Chapter 1816
The Ex-Husband's Revenge
âMiss Thompson, out of respect for you and the Thompsons, this ends now! â Joel took a deep breath to suppress his anger.
Since Roanne was determined to protect Leon and John was there to step in at any moment, he knew that he had no choice but to give up.
Naturally, Joel did not know that Leon was far more powerful than he anticipated and without Roanneâs interference, he would have suffered worse injuries.
âYou got lucky this time, kid. Consider yourself spared this time! Youâll pay for this in the future!â Joel glared at Leon and turned to Seth. âLetâs go!â
The group was about to leave when Leon stepped forward with a smirk.â Hang on!â
âWhat else do you want, Leon?â Joel stopped and glared at him coldly.
âWhat do you think? Mister Hiltons, you commanded Seth to barge in here and injured our security guards! As soon as you find out that we have the upper hand, you want to leave. Things donât always go your way!â Leon mocked.
âWhat?â
Joel and Seth gaped in disbelief.
Joel only decided to let Leon go out of respect for Roanne and the Thompsons; not only did Leon not appreciate it, but he also refused to let Joel and Seth go and Joel could not understand what gave Leon the confidence to do so.
âWhat do you want, then?â He gritted out.
âI-â Leon opened his mouth to speak but was instantly interrupted by John.
âMister Wolf, you didnât take much damage or lose anything! Why donât you just let this slide?â John said.
The Hiltons were one of the most powerful families and even if Leon was a capable man, he could not afford to cross the Hiltons.
Since Joel decided to leave, John wanted Leon to let go, or he would suffer the consequences of crossing the Hiltons.
âYeah! Leon, let it go!â Roanne said as she did not want the situation to escalate further.
âNo way! Iâm not letting this slide! Iâm going to seek justice for Mason and the other two!â Leon said with determination.
Though the Hiltons were formidable, Mason and the other two martial artists were Leonâs subordinates and he refused to stand idly by when his subordinates were injured for no reason.
âWhat?â Mason and the other two young martial artists were shocked, as they could tell that Joel came from a powerful family, while they were simply thugs who came from a small city like Springfield City.
Still, Leon was willing to risk crossing Joel for their sake.
The three were instantly touched and felt glad that they chose to follow Leon.
