Bang!Looking at the elders being tempted, Tomas immediately stood up and slammed his hand on the table before Benedict could react."What's there to discuss? Are we really going to toss away our reputation for a few pills?!" Tomas said angrily.Cynthia was the treasured daughter of the Shears. If she continued to be with Leon and Iris, willingly becoming Leon's mistress, it would completely destroy the reputation of the Shears when word got out!Even he would not agree to that, let alone Brad and Benedict!"Uncle is right! There's no room for negotiation with regard to this!" Brad stood up and said with resolve as well."Everyone, it's not just the Pure Energy Pills, I have an Advanced Power class method to give you as an apology as well," Leon hurriedly said, taking a book out.He had gotten Cynthia to retrieve some pen and paper after he finished refining the Pure Energy Pills to write the method down. The goal was to show his sincerity to the Shears to dissolve the conflict
"What? Uncle, you…"Brad was stunned as he looked at Tomas in disbelief.Earlier, he had thought that Tomas would forever stand by his side after Tomas berated the elders like that.He never expected Tomas would betray him like that for one method!His uncle was too unreliable!"How shameless…"The elders silently cursed Tomas in their hearts.However, the Advanced Pure Energy Pills and the Advanced Power class method were right in front of them. All of them were already incredibly tempted.Since Tomas was willing to give in, it suited them just fine!"Tomas is right!""This is Cynthia's own choice. We should let the youngsters resolve things among themselves!""It might not be good for us old folks to forcibly interfere…"The elders all advised."No! Dad, this is just absurd. As long as Leon refuses to leave Iris, I'll never let Cynthia be with him!" Brad said angrily. He remained firm."That…"Benedict's face was dark with uncertainty. He looked like he was waging a wa
"So that's it!"Benedict and the others had looks of realization on their faces after Leon's explanation.Brad, in particular, started to calm down a lot more, no longer objecting to the situation.There was no way he would have allowed Cynthia to be a mistress.However, Leon was just trying to resolve things with the Shears. He was not trying to ask for their permission to be with Cynthia. It was something he and Benedict could accept.Just like Leon said, they could let everything run its course. If Cynthia had a moment of realization one day, she might give up on Leon herself.Of course, there was nothing they could do if she did not.With how stubborn Cynthia was, there was no way they would be able to force Cynthia to draw the line with Leon. Otherwise, Cynthia might end up deciding to die for Leon, just like Iris had.Then, they would lose everything!In the end, all they could do was hope that Leon would know his place and not try to deceive Cynthia. As for whether or n
"Elder Shear, I have something else I want to talk to you about in private…" Leon looked at Tomas and the other elders before he stopped his words."All of you, head out!" Benedict understood and waved the rest of them away.Very quickly, only Benedict, Leon, and Cynthia were left in the hall."Leon, what is it? Go ahead," Benedict asked curiously."I still have another method to give you," Leon said before he took out a method. He had just written that down as well."A method? Didn't you just give one to us?" Benedict was shocked, not sure of what Leon was trying to do."It's different. The one from before was just an Advanced Power class Method! This one is an Ultimate Power class method!" Leon said simply."What? An Ultimate Power Method? So what Sean Lapwood said was true. You really do have one!" Benedict was shocked to hear that. He immediately stood up.When Leon was fighting Sean, Leon merely admitted that he had an Advanced Power Method. He never admitted to having a
After Leon passed the method to Benedict, Leon bid his farewells to Cynthia and left the Shears.After all his hard work, he had finally resolved things with the Shears. It had relieved a massive burden from his heart, and he felt incredibly happy.However, just thinking about Cynthia gave him a bit of a headache.In truth, he had just wanted to resolve things with the Shears. He wanted to make up for what he owed them.Yet, things went a bit out of control. With how Benedict and the Shears were acting, it was like they had all silently agreed to his relationship with Cynthia.It rendered him unable to defend himself!Of course, as a man, it was something brilliant. He should be happy about it.However, looking at it from Iris and Cynthia's perspective, it was just too absurd. It was too unfair for both of them!His logic told him that he could not be so shameless. However, reality rendered him constantly on the back foot!Suddenly, he felt like his emotions were in a mess. He
"So that's what you're here for!" Iris had a look of realization on her face. After that, she said, "What about it?""What? Iris, are you thinking straight? Your boyfriend is about to be stolen by another woman. Why are you so unconcerned?" Gilbert was shocked. He could not believe his ears.He thought that Iris would be furious about this. He never expected Iris' reaction to be so calm!He was absolutely confused!"I…" Iris was speechless.Leon and Cynthia's relationship had already been silently approved by her before this. Back then, she had been the one who asked Leon to reconcile with Cynthia. It was just that the matter was a bit odd. She did not know how to explain things to Gilbert!Surely she could not tell her grandfather and father that she had already accepted Cynthia?The two of them would probably blow up with anger at that!At that moment, Ruth was on the sofa in the living room. Her chin was on her hands, and she was enjoying the show.Looking at Gilbert being
"Iris, y-you and Cynthia, with Leon…""Are you crazy?" Gilbert was absolutely furious after he snapped out of his shock!"Dad, things aren't the way you think. Cynthia helped Leon a lot before this. She was already practically engaged with Leon back then, and I ruined it for her, stealing her fiance. I've always regretted it a lot. In the end, I just want to give her a chance to make up for the hurt I've caused her," Iris said."Nonsense! How could this be allowed? I won't agree to this!" A Gilbert almost blew up in his anger."Whatever! Iris, give Leon a call right now. Have him come back here immediately! I want to talk to him personally!" Elder Young said seriously. He looked much calmer than Gilbert was."There's no need, I'm already back!"At that moment, Leon's voice was heard. He walked right into the living room.Gilbert could not hold his anger back at the sight of Leon. He immediately exploded, "Leon, you absolute scoundrel!""How could you do this?!" Gilbert said a
"No, I can't cut ties with the Shears and Cynthia…" Leon shook his head and said firmly.Cynthia had helped him and the Shears a lot before. He owed the Shears a lot, especially after they had their falling out. He had spent so much hard work to resolve things with the Shears. There was no way he would hurt them again!"You…""Leon, I'm warning you. My patience is limited. You'd better know your place!" Gilbert was furious. He was on the verge of exploding."Dad, can you stop making things hard for Leon? Cynthia and the Shears have helped Leon so much before this. Leon had a falling out with the Shears because of me, he's already been very burdened. He's finally managed to reconcile with the Shears. Both Cynthia and I are willing parties in this as well. Why do you need to interfere?" Iris said."Iris, is there something wrong with you? Leon is doing something like this, but you're not blaming him and even tolerating it. Are you trying to anger me to death?" Gilbert was going cr
