Ch. 2871..2880
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2871-"What?" Felton and Jayden were both shocked.
Jayden thought that Caleb was about to give up on protecting Leon because of what he said.
To his bewilderment, Hugo and Renee managed to change his mind. Now, Caleb intends to neglect the family's gain to protect Leon.
Jayden was reluctant to accept this.
"Dad, you need to think twice! The Morrisons shouldn't declare war against the Fermers for an outsider's sake! We will suffer losses for nothing," Jayden said.
Before he could finish his sentence, Caleb cut him off. "Shut up, Jayden. I know what I'm doing. I don't need you to teach me what to do," Caleb roared with a dark expression.
He knew that Jayden was doing this to protect the family as he did not wish for the Morrisons to work for Leon over nothing.
However, Jayden was too short-sighted and could only consider the benefit before him, unlike Hugo.
On top of that, Jayden caused troubles multiple times in the past that led to disputes with Leon.
Given what happened in the past, there was no way that Caleb would repeat the same mistake and listen to Jayden again.
"I-" Jayden's heart sank in response to Caleb's anger.
Since Caleb's mind was set, he could only give up and quiet down to prevent further provoking Caleb.
"Who would have thought that the Fermers and the Morrisons would get at odds over an outsider!" "This is about to be good!" "Yeah. Once the Western Boss gets involved, things are going to get even better!"
While waiting for Caleb to make up his mind, the other guests were all shaken.
They all knew that the Morrisons and the Fermers were the two most powerful families in the western region.
Though they were never friends, neither family would declare war against the other to preserve their gain.
To their surprise, they now indeed to start a war for the sake of an outside.
This was so surreal that everyone was dying to see who would win.
They all assumed that the Western Boss would soon arrive and once that happened, there was no telling who would win.
"Looks like the Morrisons are reliable after all," Leon sighed an inward breath of relief.
In the future, he could leave matters concerning Cynthion Group's branch in the Morrisons' hands when he was not around.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2872-"Very well. Elder Morrison, so the Morrisons are dead set on crossing US, then?
Is that right?" Felton laughed angrily.
He initially thought he could convince Caleb to give up on protecting Leon so that both the Morrisons and the Fermers could prevent unnecessary losses.
However, Caleb did not feel the same.
This caught Felton by surprise and enraged him.
"That's right. Felton, I will give you one chance out of respect for the Western Boss. If you leave now, I can pretend like this never happened. Otherwise, you will face consequences!" Caleb warned.
Though he already decided to defend Leon, it would still be best for Felton to leave before any casualty occurred.
That way, a fight could be prevented.
"Elder Morrison, don’t bother trying to scare me! Others may fear the Morrisons, but the Fermers don't! Since you insist on protecting Leon, don't blame US for not showing mercy!" Felton sneered, not taking Caleb's warning seriously at all.
To take Loen down, he was fully prepared.
Even if Caleb and the Morrisons insisted on protecting Leon, he had nothing to fear and merely needed more work to take the Morrisons down as well alongside Leon.
"Is that so? How arrogant!" Caleb laughed angrily and stared at Felton in contempt.
Almighty State, even if the Western Boss was here, he would not dare to act so smugly in front of Caleb.
Yet, Felton dared to challenge him. From Caleb's perspective, Felton was digging his own grave and he could not comprehend what gave him the courage to do so.
In the next moment, the situation took a drastic turn.
"Elder Morrisons, the Fermers may not be able to take on the Morrisons, but what if they have help from the Grimstons and the Underwoods? I wonder if the Morrisons can rival three families at once!" Just then, someone sneered.
Two intimidating old men strode into the sales drive, followed by a few dozen skilled martial artists.
The two old men were the leaders of the Grimstons and the Underwoods, Dorian Grimston and Cassius Underwood.
Next to them were Bucky in a wheelchair and Aurelia.
When they finally arrived, he was relieved.
"You’re not late. You arrive at just the right time." Felton smiled.
With that, the three parties joined forces.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2873-"Elder Grimston, Elder Underwood, what is the meaning of this?" Caleb's expression darkened as he watched Felton greet the Grimstons and the Underwoods.
An ominous feeling arose within him.
"Can't you tell, Elder Morrison? I called the Grimstons and the Underwoods here!" Felton said as he stared at Caleb mockingly.
"What?" Caleb was stunned and could not believe what he was hearing.
He already sensed something amiss when he saw the Grimstons and Underwoods entering, but he never expected them to be Felton's allies.
The Fermers were rulers of the underground society, while the Grimstons and the Underwoods operated strictly legally.
The three families were never in contact with one another, so Caleb could not figure out why these two families would work with the Fermers.
Naturally, he was not the only one who was taken aback. The other guests felt the same as well.
They all thought that Felton would lose to Caleb and the Western Boss would step in.
To their surprise, the Western Boss did not show up and the Grimstons and the Underwoods appeared to side with Felton instead.
This completely caught them off-guard.
Instantly, they were all shocked and wondered why the Grimstons and the Underwoods would side with the Fermers.
"Elder Grimstons, Elder Underwoods, the Morrisons haven't crossed you in the past. Why are you siding with the Fermers to attack US?" Caleb questioned darkly.
With the involvement of the Grimstons and the Underwoods, he could no longer maintain his composure.
"Elder Morrison, you got it all wrong. We aren't targeting the Morrisons. You are just getting in our way!" Dorian snorted and revealed a dark expression.
"What?" Caleb was slightly taken aback as he did not understand Dorian's words.
"I see!" Realization dawned on Caleb.
Leon was once in a conflict with the Grimstons outside a jadeite store, and Caleb heard about it from Renee before.
It was no wonder that the Grimstons and the Underwoods were helping Felton.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2874-"The chairman of Cynthion Group is something. He's an outsider, yet he dares to cross the Formers, the Grimstons and the Underwoods." "Does he have a death wish?" "Yeah. With the Grimstons and the Underwoods in the picture, he is outnumbered. As capable as the Morrisons may be, they can't fight off three powerful families to keep him safe!"
The others all gasped and turned to look at Leon, who stood tall, in shock.
The Morrisons had been promoting the sales drive for the past few days and most of the younger martial artists witnessed the power of alchemical pills at Jaxon's bouquet. Hence, they all came to participate in the sales drive to purchase alchemical pills.
All they knew about the chairman of Cynthion Group was that he was a young man and an outsider from the southern region.
Still, if Leon could build Cynthion Group all by himself, they assumed that he was a wise and brilliant man.
However, what they were seeing seemed to contradict what they anticipated.
For some reason, Leon offended the Fermers, the Grimstons, and the Underwoods at the same time.
This seemed overly arrogant of him. No one his age would dare to do such a thing.
Even older martial artists like Caleb and the Western Boss would refrain from crossing three powerful families at once, yet an outsider did exactly that.
It was practically suicidal.
At the moment, the Farmers, the Grimstons, and the Underwoods all gathered at the sales drive to retaliate against Leon.
No one thought Leon was about capable of fighting three prestigious families at once.
If they were right, Leon would surely perish on the spot and that seemed like the only possibility.
"It's strange. Why is Felton getting help from the Grimstons and the Underwoods? Where are the Southern and Western Bosses? Are they not here yet?" Leon ignored the threats from Dorian and Cassius and frowned in confusion.
When Felton led his men into the sales drive, Leon already guessed that he still had tricks up his sleeves.
There was no way that Felton came to fight Leon and the Morrisons with the help of just a few Fermers, as this would be suicidal.
However, he thought that Felton was waiting for reinforcement from the Southern and Western Bosses.
Amid his confusion, he wondered where the army led by the Southern and Western Bosses went.
Could it be that they were still on the way and planned to show up at the very last moment?
Leon was practically pushing Caleb and the Morrisons to their graves.
Facing the Fermers, the Grimstons, and the Underwoods at the same time, Caleb was at a loss.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2875-"Um, what? These are just useless scum. It's not a big deal," Leon snapped out of it and said casually, not at all threatened by the others.
His words caused a stir in the crowd.
"What the? Has he gone mad?" "How dare he say that in front of three powerful families?'" "How arrogant can he be?"
Once the others snapped out of the initial shock, they all turned to Leon in disbelief.
When they learned that Leon crossed the Fermers, the Grimstons, and the Underwoods, they already recognized that Leon was arrogant.
Still, they now realized they underestimated Leon.
Not only was Leon not threatened by the situation at all, but he also mocked the three families and called them scums.
This was practically suicidal.
None of them could comprehend what gave Leon the courage to do so.
"Why you-- Caleb's face turned green from rage.
He initially hoped that Leon would think of a solution or lessen his burden, but to his surprise, Leon provoked their opponents further.
If he knew this was the outcome, he would have preferred that Leon did not speak at all.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
"Brat, how dare you? You must have a death wish!" Dorian, Felton, and the others were enraged by Leon's attitude.
Dorian only saw Leon as a puny brat. However, with Caleb standing before Leon, he knew he could not get past Caleb and could only suppress his anger.
"Elder Morrison, you better read the room. Since the Morrisons and the Grimstons are among the ranks of prestigious families in the Western region, I'll give you one more chance. If the Morrisons back away now and stop protecting Leon, the Grimstons and the Underwood won't target the Morrisons. Otherwise, we will show no mercy!" Dorian stared at Caleb viciously.
If they tried to team up against Caleb, they would likely suffer great casualties and this would not benefit the Grimstons.
If Caleb could give up on protecting Leon, that would be ideal.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2876-"Umm…“ Upon hearing this, Caleb's complexion turned an uncertain shade of pale green.
He knew full well that the Morrisons' Mansion could never stand up against the forces of the Fermers, Grimstons, and Underwoods. Continuing to shelter Leon would be akin to walking straight into a death trap.
However, the Cynthion Group was a partner of the Morrisons' Mansion, and he had publicly declared his support for Leon in the face of the Fermers just moments ago. As the esteemed head of the Morrisons' Mansion, going back on his word in front of numerous ancient martial family forces would be a betrayal of trust.
The Morrisons' Mansion would likely become a laughingstock if he did so - a situation he could not bear to witness.
With these thoughts in mind, he found himself in a quandary, unsure of howto proceed. "Dad, I've advised you before;the Morrisons' Mansion should steer clear of the feud between Leon and the Fermers. But you refused to listen!
"However, there's still some room for maneuvering in this matter! In my opinion, it's best for the Morrisons' Mansion to withdraw promptly to avoid further embarrassment," Jayden chimed in, seizing the opportunity to continue his agenda, secretly pleased with the turn of events.
He had always advocated for the Morrisons' Mansion to abandon sheltering Leon. It was only after Hugo and Renee persuaded Caleb to change his mind that the Morrisons' Mansion found itself in this dilemma. Of course, this indirectly validated his stance as correct!
If Caleb were to adopt his suggestion now and cease protecting Leon, not only could the Fermers, Grimstons, and Underwoods teach Leon a lesson, but he could also regain favor with Caleb and several elders of the Morrisons' Mansion, effectively overshadowing Hugo. It would be a winwin situation, and he could not be happier.
"No, we can't do this! The Morrisons' Mansion cannot act in such a manner!
Caleb immediately vetoed.
Though he voiced his dissent, deep down, he fretted, pondering incessantly for a way out!
Alas, the gap in strength between both sides was too vast. Try as he might, he could not conjure up a suitable plan.
"Very well, then. Caleb, we've given you the chance, but since you refuse to cherish it, you've none to blame but yourselves!"
Upon hearing Caleb's refusal, Dorian was thoroughly provoked!
He wasted no more words, turning his gaze towards Cassius and Felton beside him.
"Cassius, join forces with US against the Morrisons!" "Felton, deal with Leon, that arrogant lad, under the banner of the Fermers!" "Hope the Fermers can swiftly resolve him, aiming for a quick resolution!"
Dorian promptly made arrangements.
"Good, follow the orders, members of the Underwoods and Fermers, prepare to strike!"
Cassius and Felton both acknowledged.
However, before their orders could even settle, a sudden change occurred.
"Dorian, Cassius, your families are prominent forces in the Western Just then, a mocking voice rang out.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2877-"Elder Daglesh, it's you!” "What do you mean by that?" "So, are you saying the Dagleshs also want to protect Leon?"
Elder Daglesh suddenly intervened, and his words seemingly indicated a defense for Leon. Seeing this, Dorian and Cassius's faces darkened. Their expressions were uncertain, unable to fathom why Elder Daglesh would stand up for Leon!
"That's right. President Wolf is a friend of our Dagleshs!
"If the Grimstons, Underwoods, and Fermers want to harm President Wolf relying on numbers and power, then you'll have to get past the Dagleshs first!"
Elder Daglesh snorted coldly, his tone resolute, leaving no room for doubt.
Leon had once saved his life, a debt of gratitude he held dear.
He had always remembered this kindness.
Out of gratitude towards Leon, he had initially intended to intervene when Felton and his men were attacking Leon earlier!
However, Caleb had stepped forward first, timely preventing Felton and the others from harming Leon. So he had restrained himself for the time being, refraining from acting recklessly.
However, Felton had another trick up his sleeve, actually joining forces with the Grimstons and Underwoods to go after Leon together. This was simply too much!
How could he stand idly by and allow Felton and the others to act recklessly?
"What?"
After receiving affirmation from Caleb, although Felton, Dorian, and Cassius had anticipated it to some extent, they could not help but be surprised!
Of course, they were not the only ones surprised!
Everyone present, whether it was Caleb and Hugo, or the other martial arts families, were equally astonished!
"How strange!" "Leon is just an outsider, unrelated to the Dagleshs!" "Why would Elder Daglesh risk offending the three major families just to help him?"
"It's unbelievable!" "Yeah, it seems this Leon is not simple at all. At least, he's much more formidable than we imagined!"
After the ancient martial arts families regained their composure, many of them could not help but whisper and discuss, their minds filled with doubts.
Although they did not know why Elder Daglesh would shelter Leon, there was one thing they were all very clear about. Leon, despite his young age, somehow managed to garner the protection of both the Morrison and Song families, two major forces, while simultaneously offending the Fermers, Grimstons, and Underwoods, three other major forces. 1 With his sole effort, he stirred up the situation among the five major forces in the Western Domains. He was definitely no ordinary person.
"Excellent, absolutely excellent!"
Contrary to the reactions of the various ancient martial arts families, Caleb was pleasantly surprised, even ecstatic.
He knew very well that the Daglesh family was one of the major forces in the Western Domains, on par with the Grimstons and Underwoods in terms of strength and influence.
Now that they had the Dagleshs helping to protect Leon along with the Morrisons' Mansion, his pressure had significantly eased, and he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He had not forgotten the incident outside the antique shop when Leon clashed with the Grimstons's experts.
He had not forgotten that.
However, back then, Leon was considering which family, between the Morrions and Dagleshs, to cooperate with.
Elder Daglesh's assistance to Leon could be understood as an effort to secure the cooperation of Cynthion Group. That was acceptable.
It would be reasonable for him to turn against Leon. But instead, not only did Elder Daglesh not turn against Leon, but he also continued to assist Leon in opposing Felton.
If that was not a display of flawed reasoning, what else could it be?
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2878-"Felton, the Dagleshs's decisions are not up to you to meddle in!" Elder Daglesh said coldly, not showing any favor to Felton.
"In any case, if your three families intend to harm President Wolf, our Dagleshs will not stand idly by!" Elder Daglesh continued, his tone firm.
"Elder Daglesh speaks well!" Caleb chimed in promptly. "If you wish to oppress President Wolf, you'll have to get through both our Morrisons' Mansion and the Dagleshs first!" "You…" Felton exploded in anger, but there was nothing he could do.
"Elder Daglesh, Caleb, you two don't need to be so arrogant!" Dorian sneered.
"Even if your two families protect Leon by force, so what? Our situation is two against three. Do you think your two families stand a chance?"
Though Leon had the support of the Morrisons and Dagleshs, they were up against a coalition of three major powers.
That was not all!
Due to the lack of preparation from the Morrisons and Dagleshs, Caleb only brought two elder members and some mid-level experts from the Morrisons' Mansion to ensure the security and order of the Cynthion Group's sales conference.
As for Elder Daglesh, he brought only a few Dagleshs experts to attend the Cynthion Group's sales conference!
In contrast, the Grimstons, Underwoods, and Fermers were well-prepared in advance.
The experts they mobilized were all elite members of their respective families, with strengths at least reaching the Semi Almighty state, and some even reaching the pinnacle of early or mid-stage Almighties!
Such a formidable lineup was beyond what the Morrisons and Dagleshs could match.
Both in terms of numbers and strength, it was clear who was stronger and who was weaker at a glance. There was no comparison whatsoever!
"Umm…" Caleb fell silent, at a loss for words. He knew that what Dorian said was true.
The Dagleshs, the Grimstons, and the Underwoods were all powerful clans of the same level. The cultivation of Elder Daglesh was more or less on par with both Dorian and Cassius!
In a direct confrontation, Elder Daglesh could at most handle one of either Dorian or Cassius. Moreover, with the few skilled individuals from the Dagleshs present, they would not be of much help!
Even with the support of the Dagleshs, the Morrisons' Mansion and the Dagleshs together would never have the ability to rival the Grimstons, the Underwoods, and the Fermers - the three major forces! Unless a miracle occurred!
"That's not necessarily true,” Elder Daglesh retorted. "Dorian, even though our sides are three against two, your side holds the advantage in numbers! But in terms of strength, Caleb and I might not necessarily lose to you!"
With a disdainful snort, Elder Daglesh released a surge of powerful true energy at the Intermediate Almighty State, immediately pressuring Dorian, Cassius, and Felton.
Especially Dorian and Cassius. As heads of powerful clans, their cultivation had reached the Intermediate Almighty state many years ago!
This was simply unbelievable!
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't dare believe it was real!"
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2879-"Elder Daglesh, I never expected your cultivation to break through to the "Fantastic, absolutely fantastic!" replied another.
While Dorian and Cassius, the two elders, reacted with some difference, Caleb, the old master, was overjoyed beyond measure.
Intermediate Almighty State was merely a small step in the realm of martial cultivation, each level-up represented a qualitative leap in strength.
three in the Intermediate state.
profound prowess and standing out even among his peers, the combination of his and the old master's formidable abilities could bridge the gap between their families and the Grimstons, Underwoods, and Farmers.
With their strength, it became uncertain who held the upper hand.
"How is this possible…" "Elder Daglesh, how did you suddenly advance to the Once the shock subsided, Dorian and Cassius wore expressions of disbelief, as if a storm had surged within them, leaving them unable to calm their thoughts.
As far as they knew, Elder Daglesh's cultivation had remained at the Intermediate state, just like theirs. But now, with Elder Daglesh nearing the twilight of his years and his physical condition not showing any signs of State was nothing short of miraculous.
"Exactly!" "Elder Daglesh, could you please enlighten US on how you managed Meanwhile, among the onlookers comprising various ancient martial arts families and factions, there were several elder warriors at the Intermediate Almighty State. Each of them looked at Elder Daglesh with faces full of astonishment, their eyes shining with fervor!
Clearly, their thoughts were similar to those of Dorian and Cassius. They could Almighty State.
Furthermore, due to their advanced age and declining physical functions, breaking through the martial bottleneck of the Intermediate Almighty State was extremely difficult for them!
If Elder Daglesh was willing to share the method of breakthrough with them, they might be able to emulate his approach and help themselves break through This was their greatest wish and dream in martial arts for many years!
"It wouldn't hurt to tell you!" Elder Daglesh said lightly. "A few days ago, it was State!"
As he spoke, he could not help but cast a grateful glance at Leon!
"What?" As Elder Daglesh's words came out, the entire audience was shocked, their jaws almost dropping to the ground!
This was simply unbelievable!
For a moment, the extent of their shock was unimaginable!
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2880-"It's no wonder Elder Daglesh was willing to risk going against the three major powers just to shelter Leon!" "Ah, I see." "Yeah, who would've thought Leon, a young nobody, would have the ability to assist an Intermediate Almighty state master in breaking through the martial arts bottleneck!" "His methods are indeed remarkable!"
After the shock wore off, the crowd erupted into chatter. Previously, they were puzzled as to why the Dagleshs would stick their neck out for Leon, who had no ties to them. But now, it all made sense.
State!
Of course, that was not the main point. What astounded them was the unheardof feat of aiding a martial artist in advancing their cultivation, especially assisting a master at the Warlord level in breaking through the martial arts bottleneck.
Leon accomplishing this was nothing short of a miracle!
However, that’s not all. Among the various ancient martial families attending the Cynthion Group's sales event, there were significant factions like the Dagleshs and Underwoods.
Take, for instance, the Rathbournes and Cades who initially rushed to collaborate with Leon at the hotel!
The heads of these major family forces and some elder figures within their clans had already reached the Intermediate Almighty State. Yet for years, they Now, opportunity knocked!
Since Leon could assist Elder Daglesh in breaking through the martial arts bottleneck, it was highly likely he could help them elevate their cultivation from With a single thought, their spirits immediately lifted, each of them looking eagerly at Leon in the center of the scene, their gazes as fervent as fire. It was as if they regarded Leon as a treasure, wishing for him to help them break through their current martial arts bottlenecks!
However, aiding martial artists in breaking through martial arts bottlenecks was too miraculous a thing!
Even if they racked their brains, they could guess that Leon must have paid a since they were not related to Leon, he could not just casually help them break through their martial arts bottlenecks!
They could not help but feel regretful about this, but they were helpless!
"Oh no!" "This is bad…"
Seeing this scene, Dorian, Cassius, and Felton’s expressions changed drastically, their moods instantly sinking! Especially Felton.
Initially, he thought that by teaming up with the Grimstons and Underwoods to deal with Leon, they could definitely resolve the Morrisons' Mansion and then easily capture Leon alive.
However, now, reality was far from his imagination, cruel indeed!
With Caleb and Elder Daglesh both protecting Leon, it would undoubtedly become much more difficult for him and the others to deal with Leon!
Many of the seniors from these prominent families and forces held Leon in high regard, even considering him a ’treasure"!
If he and the others continued to confront Leon, these prominent families and forces might come forward to protect Leon in order to befriend him.
