Ch. 2601..2610
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2601-"Nonsense! The Premium Energy Nurturing Pills may help martial artists with their training, but they aren't that much better than rare herbs! Besides, they are only offering twenty percent of profit. The others aren't fools and wouldn't possibly work with Cynthion Group!" Jayden sneered and scoffed.
His arrogance led him to believe that the Premium Energy Nurturing Pills were just as effective as rare herbs.
Since Cynthion Group offered low profit, he did not think that others would fight for a chance to work with them.
He assumed that Renee was merely exaggerating to convince Caleb and could not think of any other explanation.
"That’s right. It's quite strange." "Cynthion Group is offering too little, so why would other families accept such a deal?"
Caleb and the others immediately regained their composure.
They only refused to work with Cynthion Group because the profit Leon offered was too low. If the Morrisons were not happy with it, it was hard to believe that other families would accept such terms.
"The profit Cynthion Group offers isn't that high, but their alchemical pills worked miraculously and there is great growth potential. Considering how much they make, twenty percent of profit is already a lot. Any family would benefit greatly from working with Cynthion Group," Renee said.
"The pills work miraculously? How so? I've seen how the Premium Energy Nurturing Pills work and they work similarly with rare herbs. It's not that big a deal!" Jayden sneered and continued to look down at the alchemical pills.
"Who said that the Premium Energy Nurturing Pills work like rare herbs? Uncle Jayden, these pills can increase the chances of a breakthrough as well.
Ordinary herbs can't compare with it. On top of that, the Premium Energy Nurturing Pills are way cheaper than herbs. You can't compare the two!" Renee scoffed.
She knew that in terms of enhancing strength, the Premium Energy Nurturing Pills worked similarly to herbs that grew for two to three hundred years.
However, they could also increase the chances of a breakthrough.
If martial artists take the Premium Energy Nurturing Pills consistently, they will have an easier time when they reach a bottleneck. In this aspect, rare herbs could not be compared.
As for price, a Premium Energy Nurturing Pill would cost only tens of thousands, whereas herbs that grew for two to three hundred years would cost at least hundreds of thousands.
With such big differences in price and effect, the Premium Energy Nurturing Pills were far better than herbs.
It was almost certain that others would fight for a chance to work with Cynthion Group.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2602-"Renee, did you just say that Premium Energy Nurturing Pills can enhance the chances of a breakthrough? What a joke! That's just false marketing. Are you taking that seriously?" Jayden mocked and laughed.
Hugo purchased some Premium Energy Nurturing Pills from the southern region and he already heard the pills' effect, but the chance for martial artists who took those to have a breakthrough was extremely low.
From a business point of view, it was practically a gamble.
Indeed, Hugo distributed the Premium Energy Nurturing Pills to some of the younger martial artists in the family, including Renee and Georgie. However, after using it for some time, no one succeeded in having a breakthrough with the help of the Premium Energy Nurturing Pills.
Hence, Jayden assumed that the proclaimed effect of the Premium Energy Nurturing Pills was merely a means of marketing.
It was a common tactic for business owners.
"Yeah! Renee, you don't know much about running a business. This type of false marketing can't be taken seriously."
They all agreed along, thinking that Renee was being too naive.
"Why not? Grandfather, I saw Jensen Daglesh trying the Premium Energy Nurturing Pill last night in front of everyone. With its help, he ascended to the Emperor State from the Semi-Emperor State. I saw it with my own eyes, so how can that be fake?" Renee said coldly before proceeding to recount the events of the night before.
"What?" "The Premium Energy Nurturing Pills can get martial artists past bottlenecks?" "Are we hearing this right?"
Caleb and the others were all shocked.
At first, they agreed with Jayden and felt that the Premium Energy Nurturing Pills were merely a gimmick.
To their surprise, the pill got Jensen to the Emperor state.
Though the Semi-Emperor state and the Emperor state were merely a level apart, there was a big gap between them, and crossing it would be extremely challenging.
It seemed that the Premium Energy Nurturing Pill indeed helped Jensen past the bottleneck of his training.
This was practically a miracle and at that moment, they finally realized that the effect of the Premium Energy Nurturing Pills were true all along. They underestimated the pills' effect and Cynthion Group.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2603-"That's not possible! That's not possibly true!" Jayden was just as shocked as the others.
He thought that Renee was too naive to believe the false marketing Cynthion Group put up and even mocked her for it.
However, reality delivered a blow to him. Never in his dream did he expect that the Premium Energy Nurturing Pills could get martial artists past the bottleneck of their training.
In the end, he turned out to be a fool. He could not comprehend how Cynthion Group accomplished the impossible and could not bring himself to accept this.
"It's possible! The Premium Energy Nurturing Pill got Jensen to the Emperor State, but that's the least Cynthion Group can do! They even have pills that can get martial artists past multiple barriers in one go! You are just too arrogant to recognize these alchemical pills!” Renee smirked and returned Jayden's earlier mockery.
Her words struck the others to the core.
"Renee, what did you just say?" "Cynthion Group have pills that can get martial artists past multiple barriers? How is that possible?"
The others' jaws dropped and they exchanged looks of disbelief.
What Renee said was so shocking that it surpassed what she said about Jensen having a breakthrough using the Premium Energy Nurturing Pills.
For a moment, they could not believe that Cynthion Group could produce such powerful alchemical pills.
"Renee, your stories are getting more and more surreal. There's no shortcut in training as a martial artist so how can there be pills that help martial artists overcome several barriers at the same time? I think you are just exaggerating things to convince your grandfather!" Jayden said.
The Emperor state was a difficult level to reach so he never believed that Jensen ascended to it with the Premium Energy Nurturing Pills to begin with.
Now Renee's stories became more surreal as she claimed that Cynthion Group had pills that could get martial artists past several barriers.
It was so unbelievable that he could not help suspecting that Renee was just making things up to make Caleb cave.
"That's right!" "Renee, are you mistaken?"
Doubtful expressions appeared on Caleb's and the elders' faces.
They knew that the alchemical pills were made from rare herbs If Jensen got lucky and managed to get to the Emperor State. However, Renee claimed that there were pills that could get martial artists past multiple barriers.
This was just something unheard of.
When Jayden accused Renee of making things up to convince Caleb, they all felt that was possible.
For a moment, no one could tell if Renee was telling the truth or if she was lying as Jayden said.
"I'm not mistaken, nor am I bluffing to help Cynthion Group. I'm telling the truth,"
Renee said firmly.
"Truth? If that's the case, what evidence do you have?" Jayden scoffed.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2604-"I don't have Cynthion Group's alchemical pills so how can I present evidence?"
Renee frowned.
"If that's the case, it just means you can't prove what you said. Don't just make things up." Jayden sneered.
Since Renee could not present any evidence, he was certain that Renee was making things up when she said alchemical pills could get martial artists past multiple barriers, hoping to convince Caleb.
Since this was fake, what she said about Jensen getting to the Emperor State with the Premium Energy Nurturing Pill could be a lie as well.
Naturally, Caleb and the elders felt the same and became more doubtful.
"Why you!" Frustrated, Renee wanted to say something when an idea crossed her mind. "Uncle Jayden, you want evidence, right? I'll give you evidence." "Oh?
Sure! Present your evidence and show me if Cynthion Group produces alchemical pills that can get martial artists past multiple barriers." Jayden scoffed.
Though he did not know what proof Renee had, he knew that there was only one way for Renee to prove her words: she had to present the alchemical pills and perform a test right here and then or she could not be able to convince the others.
Still, he did not think that Cynthion Group could actually produce such powerful pills and since Renee did not work for Cynthion Group, she could not possibly possess any of the pills.
Before he could mock her, what happened next shocked them all.
"I don't have the pills with me and I can't test them in front of you.
However, if you don't believe in what I said, you can see what power level I'm in and you will know if I'm telling the truth," Renee said and released her true energy in the Emperor State.
"The Emperor State?" Everyone was stunned when they detected that her power level was in the Initial Emperor state.
State? How did you get to the Emperor State all of a sudden?" Hugo was shocked and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Renee was his sister and he knew her well. Hence, he knew that she was in the To his bewilderment, Renee somehow reached the Emperor State. This was so surreal that he was shaken to the core.
Naturally, the others were just as shocked as they all knew that Renee was in Emperor State.
It was practically a miracle and they would have never believed this to be true if they did not see it with their own eyes.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2605-"Renee, what's going on? How did you get to the Initial Emperor State all of a sudden?" Caleb snapped out of it and asked.
"Grandfather, it's all thanks to Hugh. Last night, he gave me alchemical pills during the bouquet that got me to the Emperor State," Renee explained and proceeded to recount the details.
"What? Does that mean that these pills can get martial artists past multiple barriers? You've gone past three barriers at once?" "How is that possible?"
Caleb and Jayden were all shocked.
Jayden was certain that Renee was making things up or exaggerating the effect of Cynthion Group's alchemical pills. To his bewilderment, she was telling the truth.
Not only did Cynthion Group produce pills that could get martial artists past multiple barriers, but they also helped Renee ascend to the Emperor State, skipping the Peak Overlord, Semi-Emperor, and Initial Emperor State at once.
Cynthion Group's alchemical pills were hardly what he originally imagined and they were even more powerful than how Renee described them.
This completely went against his knowledge of martial arts and for a moment, he could not help doubting everything he knew.
"Uncle Jayden, as you can see, here's the evidence you want. Is there anything else you'd like to say?" Renee said smugly and looked at Jayden with a mocking expression.
"I-" Jayden's expression darkened. He wanted to argue, but his words failed him.
After all, he was staring at the living proof of what Renee said.
With the help of the alchemical pills, Renee went past three barriers and ascended to the Emperor state.
This was enough to prove that Cynthion Group's alchemical pills could indeed get martial artists past the bottlenecks of their training and he was not given any room to doubt this any longer.
If the effects of the alchemical pills were as Leon claimed, it would be true that the Premium Energy Nurturing Pill got Jensen to the Emperor State as well.
What Renee said was the truth and she was not bluffing as he initially imagined.
Shocked, his expression darkened further. In the end, he could only quiet down and the arrogant look on his face disappeared.
"Great!" "The alchemical pills are powerful!" "We have been underestimating Cynthion Group!"
Caleb and the elders recovered from the shock and were all moved.
Hugo told them repeatedly that the alchemical pills had great potential and market value and tried his best to convince them to finalize the deal with Cynthion Group.
However, Cynthion Group was just a faceless pharmaceutical firm and they all underestimated its value, so none of them took Hugo's words seriously.
Upon learning what the alchemical pills could truly accomplish, they finally understood what Hugo was trying to do.
The Premium Energy Nurturing Pills could enhance martial artists' power and increase the chances of a breakthrough effectively, making them far better than ordinary herbs.
On top of that, there were even pills that could get martial artists past multiple barriers.
Though this might not be all that helpful for martial artists in the older generation, it could aid most families in increasing the strength of the younger martial artists and thus creating martial artists in the Emperor State.
For most families, including the Morrisons, martial artists in the Emperor State were the pillars of the family's strength.
If the alchemical pills could indeed produce martial artists in the Emperor State within a short period, their market values were unmeasurable.
Anyone who would partner with Cynthion Group would be able to seize control of the fate of all families in the western region.
At that moment, they finally realized how important the deal with Cynthion Group was.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2606-Seeing the change in their attitude, Hugo was overjoyed and immediately took the opportunity to persuade them. "Grandfather, since you've already learned the potential of Cynthion Group, you should probably agree to the terms Mister Wolf proposed before something unexpected happens…" "Yeah, Hugo is right!
Grandfather, a lot of the guests from last night fought for a chance to work with Cynthion Group. Fortunately, Hugh is a great person who honored his promise to Hugo. That’s why he didn't agree to work with anyone there. However, he already informed them that if things didn't work out with us, he would pick one of the guests from the bouquet to work with," Renee agreed along and recounted what happened the night before.
"I understand. Let's get to it right away. Hugo, which hotel is Hugo staying in?
Why don't you invite him over again to renegotiate? Inform him that we are willing to accept his proposal!" Caleb made his decision immediately and was ready to accept the deal.
However, the details would need to be sorted out and Hugo needed to invite Leon over for further discussion.
"Well…" Hugo hesitated.
"What's wrong, Hugo? Is there any issue?" Caleb asked in confusion.
"Grandfather, we were quite rude to Mister Wolf and he's already mad about it. I think that you should come to the hotel with me to meet with Mister Wolf. It would show that we are eager to form a partnership that way…" Hugo said hesitantly.
Leon came from the southern region to the western region to establish a partnership with the Morrisons, yet he ended up getting offended by their arrogance.
Leon was livid at the time and was even considering giving up on the deal. It was not until Hugo put in a few good words that Leon agreed to give the Morrisons another chance.
It was already quite generous of Leon to do so. Since Leon already showed his sincerity in the matter, the Morrisons should match that as well.
Hugo wanted Caleb to go to the hotel and meet with Leon to appease Leon's anger and show that the Morrisons were keen on the deal. This would benefit the deal.
"Well… that's alright! I will go to the hotel with you!" Caleb agreed as he too felt that they were too arrogant the day before.
To show his sincerity, it would be appropriate for him to speak to Leon directly about the partnership.
With that thought in mind, he stood and prepared to head out with Hugo.
Just then, Jayden stood abruptly. "Hang on! Father, you can't go to meet Mister Wolf with Hugo!" he said hastily.
"No? Why not?" Caleb was taken aback and looked at Jayden in confusion
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2607-"Dad, though these alchemical pills work great, Cynthion Group is still a small pharmaceutical firm. Mister Wolf is just the vice president and not the chairman.
For a man of your status to go to the hotel to meet with him, it would be degrading," Jayden.
"Well, he is right!" "Caleb, Cynthion Group doesn't belong to one of the powerful families in the southern region. Even if the chairman comes here, he can't rival you in terms of status, not to mention a mere vice president." "Since you've already agreed to the partnership, you can just get Hugo to invite Mister Wolf over. There's no need for you to go to meet him!"
The other elders agreed along.
Though they did not know much about the Cynthion Group, they knew that it did not belong to any influential families in the southern region.
The Morrisons, on the other hand, were the heads of all the families in the western region, which was something that the Cynthion Group could not compare.
Since they were all rude to Leon, it would look like they were apologizing if Caleb went to the hotel to meet with Leon.
None of them saw the point in going such distance for a mere vice president.
As the head of the Morrisons, Caleb represented their pride and honor, so they would never let him lower himself to apologize to Leon.
If words about this got out, the Morrisons would be the laughingstock of the western region.
"Uncle Jayden, elders, you can't think that way. Mister Wolf came all the way here, yet we didn't host him properly and even insulted him. I'm taking Grandfather to the hotel to meet with him so that we can perhaps treat him to a meal and discuss the details of the partnership. That will work out perfectly,"
Hugo explained.
He knew that the others were right. If Hugh was merely the vice president, having Caleb meet with him in person would be rather degrading. However, he also knew that Hugh was just a fake name Leon used and he was the chairman of Cynthion Group.
From a business point of view, Leon deserved to be received directly by the head of the family as that would be the most appropriate.
On top of that, the Morrisons offended Leon the day before and it seemed reasonable for Caleb to head to the hotel and meet with Leon in person.
If Hugo went to the hotel to bring Leon back to the Morrisons' mansion, it would seem as though they were bossing Leon around.
On top of that, the alchemical pills produced by Cynthion Group had great market value and the Morrisons were the ones who were more eager about the deal.
Any disrespectful act would only enrage Leon further. If Leon took it personally, the deal might be off for good and this would not benefit the Morrisons in any way.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2608-"Nonsense! Hugo, if you want to host this Mister Wolf, we can treat him to a meal after the collaboration is confirmed. Why is there the need for Father to meet with him in the hotel and apologize?" Jayden scoffed.
"Yeah!" "Caleb can't go to meet with Mister Wolf!"
The elders all agreed along.
"But," Unwilling to give up, Hugo wanted to argue when Jayden interrupted him.
"There's no but". If you think that going alone to the hotel is not respectful enough, I will go with you. That should be enough right?" Jayden said.
"You? No way!" Hugo was taken aback.
"Why not? Considering my status, we are already paying him respect for me to go to the hotel with you. Is that not enough?" Jayden said with annoyance.
As a direct descendent of the second generation, he was talented and long reached the Initial Almighty State despite being suppressed by Josiah.
His strength surpassed Josiah, who was only in the Semi-Almighty state.
It was no exaggeration to say that he was the actual leader of the second generation and was valued by Caleb and the elder.
Considering his talent and status in the family, it was already quite respectful for him to meet Hugh in the hotel.
He did not think that a mere vice president would dare to disrespect him unless Leon had a death wish.
"It's a good idea! Caleb, just let Jayden go to the hotel in your place and invite Mister Wolf over! That way, you won't need to lower yourself and we would be able to show that we are eager!"
The elders nodded and agreed to Jayden's suggestion.
From their perspectives, Hugh was merely a vice president, and having Jayden go over to the hotel was already rather flattering for Leon.
Leon should appreciate the gesture and come over to the Morrisons' mansion to negotiate terms with them happily.
"Alright, then! Hugo, go with your uncle to the hotel and meet with Mister Wolf!"
Caleb considered it and made up his mind.
Initially, he planned to go to the hotel himself, but what Jayden and the elders said made sense.
As the head of the family, it seemed degrading for him to go to the hotel and meet with Leon in person.
Since that was the case, he might as well get Jayden to represent him and that would solve all issues.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2609-"Well!" Hugo was stunned.
He knew that Jayden was arrogant and ignorant, so taking him to meet with Leon in the hotel might just make things worse. Hence, he was unwilling to do it.
However, Caleb and the elders were convinced by Jayden and all insisted that Hugo took him along.
No matter how hard he protested, no one would listen and he felt devastated.
Just then, Caleb's phone rang. He took it out to have a look and said, "It's from the third elder!" "Caleb, maybe he found something about Cynthion Group."
Realization dawned on the other elders.
Due to Hugo's tireless effort the day before, Caleb sent the third elder to the southern region to look into Cynthion Group's background before deciding if he wanted the collaboration at all.
Since the third elder was calling, they all knew that he likely found something.
"I think so!" Caleb said.
Though he already decided to accept Leon's terms and work with Cynthion Group, he still needed to know more about the company.
Since the third elder was calling with information about Cynthion Group, he decided that getting to know what he was dealing with would not harm him.
With that thought in mind, he answered the call. "Hello, did you find anything useful?" Caleb cut to the chase and asked.
"Caleb here's what I found," the third elder reported everything he found hastily.
Meanwhile, Jayden said to Hugo, "Hugo, why are you just standing there?
Let's just head to the hotel to meet with Mister Wolf!" "Oh, alright then!" Hugo said bitterly.
Since Caleb and the elders decided to send him and Jayden to meet with Leon and his protest was ignored, Hugo could only do as he was told and leave with Jayden.
He could only hope that Jayden could refrain from acting rude, instead of provoking Leon further with his arrogance like he did the day before.
If that happened, partnering with Cynthion Group would only become more challenging.
While he worried about what may happen, the situation took a drastic turn.
Caleb suddenly paled and his phone slipped out of his hand, breaking into pieces as it hit the ground.
"Caleb, what's wrong?" The elders were taken aback and exchanged confused looks, not knowing why Caleb was acting this way.
"Wait! Hugo, don't leave yet!" Caleb snapped out of it and ignored the elders ' question to stop Hugo and Jayden from leaving.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2610-"What do you need?" Jayden and Hugo both stopped and turned around in confusion.
"Jayden, something unexpected happened. Cynthion Group is far more powerful than we imagined. The two of you can't go to the hotel recklessly. " Caleb took a deep breath, his expression darkening.
Recalling what he heard from the third elder, he felt shaken and completely lost his composure.
"Cynthion Group is powerful? Dad, it's just a small pharmaceutical firm that doesn't even belong to any influential family! There's a limit to how powerful they can be!" Jayden was taken aback.
"Yeah!" "Caleb, we've never heard of Cynthion Group before this. If we aren't mistaken, it's just a new company in the southern region. You are overestimating them!"
The elders agreed along and did not take this seriously.
Like Jayden, they did not have much respect for Cynthion Group, which was normal.
The Morrisons were the most powerful family in the western region and as the elders, they saw plenty of things.
Judging from the fact that Cynthion Group just started running, even if they underestimated it, it would only mean that it had better potential than they initially thought.
None of them thought that Cynthion Group could gain much power within a short period.
"No, Cynthion Group isn't as simple as you think it is! Though it was recently established in the southern region, they have made a name for itself within a few months and they are starting to expand. The company's market value is unimaginable," Caleb said, before explaining what he learned about Cynthion Group.
From a business point of view, Cynthion Group had great potential and market value.
Through the tireless effort of Leon and his confidantes, Cynthion Group planted its roots in the southern region firmly and became one of the biggest enterprises.
Even some of the influential families in the western and southern regions would find themselves falling short in terms of wealth when compared to the Cynthion Group.
"So what? The world of martial artists honors strength above everything! Even if they are earning a lot, that just means they have money. In terms of strength, they can't possibly compare to us!" Jayden scoffed in contempt.
It was the law of the jungle that the strong preyed on the weak, and martial artists respected nothing apart from strength.
Strength and money were equally important. Though Cynthion Group's financial capability rivaled that of some of the most influential families, it would only be categorized at the ranks of the Feaks.
The Feaks were an ancient lineage of doctors and they accumulated tremendous wealth over the years. However, they lacked physical strength and that meant they could not compete with top-tier families.
The same thing could be said about Cynthion Group and before truly powerful families like the Morrisons, Cynthion Group could only submit. Otherwise, anyone could just destroy Cynthion Group as they wished.
No amount of money could help with that.
