Ch. 831..840
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 831
Cynthia hurriedly gave Leon some advice.
She knew that Leon’s true strength only made him an intermediate Supreme Master. There was no way he would be able to rival Marco, who was a peak Supreme Master!
If Leon insisted on forcing things for Iris’s sake, Marco would be able to eliminate Leon easily!
“Leon, thank you for wanting to help me. This matter doesn’t concern you, you should leave,” Iris said with a conflicted expression on her face.
She already broke up with Leon, and did not want to drag Leon into it. She was already happy enough that she managed to see Leon this time.
Gilbert was very anxious and did not say anything.
Leon was the only person who could possibly save Gilbert and Iris at that moment, so he did not want Leon
to leave.
However, Leon was much weaker than Marco. If Leon actually stayed behind, Leon would essentially be committing suicide!
“It’s already too late for you to leave! Marco, cripple him!” Harold ordered coldly. There was a murderous glint in his eyes.
Leon had the Shears, the Southern King and other forces behind him. Harold could not truly kill Leon, but as long as he could take away Leon’s strength and make Leon a complete cripple, there was no way Leon would be able to go against his family!
Under Harold’s order, Marco threw a ferocious punch at Leon.
“Leon, you’re done for this time!”
Harold was incredibly excited.
After fighting Leon the last time, he knew that Leon was possibly already a peak Supreme Master.
However, Marco was one of the top three experts the Lowes had. He was already at the peak Supreme Master for a long time. He was even already close to becoming a Semi Overlord.
Leon just broke through and became a peak Supreme Master not too long ago at most, so there was a gap between Leon and Marco. Harold did not think Leon would be able to face Marco!
It was not realistic at all!
“Leon’s done for this time.”
“He’s so young, but he’s trying to face the Northern King head on. He’s just looking to die!”
“That’s right. If he wasn’t stubborn and left earlier to get Elder Shear, they might have been able to stop the Northern King.”
“It’s just a pity. He’ll be paying a massive price for his youthful arrogance!”
Melvin and the other Youngs were lamenting the fact as they looked at Leon with pity.
They knew that Leon was only an advanced Supreme Master at most. If there were no surprises, Leon would not even be able to take a single blow from Marco!
“Leon, be careful.” Iris and Cynthia paled as they shouted out in surprise at the same time. Their expressions were full of worry.
Gilbert was the same. His heart sank completely.
He did not think that Leon would be able to beat Marco unless a miracle happened!
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!” Leon smiled calmly, not retreating at all as he quickly charged forward to meet Marco’s attack.
“Just die!” There was a sharp glint in Marco’s eyes.
Leon was just an advanced Supreme Master, but Leon actually dared to face him head on. Leon was just too stupid!
Suddenly, he strengthened his punch and unleashed his full force, preparing to cripple Leon in one blow!
“You idiot!”
Harold and the others let out a smile of disdain as they looked at Leon like he was an idiot.
If Leon tried to use skills instead of just pure strength, he might have been able to last a few exchanges with
Marco.
Unfortunately, Leon was too arrogant in his youth, and actually wanted to face Marco head on. Leon would only lose badly in that case!
The fact that Marco was already close to the Semi Overlord State meant that Leon would at least be crippled, if not die, from this attack!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 832
Of course, Leon was not as reckless as everyone thought.
He dared to take Marco’s punch head on purely because he secretly took a Dragon Pill while everyone else was distracted.
With the help of the Dragon Pill, his strength temporarily rose to the level of a peak Supreme Master. He was equal to Marco in power, so he was not afraid!
Bang!
Just as Harold and the others were looking down on him, Leon’s fist clashed against Marco’s.
Right after that, something that shocked everyone happened. Leon used his spiritual energy to withstand
Marco’s attack.
Right after that, he took advantage of the fact that Marco used all his strength on that attack to launch his Double Attack. A punch with the power of a peak Acquired State martial artist slammed into Marco’s chest.
Marco never expected that Leon would be able to launch a second attack, and was not able to set up a defense.
Marco suddenly felt blood in his throat as he spat out a mouthful of blood, flying back and crashing on the ground. He clearly sustained heavy internal injuries.
“How’s that possible?!”
Seeing what happened, Harold and Jacob were both stunned.
The Youngs were stunned as well.
Everyone in attendance was stunned!
No one would have dreamed that Leon would not be the one to fall in one blow, but Marco, who was already close to reaching the Semi Overlord State!
They could not understand how Leon managed to do it. It was unbelievable!
“Leon, c–could you already be at the Semi Overlord State?!” Jacob shouted as he looked at Leon in disbelief.
The fact that Marco was defeated in one blow by Leon despite already being so close to the Semi Overlord State could only mean that Leon’s skills were very possibly already at the Semi Overlord State!
In Springfield City, the Semi Overlord State was already the level of someone at the top. Even a lot of the older generation in many major families struggled to get to that level after training their whole lives.
Leon was so young, but he actually managed to reach the Semi Overlord State!
“How strong!”
The Youngs and Harold were all shocked.
They could tell that Leon was still not at the Semi Overlord State just yet, but he was already very close.
Leon had clearly only been an advanced Supreme Master during the sales drive at Cynthion Group, that was something everyone knew.
Yet, in just a short half a month, Leon already reached something that was close to the Semi Overlord State!
It was obvious how shocked they were!
Harold’s face was incredibly sour!
Leon was an enemy of their family. The stronger Leon was, the more afraid he was. If Leon had some more time, Leon would probably become an Overlord State expert in not too long!
Then, it would be much harder for him to deal with Leon!
With that in mind, a murderous fire flashed in his mind. He made the decision that he would have to get rid of Leon that day no matter what. Otherwise, their future was in jeopardy!
“That’s amazing!”
“Leon, you’re too amazing!”
When Iris and Cynthia stepped out of their shock, they could not help but let out excited smiles.
Gilbert was the same. Leon was his only possible savior at that moment. Seeing Leon defeat Marco, breathed a sigh of relief.
he
However, when he thought about how he forcibly broke Leon and Iris apart in the past, he felt some sense of awkwardness.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 833
With Leon’s terrifying talent and potential, if Leon became his son–in–law, then there was no way would have dared to deny him the seat of the head of the family!
Yet, he chased such an excellent son–in–law away!
the family
Suddenly, he was filled with regret, but it was already too late!
“He’s just a peak Supreme Master! Leon, even if you really were already at the Semi Overlord State, you’ll still die today!” Harold had a cold look on his face.
He was already intent on killing Leon. Before Leon could react, he suddenly raised a fish, charging forward imperiously as he rapidly approached Leon.
“Despicable!” Leon was shocked.
He never expected that Harold would dare to launch a sneak attack on someone from a younger generation when Harold was someone so important.
However, Leon did not waste a single second. He quickly retreated and tried to avoid Harold’s attack.
However, Harold was several times stronger than he was. No matter how he tried, he could not avoid Harold’s attack at all!
“O–Overlord State!”
Leon was shocked when he sensed the tremendous power coming from Harold.
He thought that Harold was only at the Semi Overlord State. If that was the case, he might have been able to last a few exchanges against Harold.
Yet, Harold improved at some point, reaching the Overlord State. Leon could not put up a fight at all!
“Harold, you’re the Northern King, but you’re attacking someone from the younger generation with a sneak attack. Are you really that shameless?” Cynthia shouted, incredibly angry.
“So what? He was the one who decided to make an enemy of our family!” Harold sneered as he got closer to
Leon.
Since he decided to eliminate Leon, he no longer cared about the damage it would bring to his reputation!
“Mister Wolf, we’ll help you!”
Since Leon was in a dangerous spot, the Sharp brothers quickly reacted. They charged right at Harold together, trying to make Harold abandon the attack!
“Die!”
Harold laughed coldly as he sent out two waves of energy at the brothers.
Bang!
Upon impact, Harold’s energy attack broke through the Sharp brothers‘ defenses, slamming onto their chests.
The two of them spat out mouthfuls of blood as they flew back, slamming onto the ground.
They clearly sustained heavy injuries, and lost their ability to fight.
However, thanks to their help, a lot of pressure was alleviated from Leon. They won a lot of valuable time for Leon, and a chance and survival!
“Take this!”
Taking the chance, Leon used Double Attack with all his might, charging right at Harold.
Since Harold was distracted by the brothers, Harold only had a fraction of his power lef.t
Even so, the fraction was still charging right at Leon, and the power was absolutely devastating!
Leon was already prepared. He rolled on the ground, but failed to completely avoid Harold’s attack. In the end, his arm was struck by the remainder of Harold’s energy.
Crack!
The clear sound of bone snapping could be heard. Leon grunted, and a wave of pain came from his arm. His arm was broken by Harold’s attack!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 835
However, he fortunately set up contingencies. It was just that he did not know if those plans would materialize in time!
“You’ll make sure I can’t get out of this alive? You sure have some guts! Leon, just keep bragging. Do you think I’m scared of what you’re saying?!”
Harold started to laugh out loud, as if he heard the funniest thing in the world.
The others that were watching, including the Youngs, could not help but scoff as well.
Leon was already at a complete disadvantage. His life was practically in Harold’s hands. They did not understand where Leon got his bravery and confidence from!
“I’m not bragging. You’ll find out soon!” Leon said calmly.
“You sure love to talk when you’re staring death in the face! Alright, I’ll take away your martial arts first. After that, I’ll cripple you and see what you can do to me!” Harold sneered.
Right after that, he no longer wasted any time as he raised his hand and slammed his palm toward Leon’s Energy Sea Point.
“Stop!”
Right at that moment, a cold shout was heard as a few figures walked in.
The one at the helm was Quinton Hunt from Seacove City.
There were a few middle–aged men and old men behind Quinton. All of them walked over quickly with fierce auras. It was obvious they were no pushovers!
“They’re here.”
Leon could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The last time, he already investigated on Quinton’s behalf, finding out that Harold was the masked man who robbed Quinton!
Quinton was ambushed by Harold, there was no way Quinton could just take it!
This time, Leon specifically invited Quinton over to help him against Harold while he ruined Iris and Jacob’s wedding. It was the perfect chance for Quinton to get revenge against Harold!
“Leon! You actually had a backup plan!”
Harold’s expression changed. He realized that Leon’s reinforcements were already there, and he quickly strengthened his attack, wanting to cripple Leon before Quinton and his men could do anything!
Leon was already prepared for that. Leon constantly retreated.
However, he was just too much weaker than Harold. No matter how he avoided it, he could not escape. Harold’s attack!
“Die!”
An old man next to Quinton rushed out with a punch of terrifying proportions, aiming right for Harold’s back to force Harold to abandon his attack.
“Initial Overlord State!”
Harold was shocked when he felt that old man’s aura.
The old man was at the same level as he was. If he continued to attack Leon, he would probably be able to cripple Leon, but the old man would heavily injure him as well!
His life was worth much more than that useless orphan!
With that in mind, Harold was forced to abandon his attack. After that, he turned around and faced the old man’s attack.
Bang!
There was an intense clash as their attacks met.
The old man’s body did not move at all. Instead, Harold took a step back.
It was obvious that the two of them might be at the same level, but Harold just broke through not too long ago. So, the old man was still slightly stronger!
“Despicable!
Since Leon had the old man’s help, Harold realized that he lost an amazing chance to cripple Leon. He was very unhappy about it, but there was nothing he could do.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 836
Taking the chance, Quinton led the other experts from the Hunts to Leon’s side.
“Mister Wolf, are you alright? I was late, I hope you can forgive me.”
Quinton let out an apologetic smile as he greeted Leon.
“I’m fine, you came at just the right time!” Leon said with a smile.
“That’s great.”
Quinton breathed a sigh of relief. He saw that Leon did not seem to be in any danger other than his injured
arm, so he was less worried at that moment.
“Mister Hunt, what’s the meaning of this? I have no grudges against the Hunts. Why are the Hunts suddenly attacking me?!” Harold said with a dark look on his face.
“No grudges? Harold Lowe, how dare you even say that?! You put on a mask and ambushed me, stealing three Pure Energy Pills from the Hunts! How can you even say that?!” Quinton said viciously.
He was incredibly furious the moment the matter was mentioned.
“That’s complete nonsense! When did I ever steal anything from you? Do you have proof?!” Harold complained unhappily.
He was no idiot. There was no way he would admit to that!
“The truth is right in front of us. Whether it’s your body size or even in any other facet, you’re exactly like that masked man! Even if you were burnt to ashes, I’d still be able to recognize you. Do I even need proof?!” Quinton said coldly.
Even though Harold put on a mask to hide his identity and even lowered his voice, Harold had no way of changing the size of his body and his other quirks!
Even if there was no concrete proof, it was easy for Quinton to tell that Harold was the masked man!
“What a joke! There are so many people with the same body size as me in this world, so what can that even prove? In the end, if you don’t have any proof, stop trying to pin the blame on me!”
Harold sniffed, refusing to admit anything!
“Harold Lowe, stop with your nonsense! I don’t care if you admit it or not. If you don’t give the Hunts a satisfactory explanation today, then we’ll absolutely not let you go!” Quinton said coldly.
“Quinton, are you trying to pressure me? You’re just a force from outside Springfield City. You don’t have any right to do that!” Harold’s expression darkened as a strong wave of energy came out of his body, pushing down toward Quinton.
“How dare you?!” The old man scoffed.
He walked forward and stood in front of Quinton. A wave of power that was equally as strong forced Harold’s pressure back!
“Overlord state!”
Quinton frowned when he felt the strong aura coming from Harold.
What he was told by Leon was that Harold was just a Semi Overlord!
For the sake of his revenge, he got an Overlord State martial artist from his family to defeat Harold!
Yet, he never expected that there would be a problem with Leon’s information. Harold was already at the Overlord State. It was out of his expectations!
“Mister Leon, what is this? Wasn’t Harold just supposed to be at the Semi Overlord State? Why did he suddenly jump to the Overlord State?” Quinton looked at Leon with an uncertain expression.
“I don’t know what happened either. He must’ve just broken through a few days ago,” Leon said thoughtfully.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 834
“Brat, it’s time for you to die right now!” Harold let out a fierce smile.
He took advantage of his earlier success and quickly appeared in front of Leon, sending his hand at Leon’s
head.
If that strike landed, Leon would definitely die!
“Harold, stop right there! If you dare to kill Leon, then even if the Shears have to give up everything, we’ll never forgive you!” Cynthia shouted out with fire in her eyes.
Iris was no better. When she saw that Leon was about to die for Harold, she was pale as a sheet of paper. Her body started to sway, and she almost fainted on the spot.
“Cynthia, do you think a child like you can even begin to threaten me?!” Harold scoffed.
Even though he said that, he still paused slightly. After that, he changed his approach, aiming right for Leon’s Energy Sea in an attempt to cripple Leon’s martial arts!
Of course, he did that because he really was a bit scared of the Shears.
After all, the Shears were still one of the four great families of Springfield City. They were not to be trifled with. Leon was possibly Cynthia’s boyfriend, and could marry into the family in the future!
If he really killed Leon and provoked revenge from the Shears, it would do him no good!
He just settled the Youngs, and still did not completely control them yet. So, he could still not afford to confront the Shears head on!
In the end, he changed his mind, planning on crippling Leon completely. As long as Leon was still alive, the Shears would probably not fight the Lowes until the end!
“Despicable! Just you wait, Harold, the Shears will forever see you as enemies!”
Cynthia could tell that Harold was planning on crippling Leon. She was so anxious her eyes reddened. Yet, there was nothing she could do. Her strength was miniscule compared to Harold’s.
Other than looking at things happening, there was nothing else she could do!
“Leon’s done for now!”
“It’s a pity. It’s so hard for Springfield City to produce a genius like that, but he’s going to fall so soon.”
“That’s right, the young usually have to pay for their arrogance, but this price is too painful!”
The Youngs were all shaking their heads and sighing. Some of them had looks of pity, while there were others who were very amused.
As for Gilbert, he already lost all hope.
He hoped that Leon would be able to protect Iris and himself, but Leon was already struggling to even take care of himself. That sliver of hope he had earlier was extinguished mercilessly!
“Leon, do you have any last words?”
Harold was very curious when he saw that Leon was still incredibly calm. His strike at Leon stopped because he could not understand why Leon was still so undisturbed.
“Harold, don’t be so pleased with yourself! I don’t mind telling you this. If you cripple me, then I’ll make sure you won’t get out of this alive today!” Leon said coldly.
He was not someone reckless. The fact that he appeared to ruin the wedding so boldly meant that he was already prepared.
It was just that there were two things that exceeded his expectations. The first was that Gilbert’s title as the head of the family was taken away. The second was that Harold became a true Overlord at some point!
Those two things caught him off guard and threw the plans he made into disarray!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 838
Comparatively, the Lowes were much weaker.
Other than Harold, the strongest among the Lowes were only at the level of a peak Supreme Master.
It was obvious which side was stronger!
In just a moment, both Harold and the Lowes were quickly looking like they were going to lose.
Seeing the tables turning so quickly, the Youngs could not help but feel a sense of awkwardness.
They thought that Leon would definitely pay a massive price for his youthful arrogance!
Yet, none of them expected that Leon actually had a backup plan. They underestimated Leon too much!
“I can’t believe Leon’s so young but makes such intricate plans. He even had a back up plan!”
“That’s right. With the help of the Hunts, the Northern King might be done for.”
The Youngs talked to each other, and could see that the Lowes were reaching their end!
Just thinking about what happened before, they finally understood why Leon was so arrogant when talking to Harold. So Leon really did have the ability!
He was not bragging!
“Good, this is great!”
Gilbert was much more spirited, and he was excited.
When he watched Leon almost dying to Harold, he already lost all hope. Yet, Leon actually managed to pull off a miracle to turn the tables even when everything seemed hopeless!
It was obvious how happy he was!
Iris and Cynthia were the same. They let out sighs of relief when they saw that Leon was fine.
“Despicable!” Harold’s expression darkened.
He was an Overlord State expert, but he was actually being pushed back by his opponents working together. It was obvious how furious he was.
However, he was not worried about his position.
Daisy and him already controlled the Youngs, With Daisy and the Youngs around, the Hunts would not be able to do anything to him!
Just like what he expected, Daisy could no longer hold back when she saw the state the Lowes were in.
“Uncle, elders, the Lowes are in a bad position. Please go help them!” Daisy said to Melvin and the others.
“Help the Lowes? I think that’s not very appropriate,” Melvin said with a frown.
The Hunts were one of the three great families of Seacove City. Their power was not to be underestimated. If the Youngs helped Harold, they would definitely offend the Hunts!
The marriage alliance between the two families was already ruined anyway. The Youngs had no reason to
help Harold. It did not benefit them at all!
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it! Uncle, the fact that the Young Group managed to survive this time was a large part thanks to the Lowes. The Lowes are our benefactors, and they are our business partners as well. Even though the marriage has failed, it still doesn’t affect our relationship. It would only be beneficial for us if we can form a long alliance with the Lowes!” Daisy said.
“But-”
Melvin was still hesitant.
There were no eternal friends when it came to the major families, only profits. Offending the Hunts for the sake of Harold was not a smart choice!
He did not understand why Daisy insisted on helping Harold, and felt like there was something wrong about it. Yet, he could not put his finger on it.
“Uncle, you should know very well. Ever since Elder Young fell ill and the other families started to push the Young Group down, our position as one of the four great families has weakened a lot.”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 837
The difference between being at the Semi Overlord State and the Overlord State was night and day. There was a huge gulf between the two of them that could not be overcome very easily!
A Pure Energy Pill could help anyone below the peak Supreme Master level increase the efficiency of their training. It did help Semi Overlord State experts, but the effectiveness was greatly decreased!
Leon thought about how Harold did his best to try and steal the three Pure Energy Pills from Quinton and could somewhat guess something.
It was possible that Harold’s breakthrough had something to do with those three Pure Energy Pills. Otherwise, there was no way Harold would have robbed Quinton at the risk of offending the Hunts!
“Whatever, luckily I made preparations this time. I got an Overlord State and two Semi Overlord State martial artists from my family! Even if Harold is already at the Overlord State, there’s no way he’ll be able to do anything!” Quinton let out a cold laugh, not paying Harold any mind at all.
“Third grandfather, I’ll leave Harold to you. He actually dared to steal from our family. You have to get justice for us!” Quinton told the old man.
The old man nodded. He walked forward and stared right at Harold.
“Harold, I’ll give you one last warning. As long as you return those pills to us and compensate us for all the trouble, the Hunts will think about letting you off! Otherwise, you’ll bear the consequences!” The old man said coldly.
“Quinton, I told you very clearly. This has nothing to do with me! Stop trying to throw your power around!” Quinton said impatiently.
“Alright, you asked for this! Since you want to die, I’ll grant you your wish! Take this!” The old man was furious. He did not want to waste time on Harold any longer. With a punch out, a wave of impressive force quickly raced toward Harold.
“You came at the perfect time! Do you really think we’re scared of you?!” Quinton scoffed. He was calm and unperturbed.
A punch was sent right at Quinton.
Bang!
After an intense clash, Harold and the old man found themselves evenly matched.
Right after that, the two of them started to attack again. They were evenly matched, and it quickly became a
battle of inches!
Even though the old man was slightly stronger than Harold, it was a very small difference. The old man could not do anything to Harold that quickly!
“Brother, we’ll help you!”
Two Semi Overlord State experts from the Hunts jumped out to attack Harold witht he old man.
The three of them were quickly at an advantage as they pushed Harold back.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Looking at Harold being pushed back by numbers, the experts from the Lowes were furious. They rushed forward to try and help Harold deal with the two Semi Overlord State martial artists!
“We’re your opponents!”
Hans, who was next to Quinton, smirked. He led the remaining martial artists from the Hunts to intercept the Lowes.
It quickly became a massive battle!
Even though the Hunts were not based in Springfield City, the Hunts were still one of the three great families of Seacove City. They were incredibly powerful, even more so than the four great families of Springfield City.
Other than the old man and the other two, the rest of the martial artists Quinton brought over were all at the advanced or peak Supreme Master level!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 839
“In my opinion, the Youngs will definitely need to establish a long alliance with the Lowes to solidify our position and influence. Otherwise, we might very well go downhill very soon!” Daisy said calmly.
“Yes, Daisy is right!”
“Establishing a long alliance with the Lowes would greatly benefit the family!”
A few of the elders nodded in agreement.
The other three of the four great families in Springfield City all had two Overlord State martial artists to solidify their power. The Youngs only had one Overlord State expert left at that moment. They were powerless to compete against the other three.
Only by working with Harold could the Youngs hold onto their power and influence.
“Alright then.”
Melvin realized something. He thought that Daisy was saying all that for the sake of the family, so he quickly accepted the matter.
After that, he walked forward with two of them elders.
“What’s the point of trying to win with numbers?! Northern King, I’ll help you!”
Melvin let out a shout as he charged forward with an incredibly powerful strike, helping Harold hold back the
two Semi Overlord State martial artists!
The other two elders joined the fray as well, helping the Lowes hold back Hans and the others.
With the help of the Youngs, the tables were immediately turned for the Lowes, and they quickly looked like they were winning.
Gilbert’s smile froze on his face at that moment.
“Uncle, what are you doing? Harold is trying to kill me and Iris. It’s one thing if you don’t want to help us, but why are you helping them against us?” Gilbert was in disbelief as he felt his heart freeze.
Leon ended up fighting against Harold for the sake of saving Iris and him. If Leon and the Hunts lost, then there would be nothing good waiting for him and Iris.
That was not the most important point. The most important point was that he hgave so much to the Youngs, even forcing Iris to sell Elegante to help them.
Yet, the Youngs abandoned him in the end, and were even helping Harold against Gilbert and Iris.
It was obvious how deeply hurt he was!
“Gilbert, we’re doing this for the sake of the family. Don’t blame us…” Melvin sighed and said.
“For the sake of the family? What a joke! Mister Young, is there just something wrong with the Youngs in general? Harold was the mastermind behind the venture capital company. He’s been doing everything he can to attack your family, but you’re actually helping him? Are all of you crazy?!”
Leon was furious as well. He wanted to crack open their heads to see what was inside.
“What did you say? Harold was the person behind the venture capital company?” Melvin and the other elders were shocked to hear that.
The Young Group constantly fell into danger mainly because of that unknown venture capital group!
Finding out that Harold was behind all of that, Melvin and the other elders were shocked. They stopped their attacks against the Hunts.
As Melvin and the others stopped, the Hunts and the Lowes stopped as well. Both sides stood on opposing ends.
“Leon, are you speaking the truth?” Melvin asked, shooting a cold look at Harold with murderous intent in his eyes.
It was not just him. The other elders, including Gilbert, were all looking at Harold viciously as well!
“It’s absolutely true!”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 840
Leon nodded.
“What nonsense! Leon, you and the Shears are clearly the ones behind that venture capital company. You’re just trying to push the blame on me and try to ruin my relationship with the Youngs. What are you plotting?! “Harold said with a dark look on his face.
He did not know how Leon found out that he was the one behind the venture capital company, but the matter was too big for him to admit to it!
“Harold, you know yourself whether I’m speaking the truth or not! You’re a man. You should be willing to admit to what you did!” Leon sneered.
“I’ve never done anything wrong, so what’s there to admit? Instead, you secretly bought over Elegante behind the scenes to try to sabotage the Youngs! You just love to act so sneakily and shamelessly!”
Harold remembered Leon buying over Elegante, and hurriedly used that to push the matter to Leon.
“What?”
“Leon, you’re the one who bought Elegante?! Is that true?”
Gilbert and Iris were shocked as they looked at Leon doubtfully.
“That’s right, I bought Elegante. I was worried that Harold would be trying to do something to the Youngs, so I wanted to make sure you had a path of retreat.”
Leon was not as shameless as Harold. Since Harold exposed the matter, he decided to admit it publicly.
“Leon, aren’t you just showing your hand right now? The ones behind the venture capital company could very well be the Shears. You worked with the Shears to pressure the Young Group first, then you secretly bought over Elegante Group to cut off any paths of retreat for the Youngs! You’ve really thought of everything for the sake of revenge!” Harold sneered, dealing a killing blow to Leon.
“So Leon was pulling the strings!”
The moment Harold said all of that, the Youngs exploded.
When Leon said that Harold was the culprit behind everything, Melvin and the others started to suspect Harold a little. Yet, at that moment, they started to trust in Harold more after Harold’s deflections.
After all, Harold insisted on establishing a marital alliance with the Youngs. Since Harold was prepared to do that, there was no way Harold would try to sabotage the Youngs. It seemed like Harold lacked any motive!
However, Leon was different. Leon had a deep grudge against the Youngs. For the sake of revenge, it was not impossible that Leon would work with the Shears against them!
Furthermore, when the Young Group was struggling, the Shears publicly participated in sabotaging them. Instead, it was Harold who did so much to help the Young Group get through their difficult times.
No matter how one looked at it, Leon absolutely had more of a motive than Harold. On top of that, Leon secretly bought over Elegante. It was difficult for the Youngs not to suspect Leon!
“Harold Lowe, you despicable person!”
Leon’s expression changed.
He secretly bought over Elegante because he wanted to help Iris in the dark. He never expected his act of kindness to be turned over by Harold like that!
Yet, he could not find a way to argue against that!
At that moment, he finally realized he was still too inexperienced against someone as cunning as Harold. It was still too early for him to truly fight Harold!
“Leon, I know the Youngs have wronged you, but we didn’t do it on purpose. Even if you want revenge, surely you don’t have to use such ruthless means.“
