The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1381

"Yes, sir!" Ted and the rest understood this, and immediately grabbed hold of Wade, Willie, and Tommy before running as fast as their legs would take them!

"Rats!" seeing that Wade was getting away, Leon wanted to go after him, but unfortunately, he was being tied up by the two martial artists that were on his trail.

After all, he was only at the Intermediate Overlord State, whereas the two martial artists before him were already Advanced Overlords and certainly not easy opponents to defeat.

Although Leon had the Mirror of Sovereign with him and could easily keep them at bay, it was another thing entirely if he wanted to defeat them!

However, there was still one way-he still had his most powerful weapon with him, which was the Potential Energy Forces that Master Haslewood gifted him!

This was his most powerful secret weapon, but now, he only had two forces remaining, which made each of them all the more valuable, and he was not willing to waste them on defeating cheap crooks like Wade!

Therefore, Leon had no choice but to watch as Wade got away!

After Wade and the others disappeared from view, the two martial artists exchanged glances as they contemplated their retreat.

Now that Leon had the upper hand, they would eventually lose if they stayed and fought him, knowing he had a valuable treasure with him.

Therefore, the two of them matched each other's pace, until finally, in a synchronized leap, they retreated and disappeared into the distance.

"Count yourself lucky!" Leon yelled, his expression dark.

He was only at the Intermediate Overlord State; his speed was no match for the two Advanced Overlords at all, and now that he could barely even make out their retreating silhouettes, there was no way he would be able to catch upto them!

Leon had no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, he managed to teach Wade a lesson, and this was the perfect revenge he could dish out for what he received in the first place.

If he did not manage to hurt Wade so terribly, Leon would have used every last strength he had to fight them to death, even if it meant having to use up another one of his Potential Energy Forces.

The four girls got out of the car when they saw that their opponents retreated.

"Did you get hurt, Leon?"

"Are you okay?" they asked in concern, surrounding him as they checked to see if he was fine.

All of them witnessed Leon being attacked by Wade just now, and they were all worried sick about Leon's injury.

"I'm fine, it's just a scratch. Don't be too worried," He shook his head, smiling.

However, the four of them did not seem to buy it, and they reached out to stroke his chest and shoulders, trying to see if he sustained any serious injuries. After confirming that he was indeed fine, they finally let out sighs of relief.

Leon was both a little delighted and a little embarrassed to feel their hands on his body.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1382

"What should we do now, Leon?" Cynthia asked. She and Leon came all the way here to buy out Medicare Pharmaceuticals, but now, after having gotten into a conflict with the Jones, it was safe to say this business would not work out anymore.

"Never mind, let's go home first! We can start searching again in a few days and find out if other pharmaceutical companies suit us," Leon said after some contemplation.

Now that he took the Dragon Pill, he would enter a weak state for the next two days, and the affairs regarding the pharmaceutical company would have to wait.

"Alright then." Cynthia nodded.

"Oh, where's Otis, by the way?" Leon remembered.

"Oh, he's over there!” Iris pointed in the direction of the office.

Otis and the rest of the company's higher management remained at their workstations out of fear that they would get involved if they followed Leon. However, they all watched from within the building, and thus witnessed the true extent of Leon's powers. All of them were utterly stunned, to say the least.

Leon ignored their stares and instead made a beeline straight for Otis. "I'm sorry, Otis, for getting you involved in this," He said apologetically.

Otis tried to help him with this buyout, but unfortunately, not only did this transaction turn sour, but his conflict with the Jones would also definitely affect Otis, and Leon could not help feeling apologetic for this.

"I-" Otis let out a bitter smile, unsure of what to say.

After all, Tommy was his general manager and his boss. Now that Leon injured Tommy, there was no doubt that he would have to answer to that!

Otis was concerned that he would lose his job over this!

He could not help regretting his decision of bringing Leon into this, but it was too late now!

"Otis, why don't you quit your job here? I'm going to buy out a better pharmaceutical company in a few days, and when that happens, I'll give you a nice title and job position-one that's even better than manager!" Leon said after some thought. He wanted to offer Otis a new job to compensate for what he did.

"What? Do you mean it?" Otis could not believe his ears.

"Yes, I mean it!" Leon said solemnly.

"Thank, thank you! This is great news!" Otis was overjoyed to hear that. Although this was his first encounter with Leon, and he was not too familiar with Leon's background, the fact that Leon was willing to offer 215 million dollars to buy out Medicare Pharmaceuticals, and the way that he defeated Wade just now, showed that he was not someone to be messed with!

Otis knew he had to leap at this opportunity!

Although Leon's involvement cost him his job, if he could find a way to gain Leon as a friend and superior, this connection would no doubt serve him well in the future!

Not only that, but he was only a manager at Medicare Pharmaceuticals. The next rung of his career ladder was to become a member of the higher management, but unfortunately, it would be difficult for him to do so, considering he did not hail from a prestigious background at all.

However, Leon was now offering to give him a position that was even higher than a manager. Not only would he be sitting in a comfortable office, but he would also receive a pay raise and better employee benefits!

One could only imagine Otis's excitement at this!

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1383

"Thank you, Mister Wolf, for your kind offer," Otis immediately bowed at Leon in gratitude, his initial dismay at the thought of potentially losing his job dissipating.

"You don't have to thank me, Otis; it's what I should do. Don't worry, I promise I'll stick to my word." Leon grinned. He could easily guess the fact that Otis managed to earn the position of manager at Medicare Pharmaceuticals showed the extent of his capabilities, and he was confident that Otis would be able to hold down any position he offered him!

Not only that, but if Otis proved himself to be a great leader, Leon might even consider offering him the position of vice president!

After settling these issues, Leon finally bade Otis goodbye and returned home with Iris and the other girls.

After watching them leave, Otis returned to the office and headed straight to the human resources department to hand in his notice, to get away before Tommy could find him!

Leon spent the next few days resting at home, with the four girls taking turns caring for him every day.

During this time, Raphael finished his assignment and sent over the Four- Colored Jadeite that he sculpted into an exquisite statue.

On the other hand, Leon's encounter with Tommy, Willie, and Wade severely injured all of them and successfully made him their enemy.

Wade sustained the most injuries out of all of them and needed at least a couple of months to fully recover.

He was one of the best martial artists of his generation, and the fact that he lost to someone like Leon humiliated him greatly!

However, considering that Leon was a "distant cousin" of the Scammells, he did not dare to act rashly, much less try to get revenge on Leon before he regained his full strength!

Thus, the next few days of Leon's recovery were peaceful and quiet.

Not only that, but by the time he recovered from his weak state, it was Patrick's birthday.

Because of this, Leon had to put aside his plans of buying out a pharmaceutical company and wait till after Patrick's birthday to handle this!

The morning of Patrick's birthday, Scammell Mansion was brimming with activity as the guests arrived for the party.

Apart from their friends and family, many of the guests were Patrick's business partners. Some of the major families who were close with the Scammells also sent their sons and grandsons over to celebrate the joyous occasion.

"The Fanns would like to gift Elder Scammell a set of jade bangles as a symbol of great health and prosperity."

"Landry Group would hereby wish Elder Scammell a lifetime of good health and longevity. Please accept our gift of this painting of an evergreen tree in remembrance."

"Jet Group would hereby offer this emerald statue as a gift."

Penny and Nigel stood at the door with the rest of their siblings and cousins to welcome their guests and usher them to their seats.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1384

After some time, Leon and Iris arrived at the mansion.

As soon as they appeared, Iris's beauty immediately attracted the attention of all the guests, and the people crowded around the entrance gazed in awe at her striking beauty!

Apart from staring at Iris in amazement, some of the younger guests even shot Leon glances of jealousy and envy, trying to figure out how someone like Leon managed to land a gorgeous woman like Iris!

At this moment, Damian and Julie, who stood a short distance away, caught sight of them and came over to say hi, with Julie wheeling Damian along in his wheelchair.

"Hello, Uncle Damian, Aunt Julie," Iris greeted as she approached them, her arm entwined around Leon's.

"Where have you been, Iris, Leon? Why didn't you come around to visit us over the last few days?" Damian asked questioningly. Neither of them saw Leon or Iris ever since they left the mansion a few days ago, and if he did not call Iris to ask how they were doing, he and Julie would still be worried that something bad happened to them!

"Uncle, Leon was intending to buy out a pharmaceutical company here in the Southern Region, but something went wrong," Iris explained. She paused, contemplating whether or not to reveal what happened with the Libertons to Damian, but before she could open her mouth, Damian interrupted her.

"Leon wants to buy out a pharmaceutical company? Why? Did he use to run one back in Springfield City?" Damian was surprised to hear this.

"Yes, that's always been my strength," Leon replied, smiling.

"Oh, that's right! I should've known. You're so good at medicine-you'd be the perfect candidate to run a pharmaceutical company!" Damian exclaimed, suddenly recalling Leon's previous display of his medical expertise. It was undeniable that with Leon's expertise, running a pharmaceutical company would be a piece of cake!

However, unbeknownst to Damian, the reason Leon was looking to buy out a pharmaceutical company was not just for the business, but also to brew some of his herbs!

"By the way, Uncle Damian, do you know of any pharmaceutical companies that might suit us? We're looking for something midscale," Leon asked. The Scammells were one of the oldest families in the Southern region and possessed power and influence that none of them could even begin to imagine. To ask Damian for advice would certainly be much more effective than searching blindly like how he and the girls did!

"Um, I'm not too sure about that! The Scammells do own a couple of midscale pharmaceutical companies that seem to be what you're looking for, but unfortunately, we're not planning to sell them," Damian replied.

The Scammells were one of the biggest medicinal herbs suppliers in the Southern region, and since this was closely tied to the pharmaceutical field, the Scammells established their own pharmaceutical companies a few years ago to expand the market.

Since the Scammells' main export was herbs, Damian, as the eldest of the direct descendants, was in charge of that, whereas the pharmaceutical business were always the collateral descendants' property. Therefore, Damian did not know much about that side of the business at all.

Oh, okay," Leon could not help being disappointed at this.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1385

"I have a suggestion, Damian. Since the pharmaceutical companies are only one of our side businesses and don't play a major role in our profit, why don't you talk about this to Elder Scammell? Maybe we might be able to offer one of our pharmaceutical companies to Leon at a low price, considering how much he seems to need one!" Julie piped up.

Leon saved her husband's life just a few days ago, and she was filled with gratitude toward him ever since. This was the perfect way to repay her gratitude toward him!

"This is a great idea!" Damian immediately understood what Julie was trying to do. He was so grateful to Leon for what he did that he was willing to gift the companies to Leon free of charge!

Unfortunately, he was not the one calling the shots for these and had to discuss this with his father beforehand.

"Can the Scammells sell me one of your pharmaceutical companies?" Leon was overjoyed to hear this. Although it was not a difficult feat, it was challenging for him to find the perfect company to buy out, especially considering he was a foreigner in the Southern region.

It would be great news if the Scammells were willing to offer him one of their pharmaceutical companies!

Not only that, but the Scammells were one of the largest herbs suppliers in the area-on a much larger scale than even the Shears-so if they were willing to put in a good offer, Leon could sign a contract with them and become one of their clients as well!

This would be killing two birds with one stone!

"I'll discuss this with my father. Don't worry, I'll do anything in my power to help you!" Damian declared. All of a sudden, he paused as though he recalled something, and asked, "Leon, it's my father's eightieth birthday today. Have you and Iris prepared a gift for him?"

"Yes, we have. I have it right here!" Leon dangled an intricately wrapped gift box in front of Damian. The gift box contained the jadeite statue that he tasked Raphael to sculpt.

"That's splendid! You'd better get on his good side later on, and I'll try my best to convince him into this. With the both of us working together, I'm sure he'll eventually say yes!" Damian declared confidently.

Leon was his niece, Iris's boyfriend, and coupled with the fact that Leon saved his life, Damian was certain that Patrick would not refuse their request!

As long as Patrick agreed, this business transaction would go smoothly!

"Thank you in advance, Uncle Damian," Leon quickly thanked him. he and Iris were grinning from ear to ear at the prospect of being able to buy out a pharmaceutical company soon.

"Don’t thank me. We're family, after all, and besides, you saved my life and even helped fix my legs. It should be me thanking you instead," Damian said, beaming.

"Alright, alright. Let's go inside, shall we?" Julie interrupted, smiling.

With that, they all turned and entered the mansion.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1386

A gigantic stage was set up in the center of the courtyard, flanked by red curtains. A banner with the number 80 on it was draped across the stage with golden streamers and flowers.

A red carpet ran down the center toward the stage flanked by rows of beautiful bouquets and floral arrangements that made the entire set-up look even more luxurious. Rows and rows of teakwood chairs were arranged in front of the stage, covered by red drapes with golden embroidery of the number 80 across their backs.

The entire place was glamorous and even more elegant than ever!

By the time Leon and the rest arrived, the entire place was already packed with guests.

Not only after they arrived, but Patrick also emerged from backstage, grinning from ear to ear as he was accompanied onstage by Amy and the rest of the elders.

The host got onstage and declared, "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the eightieth birthday party of Mister Patrick Scammell here. Let us give a round of applause to the birthday boy-"

With that, he burst into a round of applause, which was quickly followed suit by the guests.

Firecrackers were set off to initiate the joyous occasion while Patrick was welcomed onstage.

"We wish you a lifetime of great health, longevity, happiness, and prosperity, Elder Scammell! Now, let us kick off the celebration with a round of birthday wishes from the family," The host said.

This was a ceremony that included all the younger generations of the family, who were supposed to take turns getting onstage, bowing to their elder, and proffering their gifts as a symbol of their respect.

This was started by the eldest son, which was Damian, in this case.

Julie wheeled her husband onstage.

"Father, I know that you've always taken a fancy toward antiques, and coupled with the fact that you love tea, I hereby gift you an antique tea set, passed down from our ancestors. I wish you a lifetime of longevity and happiness-" Damian announced as he brought out his gift—an exquisite set of clay pottery.

"An antique tea set from ancient times? This is a splendid gift!"

"You're right. Although the teapot by itself isn't too expensive, just a few hundred thousand dollars, the fact that Mister Scammell managed to gather the whole set makes it all the more priceless."

The audience was in awe of Damian's gift. This kind of antique tea set originated from the ancient ages, but unfortunately, due to the lack of industrialization during those times, most of the pottery got destroyed, and it was extremely hard to find an entire tea set that was intact, making it worth millions!

"Splendid, splendid!" Patrick gasped, a gleeful smile crossing his face as he took the gift from Damian. It was clear that he was extremely happy with the gift he received!

The next person in line was Eugene, Damian's cousin, and Nigel's father.

Eugene's present was an intricate vase from the golden ages worth several hundred thousand dollars. Although this gift was not as thoughtful as Damian's, Eugene was only Patrick's nephew, not his son, and it was a reasonable gift considering their relationship.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1387

After that, it was the second generation's turn, which included Penny, Iris, and Leon.

"Grandpa, Andy, and I would like to gift you this painting in the symbolism of great health and longevity," Penny and Andy offered their gifts.

Soon, it was Iris and Leon's turn.

"Grandpa, Leon, and I have prepared a priceless jadeite statue for your birthday. We hope that it will bring you a lifetime of health and prosperity," Iris said as she and Leon opened the gift box and handed the exquisite statue to Patrick.

"A jadeite statue?" the color drained from Nigel's face when he saw this.

Coincidentally, he also prepared the same thing as his grandfather's birthday present, but unfortunately, his was far smaller in size compared to Leon's.

Now that Leon already offered this gift, it would be humiliating if he did the same, with a smaller one, no less!

"Rats! Did that bastard do this on purpose?" Nigel was fuming at this. He met Leon for the first time when he and Iris came to meet the Scammells, and at that time, Mister Umair, who was a cousin of Nigel's, got into a fight with them over a misunderstanding.

Therefore, Nigel liked Leon it! Now, the fact that Leon prepared the same gift as he made Nigel think he was doing this on purpose to embarrass him!

He could not help growing even more resentful of Leon at this realization!

"This statue is sparkling and multifaceted; I wonder what jadeite it's made out of."

"It seems like a cream-clear, but its clarity is much lesser than that of a cream-clear. I'm guessing it's a cloudy-clear jade!"

The audience erupted into murmurs, their interest piqued by the jadeite statue Leon and Iris gifted. Most of the guests at the party were socialites or members of the elite society in the Southern region, so naturally, they knew a thing or two about antiques.

Most of them could tell that the jadeite statue was of a higher class, but because the orange jadeite was of a lower clarity than the others, it made it appear as though the entire piece was of a lesser quality than its true character!

"What do you mean, cloudy-clear jade? The whole jadeite seems to be mottled in color and translucency. It's clear that this is just a cheap, man­made jadeite!" Nigel scoffed.

Nigel's statement made the entire room erupt into a flurry of activity.

"Yes, that sounds about right!"

"This jadeite statue is so colorful that it doesn't seem natural, and appears to be like a man-made jewel instead!"

Everyone was stunned to realize this.

The jadeite industry was a challenging one, and it was not uncommon to see poorly made, synthetic jadeites interspersed with natural, genuine stones.

The jadeite before them was so colorful and so large that one could not help wondering if it were a piece of poor-quality synthetic jadeite instead!

Not only that, but Four-Colored Jadeites were so rare that none of the audience could recognize this as a piece of treasure, considering they were not professionals in this area at all. All of them thought that Leon bought this gift off a black market that sold counterfeit stones!

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1388

"Nigel, how dare you accuse my gift of being a cheap, man-made jadeite? Don’t say anything if you don’t know the whole truth!” Leon shot Nigel a displeased look.

"Well, you know full well whether I'm telling the truth or not! Let me show you what a pure jadeite looks like!" Nigel sneered as he opened his gift box and took out his jadeite statue.

Although the jadeite statue Nigel prepared was less than half the size of Leon's, it was clear and transparent with no added patterns to it at all-one could tell that it was a piece of stone of the highest utmost clarity!

"This is a cream-clear jadeite!"

"Yes, you're right. The clarity seems to be of top-notch quality, and I might go as far as to say this is ice-clear jadeite! I'm certain this must cost at least millions of dollars!”

The audience gasped in awe at this.

Cream-clear jadeites were much more common than Four-Colored ones, and it was evident that the jadeite Nigel prepared was certainly of the highest possible quality!

"Did you hear that, Leon? Everyone can tell that my jadeite is a genuine, valuable one, unlike your cheap, synthetic one!" Nigel smiled triumphantly.

Although he and Leon prepared the same gift by coincidence, it was clear who won this round. He was certain that the gift Leon prepared was a counterfeit stone, and he was determined to humiliate Leon in front of everyone!

"So what?" Leon was amused by Nigel's naivety.

"What do you mean, so what? It's my great-uncle's eightieth birthday, and yet you prepared a counterfeit product worth only a few hundred dollars at most as his present! Are you looking down on my great-uncle, and us Scammells as well?” Nigel sneered.

"That's right! That fella has given such a cheap gift and humiliated the Scammells in front of everyone!" the audience piped up, turning to glance at Leon and Patrick with expressions of disdain.

"Um," the color drained from Patrick's face when he sensed everyone's eyes on him. After the gift Damian and the others gave him, he was initially in a pleasant mood, but Leon's gift was so terrible that he was utterly humiliated in front of everyone!

Even though it was the thought that counted, the Scammells were still an ancient and powerful family, and certainly, the value of a gift mattered just as much!

Leon was his future grandson-in-law, for God's sake-how could he possibly embarrass him in front of everyone with a cheap gift? This would turn him and the rest of the Scammells into the entire city's laughingstock!

One could only imagine Patrick's rage at this realization!

"What are you doing, Leon? You could've prepared a better gift for such a joyous occasion. How can you be so cheap?" Damian's face was as white as a ghost. He and Leon already agreed that if Leon got on Patrick's good side, he would help convince Patrick into selling one of their pharmaceutical companies to Leon, but now, not only did Leon fail to do so, he even angered Patrick with his cheap, measly gift!

Not even Damian could drag him out of this hole even if he wanted!

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1389

Chapter 1389

"Don't listen to Nigel's nonsense, Uncle Damian! This is a piece of valuable Four-Colored Jadeite, not some counterfeit stone like what he claims," Leon explained.

"Four-Colored Jadeite?"

"This jadeite statue does indeed have four different colors-could this indeed be the Four-Colored Jadeite that represents happiness, wealth, and longevity?"

The audience was all shocked to hear this, exchanging glances of uncertainty and doubt.

Although any jadeite that possessed more than three colors was hard to come by, because the Four-Colored Jadeite had such a meaningful symbolism to it, many of the rich and powerful heard a thing or two about this remarkable stone!

However, since they were not professional jewelers after all, none of them could tell whether the jadeite statue before them was indeed the priceless Four-Colored Jadeite or just a cheap dupe!

"What nonsense is this? Any priceless jadeite that has three or more colors would be made into small accessories, and I've never once heard of such a humongous Four-Colored Jadeite! Even if you wanted to lie your way out of this, Leon, you'd better get your story straight first!" Nigel said, sneering. He was certain that the gift Leon brought was just a cheap counterfeit, and no matter what Leon said, he refused to believe that this was the legendary Four-Colored Jadeite!

"Yes, Master Nigel is correct! This jadeite statue is so big, it doesn't seem to be made out of the valuable Four-Colored Jadeite!" the audience agreed with Nigel’s statement and all thought that Leon was lying!

"Leon isn’t lying! I can vouch for him-this jadeite is indeed the Four- Colored Jadeite!" Penny stepped forward all of a sudden.

"Vouch for him? how are you going to do that?" Nigel froze, then glanced at Penny. Patrick and the audience all turned to gaze at Penny with puzzled looks.

"Grandpa, Leon gambled for this stone a few days ago at the Westwoods' store-Andy and I were there, and we saw everything. It turned out that the stone was indeed a rare Four-Colored Jadeite, and I swear that this isn't a counterfeit product at all," Penny declared confidently.

"What?"

"How's this possible?" Nigel and the rest were stunned to hear this. They all thought Leon was lying, and never once did they think that the jadeite statue Leon was gifting Patrick would turn out to be a piece of priceless treasure!

Even Patrick and Damian were stunned by this.

"Penny, are you telling the truth?" Damian asked.

"Yes, nothing but the truth! Not only that, but when Leon got his hands on this Four-Colored Jadeite, some jeweler tried to buy it for forty-three million dollars, but Leon turned down his offer so that he could sculpt it into this statue as Grandpa's birthday present," Penny explained, nodding.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1390

"Forty-three million dollars?’ "This statue is worth forty-three million? That's absurd!"

The audience was utterly stunned to learn of the jadeite statue's worth. Although they all hailed from rich and powerful families, 43 million was still not a small number, and they could not believe how generous Leon was to turn down an offer of 43 million dollars just to use this jadeite for Patrick's birthday!

None of them ever heard of such generous behavior in their lives, not even amongst the major families!

"Splendid, absolutely splendid!" Patrick burst into laughter as all his disapproval toward Leon dissipated with this discovery. Not only was he satisfied with the priceless gift Leon gave him, but he was also happy because Leon's display of generosity reflected well on him.

Elders like him placed utmost importance on their egos, and Leon successfully managed to make him and the rest of the Scammells look good in front of everyone!

One could only imagine his joy!

"How could this be?" the color drained from Nigel's face as his heart sank. He looked forward to humiliating Leon with his ice-clear jadeite, but never did he dream that Leon's gift would turn out to be worth dozens more than his!

The irony was, he openly mocked Leon and accused him of buying a counterfeit stone for Patrick's birthday, but now, the tables turned!

One could only imagine the dismay Nigel felt at this!

"Oh, I remember now! I heard that a professional stone gambler went to the Westwood’ store and managed to get his hands on a Four-Colored Jadeite worth forty-three million dollars, and an Imperial Purple Amethyst worth hundreds of millions. It turns out that man was none other than Leon Wolf!" One of the young men in the audience gasped in sudden realization.

"Oh, I heard of this too! I even heard that the stone gambler taught Willie Liberton a lesson and caused him to lose over thirty million dollars," Another man piped up.

Ever since Leon got his hands on the Four-Colored Jadeite and the Imperial Purple Amethyst, his name spread far and wide amongst the stone gambling community, and thus it was not strange of these men to have heard of his achievements!

However, all of them thought these were just rumors, and never once did they dream this would be true!

"Penny, did they say that Leon taught willie Liberton a lesson? What is this? " Damian was shocked to hear this and immediately shot Penny a questioning glance.

"What?"

"Well, when Leon was trying to bid for the Imperial Purple Amethyst, Willie deliberately messed with him and caused him to end up bidding an extra fourteen or so million dollars to get the stone. Leon tried to get revenge by deliberately hiking up the price for the third jadeite, which led Willie to fall for his trick and end up not only wasting thirty million dollars but becoming the laughingstock of the town as well," Penny explained.
