Seeing John clenching his fists, Leon couldn't help asking, "Who is better, you or my sister? When hitting someone, of course."
"It's me." John lied without so much as a blush on his face.
Leon asked in doubt, "My sister can't beat you?"
"No." John shook his head. "And she won't hit me."
He decided to forget that Nina had beaten him when they had just known each other.
Leon still had a skeptical look on his face. He looked at John up and down with inquiring eyes and realized that he was obviously much stronger than the last time they saw each other. It wasn't inconceivable that Nina couldn't beat him with his current physique. But he didn't believe that she couldn't beat John half a year ago.
His bright eyes were like a radar, which made John uneasy for a moment. John composed himself and glared back at him with fire in his eyes.
"I heard that my wife hit you when she was drunk, but she never hit me. You saw it with your own eyes," said John.
A hint of surprise flashed through Leon's eyes, but then he calmed down. "So you know we did it on purpose."
John donned a slight smirk.
It was important to save face.
Leon sighed, "Well, I believe you. My sister probably can't defeat you. Sure enough, to deal with a violent girl like my sister, we have to combat violence with violence."
"Yes, violence seems to be the only way to deal with her." With a meaningful look in his eyes, John picked up the warm water and took a sip.
He did indeed want to use violence to fight back, but he used a different type of violence.
He would use violence with his little girl in bed.
It seemed that every time he did it, the little girl ended up begging him for mercy and apologizing.
Thinking of this, John felt a sense of arrogance rise in his body. "I have a high status in my family."
"Do you think I can't hear your flaunting tone?" Leon patted the table and chuckled. "Tell me, how high can your status actually be?"
"Just like my wife." John raised his eyebrows and spoke earnestly, making Wynn burst into laughter.
John cast a cold glance at him.
"Nothing. You guys carry on." Wynn raised his hand to his own face, covering his mouth.
However, he still couldn't help snickering which only annoyed John even more.
Wynn's heart skipped a beat. He turned his back to the two of them and continued to titter.
"Ignore him," Leon said. "I don't care whether you have the same status as my sister or not. I have to tell you the truth first, in case you cause some trouble after you arrive at C Island. It doesn't matter if you get me involved, but I'm afraid that you will get my sister into trouble."
After a pause, he added, "Of course you'd better not get me into trouble either."
"Okay." Although John was eating, he still listened intently to Leon.
Leon cleared his throat and said, "I'm sure you already know that Nina and Vicente are married now. They are a legal couple. Unfortunately, your marriage with her counts for nothing. You are not even her ex-husband."
John's eyes darkened.
Their marriage began in a dramatic way and was not quite how John wanted it. Even if they eventually fell in love, it felt like something was missing.
It was like a fresh start to John. He could make up for what he should have done the first time round and do everything right.
"I'm not interested in becoming her ex-husband." Then John puffed out his chest proudly. "I will make Vicente her ex-husband."
"So you don't mind that my sister has been married to another man?" Leon breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back against the chair. "I'm glad that you don't care. I was worried that if it bothered you, it would have caused a strain on your relationship with my sister."
"Oh, I do care about it," John said, pursing his lips and shrouding himself in his cold aura.
