"On the other hand, those four people we met on the mountain are truly the scum of society, and they can't be forgiven that easily!"Leon has always drawn a clear line when it came to grudges. Leopard might have cut him, but at least Leopard had slightly more morals and principles. They merely had a different outlook when it comes to the way they carried themselves, and such differences were not sufficient enough a reason for him to kill Leopard.On the contrary, the four men he beat up on the mountain earlier had no principles and moral bottom line. Such people could potentially become the scourge of society, which necessitated a severe punishment!"Okay. I'll go with your decision..." Iris nodded after being persuaded by Leon."Thank you very much, Mister Wolf. I promise to remember your kindness today. If there's anything you ever need, I, Felix Leopard Moneta, will give you my word that I'll do everything in my power to help you, even if it means having to cross a sea of fire!"
Amazingly, the wound was already scabbed all over and seemed to have improved greatly even though it was not long since Leon suffered the injury."The wounds on your back have closed up, Leon! Your recovery is amazingly quick!" Iris was surprised.She clearly remembered that Leon was stabbed in the chest when he saved her during their first encounter. At that time, his scar healed and fell off in just one day, leaving almost no trace whatsoever.Seeing it happen a second time was simply too unbelievable for Iris!"Maybe it's because I'm a bit more physically fit than normal people, hence the faster recovery speed..." Leon's immediately realized that it was most probably related to his practice of refining spiritual energy."Makes sense." Iris nodded and did not think much of it.She then stretched out her fair-skinned hand and gently massaged the ointment on Leon's back. Her hands rubbed up and down, all over, and it did not take too long for her to finish applying the ointment f
The dress that Lily wore was quite fashionable, and although they were not high-end luxury-brand clothes, they suited her charming temperament perfectly and bestowed on her a simple allure.It was the first time that Leon has truly seen Lily's true beauty. She might not be as hot and tempting as Iris and Ariel when it came to her figure, but her looks were almost on par with Ariel's and she was up there with the latter in terms of beauty!"Leon, is… something wrong?" Lily blushed when she sensed Leon's fiery gaze and her heart began pounding nervously. She lowered her head instantly and did not dare to look into Leon's eyes again.Ever since Leon came to her aid all those times, she unwittingly began to develop some feelings for the tall and handsome Leon. Since it was the first time that she invited him to her home as a guest, she deliberately dressed herself up to leave a good impression on him.Leon's reaction proved that her efforts were not in vain, and a slight sense of joy a
Bowden watched from behind as Lily walked away with Leon, and he clenched his fists tightly with a resentful expression."You just have to be stubborn, don't you? Since you're so eager to get yourself in trouble, I guess I ought to make your wish come true!" Bowden had a grim look on his face as he took out his cell phone and started making some calls.Lily and Leon walked side by side toward Lily's house."Bowden's always been petty and vengeful. I was told that a cousin of his is a very powerful figure. Now that he's holding a grudge against you, you need to be extra careful whenever you run into him in the future," Lily reminded worriedly.Her family was longtime neighbors with Bowden's family, and she knew a bit about Bowden's family background because both sides used to have a good relationship with each other. In recent years, however, Bowden's family finances became increasingly better. As a result, they rarely came back to their old home ever since they bought two new house
Serena's eyes lit up when she saw what happened, seemingly understanding something. "Leon, I have a few things I want to ask you, I wonder if you'd be fine to answer them," Serene asked."What is it?""I'll answer any questions you have," Leon smiled and said."You're not that young anymore. Do you have a girlfriend right now?" Serena said in a meaningful manner.The moment she heard her mother say that, Lily immediately guessed Serena's intentions. She blushed intensely, and looked down to avoid her mother's gaze, not daring to look at Leon either."No…" Leon shook his head, not elaborating.Even though he did not have a girlfriend, he just got a divorce not that long ago.However, divorce was nothing to be proud of. Since Serena did not ask about it, he did not say anything."I can't believe you don't have a girlfriend when you're so excellent. You have a good character too!" Serena was a little surprised, but her smile deepened.She took a few more looks at Leon, and was
From outside, a pretty young girl who looked about twenty-six or twenty-seven of age walked in with two young men."Rizzy, Richard, why are you here?" Lily was surprised. The young girl in front of her was her uncle's daughter. It was her cousin, Rizzy Plummer.One of the young men behind Rizzy was her cousin-in-law, Richard Lewis.Lily's father left them at a young age, and her mother brought the two of them up by herself.During that time, her uncle and some relatives helped their family a lot. Rizzy was included among them.The two of them grew up together, and they had an incredibly good relationship.When her mother was sent to the hospital, they borrowed a lot of money from Rizzy to pay for it.Whether it was her uncle or Rizzy, both of them did everything they could to help Lily's family, so Lily's family was incredibly grateful."Lily, I heard that Aunt Serena's already out of the hospital. It's the weekend today, so Richard and I weren't working. We came here to visi
Lily's appearance was incredibly beautiful, and she even took the time to dress up nicely that day. She looked incredibly elegant and fresh. Lily was much prettier than Duncan thought. He felt like he never saw such a pure and beautiful woman before.The moment he saw Lily, he was shocked. He felt like Lily was perfect."Mr. Leonard, you're praising me too much…" Lily smiled politely, feeling a little awkward.She just graduated from university not too long ago, so she felt like she was still very young, and did not need to be looking for marriage just yet.However, Rizzy still did it out of the kindness of her heart. If it were any ordinary time, she would have gone through with it just for Rizzy's sake.However, the situation was a little unusual that day. They invited Leon over to thank Leon for helping them.Rizzy suddenly wanted to introduce her to a man. Surely she could not do that in front of Leon?Furthermore, she was already starting to fancy Leon a little, so she did
Since Rizzy already saw through it, Serena admitted it willingly. That way, Rizzy would stop trying to set Lily up with others, and it would save them some trouble."How could you do that?!" "Aunt Serena, Leon's famous for being useless, and he's a divorcee. How could he be worthy of Lily?!" “Were you fooled by him?!" Rizzy's jaws almost dropped on the floor in disbelief. "What? Useless? A divorcee?" "Rizzy, could you be mistaken?!" Serena looked at Rizzy in shock and disbelief, not understanding what Rizzy was saying."I'm not mistaken at all!""Aunt Serena, you might not know this, but he used to be married into the Mansons. He was cheated on by Marilyn not too long ago, and was kicked out of the household without anything to his name…" Rizzy briefly recounted everything.She still worked with the Mansons, and she knew a bit about Leon's divorce from Marilyn. She knew that Leon was kicked out by Marilyn!Marilyn even had someone else's child. Someone as useless as Leon w
