The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 651
Mason was honorable and reliable and was someone who deserved Leon’s trust.
Furthermore, Mason was in the underworld for so many years. He was incredibly experienced. When L eon established his own family in the future, Mason would be an excellent candidate to take care of thin gs.
The only regretful thing was that he only just started to establish his forces. He still had a long way to g o until he could find his own family. It could not be rushed.
“Mason, I think you know very well how important an Advanced Power class method is. Without my app roval, you’re not to tell anyone about Demon Execution!” Leon did not forget to tell Mason with a seriou s expression.
“I understand. Mister Wolf, don’t worry. I’ll keep this secret very well!” Mason assured.
“That’s good. I have to see the Southern King for something. Make sure to practice Demon Execution whenever you’re free. Don’t disappoint me,” Leon smiled and said.
“Yes,” Mason immediately answered before sending Leon out of the bar.
Looking at Leon riding the bike away, Mason found it hard to remain calm.
A few months ago, a lot of his territories were taken up by Xander because of his injuries. He was in a d ifficult position and could have been wiped away at any moment.
Yet, not only did Leon help him throw over Xander, he even taught Mason an amazing Advanced Powe r class training method. He felt like he was living a dream!
He felt incredibly fortunate. It was such a smart choice to join Leon back then. It was the best decision he
ever made!
At the Southern King’s mansion, Leon already gave Fane a call before he got there.
When he arrived, Fane and Vincent were already waiting at the door. After that, they welcomed him in.
“Mister Poole, I came without an invitation this time. Sorry for disturbing you,” Leon greeted.
“Mister Wolf, you’re being too polite. We’re all good friends here,” Vincent smiled and said.
After some pleasantries, they walked to the main hall and sat down.
“Mister Wolf, did you have something you need this time?” Fane could not help but ask.
“Oh, it’s like this. It’s been a while since I treated Missus Poole. I came over to give her a check– up to see how she’s been recovering. Also, I have something I need Mister Poole’s help for,” Leon briefl y explained.
“So that’s it. Mister Wolf, what do you need my help for? I’ll do my best to assist you!” Vincent said quic kly.
His wife recovered very well and was doing quite well. It was fine if Leon checked on her after they disc ussed
things.
“It’s about the Hunts of Seacove City.”
“After the sales drive yesterday, Mister Hunt was ambushed by a group of people in masks on the way
back
to Seacove City. They stole three Pure Energy Pills.” Leon recounted Quinton’s ambush to Vincent.
“What? Something like that happened?!”
Vincent was shocked after listening to everything.
He was not just shocked at Quinton being ambushed, but more so that the attackers sent out a Semi Ov

“Mister Poole, I’ve already asked the Shears for help to look into this, but I’ll have to ask you to help us when it comes to the underworld. Please have your me n look into it. We need to find out who those masked men. were!” Leon revealed his goal.
The Shears and the Pooles would both look into their respective sides, Leon believed that there would be some clues!
“Alright, that’s not a problem. I’ll have some men look into it right now!”
Vincent nodded and accepted it before he took out his phone to make a few calls, issuing the order.
Leon felt like the matter would probably not be done that quickly, so he decided to check on Vincent’s w ife first. He went with Vincent and Fane to the backyard.
In the room, Snow was giving her mother some medicine.
Gloria sat in front of the desk, elegantly taking the medicine.
“Snow, Leon’s medical skills and the medicine he issued me are amazing. In just a few days, I feel like my body has already recovered. It’s a few times better than before! If I ever see him again, I’ll thank hi m properly,” Gloria said with a smile, showering Leon’s medical skills with praise.
After resting for a few days, her body was practically fully recovered. Her old illness was gone as well.
It was just like Leon assured them, the illness that plagued her for more than ten years was completely cured!
It was obvious how thankful she was to Leon.
“That’s right, he’s not just very good at medicine, he even knows alchemy. Even his martial arts skills ar e absurdly strong.
“I don’t know how he did it when he’s so young!” Snow praised.
Thinking about Leon back during the sales drive and how he stunned everyone, she was full of admirati on.
“What alchemy?” Gloria was curious.
She was at home the whole time and did not step out. So, there was naturally no way she could have h eard
about Cynthion Group and Leon.
“It’s like this. Fane, me,, and dad went to Cynthion Group’s sales drive yesterday.”
Snow was immediately incredibly spirited as she told her mother everything that happened during the s ales
drive.
However, she was very unhappy about how Vincent offered her to Leon, and how Leon rejected it.
“Leon’s just too amazing. He is a very talented young man!”
Gloria was stunned, and could not resist praising Leon.
Just as the two of them were chatting, footsteps were heard as Vincent, Fane, and Leon walked inside.
“Leon, w–what are you here?!”
Snow was shocked when she saw Leon. After that, her expression sank as she started to look unhappy.
Gloria was stunned. She looked at Leon before looking at Snow, and she had a strange expression on h
Earlier, Snow was so happy talking about the sales drive, and she sounded like she respected Leon a lo
Yet, when Snow saw Leon, she seemed completely different. She did not seem to like Leon at all.
Gloria wondered what was up with her daughter.
“Snow, what are you doing? Miser Wolf came here to check on your mother!” Vincent stared at his daug
unhappily.
He knew that his daughter and Leon were quite friendly, so he could not understand what was happenin
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 653
Snow scoffed, turning away and ignoring Leon.
Leon rubbed his nose. He was quite stunned, not knowing when he offended Snow.
“Mister Wolf, didn’t you come to check on me? Let’s start, then,” Gloria changed the topic as she reach ed her
arm out.
Leon put Snow aside for the moment as he started to check up on Snow.
After a long time, Leon stood back up.
“Mister Wolf, how is my wife’s condition?” Vincent asked with concern.
“She’s been recovering very well. As long as she continues taking the medicine for a few days, she’ll m ake a full recovery,” Leon smiled and said.
“That’s great news!” Vincent laughed happily.
Even though she could tell that his wife was doing quite well, Leon was the professional. With Leon’s answer,
he felt much better.
“Mister Wolf, thank you so much. You didn’t just save my life, you even treated my illness for many years. I don’t know how to repay you for this,” Gloria bowed to Leon in gratitude.
“Missus Poole, it was nothing worth mentioning,” Leon said in a hurry.
After that, he told Gloria to pay attention to a few things before he bid his farewell.
Vincent saw that it was almost noon, so he asked Leon to stay for lunch, but Leon rejected it.
“Dad, I’ll help you send Leon off,” Snow suggested.
“Yes, that’s alright,” Vincent looked at his daughter strangely.
His daughter acted acting so unfriendly to Leon before, but she was offering to send Leon off. Vincent was getting confused.
Leon was very confused as well, not understanding what was happening with Snow.
Only Gloria had a faint smile on her lips, seemingly understanding something.
After that, Snow and Leon walked to the gates of the mansion.
The two of them were silent the whole time. No one said anything, and the atmosphere was a bit strang e.
As the gate got closer, Leon was still silent. Snow was getting angrier and angrier.
“Leon, are you just going to leave like this?” Snow could finally not take it anymore, and broke the silen ce.
“Of course, what else would I do?” Leon was confused.
“You-”
Snow was incredibly frustrated. After that, she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, sayi something to me?”
“What should I be saying?” Leon was even more confused.
“What do you think? Don’t you know what you did at the sales drive yesterday?” Snow said with a huff.
“That-”
Leon thought about it and realized, “Snow, are you angry because I rejected your father yesterday?”
“It’s good that you know!” Snow said coldly.
“Marriage isn’t something to be played around with. Your father just happened to mention it yesterday, w

“What do you mean by that? You rejected my father in front of all the major families. It’s as if you think I’m

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 655
However, she was already three or four years older than Leon. She preferred men that were more mature, so she never had any such intention s for Leon.
In her eyes, she did see Leon as a brother.
At least, that was the way she thought!
At the front gate, Snow looked around and said curiously, “Hey, Leon, where’s your

“A bike? You rode a bike here? You didn’t drive?” Snow was surprised.
“Yes, I don’t have a driver’s license,” Leon smiled awkwardly.
car?”
“You don’t have a driver’s license? Haha, how could you not have one in this day and age?”
“Why are you so funny?” Snow could not stop herself from laughing. When she laughed, she looked. st unning.
Leon was speechless, and he felt even more awkward.
He was considered the top young man in his generation by all the major families in Springfield City, but he did not even have a license. It really was quite embarrassing.
“Alright, I’ll stop laughing at you now, but you definitely can’t keep on going around without a driver’s lic ense. Why don’t I use some of my connections to get your driver’s license? I guarantee you, it’ll only ta ke ten days at most,” Snow said with a smile.
“Alright, thank you for that,” Leon nodded, not rejecting Snow’s kindness.
“Let’s go! I’ve never sat on a bike before. I’m in a good mood today, so I feel like riding a bike and feelin g the breeze. Why don’t you bring me shopping on your bike?” Snow said happily.
“Are you sure about that?” Leon had a strange expression on his face.
“Of course I’m sure! What? Is there a problem with that?” Snow was curious.
“It’s nothing. Since you want to ride along with me, I’ll just do as you please.”
Leon smiled meaningfully. After that, he got on the motorcycle and Snow sat behind him. The two of the m sped off.
Before too long, Snow started to regret it.
Even though the motorcycle was made for men, and there was much more space than the one Leon’s used before, it was still useless.
After Leon slammed on the brakes a few times, Snow could not stop herself from slamming onto Leon’ s back.
Feeling the softness on his back, Leon was feeling quite elated.
In truth, he was not trying to take advantage of Snow, but the feeling on his back stirred a lot of beautifu l
memories.
He thought about those happy days when he just joined Elegante.
Among them, Lily, Ariel and Iris all sat on his bike before.
Iris, in particular, meant so much to him.
Yet, time moved on and waited for no man.
Iris returned to her family with a depressed look on her face.
In the main hall, both Elder Young and Gilbert knew that Iris planned on asking Leon to get back togethe
Not long after that, the two of them walked over when they saw that Iris was back.
“Iris, how did getting back with Leon go? Did he agree?” Gilbert said anxiously.
“He-”
Iris opened her mouth, but she could not suppress the sadness in her heart as she started to cry.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 656
“Iris, w–what happened?” Elder Young was shocked as he hurried over to help Iris take a seat.
“Did Leon say no to getting back together?” Gilbert’s expression changed as he vaguely started to
understand.
Iris did not answer. She started to sob even harder on the table, unable to stop her tears at all.
Only after losing something would you understand how valuable it was.
Back then, she spent every day with Leon. Leon never held back in his care for her, but she never treas ured it properly.
Even after breaking up with Leon, she always felt like Leon was still by her side, never leaving because there were so many traces of Leon at home and the company.
Yet, when she found out that Leon was Cynthia’s boyfriend, she finally realized that she completely lost him!
It was a huge blow to her!
At that moment, she regretted it. She should not have broken up with Leon for the sake of the family, a nd she started to deeply regret not trusting Leon!
If she just believed Leon unconditionally back then, she would not have been affected by her grandfath er and her father. She deeply hurt Leon and wrongfully blamed him. There was no way Leon would hav e gone into Cynthia’s arms otherwise!
Unfortunately, it was already too late for any regrets!
“How could this be?”
Both Gilbert and Elder Young were shocked.
Even though Iris did not answer it clearly, the two of them could still guess from how sad Iris was that L eon must have rejected her!
“Iris, what happened? Leon still has feelings for you. Why did he reject you?” Elder Young had an uncertain
look on his face.
“Leon is already Cynthia’s boyfriend. T–they’re already together,” Iris cried and stammered out.
“What? How is that possible?! If Leon was Cynthia’s boyfriend, then why didn’t he announce it during th e sales drive?” Elder Young and Gilbert were shocked.
“I don’t know why either, but I heard Leon admit it himself. How could it not be true?”
Iris was sobbing incredibly sadly.
Iris was always cold and serious in the business world. This was the first time she ever lost her compos ure so
badly.
“That-” Elder Young and Gilbert were both uncertain.
Even though they had their doubts, it should be true if Iris heard it for herself. There was no way they co
Of course, they never would have even dreamed that Iris did not see Leon the whole time!
“It looks like I was mistaken,” Elder Young sighed as his mood sank.
He planned on getting Leon back through Iris, but the results were out of his expectations.
His only sliver of hope was extinguished!
Leon was not only working with the Shears but even Cynthia’s boyfriend. The two sides had an incredib
The Youngs could do nothing but give up on Leon.
“Whatever, our family did this to us. We can’t blame others! In the end, Iris, it was my fault. I ruined your regret.
Since the Youngs could no longer get Leon back, he was forced to accept it.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 657
However, due to his mistakes, he ruined a beautiful relationship with his granddaughter. He did blame h imself quite a bit for it.
It was just a pity that they were already past the point of any return!
“I-” Iris felt even sad.
She knew very well that Elder Young and Gilbert both held a lot of responsibility for what happened.
However, they were still her family. Her break up with Leonw was already set in stone, what was the poi nt of blaming them?
Leon would no longer return to her side!
“Please, it’s just a man! Iris, you’re still the top of the four beauties of Springfield City and the heiress of the Youngs. Do you have to be so sad for a man? You’d be laughed at if word got out!”
At that moment, a laugh of disdain was heard as Daisy walked inside.
Daisy already heard about Iris planning on getting back together with Leon from Gilbert.
Seeing how sad Iris was, she did not even need to guess to know that Leon rejected Iris!
It was amazing news for her. The smile on her face was massive.
“This is my matter. It has nothing to do with you!” Iris was furious as she stood up.
Daisy and she never got along. There was no way she would stand for Daisy’s snide remarks. The ang er in her heart burned even more intensely.
With that anger, the sadness started to cool down.
“What? Did I hit a sensitive spot and get you angry?” Daisy smiled mockingly.
“Daisy, can you keep quiet? Iris is so sad right now. It’s one thing if you don’t want to console her, but w hy are you trying to make it worse!” Gilbert said unhappily.
“I’m not, I’m just speaking the truth! Iris, you always put yourself so high up, and never even looked at any man. What happened to all of that? You are so depressed for th e sake of a wild man like that, it’s so shameful!
Daisy mocked.
”
Iris was always noble and refined. It was rare for her to be in such a state. There was no way Daisy wou
“You!” Iris was furious, but she had nothing else to say.
“Daisy, shut up! You’re responsible for the situation getting to where it is as well. I haven’t even settled th

“Nonsense! Leon has no grudges against the Youngs, and he even saved my grandfather. How could he

Leon’s head hurt, not understanding what Snow was thinking.
“Of course not! I only see you as a brother. I wouldn’t let you off easily if you dared to accept my father’ s offer then!” Snow immediately rebuked.
“Then isn’t this fine? Fane and I are good brothers. I see you as a sister as well. So, wouldn’t rejecting i t have. been my only choice then?” Leon hurriedly said.
“Oh, you do make sense.”
Snow calmed down a lot, but she was still a bit unhappy. She said, “But you still embarrassed me yeste rday, that’s the truth! I bet a lot of people are talking about me right now. I’m one of the four beauties of Springfield City, and the heiress of the Pooles. Even though I was practically being given to you, you still rejected me! How do you think I’m supposed to show my face in public in the future?!” Snow was m ore and more unhappy as she spoke.
“That-” Leon was speechless.
He finally understood the gist of it. Snow was angry because she felt like she was embarrassed.
It was just like Ruth from the day before. Ruth got angry from the shame and challenged him in front of everyone to regain her honor.
However, he was more skilled and managed to defeat Ruth. Otherwise, he would have been thoroughly . embarrassed if he lost to Ruth.
In the end, he felt like rejecting the Pooles and the Collins was wrong. However, Ruth and Snow were p rideful goddesses. They could not accept being rejected by a man!
In the end, women were unreasonable. Even Snow and Ruth were no exception.
“Alright, I’m sorry for what happened yesterday,” Leon said with a sigh.
He knew that there was no reason with women. He had a pretty decent relationship with Snow as well, so he did not want such a small matter to become anything serious.
So he decided to just say a few words to console her.
“Is just a simple apology enough? Wouldn’t that be letting you off too easily?!” Snow rolled her eyes at Leon.
“Then what do you want? If you’re not happy about it, you can hit me a few times,” Leon said.
“What’s the point of me hitting you?”
Snow suddenly had a thought and said, “Why don’t we do this? I’m not in a good mood. Go shopping w ith me and buy me some clothes. I’ll take that as compensation.”
“Go shopping with you? Wouldn’t that be inappropriate?” Leon hesitated.
He was not Snow’s boyfriend. Going shopping with an amazing beauty like Snow alone would be a bit
awkward.
“Why would it be inappropriate? You just said you see me as a sister. Isn’t it normal for a sister to go
shopping with her brother? What? Were you just lying to me just now? You don’t see me as a sister at a
“I wasn’t lying.”
“Fine, I’ll just go with you,” Leon said in exasperation.
“That’s more like it! Let’s go shopping then.”
Snow immediately smiled. After that, she grabbed Leon’s risk and quickly walked outside.
In truth, ever since Leon helped her teach Jacob a lesson the first time, she started to like Leon a little.
After that, Leon put his own life at risk to save her mother, which intensified her feelings.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 658
Of course, if she was able to believe in Leon so unconditionally from the start, they would not have brok en
up!
“It’s up to you if you want to believe it or not, but I won’t say any more!” Daisy smiled in disdain.
She just wanted to deliberately instigate Iris a little. Leon was not willing to get back together with Iris a nyway, so it was not important if Iris believed in it or not!
Just as Iris and Daisy were staring at each other, a frantic set of footsteps were heard. Randy quickly w alked inside.
“Elder, the Northern King is here with his men. He says he has something very important he wants to m eet you for,” Randy said.
“The Northern King, Harold Lowe? The Youngs have never had many dealings with him before, so why is he here?”
Elder Young and Gilbert were shocked.
“Randy, bring him in,” Elder Young said, wanting to see what Harold’s goal was.
“Yes,” Randy answered before he left.
Iris was in an incredibly bad mood. She was in no condition to continue arguing with Daisy. She said, G randfather, I’m tired. I’ll go upstairs to rest.”
“Yes, go get some rest.”
Elder Young nodded, and Iris went upstairs alone.
Not long after that, Randy brought Harold into the main hall.
Behind Harold was his son, Jacob, and a few experts under him..
“Greetings, Elder Young,” Harold greeted.
Even though he was a king in the underworld, Elder Young was still of an older generation. He did not d are to act too arrogantly in front of Elder Young.
“Please, sit,” Elder Young motioned to Harold and the others.
After a few pleasantries, Elder Young asked, “Northern King, do you have a reason for this visit?”
“Elder Young, it’s like that. My son, Jacob, has always liked Iris. I came here to suggest an engagement !”
Harold practically dropped a bomb.
“What? An engagement?” Elder Young and Gilbert were completely shocked.
“That’s right! Miss Young is the top of the four beauties of our city. She is talented and beautiful. Even th
“That-”
“Northern King, I’m sorry. Iris hasn’t been in a good mood lately. We don’t have any plans for her marriag
“Elder Young, don’t be in such a hurry to reject it. Why don’t you listen to our offer first? It wouldn’t be too
He seemed to have already anticipated the Youngs‘ rejection and was not put off by it.
Before Elder Young and Gilbert could answer, Daisy was the first to speak up, “Oh? What offer is that?”
“Elder Young, I know the Youngs don’t need any money, so that would be too bad of a wedding gift. To s
“What?” Elder Young and Gilbert were both shocked as they stood up at the same time.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 659
The greatest forces in Springfield City were the four families, but the two Kings were no slouches!
In the past, political marriages were not uncommon between major families. However, they were usuall y to forge alliances, and both sides were equal.
Yet, Harold mentioned being subordinate to the Youngs. They were willing to work under the Youngs.
It was like how the Four Tigers served under the two Kings!
It was obvious how much Harold was offering for the marriage!
“Northern King, are you joking? This isn’t funny at all!” Elder Young said.
“I’m not joking. Everything I said is serious!” Harold said sincerely.
“But why? You’re one of the top figures in Springfield City. This isn’t like you at all!” Elder Young was full of disbelief.
Everyone knew that the two Kings stood at the top of the underworld. They were both very powerful fig ures!
He did not think that Harold would join the Youngs just like that. It did not seem real!
If he trusted Harold so easily, then all his experiences would have been for naught!
“Elder Young, let me be honest! You should know very well that our family has some grudges against Leon. Leon is already with the Shears right now. With his help, the Shears will stand at the top of Springfield City one day. If that happens, our family will be in a difficult spot!
“I’m willing to submit to the Youngs firstly because my son likes your granddaughter, and secondly because. I want to work with the Youngs to deal with them before the Shears and Leon can get stronger!” Harold said
with conviction.
“That-” Elder Young had some thoughts on his mind.
He saw for himself how unfriendly Leon’s relationship with the Lowes, Fields, and Collins were in Cynth ion Group’s sales drive.
Harold’s words were not untrue, so he started to trust them a bit.
“Northern King, you have the wrong person! Leon saved me before. The Youngs will not help you deal with him!” Elder Young said calmly.
“Elder Young, I know that Leon has helped your family, but I know he has grudges against you as well! Forgive me for being straight with you, but the Youngs forcib
During the sales drive, the Youngs were the ones who had a conflict with Leon first. He was there, so he
“Surely not!” Elder Young and Gilbert’s expressions changed.
Even though the two of them said that they knew that Harold was not exactly wrong. The two of them hu

Even if Leon was willing to forgive them, the Youngs will have to submit to the Shears if the Shears beco
It would be no good for their family!
“Elder Young, there are no friends that last forever, only profits! Before the Shears and Leon can grow, w
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 660
Harold continued to add oil to the fire.
“But-“Elder Young was still hesitant.
He was the head of the Youngs, there was no way he did not know the threat they posed!
However, Leon saved his life before. He already wrongly accused Leon once. If he targeted Leon again, it would be completely immoral!
“Elder Young, don’t worry. With the Dragon Corps around, there’s no way we can kill Leon and the She ars! I just think that the Youngs will grow much stronger after I join you, and you’ll stand at the top of the four families!
“Then, you’ll be able to summon up the other families to work together and destroy Cynthion Group or even threaten Leon to split the profits. That would be enough! We can let Leon and the Shears monopo lize everything no matter what!” Harold advised, but there was a cold glint in his eyes.
His target was not as simple as just Leon!
“Dad, I think the Northern King is right! We can’t just let Leon and the Shears grow. Otherwise, our profi ts might suffer. We might even get destroyed! We can’t just ignore this!” Gilbert said with worry. He was convinced by Harold.
“Yes, that makes sense,” Elder Young started to be swayed as well.
In truth, Elder Young had his sights further than Gilbert. If the Northern King joined the Youngs, then suppressing the Shears and Leon and getting rid of future tr oubles was just one thing!
On the other hand, with the Northern King’s support, even if the Youngs were not able to completely take control of Springfield City, they would at least become the strongest of the four families!
It was his greatest wish in all his years. It would be a lie to say he was not tempted!
“No, I refuse!” An angry shout was heard at that moment. Iris was coming downstairs.
She heard everything that was said between Elder Young and Harold from upstairs. She never expecte d that Harold was there to mention marriage!
“So, Miss Young is here too.”
Harold and Jacob’s smiles stiffened when they heard Iris‘ rejection.
Iris ignored the others and walked right to Elder Young.
“Grandfather, I won’t agree to this!” Iris was shocked and angered.
The
