The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1591

“What do you think? I told you that I’m going to send you to meet Asmodeus!” Leon said maliciously and he started to walk toward the Black Gorilla.

“Don’t! Brat – No, Mister Wolf, I was wrong. Please have mercy and forgive me! So long as you let me go, I’ll change my ways and never cause you any trouble again!” The Black Gorilla completely caved and started pleading for his life sincerely.

Since Leon managed to kill Asmodeus, who was in the Semi Almighty State, the Black Gorilla was utterly terrified and Leon wanted to kill him. In the face of death, he could only swallow his pride.

“It’s too late for that!” Leon scoffed and raised his arm, before hesitating.

Though the Black Gorilla was hardly a kind man, the crimes he committed were not comparable to vicious thugs like Asmodeus and he did not deserve to die for his sins. Leon never enjoyed taking lives and he would often spare people like the Black Gorilla after destroying their power.

However, the circumstances with the Black Gorilla were different.

The Black Gorilla found out about the tool Leon owned and knew that Leon killed Asmodeus. If Leon simply let him go after destroying his power, he would be caught in endless trouble if the Black Gorilla publicized everything he knew.

Instantly, Leon found himself at a crossroads and wondered if he should take the Black Gorilla’s life mercilessly.

“Mister Wolf, I’ve realized my faults. Please spare my life!” The Black Gorilla noticed Leon’s hesitation and bowed deeply despite the pain throughout his body.

“Forget it! The gods are merciful and I’ll spare your life today. However, you can’t escape justice and I’ll send you to a place to reflect on your crimes!” Leon thought of the Dragon Corps and instantly came to a decision.

He slammed his palm against the Black Gorilla’s Energy Sea Point and destroyed his power.

The Dragon Corps was an organization that specialized in punishing the wicked and Leon intended to send the Black Gorilla to the Dragon Corps to serve a few years‘ sentences so that he could reflect on the crimes he committed. That way, Leon would not need to take a life and could prevent the Black Gorilla from exposing his secrets.

“Ah!” The Black Gorilla wailed and glared at Leon in venomous fury.

He might have been grateful to Leon if he was spared, but having his power destroyed was almost as terrible as killing him.

The Black Gorilla resented Leon and decided to inform the Southern Boss that Leon killed Asmodeus and that he owned an extremely powerful tool so that the Southern Boss would avenge him.

As he was absorbed in his fantasy, he was lifted off his feet..

Leon grabbed his clothes behind his back and lifted the Black Gorilla as though he was simply lifting a ragged doll.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1592

“Mister Wolf, didn’t you say that you are going to spare me? What are you doing?” Startled, the Black Gorilla looked at Leon in terror.

Even an ant had the will to live, not to mention a human. Though the Black Gorilla’s power was destroyed, he was still glad to be alive, but since Leon did not seem to intend on letting him go, his heart started racing.

“Don’t panic! Since I’ve promised to spare your life, I’ll keep my word! I’m going to send you to a place and if you truly recognize your faults, you might be freed in three to five years!” Leon smiled devilishly. “What? Wh- Where are you sending me?” The Black Gorilla’s expression darkened as an ominous feeling took over him.

He thought that Leon would release him and already decided to beg for the Southern Boss’s assistance to seek revenge on Leon once he returned. To his bewilderment, Leon had other plans and shattered his hope completely.

“You’ll know once we get there!” Leon said, before ignoring the Black Gorilla’s protest and striding toward the yard where he parked his car.

He opened the car door and tossed the Black Gorilla inside, before returning to the living room to wrap Asmodeus’s corpse with a blanket and tossing it into the back trunk of his car.

Once everything was done, he drove toward the Dragon Corps branch in the southern region.

In the Dragon Corps branch in the southern region.

Like the branch in Springfield City, the National Security Department was located near the entrance and the Dragon Corps was located behind it.

Since the two were connected, no one could get to the Dragon Corps without getting past the National Security Department.

Outside the National Security Department, Leon parked his car and the Black Gorilla’s expression darkened.

He was terrified by Leon’s strength at first, but since Leon destroyed his power and refused to let him go, he saw no reason in fearing Leon if he was going to suffer either way.

“Leon, what exactly are you trying to do? I’m warning you! I’m the Southern Boss’s subordinate and if you know what’s best for yourself, you’ll let me go right now, or the Southern Boss will make you pay!” The black Gorilla said coldly in an attempt to terrorize Leon into releasing him by mentioning the Southern Boss.

“What about the Southern Boss? Others might fear him, but I don’t! Don’t even bother trying to scare me by mentioning his name!” Leon scoffed and ignored the Black Gorilla’s threat.

Leon knew that the Southern Boss was practically the ruler of the southern region and Leon was too weak to rival the Southern Boss’s power; however, he did not fear the Southern Boss since he was a member of the Dragon Corps.

While Leon had no power to attack the Southern Boss, the Southern Boss would struggle to harm Leon as well.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1593

“You sure are good at bragging! You will regret this once you see the Southern Boss in person!” The Black Gorilla sneered at Leon’s attitude.

He had no clue how Leon managed to kill Asmodeus, but was certain that the Southern Boss was far superior in strength compared to Asmodeus. On top of that, the Southern Boss had countless subordinates in the Emperor States and even a few loyal followers in the Almighty State.

With such a formidable army, even the Thompsons would have thought twice before crossing the Southern Boss; Leon would be rendered helpless if he faced the Southern Boss’s wraith and the Black Gorilla struggled to understand how Leon could be so confident.

“Alright. Save that talk! We’re here, so get out!” Leon scoffed and opened the car door to pull the Black Gorilla out, before walking to the back of the car to retrieve Asmodeus’s body.

The Black Gorilla scanned his surrounding and soon realized where Leon brought him. “The National Security Department? Brat, why are you taking me to the Dragon Corps? Are you going to hand me to the Dragon Corps?” He gaped.

He thought back to how Leon mentioned that he would be locked away for years and the realization dawned on him that Leon intended to hand him over to the Dragon Corps.

“That’s right! Reflect on your mistakes here in the Dragon Corps! If you behave, they might let you go in a few years. If you refuse to reflect on yourself, you will spend the rest of your life here!” Leon sneered.

“What?!” The Black Gorilla paled but snapped out of the initial shock almost immediately. “Don’t even try to scare me! The Dragon Corps rarely interfere with personal grudges. Who are you to tell them what to do? Besides, I didn’t commit any severe crime, so why would they lock me away?” The Black Gorilla smirked.

As one of the most infamous martial artists, he committed countless vicious acts, but he never did anything that would provoke the Dragon Corps. He was a careful man and was careful not to leave any evidence of his

crimes behind.

Without proof, the Dragon Corps would not lock him away even if Leon handed him over to them.

“Just because you attacked me twice! That’s more than enough!” Leon said calmly.

“Is that so? Let’s see if the Dragon Corps is going to lock me up over that!” The Black Gorilla scoffed.

He indeed attacked Leon to rob him of the Spiritual Pearl, but he did not cause Leon any actual da. Since the world of martial artists valued strength above everything, the Dragon Corps rarely interfered so long as there were no severe damage to anyone. Hence, the Black Gorilla did not believe that the Dragon Corps would punish him with imprisonment over such an insignificant matter.

Concerned that Leon might change his mind, he white–knuckled through his pain and started walking toward the National Security Department.

The Dragon Corps valued justice and without actual proof of his crimes, the Black Gorilla knew that it was likely for the Dragon Corps to release and he would be far safer in the hands of the Dragon Corps in

comparison to being at Leon’s mercy.

In his mind, he decided that Leon was foolish for taking him to the Dragon Corps.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1594

Leon was more than pleased that the Black Gorilla was willing to go to the National Security Department on

his own and hurried after him.

“This is the National Security Department! Employees only!”

Both Leon and the Black Gorilla were instantly stopped by two guards dressed in black uniforms.

“Good sirs, I’m a martial artist! This kid injured me and robbed me of my Luminous Pearl. I need to seek the Dragon Corps‘ help!” Before Leon had the time to explain the situation, the Black Gorilla got ahead of him and manipulated the truth by saying that it was Leon who robbed him.

If he was lucky, the Dragon Corps might help to take the Pearl from Leon and deliver it to him; even if he failed to obtain the Spiritual Pearl, he could at least annoy Leon.

“What?! Kid, you dare to rob someone in front of the National Security Department? How dare you?!”

The guards were both shocked.

The Dragon Corps aimed to execute justice and maintained the order of the martial artists‘ community, and though robbery was not encouraged, the Dragon Corps rarely interfered with such matters. However, it was different when the victim sought help and as members of the National Security Department, the guards could not simply ignore it.

“What the-“Leon froze as he never expected the Black Gorilla to turn the blame on him. “Please don’t listen to him. There are important matters that I need to discuss with the Dragon Corps. Please let us through!” He cut to the chase and ignored the Black Gorilla completely.

“You don’t get to go to the Dragon Corps just because you want to!”

The two guards mocked Leon.

The Dragon Corps was a unique organization and only internal matters were allowed inside; even people from the National Security Department needed permission to enter their base. Hence, there was no way that they would allow some random man inside.

“Kid, you are being accused of stealing from others! Please follow us inside to assist with the further investigation!”

The two guards immediately surrounded Leon to prevent him from running.

All the noises alerted the people inside the office and a man in his late thirties strode outside with a few guards in uniforms.

“Ben, what’s with all the noises? What’s going on?” The man questioned the two guards sharply.

“Captain Scots, this kid here tried to rob someone and told us that he wants to get into the Dragon Corps base.”

The guards explained the situation.

“Kid, the Dragon Corps base isn’t a place that you can enter freely. Since someone has accused you of robbery, please follow us inside to assist with further investigation! Don’t worry. Once we learn the truth, we will handle the case justly!” Captain Scots turned to look at Leon sternly, before signaling the other guards to capture Leon.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1595

“This is great!” The Black Gorilla grinned from ear to ear as he watched the situation escalate.

He only meant to annoy Leon, but Leon was far too arrogant. Not only did he refuse to cooperate, but he also provoked the people in the National Security Department by mentioning that he wanted to go to the Dragon

Corps.

He could not help but fantasize about Leon getting into a fight with the guards. Once the Dragon Corps interfered, he might have the chance to steal the Spiritual Pearl from Leon.

However, before he could fully envision his fantasy, what happened next shook him to his core.

“Captain Scots, right? This is my badge. See for yourself if I have the right to enter the Dragon Corps base!” Leon knew that the guards were turned against him because of what the Black Gorilla said and did not bother wasting his time arguing.

He tossed a badge the size of a credit card to Captain Scots. The badge was made of a material that resembled both iron and wood, with the word ‘Dragon‘ carved into it.

“The Dragon Guard Badge!” Captain Scots was shocked and after further inspection, he realized that he was holding a Dragon Guard Badge, the identification of Dragon Corps members.

“Greetings, Sir!” Captain Scots sobered and instantly bowed at Leon.

The National Security Department worked for the Dragon Corps and since Leon was a member of the Dragon Corps, that made him the guards‘ superior and Captain Scots dared not to show any disrespect.

“Greetings, Sir!”

“Greetings, Sir!”

The other guards followed despite their shock.

“What?! Leon, are you a member of the Dragon Corps? H- How is that even possible?!” The Black Gorilla was utterly stunned.

He thought that it was foolish for Leon to hand him over to the Dragon Corps and even fantasized about the possibility of the martial artists in the Dragon Corps eliminating Leon, giving him the chance to obtain the Spiritual Pearl.

To his surprise, Leon was a Dragon Guard of the Dragon Corps and he had the foolish one.

“Black Gorilla, let’s see what other tricks you have up your sleeves! I wonder what else you are capable of!” Leon mocked and studied the Black Gorilla as though he was looking at a clown.

Indeed, the Black Gorilla was foolish for attempting to play the National Security Department against him.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1596

“That’s not possible! This isn’t real!” The Black Gorilla paled as all strength was drained from him and he collapsed onto the ground.

He did not know much about Leon, but Charlie gave him detailed information about Leon before the Black Gorilla was sent to assassinate Leon.

It was written on the document that Leon was merely a relative of the Scammells; not only was he weak, but he also came from a small city and had no support in the southern region.

However, not only did Leon kill Asmodeus, who was extremely powerful, he proved himself to be a Dragon Guard of the Dragon Corps.

The Black Gorilla could not imagine how someone with such influence and power would be referred to as weak and he resented Charlie for misleading him.

“Sir, we didn’t know about you. We apologize if we’ve offended you,” Captain Scots said, before handing the Dragon Guard Badge back to Leon respectfully.

The other guards, especially the two who interacted with Leon at the very beginning, felt nervous about‘ offending Leon.

“It’s fine! This is the first time I’ve shown up here, so, normally, you don’t know me.” Leon shook his head and threw the body wrapped in a blanket onto the ground.

“Captain Scots, the dead body of Asmodeus is inside and I want to trade it with contribution points. How do I do that?” Leon asked.

“What?! Asmodeus?! Sir, are you talking about the same Asmodeus who’s one of the eight top criminals here in Sky County?” Captain Scots was shocked and before Leon had the chance to answer, he unfolded the blanket and saw Asmodeus’s lifeless body inside.

Through the demon mask covering half his face, Captain Scots instantly recognized Asmodeus. “It’s Asmodeus! Sir, did you kill him?” Captain Scots’s jaw dropped as he questioned in disbelief.

The others were just as shocked and turned to gape at one another.

“Yeah. That’s right!” Leon nodded.

“What?”

Captain Scots and the other guards were shaken to the core.

As members of the National Security Department, they knew a lot about Asmodeus.

Not only did Asmodeus reach the Semi Almighty State, but he was also known to be sly and was great at covering his tracks. On top of that, he owned an extremely rare treasure, the Cuff of Doom, which made him even more formidable.

Therefore, despite the Dragon Corps‘ effort in ambushing Asmodeus, they failed miserably and two martial artists died at the hands of Asmodeus in the process.

It was beyond their comprehension how a young man like Leon would be capable of killing someone so powerful and ruthless.

“Captain Scots, you haven’t answered my question. How do I get contribution points?” Leon asked, drawing Captain Scots’s attention back to him.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1597

“Sir, according to standardized procedures, we will need to collect samples from the body, such as fingerprints, to verify his identity. Once we confirm his identity, we will issue a report for you, and all you need to do is to hand it over to the Dragon Corps,” Captain Scots explained briefly.

Though he could be certain that he was looking at Asmodeus’s body judging from the figure, height, and other physical characteristics of the body, the National Security Department was still obligated to run tests to compare samples Asmodeus left behind at previous crime scenes.

The National Security Department’s duty was to take care of chores for the Dragon Corps, after all.

“Alright. I’ll leave it to you, then!” Loen nodded.

Captain Scots nodded and turned to his subordinates. “Tony, take this body for identification!”

“Yes.”

The two guards immediately carried Asmodeus’s body away and Captain Scots turned back to Leon. “Sir, please have some rest in the office. Once the report is out, I will have it delivered to you immediately!”

“Sure! Also, this is the Black Gorilla. Have your men lock him up for now!” Leon pointed at the Black Gorilla, who was still sitting on the ground.

“Yes, Sir!” Captain Scots instantly signaled his subordinates to capture the Black Gorilla.

The Black Gorilla instantly sobered and seeing how he was about to be imprisoned, he protested, “Leon, even if you are a member of the Dragon Corps, I haven’t done anything that is punishable by imprisonment!”

“I told you that you’re getting locked up for attacking me twice! That should be more than enough!” Leon sneered.

“Sure, I did attack you, but you didn’t suffer any injury, did you? This is considered an ordinary duel between martial artists and you don’t have the right to lock me up because of that!” The Black Gorilla argued.

His main purpose for attacking Leon was to kill him, but since Leon was a member of the Dragon Corps, he knew better than, to tell the truth about his intention, so he simply described the attack as a duel.

A duel was merely a fight between two martial artists and since Leon did not suffer any injury, there was no reason for the Dragon Corps to imprison him.

“Black Gorilla, you’re shameless! I’ve seen thick–skinned thugs before, but never one like you!”

“Save it, Leon! The Dragon Corps has always been fair and just, and you’ll let me go if you know what’s best for you! Otherwise, I’m reporting to a Gold Dragon Guard of the Dragon Corps that you are abusing your power!” The Black Gorilla threatened.

He was a part of the main force at work in the southern region and knew a fair deal about the Dragon Corps.

Different levels to the Dragon Guard worked for the Dragon Corps and Leon had no class to his title at all. After Ordinary Dragon Guard, came Gold Dragon Guard and Platinum Dragon Guard. If Leon attempted to arrest him, he could always report Leon to a Gold Dragon Guard or Platinum Dragon Guard.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1598

“Why you!” Leon was furious but struggled to argue.

After all, what the Black Gorilla said was the truth. Leon did not suffer any severe injury and since the Black Gorilla refused to confess his crimes, it would be inappropriate for Leon to use his power to imprison the Black Gorilla.

“Captain Scots, how long can I keep people like him in custody?” Leon asked.

“Sir, per the Dragon Corps‘ rules, we can only hold him for about ten days if it’s just an ordinary duel,” Captain Scots said.

“What?! That’s it?!” Leon’s expression darkened.

The Black Gorilla knew too much about Loen and if he walked free after ten days, others would find out about the fact that Leon had an extremely powerful tool. Even though others would hesitate to rob Leon of the Pearl once they learned that he was a Dragon Guard, they would attempt to assassinate him or steal the Pearl from him in secret, which would cause him tremendous troubles in the future.

“Whatever. Just lock him up for now. I’ll handle it later!” Leon thought about it and commanded.

He knew that as a member of the underground organization, the Black Gorilla must have committed countless crimes and he should be able to imprison the Black Gorilla for a longer period once he gathered enough proof.

However, this was not Leon’s priority at the moment and he decided to deal with the Black Gorilla after he reported to the Dragon Corps.

“Yes, Sir.” Captain Scots signaled his subordinates to take the Black Gorilla to the holding cell while he accompanied Leon to the lounge to rest as they waited for the identification report for Asmodeus.

Shortly after, the report was released and one of the guards delivered it to Leon and Captain Scots right away.

Once Leon received the report, Captain Scots led him to an office in the Dragon Corps base and found an intimidating mid–aged man sitting inside.

The man was Alfred Glasbey, the person in charge of the southern region branch of the Dragon Corps.

“I’m Leon Wolf, a Dragon Guard under the Springfield City Dragon Corps. Greetings, Mister Glasbey.” Leon bowed respectfully.

“So. you’re Leon Wolf!” Alfred’s expression darkened.

“Yes, Sir. Do you know me?” Leon was surprised as this was his first visit to the Dragon Corps in the southern region and did not expect Alfred to know him.

“I heard from Master Haslewood a long time ago! Leon, you arrived in the southern region quite some time ago, didn’t you? Why have you waited so long until you report to the base?” Alfred questioned sharply.

Master Haslewood informed Alfred about Leon ever since Leon arrived in the southern region and since Master Haslewood was a respectable individual in the Dragon Corps, Alfred took his words to heart.

However, despite waiting, Leon did not report to the base until this day and that left a poor impression on Alfred.

“Well, I was occupied with private matters and didn’t have the time. Please understand!” Leon smiled sheepishly.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1599

“Private matters? As a Dragon Guard of the Dragon Corps, are your matters more important than work? Can’t you tell which is your priority?” Alfred was furious when he saw how careless Leon was.

“Well, I’m just non–staff personnel who isn’t important to the operation of the Dragon Corps, so my matters take precedence!” Leon deadpanned.

When Master Haslewood coaxed him into joining the Dragon Corps, he was promised that the Dragon Corps would not restrict his freedom as long as he agreed to join.

“Why you!” Alfred was livid, but could not argue because Leon was recommended by Master Haslewood, who specifically mentioned not restricting Leon’s freedom.

Naturally, his impression of Leon could not be worse when he saw a young man like Leon who had no true talent or ambition.

“Forget it. Just remember that there won’t be another exception next time!” Alfred snorted.

Out of his respect for Master Haslewood, he could not punish Leon over such a minor matter and gave up on the discussion.

“Noted, Sir,” Leon said while nodding casually.

Alfred was frustrated by how he was dismissed and ignored Leon to turn his attention to Captain Scots instead. “Captain Scots, do you need something?”

“Mister Glasbey, Mister Wolf has eliminated one of the top eight criminals on the criminal list, Asmodeus, and here’s the report for the identification of the body he brought,” Captain Scots said and handed the report over.

“What? Asmodeus is killed?!” Alfred gaped in disbelief but soon processed the entire sentence that Captain Scots said and stood abruptly. “Captain Scots, did you just say that Leon killed Asmodeus? Is that true?” He grabbed the report and started going through every detail in awe.

“Yes. It’s true!” Captain Scots nodded.

“What the!” Alfred’s eyes darted from the report in his hands to Leon and was utterly stunned.

He started to develop a poor impression of Leon because Leon seemed to have joined the Dragon Corps through connections and did not report to the base in time. To his bewilderment, Leon managed to eliminate one of the top eight criminals, Asmodeus.

“Good! That’s great!” Alfred recovered from the initial shock and burst out laughing.

Not only was Asmodeus powerful but he was also known to be sly and he even owned an extremely rare treasure, the Cuff of Doom, which made him even more formidable. Despite the Dragon Corps‘ effort in ambushing Asmodeus, they failed and lost two powerful martial artists in the process; yet Leon somehow managed to eliminate Asmodeus.

It was hardly an overstatement that Leon resolved what troubled Alfred for years on his first day at the Dragon Corps branch in the southern region.

Instantly, all of Alfred’s prejudice against Leon vanished.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1600

“As expected of someone recommended by Master Haslewood! Leon, you are accomplished for someone your age!” Alfred walked over and tapped Leon on the shoulder.

He thought Leon was a talentless man who only had the opportunity to join the Dragon Corps through a connection with Master Haslewood. It was not until this moment that Alfred realized that Master Haslewood recommended a formidable man to him and that he underestimated Master Haslewood’s instinct.

“Um,” Leon froze at the compliment.

After the brief exchange earlier, Leon could tell that Alfred seemed upset with him and did not expect Alfred’s attitude to take such a sharp turn once he learned that Leon killed Asmodeus.

It all happened so fast that Leon struggled to adjust himself. Once he recovered from the shock, Leon smiled modestly. “Thank you, Mister Glasbey. You’re too kind. I just got lucky.”

“Very good! Youngsters who know to be modest are guaranteed to have bright futures ahead of them!” Alfred shouted.

Due to his prejudice against Leon, he looked down on Leon. Yet, he was absolutely in awe once he learned that Leon was a truly talented man.

Leon was at a loss for words, but since Alfred was his superior and the person in charge of the Dragon Corps in the southern region, he was pleased to be recognized by Alfred.

“Captain Scots, I’ve gone through the report! If this is all, you may leave! I need to speak with Leon in private!” Alfred dismissed Captain Scots.

“Yes, Sir.” Captain Scots obeyed and left the room.

Once Alfred was alone with Leon, his attitude softened as he enthusiastically invited Leon to the couch.

“Leon, Asmodeus was a sly man and was great at covering his tracks! I’m curious, but how did you track him down and kill him all by yourself?” Alfred questioned curiously.

“Well,” Leon muttered hesitantly.

He only managed to track Asmodeus down with the help of the Soul Searcher and eliminated him with the Potential Energy Force he received from Master Haslewood. Since both techniques were Leon’s secret weapons, he could not tell others about his tricks.

“I’m sorry, Mister Glasbey, but I’ve utilized some secret methods to eliminate Asmodeus and I’m not at liberty to share any details.” Leon smiled apologetically.

“I see. It’s fine. I understand.” Alfred was slightly disappointed, but since Asmodeus was eliminated, how it happened did not matter ad he saw no point in forcing Leon to explain the details.

“To tell you the truth, two of our Gold Dragon Guard here in the southern region died at the hands of Asmodeus in the past and since you’ve killed Asmodeus, you’ve avenged their death! Allow me to thank you on behalf of their families!” Alfred said sincerely.

“You’re too kind, Mister Glasbey. I just did my duty as a member of the Dragon Corps,” Leon said.
