Leon grabbed her hand and said shamelessly, "Cynthia, if you believe me now, can you give me the Panax?""No way! I said no!" He snorted and pulled her hand away from his grip."Why not?" His jaw dropped. He thought that he managed to appease her anger, but women were simply far to read and he underestimated how angry she was."I'm upset that all you think of is Iris! Is there a problem?!" Cynthia said wilfully."But," Leon widened his eyes, "Cynthia, why would you do this to yourself? You know better than anyone that I love Iris and if possible, I would much rather be your friend forever," Leon sighed and said.He felt conflicted in the face of Cynthia's love toward him.Though Iris gave Cynthia a chance and he did have feelings for Cynthia, he already had Iris and could not possibly make Cynthia happy.Leon was not a selfish man and if he could not give her his promise, he should let go of her as soon as possible so that she would not waste her youth waiting on him.He was wi
"Cynthia, I remember that I never got to finish my massage for you. I owe you a massage. Are you tired now? Do you feel like having a massage?" He smiled endearingly as he switched to a different tactic."You still remember? I guess you're not that horrible after all!" Cynthia scoffed and beamed at him.It was not that Leon fawned over her that made her happy, but the fact that he remembered the details of the time they spent together. Though it was only a massage, she was over the moon that he cared enough to remember."Of course! Cynthia, why don't you lay down? I'll give you a massage!" Leon said enthusiastically, knowing that he used the correct tactic and that it would only take him some time to cheer Cynthia up.Cynthia sat on her leather chair and lifted her legs wrapped in black stockings and placed them on Leon's lap to enjoy his massage.Back when Leon massaged her, they were merely friends so he held back; however, since they were more than friends after everything that
Her concern was that the Shears might not have the wild Panax Leon looked for and Leon looked for it elsewhere."You'll regret it for not listening to your father! I told you that Leon doesn't have what it takes to get the Panax from the Shears! After what he did to them, asking the Shears for help is just as good as asking to be killed! I told you not to do it, but you just won't listen. Look what happens!" Gilbert snorted smugly. He already warned Leon not to go to the Shears, so if Leon died, he would have no one but himself to blame."Who said that I can't get the Panax?" Leon strode into the room calmly."Leon! You're fine!" Gilbert was shocked to see Leon return safely.He thought that Leon would at least be severely injured by the Shears and did not expect him to be completely fine."Leon, you're finally back! What took you so long?" Iris hurried over excitedly."Well," He muttered sheepishly.It took him hours to massage Cynthia and cheer her up, but since it was not som
"Iris, I'm going to make this into medicine. Once I'm done, I'll start treating Elder Young," Leon said."Sure. I'll go with you!" Iris said, before leaving the room with Leon.Gilbert was left in the room as he stood alone blankly.Inside the kitchen, Leon cut one fifth of the Panax and boiled it in water to make the medicine for Young.Once the medicine was prepared, Iris and Leon returned to Albert's room to find Louisa and Ruth inside as well, as they wanted to see if Leon was truly capable of curing Albert."Leon, I'll entrust you with my grandpa," Iris said hopefully."Yeah. I'll try my best!" Leon nodded, before walking over to the bed with the medicine."Hang on!" Gilbert stood in Leon's way with a dark expression. "Leon, are you sure that you can cure my father?""Well," Leon hesitated."What's wrong? Are you not sure, Leon?" Iris's heart sank when she saw his hesitation.Though Leon managed to revive her the time before, the blade never actually wounded her heart an
"Iris, I'm just worried that he might be an amateur and might cause your grandfather's condition to worsen," Gilbert smiled sheepishly and slumped."So what? Grandpa is pretty much like a dead person now and even the Holy Doctor was at his wits end! It doesn't matter if Leon can cure Grandpa so long as he tries his best! If something does happen to Grandpa, it's just how things are meant to be. You can't possibly blame Leon for that!" Iris deadpanned coldly."But," Rendered speechless, Gilbert wanted to argue, but could not say a word."Uncle Gilbert, can you move out of the way now?" Leon asked.Gilbert looked down on Leon since the first time they met as though they were enemies from their past lives. Even after Gilbert lost everything, his contempt for Leon did not cease and Leon could not understand what gave Gilbert the idea that he had any rights to look down on anyone.Since Gilbert was prejudiced against Leon, Leon ran out of patience with Gilbert as well.If only Gilbert
"Leon, so you have been bragging when you said that you can cure my father!" Gilbert mocked when he knew that Leon could not wake Albert right away."Dad, treating someone isn't that easy! Besides, Grandpa is in a critical state right now. Isn't it normal that it will take Leon a few days?" Iris retorted."Who knows? Your injuries from the time before were much worse, but he revived you right away, didn't he? If he can't even wake Dad up now, how can he be capable of curing him? I think he just had the wrong diagnosis!" Gilbert said.He never believed for a moment that his father was attacked and was doubtful after hearing Leon's diagnosis, but was only forced into compromising since Iris supported Leon and reality showed that Leon could not revive Albert.Leon was extremely displeased for being doubted time and time again, but explained patiently regardless, "Uncle Gilbert, Iris was treated in time, so my treatment worked right away. It's different for Elder Young and his conditio
"He's fine! He should wake up anytime now!" Leon smiled."Wake up? Just look at him!" Gilbert roared as he looked at Albert's limp body. "You scammer, Leon! I already told you that you had the wrong diagnosis, but you insist on doing things your way."Gilbert grew increasingly irritated and the anger he suppressed exploded."Calm down, Dad! Leon said that Grandpa will wake up soon. Just wait!" Iris said, her voice growing weaker as she spoke.She trusted Leon at first, but Albert did not seem to recover throughout the days and she started to doubt if her father was right about Leon having the wrong diagnosis."Wait? I've been waiting for five days! Move out of the way, Iris. I have to teach this kid a lesson today!" Gilbert shouted as he gathered his true energy in his palm."Uncle Gilbert, I've been respectful and tolerated you because you're a senior, but I'm not scared of you. Please don't try me!" Enraged, Leon's expression darkened."You dare to threaten me, you brat?! I'm
He thought that Harold would kill him and did not expect to survive."Yeah! You're fine, Grandpa! Leon saved you," Iris said excitedly."Leon?" Albert paused and was instantly filled with joy when he saw Leon standing on the side.Right before he lost consciousness, the only thought in his mind was that Leon was the only one who could save the Youngs and seeing how Leon was inside his room, Albert assumed that the Youngs were saved from the hands of Harold with Leon's help."That's great! Even the gods are on our side!" Albert burst into laughter."Dad, what's wrong with you?" Gilbert hurried over in confusion."Gilbert, you did well! You noticed that Daisy plotted with Harold Lowe and teamed with Leon to fight them off, didn't you?" Albert turned to Gilbert and studied him with appreciation.He just regained consciousness and did not know what happened, but he was certain that Gilbert would be in charge after he fell ill. If Gilbert managed to get Leon's support in fighting Har
