"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
In the next instant, Gordon did not hesitate and tossed his car key into the air toward Snow, who reached out to catch it."Snow, hand the weapons over!" He sneered before launching an attack at Snow's wrist."Wh- How despicable!" Snow did not expect Gordon to attack and aimed the box at him once again, trying to shoot the daggers in his direction. However, her power was sealed and she was one step too late.Before she could release the daggers, a sharp pain pierced through her wrist, and the box in her hand was sent flying to the distance by Gordon's true energy.He then swiftly grabbed the box from the ground."It's over," Snow's heart sank.Contrary to her despair, Gordon burst out laughing. "Snow, your daggers are with me now! Let's see what else you can do!" He said, before putting the box away smugly."Gordon, wh- what is the meaning of this?" Snow questioned sharply."It's simple. I said so earlier. I'll make you mine today!" Gordon sneered and stepped toward Snow."Bas
"Forget it! I might as well tell you the truth, but all those recipes are kept in Leon's brain and no one else knows anything about them! Don't waste your time!" Snow said coldly."You don't know anything? That’s not possible. I don't believe you!" Gordon shook his head.He knew how close Snow and Leon were, so even if Snow did not know all the recipes, she should know at least half of them."Believe what you want to! Besides, I'd never tell you anything even if I do know those recipes!" Snow sneered."Why would you do this to yourself, Snow? If you refuse to corporate, you can't blame me for what I'm about to do!" His expression darkened as he approached Snow."What are you doing? Don't come any closer," She paled and backed away until her back was pressed against the wall."Let's not waste any time! You never let me touch you when we used to date! This is the perfect chance for me to do what I've always wanted! Once you are mine, I'm sure you will tell me everything you know!"
"Bast*rd, what do you think you are doing?!" Darius was livid when he saw that Gordon was about to grab Snow and instantly released his energy at Gordon."Baam!"Gordon was not given the chance to react and was sent flying, before spewing blood from his mouth when he landed on the ground.Since Darius only meant to stop him from assaulting Snow, he did not attack in full force, or Gordon would have suffered more than a little injury.Darius ignored Gordon and strode over to Snow worriedly. "Miss Poole, are you alright? Has he injured you in any way?""I'm fine, but why are you here, Mister Hughes?" Snow asked in confusion."Well, Mister Wolf asked for my help to rescue you," Darius explained.Though this was Gordon's personal property, Darius knew a lot about Gordon as his brother-in-law.As soon as he received the call from Leon, he immediately sent his men to look into Gordon's location and found out shortly after that Gordon brought Snow to his mansion. Hence, Darius immedia
"Darius, just let me explain," Gordon was upset that he was not given the chance to explain himself."There's nothing to explain! I'll only say this one last time. Get your arse over here and break your arm to apologize to Miss Poole!" Darius roared in fury.Gordon tempered with Elegante Group's cosmetic products a few days ago, and Darius was forced to negotiate with Leon in the hope of protecting Gordon. In the end, Leon decided to spare Gordon out of respect for Darius and the Hughes Group.Not only did Gordon not learn his lesson, but his action also escalated and he went as far as to kidnapping Snow.Darius knew that he could not protect Gordon the second time and if he handed Gordon over to Leon, Leon would destroy Gordon.Despite what Gordon did, he was still Darius' brother-in-law, so that was the last thing Darius wish to see. Hence, he insisted that Gordon break his arm to apologize so that Snow would forgive him before Leon hurried over.Since Snow was not injured, Leo
"I-"Gordon had no way of avoiding Darius's incredible attack.It was an incredibly tense moment, and either from his hatred toward Darius or as an instinct in the face of danger, Gordon suddenly took out Snow's box and used it to attack Darius!Swoosh!With the press of a button, a poisoned arrow shot out.Darius was completely defenseless, and the two of them were too close, to begin with. He felt a sudden pain in his hand, and he stopped his attack right away."What is this?" Darius hissed in pain. After that, he pulled back and saw a blue needle in his palm.The color of the needle was a bit strange."You dared to attack me like this?!" Darius was furious at that point!He did not know that the needle was a poisoned needle made of Deadly Veratrum Poison by Leon. He mistakenly assumed that it was just a regular needle.So, he did not care at all, and he summoned up the true energy in his hand, pushing out the needle.Right after that, he continued to attack Gordon!Yet
