"Tell me then, what kind of bet do you want to make?" Jacob smiled.He felt like it would be incredibly easy for him to defeat Leon. Leon adding to the bet just like that was like a gift.There was no way he could reject that!"Why don't I add another two hundred first-grade Energy Nurturing Pills? If you win this match, on top of the bet from earlier, we'll give you a total of four hundred pills. What do you think?" Leon mentioned his side first."Good, you said it yourself!" Jacob was elated. After that, he quickly said, "However, it's not like you have Energy Nurturing pills on you. It's pointless for you to mention it I want Fane to guarantee it!"As he said that, Jacob looked over at Fane."That-" Fane was a bit hesitant. Even though the pills were valuable, he trusted Leon a lot.Since Leon was adding to the bet, it meant that Leon was incredibly confident in winning!"Alright, then we'll listen to Mister Wolf. We'll add another two hundred first-grade Energy Nurturing
"What? Kneel and apologize?" Jacob's expression changed.Even though Leon's condition did not seem that difficult, he was still a very notable young man in Springfield City. If he knelt and apologized to Snow, it would not just be him that would be embarrassed. Even his father's reputation would suffer!"Surely this fraud isn't trying to pull some trick."Snow was stunned. She never expected Leon's condition would be that!Earlier, Jacob's words humiliated her and crossed the line. She was still furious about it, but her skills were not strong enough to wipe away the humiliation.Yet, at that moment, Leon was trying to seek justice for her! She treated Leon so badly, but Leon did not hate her or even think about the humiliation she suffered. A warmth started to flow into her heart.However, she quickly woke up from it. Leon was just a fraud. She did not think Leon had the skills to seek justice for her at all!Leon might have just deliberately mentioned it to gain her favor an
Leon smiled coldly, not bothering to avoid it as he sent a fist right at Jacob's attack."You're taking me head-on? You want to die!" Jacob laughed as he strengthened his punch, using his full force to try and break Leon's arm as payback!"Is this guy stupid? Jacob's already at the peak Innate State. Wouldn't fighting Jacob head-on be suicide?!" Snow was shocked.Even at the late Inante State, she still suffered internal injuries from Jacob's attack just now.Leon was just a fraud with no skills. If he suffered that blow from Jacob, Leon would be crippled, if not die!Even though she did not like Leon that much, she was still a woman in the end. She had a lot of kindness in her heart.At that moment, she wanted to shut her eyes, not wanting to see Leon's tragic fate! Landry and the others were the same. They felt a chill in their hearts.If Leon tried to avoid it, he might be able to last a few exchanges with Jacob. Clashing with Jacob like that was the dumbest choice!"This
If he did not witness it herself, she would never have believed it. Landry and the rest were equally as incredulous, with shocked looks across their faces and their minds swirling with emotions. "Snow, I've already told you before that Mister Wolf isn't any ordinary man. Do you finally believe me now?" Fane said with a triumphant look. "Yes. You were right. I guess I may have judged him too soon." Snow's face flushed scarlet in embarrassment. The fact that Leon defeated Jacob so easily meant that he was almost a member of the realm of Supreme Masters if not one already. To possess such talent and skill also meant that he far surpassed Anson, Harvey, and even Theodore! How could this man possibly be a crook? Meanwhile, on the stage, Leon stared at Jacob from his towering height and said coldly, "You've lost, Jacob!" "You! You were cheating!" Jacob snapped with fury raging in his eyes as he haphazardly tried to pick himself off the ground. Even though the audience was t
Besides, he ambushed Leon without warning, and thus, there was no way Leon could defend himself in time! "Tsk, what an amateur!" Leon sneered and rose to the occasion. Jacob's level was at the Peak Innate State, which was almost on par with Leon, and truth be told, if Jacob picked his battles carefully, he would have lasted longer in the fight. However, Jacob was too arrogant to admit defeat and instead insisted on proving himself to be the better fighter, which ultimately would lead to his demise. Well, it was time to show him who was the boss! No one would stand a chance again his spiritual and true energies combined! "Thud—" with a deafening slam, Jacob's entire body was again flung out of the ring and landed hard on the ground. "How? How can this be?" Jacob muttered as he spat out a mouthful of blood, staring at Leon with a look of disbelief. He was willing to dismiss Leon's first win as beginner's luck, but even he had to admit that the second time round could not
Snow blushed every time she recalled how insistent she was that Leon was a crook. She was so embarrassed about her behavior that she wanted to apologize to Leon as sincerely as she could. "Miss Poole, your brother and I are friends, so you don't have to be so courteous with me. All I hope is that you don't treat me as a crook again in the future," Leon said jokingly. Snow's face blushed a deeper shade of scarlet, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled at him. "Leon, since you're Fane's friend, you don't have to keep calling me that. Feel free to call me Snow!" "Well, I'll gladly take you up on your offer then." Leon was a little taken aback by this. He never thought Snow would change her mind about him so quickly—just a few minutes ago, she was determined to kick him out, but now, she was beginning to warm up to him! Women were so hard to crack! However, unbeknownst to Leon, people in the Gangster World worshipped power and strength, and his performance that day
Leon asked, smiling. "Leon, I heard all about your resignation and your breakup with Iris. I was just wondering what happened—why would the two of you break up out of the blue?" Ariel asked with no intention of sugarcoating her words at all. This was the real reason she invited Leon for dinner. "Why does there need to be a reason for breaking up?" the smile froze on Leon's face. He initially felt a lot better after drowning his sorrows in alcohol the night before and talking to Cynthia, but now, his pain was once again brought to the surface by Ariel's mention of Iris. He finally realized just how important Iris became to him! "Can you give me a proper answer? If you still think of me as a friend, you should be honest with me," Ariel said in displeasure. "Um, alright." Leon let out a sigh and decided there was no point hiding it anymore, so he told Ariel the truth about everything. "Iris suspects you as the mastermind behind her kidnapping? She questioned your inten
Ariel gaped at this. She initially wanted to help Leon win back Iris's heart out of kindness, but she never thought Leon would reject her outright! "What happened in the past should stay in the past. Since she no longer trusts me, there's no point in me begging her to change her mind. The fact that she has mistrusted me once means that there likely will be a second, third, and God knows how many times. "Even if you helped me win her back this time, what will happen in the future? What if she still chooses to mistrust me if something else happens down the line? Am I supposed to beg for her to change her mind again and again?" Leon said solemnly. He could not help recalling the term he came across on the internet recently—the word, simp, would perfectly describe someone like him if he were to beg for Iris's forgiveness over and over. Besides, Iris was not the only one who mistrusted him, even Elder Young and Gilbert were the same. If he were to put down his ego and beg for Ir
