"I know! Don't worry. Leon might be able to run this time, but he can't run forever. This isn't the end of it. The Golans aren't done with him yet! He has the support of the Thompsons, though, so it's not going to be easy to get rid of him! We might need the Hiltons' help on this!" Eliam said with a malicious look in his eyes.Not only did Leon barge into the Golans Mansion, but he also injured numerous members of the family and destroyed Seth's power.Even if Leon managed to escape, Eliam had no intention of stopping."Let's go to the Hiltons Mansion now, then! Joel was the one who told me to go after Leon. Now that Leon destroyed my power, the Hiltons won't stand idly by!" Seth gritted out."Very good! As long as the Hiltons are willing to get involved, Leon's fate will be decided!" Eliam said.Though Leon was close with the Thompsons, he was not a member of the family and they could not protect Leon for his entire life.With the Hiltons' help to hinder the Thompsons, the Golan
"Seth, what's going on? Why are you so badly injured?!" Joel was stunned by the sight before him."Cousin, Leon broke my legs and destroyed my power. You have to make this right for me," Seth cried in agony as he explained the situation."What?!" Joel was utterly shocked.He thought that his plan for Seth to capture Iris was perfect and did not expect Leon to track Iris down so soon after she was captured.He knew that Leon was in the Peak Overlord State at best, whereas there were countless powerful martial artists among the Golans, with a few who reached the Semi-Almighty State.With such force, it would be easy to crush Leon.However, Leon managed to rescue Iris and destroy Seth's power under the eyes of all the martial artists in the Golans.It was so surreal that he could not begin to fantom how it happened."Apart from the defensive tool, Leon has another Almighty Weapon," Seth explained when he saw the confusion on Joel's face."I see! I didn't even expect him to own ot
"Alright! I'll call my dad now and ask him to summon all the martial artists in our family. We'll hunt Leon down and even with the Thompsons on his side, he'll die screaming!" Joel narrowed his eyes maliciously.Though the Thompsons were the head of all families in the southern region, the Hiltons were comparable to them in terms of influence and wealth.Joel was only forced to compromise with Yuri because he was the one at fault for what happened to the Elegante Group.However, the circumstances changed.Leon went too far to break Seth's legs and destroy his power, so the Hiltons had a proper excuse to seek justice for Seth.If Yuri and Roanne insisted on getting in their way, they would only find themselves stuck in a difficult position.Joel fully intended on using this as an excuse to rain all forces down on Leon and eliminate him once and for all."By the way, Leon's on his way to rescue Snow, Joel! Should we call Gordon and warn him about it?" Seth asked thoughtfully."Th
In a luxurious mansion not far from the Hughes Mansion.Gordon purchased a mansion in this area a few years ago for his convenience.He was only an in-law and not a direct descendent of the Hughes, and though he stayed in the Hughes Mansion with his wife, his actions were retrained in certain ways, so he bought the mansion for him to entertain his friends without the supervision of the Hughes.Just then, he drove his car into the yard and opened the door, before dragging Snow out of the car.He did not whisper a word to Darius or Hughes that he was working with Seth and Joel to kidnap Snow.Since Darius and Yuri were close, and the Hughes Group was currently partnering with the Elegante Group, it was not an option for him to take Snow to the Hughes Mansion.Hence, he brought her to his private mansion instead to prevent Darius from noticing what happened....Meanwhile, in a room inside a mansion.Gordon brought Snow into a bedroom and locked the door behind him, before lettin
"Snow, don't worry. I'll let you go soon, but there are just things that I need to get out of my chest before that," Gordon said."What?" Snow relaxed slightly after learning that Gordon intended to let her go."I want to apologize to you, Snow. I was wrong for hurting you. I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me," Gordon said and bowed at Snow sincerely."It's in the past! There's nothing to forgive and I don't need your apology!" Snow said coldly. Still, she felt slightly better than Gordon admitted to his mistakes and apologized for them."I know that you're still mad at me, Snow, but I did what I did for a reason. The Baileys went into bankruptcy and I had no choice but to leave you and marry into the Hughes to help my family. That was never what I want. I've always loved you," Gordon said passionately."So what? What's the point of bringing that up right now?" Snow scoffed."Of course, there's a point! Snow, seeing you again after all these years has made me realize how importa
"I-" Snow wavered.However, Leon's face and his towering figure appeared in her mind and she immediately recovered.She used to date Gordon and she loved him for a time. If he apologized to her some time ago, she might have forgiven him.However, she already recovered from the heartbreak after spending time with Leon, Iris, and the others, and she learned her lessons.After all the hardship she went through to get over the pain Gordon caused, she was not about to repeat the same mistake."Gordon, if you feel guilty about what you did, let me go right now and we'll call it even! However, there's no way that we'll ever get back together!" Snow said with determination.Though she knew better than to take Gordon back, Gordon's lies were so convincing that she thought he truly saw the fault in his past actions. Hence, her tone eased as she tried to convince Gordon to let her go."Why won't you get back together with me?" Gordon was extremely disappointed as he thought that Snow still
"Gordon, what are you talking about? Are you going to break your promise?" Snow paled as she realized that she placed far too much trust in Gordon."I'm not trying to break my promise! Snow, you should know that I truly love you. I can't survive without you!" Gordon argued as he stepped toward Snow."W- What do you want?" Snow's expression darkened and she backed away as an ominous feeling took over her."It's simple. I'll never let you leave me to be with Leon! I'm going to make you mine today, one way or another!" He sneered and narrowed his eyes viciously.Since his words were not sufficient to change Snow's mind, he decided to take her by force.He knew that Snow was a conservative woman who valued her chastity.If he could deflower Snow, he might be able to persuade her into getting back together with him, making it much easier to obtain the secret recipes of purified water and alchemical pills from Snow."What?! You! You wouldn't dare! I'm warning you, Gordon, don't come a
"I was so close," Snow's heart sank when she noticed that Gordon was only slightly injured.Though Leon gave her two Potential Energy Forces, Gordon was a formidable martial artist and she knew that using the other force on him would not be efficient.'That's right! Leon gave me something else!' Snow recalled something and retrieved a box from her pocket that contained two poisonous daggers inside.Since Gordon was injured and defenseless at the moment, she could shoot the daggers out and he would likely be killed.Just as she was about to act, she hesitated.Gordon used to be her lover and he seemed to truly regret his mistakes in the past, so death did not seem to be a just punishment.As a woman, she tended to be more understanding and sentimental, so she found it hard to kill Gordon.Taking advantage of her hesitation, Gordon got up from the ground and backed away to keep a distance from her."W- What's in your hand?" He noticed that Snow was pointing a box at him and an om
