Adding Elegante Group's potential to the equation, the Young Family would soon be able to rise to the top of Springfield City.It was the biggest ambition for the Young Family and the other families as well.Little did Elder Young and Gilbert know, the person who produced the alchemical pills was Leon.Leon himself did not expect such success either. He just wanted to make a profit from selling the pills, not realizing that the pills became a crucial element of power in the eyes of all major families in Springfield City. If he knew the Young Family would place such importance on the Energy Nurturing Pills, he would have worked with them instead and used it as an advantage to secure his relationship with Iris.From another point of view, it was not necessarily a drawback that Leon chose to work with the Shear Family instead. Cynthion Group belonged to him and he would have a brighter future ahead to have his own business, instead of relying on the Young Family."Dad, I don't think
"Why will we do that?" Elder Young shot Gilbert a pointed look.Confused, Gilbert said, "Dad, Leon's just an orphan, who doesn't have the support of a powerful family and has been married once. He isn't worthy of Iris! We can't let Iris be with him!""All heroes start from nowhere! If he can rise to the top, why should it matter that he is an orphan? As for the part where he was married once, it's not that big of a deal in modern society!" Elder Young said calmly."But-" Gilbert was stunned as he did not expect his father to agree to the relationship."That's enough! He has no rivals among martial artists his age. You said so yourself. If he's capable of that, we can afford to give him a chance." Elder Young said, before narrowing his eyes warily at the bush behind them. "Who's there?""It's me. I was worried that you would get thirsty, so I brought you some tea." Daisy walked over with a cup of tea."Oh, set it down on the table." Elder Young pointed at the stone table next to h
"So, he was trying to kill off any witnesses?!" Gilbert's expression changed, immediately understanding what his wife meant.Even Elder Young, who was always composed, could not even keep his calm. He slammed the chair and stood up with a dark expression on his face, "Daisy, are you saying Iris's kidnapping could very well be related to Leon?""I don't know, I just feel like Leon's movements are very suspicious. However, I can't say if Iris's kidnapping is related to him," Daisy said ambiguously. "Dad, various things have proven that this thing is related to me! He might even be the mastermind behind the plan to kidnap Iris!" Gilbert shouted angrily."Surely not? He even saved my life before. If he was the mastermind behind everything and wanted to harm Iris or our family, why would he save me?" Elder Young said with uncertainty.Thinking about how Leon saved him before, he calmed down quite a bit. He started to wonder if they misplaced the blame on Leon."That-" Gilbert was spe
At Elegante, Leon went to Iris's office when he got back to the company. He happened to see Iris tidying up her documents and preparing to leave."Iris, isn't it still too early to get off work? Why are you tidying up your things?" Leon asked curiously."Oh, my grandfather just called me. He said he had something important he needed to tell me, and asked me to go home," Iris explained briefly."What's so important? Why is it so urgent?" Leon asked."What do you think? It must be because of our relationship. Otherwise, there shouldn't be anything else." Iris rolled her eyes at Leon with a blush.When she was at Cythion Group's opening ceremony in the afternoon, she was quite intimate with Leon, and her father happened to see it.She felt like Gilbert already guessed that she dated Leon, and Gilbert probably told Elder Young as well. That was why Elder Young summoned her home so urgently."So, that's the case!" Leon realized something."Iris, I happen to have some things I want t
"Yes, you're right! Whether he's the mastermind behind Iris's kidnapping or not, we can't let him be with Iris just because his intentions are sinister!" Elder Young said with a heavy tone. There was a sharp glint in his eyes.He planned on giving Leon a chance for his granddaughter's sake, but he completely changed his intentions at that moment!…Leon arrived at the manor with Iris.Even though he was there once before, it was still the first time he would be greeting Elder Young and Gilbert as Iris's boyfriend, so he was a bit anxious.In the living room, Elder Young never expected Iris to arrive with Leon. Both he and Gilbert were caught off guard.However, it suited their intentions just fine.Both sides could take the chance to show all their cards, saving any future trouble!"Elder Young, Mister Young, I prepared some gifts for you. There are a total of four hundred first-grade Energy Nurturing Pills here. I hope you'll let them."Leon gave them the four bottles of Ener
Elder Young was calm as he motioned for Gilbert to return the pills to Leon."That…" Leon was dumbfounded.He knew that the Youngs needed Energy Nurturing Pills, so he deliberately prepared that gift. He never expected that Elder Young would reject him!"Grandfather, Leon's doing it out of the kindness of his heart, why are you rejecting him?" Iris could not stop herself from asking."Iris, your father's already told me about you and Leon. Tell me honestly, are you going out with him?" Elder Young said with a heavy voice.Iris blushed as she admitted, "Yes, that's right. He's my boyfriend right now…""No, your grandfather and I won't approve of this!" Gilbert stood up and opposed angrily."Grandfather, are you opposed to it as well?" Iris was shocked as she shot Elder Young a pleading look.She knew that Elder Young always loved her a lot. For her sake, Elder Young should have given Leon a chance."Your father's right, I won't agree to it!" Elder Young said firmly."Why?" Iri
"I-" Leon was speechless. He would have never dreamt that Gilbert would think he was the mastermind behind everything.Suddenly, he found himself at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain himself."That's right! Leon, to save me, you decided to die with the thugs that time. You're so skilled, how could you have needed to do that?" Iris was stunned, finally realizing that something was wrong.She witnessed Leon's skills for herself. He would have no problems even facing a few dozen thugs.With Leon's skills, just two kidnappers would have been incredibly easy to deal with. Why would he have needed to die with them?Leon had to have been faking it!Thinking about that, Iris's trust in Leon started to sway."Iris, I didn't know any martial arts back then." Leon wanted to explain himself, but he did not know how to."You didn't know martial arts? You're telling me that, in just two or three months, you managed to get to the peak Innate State when you didn't know any martial a
All of that was enough to prove that there was a problem with Leon!"Iris, no! My feelings for you are sincere. I can swear that I've never had any greedy intentions toward your family's power, and never wanted to use the Youngs." Leon said sincerely."Is that so? Then why didn't you capture the kidnappers when you saved me? Why did you kill them to silence them?" Iris asked, biting her lips. Her heart was a mess, and she did not know if she should trust Leon."I said it just now. I didn't know martial arts back then. The fact that I was able to survive was already a miracle. How could I have the skills to capture them?" Leon said bitterly."Alright, let's say I believe you didn't know martial arts back then. How did your skills suddenly improve so much in just two or three months? Suddenly, your abilities became very outstanding as well. It's completely different from what you were known for. Can you explain what happened?" Iris asked with a fiery look in her eyes."I, I can't."
