let you become a hostage, Iris!”
Although his practitioner level has reached the mid–stage of energy refinement, there were far too many enemies in front of him who were capable and powerful. The leader Leopard, in particular, was a formidable fighter whose strength far surpassed anyone Leon had ever met before. Leon was sure of that fact after sensing the gleam in Leopard’s eyes!
With Leopard and the horde of highly–skilled thugs, Leon felt somewhat at a loss because it was one against many and his strength- might not be enough.
Despite his lack of confidence, however, he would never leave Iris alone with such dangerous people!
“Can you use your brain for once, Leon?” Iris glared at Leon in dismay and whispered, “this is just a stop–gap measure! You might not know this yet, but the Youngs have arranged for several strong fighters to protect my safety in secret. If my guess is correct, those people are probably somewhere nearby!”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 130
Read The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 130 – “If you leave this place and contact them as soon as possible, I promise I’ll be fine by the time they arrive and deal with those thugs…” Ever since Iris was kidnapped by the gangsters last time, her grandfather dispatched additional staff to protect her safety from the shadows.
However, she was not fond of having anyone interfering in her private life, so she told those people to keep a distance from her–they duly obeyed her and avoided getting too close.
What happened in front of her was so sudden that she could guess without thinking that most of the people responsible for protecting her were just slightly too far away to notice the abnormality immediately.
If Leon could leave and tip the news off to them, the entire problem would turn into a non–issue!
“Iris, I don’t care if this is a stop–gap measure or not. All I know is, I’ll never leave you alone in the face of danger, even if there’s only a tiny bit of danger!” Leon said decisively.
He knew that Iris’s method was much more stable, but leaving Iris there on her own was simply too dangerous–he could not bring himself to do it!
“You… Are you trying to make me angry…” Iris was getting anxious and she felt like cracking Leon’s head open to see if it was filled with peas!
“You don’t understand!” Leon said, “nothing’s more important to me than your safety! The point is, you need to believe in me. I’ll do my best to protect your safety, and anyone who wants to hurt you will have to do so over my dead body!” He looked into Iris’s eyes with an indescribable firmness.
He knew that he was not worthy of Iris and that she might never fall for him for as long as he lived, but it was his belief–or rather, an obsession of sorts–that he would always do his best to protect Iris in silence until Iris no longer needed him!
“You…” Iris’s body trembled and she was deeply shocked by the determination in Leon’s eyes.
For a moment, she understood what his expression entailed and felt a little helpless when she saw it. In the end, she turned away subconsciously and did not dare to look him in the eyes again.
Leon already expected that to happen. He never dared to have any sort of unrealistic
expectations of Iris, so naturally, he did not have any kind of disappointment.
Then, he turned his attention to Leopard and said coldly, “I know you’re a strong man, Leopard. But no one can triumph over me that easily! I’ll give you one last chance: if you take your men away right now, I’ll pretend that nothing ever happened! But if you insist on standing up for these scumbags, I promise I won’t go easy on you!”
“Leon,” Iris yelled in stupefaction, “have you lost your mind?!”
Leon’s remark was equivalent to initiating war on his opponents!
The 30 to 40 people Leon had to go up against were all holding weapons, and Leon had no one to rely on but himself!
It was the same as signing off on his death warrant!
“That’s some big talk, kid! How dare you talk to me like that? You must be itching to get killed!” Leopard was angered by Leon’s arrogance.
“And what if I did? This whole incident today started because of me. Come at me if
you’ve got what it takes!” Leon grinned boldly.
Although he was far outnumbered by the other side, he believed in his strength and was 60-70 percent confident of winning! Had the chances been any less than that, he would not dare to utter such ludicrous words!
“You…” Iris’s face turned ashen and she could be sure that Leon had gone nuts!
All of Iris’s efforts to secure a chance went down the drain with Leon’s actions, and she felt untold despair because of him!
