The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1691
“Leon, I’ve brought all the materials you need with me. Here’s a list of everything I brought. Have a look,” Benedict said with a smile and handed a long list to Leon, before signaling Harvey and the other Shears to open the car doors and unload all herbs they brought with them.
“That’s great! With so many herbs, Cynthion Group’s demand should be met for some time.” Leon glanced through the list and beamed.
Though herbs that grew for over three hundred years were rare in Springfield City, there was an abundant supply of herbs that grew for one to two hundred years, which described most of the supply Benedict brought
to him.
With the Shears‘ supply, Leon could produce first and second–grade Energy Nurturing Pills by mass. Unfortunately, there were only a dozen herbs that grew for over three hundred years and he could only produce close to a thousand premium Energy Nurturing Pills.
Since there were no five–hundred–year–old herbs in the mix at all, he would not be able to produce any Pure Energy Pill, but Leon was not overly worried as the demand for Pure Energy Pills was not as high as that for Energy Nurturing Pills.
Harvey supervised as the other Shears moved all the herbs into the mansion for Leon to produce alchemical pills.
“By the way, Leon, where’s Cynthia? I don’t see her around,” Benedict asked in confusion.
“Yeah, where’s Ruth? Where has she gone?” George glanced around and did not see Ruth anywhere.
“Cynthia and Ruth don’t know that you were coming today, so they’re still working in the Cynthion Group office,” Leon explained, “How about this? I’ll give them a call now and get them to come home.‘
He took out his phone to call Ruth and Cynthia.
“It’s fine. Let’s all go to see them and surprise them. It’s an opportunity to take a tour around your new office as well,” George said.
“Sure.” Leon nodded, before leaving the mansion with George and the others to head toward Cynthion
Group.
Meanwhile, in the president’s office in Cynthion Group, Cynthia and Ruth buried themselves in work.
Benedict handed another one of the Shears‘ pharmaceutical firms to Leon. Since Cynthia was trying hard to shift her focus from Springfield City to the southern region, she ran thin.
Thankfully, she had Ruth’s support, and the weight on her shoulders was lifted to a certain extent.
Just then, they heard noises from the outside with screams and shouts.
“What’s going on?” Startled, Cynthia put the document in her hands aside.
“I don’t know. Let’s go out and have a look.” Ruth shook her head and went out of the office with Cynthia.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1692
Outside the office, Willie stormed in with two mid–aged men and a few guards.
Any employee or security guard who attempted to stop them was beaten until they were covered in bruises and blood.
“Cynthia, Iris, where are you? Get out here right now!” Willie roared arrogantly, startling Cynthia, Ruth, and all the other managers.
Out of fear of the ferocious guards, the managers stayed away and observed the situation from afar, not daring to stop them.
“Willie Liberton!”
Cynthia’s and Ruth’s expressions darkened.
When Leon worked to buy over a pharmaceutical firm, he conflicted with Tony and Willie and even injured Willie’s father.
Cynthia and Ruth saw Willie once and recognized him immediately since he had a grudge against Leon; even a fool could tell he did not come with good intentions.
“Haha! Here you are!” Willie barked a peal of laughter and apart from the two mid–aged men behind him, the other Libertons‘ guards instantly surrounded Cynthia and Ruth to prevent them from running.
“It’s been a while, Miss Shear! Where’s Iris?” Willie asked viciously.
He knew that Iris was Leon’s girlfriend and that she was a relative of the Scammells and barged into Cynthion Group mainly to capture Iris, so that he could lure Leon and the Scammells into his trap.
“Iris isn’t here! What’s the meaning of this, Willie Liberton?” Cynthia questioned sharply.
“She isn’t around?” Willie was surprised.
Iris and Cynthia were in charge of Cynthia Group’s sales drive and Willie assumed that Iris was one of the managers in the firm, so he was surprised to learn that Iris was away from the office.
However, Cynthia was the president of the company and was closely related to Leon and he decided that capturing Cynthia would achieve his goal as well.
Without further delay, he raised his arm and commanded the guards, “Capture these two and take them with us!”
“Yes!”
The guards immediately charged toward Cynthia and Ruth.
“You’re all just a few low–level Supreme Masters. How dare you challenge me to a fight? Know your places!” Ruth scoffed and stood before Cynthia, before launching two powerful punches toward the guards.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1693
“The Peak Supreme State?!”
The guards gaped when they sensed Ruth’s power.
They were merely ordinary guards and were mainly in the Initial or Intermediate Supreme State, which made them powerless before Ruth, who was in the Peak Supreme State.
Before they could react, the first two guards closest to Ruth slammed into her attack and collapsed onto the ground.
Ruth took the opportunity to advance and kick at the two other guards behind, who swiftly backed away to dodge her attack. However, their strength was far from comparable to Ruth’s, and they were defeated before long.
Within the blink of an eye, all four of the Libertons‘ guards were defeated by Ruth.
“Who would’ve known that a little girl like you would be in the Peak Supreme State? Interesting!” Willie was surprised to find that Ruth was in the Peak Supreme State.
For a woman of Ruth’s age, it was quite an accomplishment, but most of the martial artists in her age in the southern region were at the same or even higher level as her, so Willie did not pay it much mind.
He came prepared and even if Ruth was in the Overlord State, she would not be able to destroy his plan.
“Who are you calling little girl, Gimpy? How am I little?” Enraged, Ruth retorted.
“Gimpy?!” Willie’s expression darkened.
His legs were broken by Leon and recovered for the most part after some time, but was still limping as he
walked.
Ruth was an associate of Leon and being called Gimpy completely enraged him.
“You must’ve a death wish, wench!” Willie commanded the two mid–aged men furiously, “Capture those two. Don’t let them run away!”
“Yes!”
The two men darted toward Cynthia and Ruth.
“The advanced Overlord State!” Ruth was shocked when she detected their overpowering energy.
She tried to evade their attacks alongside Cynthia, but the two were simply so formidable that they were
inches away before Cynthia and Ruth could get away.
“It’s over!”
They paled and their heart sank as they watched the two men approach helplessly.
Just then, two figures darted out from behind Willie and charged toward him.
They were none other than Spencer and Stephen.
They were arranged to work in the southern region branch of Cynthion Group and were placed in charge of
security.
Willie wreaked havoc on his way into the office and alerted the Sharp siblings, so they immediately hurried
over.
The Sharp siblings knew that it was easier to wrestle the python after chopping its head off.
The two mid–aged men were far too powerful for the Sharps to rivals, so they turned their focus to the leader, Willie, instead. Once Willie was captured, the two men would be forced to cease their attacks.

“The Peak Supreme State?!”

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1695
“You arrogant scums!” Willie sneered and walked over with one of the mid–aged men once he saw that Ruth was severely injured and Cynthia was captured.
“Gimpy, you didn’t manage to defeat Leon and turn to vent your anger on two women. You’re no man!” Ruth glared daggers at him.
She knew about the conflict between Leon and Willie and knew that he came to attack her and Cynthia to trap Leon.
“Why you! If you like calling me a gimpy so much, I’ll make you one as well! Consider a part of the payment Leon owes me!” Willie sneered devilishly and stomped on Ruth’s leg.
“Snap!”
Ruth grunted in pain as her bones snapped. She paled and saw stars as she struggled not to lose consciousness.
“Stop it! Willie Liberton, you despicable scum! Ruth hasn’t done anything to you, how dare you hurt her? You don’t even have the right to call yourself human! Once Leon finds out about this, he won’t spare you!” Cynthia roared in rage.
“You b*tch! Don’t even mention that little bast*rd’s name!” Livid, Willie slapped Cynthia across the face roughly.
Cynthia’s cheek instantly swelled and a stream of blood scrolled down the corner of her mouth, but instead of feeling scared, she kept her eyes trained on Willie as though she was looking at a dead man because she knew that Leon would avenge her and Ruth once he found out about what Willie did.
He ignored her cold glare and turned his attention to Ruth, who was in pain. “I’ll spare you, for now, wench! Tell Leon that he’s going to come to the Libertons Mansion if he doesn’t want anything to happen to Cynthia! If he chickens out, he should expect to see Cynthia’s dead body!” He said viciously.
While Willie and the two mid–aged men had their eyes on Ruth, Cynthia reached into her pocket and smashed a Soul Searcher Pill.
The Soul Searcher Pill was a tracker and once Leon succeeded in producing it, he handed a few of the pills to Iris, Cynthia, Ruth, and Snow; should they find themselves in danger, they could smash the pill and he could be able to find them immediately.
“Let’s go!” Willie did not notice her motion and stormed off with Cynthia, the two mid–aged men, and the injured Libertons‘ guards.
Shortly after they left, Leon arrived in the office with Benedict and the others,
“Wh- What’s going on here?” Leon gasped when he saw the mess the office was in and an ominous feeling
took over him.
Benedict and the others were stunned as well.
Not daring to waste time, they hurried up the floors and soon found Ruth and the Sharp siblings, who were
badly injured.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1696
“Leon, you’re finally here. I’m so glad!” Ruth forced a smile through the pain when she saw Leon.
After all the things they went through, Ruth developed a sense of dependence on Leon like the other three women and she finally calmed down at the sight of Leon.
“Ruth, what happened to you? A- are you alright?” George and the Collins gaped and hurried over to help
her up.
“Grandpa? Why are you here? Ugh, my leg hurts!” Ruth did not expect the Collins to travel to the southern region. She paled when a sharp pain shot up her leg and gasped in pain.
“Ruth, what happened to your leg? Who did this?!” Leon was furious.
He crouched down to touch her injured leg and instantly realized that someone stomped on Ruth’s leg hard enough to break her bones.
“Willie Liberton broke my leg and took Cynthia. He told me to tell you that he will kill Cynthia if you don’t go to the Libertons Mansion,” Ruth gritted out through the pain of her injuries.
“Willie Liberton? That worthless scum. I’ll make him pay!” Leon roared and was on the brink of exploding in
rage.
Personal grudges should never affect one’s family and friends. Not only did Willie violate that rule and attack two unrelated women, but he also broke Ruth’s leg and Leon was not so furious with what happened with Jacob.
He desperately wanted to charge to the Libertons Mansion to tear Willie into shreds, but since Ruth was severely injured, he managed to suppress his anger.
Leon took out two Circulation Pills and fed them to Ruth to treat her internal injuries, before pressing his fingers into the compression points around her legs to treat her broken legs, actively preventing any long- term damage.
After all, was done, he was too worried about Cynthia to check on the Sharp siblings, so he simply handed a flask of Circulation Pills and gave it to Spencer.
The Circulation Pills worked wonders on internal injuries and though the Sharp siblings were suffering from internal injuries as well, they would survive with the Circulation Pills.
“Iris, I need to go help Cynthia now. Call Elder Scammells and inform him to send all capable martial artists over to help me,” Leon said hastily.
He had multiple tools and tricks, but there were far too many talented martial artists in the Liberton Mansion and he was not arrogant enough to think that he could defeat them all by himself.
What Willie did must be a part of the Libertons‘ plot as well and Leon was livid.
Not only was he going to kill Willie, he fully intended to destroy the Libertons once and for all, and he needed the Scammells‘ help to accomplish that.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1697
“Leon, we’ll go with you.”
Benedict, Harvey, and the other Shears hurried after Leon.
They all came to the southern region to surprise Cynthia. To their bewilderment, they were all greeted by the news that Cynthia was in danger.
The Shears were worried and could not stay still.
“It’s fine! Elder Shear, I’ll go alone to save Cynthia. If you’re worried, you can come with the Scammells later, “Leon did not stop on his way out.
It would be quicker for him to travel alone and taking the Shears with him would only slow him down.
“Alright,” The Shears knew that they could not be of much help and stopped.
“Leon, once you find Cynthia, leave Willie alive. I’m going to make him pay for what he did myself!” Ruth gritted out as Leon left.
“I got it!” Leon’s figure soon disappeared into the distance.
As soon as he was gone, Iris gave Patrick a call, asking him to send the martial artists in the Scammells to help Leon, and informed him to meet with Leon outside the Liberton Mansion.
Patrick provided Iris with the address of the Liberton Mansion, and she was about to hurry over.
Just then, Ruth barely managed to get up from the ground with George’s help and wanted to join Iris and the others.
“Ruth, you’re badly injured! I think you should go home and rest. You should go with them,” George said worriedly.
Though he was furious at Willie for injuring Ruth, she was alive and he did not wish for her to travel with the others in her condition.
“No way! I’m going! I need to seek revenge on Willie, or I’ll never forgive myself,” Ruth said stubbornly. “But, alright, then.” Seeing how determined she was, George did not argue further and followed the group as they all headed for the Libertons Mansion.
In the Libertons Mansion, Cynthia was locked in a bedroom.
Willie signaled the two mid–aged men and the guards from earlier to wait outside, before heading into the room alone.
“Miss Shear, let’s talk!” He sneered and sat down by the table.
“What do you want, you scum?” She questioned warily.
“It’s simple. I want all confidential information about Cynthion Group. For example, how you produce the alchemical pills and where the recipes are,” He said and narrowed his eyes calculatedly.
He captured Cynthia to trap Leon and the Scammells, but also because Cynthion Group held tremendous business value and the Libertons were determined to take control over the firm.
Naturally, a company with nothing but its name meant nothing to him, so he wanted the methods or recipes for producing the alchemical pills. With that information in hand, the Libertons‘ path to success would be guaranteed.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1698
“You want Cynthion Group? Dream on!” Cynthia scoffed.
All the alchemical pills were produced by Leon and there was no confidential record or recipes of the pills so that Willie could not obtain any information from her.
She was clueless about how the pills were produced, and she would never breathe a word even if she knew the recipes.
“Think twice, Miss Shear! If you don’t want to suffer, I advise that you hand the recipes over and I might just let you go! Otherwise, there will be no mercy for you!” Willie threatened.
“It’s not happening! You won’t get anything from me!” She said in contempt.
She did not know how Leon produced the pills, but she helped Leon so many times that she did know some of the details but refused to disclose anything to Willie.
“Very well! B*tch, you asked for this!” Willie slammed the table in a rage and stood from his seat, before striding up to Cynthia.
“W–What are you doing? Don’t come any closer,” She shouted nervously as she backed away, knowing perfectly well what was going to happen.
“What do you think? Ever since the sales drive, you and Iris have been named the two most beautiful women in the southern region and countless men would kill to spend a night with any of you! I am a lucky man and I shall have a taste of you today!” He sneered and continued to approach her.
“You have no shame!” Her expression darkened. “I’m warning you, Willie, if you dare to hurt me, Leon will kill you!”
“Him? What a joke! Cynthia, the Libertons have set up a trap and we are just waiting for him to step into it. Once he arrives, he will die before he knows what hit him!” He sneered maliciously.
“You!” Cynthia paled.
She knew that Loen was formidable and had numerous tricks in hand, but he was outnumbered in the Libertons‘ territory and if he barged in on his own, he might fall right into the Libertons‘ trap.
Instantly, she could not help but worry for his safety.
”
“You aren’t the only one! Once I get rid of Leon and the Scammells, I’ll capture Iris as well! Both of you are going to be mine to toy with by then!” Willie laughed smugly.
He knew that Iris and Cynthia were in charge of Cynthion Group and they were bound to know how the alchemical pills were made. Once he had both of them under his control, he could torture them until they handed the recipes to him.
“You’re shameless!” Cynthia flushed in rage and narrowed her eyes as she prepared herself for something.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1699
“Let’s not waste any time! Come over here, and I’ll show you how wonderful it is to be with a man, “He sneered evilly and reached out to grab her clothes.
He intended to tear her clothes apart and force himself onto her, but before he could do so, next caught him off–guard.
what happened
“Go to hell, you scum!” Cynthia prepared herself and withdrew the Potential Energy Force in her jadeite pendant, before sending it directly at Willie.
Though her power was sealed, she could still utilize the Potential Energy Force.
She waited until this moment because she was waiting for the right moment and was concerned that the Potential Energy Force would not be effective on a formidable martial artist like Willie. However, his arrogance allowed him to let his guard down and it was the perfect chance for her to catch him by surprise she desperately wished that she could take Willie’s life right there and then.
“How’s this possible?!” Willie was stunned when he sensed the energy in Cynthia’s hands.
He did not expect Cynthia to wield such a powerful attack despite having her power sealed. However, he was a Semi–Overlord and managed to protect his body while backing away at the very last moment.
“Baam!”
Following a deafening noise, the Potential Energy Force in Cynthia’s hand brushed past his ear and cut into his shoulder and chest.
He spewed blood from his mouth under the impact and was sent flying into the table behind him, causing it to shatter into pieces.
Willie
Ener as powerful enough to shield himself with his energy right before the attack. Since the Potential
Energy Forces Leon gave Cynthia was only at the Initial Overlord State, he managed to survive; even so, he suffered severe internal damage and one side of his shoulder completely went numb.
When Cynthia realized that she failed to kill Willie, she withdrew another Potential Energy Force and charged toward Willie once again without hesitation.
“Somebody! Come and help me!” Willie was terrified and rolled off the ground to dodge the attack.
However, he was only in the Semi–Overlord State and his power could not hold a candle to the Potential Energy Force. As hard as he tried, he could not escape the attack’s range and the energy slammed him against the wall behind.
He spewed another mouthful of blood, his injuries worsening, but he was still breathing.
“Damn it! How stubborn can you be?” Cynthia’s expression darkened.
She knew that she was at the heart of the Libertons‘ territory and that it would be impossible for her to escape. Hence, she attacked Willie with the two Potential Energy Forces she received from Leon, intending to risk her own life to eliminate Willie.
However, Willie was a capable martial artist and had great reflexes, so she failed to kill him and
disappointment could not begin to describe how she felt at the moment.
She only had two Potential Energy Forces and used them all. With her power sealed, she was a sitting duck, waiting to be slaughtered.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1700
“Baam!”
Just then, the noises and Willie’s shout alerted the two mid–aged men and guards standing outside the door.
They opened the door and hurried inside.
“Mister Liberton, wh- what happened to you?”
They were shocked to find the room in a mess and Willie injured, so they immediately helped him up from the ground.
“Get that b*tch!” Willie pointed at Cynthia in rage.
“Yes!”
Two of the guards went over to grab Cynthia.
Cynthia did not resist, nor did she have the power to do so, and simply allowed the guards to restrain her.
“B*tch, how dare you sneak up on me? You’ll die for this!” Enraged, Willie walked over, suppressing the agonizing pain in his body.
“You’re the one who should die! If you weren’t lucky, you would have gone to hell by now!” Cynthia glared daggers at him fearlessly.
“B*tch, shut your mouth! I’ll kill you!” Blinded by rage, Willie raised his arm to slap her.
Cynthia bit down on her lower lip and her heart sank as she braced for the slap. She knew that she had
missed the opportunity to eliminate Willie and she completely enraged Willie.
What awaited her was the fate of being defiled by Willie and despair instantly took over her; for a moment, she wanted to take her own life before Willie had the chance to defile her.
Amid her despair, the door was kicked down with a deafening nose.
“Baam!”
As the door fell, a tall figure stood outside; his presence fierce and chilling.
It was Leon.
“How dare you?!” Leon’s eyes widened in rage when he saw that Willie was about to strike Cynthia. Without hesitation, he raised his arm and sent three daggers flying toward Willie’s palm at lightning speed.
“Who is it?” Startled, Willie withdrew his hand but was one step too late. He narrowly escaped the first two daggers and the third one slashed through his palm; blood was spilled and he immediately gasped in pain.
“Let her go!” Leon roared and flung his arm, sending a few more daggers toward the guards.
The two guards gaped and since Leon was far more powerful compared to them, a sharp pain shot up their wrists before they could react and they were forced to let go of Cynthia.
“Scram!” Leon leaped into the air and landed beside Cynthia, before releasing his energy to send the guards flying.
