The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2481

"Mister Wolf, don't mess with us! These herbs should add up to at least 287 million. A vice president like you can't possibly afford it." Josua was the first to snap out of it. He sneered and glanced at Leon in contempt.

Apart from Renee, he and Ariel la were the first people to know Leon and they knew about Leon's background.

According to what he knew, Leon was just a vice president from a small business in the southern region and was not even a descendant of influential families.

With that in mind, he assumed that Leon might not even possess 3 million, let alone hundreds of millions.

Yet, Leon claimed that he wanted to purchase all fifteen herbs.

This was practically impossible and he refused to believe Leon could accomplish it.

"That's right!"

"Kid, I'm warning you. Suppose you can't afford the herbs, scram. Don't cause trouble here! If you keep this up, we will show you no mercy."

Realization dawned on the others and they all turned to glare at Leon.

They knew Leon was just a vice president who likely had a net worth of a few million at best.

However, even the cheapest herbs that only grew for three hundred years cost up to 4 million.

They assumed that Leon might not be able to afford even the cheapest herb and that he was just seeking attention, as they could not think of any other explanation for his behavior.

"He's just a clown. Renee, send this clown out of here. Aren't you worried that he's going to embarrass you?" Felton mocked and stared at Leon with disgust.

Leon repeatedly opposed him and he harbored resentment toward Leon because of that.

Since Leon was offending the others, he refused to let this opportunity go and took the chance to mock Leon along with Renee.

"I-" Renee's expression darkened.

Though she knew that Cynthion Group was not as insignificant as others imagined it to be, Hugh was merely a vice president and not the chairman.

Moreover, 287 million was hardly a small amount.

Even, she could only move funds worth 70 million at a time without her grandfather's permission. Hence, there was no way Leon could do such a thing.

She could not determine if Leon was truly trying to make the purchase or if he was causing trouble on purpose as others accused him of.

"Mister Wolf, these herbs are too expensive and, normally, you can't afford them. Please think this through," Ariel la said.

She agreed with the others and did not think Leon could afford so many herbs.

Hence, she tried to talk him out of it to save him from embarrassment.

"Yeah! Mister Wolf, don't just run your mouth if you can't afford it. You may not mind losing face, but don't drag Miss Morrison down into your mess," Joshua mocked.

Though he was jealous of Leon and desperately wished he would embarrass himself in public, both he and Ariella came along with Renee and Leon. ’ With Leon being seen as a fool, he was worried that he might be seen the same way as well, i

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2482-"Who says I can't afford them?" Leon scoffed and was about to continue when Jaxon came down from the stage.

Mister Wolf, you might not be an expert in herbs. There are different types of herbs with different effects. Even if you buy all fifteen of them, they won't all be useful to you. These herbs that have grown for three hundred years work great.

If you like them, you can buy one and try how it works on you first,” Jaxon said.

Though he did not think someone of Leon's status could afford the herbs, he could not insult Leon like the others as he was the host. Moreover, Leon was hundred-year-old herb even if he could not afford the other ones that cost tens of millions.

Hence, he recommended the cheaper herbs to Leon and gave him an excuse to give up. So long as Leon accepted it, he would not embarrass himself and Renee.

"It's fine. Mister Feaks, I'm interested in them all. Please pack them and calculate the total amount!" Leon said calmly.

Cynthion Group needed a large supply of herbs to produce alchemical pills, especially herbs that grew for over three hundred years.

He was lucky to encounter this many rare herbs, so he needed to purchase them all.

"But-" Jaxon did not expect Leon to be so insistent despite being given a way out.

This caught him by surprise and he was stunned.

"That's enough! Don't worry, Mister Feaks. 287 million doesn't mean much to me. If you are worried that I can't afford it, run my card!" Leon saw through Jaxon's thoughts and placed his card on the cabinet before Jaxon.

"Well," Jaxon was utterly dazed by the sight of the card and could not figure out what Leon was planning.

Was he going to purchase all fifteen herbs?

’But, given his status, how could he?' he thought.

"Kid, why are you bluffing? 287 million isn't a small amount. Even Renee would struggle to afford it. Who do you think you are? Is there that much money on your card?" Unable to stand it any longer, Felton mocked.

He refused to believe Leon had that much money because it was unrealistic.

However, Leon was Renee's boyfriend and he assumed Leon was relying on Renee's support.

If that were truly what Leon thought, it would be laughable.

Though Renee was the eldest daughter of the Morrisons, it would be challenging for her to move such a large amount of money.

Moreover, the effects of these herbs were different and most were not suitable for the method the Morrisons trained with. Hence, there was no point for Renee to purchase all the herbs.

Caleb and the other elders would never allow her to spend 287 million on herbs that were useless to them.

 

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2483

"Yeah, Mister Fermer is right!"

"These herbs are really expensive and add up to about 287 million. Not many people here can afford them!"

"Kid, if you keep causing trouble, we won't spare you!"

The others agreed with Felton's view.

Though they were all from wealthy families with a net worth of thousands of millions, their fortune were mainly in the form of properties.

Even higher-status elites like Felton and Renee would struggle to gather such a big fund, not to mention a vice president like Leon.

They all assumed Leon was trying to cause trouble because that seemed to be the only possibility.

"Just because you can't afford it, doesn't mean I can't! Mister Feaks, just run the card!" Leon scoffed.

He saw no point in arguing about a fact. All they needed was to run his card to find out if he had enough funds, so he did not bother to argue with the others.

"Why you! How stubborn!"

The others were all enraged by Leon's arrogance and glared at him, thinking that he was looking for trouble.

"Mister Feaks, since he insists, just run the card! I want to see if he has the money to buy all these herbs!" Seeing as others were upset with Leon, Felton realized that this was his chance to target Leon. He turned to scan Mister Daglesh and the others. "Mister Daglesh, you can see how this kid is causing trouble on purpose right? If we find out that he doesn't have enough money, you can't stop me from teaching him a lesson!"

"Mister Fermer, don't worry! If he is causing trouble on purpose, I won't stop you!" Mister Daglesh said.

He only protected Leon because Felton was far too arrogant and he did not want the bouquet to be ruined. However, Leon's action already provoked all the guests.

Mister Daglesh was appalled by Leon as well. If there were no money in Leon's card, this would prove that he was intentionally causing trouble.

If that were the case, he would have no reason to stop Felton from harming Leon.

"Mister Daglesh is right!"

"If this kid can't pay up, you can do with him as you please, Mister Fermer,"

The others agreed along. No one supported Leon, nor did they believe that Leon could afford the herb.

However, what happened next shocked them.

"Ding!"

Jaxon told one of the guards to bring over a card reader.

Though he did not believe Leon was capable of pulling out 287 million, Leon insisted on using his card and enraged others with his action. At this point, Jaxon had no other option.

He double-confirmed the prices of the herbs and started running the transaction.

The money needed for the herbs was transferred out of Leon's account smoothly, leading to roughly 287 million, i

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2484

"What!" Jaxon's jaw dropped when he received the money.

He did not expect Leon to pay 287 million in his wildest dream and this caught him by surprise.

He froze in place, unable to react.

"Mister Feaks, what's going on? This kid doesn't have money, does he? I knew that he was just bluffing. Now that his cover has been blown, let's see what he has to say for himself!" Felton sneered and narrowed his eyes maliciously.

He already reached an agreement with Mister Daglesh and the others.

If Leon failed to pay, they would not stop him from dealing with Leon any longer.

Seeing as Jaxon was stunned, Felton assumed that it was because Leon did not have enough money in the card.

Not showing mercy, he waved his arm, ready to order his guards to capture Leon.

However, the reality was cruel.

Before he could place the order, what happened next shook him to his core.

"No, Mister Fermers! I've received 287 million and there is more than enough funds in Mister Wolfs card!" Jaxon snapped out of it and said.

His words caused a stir.

"What? Are you saying that he has 287 million? How can that be possible?"

Felton was stunned and could not believe what he was hearing.

Naturally, he was not the only one. The others gaped at Leon in disbelief.

They all knew that Leon was merely a vice president of a small company and with that considered, no one expected him to be capable of purchasing all these expensive herbs.

However, the truth delivered a deafening blow to them all.

To their bewilderment, Leon paid 287 million for all the herbs.

It was practically a miracle and they were all shaken to the core.

"It's true. If you don't believe me, I can show you the receipt," Jaxon nodded and showed everyone the receipt to prevent them from criticizing Leon.

"Well-" When they saw the receipt, they were stunned.

The proof was staring them in the eye, and they could not deny it any longer.

At that moment, they realized that they underestimated Leon.

"Wow! Hugh, I didn't think you could pay 287 million! You are great!"

Snapping out of the initial shock, both Renee and Ariella were overjoyed.

Renee was quite worried at first. Hugh was just a vice president and not the chairman, so he might need the capability to pull out such a large amount of money. However, he succeeded in doing so and that filled her with shock and admiration.

Ariel la, too, was impressed by Hugh and Cynthion Group. Though she never heard about Cynthion Group and Hugh was just a vice president, he managed to gather hundreds of millions, which proved that Cynthion Group had great financial power.

The company was far from what she initially imagined. 2

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2485

"How could this happen?"

Contrary to Renee and Ariella's reaction, Joshua was utterly stunned.

He already learned from Renee that Leon was just the company's vice president. With such a low status, he could not understand how Leon managed to gather such a large amount of money.

It was unbelievable and he would have never believed it to be real if he did not see it himself.

"Damn it! How did that kid do this?" Felton clenched his fists, his expression darkened.

He was just imagining how he could teach Leon a lesson once he failed to pay 287 million. To his surprise, he was wrong.

Thinking back to how he mocked Leon and discussed with others how they would teach Leon a lesson, he felt like a fool.

Instantly, he was so embarrassed that he wished he could hide. Naturally, he was not the only one.

The others were all ashamed of their arrogance and mockery.

"Mister Fermer, didn't you question if I can afford these herbs? I've already paid.

What else do you have to say?" Leon turned to Felton, his gaze contemptuous.

He did not forget about how Felton continuously mocked him and this was his chance to fight back.

He was curious to see how Felton would react.

"I-" Felton paled, unable to retort.

After all, Leon was simply telling the truth and could only swallow his pride.

This was the consequence of his actions.

"Alright. Mister Wolf, I've packed all the herbs up. Please check them." Just that, Jaxon already ordered the guards to pack all fifteen herbs and handed them to Leon.

"Sure." Leon accepted the herbs and smiled.

He came to this bouquet mainly to purchase herbs. Since his purpose was accomplished, he was in a great mood.

Felton already embarrassed himself and he could not be bothered to waste more time on him.

"Hang on!"

If this guy buys all fifteen herbs, what will we get?"

Watching Leon and glancing at the empty cabinets, the others were stunned.

Someone muttered and realization dawned on them.

Initially, they thought that someone of Leon's status could not gather 287 million, so they were not alerted about the fact that he was purchasing all the herbs.

However, after Leon paid, they realized something was wrong.

They all came to purchase herbs and if Leon bought them all, this trip would be in vain.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2486

"Kid, you can't buy all the herbs!" Felton was the first to snap out of it and stood forward.

He was in the Intermediate Emperor State and rivaled Hugo in terms of strength.

He came here to purchase herbs that matched his physique to boost his training in the hope that he could surpass Hugo soon.

He was a few years younger than Hugo and if he managed to surpass Hugo, he could become the brightest talent in his generation.

This was his dream for as long as he could remember. However, Leon bought all three spiritual herbs and he could not accept this.

"That's right!" "Kid, we are all here to purchase herbs!" "Ya, what are we going to do if you buy them all?"

The others chimed in, all reluctant to let Leon buy all the herbs.

"What a joke! You were the ones who doubted if I had the money to buy all the herbs. Now that I've paid, you won't let me take the herbs away? Don't you think you are out of line?" Leon questioned with a dark expression.

"Well," The others were instantly rendered speechless because Leon was simply telling the truth.

They were the ones who asked Leon to purchase all the herbs and looked forward to punishing him when he failed.

However, Leon paid and obtained the herbs, yet they refused to let him leave with the herbs.

This was indeed out of line.

"Spare me, kid! That was then, and this is now. You have one chance. You can pick one or two herbs that you want from the herbs and leave the rest!"

Felton scoffed.

Since Leon was Renee's boyfriend and Leon consistently embarrassed him, he resented Leon.

Seeing as others were upset that Leon purchased all the herbs, he took the opportunity to pick on Leon.

If Leon knew what was best for him, he would leave the herbs and Felton could consider sparing him. However, if he resisted, Felton could use this as an excuse to teach him a lesson.

By then, the others would side with him and no one would stop him from hurting Leon.

"If I refuse?" Leon laughed angrily.

"Refuse? That's not up to you!" Felton narrowed his eyes maliciously.

He desperately wished that he would refuse so that he could teach him a lesson.

"What, are you going to rob me?" Leon's expression darkened in response to his arrogance.

"So what if that's what I'm going to do? If you don't leave the herbs here, you aren't leaving," Felton said coldly.

"Who do you think you are? What a joke!" Leon scoffed and stared at Felton in contempt.

Western Boss would struggle to restrain him, not to mention Felton.

Hence, he did not take Felton's threat seriously. 1

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2487

"Very well. You asked for this. Since you don't know your place, don't blame me for this!" Felton was enraged by Leon's contemptuous attitude.

Not wanting to waste his time, he raised his arm and prepared to fight Leon.

"Hang on!"

"Wait!"

Just then, two different voices rose. One belonged to Renee, who took a step forward and stood before Leon to prevent Felton from harming him.

The other came from Mister Daglesh, who stepped out of the crowd.

"Jensen, you again! What's the meaning of this? Are you going to side with this kid again?" Felton's cold gaze landed on Mister Daglesh.

Renee was supposed to be Leon's girlfriend, so it was normal that she would protect him. However, Jensen was not related to Leon in any way.

However, he kept opposing Felton and stopping him from harming Leon.

Felton was enraged, thinking that Jensen underestimated him.

"Mister Fermer, I have no intention of being your enemy. I just need to discuss something with Mister Wolf," Jensen said calmly.

Though Felton was the son of the Western boss, the Dagleshs* influence rivaled that of the Fermers.

Hence, he faced Felton without a hint of fear.

"Spit it out, then!" Felton scoffed and decided to observe him for the moment.

Jensen walked over to Renee and Leon. "Mister Wolf, I need to ask a favor. I came to purchase a spiritual herb and I hope that you can sell me one of those.

Don't worry. I'll pay the original price for it," he said sincerely.

As the eldest son of the Dagleshs, he was rather talented and reached the Semi-Emperor State four years ago.

However, he somehow lacked the final boost that could get him to the Emperor State.

He came to this bouquet because he wanted to purchase a spiritual herb, hoping that it could help introduce a breakthrough.

Since Leon now owned all the herbs, he could only plead with Leon to sell him one of the spiritual herbs.

He was different from Felton.

As a person accustomed to the ways of the underground society, Felton was arrogant and was planning on robbing Leon. However, Jensen could not do the same.

Like the Morrisons, the Dagleshs were righteous people who valued their reputation. Hence, he could never rob someone, and that made him different from Felton.

"No. Sorry, Mister Daglesh. I can't sell the spiritual herb to you!" Leon shook his head and rejected his request.

All fifteen herbs, especially the spiritual herbs, were crucial to producing effective alchemical pills. Hence, he could not sell any of it to Jensen.

Considering how polite Jensen was, Leon spoke with a more approachable tone.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2488

"Why not? Mister Wolf, these fifteen types of herbs all have different effects. If you want to enhance your power, not all of them will work for you. If you could sell me one of the herbs, I'll owe you one and help you whenever you are in need," Jensen said.

Though he did not know why Leon needed so many herbs, he knew that Leon should only need one or two herbs if he needed to enhance his power or promote his health.

It seemed like a small favor for Leon to sell him one of the herbs.

The others were already displeased that Leon bought all the herbs. However, they were all from honorable families. On top of that, Leon was Renee's boyfriend so they would not dare to harm Leon.

However, Felton was different.

He was a member of the underground society and always got his way. He already took the opportunity and attempted to take the herbs away by force.

It seemed impossible for a mere vice president to rival Felton, who had high status and power in the Intermediate Emperor State.

If Leon was willing to sell him one of the herbs, he would be in debt to Leon.

With both Jensen and Renee protecting Leon, Felton would not be able to harm him.

This would be a great bargain for Leon.

"No! Mister Daglesh, to be honest, I bought these herbs to produce alchemical pills. I can't sell you the herbs," Leon rejected his request once again.

He could tell that Jensen wanted to purchase the herbs to enhance his power.

An idea came up and he was about to say something when Jensen interrupted him.

"Alchemical pills? Mister Wolf, I don't care what you want to do. Are you not going to sell me at least one type of herb?" Jensen's expression darkened.

He never heard of Cynthion Group and did not know about the alchemical pills.

All he knew was that he risked angering Felton to stop him from harming Leon.

However, Leon refused to sell just one herb to him.

This seemed ungrateful of him and he was instantly enraged.

Spotting the angered expression on Jensen's face, Renee immediately explained in Leon's place, "Mister Daglesh, you've misunderstood him. Hugh isn't reluctant to help. He purchased these herbs to produce Energy Nurturing Pills. These pills can aid martial artists' training and enhance our power. There's no need to spend so much money on herbs."

Jensen and Felton were both direct descendants of powerful families in the western region. Their status and influence rivaled that of hers.

Leon already crossed Felton and she did not want him to anger Jensen as well.

Otherwise, Leon would suffer even with her protection if he crossed two elites from powerful families at the same time.

 

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2489

"What? Miss Morrison, did you just say that these alchemical pills can help martial artists with training? Is that true?" Jensen was shocked and realized why Leon needed so many herbs.

It seemed like the Cynthion Group needed the herbs to produce alchemical pills for martial artists.

This was unheard of and he was shaken to the core.

Naturally, so were the others. They all exchanged stunned looks as they tried to figure out if Renee was telling the truth.

"It's true! I heard from my brother that the Energy Nurturing Pills can enhance martial artists' power and increase the probability of getting a breakthrough. I've taken it a few times and they work great. It's far better than just taking the herbs raw." Renee nodded.

Though she did not know much about Cynthion Group, she once heard about the Energy Nurturing Pills' effect from Hugo.

On another note, Hugo once purchased two hundred Energy Nurturing Pills and gave a dozen to her.

She took them and though she did not know if the Energy Nurturing Pills could get martial artists past the bottleneck of their training, she could tell that the pills worked just as well as any spiritual herb.

Indeed, the Energy Nurturing Pills were made from countless rare herbs, merged by Leon's spiritual energy, which enhanced their medical properties.

Ordinary Energy Nurturing Pills could rival spiritual herbs, so premium Energy Nurturing Pills would only be even more powerful.

"What? Cynthion Group's alchemical pills can enhance the chance of a breakthrough. How's that possible?"

Everyone was stunned.

It was already surreal that Cynthion Group used herbs to produce alchemical pills that helped with martial artists' training. However, Renee claimed that the pills worked even better than the herbs and could help martial artists get past the bottleneck of their training.

This was simply unbelievable.

Apart from the rarest spiritual herbs, even ordinary spiritual herbs would not have such effects.

Hence, none of them believed Renee.

"Miss Morrison, don't mess with us. The alchemical pills produced by Cynthion Group are made from herbs. As great as they may be, they can't surpass the effects of the herbs themselves, not to mention enhancing the possibility of a breakthrough. How laughable!" Jensen snorted.

Though he did not know how alchemical pills were produced, he assumed that Cynthion Group simply cut the herbs up and shaped them into pills to make a profit.

There were countless supplements in the market that were made from herbs, but these supplements would not carry effects that surpass the herbs.

If the same applied to the alchemical pills Cynthion Group produced, the effect of the pills would only be a fraction of what the herbs could do.

There was no way that the pills surpassed the effect of the herbs because it was unrealistic.

Everyone dismissed Renee's claim as nonsense.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2490

"Yeah, Mister Daglesh is right! Miss Morrison, these pills aren't magical. How can these help martial artists past the bottleneck in their training?"

"You must be exaggerating."

The others agreed with Jensen.

Like Jensen, none of them believed that Cynthion Group's alchemical pills could work such wonder.

Since Leon was Renee's 'boyfriend,' they assumed that Renee was exaggerating to protect Leon.

They could not think of any other sensible explanation.

"I'm not messing around or exaggerating anything! I'll tell the truth!" Renee, who was always prideful, could not stand being questioned by so many people.

An idea formed in her mind and she turned to Leon. "Hugh, you're the vice president of Cynthion Group. I'm sure you have some alchemical pills on you, right? Since Mister Daglesh and the others don't believe you, why don't you give them a few Energy Nurturing Pills to show them?"

Before Leon could respond, Jensen chuckled and turned to Leon as well. "Sure!

I can't wait to see if Cynthion Group's alchemical pills are actually that effective!"

"Us, too!"

"Show us!"

The others cheered on and focused on Leon.

Since Leon was Renee's boyfriend and he bought all the herbs, the others were all jealous of him.

They assumed that Renee exaggerated the effect of the pills. If the pills Leon produced could not deliver the same effect she claimed, Leon would be ridiculed.

"Um, sure!" Leon nodded thoughtfully.

He only mentioned that he was the vice president of Cynthion Group because he wanted to leave an impression.

Since everyone was doubtful of the alchemical pills’ effect, this was the best chance for him to promote Cynthion Group. If he could prove that the pills could indeed deliver the claimed effect, all the guests that were present would help promote them. This would help spread words about Cynthion Group and gather sufficient fame for the future branch in the western region.

With that in mind, he made the decision and retrieved a white flask from his pocket. He took out a premium Energy Nurturing Pill, before handing it to Jensen.

"Mister Daglesh, this is a premium Energy Nurturing Pill made by Cynthion Group! Why don't you try it for yourself?" Leon said.

"Sure!" Jensen did not believe in the alchemical pills. To prove that Renee was exaggerating, he took the pill and swallowed it.

The pill dissolved in his mouth immediately and transformed into a stream of pure energy that coursed through his body.

Could Renee be telling the truth about the Energy Nurturing Pill?

Jensen's heart skipped a beat. He soon realized the pure, intense energy that was hidden within the pill and how it rivaled with energy within spiritual herbs.

"Mister Daglesh, how's it?"

"Can it help with our training?"

Jensen had a strange expression after he took the pill, so the others could not help but raise questions.
