"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."
Leon spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying. He slammed on the ground, and the bottles of Energy Nurturing Pills in his hand scattered everywhere."Dad, you-" Iris's heart ached when she saw Leon spitting out blood from Gilbert's strike.For a moment, she almost failed to stop herself from rushing over to look at Leon's injuries. However, she remembered that Leon was just a liar that used her.In the end, she pushed back the pain in her heart, ignoring Leon.Leon felt a chill in his heart. He was fine with taking Gilbert's blow like that, but Iris's indifference hurt him even more."Leon, since you saved my father before, I'll show you some mercy! However, if you ever pester Iris again in the future, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy!" Gilbert warned coldly.It was a casual strike from him earlier. If he was serious, Leon would have been crippled, if not dead!"Cough!""So you still remember that I've saved Elder Young before! Mister Young, Elder Young,
Leon was incredibly professional. He did not seem to have any other intentions.However, she suddenly thought of what Ashwin said to her.When Leon secured the cooperation of the Shears, Ashwin said that Leon might be incredibly ambitious, and might be working with the Shears to take over the company!That concern was in line with her father and grandfather's worries!Not only that. The last time, Cynthia even shot her a challenging look when they were at Xander's residence as if she was an enemy.Everything was enough to prove that Leon was not as simple as it seemed!Suddenly, she was affected by what Ashwin said earlier, and was even more suspicious of Leon!"Leon, I'm thankful for all that you've done for the company, but it doesn't mean you didn't have your selfish intentions! In the end, if you can't give me a reasonable explanation, we should just break up!" Iris said coldly."Very well then." Leon smiled in frustration, and tears started to swell up in his eyes.He n
Leon's heart ached.Even if he was incredibly sad at the moment, he could not reveal his weakness in front of them.He needed to keep his dignity as a man. He straightened his back and left without turning around.Looking at Leon leave so decisively, Iris's heart was a mess. She felt like she lost the most important thing to her."Dad, I don't care if Leon had ill intentions or not. He still gave a lot to the company. He's worked very hard for us. I can't say anything about you having him move out, but why did you kick him out of Elegante?" Iris said unhappily.Even though she was furious at Leon's supposed deceptions, she considered Leon's contributions to the company, and never planned on kicking Leon out."Iris, you have to completely cut off any ties! The matter already progressed to this level. You need to cut him off so he won't be able to trouble you anymore! I'm doing this for your good!" Gilbert said."But-" Iris was still a bit reluctant."There are no buts! I've alre
Mason was dumbfounded."It's nothing."Leon felt like he could not talk to an old man like Mason about his relationship. He poured himself more alcohol and drank it all up again."Mister Wolf, this whiskey's quite strong. You'll get drunk very easily if you drink like this," Mason advised.He could tell that Leon had something on his mind. It was just that there was nothing he could do if Leon did not want to mention it."If I get drunk, then I get drunk. It'll solve my sadness! Isn't that good?" Leon smiled bitterly as he continued to drink."Drink slower. Whatever, I'll join you then!" Mason felt very helpless as he raised his glass to drink with Loen.Ring ring!Suddenly, Leon's phone started to ring. Leon's mood was really bad. He did not know who called and was in no mood to answer."Mister Wolf, your phone is ringing," Mason said."It's fine, ignore it." Leon waved it off.However, they did not give up and called him three times in a row.Leon could not take it an
Even though he was quite a good drinker, his face was thoroughly red after continuously drinking so much. His eyes looked like they were clouded in drunkenness.However, Mason thankfully realized that the situation was not good, and had his subordinates exchange the whiskey for beer, which was less strong. Otherwise, Leon would already have been a drunken mess!Creak!At that moment, the door to the room was opened. Cynthia was finally there."Miss Shear, you're here."Mason breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Cynthia called Leon earlier, and knew that Leon was close to the Shears. So, he hurried over to greet Cynthia.Cynthia's eyes swept through everything and saw the mess the room was in. She saw Leon slumped against the table as well. She said in surprise, "Mason, what happened? What's up with Leon?""I don't know the specifics, but I know that Mister Wolf doesn't seem to be in a good mood. He dragged me to drink with him the moment he got here, and he hasn't stopped dri
Leon was stunned as he looked at Cynthia in disbelief.Probably because of his drunken state, he reacted a bit slowly, not understanding what Cynthia meant."T-that's not what I meant," Cynthia blushed, realizing what she said was inappropriate. She quickly changed the topic, "Leon, the two of you were just fine. Why did you suddenly break up?""It's like this," Leon sighed.He was incredibly frustrated at that moment and needed someone to talk to. So, he told Cynthia everything that happened."That father and son pair is too much! You've helped their family time after time, but they ended up repaying you like this? It's despicable! Iris's something else as well. Even I can see that your moral character has always been very upright. There's no way you're someone shady and despicable. Yet, as your girlfriend, not only did she distrust you, she even suspected you of coveting their money. What a joke!" Cynthia said angrily, voicing out the injustice of it all."I don't understand wh
