Ch. 2781..2790

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2781-“What? Mister Wolf, are you serious? Are you willing to increase the portion twenty-five percent?” Hugo was overjoyed.

Though it was just an increase of five percent, it was a great fortune when it came from a highly profitable firm like Cynthion Group.

This would at least guarantee the Morrisons hundreds of millions each year or even more.

Caleb and the elders were reluctant to work with Cynthion Group because they wanted to benefit more. After all the tricks they played, they failed and almost cost them the opportunity to partner with Cynthion Group. Yet, Leon was now willing to increase their portion to twenty-five percent and this caught Hugo by surprise. Instantly, he was both shocked and pleasantly surprised.

"Of course, I'm serious!" Leon nodded.

Profit was a great motivator for anyone.

He knew that the profit division he offered was quite low and the Morrisons were aiming to gain more.

This was normal and he could empathize.

However, a line had to be drawn.

At the very beginning of the negotiation, he intended to raise the portion for the Morrisons to thirty percent. Unfortunately, the Morrisons were far too arrogant and Jayden even demanded an even division.

This enraged Leon and in a fit of frustration, he set the portion for the Morrisons to twenty percent.

However, they all reached an agreement. On top of that, Hugo acquired a pharmaceutical firm and arranged for two capable men to help manage the branch.

So long as the Morrisons were willing to acquire another cosmetic firm and resolve his issue with setting a branch for Elegante Group, he was willing to increase the portion to twenty-five percent.

"Sure! Mister Wolf, I'll thank you on behalf of the Morrisons!" Hugo said with a smile.

Though there was a condition to Leon's proposal, it was a simple demand.

Considering the Morrisons’ power, they could easily acquire a cosmetic company for Leon.

It was no exaggeration to say that Leon was practically giving them an extra five percent for free and Hugo was overjoyed.

“Mister Morrison, it's settled then. | look forward to hearing from you," Leon smiled.

Just as he was about to continue, his phone rang and he took it out to find that it was a call from Jensen.

Jensen was calling to invite him over to the Dagleshs' mansion.

After a moment of thought, he answered the call.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2782-After the call was connected, Leon had a brief conversation with Jensen. He already promised to visit the Dagleshs' mansion and set the time for his visit at noon.

However, Renee was dragging him around throughout the morning and the time he spent with Hugo took quite a lot of time, so he was not able to head to the Dagleshs' mansion.

Jensen waited for a long time and Leon was nowhere to be seen, so he decided to call and check on Leon. Leon merely agreed to visit because he preferred to work with the Dagleshs at the time and wanted to discuss with Elder Dagleshs in private.

The situation changed and since he already reached an agreement with the Morrisons, there was no reason for him to visit the Dagleshs' mansion.

Still, the Dagleshs were quite sincere and Leon already made a promise, so it would be rude of him to change his mind and not visit them.

With that in mind, he decided to visit the Dagleshs and inform them about his agreement with the Morrisons.

At the very least, this would be better than him breaking his promise.

Once Leon hung up, Renee asked, "Leon, is that a call from Mister Daglesh?

1»

She knew that Leon was invited to the Dagleshs' mansion, so she could conclude that it was a call from Jensen. Thankfully, Hugo was able to reach an agreement with Leon before the Dagleshs and they were one step too late. Even if Leon headed to the Dagleshs' mansion, it would not affect the Morrisons.

Both Renee and Hugo were relieved.

"Yeah! Mister Morrison, please handle the rest of the matters. | need to leave now," Leon said.

Though he already signed the contract, the paperwork that followed was quite complicated as he needed to file documents to the respective departments.

Leon was in a hurry to head to the Dagleshs' mansion, so he did not have time forthat. Hence, he could only leave it all to Hugo. "Sure, no problem! Mister Wolf, go ahead and leave the rest to me," Hugo said.

With that, Leon bid farewell to Hugo and Renee, before leaving for the Dagleshs' mansion.

Meanwhile, in the Dagleshs' mansion where the first bloodline resided, the Dagleshs were all gathered in the hall. Apart from Elder Daglesh and Jensen, Jensen’s parents were present as well, along with a young, beautiful woman. It was none other than Jensen's younger sister, Candice Daglesh.

Candice was a beautiful woman in her early twenties. She had a wonderful figure and a refreshing aura.

In terms of beauty, Renee was slightly prettier than she was. Candice was yet another rare beauty that could compare with Aurelia.

Elder Daglesh gathered every member of the first bloodline to receive Leon.

This was the highest form of hospitality they could arrange, which indicated just how much Elder Daglesh valued Leon.

On top of that, he also prepared a luxurious spread for Leon, and all the dishes were laid in the middle of the hall.

However, since Leon was yet to arrive, they all waited by the side and no one was seated by the table at the moment.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2783-"Grandpa, this Leon guy is so rude. He promised to come at noon and it's way past noon now, yet he's nowhere to be seen." Candice was growing impatient.

As the eldest daughter of the Dagleshs, she had a high status and breathtaking beauty, which meant that she had many pursuers.

It was always others who waited for her and fawned over her, so she never waited for someone else.

Yet, she was now waiting for a strange man alongside Elder Daglesh and the others. Because of that, she was quite upset with Leon.

"Candice, be patient. I've already called Mister Wolf and he is coming our way now. He should be here in no time," Jensen said. "He's only departing now? What was he doing just now?" Candice grew even angrier. She hated men who could not keep their promises and since Leon was not punctual, her first impression of him was horrible.

If Elder Daglesh and Jensen did not value Leon that much, she would have left a long time ago instead of waiting for such a rude man.

"Maybe Mister Wolf is caught up by something," Jensen said.

He called Leon earlier and Leon merely mentioned that he was on his way. Not a word was mentioned about him reaching an agreement with the Morrisons.

He did not know why Leon was late, but based on what he knew about Leon, Leon was not a proud or rude person. Hence, he assumed that Leon was likely caught up in something.

"Who knows? He's probably playing hard to get because he knows that we want something from him. He is trying to exercise his authority here," Candice said angrily.

She already heard from Elder Daglesh and Jensen that the Dagleshs wished to work with Leon and that Leon was the chairman of Cynthion Group.

Leon was late to his meeting with the Dagleshs and she assumed he was trying to emotionally manipulate the Dagleshs so that he could profit more from the deal.

There were plenty of cunning, despicable people in the business world and she assumed that Leon was one of them.

She could not think of any other reason for him to be late.

"Candice, enough with your nonsense! Mister Wolf is a reasonable man. Given his age, he's incredibly talented and couldn't possibly be the type of person you imagine him to bel" Elder Daglesh reprimanded.

"Il-" Candice wanted to argue but dared not to defy Elder Daglesh. She could only swallow her words but remained annoyed, clearly upset that Elder Daglesh praised Leon.

She did not know much about Leon and merely heard from Jensen that Leon was the chairman of a pharmaceutical firm.

She had no clue as to how powerful Leon's alchemical pills were, nor was she aware that Leon was already in the Almighty State despite his age, making him much more powerful than the likes of Hugo and Felton.

If she knew all these, she would have understood why Elder Daglesh praised Leon so much.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2784-"Grandpa, Mister Wolf should be here soon. I'll go welcome him outside!"

Jensen changed the subject.

"Um, forget it. I'll welcome Mister Wolf myself!" Elder Daglesh said thoughtfully.

He valued this opportunity to work with Cynthion Group. On top of that, Leon was a young martial artist who managed to reach the Almighty State.

With that being said, the sky was the limit for Leon and his strength granted him a status that rivaled Elder Daglesh.

To show how much they valued the opportunity, Elder Daglesh decided to receive Leon in person.

Given his status in the family, the others would have to follow.

Candice was reluctant to do so, but could only follow Elder Daglesh outside to welcome Leon.

With that, the group left the hall and stepped outside the mansion.

At the gate of the Dagleshs' mansion, Leon arrived at the address Jensen provided to find the Dagleshs waiting.

After getting out of the car, Leon strode toward the Dagleshs.

"Welcome, Mister Wolf," Elder Daglesh smiled as he welcomed Leon.

"Elder Daglesh, sorry for arriving late. You must've been waiting for a while, "

Leon smiled apologetically.

"It's fine," Elder Daglesh smiled.

Before he could say anything else, Candice's melodious voice rose. "At least you are aware that you're late! Good of you to notice!" She scoffed.

"Well," Leon felt slightly awkward but could not argue with her.

"Candice, don't be rude!" Elder Daglesh shot her a displeased glance and turned his attention back to Leon. "Mister Wolf, allow me to introduce my granddaughter, Candice. These two are her parents.” "Hello, Mister Daglesh,"

Leon nodded and greeted each of them politely.

"Mister Wolf, we've heard so much about you. It's a pleasure,” Candice's parents responded politely as well.

Initially, Candice assumed that Leon was a cunny, despicable man and had a bad impression on him.

However, Leon seemed polite and not at all arrogant, which was not what she expected. Hence, she changed her mind slightly about him.

Still, she remained displeased that Leon did not show up on time.

The group walked into the house and entered the hall.

Under Elder Daglesh's permission, the others took their seats.

Scanning the luxurious spread before him, Leon opened his mouth hesitantly.

"Elder Daglesh!"

Seeing how sincere the Dagleshs were, Leon could not find his words.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2785-"Mister Wolf, what is it? Is there something you'd like to say?" Elder Daglesh asked in confusion.

"Well," With a troubled expression, Leon fell into silence.

He knew that the Dagleshs wanted to work with Cynthion group and he accepted the Dagleshs' invitation because he intended to work with them.

However, he changed his mind at the last moment and this must have been cruel to the Dagleshs.

Still, he had to inform Elder Daglesh of the truth at one point because he had no other option.

With that thought in mind, he stopped hesitating. "Elder Daglesh, about the partnership with Cynthion Group, I'm sorry to inform you that I've reached an agreement with Mister Hugo. Hence, I won’t be able to work with the Dagleshs.

Please forgive me," he sighed.

He only needed to work with one family to establish Cynthion Group's branch in the western region and since he decided to work with the Morrisons, he could not partner with the Dagleshs.

Apart from Cynthion Group, Elegante Group was also under his name.

However, the Elegante Group was different compared to the Cynthion Group.

The alchemical pills sold by Cynthion Group held great potential as they affected the world of martial artists. This meant that many martial artists and thugs may target Cynthion Group.

Leon could not stay in the western region forever and to ensure the safety of the branch, he needed to work with a powerful family for safety measures.

Meanwhile, Elegante Group was different.

Though it was highly profitable as well, it was just a cosmetic firm that did not influence the martial arts community.

Under normal circumstances, martial artists would not target it.

Hence, Leon did not need a partner in the western region, otherwise, he would have considered forming a partnership between the Elegante Group and the Dagleshs.

Unfortunately, that was not necessary for Elegante Group and he could only apologize to them.

This completely caught him off guard and his heart instantly sank.

Naturally, the others felt the same as well.

Since Leon agreed to visit, they all thought that it was almost certain that they secured the deal.

Unfortunately, the Morrisons managed to snatch the deal right off their hands and they were all shocked.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2787-"Elder Daglesh, please calm down! This is indeed my fault so don't get upset at Miss Daglesh. There's a reason for me to partner with the Morrisons instead and I didn't mean to toy with you. Please forgive me," Leon said apologetically.

"Hypocrite! We don't need your apology! To partner with Cynthion Group, we welcome you as our esteemed guest and Grandpa even prepared a supreme spiritual herb as a gift for you. Yet, you broke your promise and reached an agreement with the Morrisons instead. How could you?" Candice glared at Leon.

Though Leon was polite and even defended her to prevent her from getting punished, she was already certain that Leon was a despicable man and was disgusted by him.

Naturally, she was not willing to accept his act of kindness and remained rude to him.

"What? Elder Daglesh, you prepared a supreme spiritual herb? Is that true?"

Leon was shocked.

Though the western region had an abundant supply of herbs, supreme spiritual herbs would enhance the power of martial artists in the Almighty State and even help them get past the barriers of their training.

This made supreme spiritual herbs extremely rare and valuable.

To his bewilderment, Elder Daglesh was eager enough to invite him to a feast and even planned to give him a supreme spiritual herb as a gift.

This caught Leon by surprise.

"That's right. We got lucky last year and happened upon a supreme spiritual herb, Emperor Herb. I wanted to give it to you as a gift, but I guess we were a step too late," Elder Daglesh smiled bitterly.

Though supreme spiritual herbs could help martial artists in the Almighty State get past the barriers of their training, there was a concern for compatibility depending on the physique and the method martial artists trained with.

Under normal circumstances, martial artists could only use herbs that were compatible with their physiques to maximize their effect As the leader of the Dagleshs, Elder Daglesh long reached the Intermediate State.

When they first obtained the Emperor Herb, his first thought was to get to the herb with no specific properties, while the methods the Dagleshs trained in were light methods.

This meant that the Emperor Herb was not compatible with him.

Hence, to prevent wasting such a valuable herb, he preserved it for another time.

It was not until now that this herb came in handy.

Unfortunately, the Morrisons got ahead of them before they could do anything, so all his preparation went to waste.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2788-"Emperor Herb? What a shame!" Leon perked up and his eyes lit up.

He prepared everything he needed to produce alchemical pills and would try to make the Rainbow Fruit into pills as soon as possible to enhance his power.

However, the Rainbow Fruit was a mild herb and needed another supreme spiritual herb with the same property to amplify its effect.

Because of that, Leon even called Mister Orpwood to seek help with finding a mild supreme spiritual herb.

However, supreme spiritual herbs were rare and there were countless types available. Since he asked specifically for a mild supreme spiritual herb, even the Dragon Corps may struggle to fulfill his request within a short period.

Everything was left in the hands of the gods.

As odds would have it, the Dagleshs possessed a supreme spiritual herb that he needed.

The only drawback was that Elder Daglesh meant to trade the herb for a partnership with Cynthion Group.

Since Leon already reached an agreement with the Morrisons, he could not trade with Elder Daglesh, which was a shame.

"Elder Daglesh, I have a request. If possible, can you sell me this Emperor Herb? Just name your price!" Leon hesitated and asked with anticipation.

"Well," Elder Daglesh was taken aback.

Since Leon already decided to work with the Morrisons, he could not possibly hand Emperor Herb over for free.

However, Leon proposed to purchase it and Elder Daglesh was at a crossroads.

Before he could say anything, Candice said, "You're out of line, Wolf. It's bad enough that you won't work with US, and now you are targeting our supreme spiritual herb. You are too greedy!" She laughed angrily.

Leon broke his promise and struck a deal with the Morrisons. On top of that, he greedily asked for the Emperor Herb.

It was far too shameless of him and she never saw anyone more shameless.

Instantly, Candice was overwhelmed by fury.

"Well, Miss Daglesh, I don't mean to take it. I just mean to buy it," Leon explained.

Since the western region had an abundant supply of herbs, there would be supreme spiritual herbs emerging from time to time.

They were not that expensive and usually only cost under a hundred million.

It would not have been realistic.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2789-"Well,” Leon was rendered speechless.

He knew that supreme spiritual herbs were valuable and families like the Dagleshs could not possibly sell Emperor Herb for money.

Hence, he could not argue with Candice's logic.

"Candice, I'll say this one last time. Be polite to Mister Wolf. If you keep this attitude up, I will have you punished!" Elder Daglesh glared at Candice with displeasure.

Though what she said was right and they could not sell the herb to Leon, Candice was far too young and reckless.

She insulted Leon multiple times and Elder Daglesh was glad that Leon did not take it personally.

Still, he could not allow her to keep it up or she may eventually provoke Leon.

"I-" Upon hearing that she would be punished, Candice dared not to argue and quieted down.

"Elder Daglesh, are you sure you can't sell the Emperor Herb to me?" Leon knew that he was in the wrong and did not take Candice's words personally.

He glanced at Elder Daglesh in disappointment and resignation.

"Mister Wolf, Candice is right. We won't sell the Emperor Herb! If you reed it, I can give it to you as a gift," Elder Daglesh said thoughtfully.

Though tens of millions were a small fortune, the Dagleshs could afford the loss and did not need to sell Emperor Herb to Leon over money.

He might as well give it away as a gift so that Leon owed them a favor and a favor was far more valuable than money.

"What?" Leon and the others were all stunned.

Leon initially thought that Elder Daglesh would not sell Emperor Herb.

Disappointed, he was ready to give up.

To his bewilderment, Edler Daglesh claimed that he did not wish to sell the Emperor Herb, but instead offered to give it to Leon as a gift.

This completely caught him by surprise and the others were all stunned as well.

None of them expected Elder Daglesh to give Emperor Herb away for free.

"Yeah! Dad, that's not appropriate and you need to think twice," Candice's father said.

From his perspective, Elder Daglesh was already being extremely kind for not blaming Leon for this.

Yet, for some reason, Elder Daglesh intended to give Emperor Herb to Leon for free and he could not understand why.

The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2790-"It's fine. It's just one supreme spiritual herb. I know what I'm doing!" Elder Daglesh said calmly.

The Emperor Herb was a neutral herb, which meant that it was not compatible with the method Elder Daglesh used to train.

It would not be able to enhance his power or get him past the barrier of his training.

Hence, he did not need the Emperor Herb.

Leon, on the other hand, needed Emperor Herb and Elder Daglesh felt that it was appropriate to give the Emperor Herb as a favor.

Leon was the chairman of Cynthion Group and a martial artist in the Almighty state. Given his age, the sky was the limit.

Considering CYnthion Grou's potential and Leon's talent, he was bound to achieve greatness.

If he gave Leon Emperor Herb to befriend him, Leon would grow into someone who could help the Dagleshs in times of need.

This would only benefit the Dagleshs.

"But," Mateo and Candice were reluctant to give up.

Though Emperor Herb's property was not compatible with the Dagleshs, there were plenty of families in the western region that trained with a neutral method.

The Emperor Herb would be of great use to these families.

If any of these families obtained a supreme spiritual herb with light energy, the Dagleshs could trade with the Emperor Herb.

Once they obtained a supreme spiritual herb with light energy, Elder Daglesh would grow even stronger.

This was how important the Emepror Herb was. Yet, Elder Daglesh gave up on the chance of a breakthrough and intended to give the herb to Leon for free.

It would be a sacrifice with no return.

What they were not aware of was that Elder Daglesh was far wiser than them.

They were just too short-sighted to realize what was on his mind.

"That's the end of the discussion! It's settled!" Elder Daglesh said decisively, histone unquestionable.

He knew that the Dagleshs could likely trade Emperor Herb for a supreme spiritual herb with light energy.

Relying on luck alone was not an option, so he might as well give it to Leon so that Leon owed them a favor.

This would certainly benefit the Dagleshs more.
