StarNovelThe Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 72
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. | 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.”
“I guess | can sell you one piece if you want them, but | would like to keep the other piece to myself,” 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, | was drawn to
these imperial greens because | 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. | 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 | digress...” Benedict smiled awkwardly, sorted out his thoughts, and said earnestly, “My friend, | do insist
on these two imperial greens. Perhaps you'll be willing to part with them if | top up another five million?”

“No, you don’t raise the price! Ill 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 stgrateful 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, | find it
prudent to return your kindness! | have a suggestion for you. Since you wanted a piece for yourself, I'm guessing
that you were planning to craft it into ssort 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.
