He felt no sympathy for Leon at all."How can this happen?" Iris paled and stumbled, coming close to collapsing on the ground.Ruth acted in time and caught her as she fell."Iris, don't listen to my brother! Leon only acted out of self-defense. I'm sure the Dragon Corps won't punish him," Ruth said and turned to glare at Anson.Leon was the one who came to her and Iris's rescue when they were about to be harmed by Jacob and Ruth was grateful, so she did not want anything bad to happen to him."Ruth, stop trying to console her! If the Dragon Corps indeed deemed him innocent, he would have set him free by now! Since he hasn't been released, it means that he's facing punishment," Anson said confidently.Both Ruth and Iris were rendered speechless and their hearts sank as they knew that Anson was right. It was almost three days and since Leon did not return, it was likely that he was facing punishments, or might have already been imprisoned."Whether or not he's being locked away,
If Leon ended up being imprisoned for decades, Iris would waste her youth waiting for Leon."Iris, I think what Anson said makes sense. Maybe you can reconsider this?" Gilbert said."Dad-"Before Iris could say anything, Albert walked over. "Gilbert, are you stupid? Leon has done our family a great favor and it's bad enough that you aren't grateful for that. Are you still trying to tear him and Iris apart?" He roared in annoyance."Dad, it's not that I want to, but what would happen to Iris if Leon ends up getting locked away for life?" Gilbert said."Yeah! Elder Young, are you okay with Iris becoming a widow?" Anson agreed."Well," Albert was instantly rendered speechless."Anson Collins, shut your damn mouth! I'm perfectly alive so how can Iris be a widow? Run your mouth again and I'll beat you up!" Leon shouted as he strode in with a dark look on his face.If the Collins did not help him in the past, Leon would have slapped Anson in the face right away."Leon, why are you b
He was intently filled with guilt and shame."It's good that you are fine," Iris beamed, feeling the burden on her shoulders lifting at Leon's return."Mister Collins, do you need something here? If you have no business here, please go!" Leon shot Anson a cold look."I-" Anson's expression darkened. He came to take Ruth home, but since Leon returned, Ruth could stay."Don't act all smug just yet, Leon! I won't give up on Iris!" Anson scoffed, before running away.Once he left, Albert stopped the Youngs from gathering their belongings as it no longer mattered if Iris moved back to the Young Mansion with Leon's return.Both Leon and Iris grew accustomed to the peaceful environment of Dragonbay Villas and were both reluctant to move back to the Young Mansion."Leon, Louisa isn't doing too well. You need to treat her now!" Iris said worriedly."Yeah! Don't worry. I need to make a run to the Shears and get some ingredients for the medicine first. I'll treat Louisa right away once I
That was the difference between killing a civilian and a famous person. To counter any negative impact of the issue, the Dragon Corps would at least lock Leon away for a few years to make an example of him.Walter instantly felt better at the thought and desperately wished that the Dragon Corps would lock Leon away for life."Grandpa, bad news!" Just then Theodore rolled himself onto the wheelchair and barged into the room.Theodore led his men to ambush Leon and not only did he fail, but Leon also broke both of his legs and he was bound to his wheelchair ever since.Even if he was to recover from the injury, his legs would never function the way it was before."Theodore, what's going on? Why are you panicking?" Denzel scowled at Theodore's frantic state."Dad, I just received news that Leon was released by the Dragon Corps," Theodore blurted out with a dark look on his face."What?!""Leon's out? How's that possible?!"Denzel gasped in shock and Walter jumped from his bed."
"Don't worry, Theodore! Leon is only in the Intermediate Overlord State and hasn't gotten to the next power level just yet! Besides, he's all alone. Even if he reaches the Advanced Overlord State, he can't fight us all!" Walter said.Back when Walter fought Leon, he sensed that Leon was only at the Intermediate State, or he would have never managed to escape from Leon so easily.Considering Leon's current strength, the Fields could no longer attack him, but Leon was merely an orphan with no support from his own family, so he would not be able to harm the Fields either."That might be true, but Leon is still young and is insanely talented! With a few years' time, he might get to the Peak Overlord State or even higher. How are we going to defend ourselves from him then?" Theodore said worriedly."Well," Walter was instantly rendered speechless, as Theodore was right; Leon was incredibly talented and would surely reach higher levels in the future.Leon might not have the power to eli
Denzel explained."What?! Is that true?" Walter asked in excitement."Yeah!" Denzel nodded."That's great! Even the odds are in our favor! Denzel, contact Lilith right away and get her to talk Sean into handling Leon!" Walter burst out laughing."Of course. I'll call Lilith later and get her to come to Springfield City with Sean," Denzel said.In the following days, Leon obtained another herb that grew for three hundred years to treat Louisa and Louisa regained consciousness since then.Leon and Ruth worked hard to care for her and her condition steadily began to stabilize.Meanwhile, Iris spent the days with Leon lazing around since too much happened lately, so the burden of managing Elegante Group fell upon Ariel's shoulders.Since everything with the Youngs finally settle down and Louisa was well taken care of by Leon and Ruth, Iris returned to work and put everything in order with Ariel's help.On the other end, Albert took full control over the Youngs once again and both
Before Leon had the chance to terminate the contract with the supplier, they grew arrogant and schemed to undermine Elegante Group, which was something that Leon refused to tolerate."Iris, the raw material provided by this supplier isn't that great anyway. Let's just terminate our contract with them and find a new supplier!" Leon said."Yeah. That's what I'm thinking as well! I plan to go on a business trip tomorrow to check out the cities around us in search of a new supplier," Iris nodded.Though there were two raw material suppliers for cosmetic products in Springfield City, they were both too small to fulfill Elegant Group's demand.The supplier Ashwin worked with was found in a different city, and if Iris wished to find a different supplier, she would have to travel out of Springfield City as well."Sure. I'll come with you!" Leon smiled.As the president of Elegante Group and Iris's boyfriend, he naturally had to go with Iris."Where are you two going to have fun? I'm com
"Sure, you-"Before Iris could finish, Ruth interrupted her and said, "Leon, aren't things over between you and Cynthia? Why are you going to see her? Oh, I see! Are you secretly dating her behind Iris's back?" Ruth felt as though she discovered Leon's biggest secret."What are you talking about? Besides, this is between me and Cynthia. How is it any of your business?" Leon glared at her."It might not be my business, but it's Iris's! Iris, did you hear him? He's cheating on you! Give him hell!" Ruth said."Um," Iris hesitated awkwardly, before ignoring Ruth and saying, "Leon, go see Cynthia, and don't stay out too late.""What?!" Ruth's jaw dropped.She thought that Iris would be angry and would give Leon a hard time; to her bewilderment, not only did not blame Leon, she allowed him to see Cynthia."Iris, have you gone mad?" Ruth gaped at Iris."No," Iris shook her head."But," Ruth muttered."Mind your own business! Iris, I'll go see Cynthia and come back right away." Leon
