Ch. 2621..2630
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2621-"We are staying here as well. We aren't going anywhere!" Caleb scoffed and made up his mind.
"What? No way!" Jayden was shocked.
"Why not? The others are staying as well, so why can't we?" Caleb asked in displeasure.
"But, Mister Wolf already said that he won't be back anytime soon. There's no point for US to wait here. Besides, he is just the vice president and not the chairman. Why should we all wait here for a mere vice president?" Jayden asked reluctantly.
He already learned that Leon was likely in the Peak Almighty state and dared not to look down on him.
If it was Leon himself visiting the western region, he did not mind waiting here.
However, Hugh was merely the vice president.
It was bad enough that they came for nothing, so Jayden could not possibly accept waiting here for someone with such low status.
"You fool! Shut up!" Caleb's expression darkened and roared at Jayden.
He knew that Hugh was just the vice president and not the chairman. However, it was precisely Leon that he feared.
At the moment, the deal with Cynthion Group was completely under Hugh's control and all the other families were staying to wait for him to work with Cynthion Group.
Without a choice, Caleb could only wait alongside them.
However, Jayden did not take Hugh seriously and even mocked him in front of the others.
This could put the Morrisons in a difficult situation as Hugh would never agree to work with them if what Jayden said was relayed to him somehow.
"I," Jayden dared not to argue and quieted down.
"You are such a disappointment!" Caleb's expression eased, but there was a distinct look of disappointment in his eyes.
Since Jayden's talent surpassed that of Josiah, Caleb and the elders had high hopes for Jayden.
There were even times when he considered training Jayden to be his successor.
However, after this event, he realized that Jayden was reckless and could not compare with Hugo or Josiah in terms of perceptiveness.
Feeling disappointed, he realized that he might need to reconsider who would take after him.
"What a shame!"
"It would have been great if the Morrisons left."
Seeing as Caleb and the others intended to stay, they were all slightly disappointed.
They would have preferred that Caleb took Jayden's advice and left. Once they were gone, the others would stand a better chance of convincing Leon to work with them.
Unfortunately, Caleb was not as foolish as Jayden and did not take his advice.
It was a shame, but there was not much they could do.
As for the contemptuous words Jayden said about Hugh, Caleb stopped him in time so others simply felt that Jayden was a reckless man and did not think much of it.
With that, Caleb and Hugo all stayed and waited for Leon to return.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2622-In the parking lot of the hotel, a black car drove in and stopped.
Then, an old man in his sixties along with two middle-aged men stepped out of the car.
They were all martial artists who worked with the Western Boss.
Unlike the situation with the Southern Boss, the western region had abundant rare herbs and martial artists here were generally stronger than ones in the southern region.
The Six Guardians that worked for the Western Boss were all much stronger, with them being in the Almighty state.
Though the old man, Diego, ranked low amongst the six Guardians, he also reached the Initial Almighty state.
The other two men were Milo and Enzo, two of the Semi-Almighty martial artists that the Western Boss trained himself.
After the fight between Felton and Leon, Felton was severely injured and he could not accept it.
Hence, he demanded that the Western Boss send capable martial artists to deal with Leon and steal Cynthion Group from him.
These three men were here to capture Leon under the Western Boss's order.
"Sir, I've already had my men look into it and that Hugh kid is staying in this hotel," Milo said.
"Sure. I don't know what the Western Boss is thinking. Why would he send all three of US to deal with a brat? He's overestimating this kid!" Diego frowned and said in contempt.
Though he did not know the extent of Leon’s strength, he already learned from the Western Boss that Leon was just a young man. Considering his age, there was no way that he could be that strong.
Yet, the Western Boss sent a martial artist in the Almighty state and two others in the Semi-Almighty state to deal with Leon.
It seemed excessive.
"Yeah. It's just a brat. He's nobody. Sir, you and Enzo don't have to do anything.
I can deal with him alone!" Milo said contemptuously.
As a martial artist in the Semi-Almighty state, he did not think that Leon had what it took to beat him.
He alone would be enough and the other two could just watch.
"Well, let's see what happens! In any case, let's capture him and hand him over to the Western Boss! He told me that this kid is useful to us so we must capture him alive," Diego spoke with confidence.
"Yes, sir!" Milo and Enzo said.
The three left the parking lot and walked into the hotel, before heading into the elevator to go to the floor where Leon's room was.
However, as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they were all stunned by the sight before them.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2623-"What's going on?" Diego, Milo, and Enzo were all shocked when they saw all the people gathering outside Loen's room.
When they had a clearer look, they were utterly shaken.
"Isn't that the head of the Rathbournes? Why is he here?" Diego rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
As one of the Western Boss's guardians, he saw plenty in the past and he recognized one of the people as the head of the Rathbournes, another influential family.
He could not quite understand why such a powerful figure would appear here.
It looked as though Elder Rathbourne was lining up and was even standing at the back of the queue.
This was so surreal that he was shaken.
"Sir, it's not just the head of the Rathbournes. The heads of the Faunts, the Cades, and the Dagleshs are here as well. They are all here."
Milo's eyes widened as he instantly recognized that the people before him were all heads or elders from influential families.
Shocked, he could not understand why these people would be here.
"Sir, look. Even the head of the most powerful family, Caleb Morrison is here as well," Enzo pointed at Caleb and froze in place.
As the head of the Morrisons, Caleb was even higher in status compared to the Western Boss.
To their bewilderment, Caleb and Elder Daglesh, along with others, were all waiting here respectfully.
This was so surreal that they could not believe what they were seeing.
"What's going on? who are they waiting for? who on earth has the right to have these people wait for them?" Diego recovered from the initial shock and struggled to regain his composure.
Though he did not know who they were waiting for, he knew that there was not a person, including the Western Boss, who could make Caleb and Elder Daglesh wait.
Hence, he could not figure out who they were waiting for.
"Sir, can they be waiting for Hugh Wolf?" Enzo asked.
The three of them came to deal with Leon and learned ahead of time that Hugh's room was right up ahead.
Since all these people were waiting outside Hugh's room, it seemed possible that they were waiting for Hugh.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2624-"What? Are they all waiting for Hugh?" Realization dawned on Diego.
He knew that Hugh's room lay ahead and all these people were likely waiting for Hugh.
Still, he soon felt that something was off.
Leon was merely an insignificant young man, so there was no reason for all these influential figures to wait outside his room.
It seemed impossible.
"Milo, are you sure that is Hugh's room? Can you be mistaken?" A thought crossed his mind and he turned to Milo, suspecting that there was an issue with his investigation.
Enzo felt the same and turned to Milo in confusion.
"No! Sir, I investigated in detail and there can't be any mistake. I guarantee that we are looking at Hugh's room right now," Milo said confidently.
"Well," Both Diego and Enzo were stunned.
They knew that Milo was a cautious man and it was unlikely that he was mistaken.
Since he was certain, the room ahead probably belonged to Hugh, which meant that Caleb and the others were all waiting for Hugh.
How was that possible?
None of them could understand how a young lad like Hugh had all these powerful figures waiting outside his room, and this completely changed the way they viewed Hugh.
For a moment, they questioned everything they knew.
"Damn it! Sir, what should we do now? Should we go and capture Hugh?" Enzo snapped out of it and asked, his face pale.
"How exactly are we going to capture him? With all these people around, any one of them could easily kill us! They will take US down before we can even reach Hugh!" Diego said darkly.
"Well," Enzo and Milo fell into silence as they knew Diego was right.
Both Caleb and Elder Daglesh were heads of powerful families and they were all in the Intermediate Almighty state or above.
powerful than the Western Boss.
With so many formidable figures waiting outside Leon's room, they must have a death wish to try and do anything to Hug.
"Forget it. Something isn't right about this kid! Let's head back and report this to Western Boss. He will make the call!" Diego said thoughtfully.
With Caleb and Elder Daglesh around, he dared not to capture Hugh and intended to plan his next step after reporting this to the Western Boss.
"Sure!" Enzo and Milo were both relieved.
All these formidable martial artists before them left them feeling intimidated, so they desperately wished they could get away before something went wrong.
Not daring to get any closer, they immediately retraced their track and left.
Ironically, they all assumed that Leon was just a young man and no one saw him as a threat.
As they left, they were as embarrassed as they were confident earlier.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2625-On Leon’s end, he followed Roman to the Morrisons' mansion and obtained the Rainbow Fruit.
After bidding farewell, he followed Fletcher to the Dragon Corps.
Just then, he received a call from Hugo and learned that the Morrisons agreed to his terms, intending to work with Cynthion Group.
He came to the western region specifically to establish a partnership with the Morrisons to expand Cynthion Group’s market.
The Morrisons agreeing to the terms worked perfectly to his advantage.
Initially, he wanted to hurry back to the hotel to discuss further terms with Caleb and the others.
However, he already agreed to go to the Dragon Corps and Fletcher was extremely sincere when he extended the invitation, so Leon could not possibly go back on his words.
Hence, he could only tell Hugo and the others to wait at home and they could discuss further when he came back.
Fletcher felt glad that he followed Leon to the Morrisons' mansion, after all.
otherwise, Leon might have given up on going to the Dragon Corps.
With that, Leon followed Fletcher, Howard, and another Dragon Guard to the western branch of the Dragon Corps.
In the National Security Department, Leon and the others were heading to the Dragon Corps' branch through the National Security Department.
"Hang on!" Howard stopped. "Mister Wolf, it's our base ahead and unrelated personals are not allowed inside, why don't you stay here and wait for Fletcher?" he said and reached out an arm to stop Leon.
He did not know why Fletcher insisted on bringing Leon here, but he knew that ordinary people were not allowed inside and there was no way he would allow an outsider like Leon to barge inside.
"It's fine. Howard, Mister Wolf is special and not an outsider. He can just follow US un!" Fletcher said with a smile.
"What do you mean? Fletcher, you know the rules. If you want to bring him in, you need to at least inform Mister Orpwood about this. He can't enter unless Mister Orpwood says so!" Howard said with displeasure.
"It is fine! Howard, I've already told you that Mister Wolf is special. We don't need to report to Mister Orpwood ahead of time," Fletcher paused and glanced at Leon, silently asking if he could inform Howard Leon's true identity.
Back on the mountain, he could not do so because the Morrisons were present.
However, there were no outsiders around at the moment, and he felt that he could tell Howard the truth.
Still, he needed to seek Leon's approval before that.
However, before Leon had the chance to do so, Howard said, "You, you're being a fool! Forget it. If you want to take him in, do as you please. If this enrages Mister Orpwood, don't blame me for not warning you!"
He felt that bringing Leon along was inappropriate all along and tried to talk Fletcher out of it multiple times.
Yet, Fletcher refused to listen and insisted on bringing Leon into the base of the Dragon Corps.
This frustrated him, so he decided not to get involved and strode inside without hesitation.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2626-"Mister Wolf, let's go in as well. Ever since Mister Orpwood knew about what happened with the Poisonwielder, he has been desperate to meet you. I'll take you to him first and then to a few other old friends, how about it?" Fletcher asked.
"Sure. I want to talk to Mister Orpwood about the Southern Boss as well!" Leon nodded.
He followed Fletcher to the Dragon Corps' office because of his enthusiastic invitation to reunite with a few old friends. On the other hand, he already found out that the Southern Boss was hiding in the western region and committed horrible crimes.
Hence, he needed to discuss with Mister Orpwood and seek his help to track the Southern Boss down.
After all, the western region was vast and no one knew where the Southern Boss was hiding.
Leon could not possibly find the Southern Boss on his own. If he had the help of Mister Orpwood and the Dragon Guards, it would be much easier.
"Also, do I have permission to tell others about your actual identity?" Fletcher asked.
"Well, sure! There's no outsider here, so you can go ahead!" Leon said.
He hid his name and identity on the mission to pursue the Poisonwielder because Alfred warned him about it in case the mission failed.
Also, the Tiddertons were present at the time and it would not be appropriate for Leon to expose his identity.
However, they were now in the Dragon Corps' branch without others, so there would be no harm in revealing his identity.
Since Fletcher was about to take him to Mister Orpwood, it would be impossible for him to hide his identity any longer if he wished to talk about the Southern Boss.
"Alright, then!" Fletcher felt more at ease with Leon's permission.
Without further delay, he led Leon into the building.
Meanwhile, in Mister Orpwood's office, Leon soon met Mister Orpwood as they stepped inside.
He was a man in his fifties. With a serious look on his face, he radiated a sense of authority and one could easily tell that he was someone formidable.
At the moment, Howard stood before Mister Orpwood.
He was one step ahead of Fletcher and Leon, so he was currently explaining the situation of the Morrisons seeking help and the Southern Boss committing murder. 1 Fletcher and Leon's arrival interrupted the report.
"Mister Orpwood." Fletcher bowed respectfully.
"Fletcher, who is this? You know the rules. You aren't supposed to bring an outsider in here!" Mister Orpwood said with displeasure when he saw Fletcher stepping in with an unfamiliar young man.
The Dragon Corps was a special organization and unrelated personnel were not allowed inside.
However, Fletcher took someone in and interrupted an important report without permission, so this upset Mister Orpwood.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2627-"Fletcher, why are you doing this?" Howard sighed when he heard Mister Orpwood.
He already told Fletcher not to bring an outsider into the building. Yet, Fletcher refused to listen to reasons and even brought Leon to meet Mister Orpwood.
This was foolish of him and he would likely be punished for it.
However, what happened next shook him.
"Mister Orpwood, this is Mister Hugh Wolf. He's not an outsider," Fletcher said.
Just as he was about to inform Mister Orpwood of Leon's identity, he was interrupted.
"Hugh Wolf? That sounds so familiar," Mister Orpwood was taken aback and soon recalled something.
Sensing his shock, Fletcher smiled and explained, "Mister Orpwood, he's the one who took the Poisonwielder down on his own." "What? It is him! Wonderful!"
Mister Orpwood was shocked and stood abruptly.
When he heard the name Hugh, he already guessed who Loen was. upon hearing Fletcher's affirmation, he burst into laughter.
"Mister Wolf, we've finally met again! I've already heard about how you eliminated the Poisonwielder and other heroic acts you committed. I'm so pleased to meet you in person!" He walked around the table and approached Leon, before shaking his head with an impressed look on his face.
"You are too kind, Mister Orpwood. It's my pleasure to meet you today," Leon smiled modestly.
"Very impressive! You are formidable, yet modest about it. What a hero!" Mister Orpwood smiled.
Not only was Leon capable, but he was also modest and kind.
He was far more impressive than Mister Orpwood imagined.
"What? How is this possible?" Howard rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
He initially thought that Mister Orpwood would punish Fletcher for bringing Loen over without permission.
To his bewilderment, Mister Orpwood's reaction was completely different from what he anticipated.
Not only did he not punish Fletcher, but he also seemed rather impressed by Leon.
Howard never saw Mister Orpwood praising someone so much, so it was unbelievable.
"Fletcher, what's going on?" Snapping out of it, Howard asked in confusion.
"Howard, I told you that Mister Wolf is special. He works for the Dragon Corps as well and is a Platinum Dragon Guard! When we worked with the Dragon Guards from the southern region to take the Poisonwielder down, he was the one who saved US all and took the Poisonwielder down on his own," Fletcher explained.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2629-"Oh, is that so? Mister Orpwood, do tell what Mister Wolf is capable of." Howard did not take what Mister Orpwood said seriously.
Though Leon was strong for a young man, the top martial artists in the Thirteen Greats were comparable to Leon as well and Howard saw no reason to put Leon in such high regard.
From his perspective, Leon was only lucky enough to obtain a powerful treasure and he did not think that Leon possessed actual strength apart from that.
It was not like he could defeat the Poisonwielder without the treasure.
However, what happened next shook him to his core.
"Howard, I'll tell you the truth. Mister Wolf here took down the Demon Lord recently and injured the Southern Boss. Hades showed up at the last moment and ran with the Southern Boss. If even the Demon Lord and the Southern Boss can’t defeat him, no treasure could affect Mister Wolf's true power," Mister Oprwood said.
The Demon Lord ranked third place on the criminal list and was so for over a decade. Even Dargon Guards from the central region struggled to take him down or capture him, and this was proof of just how powerful the Demon Lord was.
Because of that, Alfred reported to the central region to remove the Demon Lord's name from the criminal list as soon as Leon eliminated him.
This shook the Dragon Corps branch in all different regions.
Considering how powerful and cunning the Demon Lord was, no one expected the Dragon Corps in the southern region to eliminate him.
This was practically a miracle.
However, Leon's identity was confidential so Alfred did not include that information.
Hence, the others only knew that the Demon Lord was eliminated by the Dragon Guards in the southern region, and that was what Mister Orpwood thought as well.
He was curious as to which Dragon Guard accomplished the impossible and asked Alfred about it multiple times.
Unable to stand him, Alfred considered the fact that Leon once crossed paths with the western branch over the mission concerning the Poisonwielder and told the truth in the end.
To get Mister Orpwood’s help to search for the Southern Boss, Alfred also informed him that Hugh injured the Southern Boss, so Mister Orpwood knew the details about the event.
This was precisely why he was impressed by Leon.
"What? Mister Orpwood, did you just say that Mister Wolf here killed the Demon Lord? On top of that, he injured the Southern Boss?" "Are we hearing this right?" Both Howard and Fletcher were shocked.
Since the Demon Lord was a famous figure, they both heard that the Demon Lord was eliminated and that he was removed from the criminal list. However, they never knew who was responsible for it.
To their bewilderment, it was Hugh who did it. On top of that, it was accomplished when both the Demon Lord and the Southern Boss worked together.
It was so surreal that none of them could believe it.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2630-"Of course! Alfred from the Dragon Corps in the southern region told me this, so how can it be wrong? Mister Wolf is probably stronger than even me,' Mister Orpwood nodded with respect.
He once saw Hug, but Hugh wore a mask at the time to cover his face so this was the second time he met Hugh.
When he first saw Hugh, Hugh took down the Poisonwielder all by himself, and now, he took the Demon Lord down as well.
Leon's righteousness impressed him.
On top of that, the Demon Lord was close to reaching the Peak Almighty State.
Though Mister Orpwood himself recently reached the Peak Almighty state as well using the rare herbs found in the western region, the Demon Lord was known to be ruthless and cunning.
If they fought, he may not be able to defeat the Southern Boss, not to mention if If they teamed up against him, even Mister Orpwood himself would be at a disadvantage.
However, they ended up dead and injured when they teamed up against Hugh.
That was how Mister Orpwood knew Hugh was far stronger than him.
He was deeply moved by Leon's strength and his personality.
"Well," Howard and Fletcher were both stunned.
Howard, who fought Leon before, thought that Leon was weak when Leon failed to fend off his attack.
To his bewilderment, that could not be further from the truth.
He knew the strength of both the Demon Lord and the Southern Boss. They than Howard, who was only in the Intermediate Almighty State.
Either one of them could easily defeat him, yet Leon managed to take them both at the same time and kill the Demon Lord, before injuring the Southern Boss in the end.
This only proved that Leon was far stronger than Howard and he could not hold a candle to Leon's strength.
Realization dawned on him and he realized Leon simply did not exert full strength when he attacked Leon on the mountain.
Thankfully, Fletcher knew Leon and managed to mediate the misunderstanding in time. Otherwise, he would have attacked Leon and once Leon exerted full strength, he would suffer the consequences.
"Mister Wolf, I didn't expect you to be so powerful at such a young age. You surpassed my imagination," Fletcher was deeply impressed by Leon's power as well.
He initially thought that Leon managed to defeat the Poisonwielder with his treasure and luck. It was not until this moment that he realized he underestimated Leon.
Even the Demon Lord and the Southern Boss could not rival Leon and ended up dying or injured.
It was clear that the Poisonwielder was no match for Leon from the very beginning.
