"What?" Patrick was shocked.He just promised to help Iris with obtaining the Angel's Fruit, and before he could act, Charlie came to visit.Patrick was completely caught by surprise; both Iris and Damian were confused as well as they tried to figure out why Charlie would visit the Scammells."Max, invite Mister Martell in!" Patrick commanded."Yes!" Max said, before leaving the room.Shortly after, Charlie strode in with a delicate gift box in his hands, followed by two towering bodyguards."Greetings to you, Elder Patrick." Charlie approached and bowed deeply."Hello, Mister Martell. Please take a seat," Patrick smiled and was impressed by Charlie's manners.After a brief exchange of pleasantry, everyone took their seats."Mister Martell, what brought you here?" Patrick cut to the chase."I fell in love with Miss Young after meeting her for the first time earlier, so I've come to ask for her hand in marriage," Charlie explained."What?!"Iris and Damian were both shaken t
"That's great!" Patrick beamed.He wanted Iris to leave Leon ever since he found out that Leon was dating multiple women at the same time.The fact that Charlie came to propose to Iris delivered Patrick with the solution to his trouble.Charlie was the eldest son of the Martells and Iris was a lady of the Scammells, so the two were a perfect match for one another.If the marriage was confirmed, not only would Iris be able to settle down with a good husband, the Scammells would be able to join forces with the Martells, and that would benefit the family immensely."No! I won't agree to it!" Terrified, Iris objected."Why not? Iris, Mister Martell here is modest and kind, and he loves you! Others would kill for a marriage proposal this good. You can't miss it!" Patrick deadpanned.Charlie remained polite and modest throughout his conversation with the Scammells and Patrick was impressed that he offered the Angel's Fruit as a gift."Grandpa, Leon is my boyfriend and I'll never marr
"Here you are, Leon! I'm so glad to see you!" Iris beamed and hurried over."Brat, are you Miss Young's boyfriend?" Charlie scanned Leon up and down with a scowl, before realizing that Leon was Iris's boyfriend."That's right. Who are you?" Leon stared at him sharply."I'm the eldest son of the Martells, Charlie Martell!" Charlie smirked smugly."You!" Realization dawned on Leon. He already learned from Iris through the phone about what happened in the Martells Mansion, but he was clueless as to why Charlie was in the Scammells Mansion."Iris, what's going on? What happened?" Leon turned his attention to Iris."He came to make a marriage proposal," Iris explained the situation briefly."What?!" Loen was both shocked and enraged.The Angel's Fruit belonged to the Martells and it was understandable that they did not wish to sell it to Iris. However, Charlie insisted on pursuing Iris and shamelessly proposed marrying her despite knowing she had a boyfriend.Such behavior was unac
"Um," Leon paused and sobered."Kid, no one has ever dared to insult me that way. You're the first! I challenge you to a duel!" Charlie said coldly as he glared daggers at Loen."A duel? I'm not interested!" Leon scoffed and rejected the challenge."Why you! Are you scared or something?" Charlie mocked."Whatever gets you through the night. I don't have time to waste with you! Iris, let's go!" Leon ignored Charlie and was about to leave with Iris.As Iris mentioned, Charlie had the Angel's Fruit and Leon knew that it would not benefit him in any way if he caused a scene.Seeing how Leon was about to leave, Charlie felt frustrated.He was in the middle of the Scammells' territory and Leon was a part of the Scammells since he was Iris's boyfriend; if Leon refused to accept the challenge, Charlie could not possibly hurt him in the Scammells Mansion, but he was reluctant to let Leon go."You coward! If you won't accept a duel between two men, can you call yourself a man?" Charlie a
"MIster Martell, don't do it!"Patrick was shocked that Charlie and Leon decided to duel and hurried over to stop Charlie."Elder Scammell, why are you stopping me?" Charlie scowled in confusion.After the earlier exchange, he could tell that Patrick despised Leon and wanted Iris to break up with Leon to be with him instead, so Patrick should be pleased to watch as Charlie taught Leon a lesson. To his bewilderment, Patrick stopped him from fighting Leon instead and Charlie could not understand his intention."Mister Martell, you don't understand. Leon's extremely formidable and you won't win against him! Let's just let this go!" Patrick said."What?! Did you just say that I won't win against him? Elder Scammell, what kind of a joke is this?" Stunned, Charlie could hardly believe what he heard.He did not know the depth of Leon's power, but he was aware that the Scammells were only an ordinary family with a training method in the Basic Power class. Even the most talented youngster
"You'll pay for this," Patrick sighed with resignation.He warned Charlie multiple times and there was nothing else he could do since Charlie refused to believe him.'If Charlie insists on fighting Leon, I guess I'll just let him be!' He thought, 'I'm going to stand by and stop them whenever it gets too serious!'Once Patrick moved out of the way, Charlie pointed at Leon arrogantly and said, "you'll die today, brat!""Know your place!" Leon's expression darkened and he immediately walked over."Out of my respect for Miss Young, I'll give you one last chance! If you agree to leave her alone from now on, I can consider letting you go, or there'll be no mercy for you!" Charlie threatened with a sneer, as he preferred that Leon take the initiative to break up with Iris."Enough chit-chatting! Let's get started!" Leon said impatiently."If you want to die that desperately, I'll help you out with that!" Charlie's expression darkened and he immediately charged at Leon at the speed of l
"Wh- what on earth is this?" Charlie gaped when he detected Leon's true energy as he did not expect Leon to wield yet another attack toward the end of his initial attack.Before he had the time to react, Leon's Double Attack slammed against his chest.Charlie spewed blood under the impact and was instantly sent flying into the distance; a sharp pain pierced through his chest and he realized that he suffered severe internal injuries."H- How's that possible?!" Charlie landed on the ground and covered his chest in disbelief.He was certain that he would be able to injure Leon with a single blow. However, not only was Leon unscathed, he injured Charlie instead.It was far beyond his comprehension and Charlie simply could not understand how Leon managed such a thing."It's my turn now!" Leon took advantage of the situation and darted toward Charlie, who was laying on the ground."Leon, stop!" Patrick was shocked by the sight.He knew that Leon was far more powerful than Charlie and
"Mister Martell, this is your first and final warning! Iris is my woman. Try pursuing her again and I will have your head!" Leon said coldly.He was not a cruel man and since he had no personal grudge against Charlie, he would have never killed a man over a minor dispute even if Patrick did not stop him.Leon only meant to intimidate Charlie and warn him about the consequence of his actions if he tried to do the same thing again."Yeah, okay," Terrified, Charlie dared not to protest."Alright. Scram!" Leon scoffed and stepped aside.Relieved, Charlie crawled up and ran with the Angel's Fruit and his two bodyguards.Patrick felt conflicted as he watched Charlie run.He was impressed by Charlie and wanted Iris to accept Charlie's proposal. However, Charlie simply turned out to be an arrogant young man who fell short in terms of courage and talent when compared to Leon, so Patrick could not help but feel disappointed.Patrick could not deny that he was impressed by Leon's talent i
