"We're here! Let's go in!" While Leon was deep in thought, the group traveled past the yard and arrived at the main hall. The hall was crowded with guests who dressed their best, engaging in heated conversations. Most of the guests were the younger elites from the western region, including heirs and heiresses. Though the items to be sold included rare herbs that could help with martial artists' training, martial artists in the first and second generations were all too powerful for these herbs to be of any use. Hence, Jaxon only invited younger individuals to participate instead of people from the first and second generations. Without exclusive spiritual herbs, this bouquet would be considered an ordinary gathering for youngsters, who had a lot of common topics. "Quiet down, everyone! The beauty of the western region, Miss Renee Morrison, has arrived!" ... Just then, Renee and the others arrived and her looks instantly drew everyone's attention. Someone shouted and a
"Oh, Mister Feaks, allow me to introduce my friend, Hugh Wolf. Hugh, this is Mister Jaxon Feaks," Renee briefly introduced the two. "Mister Wolf, nice to meet you. I'm sorry for asking this, but I don't think I've heard of your name in the past. May I know which family you come from?" Jaxon asked. The western region was vast and he could not possibly know the names of all families. Hence, it seemed normal for him not to know Leon and he did not think too much of it. Since Leon was Renee's friend, he assumed that Leon was someone whose status rivaled Renee's, which meant he would be far more powerful than Jaxon himself. Hence, he asked about Leon's background to create a bond in the hope of benefiting his own family. "I'm not from the western region. I'm the vice president of Cynthion Group from the southern region," Leon said, an idea crossing his mind. He came to the western region to establish a branch here in the western region. All the guests here in this bouquet were of
"Joshua, what are you talking about? I told you that Hugh isn't my boyfriend!" Renee said. "I'm telling the truth. You confirmed it by not denying it just now in the hotel, right? Besides, it's normal for women your age to date, so you don't have to hide it," Joshua said righteously and sneered inwardly. Ever since he found out that Leon was Renee's boyfriend, his jealousy and contempt toward Leon grew. However, Renee protected Leon and he dared not to cross the line. However, he felt increasingly jealous, thinking that Leon did not deserve a beauty like Renee. At that moment, his chance came. He exposed Renee's relationship with Leon on purpose, making it look like he was standing up for Leon when he was trying to set Leon up. Given Renee's status and her breathtaking beauty, everyone would target Leon once they found out that he was Renee's boyfriend. Once people started targeting them, Renee and Leon might break up under pressure. That way, he would feel slightly better.
"Brat, how dare you?" "You're just a vice president of some company. You aren't even worthy enough to be Miss Morrison's servant. What makes you think you deserve to be her boyfriend?" "That's right. If you know what's best for yourself, you should leave her now, or you'll suffer!" ... The others snapped out of it and exploded with anger. They all turned to Loen in rage, desperate to take him away. If glares could kill, Leon would have died a million times by now. "But," Renee's expression darkened. She desperately wanted to explain herself, but could not find her words. In contrast to her reaction, Leon was far calmer. Because of his relationship with Iris and the others, he was constantly the enemy of all eligible bachelors back in Springfield City, so he was used to this situation. Besides, Renee was not his girlfriend and this was merely a misunderstanding. He opened his mouth to explain the situation to everyone when something else happened. "Everyone's rig
Felton was pleased that everyone made way for him and strode forward with two of his bodyguards. "I told you to scram. Are you deaf?" He approached and stared at Leon in contempt. He arrived just in time to overhear the conversation earlier and learned that Leon was Renee's boyfriend. On top of that, he also learned that Leon was merely a puny vice president from the southern region. As the son of the Western Boss, Leon was just as powerless as an insect and he had no respect for him. "Who do you think you are? Who are you to tell me to scram?" Leon's expression darkened and he shot Felton a displeased look. He initially intended to clarify that he was not Renee's boyfriend, yet Felton appeared out of nowhere and told him to leave arrogantly. This enraged Leon and he decided not to explain himself. With his current status and strength, no one in the youngest generation could harm him. "What?" The crowd gasped in shock and everyone stared at Leon in disbelief. They all
"Very well. You're quite daring, kid! Since you have a death wish, I'll help you out with that! Someone come and break his legs, then feed him to the hounds!" Felton laughed angrily and barked a command at two of his bodyguards. "Yes!" The two guards responded and charged at Leon. "Know your places!" Leon scoffed and was about to counter their attack when Renee beat him to it. "Don't you dare!" Renee's expression darkened and she stepped forward to stand before Leon without hesitation, opening her arms to shield him. The bodyguards were startled. They both knew that they could not afford to offend Renee and had to give up on attacking Leon. The two instantly halted their movements and avoided harming Renee by accident. "Renne, are you sure you want to oppose me for this guy's sake?" Felton's expression darkened and his sharp gaze fell on her. "So what if I do? Hugh is the Morrisons' guest, Felton! If you want to bully him, you must get through me!" Renee said coldly with
"What do you mean it's none of my business? Renee Morrison, you should know that I'm the only one in the western region who deserves you! You're the woman I want and you can only belong to me! Anyone who dares to get in the way will die painfully!" Felton said viciously. Though Renee rejected him many times before, he decided to make her his and would not allow anyone else to obtain her. However, a man as incapable and ordinary as Leon captured her heart and became her boyfriend. Instantly, he was filled with rage and jealousy to the point that he itched to kill Leon. "Why you! Nonsense! Who are you calling your woman? That's enough!" Renee shouted in frustration and helplessness, her face red. Felton's status rivalled with hers and his strength as a martial artist was not something she could match with. Felton might not dare to do anything to her out of concern for the Morrisons' wraith, but she could not do anything to him either. "It's not nonsense! Anyway, get out of th
"Brat, you must have a death wish!" Felton was utterly enraged by Leon's arrogance. Unable to suppress his anger, he reached his arm out and darted toward Leon, intending to destroy him to appease his anger. Renee was still standing in front of Leon at the moment. The Morrisons backed her and he wanted her for himself, so he could not harm her. Hence, he intended to capture Renee first. Without Renee's protection, an ordinary man like Leon would be his to do as he pleased. However, before he could act, he was stopped. "Stop! Mister Fermer, we're all invited here by Mister Feaks to attend this bouquet, not to watch you show off! If you're upset with Miss Morrison's boyfriend, you can settle your scores privately, but please don't ruin this bouquet." Just then, someone scoffed and a man in his thirties stepped forward from the crowd to stop Felton. "Mister Daglesh, what's the meaning of this? Do you intend to protect this lowly man?" Felton's expression darkened as he rec
