"Yes, that's fine. I'll make sure to tell my grandfather that!" Ruth nodded and said.Ruth's grandfather had made Ruth stay by Leon's side during the recent period precisely because he wanted to get a Power Method.If Leon was willing to give that method in exchange for their allegiance, Ruth felt like it was quite likely her grandfather would agree.Of course, the most important thing was that Leon was just too strong at that moment. In front of all that power, the Collins had no choice but to negotiate!"Leon, I can't believe my wish for so many years has been accomplished by you! You really are amazing!" Elder Young patted Leon on the shoulder. He had a complicated expression on his face, but it was mostly excitement and happiness.In all his years, his greatest wish was for the Youngs to overtake the three other families, becoming the head of the four families and taking over Springfield City!Yet, at that moment, the goal was further andd further away. Yet, Leon had managed
Leon was dumbfounded as he looked at Cynthia move her things in.He had reconciled with the Shears because he wanted to make up for what he owed them. It was not because he wanted to get together with Cynthia.Yet, at that moment, both the Shears and the Youngs seemed to have treated the two matters as one and the same.Even if he wanted to explain himself, he could not!"Cynthia, why would you do that? I already told you so many times. The woman I love is Iris, I can't give you the happiness you deserve," Leon said in exasperation."I know! It's fine, I don't care. In the end, you've stolen my marriage. From now on, I'll be relying on you my whole life!" Cynthia said firmly.The moment Leon stopped her marriage that morning, she could tell that Leon still had some feelings for her even though Leon did not admit it. It was just that Leon could not get past his own morals.Since Iris already gave her permission, Cynthia would be able to get Leon to accept her if she continued wor
With the Collins, at the main hall, all of the first and second line of direct descendants, as well as the elders, were all gathered there. They were talking about Leon toppling the Fields."Leon is just too strong! He's so young, but he doesn't just have a Power Method, he has so many tricks up his sleeve too. Even Elder Lapwood, who was at the Emperor state, could not take his attack!""I really don't know how he did it!" Goliath said.Thinking about that incredible power Leon had shown just now, he still felt a bit wary."That's right!""Thankfully, George already resolved our grudges with Leon. Otherwise, it would be our turn!"The few elders were looking incredibly glad.Anson in particular had been secretly unhappy with George after he helped Leon against the Fields and Harold back then.He finally understood how intelligent George's move had been!"It's just a pity. I still underestimated Leon in the end. His growth is much faster and more powerful than I expected!" Geo
"Everyone, don't worry! I've spoken to Leon a few times before this. He's quite a decent character. He's not someone who would do something like that! In the end, there was a reason for everything that happened between him and the Shears. I don't think he'll treat us like that," George forced out a smile, trying to console the others in the family.However, before he could even finish saying what he wanted to, he suddenly heard some frantic footsteps. Ruth walked into the main hall."Ruth, why are you here?"George was surprised to see Ruth there. An uneasy feeling surfaced in his heart."Grandfather, it's like this. Elder Young asked me to tell you that he hopes you'll declare your loyalty for Leon and follow Leon from now on…"Ruth gave a brief explanation, but before she could even finish, the Collins were in an uproar the next instant!"It actually happened!""I can't believe Leon is already aiming for us right after he toppled the Fields!""That's right. Even after we've h
"Ruth, are you serious?" George grabbed Ruth's arm after he snapped back to reality. He looked incredibly excited."I'm absolutely serious!" Ruth nodded and said."Good, this is amazing!" George was ecstatic. He started to laugh in elation.He knew how valuable Power Methods were. Whether it was him or the others, none of them would have dreamed of getting something like that!If Leon was willing to pass something like that down to them, it would absolutely be worth them swearing their loyalty to Leon!Of course, while everyone was excited, some people voiced out questions."George, be wary of any tricks! An Advanced Power Method is so remarkably valuable. We have nothing to do with Leon, how could he pass down something like that to us? I think he's just trying to trick us," Goliath said.His words were served as a rude awakening to George and the other elders."That's right!""The Lapwoods tried so hard, and they still failed to get anything from Leon.""If it's something s
"Ruth, you shouldn't believe anything you hear!""Are you sure that Leon has an Ultimate Power Method?"George and the others could not stop themselves from asking more about the matter. They started to wonder if Ruth had just misheard things.After all, an Ultimate Power Method would be something at the top of Sky County. So many major families would completely spend their fortunes just looking for one!They refused to believe that an orphan with nothing to his name like Leon would be able to have something so valuable!"Grandfather, I'm absolutely certain! Before I came back, I even saw Leon handing over two books to the Youngs. One of them is an Advanced Power Method, while the other is an Ultimate Power Method," Ruth explained the situation.After hearing that, George and the others fell silent. No one doubted the matter anymore."No wonder Leon's willing to give us something like that! He has something even better!" George breathed a sigh of relief.He had been a bit worri
On the other hand, Leon was always a grateful man, as evident by the way he taught the Wicks the methods belonging to the Advanced Power class in appreciation for how Jenson helped him in the past. Not only that, but he also taught Vincent the Dispel Demon Method when he helped Vincent advance to the Overlord state. Up until this point, five major families in Springfield City possessed the Advanced Power class methods, which were Vincent, the Youngs, the Shears, the Collins, and the Wicks. All five of these families had close ties with Leon, and even after leaving Springfield City, Leon's business would still be able to stand strong with their help. However, because Leon was all on his own, he still had a long, long way to go when it came to expanding his business. That afternoon at the Dragon Corps, Leon arrived at the office by himself and met up with Master Haslewood as planned. After greeting each other, Master Haslewood gestured for Leon to sit down across from him
"What do you mean by this?" Leon stared at Master Haslewood in puzzlement. "Well, there are two types of members of the Dragon Corps—the first kind are the fixed staff, who are required to maintain in their posts of duty, but the second kind, the auxiliary staff, are not required to do so and have freedom in their movements as long as they remain in their duties. "If you're willing to join us, I can help you apply for an auxiliary post so that your duties won't be affected even if you will be based in Sky County in the future!" Master Haslewood explained. "What? That exists?" Leon gaped at this, and could not help feeling a little swayed. To be a member of the Dragon Corps and yet have no restrictions in his location was the best of both worlds! However, on second thought, he realized something was amiss. "What do I have to do for the Dragon Corps?" "It's simple—you have to accomplish every mission that the corporation assigns you!" Master Haslewood replied. Leon hesi
