The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1411
“Wh- What the-” Nigel turned around and gasped in fear.
He did not expect Leon to possess weapons and by the time he registered what was happening, the daggers were inches away from him.
He disgracefully rolled on the ground and barely escaped the daggers, while Leon closed in on him at the speed of lightning.
“Nigel, it’s time you accept your fate! Take this!” Leon scoffed and launched the Double Attack on both his hands as he charged toward Nigel.
“Don’t!” Terrified, Nigel stumbled backward to dodge the attack. However, he was severely injured earlier and since he could not hold a candle to Leon’s strength, he could not escape Leon no matter how hard he
tried.
As he ran out of options, he launched two punches with both his fists to counter Leon’s attack.
“Baam! Baam!”
Following two deafening sounds, Leon’s attack tore through Nigel’s true energy and slammed onto his body.
Nigel was instantly sent flying into the distance and spewed a mouthful of blood after taking two Double Attacks; numerous bones in his body were shattered and he was rendered helpless as a sharp pain shot through his body.
“Let’s see where you’re going to run to!” Leon sneered as he stepped toward Nigel.
Each step Leon took felt like a sledgehammer swinging at Nigel’s fragile state of mind.
“W- What are you doing? Don’t come any closer!” He muttered in fear and fumbled to get up, only to realize
that he was too weak to do so.
“You jerk! Ruth and Cynthia didn’t do anything to you, yet you abducted them and tried to force yourself on them! I’m going to break your legs today and serve you justice!” Leon gritted out fiercely.
He desperately wanted to kill Nigel right then and there at the thought of what he was about to do to Cynthia and Ruth, but since they were not actually harmed and Nigel was still Iris’s relative, he could not kill Nigel.
“Don’t! I’m warning you, Leon. I’m the eldest son of the Scammells‘ second bloodline. If you hurt me, my family won’t spare you,” Nigel roared frantically.
“I don’t know how your family will react to this. All I know is that I’m not letting you go unpunished!” Leon sneered and raised his leg to stomp on Nigel’s knee.
“Stop!”
Just then, a luxurious car raced toward them and took a sudden halt at the yard. The door flew open and Eugene strode out with two of his bodyguards.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1412
“Dad, Leon wants to break my legs. Help me!” Nigel was relieved to see his father and immediately called out for help.
“Kid, let Nigel go!” Eugene commanded as he glared at Leon coldly.
When Nigel captured Ruth and Cynthia, he immediately informed Eugene about it.
Eugene knew that Nigel intended on using the two women to lure Leon in and came over to prevent any accident from happening.
Leon was going to be a member of the family soon and though he was hardly comparable to Nigel in terms of strength, Eugene was worried that Leon might seek Damian’s help on the matter; once that happened, Nigel would not be able to help himself.
Hence, Eugene hurried over in case Damian was alerted about it. To his bewilderment, Damian was nowhere to be found and instead of defeating Leon, Nigel was the one who was severely injured.
“Am I supposed to do it simply because you are asking? Who do you think you are?” Leon sneered in
contempt.
Since Eugene was his senior, Leon would have been respectful in the past, but the situation changed.
He learned from the internal conflict that took place during Patrick’s birthday that Damian and Eugene saw one another as enemies.
Damian was Iris’s uncle, and as Iris’s boyfriend, he considered himself to be on the side of the Scammells‘ first bloodline. Since Eugene was determined to kill Damian, Leon knew better than to show any respect for Eugene.
On top of that, Nigel captured Cynthia and Ruth out of spite for him.
Leon was no fool. If Eugene and the others started targeting him, there was no need for civility
“How dare you, brat?!” Eugene was enraged.
He held a much higher status compared to Leon and could not tolerate such disrespect.
Ever since Leon indirectly destroyed his plan to take over control of the family, he resented Leon for it.
Not wasting another moment, Eugene prepared to attack Leon when Iris, Penny, and the others hurried
outside.
“Hang on!” Startled by the sight, Penny immediately went to stand in front of Leon. “Uncle Eugene, what is the meaning of this? You are a senior and you are about to attack a junior! Don’t you think it’s a bit inappropriate?” She questioned sharply.
“How is it inappropriate? He injured Nigel and I’m going to make him pay!” Eugene said coldly.
“Nigel abducted Leon’s friends out of the blue and even tried to defile them! Even if Leon has injured him, Nigel brought this to himself!” Penny argued.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1413
Eugene knew his son better than most and immediately figured that Nigel attempted to force himself on the two women and ended up being defeated by Leon instead.
“I don’t care! All I know is that Leon injured Nigel and he has to pay!” Eugene said forcefully.
“Why you!” Penny was frustrated at how unreasonable he was but knew that there was nothing much she
could do.
“Penny, don’t waste your time! I am dying to see how he is supposed to make me pay!” Leon said coldly.
Nigel abducted Cynthia and Ruth, while Eugene refused to see the reasons and insisted on taking Nigel’s side. Leon was not one to remain quiet when someone tried to bully him and he was running out of patience.
“What? Leon, have you gone mad?” Penny could not believe what she just heard.
Though Leon managed to defeat Nigel with one blow, she could tell that Leon was in the Semi–Overlord State at best, or Nigel would not be able to escape from Leon at all.
Eugene and Damian were the best martial artists of the Scammells‘ second generation, and they reached the Peak Overlord State.
If Leon was only in the Semi–Overlord State, he would be doomed for challenging Eugene to a fight.
“How arrogant! You asked for this! I’m going to kill you!” Eugene roared and gathered his true energy onto
his fists.
“Hang on! Uncle Eugene, Leon had a reason to injure Nigel. This isn’t his fault! Nigel might be injured, but he is mostly fine. Why don’t we just put a stop to this now?” Penny shouted.
She knew that Nigel was at fault, but since Leon severely injured him, it could be said that Nigel was punished accordingly and she wished for nothing but for everyone to let it go without a fight.
“No!” Leon scoffed.
He was enraged that Nigel tried to defile Cynthia and Ruth, and he considered himself merciful for not killing Nigel on the spot, so it was impossible for him to simply let Nigel go.
Leon was determined to break Nigel’s legs to seek revenge for Cynthia and Ruth.
that
However, before he could object to Penny’s idea, Eugene interrupted him and said, “no! There’s no way I’m letting this go! He injured Nigel and I’m going to make him pay!” Eugene said coldly with determination.
“Why you! Uncle Eugene, you’re way out of line here!” Penny’s expression darkened and despite her gentle character, she was enraged by Eugene’s unreasonable tone.
“So what if I am out of line? I’m warning you, Penny. Stay out of the way! If you keep standing there, I won’t be held responsible if you were hurt by accident!” Eugene threatened.
“I am not going anywhere!” Penny said sternly and stood still before Leon.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1414
“Very well! You brought this on yourself!” Eugene ran out of patience and charged toward Leon.
Since Penny was standing in front of Leon, she was swamped by Eugene’s true energy as well, but she refused to stand down.
“Screech!”
Just then, a black luxury car raced toward them and came to a sudden halt outside the yard.
The car door opened and Damian stepped out with two of his guards.
When Damian was informed that Nigel wreaked havoc in Cynthion Group and captured Leon’s friends, he guessed that Nigel was doing so to target Leon.
Damian, like the others, assumed that Leon was in the Initial Innate State, so there was no way that Leon could defeat Nigel. Worried for Leon’s safety, Eugene decided to hurry over from work.
“Stop!” Damian’s expression darkened when he saw that Eugene was about to attack Leon and Penny. He darted over and appeared before Penny and Leon to fend off Eugene’s attack.
“Dad! You’re finally here! I’m so glad!” Penny was overjoyed and sighed a breath of relief.
“Penny, what’s going on?” Damian ignored Eugene for a moment.
“Well,” Penny proceeded to explain everything.
“What?!” Damian was shocked.
He knew the extent of Nigel’s strength and he was the brightest of his generation, so he assumed that Leon. could never defeat Nigel. To his bewilderment, Leon managed to injure Nigel, and Damian was shaken to the
core.
Most important, even when Nigel was at fault, Eugene insisted to take revenge for his son and attempted to hurt Leon and Penny, when they were his juniors.
Completely enraged, Damian questioned coldly, “What’s the meaning of this, Eugene? Do you think you can walk all over us and no one in the first bloodline is going to deal with you?”
“I-” Eugene paled slightly.
He only dared to be forceful in front of Penny and Leon because the two were far weaker than him; however, Damian was his cousin and the first in line as the future heir of the family business, so Eugene knew that he had to be more respectful.
“Damian, Nigel might be wrong, but it’s just a one–time mistake and he didn’t hurt Leon’s friends, yet Leon beat him up badly. This is too much! He has to pay for what he did!” Eugene said with an excuse to blame it
all on Leon.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1415
Damian never expected Eugene to be so shameless and was angered when Eugene tried to blame it all on Leon. He sneered and gritted out, “What do you want, then?”
“It’s simple. Out of my respect for you, Leon can break one of his arms and kneel before Nigel to apologize. He does that, and we will let this pass! If he refuses to comply, he’ll pay for what he did!” Eugene said coldly.
“No way!” Damian refused without hesitation.
He agreed with Penny and since Nigel was punished accordingly, he wanted both Leon and Eugene to step down; if Eugene wanted an apology, Damian was prepared to convince Leon to comply so that the conflict could be resolved.
However, Eugene went too far and requested that Leon break his arm and there was no way that Damian would accept it.
Before he could say anything else, Leon interrupted him. “I think it’s a good idea!” Leon said casually.
“What?!”
“Leon, are you crazy? Are you going to break your arm to apologize to Nigel?”
Both Damian and Penny were taken aback and gaped at Leon in disbelief as they struggled to understand why Leon would accept such a humiliating condition.
“Damian, I’m not crazy! I never said that I’m going to be the one to break my arm!” Leon said calmly.
“What do you mean, then?”
Damian and Penny were both confused by his words.
“Nigel has offended my friends and as long as he breaks his arm and kneels to Cynthia and Ruth to apologize, I will consider sparing him!” Leon said his terms sternly.
“You want Nigel to break his arm and kneel to apologize?! A- Are we hearing you right?”
Both Damian and Penny were stunned and could not believe what they just heard.
They intended to mediate the fight, but to their bewilderment, Leon did not intend on settling for peace at all and requested Nigel to apologize by breaking his arm instead.
They were both shocked by Leon’s arrogance.
“You heard me right! I meant to break both his legs as punishment, but out of my respect for the Scammells, I will show mercy to him so long as he breaks his arm and apologize. If he refuses to take this opportunity, there’ll be no mercy for him!” Leon said coldly.
“Very well! How arrogant! You must have a death wish!” Eugene sneered viciously and turned to look at Damian. You heard every word he said, right? Since he wants a fight, I am not to be blamed here! If you continue to protect him, I will deal with you as well!”
Eugene was increasingly agitated and since he gave given a legitimate reason to attack Leon, he no longer hesitated and charged toward Leon at the speed of lightning.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1416
“Damn it!” Damian’s expression darkened.
He was frustrated with Leon’s arrogance and thought that it was foolish of Leon to provoke Eugene. However, Leon was Iris’s boyfriend and saved his life before, so there was no way that Damian would stand idly by while Eugene attacked Leon.
He charged toward Eugene and the two were instantly absorbed in battle.
“Damian, just remember that you asked for this! I might not be able to beat you in the past, but you’ve just recovered. Do you think that you have what it takes to defeat me?!” Eugene sneered and started attacking Damian’s lower body.
“Why you! How despicable!” Damian paled.
He was on the same power level as Eugene in the Peak Overlord State. However, since he suffered from paralysis, he was not able to train in the past few months. On top of that, he just started to recover and was still struggling with the mobility of his legs, so he was incapable of wielding the full extent of his power.
Eugene saw right through his weakness and started aiming his attack at Damian’s leg. Before long, Damian was losing.
“Leon, I’ll stall him! Take Penny, Iris, and the others and run!” Damian urged.
He knew that he could not defeat Eugene in his current state and could only try to buy Leon the time to escape because he knew that Leon would not get a chance to survive once Eugene defeated him.
“Run? Why should I run? I said that Nigel will break his arm, or I break his legs! I intend to keep my word!”
Leon said with determination.
“Y–You’re so stubborn!”
Both Damian and Penny were frustrated.
Penny, who assumed that Leon was in the Semi–Overlord State from the way he injured Nigel earlier, knew that Leon was far from being capable of defeating someone in the Peak Overlord State.
With Eugene there to support Nigel, having Nigel break his arm or breaking Nigel’s legs would be impossible and she could not understand what gave Leon the confidence.
“Leon, Ruth, and I didn’t get hurt. Why don’t we just let it go?” Cynthia said hesitantly.
She resented Nigel for trying to defile her and she was too proud to let him go without more severe punishment, but since Nigel was the eldest son of the Scammells‘ second bloodline and Iris’s relative by blood, Leon might make the Scammells his enemies if he insisted on seeking revenge for her.
Cynthia did not want to put Leon and Iris in a difficult position for her sake.
“There’s no way I’m letting this go! I’m going to make this right for you and Ruth!” Leon said sternly, before taking out a Dragon Pill and taking it without hesitation.
The Dragon Pills were extremely valuable and limited; on top of that, he would fall into a recovery phase that last for two days. Hence, he would not take the pill without consideration.
Cynthia was the second most important person to him after Iris and he would not allow anyone to hurt Cynthia. It did not matter how precious the Dragon Pills were or how bad the side effects would be; Leon was determined to make whoever hurt her pay for what they did.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1417
“Leon, you’re the man! Nigel’s a jerk and you have to teach him a lesson for our sake!” Ruth waved her fist in the air fiercely.
Nigel almost defiled Ruth and Cynthia and Ruth resented Nigel too much to let him go.
“Ruth’s right!”
“Leon, you have to make this right for them!”
Iris and Snow agreed along.
Iris developed a great bond with Ruth and Cynthia after spending time with them.
Though Nigel was technically her relative, she had the most horrible impression of him ever since Eugene tried to take Damian down during Patrick’s birthday, so she did not care if Leon declared war against the
second bloodline.
“You all must be crazy!” Penny gaped.
It was bad enough that Leon was crazy enough to challenge Eugene, so she was absolutely shaken that Iris and the others agreed with it.
Leon was far too weak to defeat Eugene, so Penny could not understand why Iris and the others would be so
confident in Leon.
“Don’t worry, Penny. Leon’s powerful and Eugene won’t be able to do anything to him,” Iris consoled her.
Iris, Ruth, and the others all saw how Leon defeated Orvald, who was in the Emperor State, so they knew that Leon would be able to deal with Eugene with ease.
“Very well! Let’s see how powerful this kid is!” Eugene was livid.
He planned to defeat Damian and move on to Leon. However, Leon, Iris, and the others did not show any respect for him and this completely provoked Eugene.
He shoved Damian aside and darted toward Leon at the speed of lightning.
“Leon, run! There’s no time!” Penny paled and shouted.
Leon ignored her and stood his ground in front of Iris and the others, before launching an attack on Eugene
as well.
“You arrogant little bast*rd!” Eugene sneered.
He was worried for a moment that Leon might escape and Damian might take the opportunity to keep him from going after Leon, but since Leon was arrogant enough to stand his ground, Eugene could attack without any concern..
He charged toward Leon in full force with the sole intention of destroying Leon with a single blow.
“It’s over. How foolish can Leon be? Does he have a death wish?” Penny paled.
She knew the extent of Eugene’s power and believed that there was no way Leon could defeat him.
Damian thought the same and wanted to rush to Leon’s rescue, but was sent too far to do so. He could only watch as Eugene closed in on Leon and was rendered completely powerless.
“Great! Dad, destroy this brat and avenge me!” Nigel shouted viciously and started to fantasize about the
sight when Eugene managed to ruin Leon completely as punishment for humiliating Nigel.
However, what happened next shook all the Scammells to the core.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1418
“Baam!”
Following the clash of their power, Eugene’s power tore through Leon’s attack and the aftermath of it swarmed toward Leon.
Without panicking, Leon remained still and took Eugene’s attack with the Mirror of Sovereign. At the same time, he launched a Double Attack and his true energy at the Initial Innate State filled his fists, before they slammed against Eugene’s chest.
Eugene was caught off guard and was instantly sent flying into the distance as he spewed blood from his mouth.
“H- How’s that even possible?!”
Damian, Penny, and Nigel were all stunned.
They all thought that Leon was far too weak to defend himself from Eugene’s attack. To their bewilderment, not only did Leon succeed, he took one step above to injure Eugene, who was in the Peak Overlord State, instead.
Through the initial shock, Damian fell into despair as he wished that Eugene could defeat Leon to avenge, only to be disappointed by the reality.
“T- This isn’t possible!” Eugene covered his chest and fumbled to get up as he gaped at Leon.
He could distinctively sense that his true energy tore through Leon’s defense, yet not only was Leon unscathed, but he also managed to attack and injure Eugene when Eugene placed all his energy into his attack.
It was beyond his understanding and he could not understand how Leon managed such a thing.
“Eugene Scammell, is there anything else you want to say now?” Leon sneered mockingly at Eugene.
“Don’t act smug so soon, Leon! You must have used some kind of trick to beat me! If you are really that capable, take another blow from me!”
Eugene’s expression darkened as he gritted his teeth and charged toward Leon once again despite the pain in
his chest.
Among the third generation of martial artists from all families in the Southern region like Willie and Nigel, only reached the Peak Supreme State or the Semi–Overlord State and since Leon was just a young man who came from a small city, Eugene could not bring himself to believe that Leon surpassed him in strength, so he assumed that Leon managed to trick his way into winning.
Since Eugene was now aware of it, he believed that he could defeat Leon so long as he attacked carefully.
“You just don’t give up, do you? I’ll show you what true despair feels like!” Leon sneered and stood still without moving at all to wait for Eugene’s attack.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1419
Eugene hesitated when Leon remained unmoving. Though he guessed that something was wrong, he did not know that Leon possessed the Mirror of Sovereign.
All he knew was that he faced Leon directly and Leon managed to summon his true energy even though he was supposed to reach the bottom of his strength. Since that was how Eugene was injured, he did not dare to face Leon off directly if Leon continued to attack, but Leon simply stood without attacking or guarding,
which confused him.
After a moment of hesitation, Eugene narrowed his eyes viciously. “Die!”
He did not know what was up Leon’s sleeves, but he knew that Leon was only a man and once he took Eugene’s attack, he would suffer severe injuries.
Eugene cast aside all doubts and slammed his fist against Leon’s chest.
Learning from the mistake he made earlier, Eugene did not place all his power into the attack and saved his strength just in case.
“It’s over.”
“Did Leon freeze out of fear?”
The looks on Damian and Penny darkened.
They shared Eugene’s view and thought that Leon only managed to survive earlier with certain tricks.
It would be unrealistic for them to assume that Leon surpassed the Peak Overlord State at his age and when Leon stood still, they could not help but worry for him.
On the contrary, Nigel was overjoyed and excited; hope took over the despair he felt earlier and he prayed that Eugene destroyed Leon with a single blow.
However, what happened next stunned everyone in the scene.
“Baam!”
Eugene’s fist slammed against Leon’s chest, but Leon stood strong without wavering.
“H- How is that possible?!” Eugene gaped in disbelief.
Damian, Nigel, and the others were shocked that Eugene, who was in the Peak Overlord State, fail to even give Leon a single scratch.
It was all so surreal that they were shaken to the core.
“Know your place!” Leon scoffed and launched a swift punch at Eugene’s chest.
“Damn it!” Eugene was terrified, but he held back as a precaution this time around and backed away from Leon’s attack.
Unfortunately, sage art triumphed over martial art.
If Leon was attacking with his true energy, Eugene would be swift enough to escape, but since Leon was attacking with spiritual energy and the two were too close to one another, Eugene would not be able to dodge
the attack as swiftly as he might be.
He tilted his body to the side at the very last moment to protect his chest but was hit on the shoulder by Leon’s spiritual energy.
“Snap!”
Following the crisp sound of bones cracking, he grumbled and backed away; his left arm falling limp as the bones around his left shoulder were completely shattered.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1420
“Damn you, kid. So you have been hiding a defensive tool!” Eugene anchored himself and held his injured arm with a dark expression.
Leon took his attack without suffering any injuries, so he realized that Leon must have a defensive tool that could fend off the attack from someone in the Peak Overlord State, or Leon would never be able to injure him.
Meanwhile, Penny and Damian both realized the same thing as well.
“I see. Leon managed to beat Uncle Eugene because he has a defensive tool,” Realization dawned on Penny.
“No, that’s not all! Leon himself is already in the Advanced Overlord State and with the defensive tool he owns, he managed to win with ease,” Damian said.
He was far more experienced and could tell that Leon was at the Advanced Overlord State judging from the speed and explosive power he displayed earlier.
As he predicted, after taking the Dragon Pill, he temporarily rose to the rank of Intermediate Overlord State and since no one of the same levels would be able to beat him, he could be considered close to the Advanced
Overlord State.
“What? Seriously?!” Penny was shaken.
Most of the descendants of powerful families in the Southern region in the younger generation were in the
Peak Supreme or Semi–Overlord State and it was extremely rare for one to reach the Overlord State.
If Leon indeed reached the Advanced Overlord State for someone his age who came from a small city like Springfield City, he would have to be extremely talented.
“It’s true. Who would have known that not only is he brilliant in other aspects? He turns out to be a talented martial artist as well! We have all underestimated him!” Damian stared at Leon intently.
He always felt that it was a shame that a skilled doctor like Leon, who possessed skills for alchemy and a sharp sense for business, was only in the Initial Innate State.
It was not until this moment that he realized Leon was just as talented in martial art as he was in other aspects and he was far superior compared to Nigel and Willie.
Realization dawned on Damian that the Scammells underestimated Leon.
“How can this be happening?”
Contrary to Damian and Penny’s reaction, Nigel’s heart sank in despair.
He thought that Leon was only in the Initial Innate State and was not worried about being defeated by him; on top of that, he always prided himself as the brightest martial artist of his generation. However, not only was Leon far more powerful, he possessed a valuable defensive tool that gave him an advantage over his father.
Nigel was shaken to the core.
