"Friends? You're right, we're both friends!" Cynthia was stunned at first, but she smiled after that. Her smile was incredibly radiant and alluring.It was lonely at the top.Since the Shears had wealth and power, and Cynthia grew up as their treasured daughter with unrivaled looks, she never lacked people pursuing her, but she did not have many true friends. Even her friends were mostly aiming for the Shears' wealth.However, Leon was different. Leon's medical skills were amazing, and Leon cured her grandmother without asking for anything in return.Not only that, Leon put his life on the line to save her just now, not even willing to leave her behind to escape when he knew he could not win. He was an excellent character.She immediately accepted Leon as a friend!After that, she called her grandfather and told him about her being attacked.Benedict was furious when he heard that, and immediately sent a few of their family's experts over.They were both there to look at the
Gordon and his men had fearful looks on their faces as they hurriedly reported everything that happened."Who's that guy? Could it be one of the Shears' bodyguards?!" The man said coldly. He had a very vicious aura around him. It was completely different from how he acted earlier."That… I don't know…" Gordon said anxiously."What's his level at? Is he in the intermediate Innate State, or the advanced Innate State? Someone young who's as strong as he is shouldn't be anyone unknown!" The young man asked.He knew that Gordon was in the intermediate Innate State, and Gordon even had four subordinates who were in the advanced Acquired State.If their opponent was not at the intermediate Innate State or above, there was no way he could have defeated Gordon and his men."He's not, he's only at the initial Innate State, and is just a little away from intermediate," Gordon answered truthfully."What? The initial Innate State?!" The man was furious. He raised his hand and punched Gordon.
Leon was shocked to feel that the spiritual energy at the peak of the mountain was already almost completely drained.Thankfully, he did not need to train on Mistcloud Mountain, so it was fine even if the spiritual energy was drained.Furthermore, spiritual energy was not something that would not come back. In less than three months, the spiritual energy on the peak of Mistcloud Mountain would recover. Not using it was just a waste!After gathering the morning dew, Leon started to leave the mountain.Now that he dealt with the procurement of materials and the dew, the problems with production would be resolved as well.The most important part of those products were the dew.Leon planned on naming the morning dew spirit dew. He would be the sole person capable of producing them, just like how many food products had exclusive suppliers.That way, as long as he controlled the spirit dew, no other cosmetic companies would be able to try and mimic their products. That would ensure
If Ashwin found out that he overstepped and interfered with procurement as well, Ashwin would be furious!"What exactly do you want to say? Why are you being so hesitant?!" Iris looked at Leon strangely, not understanding what Leon tried to do."I wanted to say that the Shear Group is the biggest provider of herbal medicines in Springfield City. We should look to work with them. There's no need to work with Life Pharmacy…" Leon mustered up the courage to say.Even though he did not like Ashwin that much, he still felt bad that he kept on overstepping and taking away Ashwin's responsibilities.If Ashwin agreed to work with the Shear Group, he could just give Ashwin the contract he signed last night. Then, the contributions would be Ashwin's.Then, he would not have overstepped, and he would be able to give Cynthia an explanation."You sure are putting things lightly! Even though working with the Shear Group is the best choice, we're a cosmetic company, not a medical or pharmaceuti
"I can definitely show you the agreement, but we'll have to make a bet first!" Leon said calmly."What bet?" Ashwin asked."You don't believe I have an agreement with the Shear Group, right? If I manage to produce an agreement, then don't bite me!" Leon knew that he overstepped his responsibilities, so he preemptively shielded himself from Ashwin. He did not want Ashwin to get angry and bite him in the back."Why would I bite you for no reason?! You're crazy!" Ashwin's expression was incredibly sour. He thought that Leon tried to mock him."Alright, you said it yourself. Don't go back on your words!" Leon was elated. Ashwin fell right for it.Ashwin waved it off, not wanting to bother wasting time with Leon. He said, "What if you can't produce the agreement?""Then you can do whatever you want!" Leon said firmly."Alright, it's a deal!" Ashwin was incredibly happy, looking like he already won. His smile was incredibly wide."Leon, did you get the contract or not? Stop stalling
After listening to what happened, Iris was already sure that the Blue Star of the Sea was genuine!Most importantly, the Blue Star of the Sea was something incredibly valuable. Leon was not someone with that much money or power, but was willing to give something so amazing to her.Her heart was always like a cold lake, but the lake suddenly had a few ripples on it."It's not just being lucky, it's absolutely crazy!" Ashwin's face soured.He wondered what kind of relationship Leon could have with the Shears. He finally understood that it was just that Leon happened to be lucky enough to get to know Benedict.Leon ignored Ashwin and continued, "Yes, it's because of that, that I got friendly with Elder Shear. I gave him a call last night and told him that the company needed some materials, and he agreed to work with us…""So that's the case! You did very well! It looks like I made the right choice letting you join the company!" Iris had a smile on her face as she praised Leon.When
"Miss Young, if there's nothing else, I'll be going to the factory," Ashwin excused himself and left the office.Looking at Leon leave, Ashwin clenched his fists tightly. His expression was incredibly dark.A few days ago, Leon took his responsibilities away with production, and now Leon showed him up again. He could not just take that!"Mister Mercer, you should go back to work!" Iris said calmly.She kept on feeling like there was no way Ashwin was free of responsibility regarding Micheal scheming against Leon, so she no longer held Ashwin in such high regard."Miss Young, there are some things I don't know if I should say…" Ashwin hesitated before stopping."What is it? Just tell me," Iris raised an eyebrow, wondering what Ashwin was getting at."Miss Young, I know you want to train Mister Wolf…""It's just that he's way too ambitious. It might not be a good thing for you to bring him up like that!" Ashwin said."Ambitious? That's impossible! I know Leon's character very we
"That's impossible! Leon definitely won't betray me. He's not the type of person to do that!" Iris said coldly, quickly tossing away her doubts.Most of the company's recent incredible developments were thanks to Leon. Leon was loyally contributing so much to the company, so she could not doubt Leon like that!Leon even saved her life before. He had a great character. If she did not even trust Leon, then who else could she trust?"Miss Young, you mustn't let your guard down! Leon doesn't have anything right now, so he's forced to rely on you. Once he succeeds thanks to you, he might end up betraying you…" Ashwin did not give up as he spoke, but he was stopped by Iris before he could finish."Stop it!""Ashwin, I'll ignore your insults to Leon this time since you've contributed a lot to the company these two yours, but don't do it again!""Alright, go back to work!" Iris berated with a cold look on her face.She always faced the business world coldly. Her business skills were not
