"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
Horace enthusiastically motioned for Leon to sit on the sofa.After a few pleasantries."Leon, I have a few questions I want to ask you.""Where are you from? What do your parents work as?" Leanne asked straightforwardly."I'm an orphan. I grew up in an orphanage in Springfield City…" Leon said in a somewhat sad manner."An orphan?" Horace and Leanne were both stunned. The smile on their faces froze."Then, what's your job?" Leanna continued to ask.Even though Leon was an orphan without much of a family background, if Leon had a good job with a high salary and position, she could still accept it considering his potential growth in the future."I'm currently a secretary at a cosmetics company," Leon answered honestly.Leanne knew that secretaries usually only ran errands, and did not have that high of a salary. They did not have much of a future either, so her mood chilled a great deal, "Then do you have a home or a car?""No, I don't own any of that yet at the moment."Leon
Leanne did not look very happy. She immediately thought of Leon as a thug who only knew how to fight.Janice felt like her mother might have misunderstood things, and hurriedly said, "Mom, it's not like you think…""It's not like Leon doesn't have any money either. He has some savings. He was the one who bought those high-end clothes for me from the mall. He spent a few thousand in one go.." Janice told Leanne about the clothes, wanting her mother to approve of Leon."Oh, is that so?""Where did he get the money?" Leanne was shocked. Her expression softened a little. With Leon's situation, the fact that he was willing to spend so much on her daughter at least meant that he was sincere toward Janice."He made some money gambling…" Janice answered in reflex. She quickly realized that she should not have said that, and hurriedly shut her mouth. Yet, it was already too late."What?" "He gambles?!" Leanne's expression darkened."A man who only likes to fight and gamble. He's not a
Leon already realized something was wrong with the atmosphere and continued to try to excuse himself."It's the weekend, you don't have to go to work. What could be that important? You have to have lunch with me before you go," Janice said stubbornly."Then, alright," Leon reluctantly agreed, unable to refuse Janice."Hold on, your dad and I are coming too!" Leanne shot Horace a look when she saw that Janice was dragging Leon out. Janice's parents ended up going with them.After the conversation in the bedroom, Leanne misunderstood Leon for having a bad character. She was incredibly on guard against Leon, and would naturally not allow her daughter to go out with Leon alone.After that, the group went downstairs.Janice drove everyone to the business district nearby. After that, they arrived at a luxury hotel."Janice, you could've just brought us to some diner by the road, why would you come somewhere so expensive?" Leanne had a sour look on her face. "Leon's a rare guest. Of
"Mindy, what does your boyfriend work as?" Leanne could not help but ask."His family owns a company. They have millions in assets," Mindy let out a pleased smile. "Millions?"Leanne and Horace were both shocked. To them, that amount of money was already considered very wealthy."Janice, look at your cousin! She's not that much older than you, and she already has such an amazing boyfriend. What about you? You don't even have a boyfriend! You should learn a thing or two from her!" Leanne glared at Janice unhappily.Her daughter was excellent in every way and was more beautiful than Mindy.She did not hope for her daughter to get a boyfriend who was as rich as Mindy's but the man should at least be from a decent family and be an upstanding young man.Yet, her daughter managed to end up being friends with an orphan of ill character like Leon, instead of choosing someone from all the men who were after Janice.It was obvious how she would feel! "Mom, these things are down to fat
