Ch. 2721..2730

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2721-Then, Leon proceeded to pay.

Since 50 million was a big amount and there was a limit to personal transactions, Leon used his card in the shop and had the staff transfer the money to Rickon instead.

After the payment was completed, Leon obtained the green jadeite and the bidding came to an end.

"Mister Grimston, Miss Underwood, Hugh has already paid. Is there anything else you'd like to say?" Renee turned to Bucky and Aurelia mockingly.

In an attempt to provoke Renee, Aurelia worked with Bucky to undermine Leon.

Now, the tables turned.

Leon proved that his financial capability surpassed that of Aurelia and Bucky, and he succeeded in purchasing the green jadeite.

Renee was always and there was no way that she could simply let what Bucky and Aurelia did slide.

"Yeah!"

"These two are so weird. Mister Wolf has the money and just wants to buy the jadeite, yet they pick on him and mock him for not having enough money. How arrogant!"

The crowd around them agreed along and all turned to look at Bucky and Aurelia like they were fools.

They were all misled by these two earlier. Convinced that Leon was just bidding recklessly, some of them even mocked Leon.

However, upon witnessing how capable Leon was, they all felt guilty and turned to target Bucky and Aurelia instead to vent their frustration.

"We-" Bucky and Aurelia flushed, both rendered speechless as what they said was true.

They were too arrogant and ended up digging their own grave.

They were utterly embarrassed and desperately wished they could just disappear into the ground.

"Bucky, let's go," Aurelia could not stand staying any longer and prepared to leave with a dark expression.

"Kid, you got lucky this time, but this isn't over! Let's wait and see what happens in the future." Bucky scoffed viciously before leaving with Aurelia.

"They don't even recognize their mistakes at this point. They can't just saved!"

Renee watched their retreating figures in contempt.

She knew that Leon did not know Bucky and Aurelia before this and Aurelia was merely targeting Leon to get to her.

Leon was an innocent victim all along. Bucky and Aurelia plotted to pick on him, thinking that they could rely on their statuses, only to end up embarrassing themselves.

They had it coming, so Renee was not at all sympathetic. All she felt was contempt.

Almighty State, he saw no point in holding a grudge against them.

Since Bucky and Aurelia left in embarrassment, it could be considered that they were punished accordingly, so Leon did not think much of it.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2722-"Mister Rathbourne, thank you for your help!" Leon smiled and thanked Arron once Aurelia and Bucky left.

Back when Aurelia and Bucky picked on him, Arron stood up for him and even offered to help pay.

Leon would not forget what he did.

"You're welcome, Mister Wolf.

It's not that big a deal," Arron smiled.

Though Leon did not let him pay, his act of kindness started a friendship.

Given Cynthion Group's potential, befriending Hugh would surely benefit the Rathbournes.

"Alright.

Hugh, now that we've bought the jadeite you need, let's go!" Renee changed the subject.

"Oh, sure! Mister Rathbourne, we'll be on our way, then!" Leon said.

"Drive safe," Arron said and watched as Leon and Renee left the rock gambling area.

"Looks like the Morrisons will be selected as Cynthion Group's partner!" He sighed as he watched their retreating figures.

As far as he knew, the Morrisons and the Dagleshs were still competing against one another for the right to work with Cynthion Group.

However, seeing as Renee was out shopping with Hugh early in the morning and following him around to purchase jadeites, Arron could tell that this was an arrangement made by the Morrisons.

They intended to stall Leon using Renee to prevent him from working with the Dagleshs.

Arron had to admit that the Morrisons were far more cunning than the Dagleshs on that front.

If he was not mistaken, the Morrisons would eventually succeed in obtaining the right to work with Cynthion Group.

Naturally, it did not matter if the Dagleshs or the Morrisons succeeded, because the Rathbournes would have no part of it.

Arron was disappointed, to say the least.

Meanwhile, as Leon and Renee strolled past the sales area on their way out, something crossed Leon's mind and he stopped.

"Miss Morrison, please wait! There's something else I need to take care of!" he said and the two headed toward the display cabinets.

"Sir, Madam, is there something else that you need?" The saleswoman from earlier greeted them with a smile.

The commotion at the rock gambling area caught the attention of everyone and the saleswoman saw Leon competing against Bucky for the green jadeite.

At the same time, she also knew that Leon defeated Aurelia and Bucky and bought the jadeite with 50 million.

Both Bucky and Aurelia were arrogant and rudely took the clear jadeite Leon was interested in by force.

Because of that, the saleswoman had a rather poor impression on them.

Now that Leon defeated and humiliated them in public, the saleswoman was rather pleased.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2723-"Here's the thing, I’d like to have this green jadeite cut into nineteen plates of equal sizes.

I wonder if there's any expert you know who can help me with it.

I'll pay the service charge," Leon said.

Though cutting jadeite was not all that challenging, it would be more appropriate to have an expert perform the task.

"Sure.

That's not a problem! Please give me a moment and I'll call an expert over now,"

the saleswoman said.

Then, she went to the back of the shop and returned with an expert, who divided the green jadeite into nineteen pieces according to Leon's request.

Once it was done, the saleswoman even took out a few beautiful gift boxes to pack the jadeite plates up, before handing them to Leon.

"Sir, is there anything else you need?" she asked with a smile.

"Not really! By the way, my name is Hugh Wolf.

What's yours?" Leon asked.

"Oh, hello, Mister Wolf.

My name is Harley Stoll." The saleswoman had a good impression of Leon and Renee, so she did not hesitate to answer his question.

"Miss Stoll, there's something I'd like to discuss with you.

Cynthion Group is currently preparing to open a branch here in the western region and I need to hire new talents.

I think you'd make a perfect fit and I want to hire you as the vice president of the western region branch to take over operation and recruitment.

As for your pay, let's just set it at 300 thousand for now.

Depending on your performance, I'll give you a raise accordingly.

What do you think?" Leon asked.

He came to the western region to expand Cynthion Group's market and also to build a branch here.

However, he had no connection in the western region and if he wished to establish a branch, he would need to recruit a lot of people.

Harley gave him a decent impression.

Despite Bucky and Aurelia’s rude attempt to take the clear jadeite away from Leon, Harley remained professional and did not sell the jadeite to them simply because they offered to pay more.

Toward the end, it was only when Leon gave up on the jadeite that Harley reluctantly sold it to Bucky and Aurelia.

He admired her professionalism.

On top of that, she was modest, polite, and careful, which meant she showed great potential.

Hence, he had the idea of recruiting Harley.

His only concern was that Harley was too young and may not be able to manage the western region branch.

Hence, he decided to make her the vice president so that she could take care of recruitment.

That way, he would be fully prepared for the opening of the branch in the western region, and he could also take this opportunity to observe Harley.

If Harley proved herself to be capable, he could simply make her the president and leave the western region branch in her hands.

If Harley was incapable of managing the task, he could simply search for someone else and keep her as the vice president.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2724-"What? Mister Wolf, you want to hire me as the vice president and you are paying me 300 thousand a year? Am I hearing you right?" Harley was shocked and could not believe what she was hearing.

She was just a saleswoman in the shop and was not paid much.

Her monthly income would often be around a thousand a month even when she included commissions and bonuses.

She was too young and graduated from university just two years ago.

Without much experience and background, she was already fortunate that she found a job.

Though the pay was not satisfactory, she was content.

To her surprise, she found herself encountering great fortune.

Leon intended to hire her as the vice president for the western region branch of Cynthion Group and even offered to pay her 300 thousand a year.

It was an amount that someone like her would never imagine earning, so she was shaken to the core.

If she had not heard him in person, she would never have believed it to be true.

"You heard me right! I do want you to join Cynthion Group.

I'm just not sure if you're willing to join." Leon smiled.

"Of course, I'm willing to join," Harley nodded, her face flushing from excitement as joy filled her heart.

Given her circumstances, she would have never reached just a high position no matter how hard she worked if she did not have the help of someone powerful.

However, she was lucky enough to run into Leon and his proposal saved her decades’ worth of hard work.

This sort of luck would not just fall upon anyone and there was no way that she would reject such an offer.

"But, Mister Wolf, I'm too young and don't have any related work experience.

I don't think I can handle the position of vice president," She recovered from the overwhelming excitement and said hesitantly.

"It's fine.

I have faith in you.

Just work hard and you should be able to fulfill the role!" Leon said with a smile.

Though he was worried that Harley could not handle the duty of being the vice president, she was professional and humble.

Instead of getting overwhelmed by his offer, she quickly recognized her shortcomings.

A person who could reflect on themselves was bound to improve in the future so long as they work hard.

Instantly, Leon's faith in Harley grew and he believed she would be able to manage the western region branch of Cynthion Group.

"Sure! I'll work hard to fulfill your expectations!" The look in Harley's eyes became determined.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and she could not let it slip away.

Leon's words of consolation and trust gave her strength and she decided that she would hold onto this opportunity with everything she had to repay Leon.

"Alright, then! Let's exchange numbers.

I'll notify you once we start establishing a branch here!" Leon smiled with approval.

With that, the two proceeded to exchange numbers.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2725-"Looks like Hugo was right after all.

Hugh's planning to build a branch for Cynthion Group here," Renee was excited as she watched Hugh and Harley exchange numbers.

Hugo predicted that Hugh was not just in the western region to expand the market but also to establish a branch in the area.

To obtain the opportunity to work with Cynthion Group, Hugo started making arrangements the day before, hoping to acquire a pharmaceutical firm before Hugh did so.

Seeing as Hugh hired Harley as the vice president of the western region branch, Renee realized that he was preparing for the establishment of the new branch.

This simply proved just how perceptive Hugo was.

So long as Hugo managed to purchase a pharmaceutical firm and resolve a major concern for Hugh, Hugh would likely decide to work with the Morrisons.

That way, all problems would be resolved.

Leon did not know what was on Renee's mind, nor was he aware that Hugo was helping to acquire a pharmaceutical firm.

Once he exchanged numbers with Harley, he left the shop with Renee.

Outside the shop, Renee asked, ’Hugh, where are you going now?" "I plan to buy tools like alchemy pots," Leon said.

Now that he had all nineteen plates he needed for the Energy Convergence Circle, he would need to acquire alchemy pots and other necessities for producing pills.

Once everything was in place, he could start the production.

He already obtained the Rainbow Fruit from the Feaks, so he was in a hurry to purchase jadeites and pots to transform the Rainbow Fruit into pills so that he could enhance his power.

As for producing Energy Nurturing Pills, he would start once he decided whether to work with the Morrisons or the Dagleshs.

"Sure! I'll go with you!" Renee said with a smile and heeded her brother's order to stick around Leon.

Just as the two were about to leave, something unexpected happened.

"Don't think you can have your fun here and leave! Not so soon!" Just then, someone chuckled coldly.

Bucky and Aurelia stepped forward and blocked their way.

"Mister Grimston, Miss Underwood, you two again! What are you two doing?

Why are you blocking our way?" Renee's expression darkened.

She did not expect them to linger and was caught by surprise.

"You two just won't give up!" Leon frowned.

He thought that after embarrassing themselves, Bucky and Aurelia would have already left.

To his surprise, they did not leave and waited outside instead.

was unrivaled in the Western region.

No matter their intentions, Leon had no reason to fear two young martial artists.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2726-"Miss Morrison, let's cut to the chase. This kid raised the price of the clear jadeite and had me pay 9 million for it. He then competed against me for the green jadeite and embarrassed me in front of everyone. It's about time we settle the scores!" Bucky said and glared maliciously at Leon.

For someone of his status, there was no way that he would accept having a mere vice president embarrass him and Aurelia in public.

After leaving the shop, both Bucky and Aurelia were extremely upset.

Hence, they decided to wait outside the shop to teach Leon a lesson when he came out. Otherwise, their anger could not be appeased.

"Settle the scores? What a joke! Bucky, you and Miss Underwood are the ones who picked fights with Leon and competed with him over the jadeites he wanted! Yet, here you're blaming him for embarrassing you in public! Don't you think you are way out of line here?" Renee laughed angrily.

"So what if I'm out of line? Whoever has the most power gets the say! Out of respect for you, I'll give this kid a chance. If he kneels and apologizes for what happened earlier, I may consider letting him go. otherwise, I won't show him any mercy!" Bucky said forcefully.

He knew that what Renee said was true. It was he and Aurelia who picked a fight with Leon and made a fool of themselves in the end.

Even if they ended up embarrassing themselves, they had it coming and should not blame Hugh for it.

He could not argue with Renee’s logic, so he did not bother and simply tried to make Hugh obey by force.

Though Hugh and Cynthion Group was capable of pulling out large sums of money, brute strength was the only thing that truly mattered in the world of martial artists.

Hugh was merely a vice president and considering his age, he was likely weak.

Bucky, on the other hand, was the eldest son of the Grimstons and was incredibly gifted.

He reached the Initial Emperor State a year ago and was at least included in the five most powerful martial artists of his generation.

Apart from Hugo and Felton, he was practically unrivaled, so there was no way that Leon could rival him.

From his perspective, Hugh was just a puny man when compared to him. That was the reason why he was confident enough to confront Leon by force to seek revenge.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2727-"Bucky's right! If this kid knows what's best for him, he'll kneel and apologize, and this will be considered over! Otherwise, he'll suffer the consequences!"

Aurelia agreed along as though she had full control over Leon.

At least that was what she and Bucky thought.

With Bucky being in the Initial Emperor State, he was almost unrivaled in the younger generation of martial artists. Hence, Aurelia did not think that a lowly vice president could stand a chance against Bucky.

"Why you!" Renee was furious.

They should have considered themselves lucky that Hugh did not come after them for what they did inside the shop. Yet, instead of accepting defeat, their actions escalated and they even plotted to force Leon into apologizing.

It was extremely shameless of them and both Renee and Leon were infuriated by their arrogance.

"I don't get how scums like you two could summon the confidence to challenge me! What a joke!" Leon laughed angrily and stared at them in contempt.

He went through so many storms since his time in Springfield City and he became accustomed to trouble.

Though their arrogance annoyed him, he remained composed and calm.

"How dare you? I've given you a chance and since you won't take it, don't blame me for not showing mercy!" Bucky was enraged by Leon's contemptuous gaze Not wanting to waste any more time, he fired up his true energy to teach Leon a lesson.

"Hang on!" Renee hesitated for a moment, before stepping forward in time.

"Bucky, Hugh's a powerful martial artist and you are no match for him. I advise that you and Miss Underwood leave now before Hugh gets upset or you two will just make a fool out of yourselves," Renee said calmly.

She saw what Hugh was capable of and since Felton, who was in the Intermediate Emperor state, could not defeat Leon, so Bucky could not possibly manage it.

Bucky and Aurelia were unreasonable and Renee did not like them, so she wanted Hugh to teach them a lesson.

However, she soon gave up on that when she considered the influence of the Grimstons and Underwoods.

Both the Grimstons and Underwoods were powerful and Hugh was just the vice president of Cynthion Group, who had no connections in the western region.

Hugh merely came to the western region to expand his business. If he crossed and injured Bucky, he would cross the Grimstons and Underwoods.

This would only harm Hugh so she decided to interfere and remind Aurelia and Bucky.

She simply hoped that they would give up and that would be ideal.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2728-"What?" Bucky and Aurelia could not believe what they were hearing.

"Miss Morrison, did you just say that I'm no match for this kid? What kind of joke is this?" Bucky pointed at himself and chuckled like he just heard the funniest joke.

He did not know the extent of Leon's power, but the Emperor State was a barrier that was hard to cross for younger martial artists who only started training for a few years.

Indeed, only a few managed to reach the Emperor State amongst the youngest generation of martial artists in the Western region. Those who accomplished this were all from extremely powerful families.

Hugh, on the other hand, was just a lowly vice president in the Cynthion Group and not from any prestigious family.

Considering his age and status, Bucky felt that it would already be quite fortunate for Hugh to be in the Overlord state.

Yet, Renee claimed that he was no match for Hugh and he was not about to believe her.

Even Felton lost to him and got injured two days ago. If you don’t want to suffer the same fate, you better not cross Hugh," Renee said.

To prevent the situation from escalating and prevent Hugh from crossing the Grimstons and Underwoods, she decided to tell Aurelia and Bucky the truth in the hope that they would just give up.

That would be ideal for everyone involved.

Bucky scoffed.

He knew that the most powerful martial artists amongst the youngest generation were Hugo and Felton.

Hugo was ranked as the very top and even he was merely in the Intermediate Emperor State.

A man from a humble background like Hugh could not possibly surpass Hugo This was simply impossible.

He also knew that Felton was formidable and second to only Hugo. As the son of the Southern Boss, he had the powerful Fermers backing him up.

If Hugh truly defeated and injured Felton, Felton would have never spared Hugh and there was no way that Hugh would still be alive at this moment.

Everything pointed to the fact that Renee's words were false.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2729-"I see! Miss Morrison, you are just bluffing to defend him, aren't you?" Bucky said thoughtfully.

He mistook Leon for Renee's boyfriend and since Renee was saying that Hugh exaggerating to scare him away and protect Hugh.

This was merely a trick to prevent him from harming Hugh and he could not think of any other reasonable explanation.

"Bucky's right! He's in the Initial Emperor State and apart from Hugo and Felton, no one in the younger generation can defeat him. This guy is just helpless and can't possibly defeat Bucky! Renee, even if you want to defend your boyfriend, you need to at least try and sound convincing," Aurelia said mockingly.

She shared Bucky's thoughts and felt that Renee was just lying to protect Hugh.

She never heard of anyone in the youngest generation who reached the impossible.

Renee's words were simply too far-fetched and there was no way that Aurelia would believe her.

"I'm not bluffing. I'm telling the truth. Believe whatever you want!" Renee said with displeasure.

She was merely reminding them out of kindness, hoping that they would stop before embarrassing themselves.

Yet, they were too arrogant to take her advice and did not believe her.

She could not help with that and decided to just ignore them.

"Of course, we don't believe you! In any case, please move aside, Miss Morrison. I wouldn't have you get caught in the crossfire!" Bucky said proudly.

Since Renee was standing before Leon, he could not quite attack.

Hence, he could only ask her to move aside. After all, he once loved Renee and did not want to hurt her.

"Very well! You asked for this. Since you insist, do as you please!" Renee shrugged and walked aside.

She knew what Hugh was capable of and did not think Bucky could rival Hugh.

Since she already reminded Aurelia and Bucky and they refused to believe her, she would not be held accountable for what would happen next.

"What?!” Bucky was taken aback.

He thought that as Hugh's girlfriend, Renee would continue to defend him and did not expect her to move aside.

Still, he was determined to teach Leon a lesson and it worked in his favor that Renee moved aside.

He was not about to miss this opportunity.

"Kid, I shall show you what it means to cross me! Die!" Not wanting to give Renee a chance to change her mind, he charged at Leon at the speed of lightning, wanting to vent his anger on Leon for what happened earlier.

"I'm embarrassed for you that you think you have what it takes! Know your place!" Leon scoffed and stepped forward to launch an attack against Bucky's attack.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2730-"Kid, you must have a death wish!” Bucky narrowed his eyes sharply.

Since Leon was using his spiritual energy, he could not detect the level Leon was in.

However, judging from Leon’s status and age, Bucky already concluded that he was in the Overlord state, which was miles away from the Emperor State he was in.

Leon was too arrogant to dodge his attack and attempted to face up to him. This was practically suicidal and he was not about to show any mercy.

With that thought in mind, he exerted more power into his attack in an attempt to end the fight instantly.

"How arrogant!" Aurelia sneered as she did not think Leon could win either.

Something crossed her mind and she turned to shoot a challenging look at Renee.

Renee always surpassed her in every aspect and she was always jealous because of that.

She dreamed of the day when she could finally beat Renee and today was her chance.

Renee somehow got herself a lowly man as her boyfriend, whereas Aurelia's boyfriend was the eldest son of the Grimston and one of the most accomplished men of the youngest generation in the Western region.

In terms of power and strength as a martial artist, she assumed that Leon could not begin to compare with Bucky.

This should be enough to embarrass Renee and the thought of surpassing Renee in this sense gave Aurelia great pleasure.

However, amid her excitement, what happened next shocked her and Bucky.

Baam!

Following a deafening sound, Leon's attack and Bucky's attack clashed.

Leon's spiritual energy immediately tore through Bucky's defense and slammed against him.

Taking the blow, Bucky spat blood and was instantly sent flying.

A sharp pain pierced through his chest. Leon must have broken at least a few ribs in his body and he slumped on the ground after landing.

"What? How's that possible?" Aurelia rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

She initially thought that Leon was powerless against Bucky and might not even survive a single blow from Bucky.

However, she did not expect to be completely wrong.

Not only did Leon fend off Bucky's attack, but he also managed to defeat and injure Bucky with a single attack.

This was so surprising that she was shaken to the core.

"No, this isn't possible!" Bucky was equally shocked.

He covered his chest and stared at Hugh in disbelief and terror.

He knew that Leon was just a vice president who was not from any prestigious family.

As a martial artist, Leon should be powerless before him.

He could not figure out how someone like that could defeat and injure him, so he could not bring himself to accept it.
