The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 587
The Ex-Husband's Revenge
However, whatâs most important was that Ruth was a girl; if she was a boy and could thus inherit the fa mily name, he would not even care about Leonâs alchemy skills at all!
Alchemy was just a useful complement, but could not overcome the importance of nurturing good marti al arts!
âCome back, Ruth,â said George, gesturing for Ruth to return to their side.
âWait a minute, Grandpa. I still have something to do,â she replied calmly.
âWhat is it?â George froze at this.
The audience was just as stunned, and all turned to stare at Ruth with looks of puzzlement.
âI want to take on Leon Wolf!â Ruth pointed in Leonâs direction, scowling.
âWhat? Take on me?â Leon was utterly shocked by this. He thought this battle was already over, but he
never thought that Ruth would want to challenge him.
âThatâs right! Leon Wolf, you rejected the Collins and humiliated us in front of so many people, so now, I will challenge you to a duel in honor of my familyâs name!â She said curtly.
The Collins gave Leon her hand in marriage in exchange for his collaboration, yet he turned her down without hesitation
as though she was not good enough for him.
because of this, Ruth secretly seethed with rage and wanted to punish Leon for her ignorance. She wo uld. humiliate him in front of the public the same way he did for her!
George did not know how to react to this. He, too, was outraged by Leonâs rejection, but he refrained fr om trying to retaliate out of consideration that he was a sensible man and the fact that Leon had plenty

However, if Ruth wanted to defeat him, this would not be such a bad thing. This would even be the perf ect opportunity to teach Leon and Cynthion Group a lesson!
Besides, since Ruth and Leon were of the same generation, the elders could not possibly intervene.
âHow funny! Miss Collins, itâs up to me to decide whom I want to collaborate with, and I didnât do so just to humiliate your family in public. Did you expect me to take it, even when it wasnât what I desired in th e first place?â Leon said in disapproval.
âShut up! If you have the balls, youâd come to fight me. If you win, I can pretend as though none of that
happened, but if I win, you have to apologize to me and my family in public!â Ruth declared.
âI donât accept!â Leon scoffed.
âYou-â Ruth was utterly stunned by this. She never thought that Leon would turn her down without even momentâs hesitation.
âLeon Wolf, youâre the president of Cynthion Group, of all things! How can you turn down a womanâs cha âI donât care. I donât intend to entertain your outrageous requests!â Leon waved his hand dismissively.
A sensible man would not choose to pick a fight with a woman. Not only that, but Ruth was far younger t Why would he waste his time and energy fighting Ruth when he would not get anything out of it?
Murmurs and whispers spread through the crowd at this.
âThat Leon Wolf sure can hold down a challenge. I canât believe even when his dignity is being question
