Ch. 1631..1640
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1631
“Wretch, you and Leon caused me to take a blow last time! It’s about time we settle the score today!” Umair let out a sneer before he charged forward with impressive force, attacking Iris head–on.
He had already seen Iris defeating the two guards earlier and knew that Iris was only at the advanced Innate State!
He was already at the peak Innate State and close to becoming a Supreme Master as well. It would not be hard for him to deal with Iris!
On top of that, he had taken a blow and spat out blood because he stopped Iris from entering when Leon and Iris first came to the Scammells!
He had not forgotten that!
Because of that, he bore a big grudge against Leon and Iris!
The chance was here, and he was prepared to teach Iris a lesson. If he were lucky enough to catch Iris first, he would definitely earn some praise and rewards from Nigel!
It was the perfect situation!
With Umair already attacking first, the other guards did not delay as they charged forward to capture Iris too. They wanted to make sure they could report their success to Nigel later.
“Leon, it’s on you now…”
Iris paled when she felt the intense aura coming from the guards.
She was naturally too weak to stand up against the three of them!
However, Leon had thankfully been prepared and had carved out two pieces of Potential Energy Forces for her to defend herself!
However, she had never used them before, so she was a bit apprehensive, not knowing if they would work or
not!
If they did not work, she would probably be captured by Nigel!
The next moment, Iris took out the jade pendant desperately, not hesitating to unleash it at the guards!
It was different from Master Haslewood’s.
Master Haslewood used true energy, and he was incredibly strong. The Potential Energy he carved in had an unrivaled imperious aura around it that caused anyone to tremble in fear!
However, Leon was different. Leon practiced the sage arts.
Even though his Potential Energy Forces still carried an incredibly strong aura, regular martial artists would not be able to feel the spiritual energy and immense power from it.
Because of that, the guards were caught completely off guard and were struck head–on by the attack!
With an intense clash, the Potential Energy Forces in Iris‘ hands managed to break through the guards‘ attacks and struck right at them!
Of the three of them, Umair was only at the peak Innate State, while the others were slightly stronger. However, they were still only initial Supreme Masters!
Leon’s Potential Energy Forces had power at the level of the initial Overlord State. That was more than several dozen times stronger than the three of them!
There was no way they would be able to stand up to Leon’s power!
The next moment, all three of them spat out mouthfuls of blood as they were sent flying several meters away before slamming into the ground!
Thankfully, Leon was not the one actually attacking. Otherwise, they would probably have died or been crippled by the attack!
Even so, the three of them were still heavily injured!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1632
“H–How is this possible!?”
Nigel was stunned, and he could not believe his eyes.
He had personally witnessed Iris‘ skills just now. She was only supposed to be at the advanced Innate State. She was much weaker than the three guards.
He thought that the three of them would easily be able to capture Iris!
Yet, he never expected that the three of them would end up being heavily injured by Iris in one blow before they could get her!
It was just too unbelievable!
His shock at that moment was obvious!
“Alright, this is great!” Iris had an excited smile on her face.
She had been worried that Leon’s Potential Energy would not work, but after she witnessed its power, her worries were all gone!
“Wretch, what did you do?!” Nigel had a dark look on his face after he recovered from his shock.
Since he had not felt the spiritual energy in the Potential Energy Forces, he could not understand how Iris
had defeated Umair and the others!
However, he knew something very well. Iris had to have used some unknown method. There was no way she actually had the skills and abilities to fight back!
“Nigel, cut the crap! Let’s see what else you can do!” Iris said coldly.
Iris was much more confident with the Potential Energy Forces in hand.
However, Leon had only given her two to protect herself, so she only had one left. She did not dare to attack Nigel so quickly.
After all, Nigel was already a peak Supreme Master, and he was far stronger than the three guards!
If she advanced herself and failed to injure Nigel heavily, then Nigel would easily be able to deal with her once she lost her protection!
“You…”
“Iris, don’t be so arrogant! I might not know what kind of method you used just now, but schemes are all useless in front of absolute skill! Let me show you how strong I am!” Nigel said with a cold and dark look on his face, quickly regaining his calm.
He knew very well that he was much stronger than the three guards. Iris‘ trick might have been able to injure the three of them, but there was nothing she could do to him!
On top of that, he was already prepared. As long as he was careful enough, Iris should not be able to do anything to him with how weak she was!
With that in mind, he no longer hesitated as he held back the intense pain from his legs, shooting forward
and attacking Iris with thunderous force.
“You asked for it!” Iris said coldly. After that, she quickly unleashed the Potential Energy at Nigel.
Since she was weak, she felt like she might not be able to injure Nigel if she had taken the initiative and attacked!
However, she managed to stay calm, and Nigel attacking her head–on was practically suicide!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1633
Thankfully my Excel sheet experience proved to be of some use. Whatever Justin wanted, I not only got it in a jiffy but also started doing it on a PC placed in the corner of the study.
He got busy with his laptop on his desk and kept taking his official calls. Once I started doing my job, we did not talk much except I once asked him if I could start munching Doritos.
A man whose name was Alex delivered large bags of Doritos to the office. The moment Justin nodded at me to go ahead I beamed and got busy.
While doing my work I was aware of his strong presence in the room. I could feel the occasional glances, he was throwing in my direction.
It felt like working near him was making him happy.
My work was going smoothly when I got stuck at a company’s name. I couldn’t remember if I was supposed to include its calculation or not.
“Justin. Do I have to include this company’s calculations or leave it?” I asked him when he was talking to someone on call. Now it was counted as bad manners to disturb someone midst of a conversation.
He nodded his head giving me his approval and said into the phone, “It’s Ashley, Sarah. I think I need to disconnect the call. We need to get done with the job today before evening.”
Whoever, he was talking to, seemed to know about me. Who was Sarah?
“Bye, Sarah!” He placed his phone on the desk and stood up stretching his gorgeous body.
The man had panther–like grace. Straightening, he gave me his signature dimpled smile and started walking towards me.
“Show me, how much you have done.” He was about to lean behind me to look at the monitor screen when I quickly shifted sideways to let him sit on the chair.
“Don’t move, kitten!” He held my shoulders firmly and brought his face closer to mine. The strong male perfume hitting my nostrils was making me sweat.
This man was hot as hell. I gulped down trying to remember that I needed to inhale Oxygen. I was sure my cheeks must have turned crimson.
“You are doing good, kitten.” His hand reached to the mouse from behind to scroll the screen. I tilted my head a little to look at his sculpted face that was close to me.
Like very close!
His straight nose.
Those long eyelashes.
“Kitten. You need to focus on the PC.” There was amusement in his voice.
Shit! He must be thinking that I am a freak. I cleared my throat, “It’s just that…”
“That?” He turned his head towards me and looked into my eyes.
“You are handsome!” I shrugged nonchalantly but sheet! Why did I say that?
“You find me handsome, Honeybun?” He brought his face closer to me and before I could decide what he was trying to do, he bumped his forehead playfully into mine.
“You are a quick learner, Ashley.” He stood up praising me, “I have asked them to bring us lunch.” He said busily again concentrating on his PC.
Lunch? Here? Was it for me or both of us?
The answer was, both of us when a woman in her early forties entered and started instructing the staff to set the dishes on the table placed in the couch sitting area. I wonder why Helga did not serve the dishes.
“By the way, I don’t feel hungry at all.” I tried to complain with a pout.
“Yeah. Your complaint is justified. You just had snacks.” He pointed his index finger towards me as a warning, “But no compromise on your meal, Ashley.”
We were served stir–fried vegetables with fried chicken along with boiled rice. It was simple but finger–licking. I was the one who told him I could not eat anymore due to my stuffed tummy and here I finished everything on my plate.
“That’s like a good girl.” He seemed happy that I finished my meal.
I was sure I had this silly drool on my lips.
After lunch, I went back to the PC and started completing my Excel sheet. I tried holding a yawn and looked around. There was a couch that seemed comfortable enough.
“Go ahead. Take rest.” He encouraged me without even looking… Without making me feel that his eyes were constantly watching me.
My Doritos wrapper was almost empty by now. I sat on the sofa, but it was so soft that I decided to lie on it.
The plan was to stay there just for five minutes, but slowly, my eyes fluttered close. Now I did not know if it was a dream or was I still awake.
I saw Justin leaning back in his chair. There was a grin on his face while looking at me. I wanted to ask him with my half–opened eyes, what he found so funny.
Then I decided to ask it later after my five minutes power nap.
I did remember waking up and found Justin talking to someone on phone in a hushed tone. He did not want to disturb my beauty sleep.
Only ten minutes must have passed or maybe fifteen minutes maximum when I raised my arms to stretch and sat up.
Oh, no. Was I hallucinating?
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1634
“Rick, why did you invite us here?” Donovan Scammell, the oldest of the elders, asked curiously.
The other elders looked at Rick curiously as well.
“Donovan, let’s be honest! Ever since Iris came back, Patrick had first given over a pharmaceutical company under our family name to Leon, and then had even sided with Leon when he broke Nigel’s legs, not punishing Leon at all! I feel like he might be getting old and losing touch with a lot of things. He’s no longer suited to be the head of our family! So, I asked all of you here to consider giving the position of the family head to someone else!” Rick said calmly.
Based on the rules of the family, the elders of the Scammells had the right to revoke the power of the family
head.
He wanted to gain their support this time because he could use their power to revoke Patrick’s position as the family head. Then, he would be able to take over without any issues!
On the other hand, the elders controlled all of the forces related to the Scammells outside of the direct
descendants.
Only with the support of the elders would he be able to control the family firmly, stopping any internal issues or conflicts!
“What?”
The five elders were shocked to hear that and could not believe their ears.
Even though Rick and Eugene had tried to take over the family during Patrick’s banquet, it was only because Damian had been crippled. Eugene merely wanted the position of the family’s heir and not the position of the family head.
That was still within reason!
However, Rick was actually after the family head position at that moment. It was no longer as simple as a matter of inheritance. He was clearly trying to stage a coup!
“Rick, surely you aren’t trying to take over?!” Donovan had an unhappy look on his face as he spoke.
The fact that he did not directly accuse Rick of trying to stage a coup was already very polite!
“So what if I am? I’ll give you all one last chance. Either you support me or continue supporting Patrick! It’s up to you to make the choice!” Rick said coldly.
This time, he had already made his full preparations. He was prepared to attack the first line on the day itself!
So, he no longer had any need to try and convince the elders. He would just show his cards!
“Impossible!”
“Rick, we’ve always been fair!”
“Ever since Iris came back, Leon’s already purchased so much from the Scammells. He’s given the family a lot of profit!”
“On top of that, Cynthion Group’s sales drive has even bolstered our reputation. It’s benefitted us in many ways!”
“From the current situation, our business has been booming under Patrick. We’ll definitely be able to profit
a lot!”
“Why would you want to confront him like that?!”
The five elders tried to advise Rick against staging a coup.
“So in the end, you’re all planning on supporting Patrick and Leon?” Rick was very frustrated.
“Yes, that’s right!”
“Patrick is wise and is a good leader. We’d definitely support him!” the five elders said without any
hesitation.
“Very well! Since you insist on that, then don’t fault me for not showing you mercy!” Rick said angrily.
“Rick, what do you mean?”
The elders‘ expressions darkened. They quickly felt like something was wrong.
“It’s very simple! Since you’re going to support Patrick, I’ll just have to get rid of you first!” Rick had a sinister and murderous glint in his eyes.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1635
“What?”
The elders were shocked when they heard that. The five of them immediately stood up.
They had been trying to advise Rick to forget about the coup since they were relatives.
Yet, it seemed like Rick had already made the decision and even wanted to get rid of them!
At that moment, they realized that no amount of advice would work!
“Rick, you might already be at the Initial Emperor State, but all of us are still at the Semi Emperor State! You won’t be able to get rid of all five of us alone! Aren’t you being too bold here?!” Donovan said in frustration.
Even though there was a big gulf between the Emperor State and the Semi Emperor State, it was still hard to defeat a number’s advantage.
Normally, someone at the initial Emperor State would be able to face two or three martial artists at the Semi Emperor State at most!
Meanwhile, the five of them were already in the Semi Emperor State, and they were all at the top of their level as well. They were already close to reaching the Initial Emperor State!
Rick would be dreaming if he thought he could defeat them!
“You’ll know very soon if I can actually defeat you!” Rick sneered.
After that, he wasted no time rushing right for the third elder.
The third elder knew he was no match for Rick, so he quickly tried to avoid the attack.
“Let us help you!”
The second and fifth elders quickly rushed over and joined the fray.
The three of them quickly started to attack Rick!
It quickly became an intense battle.
“Rick, since you’ve decided to attack your own family, then you can’t blame us anymore!”
“Quickly, four of you go hold him back! I’ll go get Patrick over to deal with this!” Donovan ordered the other. elders with a pained look on his face.
He was the head of the elders and had always put the family first. He naturally did not want to see any internal conflicts in the family, nor did he want to see Rick and Patrick fighting each other.
However, there was nothing he could do about Rick being adamant.
“Alright,” the four elders agreed as they started to fight Rick together!
After that, Donovan did not hesitate to rush outside, preparing to find Patrick!
However, before he could even leave the living room, something happened!
Boom!
At that moment, an incredibly strong wave of true energy started to charge right at Donovan’s chest.
“What?”
Donovan was shocked as he rapidly started to retreat, trying to avoid the attack.
However, the attack was far too strong. No matter how he tried, he could not avoid it.
With the danger at hand, he was forced to try and fight back!
Boom!
With an intense clash, the wave of true energy broke through Donovan’s defenses, slamming right into his
chest.
The next moment, he spat out two mouthfuls of blood as he flew several meters before falling heavily to the
ground.
After that, he spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly sustaining internal injuries,
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1636
“Donovan, are you alright?”
The elders were shocked to see Donovan getting injured.
After that, they forced Rick back with one blow before they jumped out and hurriedly tried to help Donovan
up.
“Haha…”
At that moment, a loud laugh was heard.
Charlie walked in right in with a prideful look on his face.
Behind him were two men who were about fifty years of age!
The two men had very sharp looks in their eyes and an impressive aura about them. It was obvious that they were quite strong!
“Brat, what are you?”
The elder’s expressions sank when they saw Charlie.
Earlier, they had seen that Donovan had been injured by one of the middle–aged men.
Other than that, Charlie might be known amongst the younger generation as the heir of the Martells, but they were all of the older generations. They had never seen Charlie before, so they naturally did not know
who he was.
“Let me introduce you, this is the heir of the Martells, Charlie!” Rick let out a sneer as he walked over.
“What? The heir of the Martells?” The elders were all shocked to hear that.
Even though they did not know who Charlie was, they still knew of the Martells. They knew that the Martells were one of the older ancient martial arts families in the Southern Region. That family was much stronger and more influential than the Scammells!
Right after that, they quickly realized what had happened when they thought about it.
No wonder Rick was trying to stage a coup and even said he would get rid of them. Rick had the support of
Charlie!
“Rick, you actually worked with the Martells to cause trouble for the family! You’re just despicable!” Donovan shouted angrily.
Even though they did not know why the Martells were involved, there were no free meals in the world!
It was obvious to them that Rick must have offered them something from the family to gain their support!
Selling the family out like that was much worse than just an internal struggle!
“Cut the crap! The victors have always been the strong! I’ll ask you one last time, are you going to support me, or not?!” Rick said coldly, still wanting to gain their support.
“Please!”
“You might be happy being a dog to the Martells, but we have no intention of doing so!”
“There’s no way we’ll support you!”
“That’s right, you should just give up on that thought!”
The five elders all spoke with great disdain in their eyes.
“You…”
Rick was furious, thoroughly angered by how they were looking down at him.
It was not just him. Charlie was furious as well, and his expression immediately turned cold!
“A bunch of trash that doesn’t know your place! Since you want to die, I’ll grant you your wish! Anderson, Bill, get rid of these stubborn old fools!” Charlie said coldly.
“Yes!” the men answered.
After that, they attacked at the same time, charging at the elders with impressive force!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1637
“Intermediate Emperor State!” The elders had a drastic change of expression when they felt the power coming from Anderson and Bill.
They did not dare to hold back for a single moment as they started to fight the two of them.
It was an intense battle, and they quickly found themselves going through over ten exchanges.
Even though the five elders were quite strong, having already reached the Semi Emperor State, they were only good enough to stand against two Initial Emperor State Martial artists at most!
Bill and Anderson were both already at the Intermediate Emperor State, and they were much stronger than
the elders!
The elders quickly found themselves on the losing end!
They were quickly defeated by those two and lost their ability to fight back!
Taking the chance, Rick quickly stepped forward and sealed their strength.
Even though the five elders were not willing to support him, the elders would be very useful considering their power and influence. He was in no hurry to kill them.
The five elders represented the benefits of the whole family anyway!
As long as he managed to topple Patrick and Damian and take over, then the five elders would have to support him to prevent the family from crumbling internally!
He was not worried at all!
“I’ve helped you deal with these five old men! How is capturing Iris going?” Charlie asked eagerly.
This time, he was helping the second line of descendants of the Scammells take power both because of the Southern Boss‘ order and to get Iris!
Everything was going very well, so he did not want any surprises when it came to Iris!
“Mister Martell, don’t worry. I’ve already ordered Nigel to capture Iris! If there are no surprises, he probably already has her!” Rick said with a smile.
This time, Eugene, he, and Nigel were acting separately.
He was in charge of dealing with the five elders, while Eugene was going to mobilize the core figures he had managed to turn to his side.
As for Nigel, all Nigel needed to do was to capture the weak Iris!
With that distribution of work, everything would go smoothly!
Of course, he knew of Iris‘ skills. With how strong Nigel was, capturing Iris would be incredibly easy!
He was not worried about anything at all!
“Very good!” Charlie started to laugh happily at that.
Just thinking about how he would get Iris soon, he was suddenly in a much happier mood!
However, before he could even finish laughing, Nigel rushed over in his wheelchair the next moment.
“Grandfather, this is very bad…”
Nigel rushed inside, looking very exhausted.
“Nigel, what happened?”
Rick was shocked to see how Nigel looked, and he had an uneasy feeling in his heart.
“Grandfather, 1-1 failed to capture Iris. I accidentally let her slip away…” Nigel said with an ashen look on his
face.
“What?”
Both Charlie and Rick were shocked to hear that. They could not believe their ears.
Charlie, in particular, quickly saw the happy expression freeze on his face!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1638
“Nigel, you complete imbecile! Can’t you do something as simple as capturing a woman?!” Charlie was furious when he heard that.
His main goal for everything he did this time was to get Iris.
Yet, his main target had slipped away even though everything else had gone so smoothly. It was obvious how furious he was!
“Mister Martell, I’m so sorry. That wretch had some sort of strange technique. Even though I wasn’t a match for her, and I was injured by her as well…” Nigel said before he explained everything.
“You…”
Hearing that, Charlie was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, Nigel had already done his best. It was just that no one expected Iris to be able to defeat Nigel, who was a peak Supreme Master. It had put a huge wrench in their plans!
Nigel could not be completely blamed for that.
“Mister Martell, don’t be too angry! It’s not like she can run that far away anyway! Iris has already been tricked here. As long as we topple the first line of descendants, it won’t be hard to capture her after that!” Rick hurriedly consoled.
“Yes, Grandfather is right! Earlier, I saw Iris rushing right for the first line right away. As long as we act quickly and surround them, Iris won’t be able to flee that easily!” Nigel said in a hurry.
“Alright, time is of the essence. Let’s move right now!” Charlie said after taking a deep breath, calming down
a lot.
“Wait! We need to wait for Eugene to gather our forces before we make a move to prevent any accidents,”
Rick said with some hesitation.
However, before he even finished, he heard a collection of frantic footsteps. Eugene had hurried over with twenty to thirty of the rebels.
“We don’t have to wait anymore, I’ve already gathered all the men!” Eugene said.
“Yes, very well, prepare to move!” Rick no longer hesitated. With his order, all of them started to move
toward the first line’s residence.
Iris, however, immediately gave Leon a call after she escaped danger. She told Leon about the ambush as well as the possibility that the second line was planning something.
Leon was shocked to hear that.
He had already seen that Eugene and Rick were incredibly ambitious when they tried to take over the first time. They were not the type to accept what they were given.
When it came to that, Leon had tried very hard to convince Patrick to cut off that branch of the family, but Patrick had rejected it!
He could vaguely guess that them trying to ambush Iris could very well be related to them wanting to seize
power again!
So, he told Iris to be safe before he quickly drove over to the Scammells.
After hanging up, Iris did not hesitate to rush right over to the first line of descendants.
Even though Leon had told her to stay safe and not to be reckless, Patrick, Damian, and the rest were still related to her by blood. She was incredibly worried.
She needed to check out the situation there first.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1639
At that moment, Patrick, Damian, and Penny were all in the living room.
That day was the day for the family’s internal meetings, so Damian and Penny were not working.
That was also the main reason why Rick had chosen that day. He wanted to completely eliminate the first line of direct descendants!
Of course, Patrick and the others did not know that at all.
At that moment, they heard some frantic footsteps. Iris’s forehead was sweaty as she ran into the living
room.
“This is great!”
When she saw that Patrick and the others were fine, Iris let out a sigh of relief.
“Iris, why are you here?” Damian was very surprised. After that, Patrick and him walked over to greet her.
“Uncle, I was tricked by Nigel to come over today, and I was almost captured by him…”
After Iris caught her breath, she hurriedly explained how she had been ambushed by Nigel.
“What? Why would Nigel attack you for no reason?”
They were shocked to hear what Iris had to say.
“Well, Leon thinks that the second line might be trying to seize control of the family,” Iris answered honestly before she explained Leon’s thoughts.
“Take control?”
Patrick was shocked. After that, he exchanged looks of uncertainty with Damian and Penny.
“Iris, could you be mistaken? Rick and Eugene already admitted to their faults during the banquet. How could they try to seize power again?” Patrick said with a frown.
Even though Iris seemed quite certain, it was still just speculation from Leon in the end. It was hard for him to believe it without any evidence!
“I don’t think I’m mistaken! Grandfather, everything I said is real. You have to trust me!” Iris said sincerely.
“It’s not that I’m not trusting you, but the elders have been very supportive of our branch ever since Damian recovered! No matter how stupid Rick is, he wouldn’t try to take control of the family again!” Patrick said
seriously.
He knew that the elders had so much influence within the family that Rick would need at least the three of them to take his place!
However, all five of the elders were very supportive of him at that moment!
Rick had no power to fight against him!
support
of
As for combat ability, even though Rick was at the initial Emperor State just like him, he was a bit stronger than Rick. Rick was no match for him at all!
It was no exaggeration to say that he held the advantage in every way!
Unless there was something wrong with Rick’s head, there was no way Rick would try to fight him for power!
It did not sound right!
“Grandfather, I don’t know what schemes and tricks they have, but when Nigel attacked me just now, I personally heard him say they would deal with you! There’s no way that’s fake!” Iris said anxiously.
“That…”
Patrick found himself at a loss for words.
“Dad, I think Iris is right! The fact that Nigel dared to ambush Iris probably means they’re aiming for us! We have to be prepared!” Damian said seriously.
“Yes, you’re right! How about this? Damian, have the elders come see me right now. On top of that, make sure the family’s experts are on alert!” Patrick quickly made his arrangements.
It was better to be careful. Since Iris came to report the matter, he needed to be on guard in case of any
surprises!
“Haha, it’s already too late to try to prepare yourself!”
At that moment, they heard a loud laugh.
After that, Rick and Charlie led the experts from the Scammells inside.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1640
“Rick, it’s you! What are you trying to do? Are you really planning a coup?”
Patrick’s expression immediately sank when he saw Rick leading all those experts inside.
He had initially been doubtful of Leon’s speculation, feeling like there was no way Rick would try to seize power again for no reason.
However, it seemed like Leon’s guess was right. Rick really was rebelling!
“Patrick, don’t be so rude! I just think that you’ve been letting your age get to you, and you’ve been losing your touch. You’re no longer suited to control the family! I think you should step down while you can and give way!” Rick sneered.
“You…”
“So you really are staging a coup!” Patrick was furious when he heard that.
He finally understood that Rick was not aiming for Damian’s position this time but to take his position as the head of the family!
“So what if I am?!” Rick said calmly, not denying it.
“Despicable! If I’d known this would happen, I should have cut you off like Leon said! Otherwise, this wouldn’t be happening!” Patrick shouted furiously, starting to regret things.
Last time, Leon had constantly told him to deal with Rick to get rid of any future problems when Leon had broken Nigel’s legs.
In fact, Leon even offered to help Patrick get rid of Rick as long as Patrick gave the order!
However, he thought that it was because Leon hated the second line. After all, Nigel captured Cynthia, so he never considered Leon’s suggestion!
Yet, at that moment, Leon’s words rang true. He had kept a traitor in the family!
It was obvious how much he regretted things at that moment!
However, it was already too late for regrets!
“Patrick, cut the crap. Only those who are capable can be the family head! If you know your place, then hand your position over. Then, I might consider showing you some mercy. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Rick said coldly.
“With just you? Rick, the elders are all in support of me right now, and I’m quite a bit stronger than you! What right do you have to become the family head?!” Patrick said in frustration, unable to guess where Rick got that courage from.
“Are you talking about the five old farts? Eugene, bring them out to show your uncle!” Rick laughed.
After that, Eugene led a few of the experts over, who tossed the five elders on the ground.
“How is this possible?!”
Patrick could not believe his eyes at the sight.
He knew how strong the five elders were. They were at the Semi Emperor State and not that much weaker
than Rick.
It was impossible for Rick to take them on himself!
Yet, at that moment, all of them had been captured by Rick without a sound!
That was just unbelievable.
He could not understand how Rick did it.
