The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 180
“Ah! Is this the so–called alchemy that used to exist in ancient times? I had quite the eye–opening
experience today!” Benedict laughed and looked at Leon with admiration. Harvey and Cynthia reacted
the same way too. Today was the first time in history that they have seen the mysterious alchemy
technique, so it was easy to imagine the kind of shock they felt in their hearts!
“You flatter me too much. It’s not that big of a feat to deserve such recognition…” Leon’s face turned red,
and he was a little ashamed of being praised.
As everyone guessed, what he did earlier was not merely boiling medicine, but alchemy. Compared with
boiling medicine the ordinary way, alchemy was several times better than that, for the herbs‘ medicinal
properties could be better extracted. However, it was actually Leon’s first time with alchemy. His
inexperience, coupled with his unsteady heat control, eventually led to the exploding pot accident.
Fortunately, those herbs have already formed into alchemical pills, and all those precious materials were
not at all wasted. If that happened, he would be very much ashamed of himself!

will recover quickly, and I am confident that there won’t be any lingering issues after that!” Leon took a
white jade porcelain bottle from Harvey, put all the medicinal pills in the porcelain bottle, and handed it to
Phoebe.
“Thank you very much,” Phoebe smiled gratefully and continued to thank Leon.
“We’re really thankful for your help, Mister Wolf. I really don’t know how else to repay your kindness…”
Benedict pondered for a while, then took out the check and filled in some numbers. He then handed it to
Leon and said, “This is a check for fifteen million. It’s the least I can do, so please accept it!”
“You don’t need to be so polite, Benedict. I appreciate your kindness, and I can’t ask for the money. You
should take it back.” Leon shook his head and pushed the check back.
Fifteen million was a very big sum, and neither Benedict nor Harvey thought that Leon would refuse.
They were therefore somewhat surprised by what happened.
“That won’t do! You’ve shown us a mountain of kindness, and this money ought to be given to you as our
consultation fee. I must insist that you accept it!” Benedict said firmly.
“Please listen to me, Elder Shear. I really can’t accept this money! I’m not a

professional doctor, and I’ve never accepted any fees for treating people. This is my stand right from the
very beginning, and I don’t want it to ever change.” Leon was unmoved, and his attitude was very firm.
“But we-”
“No buts, Elder Shear.”
Benedict was not willing to just let the mátter end there and was about to say something when Leon
interrupted him before he could say anything.
“I’ve treated other a few people before this, but I’ve never been charged them for any consultation fees. If
you really want to thank me, you can treat me to a meal, or help me if I encounter any difficulties in the
future. That’s enough for me,” Leon said with
a smile.

“I see. Alright then…” Seeing Leon’s determination to refuse the payment, Benedict sighed helplessly
and took the check back. However, he secretly admired Leon’s integrity and backbone, while at the same
time appreciating Leon’s character even
more!
He was not the only one who looked at Leon with admiration -Harvey and Cynthia also stared at Leon in
awe, almost as if they could not bring themselves to believe what was going on!
Cynthia, in particular, always thought that Leon wanted to curry favor with their Shears, but he did not
expect anything in return even though Leon gave his all to cure her grandmother’s illness. More
importantly, he did not avail himself of that opportunity to try and establish some sort of connection with
the Shears.
He really was a man of honor!
Cynthia never met such a principled and resolute man before, and in that split second, her view of Leon
changed completely. He was a very intriguing character, and she was beginning to view him in a different
light.
