All of them started to look at Leon in complete and utter shock!The necklace that Ashwin produced was enough to widen their horizons. Yet, compared to Leon's Blue Heart of the Sea, Ashwin's diamond necklace seemed incredibly insignificant!Suddenly, Leon stole the show. He turned into the center of attention, completely shocking everyone!Ashwin and his diamond necklace turned into an accompaniment!"Despicable!" Ashwin clenched his fists tightly as his face darkened scarily.He regarded Leon as completely insignificant the whole time, and even played along with Michael to insult Leon!He never would have dreamed that the useless man was able to launch such a complete counterattack. Not only did Leon ruin his carefully prepared surprise for Iris, he even trampled all over Ashwin.The rage in his heart was evident!"Leon, this present is too valuable, I can't accept it…"Iris looked at the Blue Heart of the Sea, and felt incredibly conflicted.Since she was quite close to L
Ashwin's pleased smile completely froze on his face. He looked like he just had cold water poured over him. The sliver of hope in his heart was completely extinguished in a flash!"Alright, let's start the banquet," With Iris's instructions, everyone returned to their seats. The atmosphere quickly got rowdy again.It was Iris's birthday. Taking advantage of the joyous occasion, quite a few executives and employees came over to offer her a toast and some congratulations to leave an impression on Iris.Initially, Iris wanted to toast with tea instead of wine, but she could not hold back from what everyone else wanted. She was in a good mood, so she decided to sip on some wine instead.However, there were just too many people offering her a toast. After a few rounds, even though the wine was not that heavy, her face started to turn red. He started to get a bit tipsy.Other than Iris, Leon was not able to avoid it either.He just pushed Ashwin down and shocked the whole place. He lef
Leon helped Iris into her room.It was the first time he entered Iris's room. The design of the place was quite casual and relaxed. There were quite a few cute dolls on the bed and shelves.The room was incredibly clean and tidy, and even the air seemed to emit a unique fragrance.Leon carefully helped Iris onto the bed.The wine hit quite slowly. On the way back, Iris seemed to have gotten more drunk.At that moment, her eyes were red and her gaze looked distant. She looked completely different from her usual cold and proud demeanor. She looked like a different person but still had an incredible allure to her.How beautiful!Iris looked even more stunning when she was drunk!Leon's heart was beating rapidly as he stared at Iris's flawless face, feeling a bit stunned."I'm thirsty, I want water…" Iris mumbled to herself."I'll go get you some water," Leon seemed to have snapped out of his stupor as he hurriedly poured some water for her.After that, he helped Iris up and put
Leon gave himself a hard slap on the face.Even though he wanted to be more daring and not admit defeat to fate, he should at least pursue Iris the right way to win her affection.Yet, he took advantage of Iris's drunk state. If he did anything that crossed the line, it would be disrespectful to Iris! It would also be a deep insult to Iris! If Iris woke up, he might lose Iris forever!That was something he could not accept!"Iris, I'm sorry," Leon had a face full of regret as he tried to pull his hand away.However, Iris tightly hugged his arm, refusing to let go."Leon, don't go…""I'm very happy today. Can't you stay with me for a bit longer?" Iris looked at Leon with her beautiful eyes. She was quite lonely the past few years and was very happy that day. She was still immersed in the atmosphere of the celebration, not realizing that she was already home."F-fine then," Leon let out a wry smile. He could not bear to reject Iris and was forced to pull a chair as he sat nex
Iris shook her head."Alright then, I'll leave for now."Leon just asked casually. After that, he turned around and fled.After leaving the villa, Leon arrived at the mountain top behind. Ever since he set up the Energy Convergence Circle, he only needed to train for two to three hours every day with its help.He would sleep every night and wake up at about four or five in the morning to train in the mountain. His sleep and training schedule perfectly lined up with each other!At the heart of the circle, Leon sat down cross-legged before he took out the clear pendant, activating the circle.He trained for about over an hour.The circle's spiritual energy started to get active as it condensed into a vortex, frantically shooting into Leon's body.After a long time, Leon's body jolted as he opened his eyes abruptly. There was a glint in his eyes."I've finally broken through!" Leon was elated as he smiled happily. After bitterly training for a few days, he finally broke throu
"Something's wrong somewhere!!" Ashwin said coldly."We've all seen what happened. Everyone witnessed what happened at the celebratory banquet last night, so what's the problem?" Michael was very confused."What you see might not be the truth!""I'm starting to suspect if Ariel is purposely trying to pull something!" Ashwin said with narrowed eyes."What does this have to do with Ariel?" Michael was uncertain."Of course it does! Just think about it. Ariel is Leon's girlfriend. Isn't it normal for her to protect him?! Her words can't be trusted!" Ashwin said firmly."You mean that imperial green necklace is fake? Did Ariel make that story up?" Michael slowly understood what Ashwin meant."The necklace might not be fake!""With Master Summers's reputation, Ariel wouldn't dare joke around with her grandfather's name. I think that the necklace was probably crafted by Master Summers! However, we can't know for sure if the materials are the rare imperial green or some other cheap ma
Ashwin's eyes had a sharp glint in them. After the celebratory banquet the night before, he could tell that Iris intended to train Leon.Furthermore, Leon managed to gain Iris's favor the night before. His future was incredibly bright!If Leon managed to grow more, then his position might be threatened. Leon might even end up replacing him!He would not let that happen!He needed to kill Leon off before Leon had the time to grow!He had to stop any future problems."Mister Mercer, I've already been trying to kick Leon out of the company, but he has Ariel helping him. He won't be easy to deal with. Do you have any good idea?" Michael almost lost his position himself after losing the bet the last time. He was wary of Leon and was forced to pin his hopes on Ashwin."I have an idea! Leon managed to obtain the cooperation of the Wick Group for the company. Miss Young regards him very highly and wants to put him responsible for the later parts of the cooperation. In the future, he w
After a long time, Leon finally looked through the information and put down the document in his hand."Ariel, I've already looked through the information. Let's go have a look at the factory.""Yes, alright," Ariel nodded, and the two of them left the office together.When they were out of the office, they got the parking lots.Ariel opened the door of her BMW, and was about to get in the car when she looked back. She quickly noticed that Leon merely stood on the spot like a wooden puppet, not looking like he planned on getting in."Leon, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and get in," Ariel urged in confusion."It's fine, I'll go there on my motorcycle!" Leon pointed at his bike."It's not the peak hour right now. Driving will be convenient. Why do you want to use your bike?" Ariel was confused."What do you think? I just don't want to get left behind on the way again!" Leon glared at Ariel."You…" Ariel's face suddenly reddened as she recalled out she kicked Leon out
