The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 72
“I…”
Leon was incredibly hesitant. He had neither heard of the Shears before nor had any knowledge of who
the four major families were, but he could tell from everyone’s reaction that the individual in front of him
was not just your average old man.
His ten million bid was no doubt a very high price that far exceeded his expectations. One could not fault
Leon for being swayed somewhat.
However, he planned to use that jade to create an Energy Convergence Circle, and if he sold those two
imperial greens to Benedict, it would be very difficult for him to find one that was more suitable.
“I’m sorry, sir. They’re not for sale. I need them.”
Leon smiled apologetically.
Benedict seemed disappointed and pressed further, “Are you sure you can’t sell them? We can always
negotiate the price.”

Leon hesitated.
He needed only one piece to use as the focal point of the circle, so it was fine to sell the other piece to
the old man.
“These two pieces aren’t that big, so I’m afraid one piece might not be enough. To be honest, I was
drawn to these imperial greens because I wanted to carve a pair of bracelets for my wife. It wasn’t easy
for our marriage to get to this point today. Our golden wedding anniversary is in another few days. It’ll be
a celebration to commemorate our fiftieth year as husband and wife. I wanted to give her a pair of the
best jadeite bracelets as a gift, and as a token of gratitude for her
companionship…” Benedict said that with an impassioned look, and it was obvious that he loved his wife
deeply.
“Your marriage is one to be admired, sir.” Leon was touched. He believed that the most romantic
occasion in one’s life was to find a partner who could love him as much as he loved her, then have kids
with them and grow old together!
Benedict’s story touched his heart greatly.
Being an orphan frorn a young age meant that Leon had little to no chance of experiencing familial love.
Once upon a time, his greatest wish was to protect his wife, love her, and spend the rest of his life
together with her. Alas, the great almighty played him like a fiddle, for he never received any reward for
his hard work and was even kicked out of the house after his wife cheated on him!
If he did not run into Iris and inherited his ancestor’s memories by chance, he would have continued to
live on the streets.
“But I digress…” Benedict smiled awkwardly, sorted out his thoughts, and said earnestly, “My friend, I do
insist on these two imperial greens. Perhaps you’ll be willing to part with them if I top up another five
million?”
“No, you don’t raise the price! I’ll sell it to you since you like it so much,” Leon said, albeit somewhat
reluctantly.
He did not need imperial greens to set up his Energy Convergence Circle and could always replace it
with clear jadeite. The effect might be a little more inferior than that of imperial greens, but he believed

that it would not be affected that much.
Upon considering Benedict’s sincerity, he finally handed over the two pieces.
“Wonderful. Thank you very much…” Benedict was overjoyed, but at the same time grateful and
appreciative of Leon’s actions. After all, Leon reluctantly parted with the imperial greens without
capitalizing on the opportunity to raise the price exorbitantly.
It was rare for most people to have that kind of mentality, and he had plenty of admiration for Leon’s
character.
“My friend, since you were kind enough not to take advantage of the situation by increasing the price, I
find it prudent to return your kindness! I have a suggestion for you. Since you wanted a piece for
yourself, I’m guessing that you were planning to craft it into some sort of ornament or jewelry. Since
these two pieces are more than enough for a pair of bracelets, I’d think that the remaining material will
still be sufficient to be made into several small trinkets. If there’s anything you wish to craft, please do
feel free to tell me. I’ll gift one to you as a show of gratitude,” Benedict offered with a smile.
