The Ex Husbands Revenge

When a wife cheats on their husband and gets pregnant with another man's child, one would expect the husband to kick her out of the home and ask for a divorce. Oddly enough, it was the complete opposite for 26-year-old Leon Wolf. As if being treated like a slave by his in-laws was not bad enough, he was thrown out on the street by his wife and her family after she proudly declared to him that she got pregnant with someone else's baby! Distraught and resentful, Leon found himself wandering all the way to the cemetery, where he chanced upon the attempted assassination of a beautiful woman. In his bid to save her, Leon received a fatal stab wound on his chest and dragged the thug with him into a nearby river to drown together… All signs pointed to Leon's death, for he never surfaced again even though the distressed woman had waited for hours. Believing he had passed on to the afterlife, she left, but not before calling out to the river, "My name is Iris Young. Come and see me sometime…" A wisp of consciousness manifested underwater… 'Iris… What a beautiful name…'

THE EX HUSBAND REVNGE CHAPTER 73

Chapter 75 

"I'll do it myself!" Brody gritted his teeth and walked over just as Leon did earlier. 

The remaining volume of that raw jade stone was still enough for it to be cut a few more times, but due to his impatience, he immediately used the machine to cut the stone right down the middle. 

A glowing green light emerged at once! "There is it! There's the green!" 

"Goodness me! It's not an imperial green, is it?" 

"Didn't that young man say that there was nothing inside? Was he wrong?" 

It was a thoroughly jaw–dropping sight, for no one thought that there would be another imperial green! 

"Darling! You did it! It's an imperial green, and it's so much bigger too! We hit the jackpot!" 

Marilyn was so overjoyed that she rushed up, wrapped her arms around Brody'sneck, and kissed him several times. 

"Hahaha… Didn't you say there wouldn't be anything inside, Leon? Open your dumb eyes and have a load of this!" Brody burst into laughter. He had a smug lookand was as pretentious as pretentious could be! 

Leon was stunned. His main point was to get one over Brody, so he did not use any of his extraordinary senses because they were too energy–consuming. 

However, it scarcely occurred to him that Brody would be so lucky as to get an imperial green! 

Given their rarity and preciousness, it was truly remarkable that two pieces appeared in a row. It was just too difficult to believe! "Imperial green, my foot!" 

"That's clearly what you call a dry green! Who said it was an imperial green?" 

Several stone speculators scoffed at the remark that it was an imperial green andstopped short of cackling out loud. 

Imperial greens were extremely rare, so it was normal for people to not know what they looked like until they saw the ones Leon obtained. 

However, dry greens were much more common, and any person who could not identify them should just give themselves a couple of slaps in the face! 

"That's right!" "The color is completely wrong because it's more of a mossy green. There's also

a lot of rough impurities in it and the transparency is particularly poor…" 

"This is, without a doubt, a dry green. And, I might add, it's a somewhat low–quality dry green. There's no way this could be an imperial green!" 

The seasoned speculators had some knowledge and experience. It took them only a few glances to determine that Brody got some dry greens! "This…" Brody and Marilyn were both dumbfounded. 

As laymen, they never once thought that the green jadeite was some kind of dry green instead of an imperial green! The smiles of excitement and joy turned stiff. 

"Does it matter if it's a dry green? It's similar enough to imperial green, so it has to be just as valuable!" Marilyn asserted with a straight face. 

"Valuable? Don't be stupid.""Dry greens are of low quality, and the better dragonscale jadeites might sell for about several thousand!

""The quality of this one is just horrendous, though. I don't even think it's dragonscale. No one's going to buy it even if you sell it for a few hundred!"Everyone sneered and looked at Marilyn like a fool.Marilyn made a big joke of herself and her face.turned red. Her only wish right then was to crawl into a hole and burrow in it."But that's… Impossible…"It was such a shocking blow to Brody that he stumbled and almost fell headfirst.Leon sold a piece of imperial green, and in the process, earned about nine million and even got to establish a connection with the Shears' patriarch.By contrast, he spent two million only to get a uselessdry greenand the mostChapter 15inferior one at that! To make things worse, he became a laughingstock! The emotional damage that Brody received then was truly unimaginable! 

"Congratulations, Mister Sullivan! You spent all that money only on a dry green! I

can never be as rich as you!" Leon remarked sarcastically and looked at Brody as if the latter was a fool. "Why you…" 

Brody was fuming, for he finally understood that he fell for Leon's trick. He stared at Leon with a fiery gaze and said, "It's all your fault, Wolf. How dare you raise your bid and dupe me…" 

"What of it? What's stopping me from duping you when you did the same to me?" 

Leon sneered after giving Brody a taste of his own medicine. What he did not expect, however, was that Brody's luck would be so terrible as to get only some worthless dry greens. In that respect, Brody had only himself to blame for being so unlucky! 

"I'm going to kill you for making me spend so much money!" Brody exploded withrage and rushed toward Leon like a madman. 

"Control yourself! This is not the place for you to run amok!" Kai warned sternly. 

As soon as he spoke, the scar–

faced man from earlier and several other guards reacted within the blink of an eye. They rushed forward and surrounded Brody in a half–circle. 

Things would almost certainly end badly for Brody if he so much as dared to take half a step forward! After seeing the fierce face of that scar–

faced man, Brody could not help himself from trembling and halting his footsteps. 

"How shameless can he be?" "He was the one who tricked the young man 

first, forcing him to pay almost twice the original price. And now he's getting pissed because that guy retaliated?" "Yeah! The cheek of him to get mad at another person's unreasonable behavior when he was the one who started it! What kindof hypocritical logic is that?" 

"Best not to play these kinds of games if you can't afford to pay for the 

consequences. It's embarrassing that he finds it okay to dupe someone but can'tstand it when he gets duped in return!" 

Everyone sneered while glancing contemptuously at Brody. 

"Aren't you going to save what little dignity you have left now that things have come to this point? I'd lower my head and get the hell out of here if I were you! Don't you feel embarrassed at all?" Leon sneered and repeated what Brody said to him earlier almost word–for–word! "How dare you..." 

Brody's face turned red. A burst of blood surged up in his chest and he spat out a mouthful of blood. 

"You've got some balls, Leon! This isn't over. I'll get back at you someday! Just wait!" Brody gritted his teeth and threatened Leon before leaving embarrassedly with Marilyn. 

Leon snorted fiercely as he watched Brody and Marilyn flee the scene. 

Even though Iris taught Brody a lesson on his behalf at the Civil Records Office, it was not a show of his ability because he depended on a woman's help. 

However, things were different at Prospera Jade–he relied on his ability to exact his revenge, and it was no surprise that he was inan unprecedentedly buoyant mood! 

Leon then returned his bid card and took back his 70,000–dollar deposit. 

At the moment, there was still one piece of fine raw jade stone left, along with tens of thousands of ordinary, poor–colored raw jade stones piled on the ground. 

There might well be some white jadeite or clear jadeite hidden somewhere in those piles, but he would have collapsed from exhaustion if he were to sense them all one by one!He could still engage in some small bids with the use of his spiritual

energy, but it was not at all realistic to rely on the stone speculating to make a fortune!Besides, he was not that greedy of a person either.After leaving the area, L

eon quickly came to the area on the left where the finished jade products were sold.There 

were some made of imperial greens, but the vast majority were made of clears.Leon carefully selected those that he needed and ended up spending about two million to get a clear jadeite tablet.The tablet was a high–quality product made of intricately–patterned clear jadeite. The spiritual energy contained within it was strong and pure, quite like the imperial green.

he obtained earlier. It was more than sufficient to set up his Energy Convergence Circle.In addition to the jade tablet to be used as the center of the circle, another 18 ordinary jades were needed to arrange the Energy Convergence Circle
