The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1401
Meanwhile, in the Cynthion Group branch.
Cynthia had a difficult time in the past few days.
As they just took over the company, there were countless adjustments to be made internally and she was running herself thin. Luckily for her, Ruth was rather talented in managing a business as well.
With Ruth’s help, her workload lessened to the point that she could barely manage.
One morning, Cynthia and Ruth were dealing with paperwork in the president’s office, when they were alarmed by the noises outside.
“What’s going on?” Cynthia set the document in her hands down in confusion.
“Cynthia, let’s go out and have a look,” Ruth said, before walking out of the office alongside Cynthia.
Outside the office, Nigel stormed in with two guards and shouted smugly, “Where are you, Leon Wolf? Get out!”
His voice was laced with his true energy and echoed in the office distinctively.
Everyone, including Cynthia, Ruth, and the other managers, was alerted by it.
The current branch of Cynthion Group used to be run by the Scammells; Eugene and Nigel used to be the president of the director of the firm, so most managers knew Nigel to be the direct descendent of the
Scammells.
They poked their heads out to observe the situation, but none of them dared to walk up to Nigel to stop him.
“Who are you three? Why are you shouting in the office?”
Ruth and Cynthia hurried over and stood in Nigel’s way.
“1-” Nigel was about to say something smug but choked on his words when he saw their alluring looks. “So beautiful!”
He gasped and marveled at their beauty.
He saw countless women in his life but never saw someone as beautiful as Ruth and Cynthia apart from Iris.
He thought that Iris’s beauty was incomparable, only to be taken by shock to find that both Cynthia and Ruth rivaled Iris in terms of beauty and elegance.
“Who on earth are you?” Cynthia questioned sharply.
Nigel snapped out of the initial shock and smirked arrogantly. “I’m the eldest son of the Scammells‘ second bloodline, Nigel Scammell!”
“So you’re a Scammell!”
Cynthia and Ruth were slightly taken by surprise.
“And who are the two of you?” Nigel narrowed his eyes as he scanned the two before him.
“I’m the president of Cynthion Group, Cynthia Sheer. Mister Scammell, may I know what brought you here?

Cynthia asked calmly.
Since Iris was a part of the Scammells, Nigel must be her relative and Cynthia decided to be polite out of her respect for Iris.
“Where’s that little bast*rd, Leon Wolf? Get him to come out here and see me!” Nigel commanded condescendingly.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1402
“Mister Scammells, Loen is the chairman of Cynthion Group! Have some respect!” Cynthia’s expression darkened at Nigel’s mocking tone.
He thought that since Nigel was Iris’s relative, he might be looking for Leon for something important. However, judging from his hostile attitude, she realized that Nigel might be Leon’s enemy.
“Chairman?! He tricked us into giving him the company. I’ll make him pay! Get him to come out right now, or suffer the consequence!” Nigel sneered.
“Why you!”
Both Cynthia and Ruth were enraged.
However, neither of them knew what happened between Nigel and Leon; on top of that, Nigel was Iris’s relative and the two did not know how to handle the internal affair of Iris’s family.
“Leon isn’t in the office! If you’re looking for him, come by again in a few days!” Cynthia said coldly with a dark expression.
“What? He isn’t here? Where is he, then?” Nigel froze.
He came all the way to fight Leon and was surprised to learn that Leon was not in the office.
“No comment!”
Cynthia and Ruth pursed their lips and proceeded to ignore Nigel.
“You won’t tell me? Very well. You asked for this!” An idea formed inside Nigel’s mind as he studied their breathtaking beauty.
He was a known womanizer and was enticed by Iris’s beauty when he first saw her. He desperately wanted to make Iris his, but was forced to give up when he found out that Iris was his cousin by blood.
It filled his heart with regret and frustration that he could not claim Iris as his, but another chance approached him.
Cynthia and Ruth were just as beautiful as Iris, simply in a different manner.
The thought of claiming the two as he replaced the regret in his heart with excitement.
“What do
you
want?”
Cynthia and Ruth scowled as an ominous feeling took over them.
“You two are so protective over Leon that you have to be close to him! If I capture the two of you, he will show up!” Nigel sneered.
He did not know who Cynthia and Ruth were to Leon, but he knew that Cynthia had to be Leon’s friend or relative if she was named the president of the firm.
So long as he had Ruth and Cynthia as hostages, Leon would save him the trouble and approach Nigel on his
OWTI.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1403
“You wouldn’t dare!”
Cynthia and Ruth paled slightly and backed away warily.
“You’ll find out if I dare to or not soon enough!” Nigel scoffed and ordered his guards, “Capture them and
take them with us!”
“Yes!”
The two guards closed in on Cynthia and Ruth from two different directions.
“For two morons who are only in the Initial Supreme State, you sure are brave to challenge me! Know your places!” Ruth smirked when she detected the guards‘ strength and launched a powerful attack at the guard
on her left.
“The Advanced Supreme State?!” The guard gasped and was sent flying before he had the time to react. Suffering from severe internal injuries, he spewed a mouthful of blood as soon as he landed.
At the same time, Ruth made a swift turn and leaped toward the guard on the right.
The guard on the right was also in the Initial Supreme State and could not rival Ruth in terms of power.
Within the blink of an eye, he was defeated like his companion did before Cynthia had the chance to fight him.
“I’m surprised, little girl. Who would have known that someone so young would be in the Advanced Supreme State? Interesting!” Nigel was surprised when he realized that Ruth was a powerful martial artist as well.
However, countless descendants of powerful families in the Southern region fell under the Peak Supreme or Semi–Overlord State, so he was not alarmed by her power.
What he did not know was that Ruth did not come from the Southern region, but instead grew up in a small city like Springfield City; If he knew about it ahead of time, he would come to realize just how talented she
was.
“Little girl?” Ruth was enraged.
She was young and had a petite figure, so she was teased for looking like a child all the time.
Nigel’s words were rubbing salt in her wounds and she was livid.
“Prepare to die!” Feeling offended by Ruth, Nigel charged toward Ruth at the speed of lightning.
“The Peak Supreme State?!” Ruth was stunned when she detected his strength and backed away from his attack. However, she was always one step too late and no matter how hard she tried to dodge, she could not escape from Nigel.
In the end, she struggled to launch an attack on him.
“Baam!”
Following the deafening sound, Ruth, who was only in the Advanced Supreme State, was defeated. She paled and fumbled backward as blood scrolled down the corner of her mouth.
Nigel took advantage of it and jabbed her at the Energy Core Point to seal her power.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1404
Ruth finally realized Nigel’s true strength when she was about to be captured and called out to Cynthia,” Cynthia, run! He is too strong! Run and tell Leon about this!”
Cynthia snapped out of it at her words and turned to run.
All she needed to do was to alert Leon and he would be able to save Ruth.
“Trying to run? You won’t get away!” Nigel sneered. Determined to make Cynthia his, he was not about to let
her leave.
He leaped into the air and sent off his true energy toward Cynthia’s back.
Cynthia gasped in fear when she felt the energy swarming at her.
Even Ruth, who was in the Advanced Supreme State, could not defeat Nigel, so there was no way that Cynthia could rival Nigel when she was only in the Initial Supreme State.
Luckily, Nigel was captured by her beauty and did not attack in full force.
Cynthia barely escaped his attack but was instantly rendered helpless before she could fight back when Nigel jabbed her at her Energy Core Point.
The two guards who worked for Nigel began to recover from their injuries and stood from the ground.
“Take them with us!” Nigel sneered, before striding off after ordering his guards to capture Ruth and
Cynthia.
All the drama Nigel caused alerted all the employees inside the firm, including the manufacturing director,
Otis.
Otis only managed to become a director of Cynthion Group because of Leon, so he was grateful all along.
When he saw that Cynthia and Ruth were captured, he immediately called Leon and reported to him about it.
Leon was furious as he did not expect Nigel to be so bold.
He instantly cast his task of producing alchemical pills aside and drove toward the Scammells Mansion with
Iris and Snow.
On their way to the Scammells Mansion, Iris was worried about Ruth and Cynthia, so she called Damian in hope that he could help to stop Nigel from harming Ruth and Cynthia. However, Damian was too occupied with supplying the herbs Leon needed and was stuck in the office for the past few days, so he placed Penny in charge of stopping Nigel instead.
In a luxurious residential area just a few kilometers away from the Scammells Mansion, countless wealthy and powerful figures resided and that was where Nigel purchased a mansion of his own a few years ago.
Despite his womanizing nature, he never dared to take any woman home as he did not wish to be punished. by Patrick. Hence, he took women to his mansion to enjoy himself freely.
He took Cynthia and Ruth hostage mainly to get at Leon, and considering Leon’s relationship with the Scammells, Nigel could not possibly take them back to the Scammells Mansion, or Leon might alert Damian
and Patrick.
Nigel was smart enough to avoid drawing unnecessary attention to himself.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1405
Inside the mansion, Ruth and Cynthia were locked inside a bedroom on the first floor.
Nigel placed two of his guards at the door, before opening the door and stepping inside alone.
“Here I come, beauties!” He chuckled and strode toward Cynthia and Ruth.
Both of them had their power sealed and were as helpless as ordinary people before Nigel. However, they both came from powerful families in Springfield City and were experienced enough to not let their fear show.
“What are you trying to do, Scammell?” Cynthia questioned sharply.
“What do you think? I’ve never seen another woman more beautiful than the two of you in the Southern region. I’m going to have my way with you!” Nigel smirked evilly.
“Y–You wouldn’t dare! If you dare to hurt Ruth and me, Leon won’t spare you!” Cynthia paled but swiftly regained her composure at the thought of Leon.
“Haha! When he’s only in the Initial Innate State? What a joke!” Nigel burst out laughing in amusement.
“Ha! Who told you that Leon is in the Initial Innate State? Leon’s far more powerful than that. He can even kill someone in the Emperor State with ease! If you know what’s best for yourself, you’ll release us now, Leon will kill you!” Ruth sneered and threatened Nigel.
or
“He can kill someone in the Emperor State? Oh, my. I’m so scared!” He laughed and mocked, “I don’t scare easily, little girl. Do you think that I’m going to believe that?”
“Believe whatever you want! Once Leon comes to get us, you’ll find out!” Ruth sneered as she placed her hope on Leon
Nigel captured Cynthia and Ruth in public and Ruth knew that Leon would have been informed, so he was likely on his way to them.
As long as Leon got to them in time, he would be more than capable of defeating Nigel.
“Dream on! This is my private mansion. Leon won’t be able to find it that easily! Besides, I have nothing to fear from him even if he gets here!” Nigel scoffed.
He captured the two mainly because he wanted to teach Leon a lesson, so his only concern was that Leon might not come to save them at all.
“Why you!”
Ruth’s and Cynthia’s expressions darkened as they worried if Leon would make it to them in time.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1406
“Alright. Time is ticking by. I have no time to chat with you! Let me decide which one of you I’m going to start with!” Nigel glanced at Ruth, before turning to look at Cynthia as he struggled to make up his mind.
“Whatever! I’m starting with you!” Nigel reached his arm toward Cynthia.
Terrified, Cynthia backed away but was grabbed by the arm.
Nigel pulled roughly and her sleeve was instantly torn, revealing the fair skin underneath.
“Stop, Scammell! I’m warning you! Cynthia is Leon’s girlfriend! If you dare to hurt her, Leon is going to tear you into shreds!” Ruth shouted angrily.
“What? She’s Leon’s girlfriend? That’s great news!” Nigel was first shocked but was soon overwhelmed by joy.
Leon humiliated him by presenting Patrick with a much better birthday gift compared to his and destroyed his father’s plan of taking control of the family, so Nigel started seeing Leon as his enemy.
He was overjoyed to learn that Cynthia was Leon’s girlfriend but realized that something was wrong shortly after as he processed the information.
“Wait. Hang on! Isn’t my cousin, Iris, Leon’s girlfriend?” Nigel was slightly confused.
“That’s right! Both Iris and Cynthia are Leon’s girlfriends. If you dare to hurt Cynthia, Leon, and Iris will both come after you!” Ruth warned him.
She could tell that Nigel held a grudge against Leon and mentioning Leon’s name would not scare Nigel into stopping. however, Iris was Nigel’s relative and had the support of the Scammells. Hence, she was hoping that Nigel would let Cynthia go out of respect for Iris.
“So he’s seeing two women at the same time!” Realization dawned on Nigel.
He was a womanizer and was all too familiar with dating several women at the same time, so he was not appalled by the fact that Leon was dating two women at once. However, both Iris and Cynthia were far too beautiful compared to the women Nigel had in the past and his heart was instantly filled with jealousy
toward Leon.
“If she is Leon’s woman, that’s all the more reason for me to have my fun with her out of spite for Leon! Let’s see how smug can he be when he knows that I had my way with his girlfriend!” Nigel narrowed his eyes
in excitement.
“Why you! You bast*rd!” Ruth roared in frustration.
She thought that Nigel would at least hesitate at the mention of Iris. To her bewilderment, it only excited him further.
‘What a monster!‘ She cursed inwardly.
“Keep yelling! Once I’m done with Leon’s girlfriend, you’re next, little girl!” Nigel laughed and ignored Ruth to grab Cynthia.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1407
“Leon, where on earth are you? If you don’t come to our rescue right now, we’re going to be ruined by this monster,” Frustrated, Ruth’s heart sank in devastation.
Naturally, she was not the only one.
Cynthia stared at Nigel’s approaching hand and paled hopelessly.
“Baam!”
Amid their despair, the bedroom door flew open in a deafening noise and the two Scammells‘ guards were sent flying into the room.
Leon appeared at the door with a malicious dark look on his face, followed by Iris, Snow, and Penny.
It was obvious that Leon managed to find him because of Penny.
Indeed, Penny immediately started looking for Nigel as soon as she received the call from Damian.
Nigel was a known womanizer who was seen with different women at all times, and she knew that Nigel owned a mansion nearby.
When Leon arrived at the Scammells Mansion, she led them to Nigel’s mansion in time.
“What’s going on?” Nigel turned around and gaped at Leon and the others; he soon concluded that Leon managed to come in time with Penny’s help.
“Leon, you’re finally here!”
“Thank goodness!”
Cynthia and Ruth were relieved and excited to see Leon; the despair that took over them instantly vanished.
“Let them go!” Leon glared at Nigel darkly.
Nigel was quick on his feet and grabbed Ruth and Cynthia by the shoulder as soon as Leon appeared.
Since they were held hostage, Leon did not dare to make any sudden movement out of concern that Nigel
would hurt them.
“And I’m just supposed to do as you say? Who do you think you are?” Nigel sneered in contempt.
“What do you want, Nigel? These two ladies are friends of Leon and Iris. If you don’t want to get yourself into trouble, release them right now or you will suffer for this!” Penny roared.
“Stay out of it, Cousin! This is between me and Leon! Mind your own business!” Nigel said coldly.
He captured Ruth and Cynthia mainly to lure Leon in and since Leon appeared, Nigel was dying to kill Leon
with his own hands.
However, he held back when he saw that Penny was there. He was at fault for abducting Leon’s friends, to begin with, and if Penny reported him to Patrick, Nigel knew that there would be consequences to his actions.
“Why you!” Penny was furious and was about to argue when Leon stopped her.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1408
“Don’t waste your time on him, Penny!” Leon was running out of patience and glared at Nigel coldly. “This is your last chance, Nigel! Let them go right now and I can consider sparing your life! Refuse, and I’ll have you torn into bits!”
“You? A guy in the Initial Innate State is going to tear me into bits? That’s hilarious!” Nigel burst into laughter in contempt.
“The Initial Innate State?” Realization dawned on Leon.
After the conflict with Mister Umair, the Scammells all thought that he was weak as a martial artist and they all underestimated him since then, which would play to Leon’s advantage.
Underestimating one’s enemy could often be deadly and if Leon could take advantage of that, he might be able to rescue Ruth and Cynthia from Nigel.
“You asked for this, Nigel! I’ll fight you as you wish!” Leon scoffed and prepared to attack. To catch Nigel off guard, he purposefully released his true energy, which was in the Initial Innate State as Nigel predicted, to prevent Nigel from noticing the trap Leon was setting up for him.
“Come on!” Nigel was excited.
He could not take the initiative to start a fight with Leon when Penny was there, but since Leon started it, Patrick would not be able to punish Nigel for defending himself even if he injured Leon in the end.
“Don’t be reckless, Leon! Nigel is in the Peak Supreme State. You’re no match for him! You’re going to suffer if you challenge him directly,” Startled, Penny immediately stopped Leon.
Nigel was the most powerful martial artist of their generation in the Scammells and Leon had no way of defeating Nigel when even Penny herself fell short in front of Nigel.
Leon would be on a suicide mission if he challenged Nigel to a fight.
Amid her panic, she completely neglected the fact that Leon defeated two Scammells‘ guards in the Initial Supreme State with ease, so there was no way that he was only in the Initial Innate State.
“Don’t stop me, Penny. I’m going to teach him a lesson today!” Leon said proudly and went around Penny, before leaping toward Nigel.
“Die!” Nigel narrowed his eyes viciously.
He assumed that Leon was in the Initial Innate State and his belief was reinforced when he detected Leon’s
true energy earlier; since Leon was at a much lower level of power compared to him, he had nothing to fear from Leon and was pleased that Leon was foolish enough to dig his own grave.
Nigel released Cynthia and Ruth and swiftly launched an attack in full force in Leon’s direction destroying Leon with a single blow.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1409
“It’s over! Just how foolish can Leon be?!” Penny’s heart sank when she realized that she could not stop
Leon.
Nigel was known for his ruthlessness and it was clear that he wanted Leon dead.
If Nigel’s attack landed on its target, Leon would suffer injuries that he might never recover from.
Just as she worried for Leon’s safety, what happened next shook her to her core.
“Baam!”
Following the deafening sound, Leon fended off Nigel’s attack with his spiritual energy and launched a Double Attack with true energy in the Initial Innate State at Nigel’s chest.
Nigel spewed blood from his mouth at the impact and was sent slamming onto the wall behind him.
“H- How’s this possible?!” Penny was stunned and robbed her eyes in disbelief.
She thought that Leon was far too weak and would surely be injured by Nigel; to her bewilderment, not only was Leon unscathed, he managed to defeat Nigel with one blow.
“No! No way. This can’t be happening,” Nigel lay sprawled on the ground and covered his chest in disbelief.
He could distinctly sense that Leon was only in the Initial Innate State, which was a far cry from his level, so he simply could not comprehend how Leon managed to defeat him so easily.
It was beyond his understanding and he struggled to accept what just happened.
“Cynthia, Ruth, are you two alright?” Leon ignored Nigel and hurried over to un–seal their power.
Iris and Snow were both concerned about them as well and ran over.
“We’re fine.”
Cynthia and Ruth nodded hesitantly, still recovering from fear. They were terrified the entire time they were captured and could not help but feel relieved that they were saved.
“Good.” Leon checked their clothes and was relieved when it did not look as though they were hurt.
However, one of Cynthia’s sleeves was torn off by Nigel, revealing her arm underneath. Leon took off his jacket and placed it on her shoulders.
Meanwhile, Nigel recovered from the initial shock and instantly started to plan his escape.
He did not know how Leon managed to defeat him, but he knew that he was no match for Leon and that if he stayed any longer, Leon would make him suffer for what he did.
Taking the opportunity of Leon’s distraction to look after Cynthia and Ruth, Nigel stood and ran outside despite the pounding pain in his chest.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1410
“You don’t get to just run away!” Leon sneered.
He already predicted that Nigel would run and lunged at Nigel before he had the chance to run out of the
room.
“Damn it!” Nigel was petrified when he felt the prickling sensation of Leon’s energy swarming toward him.
He knew that he could not defeat Leon and knew better than to take the blow directly, so he rolled on the ground and narrowly escaped the attack.
Without stopping to hesitate at all, he lunged forward in the direction of where Iris and the others were standing like a leopard.
It was undeniable that Leon was far too formidable and it would be challenging to escape. However, if he could manage to capture one of the four women who were Leon’s companions, he might be able to escape or
even turn the table around.
“Die!” Leon shouted in rage.
He was in the Semi–Emperor State at the moment, which made him far more powerful compared to Nigel. Hence, he would have been able to kill Nigel if he continued to attack Nigel from the back.
However, Nigel was not a weak man and if Leon failed to immobilize him immediately, Nigel would have the chance to capture one of the four women and Leon would be placed at a disadvantage.
He held the four women dearly in his heart and would never risk their safety.
Leon gave up on going after Nigel and darted toward the four women, before standing before them
protectively.
“Stay down!” He roared and launched a Double Attack at Nigel.
Nigel was no fool. Once he saw that Leon rushed to protect the four women, he realized that he could not capture any one of them. He came to a sudden halt to counter Leon’s attack as he prepared to run.
“Baam!”
The first wave of Leon’s spiritual energy fended off Nigel’s attack and the second wave charged toward Nigel.
Nigel did not panic and ride the second wave of Leon’s spiritual energy to dart out of the room at incredible speed. As soon as he landed on the ground, he started running as fast as he could manage.
“Damn it!” Leon’s expression darkened.
Nigel captured and attempted to violate Ruth and Cynthia, which enraged Leon, so Leon had no plan of letting him escape.
He leaped into the air to hurry after Nigel.
Once Iris, Penny, and the others registered what happened, they snapped out of it and ran after Leon as well.
In the yard of the mansion, Nigel ran toward his car to drive away when Leon swiftly threw a few daggers in Nigel’s direction from behind him.
