Ch. 2081..2090
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2081
"What? Do my ears deceive me? Did you just say you want to challenge me?" Leon could not believe his ears!
He was not the only one shocked by this; the audience was equally as stunned by Rodney's audacity!
None of them ever imagined that Rodney would have the audacity to challenge Leon to a duel instead!
This worked incredibly in Rodney's favor, the audience immediately shifted their attention onto the duel instead of the ring.
"No, you didn’t hear me wrongly! You're just a scaredy-cat that won't rise to the challenge!" Rodney declared with a contemptuous sneer.
This was the main reason he and his father attended the sales drive in the first place; to find an opportunity to challenge and bring down Leon!
Now, seeing that their plans to bring down Roanne failed, he decided to shift his attention to Leon instead!
Although he already witnessed Leon's true display of power before, he possessed a piece of Emperor Weapon that was more than capable of defeating Leon!
It would be perfect if he could seize this opportunity to defeat Leon once and for all!
"What do you mean, I won't rise to the challenge? Well, I
accept your challenge!" Leon sneered.
He and the Southern Boss never once saw eye-to-eye, not to mention the fact that the Southern Boss and Rodney ganged up against him multiple times before.
Leon could not understand how Rodney dared to challenge him to a public duel, but all he knew was that this was the perfect opportunity to not only teach Rodney a lesson but to avenge Roanne as well!
"What?" Angus and Yuri were both shocked to hear Leon accepting Rodney's duel.
"Please don't act rashly, Mister Wolf! Rodney is not an opponent to be underestimated, not to mention he possesses a piece secret weapon with him that's highly likely to be an Emperor Weapon! It's not sensible to fall for his trap!" Angus quickly tried to talk Leon out of this. Although he got to know Leon very well, he was yet to witness Leon in action before and thus was not sure of how powerful Leon was.
However, considering how young Leon was, he could make an educated guess that Leon was probably only at the Emperor State at most!
Rodney, on the other hand, was one of the Southern region’s youngest and brightest, and thus would not be an easy opponent!
Not to mention that Rodney was now in possession of an Emperor Weapon that managed to defeat even Roanne, who was already at the Intermediate Emperor State!
He was certain that Leon would not be able to put up a good fight against Rodney, and so it came as a shock to him to hear Leon accepting Rodney's challenge to a duel after some provocation!
There was no way he could allow Leon to go through with this!
"My father is right! Mister Wolf, I will gladly take your place! He ambushed Roanne just now, and he deserves to be punished for being a cheat," Yuri quickly piped up. He, like Angus, did not think that Leon would be a good match for Rodney at all.
However, it was different for him; Yuri was always a better and more powerful fighter than Rodney was, and although Rodney possessed an Emperor Weapon, Yuri was well aware that weapons like these were often limited to only three uses.
As long as he remained cautious during combat, he could easily outsmart and overpower Rodney!
"There's no need! Thank you for your concern, Uncle Angus, and Mister Thompson, but I'll be fine! It's just Rodney, after all! Don't worry, I promise that I'll do everything in my power to avenge Roanne's defeat!" Leon replied calmly, the determination on his face so apparent that no one could convince him otherwise.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2082
"Why are you whispering among yourselves, huh? You've already accepted my challenge, so it's too late to change your mind now, Leon!" Rodney snapped rather impatiently. He was worried that Leon would withdraw his acceptance to the duel!
"Don't worry. I've always been a man of my word and will never go back on my promises!" Leon scoffed. Then, without a moment's hesitation, he leaped onto the stage.
"Very well then! Remember, you asked for it!" Rodney cackled as he stepped into position to face Leon directly.
"Let's do this, Rodney!" a glimmer of malice flashed through the Southern Boss' eyes as he could not help admiring his son's courage to take on Leon in a duel.
He first heard of Leon Wolf from the Black Gorilla, and at that time, Leon was still at the Overlord State, but soon after that, when he encountered Leon again at Charlie's battle against Leon and the Scammells, Leon managed to attain the Emperor State with the help of his treasure!
He ascended to such power that he even managed to claim victory over two of the Martells' warriors who were already at the Intermediate Emperor State!
Because of this, the Southern Boss was still confused about the true extent of Leon's power, and thus it was perfect timing for Rodney to challenge Leon to a duel at this moment!
This was the perfect opportunity for all of them to get acquainted with Leon's power to prevent committing the same mistake of underestimating him again in the future!
Besides, Rodney was not only almost at the Intermediate Emperor State, but he even possessed an Almighty Weapon with him that largely exemplified his power, making him a truly outstanding opponent!
Not even Yuri, who was one of the youngest master martial artists in the region, would be a match for Rodney at this point, much less Leon!
He was certain that if Rodney were to strike at the right time, he could seize the opportunity to get rid of Leon once and for all!
"Oh no! It seems that Mister Wolf has acted far too impulsively this time," Angus and Yuri's expressions were dark, a stark contrast to the confident grin on the Southern Boss' face.
Although Leon proved to be an outstanding alchemist, his talent did not extend to martial arts at all, and he was a far cry from Rodney or even Yuri!
Not to mention that this time, Rodney had an Almighty Weapon to aid him, and it would be almost impossible for Leon to triumph over him!
Yet Leon chose to go against all ounces of rationality and accepted Rodney's challenge to a duel!
"Don't worry, Father, Yuri-Leon is incredible, and I'm sure that Rodney won't stand a chance against him!" Roanne tried to reassure them when she sensed their concerns. She was the only one amongst the Thompsons who witnessed Leon's true display of power during their encounter with Asmodeus!
Although she, too, was not too certain of Leon's power level, according to what she remembered about him, she was sure that he would be able to triumph even an Almighty Warrior, much less someone like Rodney!
"Well, we can only hope!" Angus sighed. He and Yuri both thought that Roanne was just trying to comfort them and thus did not take her words to heart.
However, they were not the only ones thinking this; the rest of the people watching all agreed that Leon was fighting a difficult battle.
Knowing that Rodney was one of the most talented young martial artists in the region, second only to Yuri, they were all certain that Leon would be no match for him at all!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2083
Meanwhile, onstage, Rodney turned to Leon with a look of disdain and said, "You can go first, Leon!"
Since Leon practiced the sage arts, Rodney, like his father, was not too sure of Leon's true extent of power and thus was trying to get Leon to attack first to gauge his power.
"I’d like you to go first so that you might have a fighting chance!" Leon scoffed, putting on a demeanor even more contemptuous than Rodney's.
"Very well then! You asked for this, and since you have a death wish, I'll gladly fulfill you!" Rodney snickered, utterly outraged by how cocky Leon was behaving. Then, without a moment's hesitation, he unleashed a surge of power and sent it barreling Leon's way!
However, since he was just trying to lure Leon into retaliating, he did not put much force into his first attack and did not even employ his secret weapon. Instead, he unleashed a few more attacks in Leon's way, intending to provoke Leon and make him reveal the true extent of his capabilities.
"Take this!" Leon scoffed as he stepped forward, unleashing a few attacks of retaliation that easily took Rodney on!
Now that he already attained the Initial Golden Core Phase in his sage arts training, this made him on par with the Intermediate Emperor State, and combined with the Mirror of Sovereign, he was able to establish a defense against attacks of even the Semi-Almighty State!
In conclusion, with his power and defense, he could have easily defeated Rodney right then and there, but that was not his intention at all!
Rodney cheated during his duel against Roanne with his secret weapon, and both he and the Southern Boss managed to pin all the blame onto Cynthion Group. Since Cynthion Group was yet to find a way to prove their innocence, Leon was determined to find a way to trick Rodney into revealing his secret weapon so that he could expose him in front of everyone!
Not only would doing so be able to prove Cynthion Group's innocence, but he would be able to avenge Roanne's defeat as well!
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
With that, Leon and Rodney continued to engage in an intense battle spanning almost dozens of attacks and counter-attacks!
"I can't believe that President Wolf managed to hold up so well against Mister Spears!"
"Could he have possibly attained the Emperor State as well?"
The audience was stunned by this sight. From what they knew, Yuri and Rodney were the only two youngsters who successfully attained the Emperor State at this point, and the rest of the descendants of major families, including Darius and Joel, were only at the Semi Emperor State at most!
They could not believe that a man with nothing under his name like Leon managed to also attain the Emperor State!
Apart from Roanne, whose true extent of power was yet to be determined, Leon would officially become the third member of the young generation in the Southern region to accomplish such a feat!
What was most astounding was the fact that Leon was even younger than Yuri or Rodney by at least three or four years!
With this in mind, it was safe to say that Leon was a far more talented martial artist than either of them, and this was a shocking revelation, to say the least!
The audience was not the only ones stunned by this realization; even Angus and Yuri's jaws dropped.
They all initially thought that Leon would be no match for Rodney at all, so it was beyond their wildest dreams to see Leon holding up against Rodney so well!
It was at this moment that they finally understood why Leon was so adamant to accept Rodney's challenge; it turned out that Leon was truly capable of taking up this challenge after all!
However, Rodney still had a secret weapon with him, and they were not too certain whether Leon could not put up a good fight should Rodney choose to unleash its powers!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2084
"Rats! I can’t believe how powerful Leon Wolf truly is!” the Southern Boss stared at Leon and Rodney onstage with a dark expression.
According to the Black Gorilla and Charlie's reports, he made Leon out to be an insignificant character from Springfield City, and thus never gave much thought to him at all!
However, it turned out that Leon did not only manage to establish a successful company like Cynthion Group, but he also possessed outstanding martial arts prowess and attained the Emperor State, which was not too far behind Rodney!
Leon had great potential in his future, and he was certain that if he did not find some way to get rid of Leon as soon as possible, it would be considerably harder for him to do so in the future!
Fortunately, luck was on his side, and this duel was the perfect opportunity for Rodney to do just that!
Although Leon and Rodney appeared to be equal matches in battle, he knew that Rodney was yet to employ his secret weapon, which was the ring he was wearing, and thus still stood a good chance of winning!
The ring Rodney was wearing was an Almighty Weapon that was capable of unleashing attacks on the Peak Emperor
State!
With such power, defeating Leon would be as easy as ABC!
At the thought of this, the Southern Boss grew even more certain of his malicious intent. He shot Rodney a meaningful glance, indicating for him to kill Leon at the first chance he got!
When he received the signal from his father, Rodney immediately understood his message. With that, he leaped backward, widening the gap between him and Leon, and paused in his footsteps.
"This ends here, Leon Wolf! I'll let you know once and for all what a foolish mistake it was to mess with the Spears!" Rodney scoffed as a glint of malice flashed through his eyes.
After their brief combat, he could vaguely tell that Leon's power was on par with his, which was the Initial Emperor State. Neither of them attained the Intermediate Emperor State yet!
Not only that, but he knew that Leon also possessed an Almighty Weapon on him, but with the misinformation Charlie gave him, Rodney naively thought that the Mirror of Sovereign was only capable of defenses against the Intermediate Emperor State!
Whereas he, on the other hand, possessed an Almighty Weapon that was capable of unleashing attacks of the Peak Emperor State, which was far more powerful than Leon's defenses could hold off!
It was clear who was going to be the winner in this case!
"Is that so? Well, come at me with everything you've got, then! I'd like to see you try!" Leon replied calmly. He could tell that Rodney was prepared to unleash his secret weapon now, and he waited for this moment since the beginning of their duel!
"Tsk, I can't believe how foolish you are up until this moment! Be prepared to die!" Rodney sneered. Then, without a moment's hesitation, he unleashed a surge of power straight toward Leon!
At the same time, he activated the ring and unleashed another gush of true energy at the same time, sending it barreling straight toward Leon at breakneck speed!
It was clear that Rodney pulled the same trick again; he chose to unleash the secret weapon's powers at the same time he did to prevent anyone from finding out what he did!
If everyone discovered that he cheated during his duel with Roanne, this would come back to bite him in the bum!
However, since he attempted to cover up the secret weapon with an attack of his own, it was inevitable that the true power of the secret weapon would be masked, but he was certain that it would be more than sufficient to take down Leon!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2085
"Finally!" Leon scoffed. Although it was for a split second, he still managed to sense that the ring Rodney was wearing belonged to the Peak Emperor State!
Since he was only at the Intermediate Almighty State, this meant that he was yet to harness the powers necessary to defeat any attacks of the Peak Emperor State!
Just as he was about to use the Mirror of Sovereign to defend himself, however, he recalled the sage techniques that he newly acquired!
With that, Leon changed his mind and decided to put his sage techniques to use!
"Take this!" he yelled as he stepped forward, channeling all his sage energy into his index finger and utilizing the Earthly Plunder, a method that belonged to the Advanced Power class.
A surge of power was unleashed from his index finger and sped straight toward Rodney at breakneck speed!
"Is Mister Wolf trying to counter Rodney's attack with one finger?"
"Has he gone insane?"
Angus and Yuri were all stunned by this sight. They, like Leon, managed to figure out that Rodney employed his secret weapon.
However, not only was Leon daring enough to take Rodney’s attack in stride, but he even dared to choose to do so with just one finger!
This was outrageous!
Angus and Yuri's hearts sank at this.
However, they were not the only ones dismayed by this; the audience was equally as gobsmacked by Leon's decision.
Although none of them could tell that Rodney's ring was an Almighty Weapon, they could still figure out that Leon and Rodney's combative abilities were on par with each other.
Now that Rodney chose to go all in, Leon was behaving very cockily and decided to counter Rodney's attack with just one finger!
This was the most foolish act any of them ever saw!
There was no doubt about it; Leon was going to pay the price for his arrogance!
"Very good! Let's take him down once and for all!" the Southern Boss burst into laughter as he cast Leon a look of disdain. He knew full well that Rodney employed his secret weapon, and since Leon was only at the Intermediate Emperor State, there was no way that Leon would be able to counter this, much less with just one finger!
Leon was as good as a piece of dead meat unless a miracle occurred by some chance!
However, what happened next shocked the Southern Boss to the core!
"Thud!"
With a deafening slam, Leon's Earthly Plunder slammed right into Rodney's attack, and, as everyone expected, Leon's entire body was propelled backward from the impact of Rodney's Almighty Weapon.
However, contrary to what all of them thought, Leon did not suffer any injuries from Rodney's attack at all.
"Die, you twat!" Rodney's face split apart into a triumphant grin. Then, without a moment's hesitation, he unleashed another attack in Leon's direction, intending to kill him once and for all!
However, this time, he did not even bother to conceal the ring's powerful energy and instead allowed it to leap right out in the open.
With that, a surge of Peak Emperor State energy gushed out from Rodney's ring and barreled straight toward Leon!
As for attempting to hide the truth from the audience; Rodney decided that it did not matter as much as killing Leon right on the spot!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2086
"Peak Emperor State?' "Hey, it turns out the ring Mister Spears is wearing is truly an Almighty Weapon after all, and one of the Peak Emperor State, no less!"
The audience gasped when they sensed the surge of energy from Rodney's finger and erupted into a flurry of activity.
Although Leon already accused Rodney of owning an Almighty Weapon before this, everyone took it with a grain of salt, considering that Leon had no concrete evidence. They were not sure whether Leon was telling the truth or whether he was just salty and trying to find excuses for Roanne's defeat!
Now, they all finally understood that Leon told the truth all along; Rodney managed to triumph over Roanne because he cheated by using an Almighty Weapon!
This was not a problem with Cynthion Group's alchemical pills after all; it turned out Rodney was just trying to frame and slander them!
Not only that but if Leon did not expose the truth, the consumers would have fallen victim to the Southern Boss and Rodney's scheme!
One could only imagine their rage at this realization!
"Rats! That Rodney Spears is a snake! This is outrageous!"
Angus and Yuri were outraged at this discovery but now was not the time to express their anger.
Leon was so arrogant as to counter Rodney's attack with just one finger and fell victim, to no surprise, but now, Rodney chose to follow up with another attack that would prove to be fatal!
Since Leon was only at the Intermediate Emperor State, there was no way he could defend himself against Rodney's attack, and if things went accordingly to Rodney's plan, there was no way Leon could survive this!
Angus wanted nothing more than to rescue Leon right then and there, but he was too far away from the stage that it was too late now.
"Thud!"
With a deafening bang, Rodney's attack slammed right into Leon's body.
However, Leon remained calm during this moment of urgency and managed to angle his body around so that the Mirror of Sovereign that was strapped to his chest could take the hit instead!
Unfortunately, since he was yet to get onto his feet from Rodney's first attack, although he managed to let the Mirror of Sovereign take the hit, he inevitably took the brunt of the impact and was propelled backward!
"Oh no! There's no way Mister Wolf can survive this now!"
Angus and Yuri's faces were ashen at this.
They were not the only ones in dismay about this; the rest of the descendants of the major families were equally as stunned.
They all witnessed Rodney’s attack striking Leon in the chest with their own two eyes, and were certain that there was no way Leon could make it out alive!
They all began to feel remorse at this, and could not help lamenting about the pity; Leon was certainly a talented young man with great potential in his future, but unfortunately, fell victim to Rodney's cruelty!
"Splendid, splendid! We've finally managed to get rid of him! " the Southern Boss, on the other hand, was overjoyed at this and felt the sudden urge to laugh.
Leon was their enemy for quite some time now, and the Spears longed to see him perish. As luck would have it, Rodney successfully defeated him once and for all!
One could only imagine his and Rodney's excitement over this victory!
However, what happened next shocked them to the core!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2087
"Tsk, I thought your secret weapon would be better than this, Rodney, but it turns out I was wrong!" all of a sudden, Leon stood up with a calm expression as he lightly patted the dust out of his clothes.
Since he allowed the Mirror of Sovereign to take the hit, he did not suffer any substantial injury at all despite having been propelled off the stage from the impact of Rodney's attack.
"What? How? How can this be?" the Southern Boss and Rodney were both so stunned by this that their eyes bulged out of their heads in utter shock.
The rest of the audience, even the Thompsons, were equally as astounded. They all turned to gape at Leon as he stood tall and proud, unable to believe their eyes!
They all thought that Leon suffered an inevitable death from Rodney's attack, and they never once thought that not only would he survive this, but would come out of this without so much as a scratch!
This was unbelievable!
None of them would have believed this to be possible if they did not witness it with their own two eyes!
"No, this, this can't be true!" Rodney was horrified by this. He knew that Leon had a defensive weapon with him, but he always thought that the weapon was only capable of
defending against attacks of the Intermediate Emperor State!
The ring he was wearing, on the other hand, was an Almighty Weapon of the Peak Emperor State and would have been capable of killing Leon as easily as ABC!
However, fate decided to play a cruel trick on him!
He could not wrap his head around how Leon managed to take on an attack of the Peak Emperor State with such ease!
"Well, you'd better start believing, Rodney! It's time for me to attack now, so take this!" Leon scoffed. Now that Rodney exposed his true colors and the truth of Roanne's defeat came to light, there was no longer any need to play it safe anymore.
With that, Leon leaped into the air and channeled his Earthly Plunder once more.
A surge of invisible energy gushed out of his finger and barreled straight toward Rodney!
"No—" Rodney's face was etched with horror. Although he possessed an Almighty Weapon with him, weapons like these were usually only capable of unleashing three attacks at a time.
Since he already used up all three attacks while dueling Roanne and Leon just now, he no longer had anything to fight against Leon with!
With that, he immediately lunged to one side, attempting to dodge Leon's attack!
Unfortunately for him, Leon's Earthly Plunder was so possible to the point where he could not dodge it at all, for it followed him like a shadow wherever he went!
However, he was still a member of the Initial Emperor State and was not too far off from Leon at all, and so at the last minute, he still managed to dodge Leon's attack by a few inches to the left, letting the Earthly Plunder catch him on his shoulder instead of his chest!
"Thud!"
With a deafening slam and a whimper of pain, the Earthly Plunder tore the flesh on Rodney's shoulder apart, leaving behind a deep and bloody wound.
His entire body was propelled backward and landed in a crumpled heap a few feet away, and a surge of pain shot through his chest as he bent over, spitting out two mouthfuls of blood. It was clear he suffered some serious injuries.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2088
"How dare you attack my son, Leon Wolf! I'll make you pay for this!" the Southern Boss bellowed as he watched Leon take down Rodney.
Then, he leaped onto the stage and sent a surge of power barreling straight toward Leon!
"Oh no!" Leon gasped in horror. Since he was only at the Intermediate Emperor State, whereas the Southern Boss was already at the Advanced Almighty State, it was safe to say that he was no match for the Southern Boss at all!
Without a moment's hesitation, he lunged backward in an attempt to dodge the Southern Boss' attack.
Unfortunately, he was not a match for the Southern Boss at all, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not seem to get out of his way.
At the last possible moment, however, Leon recalled another sage technique he learned—the Phantom Steps!
Then, without a moment's hesitation, he stepped forward and channeled the Phantom Steps, effectively dodging the Southern Boss' attack-although just barely-and left behind only a few wisps of his footsteps.
"Take this, you twat!” the Southern Boss shouted. His hatred of Leon was beginning to seep into his bones, and seeing that his attack failed once again, he sent another surge of power heading straight toward Leon!
"You shan't act so recklessly, Southern Boss!" someone shouted.
All of a sudden, Arthur and Alan leaped onto the stage and shielded Leon behind their bodies as they unleashed two surges of powerful energies in retaliation toward the Southern Boss!
With a deafening thud, the three energies slammed into each other!
Although the Southern Boss was already at the Advanced Almighty State, Arthur, and Alan were not to be messed with, especially Arthur; he was an Almighty Warrior of the Advanced Almighty State and was far more powerful than the Southern Boss.
There was no way the Southern Boss could match up against them especially since he was outnumbered!
He staggered backward from the impact before finally managing to catch himself from falling, but a metallic taste filled his mouth as a trickle of blood seeped out of the corner of his lips.
"What is the meaning of this, Arthur, Alan? Do you insist on crossing me on behalf of a nobody like Leon Wolf?" the Southern Boss asked with a cold look.
"Yes, we do! I've already told you that Mister Wolf has helped us tremendously in the past, and if you want him dead, you'd have to go through us first!" Alan replied.
"You! You'd better think twice about this, Old Hughes. After all, we Spears are not to be messed with! Leon injured my son, and so this is a personal vengeance between me and him, and has nothing to do with any of you at all! If you insist on sticking your nose into our business, I won't hesitate to give you a piece of my mind!" the Southern Boss threatened.
"Don't try to intimidate me, Southern Boss! It was your son who challenged Leon to a duel in the first place, and he shouldn't be a sore loser! However, you, as a member of the elite society, have chosen to pick on Leon for something that was well within reason for him to do! How shameless are you?" Alan snickered.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2089
"Alan is right! Southern Boss, Rodney cheated during his duel against Roanne, and you have to pay the price for that too! If you're going to use your powers to bully Leon, you'll have to go through me first!" Arthur scoffed. He did not forget about how miserably Roanne lost to Rodney just now!
However, considering that Leon already avenged Roanne by defeating Rodney just now, Arthur chose to let bygones be bygones instead of trying to stir up even more trouble!
However, since the Southern Boss chose to act disrespectfully, he would not stand by and watch while he picked on Leon like this!
"That's right! Southern Boss, I can't believe how you're acting, considering you're one of the most honored people in the region!"
"This behavior is absolutely unacceptable!"
The audience agreed with Arthur and Alan. Not only did the Southern Boss and Rodney attempt to slander Cynthion Group, they even wanted to bring down Leon along with it!
This was unacceptable, not to mention now the Southern Boss chose to pick on Leon!
Within minutes, the Southern Boss and Rodney officially became the laughingstock of the town and were utterly humiliated.
As for the Hiltons, Devon intended to step out and speak on behalf of the Southern Boss, but seeing how united the crowd was, he decided to shut up, lest the Hiltons get involved in this drama too!
"You!” The color drained from the Southern Boss' face at this point. Although the Spears were one of the most powerful families in the Southern region and did not care much for reputation, he could not possibly proceed anymore with everyone on Leon's side. Not to mention that Arthur and Alan were both willing to stick up for Leon; there was no way he could triumph in this situation!
"Very well then! Arthur, Alan, I will remember this, and we will one-day cross paths again!" the Southern Boss replied, trying to stifle his anger as best as he could. Then, he picked up a severely injured Rodney and leaped off the stage.
"We shall be off now!" he declared, scoffing. At this point, his plan to bring Leon down already failed miserably, and there was no longer any point in staying anymore!
With that, he led the rest of his men and made a hasty escape!
After a brief moment's hesitation, Devon and the rest of the Hiltons followed suit behind the Southern Boss' team of men!
"Finally some peace!" Leon watched from the stage with his hands behind his back as the Southern Boss and Devon left without a word. With his current power level in mind and the fact that he still had plenty of secret weapons with him, he was not at all afraid of the Southern Boss!
Not only that but when the Southern Boss attempted to attack him just now, Leon wanted nothing more than to unveil his secret weapons and use them to defeat the Southern Boss once and for all!
However, in consideration of the sales drive, he decided not to do so, not to mention the fact that he was not entirely sure if he could bring down the Southern Boss in one go!
Patience was a virtue, and at this point, he was not yet powerful enough to take on the Southern Boss and the Hiltons at the same time!
Not only that but since he was not a member of the Thompsons or even the Hughes, Leon was fairly certain that as much as Arthur and Alan wanted to protect him, they would never dare to cross the Southern Boss or the Hiltons for his skae!
In conclusion, now was not the time to take on these two opponents, and to do so would be a fool's act!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2090
Meanwhile, outside Cynthion Group headquarters, the Southern Boss' expression was dark as he lugged Rodney behind him, about to get into his car.
Devon and the rest of the Hiltons caught up with him." Please wait, Southern Boss!" Devon shouted after them.
"Can I help you, Mister Hiltons?" the Southern Boss asked.
"Truth be told, Southern Boss, that Leon Wolf fellow has also crossed us Hiltons once before. I intend to discuss with you the possibility of us working together to bring him down. I wonder if you'll be interested in that?" Devon explained his intentions.
Since Elegante Group was Hiltons Corporation's biggest competitor, the Hiltons had to find a way to bring down Leon for the sake of the family business!
Unfortunately, Leon was not an opponent to be underestimated, not to mention he had the Thompsons and the Hughes on his side too!
The Hiltons tried time and time again to bring him down, but their plans failed miserably every time!
As one would say, the enemy of one's enemy was one's friend; after knowing that the Southern Boss also did not see eye-to-eye with Leon, Devon was eager to recruit the Southern Boss into working together so that they could bring down Leon once and for all!
"Work together? There's no need for that! That twat is just a nameless little nobody, and it'll be as easy as squashing an ant for me to defeat him! I don't need to work alongside anybody!" the Southern Boss replied smugly. Although Leon had the Thompsons and the Hughes covering him, there was no way these two families could protect him forever!
There would be plenty of chances to bring Leon down again in the future!
Not only that, but Leon was only at the Emperor State, and he could easily overpower him!
The Southern Boss was known to be one of the most respected characters in the Gangster World, and he did not need anybody's help to bring down someone like Leon!
On the contrary, this would be humiliating if other people were to find out!
Besides, the only reason he wanted to get rid of Leon was to claim Cynthion Group as his own, but if he were to work alongside the Hiltons, he would be forced to split the shares with Devon once they succeeded!
There was no way the Southern Boss would agree to share his triumphs with someone else!
"Well, okay then! Since you're not willing to work together, we shant force you!" Devon replied after some thought. As powerful as Leon was, he was still a nameless nobody in this town, and there was no need for two powerful forces like the Hiltons and the Southern Boss to work together against this twat!
They overestimated Leon!
"Southern Boss, I do have to warn you about Leon's peculiar abilities; one can never accurately guess the true extent of his powers, and besides that, he also possesses some sort of treasure that can protect him against attacks of even the Peak Emperor State," Joel piped up rather hesitantly. He and Seth crossed paths with Leon many times now and fallen victim to him every single time.
By this point, both of them began to realize that the treasure Leon possessed was not only one of the Peak Emperor State, but it was likely to be at the Semi-Almighty State too!
Therefore, he wanted to remind the Southern Boss about this so that he and Rodney would have their guards up!
Not only that, but he was also secretly hoping that the Southern Boss could get rid of Leon once and for all since the Hiltons would greatly benefit from Leon's demise!
