Ch. 2661..2670
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2661-The Morrisons took on a similar strategy as well.
Having almost lost the chance to work with Cynthion Group, Caleb cherished the hope that Renee salvaged.
He cast his ego aside and put on his most sincere attitude to fight for this opportunity.
Both the Dagleshs and the Morrisons showed extreme eagerness in the matter and Leon was at a loss.
From the Cynthion Group's perspective, the Morrisons were the head of all families in the western region with great influence. On top of that, Hugo already gathered all the herbs he needed to produce the alchemical pills so almost everything was in place.
It may be more appropriate for him to work with the Morrisons.
However, the Morrisons' elders were far too arrogant and Jayden was a troublemaker. This left Leon with a horrible impression and he was concerned that similar events would occur again once they established a partnership. This would hardly benefit Cynthion Group's future development in any way.
The Dagleshs, on the other hand, were honest and sincere. It would be a safer option to work with the Dagleshs. However, the Dagleshs were slightly less powerful than the Morrisons.
Furthermore, they would need to search for the herbs they needed from scratch.
Despite how hard he considered, both families had their strengths and weaknesses.
Instantly, he found himself at a crossroads and he could not decide which family was the most suitable partner for Cynthion Group.
Outside the room, Leon, the Morrisons, and the Dagleshs completed the initial discussion of terms.
"Elder Morrison, and Elder Daglesh, you both seem very sincere and I can't make a decision at this moment. How about you go home for now? Give me some time to consider. I'll give you an answer within three days," Leon said thoughtfully and decided to give this matter more thought before making the decision.
"Well, sure! Mister Wolf, well go now, then," Caleb and the others said.
They all knew that this was a rather big decision to make and it was normal that Leon needed more time to consider.
They could all empathize with that, so they bid their farewell and left.
In the Morrisons' mansion, Caleb summoned all the elders over for a meeting in the main hall.
"Caleb, welcome back! How did the discussion go?"
"Have we secured the opportunity to work with Cynthion Group?"
The elders asked hastily as soon as they arrived.
"Not yet," Caleb shook his head with a dark expression.
"Not yet?” "That can't be."
"We're already agreeing to the profit division Hugh proposed, so why isn't he agreeing to work with US?" The elders were taken aback.
They all thought that with Caleb representing the Morrisons, they should be able to secure the deal now that they agreed to Hugh's condition.
To their bewilderment, they were wrong and Caleb did not manage to convince Hugh.
This caught them by surprise and they were all shocked.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2662-’It's all Hugh's fault. He promised in front of everyone that he would prioritize US. In the end, he saw all the families fighting for a chance to work with Cynthion Group and went back on his words. He made US compete with the Dagleshs so that he could profit more! Damn him!” Jayden said in frustration.
He only tried to convince others to team up against Leon because he was worried that Leon would play hard to get once he knew he had so many options.
He might then try to lower the profit he offered to his partner for his gain.
After that, Leon changed his mind about the Morrisons and Jayden dismissed it as Leon's tactic.
When Leon met with both the Morrisons and the Dagleshs, this confirmed what he assumed and he was certain that Leon was trying to obtain more profit by making this a competition.
’How dare you blame Hugh at this point? Aren't you embarrassed of yourself? If you didn't cause trouble, things wouldn't have worsened to this extent!" Caleb was livid and landed a fierce kick on Jayden.
Baam!
Jayden grunted in pain and stumbled, coming close to falling.
Luckily, he was already kicked multiple times by Caleb at the hotel and got used to it. In the end, he maintained his balance and prevented himself from falling.
"Dad, I'm just telling the truth. Can't you tell that Hugh's making US compete with the Dagleshs on purpose? He simply didn't make the final choice because he wants to obtain more profit!" Jayden said, feeling like he saw through Hugh's thoughts.
"You, you're beyond saving!" Caleb was furious.
Back in the hotel, he already realized how foolish Jayden was. Jayden could not even compare with Josiah and Hugo in terms of perceptiveness.
After that, Jayden acted recklessly and came close to ruining the Morrisons ' chance to work with Cynthion Group.
Caleb thought that Jayden would at least realize that he was wrong. To his surprise, Jayden refused to recognize his mistakes and even blamed it all on Hugh.
This was extremely foolish of him.
Instantly, he was livid and disappointed.
"Caleb, what's this?"
"What happened?"
The other elders were baffled by this argument.
"Elders, here’s what happened," Hugo explained what happened at the hotel in Caleb's place.
"What?" After listening to Hugo, the elders were all shocked and finally realized why Caleb did not manage to secure the deal.
It seemed like Jayden was foolish enough to dream of teaming up with others to control Hugh, only to end up failing and coming close to costing the Morrisons the chance to partner with Cynthion Group.
Thankfully, Renee was quick on her feet and managed to salvage the situation.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2663-'This is indeed your fault, Jayden! It's a good thing that Renee managed to get us another chance and there's still hope that we can work with Cynthion Group."
'We hope that you can learn from your mistakes."
The elders sighed.
Jayden was a talented martial artist and they all had high hopes for him.
Though Jayden came close to messing up the deal between the Morrisons and Cynthion Group, they did not reprimand Jayden harshly and simply reminded him to to not repeat the same mistake.
"I-" Jayden's expression darkened.
He thought that he only acted out of concern for his family's gain as he wanted to fight for more profit for the Morrisons. At the time, most people agreed with his point of view and that was why he decided to tell Leon about it.
However, everyone ended up blaming him for it and he could not figure out why.
Still, he could tell that Caleb was furious and dared not to argue further to avoid enraging him further.
In the end, he could only swallow his pride and quiet down.
"Alright! Go back to your room. You're grounded for a month. Reflect on your own mistakes. You are not to come out until you recognize your mistakes!"
Caleb roared.
At the same time, he regretted agreeing to Jayden's request and bringing him to the hotel to meet with Hugh. If he refused Jayden, the situation would not have escalated to this point.
However, it was all too late.
Jayden was still his son and he could not do much to punish him.
However, Jayden did come close to ruining the Morrisons' chance to work with Cynthion Group. This would have cost them tremendous loss, so he decided to ground Jayden for a month.
'But I- Okay." Jayden opened his mouth hesitantly.
Though he did not think he did anything wrong, being grounded for a month was not a big deal. To avoid enraging Caleb further, he reluctantly accepted the punishment.
With that, he left to reflect on his mistakes.
Once Jayden was gone, Hugo consoled Caleb and changed the subject back to the deal with Cynthion Group. "Grandfather, calm down. It's already happened and it doesn't matter if it's Uncle's fault. Right now, we need to find a way to beat the Daglesh to work with Cynthion Group."
Compared to how Jayden was punished, it was far more important to consider how they could defeat the Dagleshs.
Hugo put a lot of effort into securing a deal with Cynthion Group and he did not wish for that opportunity to be given to the Dagleshs in the end.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2664-"Hugo's right! The alchemical pills produced by Cynthion Group are highly profitable."
"We must find a way to work with them. We can't let them work with the Dagleshs instead!"
The elders immediately agreed with Hugo.
"So now you finally know that it's important to work with Cynthion Group. What were you all doing at the beginning, then? When Hugh came to the mansion to discuss terms with you, neither of you agreed to it. You brought this all upon yourselves! Renee scoffed and shot the elders a mocking look.
"Well," The elders were all rendered speechless as what she said was the truth.
If they did not act so arrogantly and attempted to profit more from Hugh, they would be Cynthion Group's official partner by now and would not need to compete against the Dagleshs.
Therefore, none of them could argue with Renee.
"Renee, don't blame them. They aren't the only ones responsible. I played a part in this as well! If I listed to Hugo from the start, things wouldn't have worsened to this extent," Caleb sighed guiltily.
After going through so much, he finally realized that he was wrong, but it seemed to be too late.
"Caleb, what should we do now?" the other elders asked, unsure of what they should do.
"I don't know. I called you here to discuss a solution. Does any of you have a good idea to beat the Daglesh to obtain the opportunity to work with Cynthion Group?" Caleb shook his head and explained his intention to summon the elders.
Though Hugh gave the Morrisons another chance and allowed them to compete with the Dagleshs under Renee's effort, Caleb knew that they offended Hugh repeatedly and left a horrible impression.
The Dagleshs would surely be at an advantage and the Morrisons would need to find a way to defeat them.
If they simply sat on their thumbs, Hugh would likely choose to work with the Dagleshs in the end and Caleb could not let that happen.
"Well," The elders exchanged glances and recognized Caleb's concern.
They all fell into silence as they contemplated if there was a way to obtain the opportunity to work with Cynthion Group before the Dagleshs.
Shortly after, the eldest elder said hesitantly, "Caleb, I haven't come up with any good idea, but Hugo knows Mister Wolf and they are somewhat close. Why don't we send Hugo to speak with Mister Wolf in private? Perhaps Mister Wolf would choose to work with US out of respect for their friendship."
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2665-"Yeah, that's a good idea." "We can let Hugo try!"
The elders' eyes lit up and they all agreed with the suggestion.
'Well, alright! Hugo, how about you go and speak with Mister Wolf in private?"
Caleb considered it and felt that it was an acceptable solution.
Though it may not resolve their concerns, it could at least increase the chance of obtaining a partnership with Cynthion Group.
Apart from that, Caleb and the elders could not think of anything else.
’No, it won't work! I've only met Mister Wolf once in the southern region and we aren't exactly that close. Even if I go to him, he wouldn't just choose to work with the Morrisons for the sake of a mere acquaintance!" Hugo shook his head and rejected the idea.
’I see," Caleb and the elders were disappointed.
They all knew that they all offended Hugh. Because Hugo was not a close friend of Hugh, there was no point for him to seek a private audience with Leon.
Before they could get disheartened, Hugo said, "Grandfather, I have an idea. • Realization dawned on Hugo and he revealed an excited look.
"Oh? What is it? Go ahead and tell us!" Caleb and the elders asked.
'Mister Wolf came to the western region to expand into the market here and establish a branch. Given the limitation of his connection here in the western region, it would be rather difficult for him to build a branch from scratch.
If we can help him acquire a pharmaceutical firm to resolve this issue, he will likely choose to partner with US instead," Hugo explained in detail.
He was the only one who knew that Hugh was not just a vice president, but Leon, the chairman of Cynthion Group.
Leon came to the western region partly because he wished to establish a branch here.
The Dagleshs only knew Hugh as the vice president and did not know his true identity. Hence, there was no way that they knew Leon planned to establish a branch in the western region.
So long as the Morrisons got ahead of the Daglesh to resolve the challenges of establishing a branch, they would be able to beat the Daglesh and secure the deal with Cynthion Group.
'That's a great idea!" Caleb and the elders were all overjoyed.
Though they did not know that Hugh was the chairman, they were all experienced to be able to tell that Hugo's plan was perfect.
However, upon further consideration, Caleb noticed something off.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2666-"Hugo, Mister Wolf is an esteemed guest of the Dragon Corps. He is close with Mister Carn and Mister Caldicot. It's not like he has no connection here in the western region. If he wants to establish a branch here, won't he seek their help?
If we get ahead of ourselves and build one for him, it may not work out well and our efforts will be in vain!" Caleb said.
"He won't! The Dragon Corps is a governmental corporation, not an enterprise.
Mister Wolf won't just go asking for their help over business matters. Besides, he hasn't started preparing for the branch. Even if he is to seek Mister Carn and Mister Caldicot's help, it would be a few days from now. We can acquire a pharmaceutical firm for him before that and all issues would be resolved then!"
Hugo said confidently.
Establishing a branch was a time-consuming matter and it could not be done over a short period. The best solution at the moment was to acquire a pharmaceutical firm in Leon's place.
Considering the Morrisons' influence and connection in the western region, they would only need a few days to accomplish this.
It was far more convenient than building a new branch from scratch and they could get it done before Loen could seek help from the Dragon Corps.
Meanwhile, Leon came alone and did not intend to stay in the western region for long.
If the Morrisons could acquire a pharmaceutical firm for Cynthion Group, this would fit perfectly in Loen's plan.
"Sure. Let's do that then! Hugo, you know Cynthion Group better than the rest of us so I'll leave this to you," Caleb said.
"Of course! Renee, go to the hotel to spend time with Mister Wolf whenever you are free. Do your best to stall and don't let him hand the opportunity to the Dagleshs. As for the pharmaceutical firm, I will take care of that," Hugo said to Renee.
Though he already thought of a good solution and was prepared to acquire a pharmaceutical firm for Leon, this would take time.
Before he could do so, he was worried that Leon might decide to work with the Dagleshs instead.
Hence, he told Renee to spend more time with Leon so that she could stop him if he tried to ally with the Daglesh.
"Sure!" Renee nodded immediately.
Upon learning that Leon was capable of taking down the Demon Lord and injuring the Southern Boss, she was extremely curious about him.
She only followed Caleb and Hugo to the hotel to see Hugh because she wanted to learn more about Leon through Hugh.
However, due to Jayden's interference, Hugh was provoked and she did not have the chance to ask him about Leon.
Now that Hugo was asking her to spend more time with Hugh, this was exactly what she wanted.
She could take the opportunity to ask Hugh more about Leon and satisfy her curiosity.
She was unaware that Hugh was actually Leon and would have felt differently if she had known about it.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2667-Meanwhile, on Leon's end.
He drank quite a bit at the Dragon Corps and was feeling a little tired.
After the Dagleshs and the Morrisons left, he showered and changed into a white, clean bathing robe, preparing to rest.
Bang, bang!
Just then, someone knocked on his door hastily.
"Who is it?" Confused, Leon did not think much of it and went to open the door.
However, something unexpected happened when he opened the door.
A wave of powerful true energy rushed in, catching him off-guard.
Without hesitation, he dodged the attack.
At the same time, an old man and two middle-aged men stormed in.
They were none other than Diego, Enzo, and Milo who worked for the Western Boss.
They were here under the Western Boss's order to capture Leon.
"Huh? Kid, I didn't expect you to be capable of dodging my attack. You are quite something!" Milo was quite surprised after barging in.
He was the one who sent off that wave of true energy.
Being in the Semi-Almighty State, he assumed that was enough to defeat Leon and did not expect Leon to dodge it with ease.
This was rather surprising, still, he learned from Felton ahead of time that and his agility level might have reached the Semi-Almighty state.
Hence, it seemed normal that Leon managed to dodge his attack with speed and Milo did not think much of it.
"Why are you three? Why are you ambushing me?" Leon regained his balance and stared sharply at the three.
"I don't mind telling you the truth. Listen well, we all work for the Western Boss.
Under the Western Boss and Mister Felton's order, we are here to capture you,"
Milo said proudly.
vulnerable to the three of them, who were far stronger than him.
Leon's agility would not be helpful in this situation and they should be able to capture him with ease.
Since Leon's fate was decided and he could not escape them, Milo saw no reason why he should refrain from telling Leon who sent them.
"I see." Realization dawned on Leon.
He injured Felton severely outside Jaxon's mansion the night before.
Upon learning that these three worked for the Western Boss, he immediately realized that Felton sent them over to avenge what happened.
Naturally, he was unaware that this was not just about revenge.
Both the Western Boss and Felton already found out that he was Leon and wanted to take Cynthion Group from him.
"Kid, let's cut to the chase. I'll give you one chance. If you know what's best for you, come with US to see the Western Boss and Mister Felton. That way, you can save yourself some pain!" Milo threatened.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2668-"Like you can make me do anything. What a joke!" Leon scoffed and looked at Milo in contempt.
When Milo launched his attack earlier, Leon detected that he was in the SemiAlmighty State.
for someone in the Semi-Almighty State.
"How arrogant! Do you have a death wish?" Milo was furious.
He could not stand being looked down on by a young man and was infuriated by Leon's attitude.
"Milo, don't bother chit-chatting with him. This kid is oddly swift. Let's all work together and capture him to fulfill the Western Boss's order," Enzo said coldly.
"Judging from how Leon dodged Milo's attack, he could tell that Leon was oddly swift. To avoid any unexpected incident, he did not bother to waste any more time and decided to attack alongside Milo and Diego.
"It's fine. I told you that I could handle this brat on my own. There’s no need for all three of US to fight him at the same time!" Milo said proudly and stopped Enzo.
Back in the hotel parking lot, he once said that he would take care of Leon on his own.
Leon’s arrogant tone enraged him, so he intended to keep his word and teach Leon a lesson to vent his frustration.
"Well, alright, then! We'll stay back, then!" Enzo nodded hesitantly.
Though Leon was quite swift, agility meant nothing in the face of absolute power.
Milo was already in the Semi-Almighty State and it should not be challenging at all for him to capture Leon.
Hence, Enzo saw no reason to interfere.
Diego, on the other hand, was a senior and did not wish to fight a young brat like Leon if possible. Otherwise, if words got out, his reputation may be affected.
Since Milo requested to fight Leon alone, this worked in Diego's favor.
He and Enzo both took a step backward to seal the exit and prevent Leon from running with his godly speed.
"I'll save you the trouble. Why don't the three of you come at me together?"
Leon said in contempt and hooked his finger at the three of them.
That way, he could finish them off soon and go to sleep.
"How arrogant! If you are in such a hurry to meet your demise, I'll give you a hand!" Milo laughed angrily and launched a powerful attack at Leon.
"Milo, destroy him and show him the price of acting so arrogantly!" Diego said viciously.
Like the other two, he was also provoked by Leon's attitude. However, Diego and Enzo already promised to step behind, so they did not leap into action.
On top of that, the Western Boss's order was the capture Leon alive and they did not mind if Leon was losing a limb or two.
This way, they could teach Leon a lesson by challenging them.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2669-"How dare you act all tough when this is all you got! Know your place!" Leon scoffed at Milo's attack.
He took one step forward and launched an attack on Milo.
"Die, kid!" Milo narrowed his eyes sharply when he saw Leon facing him headon.
Due to Felton's misleading information, he was certain that Leon was in the other tricks into account.
Once in a fight, Milo could tell from Leon's explosive power and speed that he This was miles away from the Semi-Almighty state he was in, so he did not see Leon as a threat.
He followed Diego's order and strengthened his attack, intending to destroy Leon with a single blow to vent his frustration.
"Know your place!" Diego and Enzo sneered and stared at Leon as though they were looking at a fool.
State.
He was no match for Milo.
If Leon continued to utilize his agility to dodge around, he might be able to last a while longer.
However, Leon foolishly gave up on dodging and faced Felton directly.
This was practically suicidal.
If they were not mistaken, Milo would be able to disable Leon with a single blow and that was the only way how things would go.
In the next moment, what happened shook them to the core.
Baam!
Following a deafening sound, Leon's attack clashed with Felton's true energy. 1 Felton's true energy tore through Leon's attack and spiritual energy, its aftermath darting toward Leon.
Leon did not panic and tilted his body to take the blow with the Mirror of Sovereign on his chest.
At the same time, he launched a Double Attack and his true energy in the speed of lightning. 1 "What? What's this?" Sensing Leon's true energy, Milo was left in shock.
match for him. Hence, he should not be able to fend off his attack. 1 To his bewilderment, Leon fended off the attack with ease and remained unscathed.
On top of that, Leon managed to launch yet another attack while he was still on the momentum of the first attack.
This caught him off-guard.
Milo himself was on the momentum of his initial attack and could not dodge Leon's attack even if he wanted to.
He widened his eyes and watched as Leon's attack landed on him. 1
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2670-Baam!
Following a deafening sound, Milo was not given time to react and was instantly sent flying. He slammed hard against the coffee table behind him and rolled off to the ground.
As soon as he landed, a sharp pain pierced through his chest and he spat blood. His face was pale and he suffered from severe internal injury.
Thankfully, Leon was not powerful enough to cause any permanent damage.
Otherwise, he would have suffered far more than internal injury.
"Milo was defeated? How is this possible?" Both Diego and Enzo rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
They both knew that Milo reached the Semi-Almighty state, which made him far They thought that Milo's powerful strike would easily defeat Leon. To their bewilderment, they were wrong.
Not only was Milo incapable of disabling Leon, but he was also struck down to the point of spitting blood.
This was so surreal that they were shaken to the core.
"How could this happen?" Milo covered his chest and lay sprawled on the ground dazedly.
levels away from him.
He simply could not figure out how Leon managed to defeat him with a single blow or bring himself to accept what just happened.
in the Semi-Almighty state! I suppose Mister Felton was wrong!" Diego's expression darkened as realization dawned on him.
Due to the misleading information Felton provided, he assumed that Leon was head-on battle, it would mean that he was at least in the SemiAlmighty State.
This would also indicate that Felton's information was false.
"It's no wonder! That brat sure hides his strength well!” Enzo came to a realization as well.
swift enough to dodge Milo's attack.
At this moment, he finally realized that Leon was likely in the SemiAlmighty State.
The three of them were misled by Felton and underestimated Leon.
Naturally, it was rather incredible that Leon managed to reach the SemiAlmighty State before the age of thirty, so he did not think Leon surpassed the SemiAlmighty as that was impossible.
As for how Leon managed to defeat Milo, who was on the same power level, he dismissed it as Milo underestimating his opponent and getting caught off-guard.
Enzo simply could not think of any other reasonable explanation for this outcome
