The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1791

"Elegante Group? I've never heard of it! Cousin, it's just a small cosmetic firm. It can't possibly affect Hiltons Corporation's status! I think you're worried about too much!" Seth said and did not see Elegante Group as a threat.

"You don't understand! It's not just an ordinary cosmetic firm. I don't know how they managed it, but they somehow persuaded Hughes Group to work with them, or it would’ve never grown so rapidly!" Joel said.

Hiltons Corporation was the head of the southern region's cosmetic industry. Since Elegante Group established itself in the southern region, Joel was informed about its corporation with Hughes Group.

In modern society, resources and platforms were crucial to businesses.

There were plenty of cosmetic firms in the southern region and Hiltons Corporation had nothing to fear from other companies, but Elegante Group was different.

It received great feedback for its product and Hughes Group's support was only stronger, which meant that Elegante Group would soon become a threat to Hiltons Corporation and that was what caught Joel's attention.

"I see!" Seth realized that he underestimated Elegante Group. "That's strange, though! What's so great about this company for Hughes Group to share recourses with it? Is it run by some powerful figure?"

The Hughes were one of the most influential families in the southern region and they would have never agreed to work with Elegante Group if it had no powerful forces at work, which meant that there was a possibility that Elegante Group came from a unique background.

"I don't know about that! I wanted to call Darius and ask him about Elegante Group, but I don't know him in person and this is probably confidential information, so I'm sure he won't say a word to me," Joel massaged his temples in annoyance.

There were a total of five distributors in the southern region and Hughes Group was merely one of them.

The cosmetic products sold by Hiltons Corporation were distributed through a different company. Hiltons Corporation was not even a partner with Hughes Group, so it would be impossible for him to obtain any information from Darius.

"It's fine! I know Darius's brother-in-law, Gordon. I can call him and ask him about it! Maybe he knows something about this company!" Seth suggested.

"Oh? Really? Call him right now, then!" Joel urged excitedly.

One must know one's enemy and considering the potential of Elegante Group, Joel already decided to nip it in the bud. However, he would need to find out more about Elegante Group before doing anything; if a certain powerful family were behind Elegante Group, the Hiltons would suffer for attempting to destroy the company.

"Sure," Seth said, before making a call to Gordon.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1792

"Hello, Mister Golan. Do you need something?" Gordon said as soon as he answered the call.

"Mister Bailey, I want information regarding Elegante Group. Do you know anything?" Seth asked.

"Elegante Group? Of course, I know that company!" Gordon conflicted with Leon recently.

Not only was he badly beaten, but he was also eventually forced to kneel and apologize to Leon and Snow, so the memories of the humiliation were still fresh.

"Great! Tell me everything you know about Elegante Group," Seth said and switched his phone to speaker mode so that Joel could listen to the conversation as well.

"Elegante Group is a small business that started in Springfield City. The chairman is a kid called Leon Wolf," Gordon explained.

"A company from Springfield City?’ Both Joel and Seth were stunned.

They shot each other a shocked look as they thought that Elegante Group obtained the resources from Hughes Group because it was run by a powerful figure.

To their bewilderment, Elegante Group was only a small business that started in a small city, which made put it at the very bottom of the food chain in the southern region.

"Mister Bailey, if Elegante Group is just a powerless small business, why would Hughes Group offer it so many resources?" Seth asked in confusion.

"Well," Gordon was about to explain the connection between Leon and the Thompsons when he suddenly thought of something and decided against it.

Seth was a relative of the Hiltons and the Hiltons ran the top cosmetic firm in the southern region.

Elegante Group made itself the Hiltons' competitor by entering the southern region market. Gordon realized that the Hiltons were looking into Elegante Group's background to get rid of it.

Since Leon injured him and forced him to kneel and apologize, Gordon resented Leon and desperately wished to seek revenge.

If the Hiltons destroyed Leon and the Elegante Group, the humiliation he was put through would be avenged and that was exactly what he wanted.

"Mister Bailey, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?" Seth asked.

"Oh, nothing! The collaboration between Elegante Group and Hughes Group is handled by my brother-in-law. I know that Elegante Group is a small business that started in Springfield City, so I don't know much about anything else," Gordon said.

The Thompsons were the most influential family in the southern region and if the Hiltons found out that Leon was connected to the Thompsons, they might not attack the Elegante Group. Hence, Gordon purposefully omitted the information to lure the Hiltons into eliminating Leon.

"I see. Alright, then. Thank you for your information, Mister Bailey,’ Seth said, before ending the call.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1793

"I've done my research about them, so don't worry!” Seth said with a smile.

Gordon was not clear as to why Hughes Group would invest so much in Elegante Group, but since Elegante Group originated from a small city, it was unlikely that the company was supported by powerful figures.

Both Seth and Joel thought the same.

Joel knew how effective Elegante Group's products were and assumed that the investment was simply a result of Darius seeing the potential in Elegante Group.

"How dare a small foreign business attempt to find a place in the southern region market?! They must learn their places!" Darius scoffed and

narrowed his eyes viciously, his determination to destroy Elegante Group strengthening.

"Cousin, what are you going to do?" Seth asked.

"The Elegante Group's products work like magic, and if we can buy the company out, it will give the Hiltons Corporation a cutting edge!" Joel said, his eyes lighting up eagerly.

Though Hiltons Corporation was the head of the southern region cosmetic industry, there were five regions in Sky County. Since Hiltons Corporation had little influence in other regions, it had little power in general.

With the Elegante Group's appearance, their chance came.

Since the Elegante Group offered much better products than even the most luxurious brands with close to no rivals in terms of quality. If the Hiltons Corporation could take over Elegante Group, they would be able to swiftly infiltrate into the market of other regions and slowly become the head of the cosmetic industry in all of Sky County, bringing them unimaginable wealth and status.

"That's a good idea! It's just that Elegante Group holds great potential and I don't think they would agree to sell their company," Seth said casually.

"That's not up to them! It's the jungle's rule. The Elegante Group is a small business from a small city outside the southern region. They will sell us the company, whether they want to or not!" Joel sneered.

"Be that as it may, the Hiltons are one of the most powerful families in the southern region. Reputation is important to your family and simply forcing them into selling you the company might affect your family's reputation,' Seth said thoughtfully.

"Well, that's the difficult part," Joel fell into silence.

"How about this? Leave it to me, Cousin! I will take over Elegante Group and hand it to the Hiltons!" Seth offered.

"Um, alright, then. I'll leave buying Elegante Group to you! Let me know if you need anything. You have my full support!" Joel said as he agreed that it was a possible solution to his concern; that way, the Hiltons would not be required to get involved and would obtain Elegante Group at the same time.

"It's just a small business! It's a piece of cake! Don't worry, Cousin! I won't let you down!" Seth promised.

The two exchanged knowing looks and burst into arrogant laughter as though they already had Elegante Group under their control.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1794

Outisde the gate of the Elegante Group building, a black luxury car stopped and once the door opened, Seth stepped out smugly with two of his bodyguards.

"Please stop there! May I know what's your business here?"

Two security guards stopped Seth on his track as soon as he strode past the gate.

"I want to meet with your chairman! Take me to him right now!" Seth commanded arrogantly.

"I'm sorry, Sir, but our chairman isn't in the office today."

The guards could tell that Seth was someone of high status and did not dare to cross him, so they told him the truth.

"Your chairman isn't in the office? What about your president?" Seth was surprised.

"Miss Young's here. Please hang on for a moment. We'll inform her about your visit," the guards said respectfully.

"Hang on? I don't have time to waste! Get out of my way!" Seth scoffed and released his true energy at the guards.

"Baam! Baam!"

The security guards were ordinary men swarmed by the energy before they could react; they were instantly sent slamming into the wall behind them and fell onto the ground with blood scrolling down their heads.

Seth ignored them and strode in smugly with his bodyguards.

"Who dares to cause trouble here?! Who do you think you are?!’

Just then, an angered roar echoed in the air. A towering mid-aged man hurried over with two young men.

It was one of the Four Tigers in Springfield City, Mason.

Mason was the first subordinate Leon took under his wings and once Leon eliminated all his enemies to establish the Wolf Enterprises, Mason was officially employed.

Elegante Group was growing rapidly in the southern region recently. Considering the lack of manpower in the security department, Leon arranged for a few martial artists in the Wolf Enterprises to guard Elegante Group, and Mason was one of the many who were transferred to the southern region.

He started training with Dispel Demon Method, an Advanced Power method.

With hard work and the help of Energy Nurturing Pills, he finally reached the Intermediate Supreme State.

The two young men with him were two of the few martial artists Leon recruited for Cynthion Group and were both in the Realm of Supreme Masters as well.

Though their strength was considered mediocre in the southern region, it was better than none and would be sufficient when handling ordinary thugs.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1795

"Who are you? Why did you beat our guards and barge in here?!" Mason roared and stopped Seth and two other men.

"You are in the Supreme States, and you don't even have the right to speak to me!" Seth scoffed and turned to his bodyguard. "Floyd, I'll leave these men to you. Keep them out of the way!"

"Yes!" Floyd said, before stepping forward and lunging himself at Mason.

"How? How dare you?!" Mason was furious. Not only had Seth barged into Elegante Group, but he also resorted to violence for no reason.

Amid his anger, he noticed that Floyd was far more powerful than him and immediately joined forces with the other two men to fend Floyd off.

However, he underestimated the strength of martial artists in the southern region and Floyd long reached the Advanced Overlord State.

"Baam! Baam! Baam!"

Floyd launched attack after attack, leaving no chance for them to resist and soon, they were all sent flying.

Mason and the other two spewed blood from their mouths and instantly lost the ability to fight.

"Ha! As expected of a small company from Springfield City! You are just as useful as trash is!" Seth spat at Mason in contempt.

After witnessing how weak the guards were, he confirmed the belief that Elegante Group was merely a small business and became increasingly arrogant.

He ignored the three and strode toward the office smugly with his bodyguards.

"Damn it!" Mason was livid as he watched them disappear into the distance. He soon snapped out of it and grabbed his phone to call Leon, informing him of the current situation.

Meanwhile, Leon was on his way to the office.

The Elegante Group grew and every aspect of the business stabilized, so Leon shifted his focus to the Cynthion Group instead.

He would occasionally drop by Cynthion Group or Scammells Corporation in the hope that Scammells Corporation would gather all the ingredients he needed soon so that he could start producing the next batch of alchemical pills for the second sales drive.

Earlier that morning, he went to Cynthion Group with Cynthia, but since the supply of herbs fell short, there was nothing much for him to do.

After making his round in the office, he left and drove toward Elegante Group, only to receive a call from Mason, informing him that there were intruders in Elegante Group.

Shocked, Leon immediately stepped onto the accelerator and hurried toward the Elegante Group.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1796

Meanwhile, Seth barged into the service hall of Elegante Group with his bodyguards.

Iris already received the report from the security guards at this point, so she hurried outside with Roanne, Snow, and Roanne's bodyguard, John.

The two parties ran into one another in the hall.

"Who are you people? Why did you barge into our office?" Iris questioned sharply, feeling confused as to what their intentions could be.

"So beautiful! There are three extreme beauties at once! Am I dreaming?’ Seth froze at the sight of Iris, Roanne, and Snow.

As the eldest son of the Golans, he saw countless women in the past, but he never saw anyone as beautiful as the three before his eyes.

Instantly, he was stunned.

Iris and Cynthia were recognized fortheir beauty since the Cynthion Group sales drive. The two were referred to as the Twin Beauties of the Southern Region and became the dream women of all eligible bachelors in the Southern region.

Seth was injured in the Black Market and was recovering at home during the sales drive, so the Golans sent another direct descendent to attend the sales drive in his place. Hence, he did not know he was looking at one of the Twin Beauties.

"Who are you?” He snapped out of it and stared at Iris eagerly.

"I’m the president of Elegante Group, Iris Young! Who on earth are you?!’ Iris questioned sharply.

"So you're the president here! Listen well, I'm the eldest son of the Golans, Seth Golan!’’ Seth sneered smugly.

"Mister Golan, Elegante Group has nothing to do with you, so why did you barge in here with your men?' Iris confronted.

"It's simple. I took a liking to your company and I plan on buying it!" Seth said demandingly.

"You want to buy Elegante Group? What kind of a joke is that?! We don't plan on selling the company. Please leave!" Iris said coldly.

"That's not up to you! This is the contract for the buyout and the Golans are willing to pay you 30 million for it! Hand this over to the chairman and get him to sign this within two days, or face the consequences!" Seth said and threw a contract toward Iris arrogantly as though he already had Elegante Group in the palm of his hand.

"30 million? Dream on!" Iris sneered.

Elegante Group was worth at least 780 million or even more. Not only did Seth plan on forcing them to sell the company, but he also dared to do with 30 million and Iris was livid.

"Mister Golan, we are not selling this company! Please take your men and leave now, or we will remove you by force!" Iris warned coldly.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1797

"As if you can resist. What a joke! You should all know your place! Since you want to suffer, I will do this the hard way!" Seth's expression darkened.

He assumed that Elegante Group was merely a small business that started in Springfield City and saw how weak the security guards of the office were, so he did not care about Iris's threats.

"What are you planning?" Iris's expression darkened as an ominous feeling overwhelmed her.

"What do you think? Miss Young, if I'm not mistaken, you must be close with the chairman if you are the president here, right? I will capture you and your chairman can file all the paperwork for the buy over, before coming to the Golans to bring you home once he has the contracts!" Seth sneered and scanned Iris devilishly.

Iris was extremely beautiful and her beauty even surpassed that of Snow and Roanne.

Seth never saw such a beautiful woman before and was instantly enslaved by her as soon as he laid eyes on her.

He intended to capture Iris and use her to force Leon into selling Elegante Group, all the while taking the opportunity to claim Iris as his own.

"You! You wouldn't dare!" Iris paled.

"You'll know if I dare to soon enough! You better come with me, Darling!’ Seth sneered and charged toward Iris to grab her.

Before Roanne had the chance to say anything, John immediately darted forward to stand before Iris, Roanne, and Snow.

He did not leap into action so far because he was a senior and did not want to bully a junior like Seth.

However, Seth sunk low enough to raise his hand at a woman; since Iris was Leon's girlfriend, John could not possibly allow Iris to be captured considering the relationship between Leon and the Thompsons.

"Stop! Who are you to wreak havoc here in Elegante Group?!"

Just as John was about to attack, an angered roar echoed in the air and a figure descended from the air, landing steadily before Iris and the others.

It was Leon.

"Leon, you're finally here!"

"I'm so glad!"

Iris, Roanne, and Snow were relieved when they saw Leon, and so was John.

He was a senior who valued his reputation and since Iris was not a member of the Thompsons, he might risk damaging his family's reputation if he attacked a junior.

Since Leon arrived in time, he would no longer be required to interfere because there was not a man among the younger generation of martial artists in the southern region who could defeat Leon.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1798

"You?!’ Seth was shocked when he recognized Leon.

He was once injured by Leon when he tried to rob Leon of the Spiritual Pearl in the Black Market.

He wanted to seek revenge afterward but did not know Leon's name or who he was, so it was impossible to find Leon on a land as vast as the southern region. In the end, he was forced to give up.

Never did he imagine that Leon was the chairman of Elegante Group and he was in awe of the odds.

"The eldest son of the Golans!" Leon was also slightly taken by surprise when he recognized Seth.

"Haha! Who would've known that fate would have you delivered directly to me? Kid, I've been searching for you for the longest time, and I've finally found you!' Seth burst into laughter.

"Why were you searching for me? Was the lesson I taught you the time before not enough? Do you want some more spanking?" Leon smirked mockingly.

"That's enough! You injured me before, and it's time that you pay for that!’ Seth's smile vanished and was replaced by a ferocious look.

"And you, someone who lost to me once, are going to do that? What a joke! " Leon scoffed in contempt.

"Why you!" Seth was enraged by Leon's tone but took a deep breath to suppress his anger when he remembered his true purpose.

"You have one chance! The Golans would like to buy Elegante Group out with 30 million! If you know what's best for yourself, you will hand Elegante group and the treasure you took from me, and I can consider letting you live! Refuse, and I will tear you to shreds!' Seth threatened ferociously.

"So you're here for Elegante Group!" Realization dawned on Leon.

He was confused at first as Seth did not know his true identity and had no reason to cause trouble in Elegante Group; it was not until this moment that Leon realized Seth came to take control over Elegante Group.

"That's right! This is your only chance! You have ten seconds to consider!' Seth sneered. "One, two, three!"

"Dream on! Seth, the gods are merciful and I'll give you a chance as well! Disappear before my sight within ten seconds, and I can pretend that none of these ever happened, or you'll pay for this intrusion!” Leon sneered and used Seth's words against him.

"Very well! You asked for this! Since you refuse to take the chance, I won't show you any mercy! I'm going to pay you back the humiliation you put me through by ten folds!" Seth laughed and turned to one of his bodyguards." Floyd, destroy him and break his eyes. Teach him what the Golans are capable of!" "Yes!" Floyd strode forward.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1799

Just then, Mason and the two young men who were injured by Floyd hurried toward Leon from the hall.

Seeing that Floyd was about to attack, Mason warned Leon hastily, "Mister Wolf, this man is extremely formidable and I think that he's in the Advanced Overlord State! He injured all three of us just now, so be careful!"

"Scared? As if I’d be scared of a piece of trash like him! Seth, this is your only chance. All three of you can come at me together and save me some time!’ Leon pointed at the three men before him in contempt.

Back in Springfield City, there were plenty of people who knew that Leon reached the Advanced Overlord State and since Floyd was on the same power level as Leon, Mason was concerned that Leon might struggle.

"He was the one who injured you three? Alright. I got it!" Leon's expression darkened.

"What's wrong, kid? Scared?" When Seth saw the expression on Leon's face, he assumed that Leon was terrified by Floyd and smirked smugly.

He was in a duel with Leon in the Black Market and he could tell that Leon was in the Initial or Intermediate Overlord State at best.

Though he was hardly a match for Leon, it would be easy for Floyd, who was in the Advanced Overlord State, to defeat Leon.

The thought that Leon might win never crossed his mind because that seemed impossible.

"What?! How dare you?!"

Their expressions darkened in response to Leon's arrogant words; even Mason and the others were shocked as well.

Mason was worried that Leon might not win against Floyd and went through the length of warning him. Not only did Leon not listen to him, but he also attempted to provoke Seth and his bodyguards.

He could not fantom what gave Leon the confidence to be so reckless.

"I can take care of you myself, brat! I'll make you pay for your arrogance! Take this!" Floyd roared, before charging toward Leon.

"How puny! Know your place!" Leon scoffed and lunged forward with a punch.

"You'll die, brat!" Floyd narrowed his eyes viciously.

Since Leon was using his spiritual energy, Floyd could not detect which level Leon was on, but since Leon was only in his mid-twenties and his name was not widely known in the southern region, Floyd decided that Leon could not possibly be a skilled martial artist and was pleased that Leon decided to face him on.

Floyd strengthened his attack to eliminate Leon with a single blow.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1800

"Destroy him!’ Seth sneered viciously when he saw Leon running toward Floyd.

He knew that Leon was only in the Initial or Intermediate Overlord State, which was far from the Advanced Overlord State that Floyd was in.

If Leon kept dodging, he might be able to survive a while longer; the fact that Leon was foolish enough to face Floyd directly would cause him to suffer irreversible damage or die.

Just as Seth was absorbed into his fantasy, what happened next shook him to his core.

"Baam!”

Leon's spiritual energy tore through Floyd's true energy and the aftermath of Leon's attack reached Floyd's arm.

After remaining home to train for over half a month, Leon had gained tremendous progress and was one step away from reaching the Peak Foundation Phase, which was equivalent to the very top of the Advanced Overlord State and he would even stand a chance when fighting martial artists in the Peak Overlord State.

Since Floyd was only in the middle range of the Advanced Overlord State, he was hardly a match for Leon.

Without even using the Double Attack, Leon easily penetrated Floyd's defense and his energy reached Floyd's arm.

"Snap!"

Following the crisp sound of bones breaking, Floyd's arm was broken by Leon's attack.

He grunted in pain and backed away a few steps before finally being able to stop.

Leon was furious that Mason and the other two men were injured, so he did not stop and darted forward to seek revenge on Floyd for harming his subordinates.

"It's over!” Floyd gaped.

After witnessing the true extent of Leon's strength, Floyd dared not to face Leon directly and suppressed the pain in his arm to roll off the ground in an attempt of evading the attack.

However, Leon was far superior in terms of strength and speed.

Though Floyd reacted in time, he was incapable of escaping the range of Leon's attack and was sent flying by Leon's energy.

As soon as he landed on the ground, he spewed blood from his mouth from severe internal injuries.

"How's that possible?!" Seth and his other bodyguards rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

Seth, who thought that he knew the extent of Leon's power, did not think that Leon would stand a chance.

To his bewilderment, the result was far from what he anticipated.

Not only did Leon defeat Floyd with ease, but he also injured Floyd with two moves.

It was so far beyond his expectation that he would never believe it if he did not see it with his eyes.
