The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2471

"Oh, Mister Feaks, allow me to introduce my friend, Hugh Wolf. Hugh, this is Mister Jaxon Feaks," Renee briefly introduced the two.

"Mister Wolf, nice to meet you. I'm sorry for asking this, but I don’t think I've heard of your name in the past. May I know which family you come from?"

Jaxon asked.

The western region was vast and he could not possibly know the names of all families. Hence, it seemed normal for him not to know Leon and he did not think too much of it.

Since Leon was Renee's friend, he assumed that Leon was someone whose status rivaled Renee's, which meant he would be far more powerful than Jaxon himself. Hence, he asked about Leon's background to create a bond in the hope of benefiting his own family.

"I'm not from the western region. I'm the vice president of Cynthion Group from the southern region," Leon said, an idea crossing his mind.

He came to the western region to establish a branch here in the western region.

All the guests here in this bouquet were of great influence, so he voiced the name of his company in the hope of leaving an impression.

This would indirectly market for Cynthion Group and ensure a smoother operation in the future in the western region.

"Are you from the southern region? And you are just a vice president?" Jaxon's smile froze.

He did not expect Leon to be a mere vice president.

This completely caught him off guard.

Naturally, he was not the only one. The others exchanged shocked looks and were all surprised by Leon's humble background.

After all, this was a business bouquet meant for elites, and all guests invited were either wealthy or powerful.

Cynthion Group, however, was just a small business and Leon was just a vice president, which meant he could not compare to the status of the guests here.

Instantly, they all looked down on Leon and cast looks of contempt at him.

However, something even more shocking followed.

"Mister Feaks, don’t underestimate Mister Wolf just because he is a vice president. He's Miss Morrison's boyfriend." Just then, Joshua saw the contemptuous look in everyone's eyes and exposed Leon's relationship with Renee, acting as though he was seeking justice for Leon.

Instantly, the crowd erupted into chaos.

"What?"

"He's Miss Morrison's boyfriend?” "How's that possible?"

Everyone was shocked and they turned to look at Leon in disbelief.

None of them expected Leon, with mediocre looks and lowly status, to be Renee's boyfriend.

This was beyond their imagination and they were all blown away.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2472

"Joshua, what are you talking about? I told you that Hugh isn't my boyfriend!"

Renee said.

"I'm telling the truth. You confirmed it by not denying it just now in the hotel, right? Besides, it's normal for women your age to date, so you don't have to hide it," Joshua said righteously and sneered inwardly.

Ever since he found out that Leon was Renee's boyfriend, his jealousy and contempt toward Leon grew.

However, Renee protected Leon and he dared not to cross the line. However, he felt increasingly jealous, thinking that Leon did not deserve a beauty like Renee.

At that moment, his chance came. He exposed Renee's relationship with Leon on purpose, making it look like he was standing up for Leon when he was trying to set Leon up.

Given Renee's status and her breathtaking beauty, everyone would target Leon once they found out that he was Renee's boyfriend.

Once people started targeting them, Renee and Leon might break up under pressure. That way, he would feel slightly better.

"Why you!" Renee was furious but rendered speechless.

After all, what Joshua said was the truth. Back in the hotel, she did not explain much because she did not want to further the misunderstanding. Her silence could be mistaken as confirmation and she could not argue with that.

"Shut up, Joshua! Renee has her reasons for hiding it, so don't run your mouth!"

Ariella said.

She already guessed that Renee was keeping her relationship with Leon a secret for fear of being opposed by her family, yet Joshua exposed it in front of so many people. If the Morrisons caught words of this, both Renee and Leon would be doomed.

Hence, she stopped Joshua in time to prevent him from causing trouble.

However, in her panic, she did not do so wisely and the way she phrased her words indirectly confirmed what Joshua said.

"So that guy is Miss Morrison's boyfriend!"

Upon hearing what Joshua and Ariella said, everyone was shaken to the core.

Many of them knew that connection between the Oxfords and the Morrisons, and they knew Ariella and Renee were best friends.

Since both Joshua and Renee confirmed it, they no longer doubted it.

Most importantly, Renee was a lady of high status and the most beautiful woman in the western region. Almost every man here considered Renee as their dream woman and would kill if it meant they could be with her.

However, the woman of their dream was now snatched away by a nobody from the southern region who was merely a vice president of a small firm.

From their perspectives, Leon did not deserve Renee. Their hearts broke and were filled with jealousy toward Leon.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2473

"Brat, how dare you?" "You're just a vice president of some company. You aren't even worthy enough to be Miss Morrison's servant. What makes you think you deserve to be her boyfriend?"

"That's right. If you know what's best for yourself, you should leave her now, or you'll suffer!"

The others snapped out of it and exploded with anger.

They all turned to Loen in rage, desperate to take him away.

If glares could kill, Leon would have died a million times by now.

"But," Renee's expression darkened. She desperately wanted to explain herself, but could not find her words.

In contrast to her reaction, Leon was far calmer.

Because of his relationship with Iris and the others, he was constantly the enemy of all eligible bachelors back in Springfield City, so he was used to this situation.

Besides, Renee was not his girlfriend and this was merely a misunderstanding.

He opened his mouth to explain the situation to everyone when something else happened.

"Everyone's right. Brat, I don't care who you are. You have one chance. If you know what's best for you, leave the western region right now. Don't ever step foot here again, or suffer the consequences!" Just then, a cold voice rose.

A man in his late twenties strode in with two bodyguards, his expression dark.

He was none other than the son of the Western Boss, Felton Fermer.

Like the Southern Boss, the Western Boss was one of the western region's big shots.

His gang became one of the most influential forces after years of development, second to only the Morrisons.

As his son, Felton was extremely talented.

Since the western region produced an abundant supply of rare herbs, he long reached the Intermediate Emperor State with the help of rare herbs.

In terms of achievement in martial arts, the only person who could rival him was Hugo.

Both he and Hugo were known as the brightest of their generation in the western region and he was also one of the Thirteen Greats.

They both reached the Intermediate Emperor State, but since Felton was a few years younger, he was slightly weaker than Hugo but had great growth potential.

If everything went well, he would soon surpass Hugo and become the brightest star in the youngest generation.

"That's the son of the Wester Boss, Mister Fermer!"

The others turned around and were all shocked when they spotted Felton.

Felton was one of the most brilliant people in the youngest generation and he held a much higher position compared to the others.

They could only dream of matching him in terms of status, so they all stepped back in unison to make way for Felton.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2474

Felton was pleased that everyone made way for him and strode forward with two of his bodyguards.

"I told you to scram. Are you deaf?" He approached and stared at Leon in contempt.

He arrived just in time to overhear the conversation earlier and learned that Leon was Renee's boyfriend. On top of that, he also learned that Leon was merely a puny vice president from the southern region.

As the son of the Western Boss, Leon was just as powerless as an insect and he had no respect for him.

"Who do you think you are? Who are you to tell me to scram? " Leon's expression darkened and he shot Felton a displeased look.

He initially intended to clarify that he was not Renee's boyfriend, yet Felton appeared out of nowhere and told him to leave arrogantly.

This enraged Leon and he decided not to explain himself.

With his current status and strength, no one in the youngest generation could harm him.

"What?" The crowd gasped in shock and everyone stared at Leon in disbelief.

They all knew that Felton was the Western Boss's son, which made him one of the most powerful men in his generation.

To their bewilderment, an outsider like Leon, who was merely a vice president of a firm they never heard of, dared to challenge Felton.

Instantly, they were stunned, thinking that Leon had a death wish.

Even Renee was shocked. She tugged at his arm and whispered, "Hugh, this guy is the son of the Western Boss.

Be careful. Don't provoke him."

She was the eldest daughter of the Morrisons whose status rivaled that of Felton, so she had nothing to fear from him.

However, the same could not be said about Hugh.

She knew that Hugh was merely a vice president in Cynthion Group, which meant he could not compete with Felton in terms of influence. If he crossed Felton, he would end up suffering for it.

"Son of the Western Boss, huh? So what? Is that supposed to impress me?"

Leon scoffed in contempt.

Based on how others addressed Felton, he already guessed that Felton was the Son of the Western Boss.

compare Arthur and the Southern Boss in terms of status, which made him an equal to Caleb and the Western Boss.

It was not an exaggeration to say that he would have nothing to fear from the Western Boss himself, not to mention his son, Felton.

"Has he gone mad?" The others were utterly shaken.

They initially assumed Leon dared to challenge Felton because he did not know who he was.

To their bewilderment, Leon remained arrogant and contemptuous toward Felton despite Renee reminding him.

They could not figure out how a man like Leon could summon such courage to challenge the son of the Western Boss.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2475

"Very well. You're quite daring, kid! Since you have a death wish, I'll help you out with that! Someone come and break his legs, then feed him to the hounds!” Felton laughed angrily and barked a command at two of his bodyguards.

"Yes!" The two guards responded and charged at Leon.

"Know your places!" Leon scoffed and was about to counter their attack when Renee beat him to it.

"Don't you dare!" Renee's expression darkened and she stepped forward to stand before Leon without hesitation, opening her arms to shield him.

The bodyguards were startled.

They both knew that they could not afford to offend Renee and had to give up on attacking Leon. The two instantly halted their movements and avoided harming Renee by accident.

"Renne, are you sure you want to oppose me for this guy's sake?" Felton's expression darkened and his sharp gaze fell on her.

"So what if I do? Hugh is the Morrisons' guest, Felton! If you want to bully him, you must get through me!" Renee said coldly with determination.

Leon was invited to the western region by Hugo to discuss a potential partnership between the Cynthion Group and the Morrisons.

Regardless of whether the deal could be sealed, Leon was still their guest and she could not possibly watch as someone else hurt him.

"Guest my ass! He's just your boyfriend. Renee, a puny man like him doesn't deserve you! How could you date someone like that? Your standards are getting lower by the day," Felton said enviously.

Renee was the most beautiful woman in the western region and countless young bachelors dreamed of dating her.

Felton was no exception.

He had his eyes on Renee long ago and pursued her multiple times, however, Renee ignored him everytime.

Yet she ended up dating someone who looked ordinary with low status.

Felton could not bring himself to accept this.

Hence, he was determined to pick on Leon and wanted to chase him out of the region, or his rage could not be appeased.

"Who I date is none of your business?! You're in no place to give orders to me!"

Renee shouted angrily.

Though she clarified to others that Leon was not her boyfriend, no one believed her. She felt defeated and could not be bothered to explain herself again.

Moreover, light could never merge with darkness.

The Morrisons were the most powerful family in the Western region and were known for keeping a righteous and just reputation.

The Western Boss, on the other hand, ruled over the underground society and was always at odds with the Morrisons.

Felton was young and brilliant in every aspect, so she respected him for it.

However, the fact that he was the Western Boss's son and his arrogant character appalled her.

Hence, it never crossed her mind to accept him.

At the moment, Felton was taking advantage of his superior status and attempting to bully Loen, which disgusted her further and she saw no point in treating him politely.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2476

"What do you mean it's none of my business? Renee Morrison, you should know that I'm the only one in the western region who deserves you! You're the woman I want and you can only belong to me! Anyone who dares to get in the way will die painfully!" Felton said viciously.

Though Renee rejected him many times before, he decided to make her his and would not allow anyone else to obtain her. However, a man as incapable and ordinary as Leon captured her heart and became her boyfriend.

Instantly, he was filled with rage and jealousy to the point that he itched to kill Leon.

"Why you! Nonsense! Who are you calling your woman? That's enough!" Renee shouted in frustration and helplessness, her face red.

Felton's status rivalled with hers and his strength as a martial artist was not something she could match with.

Felton might not dare to do anything to her out of concern for the Morrisons' wraith, but she could not do anything to him either.

"It's not nonsense! Anyway, get out of the way. I'm going to teach this kid a lesson and make him pay for his arrogance!" Felton said and turned his attention back to Leon.

"No way! I won't get out of the way! Come at me if you want. Don't just use your power to bully others," Renee said coldly, refusing to move.

She knew that this was Leon's first time in the western region and he never crossed paths with Felton.

Felton simply mistook Loen for her boyfriend and intended to harm him. In truth, Loen was innocent and she would never allow Felton to hurt him.

Leon, who remained quiet the entire time, said in contempt," Miss Morrison, it's fine. I appreciate your kindness but do move out of the way. I'm curious to see what the son of the Western Boss is capable of!"

though he preferred to keep a low profile and stay out of trouble, he was not a coward.

Felton insulted him repeatedly and he was offended.

Leon intended to teach Felton a lesson to show him that he was hardly the strongest person in the room.

Naturally, with Renee in front of her and the others around, Leon did not want them to be caught in the crossfire and knew he needed to get them to step away.

"What?"

"Has he gone insane?"

Renee and the others were all shocked, their jaws dropping.

They knew that Felton was one of the brightest in his generation and his strength had long reached Intermediate Emperor State.

Leon appeared to be an ordinary person who was not even a martial artist.

Considering Felton's strength, he only needed to lift a finger to crush Leon.

Yet Leon continued to act arrogantly and challenged Felton to a fight.

This seemed extremely foolish of him.

Shocked, everyone stared at Leon, thinking that he was either insane or stupid, as these seemed to be the only possible answers.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2477

"Brat, you must have a death wish!" Felton was utterly enraged by Leon's arrogance.

Unable to suppress his anger, he reached his arm out and darted toward Leon, intending to destroy him to appease his anger.

Renee was still standing in front of Leon at the moment. The Morrisons backed her and he wanted her for himself, so he could not harm her.

Hence, he intended to capture Renee first.

Without Renee's protection, an ordinary man like Leon would be his to do as he pleased.

However, before he could act, he was stopped.

"Stop! Mister Fermer, we're all invited here by Mister Feaks to attend this bouquet, not to watch you show off! If you're upset with Miss Morrison's boyfriend, you can settle your scores privately, but please don't ruin this bouquet."

Just then, someone scoffed and a man in his thirties stepped forward from the crowd to stop Felton.

"Mister Daglesh, what's the meaning of this? Do you intend to protect this lowly man?" Felton's expression darkened as he recognized the man to be the eldest son of the Dagleshs.

The Dagleshs were one of the powerful forces in the western region as well, just like the Fermers.

As the direct descendent of the first bloodline of his family, Mister Daglesh held an equal status as him and he could not ignore Mister Daglesh.

"I'm not intending to protect anyone! I came to this bouquet to purchase a few rare herbs to help with my training.

Hence, I don't want anyone to mess this up!" Mister Daglesh said.

"Yeah, Mister Daglesh is right!"

"Mister Fermer, no matter what you feel about Miss Morrison's boyfriend, you can settle it in private, but don't ruin this bouquet!"

The others agreed with Mister Daglesh's words.

They were all jealous of Leon for being Renee's boyfriend and had a bad impression of him because of that. However, Felton was far too arrogant and claimed to own Renee in front of everyone, which only made others resent him more.

Besides, they were all here to purchase rare herbs, not to fight over a woman.

Since Mister Daglesh stepped forward to stop Felton, it was only natural forthem to support him to prevent Felton from causing trouble.

"Why you!" Watching as everyone opposed him, Felton's expression darkened.

Though he had a high status and did not fear anyone here, he was outnumbered.

Every guest here belonged to powerful families with a few of them being direct descendants of influential families like Mister Daglesh.

If he insisted on acting as he pleased, he would enrage everyone and that would not be beneficial to him or his family.

However, he could not quite get himself to simply give up.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2478

"Sir, he can't get far. Once the bouquet ends, we can deal with him later," One of the bodyguards whispered into Felton's ear.

"Yeah, you're right," Felton agreed with the bodyguard.

Leon was merely a lowly scum and he had plenty of chance to deal with Leon after the bouquet. There was no hurry to it.

"Mister Fermer, welcome. The bouquet's about to start. Please end this out of respect for me," Jaxon came forward.

As the host, he did not want this conflict to affect the bouquet and preferred if the situation could be resolved.

"I'll do so out of respect for you, then!" Felton nodded and shot a sharp glance at Leon, scoffing. "Kid, consider yourself lucky. I'll let you off the hook this time since Mister Daglesh and Mister Feaks asked. If this happens again, you won't get away so easily!"

Maybe," Leon snorted casually.

He came to this bouquet to purchase rare herbs, not to fight.

Since Renee was not his girlfriend, he did not see others as rivals either.

Felton already compromised and Leon could not be bothered to waste his time on him.

"Good. This is settled peacefully." Seeing as the conflict between Felton and Leon came to an end, Renee and Ariella sighed a breath of relief, thinking this was the end of it.

Unbeknownst to them, Felton was determined to pick on Leon later on.

If they knew about this, they would not be so optimistic.

"This guy sure is lucky," Unlike them, Joshua was disappointed.

He exposed Renee's relationship with Leon to teach Leon a lesson through others. However, Leon got lucky and dodged the bullet.

This caused his effort to go to waste.

Naturally, the others were just as disappointed because they all disliked Leon for being Renee's boyfriend.

If they were not worried about ruining the bouquet, they would have wanted Felton to teach Leon a lesson and they felt slightly upset that could not happen.

Mister Hacket, this all happened thanks to you. I should be thanking you,"

Seeing through Joshua's thoughts, Leon cast a sharp glance at him.

He knew that all the trouble was a result of what Joshua said. He could not tell if Joshua did so unintentionally or on purpose, but he knew Joshua bore ill intention.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2479

Wavering under Leon's sharp gaze, Joshua muttered, "I don't know what you mean, Mister Wolf."

Though he was certain that Leon came from a humble background, Leon's gaze still sent chills down his spine and made him feel uneasy.

"You better not know what I mean!" Loen scoffed.

He could guess what Joshua was plotting, but it was merely speculation. Aside from that, Joshua was Ariella's boyfriend and Loen had a good impression on Ariella.

Out of respect for Renee and Ariella, he decided to let this slide.

"Damn this kid! How arrogant!" Joshua relaxed once Leon looked away, then snapped out of it.

Leon's status could not hold a candle to his. On top of that, he was a capable martial artist, so he had nothing to fear from Leon.

At this moment, he realized how cowardly his reaction earlier was.

Instantly, he was filled with frustration, but it was too late.

Just then, the others' attention was diverted back to the bouquet and they all urged Jaxon, "Alright, Mister Feaks. Just start the bouquet!"

Without further delay, Jaxon stepped over to a temporarily built stage in the middle. "Thank you all for attending this bouquet. Allow me to announce the start of tonight's excitement."

He gave a brief speech, then cut to the chase. "A total of fifteen herbs will be auctioned off tonight. Amongst them, twelve are rare herbs that have grown from three hundred to five hundred years, with the remaining three being spiritual herbs," Jaxon introduced the items and signaled a few guards to step toward the stage.

There were two glass display cabinets on each side and they were covered by red clothes at the moment.

Upon his command, the guards lifted the red clothes, revealing the dried herbs inside the cabinets.

The herbs were all of different shapes and were perfectly kept. There were labels stating each herb's description along with the selling price. The price ranged from 3 million to 10 million.

Naturally, the longer the herbs grew, the more expensive they would be.

Most of the herbs displayed grew for roughly three hundred years. There were only two wild Panax that grew for five hundred years and three normal spiritual herbs.

In terms of effect, spiritual herbs worked far better than rare herbs. Normal spiritual herbs would work better than herbs that grew for five hundred years and rivaled the effect of herbs that grew for seven to eight hundred years.

However, the western region was a unique area.

Experts could easily come across normal spiritual herbs when they hunt for herbs in the mountains. Herbs that grew for five hundred years or above were rarer to find.

Because of this, there were only two herbs that grew for five hundred years and not a single herb that grew for over five hundred years.

In terms of price, Sky County was vast with great resources, so the price for herbs was generally lower than Springfield City. However, normal spiritual herbs and aged herbs are so rare that they were often sold at a rather fixed price.

Amongst the herbs that grew for three hundred years, the prices were set at around 4 million according to their effect Though herbs that grew for five hundred years couldn't compare with normal spiritual herbs, they were rarer and around the same price as the spiritual herb, selling at around 40 million.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2480

"So there are spiritual herbs. They aren't even that expensive, " After reading the details and prices for the herbs, Leon nodded with satisfaction.

He only came to this bouquet because Renee mentioned they would be selling spiritual herbs, since that was true, his trip was not in vain.

Also, he once spent 86 million on a Snow Lotus that grew for five hundred years back in Seacove City. Meanwhile, the Panax that grew for five hundred years here in this bouquet only cost around 30 million.

The ordinary spiritual herbs, only cost around 43 million each, which was hardly a huge difference from the price for the Panax.

These prices were not expensive and did not exceed his expectations.

"Two wild Panax that grew for five hundred years and three spiritual herbs, huh?"

Just as Leon contemplated, the others focused mostly on the two wild Panax that grew for five hundred years and three spiritual herbs.

Though rare herbs could help martial artists with their training, herbs that only grew for three hundred years were not that useful and the two wild Panax that grew for five hundred years and three spiritual herbs were far more valuable.

However, there were various types of herbs and each had their unique functions.

Some herbs carried light energy and were more suitable for martial artists training with light methods.

Some herbs were milder and could be used by martial artists who trained with methods that had no specific property.

Some herbs carried dark energy and were more suitable for martial artists training with dark methods or for female martial artists.

Hence, the guests all needed to pick the herbs that worked best for them before making a purchase.

Moreover, these five herbs were costly, with each costing at least 30 million and the spiritual herb costing around 43 million.

Though these guests were all from wealthy families, this was still considered a large amount. If the herbs were not suitable for them, they would rather purchase an effective herb that only grew for three hundred years instead of purchasing a spiritual herb that would not work.

to conclude, they needed to consider carefully due to concern over the prices and the effectiveness.

However, just as they contemplated, what happened next shook them all.

"Mister Feaks, I will take all fifteen herbs! Please pack them up!" Leon said thoughtfully.

"What?" Everyone there was stunned.

They all knew that each herb carried different functions and they were all costly.

Even if they were to make a purchase, they would usually only go for one or two herbs.

To their bewilderment, someone wanted to purchase all fifteen herbs.

This was surreal and they were all shaken to the core.

The guests glanced over at the source of the voice, wondering who was wealthy enough to purchase all the herbs.

When they finally saw the person who spoke, the guests were shocked.
