His view on Ruth completely changed at that very moment."You're at a much higher level than I am and you have the nerves to question if I'm human? You're the monster who defeated a Semi-Overlord like Jackson Lowe! You're the one who's not human!" She poked her tongue out at him."I-" Leon was instantly rendered speechless.He only managed to defeat Jackson because of the Dragon Pill. In truth, he was only at the Intermediate Supreme State and Ruth, who just reached the Advanced Supreme State, already became stronger than he was.Leon soon realized that even when he recovered from his injuries, he would not be able to win against Ruth and he had no means to avenge what she did to him today."It's all over," His heart sank as he slumped into the depth of self-doubt and devastation.He wanted to teach Ruth a lesson for robbing him, yet his hope shattered completely."You're in possession of so many great things! What a shame!" She looked at the Pure Energy Pills regretfully.She
"Whatever! I don't have time to argue with an exhibitionist!" She threw the blanket away and moved Leon's body to begin searching underneath his body and around the bed. Still, she did not manage to find anything."That's enough, Ruth!" He roared, coming close to the edge of losing his temper.However, before he had the chance to do so, he was stunned by what Ruth said next."Leon, remove your pants!" She said hesitantly."What?!" Leon felt as though he was struck by lightning. "Have you gone mad? You're a woman and you are asking a man to remove his pants? Don't you have any shame?" He studied her in disbelief."I don't care. You've to be hiding it inside your pants. Remove them so I can check them," Feeling like her cheeks were burning, she avoided his eyes.She knew that it was a horrible thing to ask, but since she went through Leon's room and bed and did not manage to find the written record of the Mysterious Maiden Method, his trousers were the only place left for Leon to h
"Baam!"Their heads instantly collided and Leon saw stars at the impact.Before he could react, a warm sensation came from his cheek as Ruth pressed her lips against his cheek."What the-"Both Leon and Ruth froze in shock."Damn it! Leon, you bastard! That was my first kiss!" Ruth sobered. Furious, she bit down onto his shoulder.Leon gasped in pain and pinched at the Vital Gate on Ruth's wrist, causing her to fall back onto his chest helplessly.They glared at one another in silence and time seemed to have frozen over."Ahem!" Just then, they heard a sound.Gilbert, Iris and Louisa somehow walked inside.In their perspective, all they saw was Lean lying in bed half-naked while Ruth leaned against his chest.Iris's expression instantly darkened and a dark look appeared on Gilbert’s face as well, so Louisa immediately cleared her through to alert Leon.Leon looked up at the sound of Louisa clearing her throat and met Iris's cold eyes. "Louisa, Iris!"Feeling like he was st
"Iris has always been loyal to you, yet you have betrayed her like a beast!" Gilbert roared with a dark expression."Uncle Gilbert, it's not what you think," Leon hastily attempted to explain himself, but was interrupted by Gilbert right away."Forget it. We all saw what happened. There's no way you can talk your way out of this!" Gilbert shouted and turned to look at Iris with frustration. "Iris, I told you a long time ago that you shouldn't trust him, but you just won't listen. Well? Have you finally seen him for who he truly is?""Leon, you disappoint me!" Iris shot Leon a sorrowful look and headed outside."Iris, don't go. Let me explain," Concerned, Leon got up to run after Iris, but was too weak to get out of bed."You had this coming!" Gilbert snorted, before leaving."Leon, good luck!" Louisa sighed and shook her head, before following the two."You scum! This is the price for taking advantage of me just now!" Ruth glared at Leon and left.She never intended to cause co
Like Louisa mentioned, Iris did not place her trust in Leon, causing them to be parted from one another and she would be a fool to repeat the same mistake all over again since they were finally together again.She instantly sobered and turned to stare at Ruth intently. "Ruth, were you telling the truth?""Well," Ruth looked away and stuttered guiltily."Iris, the truth is right before you, so why bother lying to yourself? Leon is not a good man. Just break up with him! I think Anson is a better match for you!" Gilbert said.He preferred Anson as his son-in-law all along and desperately wished that Iris could leave Leon and be with Anson, so that he could return to the Youngs using the Collins' influence."That's right! Iris, I do love you with all my heart!" A luxurious sports car raced over and stopped in front of the yard. Anson opened the door and stepped out of it."Anson, why are you here?" Gilbert hurried over excitedly."Uncle Gilbert, it's been a while," Anson greeted hi
Iris said coldly.She simply did not want to listen to Gilbert's lecture and would never agree to break up with Leon."What? You are making him soup?" Gilbert paled, feeling as though he fell into a pool of ice-cold water. Realizing that all that he said went down the gutter, he hurried after her. "Iris, wait up. Can you stop being so stubborn?"Since Iris and Gilbert both left, Louisa followed them into the living room. "Iris, let me help you with that soup!"Once the three left, Anson and Ruth were the only ones left in the yard."Ruth, I asked for your help to break Leon and Iris up. How is it going?" Anson walked over hastily and asked."I was helping out, wasn't I? What else do you think Gilbert is that angry with Leon?" Ruth said casually.She never planned on getting involved, but accidently gave Anson a helping hand. However, judging from Iris's reaction, it was safe to assume that her trick did not work."That's great! As expected of my sister. You haven't let me down!
"Here's the thing. Ruth wanted the other half of the Mysterious Maiden Method and she," Leon explained the situation briefly."I see!" Iris exclaimed after listening to his explanation.Once she knew that it was all just a misunderstanding, the wariness in her heart vanished."Iris, I'm telling the truth. Will you believe me?" He asked sheepishly, not knowing if she would choose to believe him."Yeah. I believe you!" She beamed at him."Really? I'm so glad!" Leon was overjoyed as he did not expect Iris to believe him so easily and felt much more relaxed."Don't be too excited just yet! I believe you, but this is the last time something like this happens! From now on, you have to keep your distance from Ruth and if something like this happens again, I won't let it go so easily," Iris warned him.Though it was merely a misunderstanding, Ruth was one of the Four Beauties in Springfield City and was almost comparable to her in terms of beauty and demeanor, so Iris saw Ruth as a thre
Leon was shocked and could not believe what he heard. "Are you crazy, Ruth? How can a man and a woman be in the same bed when they aren't even a couple?" Leon roared."Who told you we are sleeping on the same bed? Dream on! I'm sleeping on the bed and you are sleeping on the ground." She said smugly."I see. You scared me for a moment there." He sighed a breath of relief, before coming to a realization. "Hang on. Why should I sleep on the ground? What kind of sick joke is that?""Who's joking? Are you going to make a frail woman like me sleep on the floor?" Ruth retorted.He was rendered speechless as Ruth was hardly frail, not to mention that she invaded his room."What on earth is wrong with you, Ruth Collins? You have your own room, so why do you have to come and sleep in mine?" He questioned in displeasure."It's simple. I told you that I'm not giving a single peaceful moment unless you hand me the other half of the Mysterious Maiden Method!" She said slyly. "If Iris Young se
