His gaze was immediately clouded by another layer of hatred toward Leon. Harvey, on the other hand, was oblivious to the newfound tension in the room. He broke the silence by saying curtly, "Jacob, Anson, it's now the three of us against the two of you. What do you have to say about that?" "I…" the color drained from Jacob's face. Even though Iris was not a martial artist herself, the people she brought with her were undoubtedly the best of the best. If they were to get into a fight head-on, he and Anson would surely lose in this situation! "Are you sure you want to help this scumbag, Iris?" Anson asked in anticipation. He was hoping that Iris would reconsider her decision and choose him over Leon! "That's right! Leon is my friend, and any enemy of his is an enemy of the Youngs!" Iris replied coldly, her attitude adamant. Even though she was still a little jealous over the lipstick mark, she was still willing to stand on Leon's side without hesitation, out of consideration
The energy center was the core of a martial artist's training, and to lose it was to lose all ounces of their power and hereby become an ordinary person. Leon did not want to kill Xander; all he wanted to do was take away Xander's energy center and render him powerless, but still alive. This was the best he could do! "Mason, send both of them to the hospital and make sure nothing happens to them," he ordered. Both Brody and Xander were injured by him and needed urgent treatment. If they did not go to a hospital immediately, something terrible would happen, and he did not need the police on his trail at this time. "Yes." Mason gestured for a few of his men to follow him, then left with Brody and Xander. "Mister Poole, Mister Shears, and you, too, Iris; thank you all for your help. I wouldn't have been able to do this without you." Leon did not forget about thanking his friends. "You're too kind, Mister Wolf. This is the least I can do for you after how you helped my famil
She could not understand how a divorcee like Leon had become so popular among the ladies! "If there's nothing else, Mister Wolf, Cynthia and I will excuse ourselves." Harvey was utterly oblivious to the silent rivalry between Cynthia and Iris. "We'll cross paths again soon, Mister Wolf!" Fane, too, was about to leave. "I seem to have underestimated you, Leon. Not only do you have connections with the Shears, but now, you are even friends with Fane Poole, son of the Southern King!" Iris shot Leon a cold look after watching Harvey, Cynthia, and Fane leave. She knew of Leon's friendship with the Shears, and thus was not shocked by Harvey and Cynthia's presence here. However, she had no idea that Leon was also friends with Fane Poole, and this surprised her greatly. This was not the most important thing, however; what mattered more was how popular Leon seemed to have become among the ladies. Was this the same Leon Wolf she first met? She could not help wondering if she e
Leon shook his head. Despite answering Janice's questions, his attention already flew far away; he thought of Iris and wondered how he would even begin to explain everything to her. "That's good!" Janice let out a sigh of relief, and a smile spread across her face. Even though Leon denied being an item with Iris, she could tell from his tone that he was interested in Iris too. However, this did not matter; she and Leon had such a strong basis for their relationship, perhaps Leon liked her too without knowing himself. As long as Iris and Leon were not dating, she still stood a chance of making Leon hers! Besides, she and Leon had seven years of extra time spent together, and there was no way Iris would be able to surpass that! "What did you just say, Janice? I couldn't hear you clearly," Leon asked. "Nothing…" Janice bit her lip. She could not help recalling her mother's advice; her mother was right to say that Leon was a good man and that she needed to seize the oppor
Louisa rolled her eyes at him. "What am I supposed to do now? You have to help me, Louisa." Leon shot her a desperate look. "You've come here empty-handed with nothing to show for your sincerity, so how am I supposed to help you?" Louise snapped. "What do you mean, sincerity?" Leon froze in confusion. "What do you think, you twat?" Louisa rolled her eyes at him, then gestured for him to approach her. She whispered in his ear, "You idiot! If you want my cousin to ease up her anger, you should at least buy some flowers or a gift to show your sincerity. Otherwise, how are you going to get her to listen to you? Is she supposed to do that by just believing everything you say?" "Oh…" Leon immediately understood what she was talking about. "I understand now, Louisa. Thank you, I'll be right back!" With that, he turned and sprinted away. Inside the room, Iris grew even more outraged when she heard Leon's knocking cease. She could even vaguely make out the sound of his footsteps
Iris got up and unlocked the door. "Creak—" All of a sudden, a gigantic bouquet of roses materialized before her face. Before she could even figure out what went on, Leon already darted into the room and closed the door behind him. "Leon, what…what are you doing here?" Iris's expression turned cold as she realized that she was tricked by Leon and Louisa's scheme. "Iris, these beautiful flowers are for a beauty like you. I hope you'll like them…" Leon held the bouquet out to her, grinning. "Who cares about flowers?" Iris turned her head away, trying to ignore him. "I know you're still angry at me, Iris, but please listen to me. Nothing is going on between Janice and me, and that's the truth… She kissed me on my cheek out of gratitude for my having rescued her, and that's all it was…" Leon tried to explain himself. "I don't care what happens between you and her. This has nothing to do with me at all! I've already told you this; you don't have to explain anything to me!"
Toward the end, she lost all her strength and collapsed into his arms.It was not until Iris was close to suffocation that Leon reluctantly let go of her lips, ending the passionate kiss."You jerk, that was my first kiss. How dare you just take it like that!" She flushed and punched him in the chest half-heartedly."First kiss? That’s not right! I took your first kiss a long time ago!" He muttered as he recalled kissing Iris the time before."What are you talking about? When did you do that? Did you? Did you do something to me in the past without me knowing?" Shocked, she questioned sharply.Leon would have to be a fool to admit that and explained, "Did you forget that I did mouth-to-mouth on you when we first met? Your first kiss was mine!" He chuckled smugly.From the first time he met Iris, he thought that there was no one more beautiful-looking and he never once dreamt that he would be able to call her his."Stop acting all smug! You've been after me the whole time!" She gl
Happiness struck him, and he was overjoyed when Iris agreed to date him. He moved closer to kiss her again, but Iris stopped him."Could you please just let me finish?" I may agree to be your girlfriend, but my grandfather and father may not, which is why I need you to work hard to gain their approval!" She cautioned, slightly concerned.She had feelings for Leon for a long time, but because their backgrounds were so different, she couldn't bring herself to initiate a relationship.Leon was an orphan with no background who had previously married, so it was obvious that her family would not agree to such a match.Iris's relationship with her father was not always harmonious, so she didn't mind if her father objected to the relationship; however, she was always close with her grandfather and had never disobeyed him. If her grandfather refused Leon, she might find herself at a crossroads.Leon, thankfully, proved himself capable. He not only offered assistance in running the company,
