Ch. 1711..1720
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1711
“Mister Willie, this kid’s too powerful! You need to get back up!” The Third Elder reminded Willie.
“Oh, that’s right!” Willie snapped out of the initial shock.
Though Leon displayed incredible strength, he was in the Initial Emperor State at best.
They were in the heart of the Libertons Mansion with countless capable martial artists and the head of the first and second bloodlines were both extremely formidable.
If Willie could get to the front yard to seek the others‘ help, Leon’s demise would be certain.
He immediately shouted at the remaining martial artists who could still fight and said, “Stall Leon! I’m
going to get help!” He then darted off and ran toward the front yard with all his might.
“Trying to run? Not so soon!” Leon scoffed and leaped into the air with one arm around Cynthia to go after Willie.
“That’s enough, kid!”
The other Libertons immediately stood in his way.
“Get out of my way!” Leon roared and flung his arm, sending a giant wave of energy toward them.
“He’s too strong!‘
“Attack the woman in his arm instead!”
The Libertons knew that they were no match for Leon and decided to target Cynthia instead to buy time for Willie.
“Don’t you dare!” Leon was furious when he noticed that the martial artists were planning to attack Cynthia.
He set Cynthia down and stood before her, before charging at his opponents. Amid his rage, he attacked with full force and the Libertons soon found themselves wailing on the ground with their limbs broken.
If Leon was not a merciful man who did not enjoy taking lives, they would have never survived.
“Cynthia, let’s go!”
Once all the Libertons were out of the way, Leon wrapped his arm around Cynthia once again and hurried after Willie.
Willie took advantage of the time and arrived at a garden near the center of the room.
Just then, Leon caught up with him and sent three daggers piercing through the air in Willie’s direction.
“Somebody, help!” Terrified, Willie rolled on the ground to dodge the daggers, but was far too weak compared to Leon; despite his effort, he only managed to dodge two of the daggers and the last name struck
him at his knee.
He gasped in pain and fumbled, before collapsing onto the ground.
Leon leaped into the air and appeared before Willie within a matter of seconds. Before Willie could get up, Leon stomped his feet against Willie’s chest and pinned him down.
Feeling as though a gigantic rock landed on his chest, a piercing pain overwhelmed Willie as his ribs were broken and he immediately spewed blood from his mouth.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1712
“Stop!”
Just then, a roar echoed in the air and Crowley strode in with forty martial artists from the front yard.
The noises and Willie’s cries for help finally alerted his grandfather and Crowley immediately headed toward the garden but was still one step too late.
“Grandpa, you’re finally here! Help me!” Willie was overjoyed when he saw Crowley and instantly started pleading for help hysterically.
“I suppose you’re Leon Wolf? Let Willie go right now!” Crowley glared daggers at Leon.
To eliminate the Scammells and Leon, he arranged for most of the family martial artists in the front yard but placed the Third and Fourth Elder along with a dozen martial artists in the inner courtyard for safety measures.
Crowley did not know how Loen managed to get past the two elders and capture Willie, and he could not see the Third Elders and the others around; however, he knew that Leon was young and was merely a relative of the Scammells, so there was no way that he could possibly compare to a powerful martial artist like Crowley.
“Who are you to tell me what to do, old twat? Who do you think you are?” Leon sneered and scanned Crowley in contempt.
Judging from the way Willie addressed the man before him, Leon guessed that he was likely looking at the head of the Libertons. Since the Libertons made themselves his enemies, he saw no point in showing any respect.
“How arrogant! If you’re that desperate to die, I shall grant your wish!” Crowley was furious and immediately signaled the others to rescue Willie by force.
“Don’t try to bluff, old twat! I’m warning you! If you try to sic your people at me, I’ll have Willie’s head!” Leon immediately picked Willie up from the ground by the neck.
“Stop! Grandpa, help me!” Terrified, Willie was starting to have trouble breathing as Leon tightened his grip around his neck; his eyes were filled with fear toward death.
“Why you!” Crowley’s expression darkened but stilled out of concern for Willie’s safety.
“Crowley, that kid is just trying to scare you. Don’t worry! If he dares to kill Willie, both he and his woman will die here! I think we should capture that woman and exchange hostage!” Fergus, Crowley’s brother, narrowed his eyes calculatingly and pointed out Leon’s weakness.
“Oh!” Crowley realized what Fergus said made sense.
Willie was the only one who was keeping Leon alive and Leon would never dare to harm Willie; once they captured Cynthia and used her against Leon, they could easily restrain Leon.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1713
“You wouldn’t dare!” Leon’s expression darkened and he immediately stood before Cynthia protectively.
After taking the Dragon Pill, his power level rose and he had no fear for anyone in the Intermediate Emperor State or below. However, the Libertons outnumbered him and if they swarmed at him to capture Cynthia, Leon might not be able to protect her on his own.
“This is your last chance, kid. If you know what’s best for you, you’ll let Willie go right now and I might consider sparing your life, or I’ll make sure that you die screaming!” Crowley threatened.
Since Willie’s life was hanging by a thread, Crowley was concerned that Leon might choose to risk everything, so he tried to negotiate with Leon with the hope that he could convince Loen into letting Willie go.
“That’s not happening! No one takes a step forward, or I’ll kill Willie! We both lose!” Leon said coldly without care for Crowley’s threat.
He already told Iris to seek help from the Scammells before coming. Since the Scammells were yet to arrive, he could not attack the Libertons out of concern for Cynthia’s safety, so he could only use Willie to stall.
“Very well! You asked for this! If you dare to hurt Willie, you and your woman will die for it!” Crowley’s expression darkened as he lost patience.
Since Leon was outnumbered, Crowley predicted that Leon would not get rid of Willie so soon and decided to gamble, or the situation would only be more challenging once the Scammells arrived.
“Go! Capture that woman!” Crowley raised his arm and commanded as he lurked behind the others, searching for a chance to rescue Willie.
“Yes!”
The Libertons instantly surrounded Leon and Cynthia.
“Damn it!” Leon paled and his heart sank as he realized that he had no choice but to fight.
“How the mighty have fallen for the Libertons to bully a junior with such a big group! Crowley, have you finally lost the last bit of your dignity?!”
Just then, a roar echoed in the air.
Patrick strode in with thirty Scammells martial artists along with Benedict, George, and the others.
“The Scammells are here! Great! Cynthia, hold on tight!” Leon beamed. He grabbed Willie with one arm and Cynthia with the other, before darting toward Patrick.
“Where do you think you are going?”
The Libertons realized that Leon wanted to regroup with the Scammells and immediately tried to stop them.
However, Leon’s speed rose along with his power and before they had the chance to stop him, he already charged out of the encirclement and arrived by Patrick’s side.
“Hurry after him!” Furious, Crowley urged the other Libertons.
The two parties stopped right when they were five meters away from one another and stared at one another.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1714
Once Leon regrouped with the Scammells, he let go of Cynthia.
“Cynthia, are you alright?”
Both Benedict and Harvey were relieved and instantly hurried over to check on her.
“I’m fine. Why are you all in the southern region, Grandpa?” Cynthia was shocked to see her family here.
“We came to deliver herbs to Leon and dropped by to see you,” Benedict explained, before scanning her up and down.
Once he and Harvey confirmed that Cynthia was indeed safe and unharmed, they visibly relaxed.
Meanwhile, Leon dragged Willie toward Ruth and George, before tossing him before Ruth roughly. “Ruth, I’ve brought the man who insulted and hurt you here! Do whatever you want to him!” Leon said.
Ruth once reminded him to keep Willie alive because she wanted to seek revenge on her own, which was one of the reasons why he did not kill Willie.
“Great! You’re brilliant, Leon. You never disappoint!” Ruth said cheerfully.
Willie, who was arrogant and powerful, was now at Leon’s mercy and the sight pleased Ruth to the point that she felt the pain in her body lifting.
“Ruth, you can’t even walk properly. Should I help?” Leon said.
“It’s fine! I need to do this myself!” She insisted and grabbed an iron rod from one of the Collins before hopping her way forward with George’s help.
“W- what are you going to do with that?” An ominous feeling took over Willie when he saw the iron rod in her hand.
“What do you think? Gimpy, you broke my leg, and now I’m paying you back in double!” She said coldly, before raising the iron rod and aiming at one of Willie’s legs.
“Don’t!” Willie’s blood ran cold and he tried to get away, but Leon pinned him down against the ground, so he resorted to seeking help from the Libertons. “Grandpa, help me!”
“Stop!” Crowley roared before Ruth could strike.
The Libertons desperately wanted to help, but could not act recklessly when Willie was at Leon’s mercy.
The situation changed now that the Scammells arrived because Loen no longer had to watch over his back for Cynthia’s safety and if the Libertons attempted to rescue Willie by force, Leon might kill Willie in a fit of rage.
“Who are you to tell me what to do, old man? Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?” Ruth. scoffed and struck Willie in the knee without hesitation.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1715
“Snap!”
Willie wailed and paled at the agonizing pain in his leg as he struggled to remain conscious.
“Why you!”
Crowley and Wade gritted their teeth in rage as they watched Ruth break Willie’s leg.
“Wench, you better stop now, or I’ll make sure that you and Leon die screaming today!” Crowley gritted out. maliciously.
“Is that so? I’m excited to see what you can do to Leon!” Ruth smirked mockingly.
She knew the extent of Leon’s strength, especially with the powerful Potential Energy Forces he had, so she had no fear for Crowley’s threats as long as Leon was by her side.
She raised the iron rod once again and struck down at Willie’s other leg.
“Snap!”
Following the crisp sound of bones cracking, she broke both of Willie’s legs and avenged what he did to her; Ruth was both excited and satisfied with the outcome.
“Ah!!!” Willie screamed, his features twisting in misery and pain.
“I’m going to kill you!” Wade glared daggers at Ruth.
Willie was his son and Ruth broke Willie’s legs mercilessly, which was something he could not tolerate as a father. He took a step forward and was about to charge toward Leon, only to be stopped by Crowley.
“Patrick, isn’t it about time that you make Leon let Willie go?” Crowley turned his sharp glare at Patrick.
He knew that Leon was young and prideful, which meant that Leon would never let Willie go when asked to do so, so he could only place his hope on Patrick instead.
Patrick was the leader of the Scammells and as a relative of the Scammells, Leon was supposed to obey Patrick’s order and would not dare to say otherwise if Patrick agreed to let Willie go.
“Well,” Patrick muttered hesitantly.
Though Leon was a part of their family, after all the favor Leon gave them in the past, Patrick was the one who obeyed Leon in most circumstances instead of the other way around.
Crowley overestimated Patrick’s influence and underestimated Leon’s importance in the family; so long as Leon was unwilling to let Willie go, there was no way that Patrick could make him.
“Patrick, think twice! You shouldn’t take this too far. Let Willie go now and I can consider forgetting this ever happened. Leon and the rest of you can leave unscathed! If you turn this down, the Libertons will do everything in our power to make sure that none of you walk out of here alive!” Crowley narrowed his eyes. coldly in response to Patrick’s silence, mistaking it as a sign that Patrick was reluctant to let Willie go.
Crowley and the Libertons plotted to lure Leon and the Scammells over for the sole purpose of eliminating them all, so even if Patrick agreed to let Willie go, Crowley did not intend on keeping his promise of allowing
Leon and the Scammells to leave. He only made such a promise to break Willie free and once that was achieved, the Libertons could attack without any concern.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1716
“You’ll let us go? Very well! Remember your promise!” Patrick wavered and immediately hurried toward Leon.
The Libertons were always the Scammells‘ enemies and Patrick wanted to seize the chance to eliminate the Liberton, but it was impossible.
Ever since Rick and members of the second bloodline were removed from the family, the Scammells lost their former glory.
Patrick brought two elders and close to thirty skilled martial artists to help Leon, leaving only three elders in the family mansion. Meanwhile, there were at least forty martial artists on the Libertons‘ side, giving the Libertons an advantage over the Scammells in terms of numbers and strength.
The difference in power was so distinct that Patrick knew for certain that the Scammells and Leon were the ones who would suffer in the end if they refused to release Willie.
Since Crowley offered to let the Scammells leave unscathed once Leon let go of Willie, it was a deal that Patrick was more than happy to take.
He took a few long strides toward Leon. “Leon, Willie already has both his legs broken, so you have gotten your revenge! I think you should just let him go and call this a day,” he said, trying to hint that Leon would be putting himself and the Scammells at risk if the situation escalate further.
“No. I can’t let him go!” Leon shook his head and rejected Patrick’s advice without hesitation
“Why not?” Patrick was surprised.
He brought the Scammells here mainly to rescue Leon and prevent him from dying at the hands of the Libertons. Since Leon successfully rescued Cynthia and Crowley agreed to let them go, he could not understand why Leon would refuse to free Willie.
Naturally, he was unaware that Leon intended on destroying the Libertons once and for all and did not seek the Scammells‘ help simply to rescue Cynthia.
“Elder Scammells, Willie is a vicious, despicable man. He deserves to die for raising his hands at Cynthia and Ruth! I’m going to kill him today to make it right by Cynthia and Ruth!” Leon said with determination.
Mercy toward one’s enemy was nothing but cruelty toward oneself.
Leon knew that letting Willie go would only cause him more trouble in the future; considering the despicable nature of Willie, his action would only escalate and he might attempt to harm them in even worse ways.
Leon refused to let a potential danger go.
“What?” Patrick was stunned, and so were Benedict, George, and the others.
They all knew Leon to be a merciful and forgiving man, so none of them expected Leon to murder for the sake of Ruth and Cynthia.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1717
“Leon, I understand how you feel, but we’re in the heart of the Libertons‘ territory and they overpower us. You need to be patient,” Patrick lowered his voice.
Leon proved himself formidable when he defeated two of the Martell martial artists in the Intermediate Emperor State. However, part of the reason for Leon’s victory against Bill and Anderson was because of the treasure he owned.
Leon was currently outnumbered even with the help of the Scammells, so he did not stand a chance of winning.
“That’s right!”
“Leon, Cynthia, and Ruth are alright now, so let this go!”
Benedict and George joined the conversation as well.
Though they were enraged that Willie attacked their granddaughters, they knew that they were no longer in Springfield City and were powerless out of their territory.
Their understanding of Leon remained frozen in time since the last time they saw him, which led them to believe that Leon was in the Advanced Overlord State at best.
Though that level of strength would be sufficient for Leon to rule over Springfield City, he would only be considered mediocre in a place like the southern region.
Regarding the almighty Potential Energy Force Leon possessed, they were all experienced enough to know that it was merely something that Leon happened upon by luck and could not be used repeatedly. Hence, Leon would be risking his life if he tried to fight the Libertons.
“No way. This won’t pass. Not only am I going to kill Willie, but I’ll also destroy the Libertons once and for all!” Leon said with determination.
Patrick, Benedict, and the others were shaken to their cores; they gaped at Leon in disbelief as they wondered what gave Leon the confidence that he could accomplish such a thing.
“You want to destroy the Libertons? How arrogant!”
Crowley and the other Libertons were provoked.
Crowley looked down on Leon and would have struck if Leon did not capture Willie; the fact that Leon declared to destroy the Libertons completely enraged him.
“This is your last chance, kid. If you know what’s best for you, let Willie go now or none of you are walking out of here alive!” Crowley narrowed his eyes maliciously and signaled his men to surround Leon and the Scammells.
Tension rose in the air and a battle was about to break out.
“Let him go? Dream on! Old twat, I’ll show mercy and give you a chance! All of the Libertons‘ direct descendants will break one of their arms and kneel to Ruth and Cynthia to beg for their forgiveness! You’ll then sell all your properties and leave the southern region. If you agree to these terms, I’ll let Willie go and spare you! Otherwise, I’ll eliminate the Libertons, roots, and stems, from the southern region!” Leon said coldly.
He did not particularly enjoy killing and was willing to show mercy if the Libertons agreed to his terms.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1718
“What?”
Crowley and the other Libertons glared at Loen darkly when they heard his terms.
‘How dare he use Willic to threaten us into kneeling to him and leaving the southern region? Does he think that we would accept these terms?‘ Crowley thought.
“Brat, don’t think that you can do whatever you want simply because you’re holding Willie hostage! If you want war, I will give it to you! Everyone, get Willie out!” Unable to suppress his rage any longer, Crowley commanded the Libertons intending to rescue Willie by force.
“I’ve given you the chance, old twat! If you won’t take it, you can’t blame me for what happens next!” Leon scoffed and picked Willie off the ground like he was lifting a ragged doll.
“Wolf, wh- what are you doing?” An ominous feeling took over Willie.
“It’s simple. I sending you to hell!” Leon said ruthlessly.
“What?! Y- You wouldn’t dare! If you dare to hurt me, Grandpa is going to kill you!” Willie was terrified,
However, they were in the Libertons Mansion and Leon was outnumbered, so he assumed that Leon was only scaring him and would not dare to kill him.
He regained his composure and swore inwardly that he would tear Leon into shreds once he escaped.
“Willie is right! Leon, if you hurt him, you and the Scammells will all die!” Crowley roared. He, too, thought that Leon was simply bluffing and would not harm Willie unless he wished to die.
“You’ll find out if I’m bluffing soon enough! Willie Liberton, you can die now. I hope you become a better man in your next life!” Leon narrowed his eyes coldly and landed a powerful blow at Wille’s chest.
“Baam!”
Following a deafening sound, the energy on his fist pierced through Willie’s chest, leaving a fist–sized hole.
“You-” Willie widened his eyes in shock and lowered his gaze to the hole in his chest, before collapsing onto the ground; up until the moment he died, he still could not believe that Leon would kill him.
“H- How’s this possible?”
Everyone in the scene was utterly stunned by the sight as they stared at Leon in disbelief; none of them could believe that Leon would actually kill Willie despite being at disadvantage and they were all shocked by his recklessness.
“Leon, you little bast*rd! I’m going to flay you alive!” Crowley lost his composure and roared in rage, before leaping into the air to launch a mighty blow at Leon; his power pierced through the air like a lightning and conveyed his determination to tear Leon into shreds for revenge.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1719
“Aren’t you in a hurry to die?” Leon scoffed sarcastically and was about to counter when Patrick stepped in.
He stood before Leon and said, “Leon, I’ll hold him off. Take Iris and leave! The Scammells will stall them!”
Patrick then proceeded to launch a powerful attack on Crowley.
Since the Libertons had the number, Leon and the Scammells were bound to lose, so the best Patrick could do was to shield Leon until he escaped with the others; that way, they might still survive.
“The Intermediate Emperor State!” Crowley was shocked when he came into contact with Patrick’s energy.
He was targeting Leon and did not expect Patrick to come in between. It was too late for him to adjust his attack, so he did a backflip in the air and backed away, narrowly escaping Patrick’s attack.
“Scammells, cover Leon and the others until they are out of here safely!” Patrick commanded.
“Yes!”
The Scammells instantly moved into formation and stood before the Libertons to stop them from advancing and buy time for Leon to run.
“You want to run? Dream on! Attack, all of you! Kill them at all costs! I want them all to pay for Willie’s death!” Wade roared as he glared at Leon with bloodshot eyes.
As a father, he refused to let the murderer of his son escape. Suppressing the grief and rage boiling within him, he led the Libertons and charged toward the Scammells hysterically.
A battle instantly erupted.
“Leon, let’s go!” Benedict and George urged in fear.
Though they were all powerful figures in Springfield City and experienced different hardships in their lives, martial artists in the Overlord State were considered the most powerful individuals in the city.
Even for families as influential as the Collins and the Shears, there were only several Overlords in their families combined.
As they watched the battle break out, they realized that all the Libertons and Scammells were in the Overlord States or above, which quite several martial artists in the Peak Overlord and Semi–Emperor States.
The situation escalated far beyond their control and since they assumed that Leon was only in the Advanced or Peak Overlord State, none of them believed that Leon could defend himself.
With the Scammells‘ help to stall the Libertons, Benedict and George decided that they must escape immediately, or they would all suffer once the Scammells were defeated.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1720
“Run? There’s no need for that! Elder Shear, just relax. I said that I’ll destroy the Libertons and I intend on keeping that promise!” Leon said but did not immediately move against the Libertons as he needed to protect Iris, Cynthia, and the others.
If he took an offensive position and drifted too far away from them, the Libertons might sneak up on Benedict and the others when they had the chance.
“Why you!”
Benedict and George were both furious.
With the Scammells‘ help, this was their best chance in escaping, yet Leon stubbornly refused to leave and from their perspectives, this was nothing short of a suicide mission; once the Libertons got past the Scammells, they would lose the chance of escaping to safety.
As they anticipated, Wade was in a hurry to avenge his son’s death and did not waste his time with the Scammells. He tore through the Scammells‘ defense line with five other Libertons and charged toward Leon.
The Scammells were at a disadvantage and had no power to stop Wade, so they could only watch as Wade darted toward Leon helplessly.
“You little bast*rd! Die!” Wade shouted furiously as he launched an attack alongside other Libertons and charged toward Leon.
After fighting Leon the time before, Wade found out that Leon possessed a defensive tool that had the power of the Peak Overlord State. Since Wade was in the same power level, it would not be possible for him to break past Leon’s defense. However, they had the advantage of number and Leon was bound to be defeated by the combined force of the Libertons.
“Advanced and Peak Overlord States! It’s over! Leon’s done for.”
Benedict, George, and the others paled and their hearts sank.
Through the energy radiating off of Wade and the others, they could tell that two of them were in the Peak Overlord State and the other four were in the Advanced Overlord State.
If they were not mistaken, Leon and everyone else on his side were bound to meet their demises and despair filled their heart at the realization.
In the next moment, Leon leaped into action and flung his arm, sending a dozen daggers into the air flying at the Libertons.
“He has weapons!”
The Libertons were taken by surprise and resorted to seizing the attack to dodge the daggers.
Leon intended on forcing the Libertons to take their distance to prevent them from attacking Iris and the others, and also to defeat them one by one. Once his purpose was achieved, he immediately charged Wade to take him down first.
