The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2191

Upon sensing the attack from his back, Leon immediately turned around, but it was too late. He was unable to dodge or counter the attack. In the end, he could only receive the blow with his Mirror of Sovereign.

Following a deafening sound, the Scarlet Thief's attack slammed against Leon's chest, but Leon remained standing. Scarlet Thief had anticipated that.

His goal was to exhaust the charges of Leon's defensive tool so that Leon would be left defenseless. Hence, he was not disheartened by his inability to injure Leon.

"This is the second time! One last time!" The Scarlet Thief backed away to distance himself from Leon to prevent Leon from striking.

Leon had used his defensive tool once earlier and done so once more to take a direct blow from the Scarlet Thief.

Most treasures were restricted by how frequently they could be used, and most could only be used up to three times in one go.

The Scarlet Thief knew that there was a high chance that Leon's defensive tool could only be used one last time.

Since Leon was in the Semi-Almighty State, the Scarlet Thief was far superior in terms of speed and explosive power, which meant that it would be easy for the Scarlet Thief to exhaust the charges of Leon’s defensive tool.

So long as he managed to break Leon's defense, he would be able to eliminate Leon, Henry, and Chandler with ease.

Just as the Scarlet Thief thought that he had everything planned, what happened next shook him to his core.

"It's too late for you to back away! Take this! Earthly Plunder! ' Leon scoffed and took a step forward when the Scarlet Thief backed away.

He swiftly caught up to the Scarlet Thief with Phantom Steps with incredible speed before gathering all his energy to the tip of his finger to launch the Earthly Plunder.

"What?! Impossible!" The Scarlet Thief was stunned.

He thought that Leon was inferior in terms of speed and explosive power, and that was the reason why he showed no fear toward Leon's defensive tool so far.

To his bewilderment, Leon's speed accelerated by a few folds. No matter where he went, Leon's attack followed him like his shadow.

As Leon closed the distance between them, the Scarlet Thief realized that it was impossible for him to get away.

Leon's speed had surpassed his and might have reached the level of the Advanced Almighty State.

It was so surreal that the Scarlet Thief could not believe what he was seeing.

Cornered by Leon's incredible speed, the Scarlet Thief launched a hasty counterattack in an attempt to nullify Leon's Earthly Plunder.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2192

Leon's Earthly Plunder and the Scarlet Thief's attack clashed with a loud bang.

Since it was a hasty move, the Scarlet Thiefs attack was not at full power, and Leon's Earthly Plunder instantly tore through his true energy. The aftermath of Leon's attack slammed hard against the Scarlet Thief's shoulder, leaving an extremely deep wound behind.

The Scarlet Thief grunted in pain and backed away before collapsing onto the ground.

"Mister Wolf defeated the Scarlet Thief again!"

"Are... are we dreaming?"

Henry and Chandler were stunned.

Like the Scarlet Thief, they had thought that Leon was far too weak to rival the Scarlet Thief even with his defensive tool because he would fall short in terms of speed and explosive power.

Much to their surprise, Leon managed to defeat the Scarlet Thief in terms of speed without relying on his defensive tool.

It would be considered a coincidence if Leon managed to pull it off once, but managing to do it twice would mean that Leon truly had the capability to defeat the Scarlet Thief.

The two instantly realized that Leon was far more formidable than they originally believed, and they had simply been underestimating him.

"How can this be..." The Scarlet Thief held his shoulder and scrambled up from the ground with a dark expression.

He thought that he could take advantage of his superior speed to break down Leon's defense and kill Leon, Henry, and Chandler with ease. However, reality had proved him wrong. He could not understand how Leon managed to increase his speed in such a short period of time to surpass him, who was in the Intermediate Almighty State.

'Can it be that Leon is in the Advanced Almighty State? But... that's impossible!' The Scarlet Thief thought.

Leon was only in his mid-twenties, and it was already inconceivable for him to reach the Semi-Almighty State. The Scarlet Thief refused to believe that Leon might be in the Advanced Almighty State as it was just unimaginable.

"Scarlet Thief, you've committed unspeakable crimes and deserve to die a thousand times for what you've done! I shall rid the world of you today! Prepare to die!" Leon scoffed.

Leon darted forward and launched another attack at the Scarlet Thief with lightning speed.

"Don't get all smug just yet, you brat! If one of us has to die today, it’ll be you! Take this! Fiery Serpent!" The Scarlet Thief roared viciously.

Leon's speed could not be rivaled, so the Scarlet Thief stopped dodging and launched his martial technique, Fiery Serpent. His true energy transformed into the form of a fire dragon that charged toward Leon.

Leon had used his defensive tool twice. The Scarlet Thief was certain that Leon only had one last chance to use it!

Though he was clueless as to how Leon managed to move so swiftly, he knew that it was impossible for someone of Leon's age to reach the Advanced Almighty State.

He believed that he would be able to defeat Leon with ease once he exhausted the power of Leon's defensive tool.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2193

With a loud bang, their attacks clashed as the Scarlet Thief had originally predicted. Leon was inferior in terms of power level, so the Fiery Serpent instantly tore through Leon's attack and slammed toward him.

Leon simply angled his body so that he could receive the attack with the Mirror of Sovereign as before. At the same time, he launched a Double Attack with his true energy in the Intermediate Overlord State at the Scarlet Thief.

"I knew it!” After encountering a similar situation earlier, the Scarlet Thief was prepared and did not attack with full force. Hence, he managed to withdraw his energy and retreat as soon as Leon launched the Double Attack.

Unfortunately, while the Scarlet Thief acted swiftly, Leon was much quicker.

Leon took a huge step forward and darted toward the Scarlet Thief like a stream of smoke using the Phantom Steps as he continued to blast the Scarlet Thief with the Double Attack.

’Damn it!" The Scarlet Thief's expression darkened.

At the very last moment, he gritted his teeth and protected his chest from getting hit, only for Leon's attack to slam hard against his shoulder.

Following the loud sound of bones cracking, the Scarlet Thief grunted and paled. The bones on his shoulder were completely shattered, and he was instantly sent flying into the distance.

"Good! That should be the last time he can use that defensive tool!" The Scarlet Thief stood up and burst out laughing despite the pain in his shoulder.

After the previous exchange, he was certain that Leon had already used the defensive tool three times in a row. If he was not mistaken, the tool could no longer be used anytime soon. Thus Leon would be rendered powerless.

Brat, it's my turn now! Die!" The Scarlet Thief sneered and narrowed his eyes maliciously.

Leon had injured and shattered the bones in his shoulder, costing him the mobility of his arm, so he desperately wanted to rip Leon apart.

Since Leon has depleted the uses of his defensive tool, the Scarlet Thief saw this as the best chance for him to retaliate.a

Without any hesitation, the Scarlet Thief launched the Fiery Serpent again at Leon with the intention of killing him in a single blow.

"Know your place!" Leon bellowed.

The Scarlet Thief taking the initiative to attack was exactly what Leon wanted.

Leon stepped forward and launched his Earthly Plunder to counter the Scarlet Thief s Fiery Serpent.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2194

"Oh, no! Mister Wolf's defensive tool can't be used anymore!"

"Can he fend off the Scarlet Thief s Platinum Martial Technique?"

Henry’s and Chandler's hearts sank at the sight as they thought that Leon's defensive tool was exhausted.

They were worried that Leon would be defeated. They could not bear to imagine what would become of them should that happen.

Die, brat!" The Scarlet Thief narrowed his eyes.

Without the help of his defensive tool, Leon would be digging his own grave to face the Scarlet Thief directly.

The Scarlet Thief increased the power of his attack, aiming to eliminate Leon with one blow.

While he was absorbed in his fantasy of finally defeating Leon, his Fiery Serpent tore through Leon's attack and charged toward Leon's chest, which Leon blocked with the Mirror of Sovereign.

The Scarlet Thief was certain that Leon's defensive tool was no longer working, so he did not hesitate to strengthen his attack.

"You will die today, brat!" The Scarlet Thief sneered as his heart filled with triumphant joy.

If everything went as planned. The Scarlet Thief would be able to kill Leon on the spot by striking him in the chest while he lost the protection of the defensive tool.

Just as he grinned smugly, what happened next shook him to his core.

With a loud bang, Leon took the blow directly to his chest and remained unwavering.

"What? How is this possible?" The Scarlet Thief widened his eyes in disbelief.

He was certain that Leon had exhausted the uses of the defensive tool. Leon should not be able to fend off his attack. However, to his surprise, Leon managed to use the defensive tool once more. The Scarlet Thief was utterly shocked.

What the Scarlet Thief did not know was that the Mirror of Sovereign Leon owned was a super treasure with unlimited uses. Leon's victory was decided right from the start, as the Scarlet Thief was destined to fail in breaking through Leon's defense.

"Scarlet Thief, you're the one who's going to die! I'll send you on your way now!" Leon scoffed.

Taking advantage of the Scarlet Thiefs momentum, Leon threw a punch with incredible force at the Scarlet Thief’s chest.

No...!" Terrified, the Scarlet Thiefs blood ran cold as he was incapable of dodging the attack.

Leon's speed was unrivaled. Even if given the chance, the Scarlet Thief knew that he would be struck.

Before he could react, Leon sent him flying with a bang.

The Scarlet Thief coughed up mouthfuls of blood as agonizing pain tore through his chest. Numerous bones in his body were shattered by the attack, and the damage he suffered was irreversible.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2195

"Wow! Who would've thought that someone as young as Mister Wolf would defeat the Scarlet Thief, who ranks fourth place on the criminal list?"

"Unbelievable!"

Both Henry and Chandler were overjoyed and excited beyond words.

Leon had mentioned that he would eliminate the Scarlet Thief repeatedly, but they had all thought that Leon only said such a thing because he had yet to see what the Scarlet Thief was capable of.

It was at this moment that Henry and Chandler finally realized that Leon meant every word he said.

It was a miracle that Leon, a young man in his mid-twenties, managed to defeat the Scarlet Thief, who was in the Intermediate Almighty State, repeatedly.

Had they not witnessed the fight with their own eyes, they would never believe this to be possible.

"How is this possible..." The Scarlet Thief struggled to get up. The smugness on his face disappeared without a trace as pain coursed through his body.

He could not wrap his mind around how Leon managed to fend off his attack even after exhausting the limits of the defensive tool.

"Could it be that... he really is in the Advanced Almighty State?!" The Scarlet Thief mumbled in realization and paled in terror.

After Leon showcased his inhuman speed, the Scarlet Thief wondered if Leon was in the Advanced Almighty State. However, Leon seemed way too young to make such an accomplishment, so he cast the thought aside almost immediately.

To his surprise, not only had Loen remained completely unscathed, but he had managed to destroy the Scarlet Thiefs arm before injuring him severely.

Everything pointed to the conclusion that Leon had surpassed the Scarlet Thief in overall strength and could very well be at a higher power level than the Scarlet Thief.

The Scarlet Thief came to realize that Leon might actually be in the Advanced Almighty State and had merely been acting weak to toy with him. Otherwise, he would never lose so completely.

"Take this, Scarlet Thief!" Leon did not stop and launched yet another powerful strike at the Scarlet Thief.

"I'll remember this, brat! Just you wait! I'll make you pay for this someday!" The Scarlet Thief roared viciously.

The Scarlet Thief knew better than to stubbornly remain in a situation where he had no chance of winning.

He had mistaken that Leon was in the Advanced Almighty State. Since he was deeply injured, he dared not fight Leon any longer as he knew he would die if he stayed.

The Scarlet Thief valued his life more than anything else. Hence, he leaped into the woods behind him without hesitation to escape, using the trees and steep landscape as his cover.

"You won't get away so easily!" Leon sneered and darted forward with the Phantom Steps, catching up to the Scarlet Thief with such incredible speed that his figure turned into a blur.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2196

Leon ran after the Scarlet Thief while retrieving a Spirit Nurturing Pill to ingest.

Though Leon managed to ingest the Spirit Nurturing Pill, he suffered a significant loss of spiritual energy from the use of Earthly Plunder and Phantom Steps repeatedly. Because of that, his speed dropped significantly.

The Scarlet Thief, on the other hand, was running at full speed. Hence Leon failed to catch up to him.

Since they were at Chandler's place, they were surrounded by trees as far as the eyes could see.

The Scarlet Thief arrived before a forest within a blink of an eye.

"Good!" His face lit up at the sight, and he relaxed immediately.

He knew that he would be able to shake Leon off if he managed to run into the forest, utilizing its complicated terrain and trees as his shield. By then, it would be impossible for Leon to catch up to him.

Just as he was contemplating his escape, what happened next turned the table against him.

Leon flung his arm in the air, sending three small daggers flying toward the Scarlet Thief s back.

"What?! Are those... poison daggers?" The Scarlet Thief turned around and was instantly terrified.

The Southern Boss hired him to eliminate Leon and informed him ahead of time that Leon possessed poison daggers capable of killing a man in moments.

The Southern Boss had warned the Scarlet Thief in advance. When the Scarlet Thief saw the blue glow on those daggers, he instantly came to the conclusion that the daggers were poisoned.

Not daring to take them lightly, he immediately paused and moved to dodge the daggers.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, Leon leaped into the air and landed on the ground right in front of the Scarlet Thief to cut him off.

"Die, Scarlet Thief!" Leon shouted as he charged toward the Scarlet Thief.

"Damn it!" The Scarlet Thief paled, frustrated that Leon managed to stop him right before he was about to escape into the woods.

However, there was no time for him to feel frustrated as Leon's overall strength was above his. On top of that, he was severely injured, and it was impossible for him to defend himself from Leon, so he dared not take Leon’s attack directly.

Without hesitation, he turned and tried running in the opposite direction.

"Henry, Chandler, stop the Scarlet Thief! Don't let him get away!" Leon commanded before taking off to catch up with the Scarlet Thief as well.

"Yes!" Henry and Chandler snapped out of their daze.

"Scarlet Thief, you killed our family! Today, we're going to make you pay!" They roared through gritted teeth and glared at the Scarlet Thief with hatred boiling in their eyes.

Since the Scarlet Thief was severely injured, that was their best chance to take revenge, and they were not about to let the Scarlet Thief escape.

They both launched their best attack from left and right at the Scarlet Thief while Leon charged toward him from the back.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2197

"It's over..." The Scarlet Thief despaired.

Henry and Chandler were in his way, and Leon was charging at him from behind, which meant that all ways of escaping had been blocked and escape was impossible.

However, as one of the most notorious men on the criminal list, he was not someone who would simply wait to be killed without fighting back.

Henry, Chandler, you two asked for this! Even if I'm destined to die today, I'm taking the two of you with me! Take this! Fiery Serpent!"

The Scarlet Thief ignored Leon and launched his best attack, the Fiery Serpent.

The true energy around his fist transformed into the shape of a dragon and was sent toward Henry and Chandler in a flash.

Bring it on, Scarlet Thief!" Henry and Chandler gritted their teeth and faced the attack bravely with all their might.

They both knew that the Scarlet Thief was far more powerful than they were. Although they might not be his match if they chose to face him directly, they had no other choice, as their formation with Leon would be ruined if they moved to dodge the Scarlet Thief's attack. Should that happen, the Scarlet Thief would have a chance to escape.

Considering what the Scaled Thief had done to them in the past, they would rather die than give him a chance to escape.

"Come on! Let us settle this once and for all!" The Scarlet Thief sneered, his face twisting with fearful determination.

He knew that it was unlikely for him to get away, so he gave up entirely, deciding to kill Henry and Chandler before his demise.

The Scarlet Thief resented Leon the most out of the trio, but Leon was far too strong, and he could not even break through Leon's defense, so it would be impossible for him to injure Leon. Hence, he could only vent his anger on Henry and Chandler instead.

Following a deafening sound, the Scarlet Thief's Fiery Serpent clashed with the energies released by Henry and Chandler.

Henry and Chandler were powerless before the attack and flew into the distance.

Thankfully, the Scarlet Thief was severely injured, and his attack was no longer as powerful. Thus, it only managed to send the two flying without actually causing any severe damage to them.

"Die, you two!" The Scarlet Thief sneered and launched yet another Fiery Serpent at Henry and Chandler, who were still on the ground, in hopes of killing them with a single blow.

Henry reacted swiftly and got up to back away, narrowly escaping the Scarlet Thief’s attack.

Chandler, on the other hand, was not as lucky.

Due to his handicapped leg, the Scarlet Thief's attack was already right in front of his eyes by the time he managed to get up with the help of his crutch.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2198

"It's over..." Chandler despaired as he sensed how fierce the Scarlet Thief's attack was.

He had just managed to get up from the ground. The Scarlet Thief was far too swift, so there was no time for him to dodge the attack. He could only watch as the Scarlet Thief's energy charged toward him.

Unless there was a miracle, he would undoubtedly die instantly if he took the attack.

"Don't you dare!" Just then, Leon managed to catch up to them.

Seeing how Chandler was in danger, Leon immediately used the Phantom Steps to move at incredible speed and stood still in front of Chandler. However, since he did not have time to counter the attack, he could only angle his chest to receive the attack with his Mirror of Sovereign.

With a deafening sound, the Scarlet Thief's attack collided with Leon's chest. However, Leon stood strong and was unscathed.

"Die, Scarlet Thief!" Frustrated by the Scarlet Thiefs repeated escape from him, Leon refused to let go of the chance to kill the Scarlet Thief slip by.

He launched the Earthly Plunder and gathered all his spiritual energy on the tip of his finger before releasing it at the Scarlet Thief's chest.

"Damn it!" The Scarlet Thief exclaimed in terror.

He was still riding on the momentum of the attack he launched toward Henry and Chandler, so he could not muster the strength to dodge Leon's incoming attack!

With a loud booming sound, Leon's Earthly Plunder pierced through the Scarlet Thief's chest, leaving a hole that bled out profusely.

"Why you...!" The Scarlet Thief widened his eyes in rage and remorse before dying and collapsing onto the ground with his eyes wide open.

"It's finally over!" Leon sighed a breath of relief.

It was rather challenging for Leon to eliminate the Scarlet Thief.

Though he surpassed the Scarlet Thief in overall strength, it was not by a huge margin.

The Scarlet Thief was a martial artist in the Intermediate Almighty State who possessed a black-class martial technique. On top of that, he was infamous as one of the most cunning people on the criminal list.

The southern region branch of the Dragon Corps had been going after the Scarlet Thief for years and failed miserably in bringing him to justice. That was sufficient to show how formidable the Scarlet Thief was.

Leon had somehow managed to kill the Scarlet Thief by himself. Luck also played a minor role in his success.

He was far too young, and the Scarlet Thief had underestimated him, giving Leon an advantage.

Had the Scarlet Thief escaped right from the start, Leon might not be able to hurt him at all. However, due to the Scarlet Thief's misjudgment, he underestimated his opponent, and the mistake cost him his life.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2199

"Great! The Scarlet Thief is finally dead!'

"We have avenged our families!"

Henry and Chandler burst into tearful laughter at the same time.

The Scarlet Thief had killed their families, and Leon managed to uphold justice for them, so their hearts were instantly filled with great joy.

Sherlyn, who stood behind them, was also as excited.

Her parents died at the hands of the Scarlet Thief years ago, and she could still remember the sight of them dying in agony.

Tears welled in her eyes at the thought that her parents were finally being avenged. She could not help but sob in joy.

Henry and Chandler snapped out of it shortly after and fell onto their knees before Leon.

Sherlyn followed their lead and took a few steps forward before kneeling as well.

"What are you guys doing? Get up!" Leon was caught by surprise and hurried over to help them up.

"Mister Wolf, thank you for killing the Scarlet Thief and avenging us! We don't even know how we can ever repay our

debt to you. Please allow us to show our respect!" Henry bowed his head toward Leon respectfully.

Chandler and Sherlyn both followed Henry's lead and bowed toward Leon as well.

"Henry, you don't have to thank me! The Scarlet Thief had committed countless crimes in the past. Anyone would want to get rid of him! I merely fulfilled my duty as a member of the community. You don't have to be so grateful about it..." Lon smiled.

All eight criminals on the criminal list were known to be ruthless and had committed heinous crimes.

Leon was a righteous and upstanding man. He would have done his best to kill anyone that was on the criminal list when given the chance.

Indeed, after eliminating Asmodeus and Poisonwielder, the Scarlet Thief was the third criminal that Leon had taken out.

"Regardless, Mister Wolf, you've avenged us, and I will do anything to repay your kindness!" Henry said.

After what had happened, he was even more determined to follow and serve Leon for the rest of his life.

"Henry is right! Mister Wolf, there's nothing I can do that can match up to what you've done for us! From now on, if you want something, just say the word, and I'll heed your orders even at the cost of my life!" Chandler said sincerely.

'Even at the cost of your life? There’s no need for that! Chandler, I want you to join Cynthion Group. Can you do that

for me?" Leon asked.

"Of course! As long as you're fine with my age and the fact that I need a crutch to move around, I'm more than willing to work for you!" Chandler nodded without hesitation.

He had only rejected Leon's invitation before because he wanted to focus on his training to seek revenge on the Scarlet Thief. On top of that, he was also worried that he might trouble Leon and the Cynthion Group if he joined the company.

Not only did Leon cure Chandler's legs, but he also killed the Scarlet Thief.

Without anything holding him back, there was no longer any reason for Chandler to refuse to work for Cynthion Group.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2200

"Great! That's settled, then! Stop bowing!" Overjoyed, Leon immediately asked Chandler, Henry, and Sherlyn to get up.

His main goal in visiting Chandler was to recruit him into Cynthion Group and resolve the security crisis the company was facing. Since his purpose had been fulfilled, there was no reason for Leon to stay there any longer.

"Chandler, why don't you pack up and leave with us?" Leon asked.

"Sure!" Chandler agreed before returning to his hut to gather his belongings.

In the meantime, Leon ordered Mason to shove the Scarlet Thief s body into the trunk of the car while he went to pick up the three daggers he had thrown earlier.

The poison on his daggers was Deadly Veratrum poison. It was extremely rare, so Leon did not intend to waste them since they had missed the Scarlet Thief earlier.

After retrieving his daggers, Chandler went out of the hut and got into the car with the others to leave.

Meanwhile, in the yard of the southern region branch of the Dragon Corps.

Twenty Dragon Guards of varying ages gathered while Alfred stood before them with a stern look on his face.

"Everyone, I've contacted the eastern region and informed them to send us reinforcements for the mission to eliminate the Scarlet Thief! They have sent us a few Dragon Guards, and they should be here any moment now! Once they get here, we will join our forces and put the Scarlet Thief down!" Alfred said.

Everything was in place as he had summoned a group of Dragon Guards in advance to prepare for the attack on the Scarlet Thief.

Once the Dragon Guards from the eastern region arrived, they would be able to spring into action.

"Yes!" The Dragon Guards said in unison, all the while worrying.

The Scarlet Thief ranked fourth on the criminal list and was known for his cunning. He would often escape as soon as he heard any news of an ambush against him.

Even with the help of the Dragon Guards from the eastern region, they might not find the Scarlet Thief, let alone kill him.

Their chances of success were really low. That was what all the Dragon Guards, including Alfred, had thought.

Although the southern region Dragon Corps had a lot of powerful martial artists, with a few in the Intermediate or advanced Almighty States, the Scarlet Thief was skilled in hiding himself.

The southern region was vast, and it would be difficult to find the Scarlet Thief on their own.

Thankfully, they had managed to obtain some hints after tracking the Scarlet Thief for days, so they might be able to find the Scarlet Thief and hunt him down with the help of the Dragon Guards from the eastern region. The rest would depend on their luck.
