"Um," Gordon fell silent upon hearing. As tempted as he was by the prospects of this, one thing to consider was that Cynthion Group was related to the Thompsons, and his brother-in-law, Darius, was close to Yuri! If Gordon were to betray Darius and join forces with Joel against the Cynthion Group, Darius would not be pleased about this and would surely punish him if he found out! Besides, Snow was his ex-girlfriend, and his conscience could not allow him to harm her! However, now that Joel decided to target Iris and Snow, he knew that Snow would suffer an even worse fate if she were to fall into Joel and Seth's hands! Because of this, he had a lot to think about and did not know what was the right choice! "Vice President Bailey, I know why you're hesitating. Don't worry, Cynthion Group belongs to Leon, not Yuri, and even if Darius were to find out about all this, he could not possibly do much harm to you over an outsider like Leon!" Joel could tell that Gordon was hesitating
In the following days, Sebastian fulfilled his promise to Yuri and ordered Joel to apologize to Leon and the Elegante Group, before making compensation for the damage he caused.The truth of the scandal concerning Elegante Group finally came out and Leon was able to offer the customers a satisfying answer to their questions.Hiltons Corporation suffered great damage to its reputation and lost a lot of customers as a result; Elegante Group, on the other hand, gained a reputation for itself and obtained the support of the majority of the market.With that, Elegante Group began to grow rapidly into a large-scale cosmetic firm in the southern region.Meanwhile, Leon completed the production of alchemical pills and slowly shifted his focus onto Cynthion Group as he prepared for the second sales drive.Since Yuri and the Thompsons got involved and Joel made a public apology, everything seemed as peaceful as ever and Leon let his guard down, thinking that the Hiltons gave up.What he wa
At the same time, the doors to the car behind opened as well.Gordon wore the same mask and led his men out of the car.The two groups instantly surrounded Iris's car."Damn it! These people are after us!" Iris paled as she realized that this was a planned kidnap."Iris, call Leon right now!" Snow urged.Both Iris and Snow immediately took out their phones to call Leon for help, and Iris was the first to reach Leon.As soon as the call was answered, Seth and Gordon arrived by car and Seth slammed his fist against the car window."Baam!"The window shattered under the impact, sending pieces of glass flying.Snow and Iris gasped in shock and immediately fired up their true power to shield themselves from the shattered glass.Seth then reached inside and opened the car door by force."Who are you people? What do you want?" Iris snapped out of it and roared."What do you think? Isn't this obvious? Miss Young, you have one chance. Get out of the car on your own, or we drag you o
"Gordon, don't bother hiding your face! I already know it's you!" Snow roared darkly.Leon fought Gordon in Hughes Group before and she was made aware that Gordon was in the Intermediate Overlord State at the time.The masked man before her matched what she knew about Gordon in terms of figure, mannerisms, and power level.On top of that, Snow and Leon had their doubts in the past that Gordon was likely responsible for swapping Elegante Group's cosmetic products, so it was not hard for Snow to conclude that the masked man was Gordon.However, she never expected a man she used to date to be so ruthless toward her and was taken aback by it."How do you know it's me?!" Gordon's expression darkened as he did not expect Snow to guess who he was so soon."If you don't want to be recognized, you shouldn't be doing this, to begin with! If I'm not mistaken, that Seth Golan over there, right?" Snow scoffed.She was aware that Seth had one of his legs broken by Leon a few days ago, and sin
In Cynthion Group, office hours ended.Leon, Cynthia, and Ruth were about to go home.When Leon received a call from Iris, his expression darkened at the sound of people shouting."Leon, what's wrong?"Cynthia and Ruth were both confused by the dark look on his face."Cynthia, Iris, and Snow might be in danger! I'm going to find them right now! You should go home with Ruth! Be safe," Leon said. Not daring to wait another moment, Leon immediately hurried toward the spot where his car was parked.He jumped into his car and drove off to the distance swiftly."What!"Cynthia and Ruth soon realized that something went wrong."Cynthia, will Iris and Snow be okay?" Ruth asked worriedly."I don't know, but Leon's a resourceful man. He's always been able to turn things around. I'm sure Iris and Snow are going to be alright," Cynthia consoled her.Despite what she said, her heart was heavy with concern."What do we do now? Are we supposed to just go home? I'm so worried!" Ruth said h
Right! The Soul Searcher!" Leon took a deep breath to calm himself, before rubbing a specific ointment under his nose.He instantly caught the trails for the Soul Searcher, but was shocked to find that two trails led to a different direction as Iris and Snow were taken by Seth and Gordon separately."W- What is this? Why are there two trails? Were Iris and Snow taken by two different groups of people?" Leon was stunned.Though he realized that this was likely the work of two different groups of people, he was alone, and as talented as he was, he could never rescue both Iris and Snow from danger at the same time.On top of that, he could not distinguish which trail belonged to Iris and which belonged to Snow; even if it was possible to distinguish the trails, he could never decide who to save first."Damn it!" Leon clenched his fists as his expression darkened.There was no time to waste as any delay could lead to danger for Iris and Snow.He randomly chose the trail on his left
"Miss Young, let's just cut to the chase! I invited you here for two things! I want the secret recipe for the purified water and the recipes for the alchemical pills sold by Cynthion Group! If you cooperate and hand me the recipes, I'll set you free unscathed!" Seth said as he took a seat by a table inside the room."You want the confidential recipes of Elegante Group and Cynthion Group? Dream on!" Iris scoffed as she realized Seth's true intention."Miss Young, you ought to know what's best for you! I'm warning you! Hand the recipes over and save yourself some suffering, or I don't show any mercy!" Seth narrowed his eyes and threatened."It's not happening! I don'knowof those recipes, but even if I do, I'll never tell you anything! Just give up!" Iris snorted with a contemptuous expression.She was telling the truth.The spiritual dew of Elegante Group and the alchemical pills sold by Cynthion Group were all produced by Leon, so there were never any recipes and it would be imposs
"Y- You wouldn’t dare!" Iris paled and roared, "Seth, I'm warning you! If you dare to lay your hands on me, Leon will skin you alive!""Leon? Don't even bring that little bast*rd up! He injured me back in the Black Market and broke my leg the last time I was in Elegante Group. He is my enemy and if there's a chance, I'll make sure he dies screaming!" Seth said ferociously.Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and an excited look appeared on his face. "Iris, if I'm not mistaken, Leon's your boyfriend, right?""So what if I am? How's that your business?" Iris said warily and did not see the need in denying the fact that Leon was her boyfriend."Wonderful! Leon has the Thompsons backing him up, so there's nothing much I can do with him at the moment, but I can toy with his woman and humiliate him! When he finds out about this, he is going to wish that he's dead!" Seth burst out laughing.After all that happened between Seth and Leon, Seth developed a deep resentment towar
