The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1511

“Grandpa, the Angel’s Fruit is really important to my grandpa in Springfield City and Leon. Can’t you think of something you can do to help us get the fruit from the Martells?” Iris pleaded.

“You want me to get the Angel’s Fruit for Albert Young and Leon? Do you think that’s possible?!” Patrick sneered.

Due to his daughter, Priscilla’s death, he resented both Albert and Gilbert. As for Leon, Patrick’s impression of him could not sink any lower due to what happened with Cynthia.

He reluctantly agreed to help with the marketing of the alchemical pills, and Iris took advantage of his compromise to ask for his help again in getting the Angel’s Fruit for Leon and Albert, so Patrick was livid.

“Grandpa, I’m begging you,” Iris pleaded.

“No way! If you want me to get the Angel’s Fruit, I can help, but only if you agree to break up with Leon!”

Patrick scoffed.

“That’s never going to happen! I won’t leave Leon!” Iris shook her head and felt annoyed that the focus fell on the relationship between her and Leon once again.

“I’m not going to help, then!” Patrick said.

“But,” Iris’s heart sank and she helplessly turned to look at Damian in hope that Damian could help to convince Patrick.

Damian noticed the way she was looking at him and stood forward. “Dad, I understand that you are upset with Leon, but Priscilla died at a young age and Iris has suffered so much alone throughout the years. She has finally reunited with us. We would be cruel if we don’t help her,” Damian said.

“I,” Patrick was rendered speechless.

His daughter’s death was always the biggest pain in his life and Damian caused him to waver.

Amy, too, was distraught when she thought of Priscilla and said, “Patrick, Damian’s right! Iris is your granddaughter by blood and since she is asking for your help, you have to do it, even if it’s just for Priscilla’s sake!”

“Alright, alright! I’ll help.” Patrick sighed and finally caved.

“Thank you, Grandpa,” Iris sighed a breath of relief.

“Iris, let’s make this clear. I’ll try my best to help, but there’s no guarantee that I can get the Angel’s Fruit!” Patrick deadpanned.

Though the Scammells had a wide network of connections, the Martells were far more powerful than them in all aspects, so the Martells might not corporate no matter what Patrick did.

“I understand. So long as you try your best,” Iris said.

She only asked for Patrick’s help out of desperation and if he failed, she could always try to find another way once Leon arrived.

Just then, they heard footsteps approaching and a man hurried into the living room.

It was none other than the man who reported about the Angel’s Fruit earlier, Max.

“Elder, the eldest son of the Martells, Charlie Martell has come to visit,” Max said.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1512

“What?” Patrick was shocked.

He just promised to help Iris with obtaining the Angel’s Fruit, and before he could act, Charlie came to visit.

Patrick was completely caught by surprise; both Iris and Damian were confused as well as they tried to figure out why Charlie would visit the Scammells.

“Max, invite Mister Martell in!” Patrick commanded.

“Yes!” Max said, before leaving the room.

Shortly after, Charlie strode in with a delicate gift box in his hands, followed by two towering bodyguards.

“Greetings to you, Elder Patrick.” Charlie approached and bowed deeply.

“Hello, Mister Martell. Please take a seat,” Patrick smiled and was impressed by Charlie’s manners.

After a brief exchange of pleasantry, everyone took their seats.

“Mister Martell, what brought you here?” Patrick cut to the chase.

“I fell in love with Miss Young after meeting her for the first time earlier, so I’ve come to ask for her hand in marriage,” Charlie explained.

“What?!”

Iris and Damian were both shaken to the core.

“What kind of a joke is this, Mister Martell? I told you that I have a boyfriend. Have some respect!” Iris said sharply.

She never expected Charlie to come all the way to offer a marriage proposal after failing to pursue her earlier in the Martells Mansion, and she was completely caught off–guard.

“Please don’t be upset, Miss Young! As I said, so long as you haven’t married, I have the right to pursue you! I have the freedom to do that, don’t you think?” Charlie said calmly.

“But,” Iris was completely rendered speechless.

“Elder Scammells, in good faith, I have brought the Angel’s Fruit with me! So long as you agree to the marriage, the Angel’s Fruit will be my gift to Miss Young! On top of that, I’ll get my grandfather to come over with the dowry after this to confirm the engagement!” Charlie said as he opened a delicate to reveal the dried Angel’s Fruit inside.

“Mister Martell, are you serious?” Patrick gaped in disbelief.

Realization dawned on him that Charlie fell in love with Iris when she went to the Martells to seek the

Angel’s Fruit, which led him here to make a marriage proposal to the Scammells.

The Angel’s Fruit was a scarce specimen and could easily be sold for tens of millions. The fact that Charlie was willing to offer it as a gift means that he was committed.

“Of course! I’d never joke about marriage!” Charlie said seriously.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1513

“That’s great!” Patrick beamed.

He wanted Iris to leave Leon ever since he found out that Leon was dating multiple women at the same time.

The fact that Charlie came to propose to Iris delivered Patrick with the solution to his trouble.

Charlie was the eldest son of the Martells and Iris was a lady of the Scammells, so the two were a perfect match for one another.

If the marriage was confirmed, not only would Iris be able to settle down with a good husband, the Scammells would be able to join forces with the Martells, and that would benefit the family immensely.

“No! I won’t agree to it!” Terrified, Iris objected.

“Why not? Iris, Mister Martell here is modest and kind, and he loves you! Others would kill for a marriage proposal this good. You can’t miss it!” Patrick deadpanned.

Charlie remained polite and modest throughout his conversation with the Scammells and Patrick was impressed that he offered the Angel’s Fruit as a gift.

“Grandpa, Leon is my boyfriend and I’ll never marry someone else,” Iris said with frustration but was interrupted by Patrick before she could finish.

“Don’t even mention that name to me! Leon Wolf is an irresponsible womanizer who’s not worthy of you! Mister Martell here is far more eligible. Break up with Leon and be with Mister Martell instead. I’m sure that he’ll make you happy!” Patrick said.

“Stop it, Grandpa! I’ll never leave Leon, so just give up already! If this is all, I’m leaving!” Iris was annoyed and turned to leave without wasting her time arguing with Patrick.

“Why you! You’re beyond saving!” Patrick was furious and could not understand what spell Leon placed Iris under for her to prefer sharing Leon with other women rather than accepting Charlie.

“Miss Young, don’t you want to Angel’s Fruit?” Charlie called out calmly as Iris left.

“Um,” She paused and stopped.

“Miss Young, I know that you need the Angel’s Fruit! Think twice before you act. If you leave, I’ll make sure that you’ll never obtain the Angel’s Fruit!” He threatened casually as though he had Iris wrapped around his fingers.

“Why you!” Iris paled and her heart sank.

The Angel’s Fruit was important to both Albert and Leon; without it, Albert’s damaged Energy Sea Point would never recover and that was the last thing she wanted. However, there was no way that she would ever marry Charlie as well.

Instantly, she found herself at a crossroads and did not know what to do.

“It’s just an Angel’s Fruit. It’s not that important!”

Just then, Leon strode in alongside Snow with a sneer on his face.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1514

“Here you are, Leon! I’m so glad to see you!” Iris beamed and hurried over.

“Brat, are you Miss Young’s boyfriend?” Charlie scanned Leon up and down with a scowl, before realizing that Leon was Iris’s boyfriend.

“That’s right. Who are you?” Leon stared at him sharply.

“I’m the eldest son of the Martells, Charlie Martell!” Charlie smirked smugly.

“You!” Realization dawned on Leon. He already learned from Iris through the phone about what happened in the Martells Mansion, but he was clueless as to why Charlie was in the Scammells Mansion.

“Iris, what’s going on? What happened?” Leon turned his attention to Iris.

“He came to make a marriage proposal,” Iris explained the situation briefly.

“What?!” Loen was both shocked and enraged.

The Angel’s Fruit belonged to the Martells and it was understandable that they did not wish to sell it to Iris. However, Charlie insisted on pursuing Iris and shamelessly proposed marrying her despite knowing she had a boyfriend.

Such behavior was unacceptable and Leon was beyond furious.

“Mister Martell, what’s the meaning of this? Getting between a couple is immoral. You knew that Iris has a boyfriend and insisted on coming between us, don’t you think you are out of line here?” Leon said coldly.

“So what if I’m out of line? It’s a free world and everyone has the right to pursue who they want! I have the right to take a liking or pursue anyone, so it’s none of your business!” Charlie sneered in contempt.

“What a load of nonsense! In that case, if I want to pursue your mom, does it mean that I can steal your dad’s woman?” Leon was completely enraged by Charlie’s attitude.

Instantly, everyone in the room was stunned and their jaws dropped at Leon’s vulgar words.

Silence fell over the living room and Charlie snapped out of it. “Brat, how dare you insult me? You must have a death wish!” He was livid and lost his composure.

“Why are you getting all riled up? You were the one who said that everyone has the right to pursue anyone they like, right? Isn’t it my right to pursue someone then?” Leon sneered mockingly.

Iris was always someone he held dearest. He was always a tolerant man and would not have insulted Charlie if Charlie did not attempt to get in between him and Iris and try to argue his way out of it with nonsense.

“Why you!” Rendered speechless, Charlie’s expression darkened.

“Leon, that’s enough. Don’t you want the Angel’s Fruit?” Iris tugged at Leon’s arm worriedly, but at the same time, she was happy.

She knew that Leon was angry because he valued her, but Leon was too reckless.

The Angel’s Fruit belonged to the Martells and if Leon provoked Charlie, it would only be more challenging for them to obtain the fruit in the future.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1515

“Um,” Leon paused and sobered.

“Kid, no one has ever dared to insult me that way. You’re the first! I challenge you to a duel!” Charlie said coldly as he glared daggers at Loen.

“A duel? I’m not interested!” Leon scoffed and rejected the challenge.

“Why you! Are you scared or something?” Charlie mocked.

“Whatever gets you through the night. I don’t have time to waste with you! Iris, let’s go!” Leon ignored

Charlie and was about to leave with Iris.

As Iris mentioned, Charlie had the Angel’s Fruit and Leon knew that it would not benefit him in any way if he caused a scene.

Seeing how Leon was about to leave, Charlie felt frustrated.

He was in the middle of the Scammells‘ territory and Leon was a part of the Scammells since he was Iris’s boyfriend; if Leon refused to accept the challenge, Charlie could not possibly hurt him in the Scammells, Mansion, but he was reluctant to let Leon go.

“You coward! If you won’t accept a duel between two men, can you call yourself a man?” Charlie attempted to provoke him.

“Who are you calling a coward?” Leon stilled and turned around with a dark look on his face.

In the three years he married the Mansons, everyone thought that he was a coward and Leon considered that the biggest humiliation he went through. What Charlie said struck where it hurt and Leon could not tolerate it.

“I’m talking about you! Only a strong man has the right to claim a woman as perfect as Miss Young. A useless coward like you isn’t worthy of her! If you know what’s best for you, you’ll break up with her and serve her up to me, or I’ll destroy you!” Charlie noticed that he successfully provoked Leon and sneered smugly.

“Very well!” Leon sneered.

He would have left if all Charlie did was insult him, but the fact that he dared to dream of claiming Iris as his own completely enraged Leon, and he completely cast the thought about the Angel’s Fruit aside.

“Martell, right? I accept the challenge!” Leon said coldly.

Though the Angel’s Fruit was important to him, he was far from reaching the Golden Phase, so he had no use for the Angel’s Fruit at the moment. Even if he failed to obtain the fruit from the Martells, he could always

look for another one elsewhere.

Iris was far more important to Leon than the Angel’s Fruit and since Charlie was trying to steal his woman, there was no one that Leon would put up with the humiliation.

“Great! Remember that you said that!” Charlie was overjoyed.

The Martells were one of the most ancient lineages of martial artists and all Martells trained with an Advanced Power method. Charlie was a talented man and long reached the Intermediately Overlord State, so

he was one of the brightest of his generation and it was unrealistic to think that Leon would be a match for him.

The fact that Leon accepted the duel worked perfectly in his favor.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1516

“Mister Martell, don’t do it!”

Patrick was shocked that Charlie and Leon decided to duel and hurried over to stop Charlie.

“Elder Scammell, why are you stopping me?” Charlie scowled in confusion.

After the earlier exchange, he could tell that Patrick despised Leon and wanted Iris to break up with Leon to be with him instead, so Patrick should be pleased to watch as Charlie taught Leon a lesson. To his bewilderment, Patrick stopped him from fighting Leon instead and Charlie could not understand his intention.

“Mister Martell, you don’t understand. Leon’s extremely formidable and you won’t win against him! Let’s just let this go!” Patrick said.

“What?! Did you just say that I won’t win against him? Elder Scammell, what kind of a joke is this?” Stunned, Charlie could hardly believe what he heard.

He did not know the depth of Leon’s power, but he was aware that the Scammells were only an ordinary family with a training method in the Basic Power class. Even the most talented youngster of the Scammells, Nigel, was only in the Peak Supreme State. Needless to say, Leon must be weak if he was a relative of the Scammells.

Charlie was in the Intermediate Overlord State and he should be able to crush Leon with ease.

However, Patrick warned him that he was no match for Leon, and Charlie was amused by it.

“I’m not kidding! Leon’s probably in the Peak Overlord State right now and he’s stronger than the martial artists in the younger generation!” Patrick warned Charlie.

Patrick knew about the conflict Leon had with the Scammells‘ second bloodline when Nigel kidnapped Cynthia and Ruth. Not only did Leon break Nigel’s legs, but he also managed to severely injure Eugene, who was in the Peak Overlord State.

Judging from the strength Leon displayed during the conflict, Patrick could easily come to the conclusion that Charlie was not a match for Leon unless there was a miracle.

“The Peak Overlord State? Him? Elder Scammell, do you take me for a fool?” Charlie pointed at Leon with amusement.

Though there were a few martial artists of the younger generation in the southern region who reached the Peak Overlord State, they were all direct descendants of powerful families who were also known as geniuses. Whereas Leon was only an ordinary man who came from a small family like the Scammells, so he could never believe that Leon reached the Peak Overlord State.

“I mean it! Believe whatever you want!” Patrick’s expression darkened as his kindness was met with Charlie’s doubt.

“It’s just not possible! Elder Scammell, you must be mistaken, or maybe this brat fooled you! Let me see for myself if he actually is in the Peak Overlord State!” Charlie scoffed and stared at Leon in contempt.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1517

“You’ll pay for this,” Patrick sighed with resignation.

He warned Charlie multiple times and there was nothing else he could do since Charlie refused to believe him.

‘If Charlie insists on fighting Leon, I guess I’ll just let him be!‘ He thought, ‘I’m going to stand by and stop them whenever it gets too serious!‘

Once Patrick moved out of the way, Charlie pointed at Leon arrogantly and said, “you’ll die today, brat!”

“Know your place!” Leon’s expression darkened and he immediately walked over.

“Out of my respect for Miss Young, I’ll give you one last chance! If you agree to leave her alone from now on, I can consider letting you go, or there’ll be no mercy for you!” Charlie threatened with a sneer, as he preferred that Leon take the initiative to break up with Iris.

“Enough chit–chatting! Let’s get started!” Leon said impatiently.

“If you want to die that desperately, I’ll help you out with that!” Charlie’s expression darkened and he immediately charged at Leon at the speed of lightning.

“Bring it on!” Leon roared and darted forward, launching the Double Attack at Charlie.

“Die!” Charlie narrowed his eyes viciously.

After Patrick warned him, he was slightly worried as he started to wonder if Leon was truly in the Peak Overlord State. However, seeing how Leon’s speed and explosive power fell short, all of Charlie’s worry faded.

If he was not mistaken, Leon must be in the Peak Supreme State or the Semi–Overlord State, which was far from the Intermediate Overlord State that he was in.

Charlie strengthened his attack, aiming to destroy Leon with a single blow to avenge the humiliation Leon put him through earlier.

All women loved heroes and Charlie believed that Iris might break up with Leon and choose him instead if he managed to display his strength by injuring Loen with a single blow.

“Baam!”

He was excited with the picture he painted in his mind when his fist collided with Leon’s attack.

As he expected, his true energy tore through Leon’s defense and darted toward Leon’s chest.

“This is your dernise, kid!” Charlie sneered triumphantly.

Before he could taste the victory, what happened next shook him.

Leon did not fret and simply tilted his body slightly to take Charlie’s attack with the Mirror of Sovereign, before summoning the true energy in the Intermediate Innate State to strike at Charlie.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1518

“Wh- what on earth is this?” Charlie gaped when he detected Leon’s true energy as he did not expect Leon to wield yet another attack toward the end of his initial attack.

Before he had the time to react, Leon’s Double Attack slammed against his chest.

Charlie spewed blood under the impact and was instantly sent flying into the distance; a sharp pain pierced through his chest and he realized that he suffered severe internal injuries.

“H- How’s that possible?!” Charlie landed on the ground and covered his chest in disbelief.

He was certain that he would be able to injure Leon with a single blow. However, not only was Leon unscathed, he injured Charlie instead.

It was far beyond his comprehension and Charlie simply could not understand how Leon managed such a thing.

“It’s my turn now!” Leon took advantage of the situation and darted toward Charlie, who was laying on the ground.

“Leon, stop!” Patrick was shocked by the sight.

He knew that Leon was far more powerful than Charlie and since Charlie was already defeated with severe injuries, the Scammells would have a difficult time explaining themselves to the Martells if Leon proceeded to leave any permanent damage on Charlie.

Not daring to risk anything, Patrick immediately released his true energy, which swarmed Leon to prevent him from going after Charlie.

“Damn it!” Leon’s expression darkened at the powerful energy surging toward him.

Charlie stepped over the line and Leon was reluctant to simply let him go. However, Patrick was already in the Emperor State and Leon could not possibly rival Patrick.

Thankfully, Patrick only meant to stop Leon and did not wield his full power, which left Leon with an opportunity.

Leon tilted his body to the side and used the Mirror of Sovereign to take most of the blow, before using the aftermath of Patrick’s energy to increase his speed as he charged toward Charlie.

“Don’t!” Terrified, Charlie rolled on the ground and narrowly escaped Leon’s attack, but before he could get back up on his feet, Leon ran toward him and stomp his leg onto Charlie’s chest.

Charlie instantly spewed blood from his mouth at the impact and remained completely still out of fear that

Leon would land another lethal blow at him.

“Wh- What do you think you are doing? Let me go!” Charlie muttered in fear.

“Leon, don’t be reckless! He’s the eldest son of the Martells. Don’t do anything that you will regret,” Patrick shouted.

He thought that with him supervising the duel, he would be able to put an end to it whenever he wanted. In the end, he realized that he underestimated Leon, who somehow managed to withstand his attack.

Patrick was utterly stunned, and at the same time, he was also worried that Leon would kill Charlie in a fit of rage and the consequences for it would be unbearable to both Leon and the Scammells.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1519

“Mister Martell, this is your first and final warning! Iris is my woman. Try pursuing her again and I will have your head!” Leon said coldly.

He was not a cruel man and since he had no personal grudge against Charlie, he would have never killed a man over a minor dispute even if Patrick did not stop him.

Leon only meant to intimidate Charlie and warn him about the consequence of his actions if he tried to do the same thing again.

“Yeah, okay,” Terrified, Charlie dared not to protest.

“Alright. Scram!” Leon scoffed and stepped aside.

Relieved, Charlie crawled up and ran with the Angel’s Fruit and his two bodyguards.

Patrick felt conflicted as he watched Charlie run.

He was impressed by Charlie and wanted Iris to accept Charlie’s proposal. However, Charlie simply turned out to be an arrogant young man who fell short in terms of courage and talent when compared to Leon, so Patrick could not help but feel disappointed.

Patrick could not deny that he was impressed by Leon’s talent in martial arts and abilities in the medical and alchemical fields. The only drawback was that Leon was a womanizer who dated multiple women at a time. He was worried that Iris would have her heart broken, and desperately wanted the two to part ways.

Relieved that the marriage proposal was taken off the table, Iris relaxed and smiled at Leon. “You came at the right time, Leon! Grandpa has just promised me that he will help to advertise the alchemical pills. Since you are already here, you should discuss the details with him.”

“What? Really?” Leon was shocked.

He knew that Patrick was upset with him because of what happened with Cynthia, and did not expect Patrick to be willing to help.

“That’s right! Leon, let me make this clear. I’m helping you because you did us a favor before, but that doesn’t mean that I approve of your relationship with Iris. Unless you cast the other women aside and focus on Iris, you’ll never have my blessings!” Patrick scoffed.

“Grandpa, I’m not dating Cynthia or the others,” Leon sighed.

He tried to explain himself to Patrick before, but Patrick simply refused to believe him.

“You dare to date multiple women at once, yet you don’t have the gut to admit it! How irresponsible! You have disappointed me!” Patrick snorted furiously as his impression of Leon worsen.

“Leon, forget it. Just focus on discussing the marketing plan for now,” Iris interfered.

“Well, I don’t need it. It doesn’t matter if the Scammells will help,” Leon said hesitantly.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1520

He cackled.

Then, he stepped on the black lotus and headed in Yandel’s direction.

“Again?!”

Upon seeing James charging toward him, Yandel, who finally got a brief moment of respite, cursed, “Who the hell do you think you are?”

He was enraged.

Ignoring his injuries, he summoned his full strength, and his aura was drastically boosted.

An illusory ferocious tiger formed out of True Energy materialized behind him. Imbued with a mysterious power, it exuded an invincible aura.

At that moment, the tiger roared and leaped toward James. Sensing the looming danger, James tried to dodge but to no avail. The tiger slashed at his chest and tore a chunk of meat away.

James could feel excruciating pain throughout his body. At that moment, however, a black aura was discharged from his body, which immediately rejuvenated his wound.

“That’s all you’ve got?”

James smirked.

As the battle dragged on, he now had a better understanding of his own body.

He was invincible. As long as he was not wiped out in a single move, he could not be defeated. Even when faced against opponents several times greater in strength, he was unafraid.

“What a freak!”

Wynter was shocked. Though she had seen powerful figures before, James was on an entirely different level.

The others were wearing grim expressions.

James’ strength was simply too extraordinary, especially his rejuvenating abilities.

The crowd watched the battle as their blood ran cold.

Meanwhile, Yandel was filled with consternation.

Though he had performed his Natal Supernatural, he could not annihilate James. As his energy would be significantly depleted after performing his Natal Supernatural, this was his last resort. However, once performed, the Natal Supernatural should be able to annihilate all standing in his way.

“Die.”

As James’ body recovered, he went on the move once more.

Meanwhile, the others simply stood idly by and watched.

Without their interference, James had a much easier time pursuing Yandel. Even though Yandel could injure him, he could not kill him.

As the battle ensued, Yandel began losing ground. At the moment, his injuries were grave, and he would be in mortal danger if he did not get medical attention in time.

What are you standing there for, Leandro? We should work together and kill him!”

Yandel pleaded.

At that moment, James appeared before him.

Threads of black aura oozed out of the black lotus, enveloping the injured Yandel and binding him in mid-air.

Yandel struggled with all his might. At that moment, his expression became contorted with pain.

“Break!”

He roared.

He summoned all his strength and forcibly broke free of the Demonic Energy enveloping him.

The Demonic Energy returned to the black lotus.

Yandel, meanwhile, was gravely injured.

At that moment, his life was hanging by a thread, and he could no longer continue fighting.

“Die.”

James’ expression was ice-cold.

He knew he had to slaughter a couple of them before he could earn the right to negotiate with the Overworld.

“N-No more… I admit defeat.”

Sensing James’ killing intent, Yandel was horrified.
