Though reluctant, Albert was still his father and he could not disobey Albert, so he fell onto his knees."You sure look upset with me!" Albert could sense Gilbert's reluctance."I wouldn't dare to be. I just think that since Royce is my son, it doesn't really matter who becomes the leader. You didn't have to be so angry," Gilbert muttered."I didn't have to be angry?! You idiot! Royce isn’t your son! He’s the bast*rd son of Daisy and Harold Lowe!" Albert roared, exposing the secret that Daisy and Harold hid for years.Everyone inside the room froze in shock."What? That's not possible!" Gilbert could not believe what he just heard.Even the others, including Iris and Leon, were shocked as none of them thought that Royce was Harold's son."Not possible? Daisy was the one who told me about this, so it has to be true!" Albert spat resentfully."But," Gilbert fell into a dazed state as he realized that the son he raised for over twenty years was actually someone else's son."You
It was a shame that he only found out about it afterward."You!" Gilbert's expression darkened.He came close to fighting Leon when he first found out that Leon held Royce hostage, and finally realized how foolish he was at this moment.Though Leon did not mean to mock Gilbert, his words still pierced through Gilbert like sharp blades."Oh, my. Such a mess!" Ruth tutted and said.She watched as Leon treated Albert for the past few days out of curiosity, and thought that there was nothing to see when Albert did not wake up.In the end, not only did Leon revive Albert, she managed to watch such a dramatic scene unfold.Though she sympathized with what Gilbert was going through, she felt that he deserved it all when she recalled how he bullied Leon and came close to fighting Leon.Provoked by what Leon and Ruth said, Gilbert could no longer control the sorrow that took over him and spat a mouthful of blood."Dad! What's wrong? Are you going?" Startled, Iris hurried over to grab G
At the very least, they could not trust the Youngs with Daisy and Harold."You’re right, Iris! With your grandpa's help, we can definitely return!" Encouraged, Gilbert's spirit was uplifted and the despair in his expression faded.He walked over and kneeled by the bed. "Dad, I’ve been so wrong, but it's something that's already happened. Right now, the top priority is for us to take the control back from Daisy and Harold! Once you recover, you should be able to get rid of them with your power in the Intermediate Overlord State and your credibility within the family!" Gilbert said excitedly as he placed all hope on his father."That's easy for you to say! Harold destroyed my power, so what exactly do I have left to fight him with?" Albert questioned sharply."What?! Is it true that you lost your power? T- That's impossible!" Gilbert's jaw dropped.Leon already told him that Albert suffered damages in his Energy Sea Point, but Gilbert refused to believe him. After all, Albert reache
Elder Young, forgive me for saying this, but the Youngs you once knew are gone. Even if you head over tomorrow, Melvin and the others might not side with you!" Leon said hesitantly."Impossible! Melvin and the others are all Youngs. Are they supposed to support Daisy and Harold instead of me?" Albert shook his head as he shot Leon's advice down."I'll be frank, Elder Young. If you still have your power, they might back you up, but now that you’re powerless, they won't side with you even if they don't intend on submitting to Harold Lowe!" Leon said.He dealt with the Youngs on multiple occasions and knew better than anyone that the Youngs valued their own gains and nothing else.Since Albert was rendered powerless, he no longer held any value to the Youngs and they could not support him as the leader."So what if I've lost my power? Melvin’s my younger brother and he would back me up because we’re connected by blood!" Albert retorted.Though Leon saved his life, he was still displ
”Grandpa, don’t worry! We might not be able to rely on the Youngs, but we have Leon on our side! I’m sure he’ll help us!” Iris said, entrusting Leon with leading them to success.“Leon?” Albert paused in confusion.Leon was viewed as the Youngs’ enemy before he lost consciousness and it was extremely kind of Leon to agree to treat Albert, so Albert did not dare to ask for his help in taking back control of the family.Iris noticed the doubt in Albert’s mind and explained, “Grandpa, Leon and I are back together.”“What? Really?” Albert’s jaw dropped.Ever since he realized that he wronged Leon, he regretted forcing Iris and Leon apart. Though he told Iris to beg Leon to take her back, Leon already became Cynthia’s boyfriend at the time and Iris was left with no options but to give up. Hence, he was shocked to find that Iris and Leon got back together.“Yeah, it’s true.” Iris nodded.“I’m so glad!” Albert instantly burst out laughing in excitement.Not only was Leon extremely cap
"As for going back to the Youngs, let's make plans once you've recovered," Leon said after a moment.He was still no match for Harold at that moment, there was no way he would have the ability to help Elder Young and the others return to the family.However, he was already at the bottleneck of the initial Foundation Phase in the Sage Arts. Once he improves even more and broke through to the intermediate Foundation Phase, he would be able to easily defeat Harold!Then, he would use the Collins and the Southern King's power, and would probably be able to help them rejoin the family!He felt like they would probably not have to wait too long!"Yes, I understand. As long as you do your best," Elder Young said."Alright, get some rest for now, I won't disturb you."Leon excused himself. After that, he left with Ruth and Louisa.Very quickly, Elder Young, Gilbert, and Iris were the only ones left in the room.Iris stayed behind to take care of elder Young, and Gilbert merely stood t
Leon would just be alone. It would be a pipe dream for him to fight against the combined might of the Youngs and the Lowes!In the end, Leon might not be able to help them return to the Youngs even if he tried his whole life. If they waited for Leon just like that, they might never be able to return!"I know! However, we've already been abandoned by the family. We have nothing now, so how would we fight back?!" Elder Young sighed helplessly. In truth, he knew that a few years was a long time, and a lot of things might happen during the time.Furthermore, all his power was gone, and Gilbert was not that useful. In the end, he had to put all his hopes on Leon!There was no other way."No, there's someone else who can help us!" Gilbert said with fire in his eyes."Who?" Elder Young was shocked. He looked at Gilbert uncertainly."Anson! No, to be precise, it's the Collins!" Gilbert said seriously."The Collins? We have nothing to do with them. Why would they help us? It's impossi
Elder Young looked unhappy, quickly waking up from that dream.He was able to survive this time all thanks to Leon risking Leon's life to save him from the Youngs and Leon's medical skills.Leon saved him so many times. He actually forced Leon and Iris apart for the sake of his own benefits, it would be too dishonorable!He was not an idiot like Gilbert."Dad, I'm doing this for Iris's sake."Seeing as his thoughts were not able to gain Elder young's approval, Gilbert tried to explain himself. However, he was interrupted by Iris immediately."I don't care about that! Back then, you kept on saying it was for my own good when you force me and Leon apart, making us go through so much! It took so much for the two of us to get back together, and now you're trying to break us apart with the same excuse! You're really crossing the line!" Iris was furious.It was obvious to her that Gilbert just wanted her to get together with Anson for the sake of his own benefits.Suddenly, she was f
