"Mister Poole, please spare me! I just mean to get Missus Poole to wake up. I didn't mean to," Terrified, Doctor Chase fell onto his knees.He did not think much of the side effects of the adrenaline injections and he wanted to revive Gloria as soon as possible so that Vincent would reward him handsomely. Naturally, he could not possibly confess his true intention at the time, or Vincent would kill him right there and then.As the Southern King, Vincent would encounter no issue with killing a mere doctor."Vincent, that's enough. Doctor Chase helped me through the past two years. Since he didn't mean to make a mistake, just spare him," Gloria said."No way! This scammer doesn’t have any sense of morals and almost got you killed. I refuse to let him go!" Vincent gritted out furiously."Please! I was wrong! Please have mercy on me," Drenched in sweat, Doctor Chase pleaded."Vincent, just leave him alone. I'm fine right now. Why would you hold him here?" Gloria always had a gentle h
After lunch, Vincent sent Leon back to Cynthion Group.In the president's office, Cynthia stood from her chair when Leon stepped inside. "Leon, you came just in time. There’s something important that I need to tell you.""What is it?" Leon massaged his temple in confusion, feeling slightly light-headed from all the wine that Vincent made him drink at lunch earlier."My brother just called me, saying that he has leads on where to find wild Panax that has grown for five hundred years," Cynthia explained with a smile but was cut off before she could finish."Seriously? That's great!" Overjoyed, Leon immediately sobered.He reached the bottleneck of the Peak Meditation Phase and with a wild Panax that has grown for five hundred years, he could produce the Foundation Pill that could help him work past the bottleneck.He asked for Harvey's help earlier to search for the wild Panax he needed and the wait was worth it. Finally finding leads on what they needed, Leon was over the moon.C
Leon was merely a man and since he was single, he could not be immune to her charm.Before he knew it, Cynthia left a mark in his heart and as their relationship progressed, the two realized that they meant more than friends to one another even though they were not officially dating.So long as Leon agreed, Cynthia would happily become his girlfriend, but he knew that Iris remained to be the love of his life and he could not bring himself to accept Cynthia's feelings.Despite his reluctance, Cynthia was happy with their progress regardless.She knew that Leon was still recovering from the breakup with Iris and was in no rush to start a new relationship. She had the time and patience to wait until he forgot about Iris before she could slip in and replace Iris....A day before the auction, Cynthia drove Leon to Seacove City and the two selected a five-star hotel to stay the night.Inside the hotel room, Cynthia and Leon just settled down when a young couple came knocking on their
She was the daughter of the Doyle Family and while the Doyle Family was far from powerful compared to the Shear Family, Sandra was raised like a princess and had no respect for an assistant."Cynthia, allow me to introduce you to my boyfriend, Leonard. Leonard, this is my best friend from college, the daughter of the Shear Family, Cynthia." Sandra ignored Leon and pulled the young man behind her forward, before proceeding to introduce them."Miss Shear, I've heard a lot about your family. It's my pleasure to get to know you." Leonard smiled politely as he extended his hand to shake Cynthia."Oh, hello!" Still upset that Leon did not claim to be her boyfriend, Cynthia responded casually and ignored the hand extended toward her.Seeing how Cynthia was to Leonard, Sandra thought that it was because Cynthia was not aware of Leonard's background and explained, "Cynthia, Leonard's the son of the Hines Family, one of the most powerful families here in Seacove City.""Well, the Hines Fami
It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance for him.If he managed to get Cynthia to agree to a partnership, he would have become the hero of the family that demanded respect and could potentially rise to a position of power."Well, I'll think about the partnership," Cynthia said hesitantly without giving a clear stance.While extending Cynthion Group's operation to other cities could be considered a good thing, the supply of Energy Nurturing Pills was hardly even enough to fulfill the demand in Springfield City alone, and supplying the pills to other markets would not be possible at this time.However, extending to overseas markets would happen sooner or later if Cynthion Group wished for a brighter future.Seeing how Leonard was her best friend's boyfriend, Cynthia decided that she could consider a partnership once Leon produced the second batch of Energy Nurturing Pills and handed over a portion of the supply to the Hines Family.Nonetheless, Leon was the chairman of Cynthion Group and
"Cynthia, Seacove City is famous for its scenery. You don't always get the chance to visit, so why don't I show you around? We can go for dinner later on." Sensing the tension in the air, Sandra interfered."Yeah, sure." The scowl on Cynthia's face eased. She plotted to travel with Leon alone so that they could go sightseeing together and Sandra's suggestion was precisely what Cynthia wanted.Afterward, the group left the hotel for sightseeing.A black racing car was parked in the hotel parking lot; it was a brand-new car that Leonard purchased with thousands of dollars.Though Leon and Cynthia drove to Seacove City, Leonard decided to show his hospitality by taking them out in his car instead."Kid, here's the car key. You're driving! I just bought his car and it cost a fortune so be careful with it, or you won't be able to compensate for it!" Leonard commanded, before tossing the car key to Leon."You're asking me to drive?" Taken by surprise, Leon stared at the car key in hand
Seacove City was situated next to the sea and was known to hold many beautiful sceneries and famous sightseeing spots.Sandra planned a sightseeing route in the system built into the car and the group traveled down the path through countless breathtaking sceneries. With Sandra as their tour guide, the group had a blast.However, Leonard followed Cynthia around to fawn over her the entire time as he focused on getting her to agree on a partnership.Sandra felt annoyed by her boyfriend's lack of manners and occasionally spoke to Leon out of courtesy, but since she did not know Leon well, the two did not have much to discuss and she only managed to say a few words to Leon.Cynthia saw everything and was extremely displeased.Not only was Leon the chairman of Cynthion Group, but he was also the man she fell in love with and she was upset that Leonard purposefully neglected Leon. She thought of working with Leonard out of her respect for her friendship with Sandra, but Cynthia decided
However, Cynthia was too distant and he could not rely on their friendship alone. Once Cynthia left the city, it would only be more difficult for him to strike a deal."Miss Shear, enjoy. I need to run to the washroom," Leonard said, before walking out of the room.As soon as he faced his back at the three, his smile dropped.The partnership with Cynthion Group meant the world to him as it determined if he would be able to rise to a position of power within his family.He was an ambitious man with a thirst for power and he refused to get his chance to escape.He had to make sure that she agreed to the partnership before Cynthia left Seacove City, no matter the cost.Once Leonard left, Sandra turned to look at Cynthia hesitantly. "Cynthia, Leonard wants to work with Cynthion Group. If it's possible, please agree to it for my sake."Leonard was her boyfriend and seeing how desperate he was to work with Cynthion Group, Sandra decided to speak to Cynthia in his place."Sandra, it's
