Ch. 1961..1970
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1961
"With just you fools from the Hiltons? What a joke! Let's see if you can do anything for us!’ Angus sniffed, looking at Sebastian in disdain.
"Very well, you asked for this yourselves! Since that's the case, don't blame me for what happened!"
Sebastian let out a frustrated laugh. After that, he ordered the two elders," Show Angus the might of the Hiltons!"
"Yes!"
The two elders acknowledged the orders and walked out.
After that, the two of them unleashed their auras, and two waves of Almighty State's true energy surged out, immediately pushing down on Angus and the other Thompsons!
"Angus, you only have the Sixth with you as an Almighty State expert! Let's see what you can do to me!" Sebastian sneered as he adopted a look that seemed as if the Hiltons already had victory in their hands!
It also seemed to be the case!
Almighty State martial artists stood at the peak of the Southern region. They were unbeatable!
When it came to power, the Hiltons had two Almighty State experts with them, while the Thompsons only had one. It would be easy for them to win!
When it came to numbers, Angus did not even have twenty men with him, while the Hiltons and the Golans had at least double what the Thompsons had!
No matter how you looked at it, Angus' side did not seem to stand a chance at all!
Yet, before he could even finish his beautiful thoughts, something that shocked him happened at the next moment!
"Sebastian, who told you we only have one Almighty State martial artist with us? The Hiltons are still far from being able to compete against the Thompsons!" Angus scoffed.
After that, he spoke to the Sixth Uncle and two old men behind him, saying, "Uncle, we'll leave the Almighty State martial artists to you guys!"
"Yes!”
Then, the three old men quickly walked to the elders from the Hiltons, standing in front of them in an imposing manner!
Right after that, they unleashed their auras. Three waves of immense true energy flowed up, clashing firmly against the elders from the Hiltons!
"Three Almighty State martial artists?! How is this possible?!"
Sebastian, Eliam, and the others were shocked to feel the immense true energy coming out!
It was obvious that none of them expected Angus to have come prepared. He actually brought two Almighty State experts with him!
It caught them completely off guard!
"Sebastian, didn't you want to see who had more Almighty State martial artists? Let's see what else you have to say now!’ Angus said snidely.
The Thompsons stood at the top of the major families in the Southern region. Their power and influence was immense. They had over a dozen Almighty State experts!
He was worried that Hughes would be targeting Leon. So, for the sake of safety, he brought two Almighty State experts with him!
It was perfect!
The two Almighty State experts, alongside the Sixth Uncle, made three!
That was a powerful lineup. There was no way he would be afraid of the Hiltons and the Golans!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1962
"You!”
Sebastian looked uncertain, and his expression darkened.
He thought that Angus would only have the Sixth-Uncle on his side, so he thought victory was firmly in his hands!
Yet, he never would have dreamed that Angus brought two more Almighty State experts!
Since there were very few Almighty State martial artists in the Southern region, whether it was the Hiltons or the Thompsons, Almighty State experts were rarely mobilized!
He could not understand why Angus was so prepared to have brought three!
It was as if they specifically prepared for the Hiltons!
Did Angus have some ability of foresight?
Of course, he did not know Angus rushed over to the Scammells to stop the Hughes from doing something to Leon!
This was not because Angus had some ability of foresight. The Hilton was just incredibly unlucky!
"Sebastian, Almighty State martial artists are practically unbeatable in the Southern region! Right now, we have a three-to-two advantage. You don't have the right to go against us!" Angus sneered.
Even though Sebastian still had a lot of other experts from the Hiltons and the Golans other than the two elders, and looked like they had the number advantage, the Thompsons had one more expert at the Almighty State. It was enough to make up for the number's disadvantage!
In the end, when it came to overall power, the Thompsons were at an absolute advantage!
"Angus, what do you want?" Sebastian said with a dark look on his face.
"Sebastian, since the both of us are ancient martial arts families from the Southern region, I'll give you and the Golans a chance. As long as you sincerely apologize to Mister Wolf for this conflict, we won't pursue the matter! Otherwise, you'll suffer the consequences!" Angus said coldly with his hands behind his back.
It was not a good fight to take anyway!
Even though the Thompsons were at an advantage at this moment, the Hiltons and the Golans were not going to be easy to deal with. They were not that much weaker!
If the two sides did start to fight, even if the Thompsons would be able to win in the end, they would have to sacrifice a lot to do so!
It would do the Thompsons no good at all.
In the end, as long as the Hiltons and the Golans were willing to lower their heads and apologize to Leon, the matter would be settled there!
"Impossible!" Sebastian rejected it without any hesitation.
A few days ago, Sebastian was forced to apologize to the Elegante Group on behalf of the Hiltons Group out of desperation.
It harmed the Hiltons' reputation quite a bit!
If he was forced to apologize to Leon in public again, the Hiltons might end up becoming a laughing stock if word got out!
That was something he could not accept!
"Impossible? Then let's see who will come out on top!' Angus said coldly.
After that, he waved, and all the experts from the Thompsons started to fan out to surround Sebastian, Eliam, and the others.
The atmosphere between the two sides was incredibly tense. A battle was about to start!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1963
"You!"
Sebastian's face darkened completely when he saw that Angus was preparing to take action by force.
He knew very well that Angus had three Almighty State martial artists. They were the much stronger side!
If both sides started to fight each other, the Hiltons and the Golans would lose!
However, he was still set to inherit the Hiltons. There was no way he would lower his head to Leon!
He could not stomach the idea!
Just as he found himself in an incredibly difficult spot, they suddenly heard the frantic arrival of some cars. A few luxury cars arrived on the spot!
Right after that, the doors opened. Gordon and Dawn were with a dignified-looking old man. They also had over a dozen experts from the Hughes that walked out of the cars with them!
That dignified old man was Dawn's grandfather. The current head of the Hughes, Alan Hughes!
At that moment, Alan's face was completely furious. He was full of murderous intent, and he oozed a sense of danger. It caused anyone to look at him to shudder!
"Why are Elder Hughes and the family here?"
Sebastian, and Eliam were a bit shocked to see that. They looked uncertain.
Joel in particular seemed to think about something and understood the situation!
Seth told him before that Seth planned on notifying Gordon so Gordon would not fall to Leon!
However, it was stopped by Joel!
At the time, he hoped that Leon would cripple Gordon and anger the Hughes into attacking Leon!
Looking at Alan and the others arrive with such murderous intent, he vaguely guessed that his plan succeeded.
However, he was quite stunned to see Gordon standing next to Alan unharmed. He could not understand why Gordon was not crippled by Leon!
Just as Joel was thinking about that, Alan and the others walked over to Angus and the Thompsons before they stopped not too far away.
"Elder Hughes, it's been a while!" Angus' heart was beating rapidly. He had an uneasy feeling in his heart.
This time, he hurried over to the Scammells precisely because he was worried that the Hughes would end up attacking Leon!
At that moment, Alan let the experts from the Hughes over. He was not surprised at all.
Of course, the Thompsons and the Hguhes had a decent relationship with each other.
Alan was also the head of the Hughes, and was one of his seniors.
Even if he knew that Alan came with ill intentions, he still made sure to maintain a level of respect, greeting Alan.
"Angus, you came at the perfect time! That Leon brat killed my grandson, Darius. However, Yuri decided to protect him and save him! You Thompsons better give me an explanation for this. Otherwise, don't blame me for not treasuring our past relationships!" Alan said angrily, going straight to the point.
"What? Darius was killed by Leon?"
Hearing that, Joel and Seth were shocked, finally understanding why Alan was there!
The two of them already planned on giving up on Gordon and using Gordon as cannon fodder!
Yet, the two of them never expected that Gordon would be completely fine. Instead, it was somehow Darius that died at Leon's hands!
Was that not too unbelievable?
The two of them could not understand how Gordon pulled it off!
However, that was not important. The most important thing was that Darius was killed by Leon. There was no way the Hughes would let Leon off easily!
That way, they would be able to achieve their goals, and it would greatly exceed their expectations!
It was obvious how happy they were!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1964
"Alright, this is great! Leon killed Darius! The heavens are on our side!"
Just like Seth and Joel, Sebastian and Eliam were incredibly happy as well!
Earlier, Angus' side was much stronger, it caused the Hiltons and the Golans to feel hopeless!
Yet, after finding out that Leon killed Darius, their spirits were quickly lifted again!
Even though they did not know why Leon wanted to kill Darius, there was something they knew very well. The Hughes were one of the major families of the Southern region. They were incredibly strong and powerful!
This time, Alan even came here personally. On top of that, they had the Hiltons and the Golans!
No matter how strong Angus and his men were, there was no way they would be able to keep Leon safe!
If there were no surprises, Leon would be dying!
"Aelder Hughes, this is just a misunderstanding. Mister Wolf did not kill Darius, he was framed," Angus said in a hurry, trying to resolve the misunderstanding.
"Impossible! Leon killed my brother. I saw it myself! How could it be fake?!" Gordon hurriedly stepped forward to say that Leon did it.
"That's right! Leon did not only kill my brother, he even tried to kill my husband, Gordon, to silence any witnesses! If I did not arrive in time, even Gordon would probably have died!" Dawn said angrily. She helped Gordon speak up, pinning the blame completely on Leon!
"But..."
Angus opened his mouth, finding it hard to say anything.
Since he did not know that Leon already saved Darius, he just tried to explain things to Leon, he did not know what else to say.
"Angus, I don't want to listen to your nonsense! Have Yuri hand Leon over right now. Then, I won't pursue Yuri's responsibility! Otherwise, you'll suffer the consequences!" Alan said murderously. His voice was firm and resolved.
"Grandfather, Leon's the one in the wheelchair!" Gordon pointed right at Leon and hurriedly told Alan.
Back then, Leon said that he could save Darius, so Gordon was a bit worried.
However, looking at Leon being so frail in the wheelchair, there was no way he would have the ability to save Darius!
He felt like Darius was probably already dead!
With that in mind, he breathed a sigh of relief!
"Brat, so you're Leon! Hurry up and give yourself in. I have a score to settle with you!"
Alan was furious when he found out who Leon was!
He did not hesitate for a moment as he charged out with imperious force right at Leon!
"Wait..."
Leon was shocked. He tried to say that Darius was still alive, but his voice was too weak. Alan was too angry at that moment to listen to him!
However, Yuri reacted very quickly and hurriedly stood in front of Leon.
"Elder Hughes, please listen to me..."
Yuri just spoke up when Alan stopped him.
"Get lost!"
Alan was still furious about Yuri protecting and saving Leon. He shot out and planned on hitting Yuri aside.
However, before he could attack, Yuri's next words completely stunned him!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1965
"Elder Hughes, Darius is still alive," Yuri hurriedly said.
"What?" Alan was completely shocked to hear that. He immediately stopped in his tracks.
"Yuri, Darius isn't that? A-are you certain?" Alan was incredibly emotional when he heard that. He could not believe his ears!
"Yes, it's true! Darius was already saved by Mister Wolf just now. The poison in his body has also been cured," Yuri said with a nod.
"No, that's impossible!" Gordon looked like he was struck by lightning when he heard that!
When they were at the villa, both he and Dawn already checked and found that Darius was already not breathing anymore and that he did not have a pulse. He should already be dead!
Yet, Leon managed to cure Darius's poison and revived Darius!
It was a complete miracle!
It was obvious how shocked he was!
Not only that, Darius was poisoned by him. If Darius was saved by Leon, then nothing good would be waiting for him!
With that in mind, he could not help but panic. His heart suddenly froze over!
However, when he saw that Darius was not with Yuri and Leon, he seemed to understand something. His panicked expression quickly calmed down.
"Grandfather, don't listen to Yuri's nonsense! Darius is already dead. How could he come back from death?! On top of that, if Darius was saved, then why isn't he here? I think that Yuri must be trying to trick you to help Leon over it! They're just trying to confuse you. Don't fall for it!" Gordon said in a hurry.
"That's right! Grandfather, I checked on Darius before, he was already dead! I saw this for myself, there's no way it's fake!" Dawn agreed angrily, looking at Leon with hatred.
Seeing was believing!
She was there and personally saw that Darius was no longer breathing, and did not have a pulse. No matter what Yuri said, there was no way she would believe Yuri or Leon!
"That-"
Alan looked like a bucket of cold water was poured over him. He calmed down from his excited state.
Both sides were saying completely different things, and he did not know who to believe.
Of course, Dawn was his granddaughter, so he believed Dawn more.
However, he wanted what Yuri said to be true, and wanted Darius to be alive!
So, he was in no hurry to make a judgment!
"Yuri, since you said that Darius is alive, where is he? Why isn't he here?" Alan asked seriously.
"That-"
"Darius was heavily poisoned this time. His energy was greatly damaged, so he is still unconscious. However, Mister Wolf already said that he's probably going to wake up soon," Yuri explained simply.
"He hasn't woken up? Please, I knew you were trying to confuse my grandfather!" Gordon said with a sneer, finally relaxing.
"Yuri, it looks like you are full of lies! How dare you?!" Alan was furious.
If Darius was still not awake, then who would know if Leon did save Darius?!
He was not a child. There was no way he would believe that Darius was already back from the dead just from a few words from Darius!
On top of that, Gordon was there to steer his thoughts. He was already sure that Yuri was just trying to stall for reinforcements!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1966
"Elder Hughes, I'm not lying. I'm speaking the truth.'
Yuri never expected Alan to deny that Darius was already saved. He hurriedly tried to explain things, but Alan stopped him before he could continue.
"Yuri, I'm warning you. Move aside right now! Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing you mercy!" Alan said angrily.
After that, he no longer wasted any time as he charged forward with unrivaled force at Leon!
It was obvious that he was prepared to get rid of Leon in one strike to take revenge for Darius!
If Yuri dared to stop him, then Yuri would suffer the consequences!
"Elder Hughes, please calm down!"
Angus was shocked. He was worried that Alan would hurt Yuri and Leon.
After that, he hurriedly waved to the sixth and the other two Almighty State Combatants. Motioning for them to stop Alan.
"Elder Hughes, I'm sorry!”
The three of them understood the order, and all of them unleashed incredibly powerful attacks right at Alan, trying to
stop Alan from advancing!
"Very well! You asked for this!" Alan shouted out furiously.
He immediately switched up his attack, trying to fight the other three alone, and both sides were quickly locked in battle.
Looking at Alan attacking, the other experts from the Hughes advanced immediately as well. They spread out as they prepared to face the THompsons!
The moment Alan or Dawn issued the order, they would not hesitate to attack Angus and the other Thompsons!
Suddenly both sides had a tense atmosphere between them. A battle was about to erupt!
"Hiltons, Golans, listen up, prepare to attack!" Sebastian immediately took the chance to issue the order.
They would try and take advantage of the situation!
The moment the Hughes and the Thompsons started to fight, the Hiltons and the Golans would be able to take advantage of it!
That was not all, Alan was personally leading the Hughes this time. They could only be stronger than Angus and the Thompsons!
With the help of the Hiltons and the Golans, it would be incredibly easy to kill Leon and defeat Angus!
It was a golden opportunity!
Yet, before he could even finish his thoughts, something happened!
"Stop!"
At that moment, a weak voice was suddenly heard. Darius was helped by two guards from the Thompsons out of the inner yard.
"Darius?"
Alan was shocked at Darius's appearance. He could not believe his eyes!
Right after that, he quickly reacted. He immediately shot toward Darius.
The three experts from the Thompsons were just there to stop Alan from hurting Yuri and Leon. They had no reason to continue fighting Alan, and let Alan rush to Darius.
"Darius, it's you! Are you alright?"
When he got closer, Alan was incredibly emotional. He grabbed Darius's arms and looked at the man, wondering if he was dreaming!
"I'm fine!”
Darius shook his head. Other than his voice and body being weaker than usual, he seemed fine.
"That is great!" Alan hugged Darius emotionally. He immediately started to laugh as the dark look on his face was completely lifted!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1967
"H-How's this possible?!"
In contrast to Alan's emotional response, Gordon, who was behind, was completely stunned and stiff!
He thought that Darius was already assuredly dead!
Yet, he never would have expected that Darius would have returned from the grave!
Was that not too unbelievable?
It was obvious how shocked he was!
Of course, he was not the only one who was shocked. Sebastian, Eliam, and the others were the same. They were so shocked their jaws almost fell on the ground!
Earlier, looking at how the Hughes and the Thompsons were about to fight each other, they thought that they would be able to take advantage of the situation!
Yet, Darius, who was supposed to have been killed by Leon, miraculously returned from the dead at the most important moment!
It foiled all their plans!
The hope that ignited in their hearts was extinguished without any mercy!
"Darius, so what Yuri said was true! You have been saved!"
Dawn was ecstatic when she saw that Darius was safe and sound. That earlier anger and hatred she seemed to have completely disappeared!
Right after that, she hurriedly let the experts from the Hughes over toward Alan and Darius!
Only Gordon was left there. He stood in place unmoving!
However, with Dawn and the others leaving toward Darius, he quickly snapped back to reality!
With Darius back from the dead, it was obvious to him that nothing good would be waiting for him!
With that in mind, there was no way he would stay behind!
So, while everyone was distracted, he suddenly started to run away. He frantically ran toward his car, preparing to drive away!
Only by leaving would he be able to escape. At worst, he could just change his name and leave the Southern region!
It was far better than dying!
"Grandfather, hurry up and capture Gordon. Don't let him run away..." Darius said with a cough. He was incredibly angered when he saw what Gordon was doing.
However, he was too emotional and his body was too weak. Before he could finish explaining, he had a coughing fit.
"What?" Alan looked a bit uncertain at those words.
Since he did not know that Gordon was the one who poisoned Darius, he was a bit confused. He could not understand what Darius was saying.
Thankfully, Yuri reacted very quickly. He already heard about Gordon from Leon, so he immediately focused on Gordon!
Looking at Gordon trying to run away, there was no way he would allow it!
"Gordon, you despicable and sinister man! Don't even try to run!" Yuri shouted out. With a twist, he quickly ran after the fleeing Gordon.
After that, he struck out with imperious force at Gordon's back!
"No..."
Gordon looked shocked.
He was only in the intermediate Overlord State, while Yuri was already in the intermediate Emperor State. Yuri was far stronger than he was!
He was no match for Yuri at all!
With danger looming, he turned and tried to avoid Yuri's attack!
However, he was just too much weaker and slower than Yuri. Even though he quickly tried to avoid the attack, he failed to completely escape that strike!
With a loud explosion, he was sent flying by Yuri. He slammed into one of the cars in front before he slumped to the ground.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1968
Taking the chance, Yuri shot forward and quickly arrived next to Gordon.
After that, he grabbed Gordon and lifted him from the ground.
Right after that, he dragged Gordon right in front of Alan, Darius, and the others before throwing Gordon onto the ground.
"Darius, I've captured this despicable man for you. Deal with him as you please!" Yuri said.
"Yes, alright," Darius answered, relaxing a lot more.
"Darius, what's happening?" Alan asked with uncertainty.
"Grandfather, it's like this. Gordon caught me off guard and attacked me with a poisoned needle. Thankfully, Mister Wolf is incredibly skilled at medicine. He cured the poison and saved my life," Darius spoke with intense anger. He resisted how weak his body felt as he explained everything briefly.
Back when Yuri left the room, Yuri left two guards behind to take care of the unconscious Darius.
After he woke up, he immediately asked the guards about the situation.
Among that was how Leon was framed and blamed for poisoning him, as well as how Leon put in so much to cure him!
The two guards told him everything peacefully!
So, he quickly realized that the Hughes would probably try to attack Leon for this misunderstanding!
So, he was forced to ignore how weak his body was as he hurried out with the help of the guards from the Thompsons!
Just as he expected, Alan was already attacking the Thompsons to take revenge for him!
Thankfully, he appeared on time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been dire if the matter got bigger!
"What? The culprit is Gordon?!"
Alan was furious when he heard that!
He thought that Leon was the culprit the whole time!
Yet, the true culprit was Gordon!
That was not all, Leon was framed, but he did not hate the Hughes for it. Instead, he spared no effort in trying to save Darius!
Yet, Alan believed Gordon's lies and almost killed Leon. It was a grave error!
If Leon died at his hands, then the Hughes would have been ruined in the Southern region for doing something so dishonorable!
"Darius, are you mistaken? Gordon is your brother-in-law. Why would he harm you?"
Darn was full of disbelief, in contrast to Alan.
Even though Leon and Darius both agreed that Gordon was the assailant, Gordon was still her husband!
She found it hard to believe that Gordon would poison Darius. She could not accept it at all!
"Dawn, what are you saying?! How could I be mistaken with something like this?! You sure are something else. You started to accuse Mister Wolf without finding things out. You almost killed me and Mister Wolf!" Darius said unhappily.
He found out from the two guards that Leon constantly said that Gordon was the culprit.
Yet, Dawn did not believe him. Instead, Dawn even ordered Lucius to attack Leon and kill him!
Thankfully, Leon did not let Dawn get to him. He took Darius away from Dawn and saved Darius with his amazing medical abilities!
Otherwise, Darius would probably have already died!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1969
Dawn was rendered speechless.
She knew that Darius was right. If Gordon was the culprit, then she ended up trying to hurt Leon when Leon was helping them. She even almost caused Darius to die!
Then, she would have committed a huge error!
"Crap!"
Gordon's face paled when he saw that everything was failing. He knew that it would be impossible for him to turn things around.
After that, he hurriedly scrambled up from the ground and knelt in front of Alan, "Grandfather, this is all my fault, but I didn't try to do anything to Darius on purpose. Please spare me this one time since he's safe and sound," Gordon said, frantically trying to plead for mercy. He looked incredibly sincere as he apologized.
He knew that he was still married to Dawn in the end. Since Darius was already spared, then Alan might show him mercy on account of their relationship if he admitted to his faults sincerely!
"Spare you? Do you think that's possible?! Gordon, Darius is your brother-in-law. You dared to poison him. Are you even human?! I'll kill you, you wretched animal. You don't belong in the family!" Alan was furious.
After that, with a wave of his hand, a wave of incredibly powerful true energy immediately shot at Gordon!
Bang!
Gordon did not even have the chance to react as his body was sent flying why Alan before he slammed onto the ground heavily?
When he landed, Gordon immediately spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. Many bones in his body were broken, and he was left lying down on the ground. He did not even have the strength to climb up.
"Gordon, just die!” Alan said coldly as he walked toward Gordon.
No matter what he said, Gordon was still his grandson-inlaw. Earlier, he held back a little due to that relationship, not killing Gordon right away.
However, thinking about how Darius was almost killed, he quickly made his decision!
Gordon was just too vile and sinister of a man. If he spared Gordon, it was very possible that Gordon would be a problem that would fester into a disaster for the Hughes!
With that in mind, he immediately decided to kill Gordon!
"No!"
Gordon looked shocked.
After that, he seemed to think about something as he crawled overt© Dawn and started to frantically beg her," Dawn, I know what I did wrong now. Please save me. Help me ask Grandfather for mercy. Ask him to spare me!"
"That-"
Dawn looked uncertain.
With how Gordon almost killed Darius, she was still incredibly angered by Gordon's evil actions.
However, Gordon was still her husband. It was hard for her to just watch as Gordon was killed right in front of her!
The next moment, she immediately rushed to Alan and knelt in front of him, "Grandfather, Gordon already knows what he did wrong. Please give Gordon a chance to turn over a new leaf since Darius is safe and sound," Dawn hurriedly pleaded.
"Impossible! Dawn, are you crazy? Gordon poisoned your brother, and you're still trying to help him? Are you just trying to get me angry?!" Alan shouted.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1970
"I know!" "But Gordon is still my husband in the end. What will I do in the future if you kill him?" Dawn said with reddened eyes. Tears started to fall.
"Dawn, listen to me. Gordon is an incredibly vile and evil man. He's not worthy of you at all! He dared to poison me this time. I n the future, he might end up harming you just for the sake of his benefits. He might even end up harming the whole family! In the end, with how powerful our family is and how amazing you are, you won't have a difficult time finding a new husband without him! You don't have to cry for someone like him. He's not worth it!" Darius said weakly.
"Yes, Darius is right! Someone like Gordon will only bring disaster if we keep him around. You never know what he's thinking! Whether it's for the sake of your future or the sake of the family, I have to kill him today!" Alan said with murderous intent. His tone was very firm, leaving no room for doubt!
"But-"
Dawn was still reluctant to give up. However, before he could say anything, Alan interrupted him!
"There is nothing else to talk about! Men, bring Dawn away!" Alan coldly said to the experts from the Hughes.
"Yes!"
A few of the experts acknowledged the order. Two of them walked forward and pulled Dawn away.
"How could this be?"
Seeing as Dawn's pleading was useless, Gordon felt despair. His heart immediately sank.
However, when he saw Joel, who was standing not far away, he suddenly felt some hope in his heart!
"Mister Hiltons, please help me!"
Gordon hurriedly asked Joel for help.
He knew that the Hiltons were one of the major families in the Southern region. They were very comparable to the Hughes!
As long as Joel and the Hiltons were willing to protect him, he would still stand a chance!
"That-"
Joel's heart skipped a beat.
He did not expect Gordon to ask him for help. It caught him by surprise.
However, Seth and him already decided to give up on Gordon!
Gordon trying to poison Darius already deeply angered the Hughes!
He had no reason to make an enemy of the Hughes for
someone as insignificant as Gordon!
He was not that stupid!
So, he looked away, acting like he did not hear Gorodn at all!
"You-"
Gordon looked like he had a bucket of cold water poured over him when he saw that Joel was not going to help. He lost all hope!
He finally understood that he was probably discarded by Joel!
Suddenly, he felt like the sliver of hope he had just now was completely extinguished!
"Gordon, no one can save you today! Just accept your death! " Alan said angrily.
After that, he no longer wasted anytime as he raised his hand and aimed it at Gordon's head, slamming it down without any mercy!
"Grandfather, wait!"
"I still have something to say. I was ordered by someone else," Gordon said in a hurry when he realized that his life was in danger. He tried to make one last struggle.
"What? Who was the one that ordered you?" Alan was shocked to hear that. His fist stopped in the air.
"It's Joel! He was the one who ordered me and Seth to attack Iris and Snow. I was just blinded by him, and that led to me poisoning Darius!"
Gordon said viciously. After that, he explained the situation.
He was always a petty person. Since Joel was not going to help him, he started to hate Joel!
Since Joel was not going to be honorable, he would not be either!
