The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 791

Ariel sighed. She was in love with Leon and since she could not bring herself to leave him behind, she could only stand by his side.

“Don’t worry. Like I said, it’s going to be fine,” Leon smiled, but did not elaborate further.

Twenty minutes passed and they heard footsteps approaching.

“Baam!”

Following a deafening sound, the door was kicked open and Jacob strode in with a few bodyguards.

“Mister Lowe!” Ashwin and the others were overjoyed and crawled their ways toward Jacob.

“Who dared to destroy our plan? Are they trying to die or something?!” Jacob roared viciously.

“Mister Lowe, that’s the guy!” Ashwin and Mister Mabre pointed at Leon resentfully.

Jacob turned to the direction they were pointing at and spotted Ariel, before noticing Leon.

“He’s so scary,” Ariel paled and was instantly intimidated by the malicious look in Jacob’s eyes.

She was only an ordinary civilian who rarely came into contact with powerful figures, so Jacob was the only powerful figure in Springfield City that she ca me to meet apart from Iris and she could sense how influential he had to be just by one look.

Her heart sank as she worried for Leon’s sake since he crossed Jacob, but what happened next shook her to the core.

“Leon Wolf?!” Jacob paled slightly when he finally saw Leon.

His other men reported to him that they were facing a fighter specializing in external power, but he neve r expected to find Leon.

“I didn’t expect to see you again so soon, Jacob!” Leon smiled.

“How dare you?! Leon, Mister Lowe is far more superior than you and you don’t get to call him by his n ame! Ashwin jumped on his feet and roared at Leon. With Jacob behind his back, his smugness and arr ogance

resumed.

“Shut it!” Jacob narrowed his eyes coldly and kicked Ashwin down.

Leon rose to such a high position in the community and not even Jacob dared to cross him, yet Ashwin w

“Mister Lowe, why did you hit me?” Ashwin fell onto the ground covering his stomach.

“You idiot! So what if I hit you?! Do you know who this guy is?! He’s the chairman of Cynthion Group!” Jacob gritted out.

“What? He’s the chairman? How’s that possible?” Stunned, Ashwin could not believe his ears for a moment.

Two months ago, Leon was working as a secretary for the director in Elegante Group, yet he managed t

transform himself to the chairman of Cynthion Group within such a short period of time.

Though Ashwin struggled to believe it, he knew that Jacob had no reasons to lie to him.

“Leon, how did you become the chairman of Cynthion Group?” Ariel, too, was shocked and turned to Le

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 792

“I told you that I found a company with a partner and that’s Cynthion Group,” Leon explained.

“I see!” Ariel said. She recalled Leon mentioning it and thought that Cynthion Group was merely a small company. However, since Jacob knew about Cynthion Group, she realized that it might be a famous c ompany after all and was confused as to why she never heard of it in the past.

Ashwin and Mister Mabre felt the same. Since neither of them heard of Cynthion Group, they assumed that it was an insignificant company.

“So, he’s the Chairman of Cynthion Group!” Unlike Ariel, Ashwin and Mister Mabre, Dexter and Warren gaped.

They were both martial artists and heard about Cynthion. They simply failed to guess that Leon was the chairman because of what Ashwin said to them.

It was not until Jacob informed them about Leon’s true identity that they realized they might have crossed the wrong person.

“It’s just a fameless company. What’s the big deal?” Ashwin and Mister Mabre scoffed, unable to understand wh y Dexter and Warren would be intimidated by a company that no one knew about.

“What do you two know? Cynthia Group is run by the Shears and it might not have a place in the gener al economy of Springfield City now, it is extremely influential among martial artists!” Dexter and Warren said.

“What? Is it that powerful a company?” Ashwin and Mister Mabre’s jaws dropped.

Though Cynthion Group was not known among ordinary people, the Shears was one of the Four Major Families in Springfield City and there was hardly a person who did not know about them. None of them expected Cynthion Group to be related to the Shears.

“Of course! Most importantly, not only is this young man great at alchemy, he is extremely talented in m artial arts and is currently being referred to as the best martial artist of his generation!” Dexter and Warr en said fearfully.

“Him? The best of his generation? How’s that possible?” Ashwin and Mister Mabre gasped in disbelief.

Ashwin knew that Leon was an orphan who divorced once in the past and that he was chased out by his

It was foreseeable that Leon would soon become one of the most powerful men in Springfield City and

Ashwin was shaken to the core by this realization.

“Leon, are you really the best of your generation?” Ariel turned to Leon in disbelief as her heart raced.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 793

She could not comprehend how Leon, who had no power or money, could become the best of his gene ration. in Springfield City/

“Ariel, they’re just saying that. It’s not real,” Leon chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head in

embarrassment.

He always preferred to keep a low profile and did not like being referred to as the best of his generation by

the others.

“What the-”

Ariel, Ashwin and Mister Mabre were all stunned. Though Leon was humble and refused to accept such a title, it also proved that it was true that he was referred to as the best of his generation by all the fami lies in Springfield City.

There were plenty of direct descendants from different lineages, some of the most brilliant individuals li ke Harvey and Anson and they all had powerful families behind their backs. However, Leon, who had n o background at all, managed to surpass others to become the best of his generation.

This was proof of how brilliant Leon was and it completely changed the way Ariel and Ashwin saw Leon .

“Enough chit– chatting, Leon! The Lowes are going to acquire Elegante Group and all discussion about this has ende d. We are about to sign the contract for it, yet you tried to sabotage us. Why?” Jacob questioned.

“That’s what I want to ask! Jacob Lowe, what are you plotting? Why did you have someone acquire Ele gante Group on your behalf?” Leon retorted.

“How’s that any of your business? Leon Wolf, if I’m not mistaken, you broke up with Iris and the Youngs casted you out! They treated you like a dog and you are still coming at us for their sake. Just how chea p can

be?” Jacob mocked.

Through the relationship between Harold and Daisy, Jacob knew Leon like the back of his hand. He kn ew that Leon used to be Iris’s boyfriend and was informed of all the details about the relationship betwe en Leon and the Youngs.

Since Leon insisted on getting involved, it was not hard to guess that Leon was only doing so because he still had feelings for Iris.

Mister Mabre reported to Jacob that there was a buyer willing to offer 780 million to take over Elegante. Group

“I-” Leon’s expression darkened, knowing that Jacob was right.

The Youngs turned against him, yet he still struggled to forget about Iris.

“I can do whatever I want, Jacob. You have no right to comment about it! Iris worked really hard for year

“Stop trying to act all righteous. You’re doing all these for Iris Young. Don’t be too greedy. You are alread Shear’s boyfriend and you’re still hung up on Iris Young? If Cynthia finds out about this, she’ll chase

you out as well. Let’s see how smug you can be once you lose the Shears‘ support!”

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 794

Jacob was filled with jealousy.

Ever since his father made a marriage proposal to the Youngs on his behalf to marry Iris, Iris was

determined to turn him down and he realized that she was still in love with Leon; Iris was only forced to give

up on Leon because Leon started seeing Cynthia.

Iris and Cynthia were two of the Four Beauties with one ranking at the very top and the other ranking after her. Both women were goddesses that all men in Springfield dreamed about.

Jacob was no exception to this and always fantasized about making one of them his, but they never se emed to take an interest in him. Hence, he could not accept the fact that Leon managed to attract and date both of

them.

“This guy is Cynthia Shear’s boyfriend, the future grandson–in– law to Elder Shear?!” Ashwin and Mister Mabre gasped.

They already knew from earlier conversation that the Shears were running Cynthion Group, but did not expect Leon to be this close to the Shears.

Ashwin, who knew about Leon’s background and that he dated Iris in the past, could not understand ho w such a man could attract the attention of both Iris and Cynthia.

‘How can a man be this lucky?!‘ He thought to himself.

“Leon, he said that you’re Cynthia’s boyfriend. Is that true?” Shocked, Ariel gaped at Leon.

She suppressed her feelings toward Leon, knowing that he might return to Iris someday and that she c ould not steal her best friend’s man. However, if Leon was dating Cynthia, Ariel did not know what Iris w ould think, nor did she know what to do in the future.

“No, don’t listen to him. Cynthia isn’t my girlfriend,” Leon shook his head.

Though he could not deny that he did start to develop feelings for Cynthia, he never accepted Cynthia because he was still in love with Iris, so what Jacob said about him being Cynthia’s boyfriend was false.

“Good, then.” Ariel sighed a breath of relief.

“I don’t care if Cynthia is your girlfriend, Leon. Since you’ve broken up with Iris, you have no business g etting involved with what’s happening to the Youngs! If you know what’s best for you, you will stay out o f this, or I will make you suffer for it!” Jacob warned him.

“And if I insist on getting involved? What can you do about it?” Leon said.

“How arrogant! You might have reached Advanced Supreme State at a young age, but you are far from

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 795

Ashwin and Mister Mabre, too, noticed the dark expression on Leon’s face and were both excited.

‘Forget what they say about him being the best of his generation. Looks like Mister Lowe is far more po werful, after all!‘ They thought to themselves.

“Leon, why don’t we call it quits now? We can’t afford to cross the Lowes. If they want Elegante Group, just let them have it,” Ariel said.

She could tell that Leon did not stand a chance and since he tried his best, she did not want him to get himself killed over Elegante Group.

The Lowes were so powerful that Leon was bound to suffer and she did not want to be a witness to that .

“No way. I’m not letting this go! I said so before. I won’t let others have Elegante Group!” Leon shook hi s head with determination.

“Know your place! Leon, I’ll give you one last chance out of respect for the Shears! Kneel before me an d apologize until I’m satisfied. I might consider letting you live!” Jacob said viciously.

He was involved in several conflicts with Leon in the past and lost every single time. He was forced to k neel to Snow in public and Jacob considered that the worst humiliation he ever experienced.

He asked Leon to kneel and apologize because he wanted to insult Leon to take revenge for what Leon did to him in the past.

Naturally, even if Leon did as he was told, Jacob had no intention of letting Leon go unscathed.

“That’s a good idea, Jacob! If you kneel before me right now, I can consider letting you go!” Leon smile d.

“Why you! Very well! You asked for this!” Jacob sneered and commanded the two men behind him, “teach this kid a lesson so that he knows his place!”

“Yes, sir!” The two men said in unison, before stepping forward.

Leon’s expression darkened. Knowing that he was far from being capable of defeating two martial artist s at the Advanced Supreme State, he moved his wrist and a Dragon pill rolled down his sleeve and ont o his hand. He flicked his finger, sending the pill into his mouth and swallowed it.

“This guy is quite strong. Can two bodyguards defeat him?” Ashwin and Mister Mabre watched as the t wo bodyguards surrounded Leon and though they were fairly sure that Leon would be defeated, they w ere still concerned about unforeseen factors since Leon was referred to as the best martial artist in his generation.

“Don’t worry. Leon has just reached the Advanced Supreme State and everyone in this city knows about

“He doesn’t stand a chance facing those two!”

Dexter and Warren commented confidently. Since they were also martial artists, they could tell that the t

the situation.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 796

Even they could tell that Leon was bound to die.

“Leon, I’ve given you plenty of chances, yet you continue to challenge my patience. I haven’t had the c hance to deal with you yet, and here you are giving me the chance to do so. I’m going to make you pay for every single thing you did right here and now!” Jacob sneered.

“Make me pay? You? As if!” Leon smirked in contempt.

Upon consuming the Dragon Pill, his power level rose to the Peak Supreme State with just a short dista nce away from the Semi– Overlord State; even if he was facing two martial artists at the Peak Supreme State, he might still stand a chance in winning.

“You’re all talk! Ralph, Rocco, break his legs and bring him down on his knees before me! Let’s see if he can continue being so stubborn then!” Jacob commanded the men behind him.

“Brat, prepare to die!” The two men darted toward Leon at the speed of lightning; the force from their fis ts pierced through the air, forming a strong wind that swirled in the room.

“Woah!” Both Ashwin and Mister Mabre gasped.

Neither of them could imagine how terrifying martial artists were and even if they were a far distance a way from the center of the storm, they could still feel how powerful the attacks were on their skin.

At that very moment, they felt both impressed and confident.

“Leon, watch out!” Ariel paled.

She was standing closer and was only more intimidated compared to Ashwin and Mister Mabre. She di d not doubt for a moment that Leon would be torn into pieces if he took those two punches.

“Ariel, stand behind me!” Leon took a step forward to shield Ariel from the wind, before launching two p unches toward the two men charging toward him.

Both men narrowed their eyes dangerously and roared, “Die!”

They both reached the Advanced Supreme State long ago and were above average among martial arti sts of the same level, so they were certain that they triumphed over Leon, who just reached the Advanced Supreme State. However, not only did Leon not attempt to dodge , he was trying to face their attacks directly at the

same time.

In their perspective, Leon’s attempt was nothing but a suicidal one.

They strengthened the power around their fists and charged forward.

“How foolish!” Jacob sneered when he saw Leon’s motions.

Leon was only at the Advanced Supreme State and if he moved around swiftly, he might be able to surv directly at the same time.

Jacob was confident that Leon would be disabled within the matter of seconds.

“Destroy that kid!” Ashwin and Mister Mabre waved their fists in the air and shouted in excitement.

They already witnessed how terrifying Ralph and Rocco’s power was.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 797

Leon would die if he took the attacks directly.

“It’s over,” Ariel’s heart sank as she closed her eyes to avoid witnessing the scene where Leon was torn into

shreds.

“Baam!”

Before the looks of contempt from Jacob and the others, Leon’s fists collided with Ralph and Rocco.

The two men spat blood as they were sent flying, before hitting the wall behind them and collapsing ont o the ground.

“Wh–How’s that possible?!” Jacob’s jaw dropped.

Everyone else was stunned as well.

None of them expected Ralph and Rocco, instead of Leon, to be on the ground.

Jacob, who learned from the previous sales drive that Leon recently reached the Advanced Supreme State, could not believe that two martial artists in the Advanced Supreme State would fail to withstand a single

attack from Leon.

“Dexter, Warren, didn’t you two say that Master Lowe’s bodyguards are going to win?” Ashwin and Mist er Mabre froze. They trusted Dexter and Warren, yet their hope shattered right before them.

“What?” Dexter and Warren swallowed hard in disbelief, unable to comprehend how Leon, a man in the Advanced Supreme State, could defeat both Ralph and Rocco with such ease.

Meanwhile, Ralph and Rocco crawled up from the ground, covering their chests in pain.

“Mister Lowe, he’s not in the Advanced Supreme State. There’s a high chance that he’s reached the Pe ak Supreme State. We’ve underestimated him,” Ralph and Rocco realized that Leon was far stronger t han he

allowed it to show.

“Peak Supreme State? No wonder!” Feeling as though he was struck by lightning, Jacob came to a realization. that Leon Supreme State or above to injure both Ralph and Rocco with a single blow.

It was a one–in–a– million miracle. While others struggled for years for a breakthrough, it appeared to be as easy as taking

“I-” Leon opened his mouth to speak, but could not decide what to say.

In truth, he was only in the Intermediate Supreme State and temporarily rose to the Peak Supreme State

with the help of the Dragon Pill. However, the Dragon Pill was his last resort and he could not possibly let Jacob know about it.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 798

“Enough, Jacob Lowe! Come at me if you can!” Leon said.

‘Like I can!!‘ Jacob thought to himself furiously as he suppressed the urge to curse out loud.

“Leon, you win this time! You can have Elegante Group if you want! I am a busy man and I don’t have ti me to waste with you!” Jacob forced a smile and turned to leave reluctantly.

Since Leon reached the Peak Supreme State, he had no means to defeat Leon and staying would only give

Leon the chance to toy with him.

He was not that foolish.

“Leaving already? I won’t let you!” Leon sneered, before darting forward to block Jacob’s way.

“What do you think you are doing? I’ve already told you that you can have Elegante Group. What else d o you want?” Jacob questioned sharply.

“What do you think? You wanted to break my legs and bring me down on my knees before you, right? I think it’s a great idea and I’m contemplating if I should break your right leg, or your left leg first!” Leon s mirked evilly as he walked toward Jacob.

“How dare you?!” Jacob paled as he regretted challenging Leon in the first place and digging his own g rave in the process.

“You want to see if I dare to do it?” Leon cracked his knuckles and grinned.

“Do- Don’t come any closer,” terrified, Jacob took a few steps back and shouted, “I’m warning you, Leon Wolf. You might be powerful, but you can’t afford to cross the Lowes! If you dare to hurt me at all, my dad will kill you!”

“I don’t know if Harold Lowe is going to kill me, but I know that I’m not letting you go that easily!” Leon smirked devilishly as he narrowed his eyes.

“Why you!” Jacob was drenched in sweat as he stared into the malicious look in Leon’s eyes. He knew that Leon was supported by various forces and did not fear the Northern King. If he failed to satisfy Leon, Leon might actually break his legs.

“Leon, just calm down for a moment. Fine! I’ll apologize to you.” Jacob forced a smile, his attitude takin g a

sharp turn.

Jacob knew that he had to find a way to escape first, because he could always seek revenge afterward w

“Who are you trying to fool? You call that an apology? Get down on your knees to show that you actually

Jacob’s expression darkened. “You’re way out of line here!”

“So what if I am? Consider it a mercy that I didn’t break your legs directly!” Leon said.

Mercy toward one’s energy was nothing but cruelty to oneself. After all the conflict between him and Jac

him suffer.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 799

If that was the case, Leon saw no point in showing mercy to Jacob.

At the moment, he did not have an army that could fight the Northern King so he would not act too rashly, as he could not afford to enrage Harold. If Jacob kneeled and apologized, Leo n decided that he could forgive him; however, if Jacob refused to do so, he would proceed to break his l egs to teach him a lesson.

“Very well! Leon Wolf, do you really think that you can boss me around? Dream on!” Jacob laughed an d shot Ralph and Rocco a pointed look.

Ralph and Rocco immediately got the signal and immediately charged toward Leon.

“You’ve already lost to me once. Know your places!” Leon sneered and extended both his arms once a gain to counter Ralph and Rocco’s attack.

Ralph and Rocco knew that they were not as powerful as Leon, so instead of facing Leon off, they dod ged Leon’s attack while applying the guerrilla tactic so that Leon would be caught up for a short period of time.

Meanwhile, Jacob leaped into action and darted toward Ariel.

“Leon, you asked for this!” Jacob roared viciously.

He knew that Ariel was a friend to Leon and if he could capture Ariel, he could use her to threaten Leon into doing whatever he wanted and Leon would lose all leverage to bargain.

“Ah!!!” Ariel screamed and paled as she froze in place.

“Damn it!” Leon’s expression darkened. He did not expect Jacob to target someone innocent and was completely enraged.

Leon launched the Double Attack at Ralph and Rocco, before retrieving a few small knives from his poc kets. and throwing them behind him.

Three knives pierced through the air at the speed of lightning toward Jacob.

Jacob, who did not expect Leon to possess another type of weapon, did not have time to react. Howev er, as one of the most brilliant individuals of his generation who reached the Realm of a Supreme Mast er after taking the Pure Energy Pill, he managed to move away, barely escaping two of the knives, but was hit by the third one.

The third knife stabbed into Jacob’s wrist, effectively stopping him from reaching for Ariel.

At the same time, Leon darted toward Jacob and kicked Jacob in the chest.

Jacob, who was hardly comparable to Leon in terms of strength, instantly fell flat on his back.

Leon stomped on his chest and following the crisp sound of bones cracking, Jacob spat blood, knowing

“How dare you?!“

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 800

Ralph and Rocco gasped and roared.

Seeing how Jacob was at Leon’s mercy, both of them charged toward Leon with all their might in an att empt

to lure Leon away.

“Good” Leon sneered.

Since Ralph and Rocco were moving around rapidly earlier, he could not defeat them for the time being , so it was ideal that the two were heading toward him in order to save Jacob.

Leon turned swiftly and launched the Double Attack at Ralph and Rocco.

“Baam!”

Ralph and Rocco could no longer fend off Leon’s power and backed away in hope to protect themselve s from the force that oozed from Leon’s body. However, the power of the Double Attack radiated toward them wave after wave and though they managed to fend off the first wave, they were both sent flying in face of the second wave and collapsed onto the ground, completely unable to move.

“Ariel, are you okay?” Leon turned to Ariel in concern.

“I’m fine,” Ariel tapped herself on the chest in relief and was instantly over the moon when she saw the

concern in Leon’s eyes.

Ever since she knew Leon, they went through a lot together and Leon would always come to her rescu e to protect her from harm every single time. She would always feel safe whenever she was with him and she felt intoxicated by that feeling. For a m oment, she desperately wished she could stay with Leon forever, but there

was no hope that it would ever happen.

“Jacob Lowe, you despicable scum! How dare you attack an innocent civilian?! If you want to die, I will make it happen!” Leon stared down at Jacob and raised his l eg to aim at Jacob’s knees, intending to destroy Jacob’s legs completely.

“Stop!” Terrified, Jacob panicked and pleaded, “Leon, I was wrong. I can kneel and apologize. Please h ave mercy and spare me!”

“It’s too late!” Leon narrowed his eyes and stilled for a brief moment, before moving to step on Jacob’s l egs.

again.

“Leon, stop! I’m fine, so just let it go.” Ariel grabbed Leon by the arm and shook her head.

She knew that Leon wanted to seek justice on her behalf, but the Lowes were a force to be reckoned with. If Leon truly destroyed Jacob’s legs, he w

Seeing how Leon was hesitating, Jacob took the opportunity to plead, “Leon, I now know how wrong I’ve

Leon scoffed. “Consider yourself lucky. Go on, then!“
