After all, he was not someone that important to Iris. If he suddenly gave such a valuable necklace to Iris, he was worried that it would seem weird!

From what he knew of Iris, Iris would not accept any presents from the opposite gender casually.

If he gave the necklace to her, Iris might mistake him for someone with ill intentions. Then, the two of them might not even be able to remain friends. That was not something he wanted to see.

However, the necklace was already in his hands. He was not willing to just not give Iris the necklace.

"Leon, what are you staring at the floor for?"

"That's right, have you had dinner? If you haven't, I'll have some more made for you," Iris's voice snapped Leon out of his thoughts.

"No need, I've already eaten outside."

"Iris, it's late. I'm going to go wash up," Leon let out a few laughs before he quietly kept the necklace, returning to his room.

"What's up with Leon today? He looks a little weird…" Iris was confused as she looked at Leon's back

    Ariel blushed as she thanked Leon sincerely.After she got home, she followed Leon's prescriptions. Her period disappeared that night and her body felt more relaxed than it ever was.It caused her to admire Leon's medical abilities."No wonder you seem to be in such a good mood today!" Leon had a look of realization on his face, unable to resist laughing.At the vice president's office, Ashwin called Michael over the phone."Mister Duvall, I've already looked into Leon's details!" Ashwin said with a strange tone.Michael said happily, "Mister Mercer, where did that guy come from? What's his background…""Background?""He had no background at all!" Ashwin finally laughed out loud."What? Could he just be an ordinary person without any notable background?" Michael was shocked.He remembered very well that Leon got the Wick Group's cooperation so easily a few days ago, shocking everyone.Leon should have been somewhat capable or should have had a notable background to be able t

    "If Ariel knows how pathetic and useless he is, she'll leave him!" Michael was incredibly spirited as he finally smiled. All the dark thoughts in his mind vanished.After work, Iris told some of the executives of the company and some of the related employees to prepare for the celebratory banquet.Leon played the main role in Elegante being able to secure the cooperation of the Wick Group this time, with Ariel playing a secondary role.Other than the two of them, the people in the planning department who worked overtime to design a plan could not be forgotten either.The cooperation between Elegante and the Wick Group was already in progress.Iris held the celebration to reward Leon and Ariel, as well as the planning department.…Springbreak Villas was a high-end gathering spot. It was very famous in Springfield City.It was a tourist vacation spot. There were hotels and catering services. The surroundings and the scenery were incredibly beautiful.

    "Despite how hard things must have been for you, without anyone to rely on, you still managed to secure the cooperation of the Wick Group It looks like you're talented!" Ashwin said with a look of admiration."It's nothing, I was just lucky…" Leon let out an awkward smile, a little confused as to how Ashwin managed to find out that he was an orphan.Ashwin seemed to speak strangely as well. It felt a bit off, but Leon could not pinpoint why."Mister Wolf is an orphan!""I can't believe he had such a tragic past!""That's right. It does invoke some sympathy…"…The executives around them all spoke up. All of them started to look at Leon differently. Some of them had sympathy in their eyes, while some of them seemed to start to look down on him."It's already all in the past. There's no tragedy about it anymore," Leon said calmly.He was already used to getting strange looks from others, and he was much more confident than he used to be as well. He would not be affected by somet

    "Ashwin, Michael, have the two of you had enough?!" Iris slammed her hand on the table as she looked at the two of them angrily.She knew of Leon's background. She never would have dreamed that Ashwin and Michael would dig out Leon's past right in front of everyone, embarrassing Leon completely. It crossed a line!"Miss Young, don't be angry, Mister Mercer and I are just joking around with Mister Wolf. We don't mean anything by it," Michael hurriedly apologized, but he was very pleased with himself. He finally vented some of his frustrations!"That's right, Miss Young. Mister Duvall and I don't mean anything ill by it. Mister Wolf said it himself, the past is already the past. He's such an open-minded person. I'm sure he won't mind a joke like that. Aren't I right, Mister Wolf?" Ashwin smiled as he asked Leon."That joke's not funny at all," Leon forced out a smile, but he made a note to be wary of Ashwin in the future. Ashwin just uttered a few words, and he was already absolute

    "Yes, Mister Mercer. Thank you for the thoughtfulness," Iris bit her lips, and her eyes reddened a little. A sense of warmth could be felt around her heart.Since she did not have the best relationship with her father and stepmother, she did not get the chance to celebrate her birthday ever since she moved out to live alone two years ago.Her grandfather and aunt would occasionally remember her birthday and would call her to wish her or give her some presents.Other than that, she spent very quiet birthdays for the last two years. It felt quite lonely.She never expected that Ashwin would remember her birthday, nor did she expect him to prepare a surprise for her. She was touched by Ashwin's sincerity."I can't believe it's Miss Young's birthday today…""Miss Young, all of us wish you a happy birthday."The executives at the same table quickly reacted as they stood up to congratulate Iris.The other tables were the same. All of them stood up and wished Iris a happy birthday.I

    It would embarrass Ashwin if she rejected it in front of everyone. That would also be a bit mean.However, that necklace was incredibly valuable. It was not too appropriate for her to accept something like that.She was caught in a difficult spot and did not know what to do."Miss Young, this is a token of Mister Mercer's sincerity, you should accept it!""That's right, this necklace is valuable and extraordinary. It suits you very well. Only you would be worthy of it."The executives on the same desk hurriedly pushed Iris when they received a look from Ashwin.The other employees from the other desks started to join in as well. All of them sang Ashwin praises, hoping that Iris would accept the necklace."Alright, fine. I'll accept it!""Mister Mercer, thank you," Iris hesitated for a while. When she saw everyone's mood pick up, she did not want to spoil it, nor did she want to embarrass Ashwin.. In t... end, she accepted the necklace.However, she decided to have the finance

    He would not tolerate another man stealing Iris away from him!It was a firm belief he had in his heart!However, he quickly realized that Iris already accepted Ashwin's gift, and seemed to have been touched by Ashwin.Furthermore, Ashwin was the center of attention at that moment and trampled all over Leon in various ways.How could Leon fight Ashwin?"What? Am I just going to look at the woman I love being taken away?" Leon's eyes turned red in panic.Suddenly, he had a thought as his mind frantically raced. He suddenly thought of the Blue Heart of the Sea.He wondered how he would give it to Iris, but his chance was there.It was Iris's birthday. Since Iris did not reject Ashwin's present, she would probably not reject his either!"Wait!" Leon was incredibly happy as he immediately stood up."Mister Wolf, what are you doing? You have such a bright smile on your face. Are you congratulating me and Miss Young as well? You're quite smart to do that!" Ashwin looked at Leon in

    Leon giving her a present at that moment was perfect to relieve the situation for her.As long as she accepted the gift, the misunderstanding would be completely cleared up.Ashwin started to panic when it looked like Leon was about to ruin his day."Iris, just look! That necklace doesn't have any blemishes on it at all. It's some accessory that's mass-produced with machines. It's worth a few hundred at most!""How could you ruin your image by wearing something so cheap and trashy?!" Ashwin said, quickly shooting Michael and a few executives a look."Yes, Miss Young, something like this would just be an insult to yourself!""Mister Leon's just clearly trying to pull some trick on you. He's not being sincere at all. You can't accept it…"Michael and a few executives hurriedly agreed with Ashwin. "Leon, how dare you?!" "Even if you wanted to give Miss Young something, you should've at least given her something more valuable or meaningful!""How could you give Miss Young a pie

    "Miss Morrison, I would like to thank you for saving my life," Iris said as she approached Renee's bed. She meant to thank Renee for having saved her so narrowly from death during their encounter with one of Brahma's clones, which was why she lingered in Renee's room even after everyone left. "Miss Young, if you would truly like to return the favor, there is something you can do for me," Renee said, biting her lip as though what she was about to say was an excruciatingly difficult decision to make."What is it?" Iris asked, although she felt like she already knew what was the answer. "I would like to join you in being Leon's companions," Renee said with an expectant look. She harbored feelings toward Leon for some time now but refrained from competing against Iris and Cynthia, knowing there was no way she could win. However, she had an epiphany after her narrow escape from death and realized that there was so much more to life than competing with other women over a man. Therefor

    "Nothing is impossible! It's high time you accept your fate, you old git! Take this! The Phoenix Sky Fist!" Leon merely scoffed at him. The next moment, he directed one last attack at Wulfric in the form of his most powerful move—the Phoenix Sky Fist, a sage technique belonging to the Heavenly Class!A cloud of pulsating energy charged straight toward Wulfric, without any mercy toward his cries of horror!Its sole intent was to destroy him and put an end to this battle!"No—" Wulfric let out a bloodcurdling scream as he watched, defenseless, as the Phoenix Sky Fist soared toward him. His first instinct was to leap out of harm's way, but Leon was far too powerful for him and anticipated this beforehand. Not to mention the Phoenix Sky Fist was one of the most powerful moves belonging to the Heavenly Class, and there was no possible way he could escape from its wrath.Wulfric's limp body only left a few feet off the ground when the Phoenix Sky Fist crashed into him, rendering his body

    "Haha! I've finally attained the Saint State! Now it's time for you to die, you old git!" A glimmer of malice flashed through Leon's eyes. When he fixated his gaze on Wulfric's face, it sent a shudder down Wulfric's entire body, for Leon's eyes were like two pits of deep, dark, sinister hatred. "How cocky of you to say that, you twat! So what if you attained the Saint State? You haven't even got time to harness your powers yet, so you're no match for me! Take this!" Wulfric scoffed, taking no notice of Leon's threats at all. Then, without another moment's hesitation, he sent a powerful surge of energy pummeling Leon's way, intending to destroy Leon while his defenses were low!"He's right. So what if he's attained the Saint State? He can't even control his powers properly," the rest of the Chanters all agreed, and felt rather relieved by this. The glimmer of hope that ignited briefly within Pierre, Zach, and the rest was immediately doused after hearing the Chanters' words. Wulf

    "Hahaha! This ends here—once and for all!" Wulfric broke out into a manic cackle of laughter upon seeing Pierre's defeat. The defeat of Pierre, Zach, and his two lackeys had no doubt instilled a newfound triumph in him, for the four of them combined were his greatest opponents thus far, and now that he rendered them powerless, there was no longer anyone in his way!Not even Leon, Percival, Alastair, or the rest of their comrades could defeat him! He and the Chanters would go on, unstopped, to dominate the world!One could only imagine his ecstasy at finally fulfilling his dream at long last!"All hail Master Chanter!""All hail Master Chanter!""All hail Master Chanter!" Aiken and the rest of the Chanters erupted into thunderous applause and cheers of sheer elation. "Oh no!""We can't possibly stand a chance!" Percival, Alastair, and the rest on the good side felt their hearts sink at the thought of their impending doom. Although they outnumbered the Chanters by a significant m

    Gulp!Taking advantage of the moment, Leon decisively took out a Holy Spirit Pill and swallowed it. Initially, he intended to use an Essential Detox Pill to help Pierre, Zach, and the other two Semi-Saint State fighters counteract the poison. However, with Pierre injured by Wulfric and Zach along with the other two severely wounded and out of combat, even if he cured them, their side was still doomed to defeat.In this desperate situation, he could only take a gamble. He hoped that, with the breakthrough signs he felt in his martial arts bottleneck, the Holy Spirit Pill would help him break through the sage arts barrier or raise his power level to the Great Crossing Phase. This might be their only chance at victory."Mister Wolf, as long as there's life, there's hope. I'll try my best to hold off Wulfric. You must escape now and find a way to avenge us later."Pierre, enduring his injuries and the poison, stood up with a determined look on his face. He knew that their side was alre

    "You're courting death!"Wulfric, enraged by Leon's fierce attack and the slaying of Central Boss, had no choice but to halt his assault on Pierre and the other three momentarily. He turned and unleashed a powerful palm strike, its overwhelming force aimed squarely at Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist.Boom!The collision between Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist and Wulfric's attack was explosive. In an instant, Wulfric's strike shattered Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist, and its residual force hurtled toward Leon."Not good!"Leon’s expression changed drastically as he rapidly tried to evade. However, with Wulfric's Saint State power level, evading was futile. No matter where he ran, he was unable to get out of the attack range. The residual force of Wulfric's true energy struck Leon, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.Cough! Cough!As Leon hit the ground, a wave of intense pain surged through his chest, causing him to cough up two mouthfuls of blood. It was clear he suffered significa

    Whoosh!Compared to Percival and Alastair's heavy hearts, Leon remained relatively calm. In the past, he killed Poisonwielder and specifically crafted a potent antidote, the Essential Detox Pill, to counteract Reaper's Breath.He happened to have a few dozen of these pills on him. Though Pierre and the others were poisoned by Reaper's Breath, as long as Leon could get the antidote to them in time, they still stood a chance to win.With this in mind, Leon did not waste any time. He stopped fighting with Central Boss, leaped up, and quickly rushed toward Pierre and the others to deliver the antidote."Leon, are you planning to run away? Well, do you think it's going to be that easy?" Central Boss misunderstood Leon's actions, thinking he intended to escape. Given how much he hated Leon, he was not going to let Leon get away so easily.Without a second thought, Central Boss dashed forward, resolutely blocking Leon once again. With Wulfric having reversed the situation and forcing Pie

    "Pierre, you have pushed me to this! Since that's the case, don't blame me for what I'm going to do next! You all can go to hell!" Wulfric's expression turned grim when he saw the Chanter fighters in a dire and dangerous situation. He knew he had to end this battle quickly to avoid significant casualties among the Chanter descendants.Thus, he decided not to hold back. He waved his two hands, releasing two clouds of white mist that surged forward, engulfing Pierre, Zach, and the other two. The white mist transformed into a flurry of powder, like a shower of flowers, enveloping the four of them."What's this?""This is bad, it's poison!"Realizing the unusual nature of the white powder, Pierre and Zach were alarmed.Immediately, the four of them held their breath and swiftly retreated, trying to escape the range of the white mist and powder. Unfortunately, it was too late! The white powder and mist seeped everywhere, and being too close to Wulfric, they already inhaled a signific

    "How dare a loser like you be so arrogant? I'll teach you to be humble!"Leon sneered contemptuously. Central Boss clashed with him twice before, each time ending with Central Boss being injured and fleeing. Thus, Leon did not take his attack seriously at all.Without hesitation, he pointed a finger and unleashed the Advanced Earth Class sage technique, Earthly Plunder. Sharp and fierce energy condensed at his fingertip, roaring as it met Central Boss's attack head-on!Bang!Leon's Earthly Plunder clashed solidly with Central Boss's Soul-Piercing Claw in a violent collision. However, unlike previous encounters, this time Leon's technique did not break through Central Boss's attack; instead, it was shattered by it!Not only that! The Dragon Pill he recently took did not fully manifest itself yet, so not only did Central Boss's Soul-Piercing Claw shatter Leon's Earthly Plunder but also sent him staggering back.Leon struggled to regain his footing, retreating three or four steps be
