Iris covered her mouth and laughed. She could not help and save Leon when she saw Leon was stupefied because of Louisa."Iris, I'm just kidding with him. Why are you in a hurry to protect him? You're not in a relationship with him anyway," Louisa giggled and started to make fun of Iris."Nonsense! I… I'm not protecting him." Iris's cheek became rosy as she felt embarrassed by what Louisa said."Oh? I thought you're feeling sorry for him!" Iris continued like a child daring to do great mischief."You… You keep on talking rubbish. I don't want to speak with you anymore!" Iris was so shy that she gave Louisa a fierce glare. After that, she took an Energy Nurturing Pill and ate it.Looking at Iris's exquisite and pretty face, Leon was attracted to it. He secretly gave Louisa a thumbs up and complimented in his heart, 'Louisa's so awesome. She didn't fail my expectation!'Louisa winked and both of them said nothing about it.After the round of jokes, three of them each took an Energy
That was not all.With help from Louisa, his relationship with Iris was becoming closer. They spent much of their time together and their affection for each other grew. The only thing left was the right timing and opportunity.It was a Saturday. Leon and Iris were not working and Louisa did not need to go to school."Iris, since it's Saturday, why don't we go shopping and watch a movie?" Louisa crackled and grabbed Iris's arm."That's right. I heard there's a comedy on air that's pretty good. We can go and watch it," Leon quickly agreed with the suggestion.He got the hint and knew Louisa was helping him to create an opportunity! Other than being a little quirky, his future cousin-in-law treated him quite well.'Umm… Alright." After a little hesitation, Iris nodded and agreed.It would be considered a date if she had to go shopping and watch a movie with Leon alone. She probably would reject the suggestion with her reserved personality. However, it was a different story if three
Back at the Sullivan Mansion.Both Samuel and Brody were in the living room."Dad, you said you hired some people to deal with Leon, didn't you? It's been a few days. How come there hasn't been any news?" Brody inquired, his voice tense."Don't freak out. You must be patient with everything. This time, I've hired The Winged Tiger, Xander Long. He is far more powerful and influential than Mason. It's a simple task for him to deal with Leon, that loser," Samuel said as he brewed a cup of coffee.He had no idea how powerful Leon was, but he knew Xander was a leader in the Gangster World. The Northern King also backed Xander up. Leon was only one man, no matter how powerful he was. He was never going to be able to defeat Xander."Yes, you're right." Brody nodded, feeling more at ease.Someone was walking over in a hurry at the time. The butler entered from the outside. "Master, someone by the name of Xander Long has asked to see you. He stated that it is urgent...""Xander Long is h
"Dad, I think I know what happened. That kid went to the flea market and bought a jade stone. He was lucky enough to end up with an imperial green jade. After that, he sold it to Elder Shear…" Brody thought about it and quickly told his dad about Leon buying a jadestone.He thought the transaction between Leon and Benedict was in cash term and they were no longer related. It was in his wildest dream that the Shears would help Leon. It was just too unbelievable!"So, that's why!"Samuel and Xander finally understood how Leon would get to know the Shears. Especially Xander. At first, he thought Leon was from the Shears, so he was slightly scared. Now that he knew Leon had a bit of dumb luck and knew Benedict, his hanging heart was finally able to rest.After all, cash deal was too common. It could not prove anything. The Shears would also not help Leon all the time just because of a small relationship like that. It was just impractical.Their thoughts were in the right direction. Ho
"9 million dollars! That's the price I'm looking for. If you can't accept it, then you'll have to get someone else to do the job," Xander said persistently."This… Fine!" Samuel hesitated and still nodded his head to agree with the price.Although 9 million dollars was not a small amount of money, it was nothing to Sullivan Enterprises. As long as Xander could kill Leon on behalf of Samuel and Brody, the money was well spent."Mr. Long, let me remind you something. Leon is quite powerful and not an easy person to kill. But he has just gotten himself a new girlfriend. If you use his girlfriend, it'll be a lot easier…" Brody hesitated and told Xander about Janice."Good. Very good! This is important information. Thank you for providing such valuable information. Don't worry. I'll kill that kid. I promise I won't let you down," Xander laughed.As the old saying went, "Human beings die in pursuit of wealth and birds die in pursuit of food."Everything in the gangster world was priori
"If you want to thank me, you need to love her and don't treat her badly when you successfully make her your girlfriend."Louisa smiled and squinted her eyes into the shape of a crescent moon.The reason why she would continue to help Leon was that she could tell Iris has feelings toward Leon. Besides, she thought Leon was a nice guy and merely matched with Iris. No matter how foolish she was, she would never sell her cousin to anyone so easily."Don't worry. I'm afraid I don't know how to show my love to her to think about how to treat her badly," Leon guaranteed."Remember what you said today. If you dare to bully her, I'll never forgive you!" Louisa swung her fist to threaten Leon.By then, Iris who was walking in the front finally noticed something was wrong. She looked back curious, "Louisa, what are you two talking about?""Nothing. Leon was just saying how pretty you look today," Louisa giggled."Tsk! What rubbish are you talking about?" Iris blushed. Her mind suddenly th
A lady would make up to appease herself.Since Leon was about to come to find her, she wished to present the most beautiful side of her to him. Honestly speaking, she had no idea why she would have that thought in her mind. 'Maybe because all women want to be pretty,' she thought.Suddenly, her mother walked into her room and looked at her daughter doubtfully."Janice, I thought you don't like to wear makeup. Why are you putting makeup on all of a sudden when it is near noon? Are you going out?" her mother asked curiously."No. My friend's coming over," she replied with a smile."A friend? A guy or a girl?" her mother thought of something."A guy," Janice answered without thinking much."Is he your boyfriend? When did you have a boyfriend? Why didn't you tell me and your father?" Her mother's eyes twinkled as she was excited.Janice's face blushed. "Mother, you think too much. I don't have a boyfriend. Leon's just my college mate. He's not my boyfriend…""College mate? That's
Janice did not have to wait too long before she saw Leon driving over from a distance on his bike."Leon, I'm here," Janice had a demure smile on her face as she waved in Leon's direction.Leon replied with a smile and stopped in front of Janice."Janice, these are some cosmetics from Elegante. They're for you," Leon handed over two specially made cosmetics."Thank you," Janice accepted the cosmetics, unable to stop herself from thinking about her and Leon eating and shopping together the other day. A strange feeling crept up in her heart.Before that, she always saw Leon as a good friend. They were purely friends, and she never saw Leon more intimately at all.However, Leon changed a lot after they met again. He suddenly gained some of the attractiveness that a mature man could have. His martial arts skills were amazing as well. In the mall, he protected her at every corner. It made her feel incredibly safe.A sense of security was something most women needed, and she was no ex
