When Theodore found out about the mystery chairman of Cythion Group, he hurried back to his family from the company, meeting the elder as well. "Grandfather, regarding the mystery chairman behind Cythion Group and their Pure Energy Pills, I trust you've heard about it?" Theodore said thoughtfully."Yes, I know about it. Theodore, what do you think about the matter?" Walter Fields slowly sipped his tea."The Shears and us have always had some conflicts when it comes to business. We've fought over quite a lot of things through the years. With the Shears getting the help of the chairman, their influence and power will expand. In just a few years, the Shears will end up setting themselves apart from the other families, and turn into the kings of Springfield City! We can't let that happen!" Theodore's expression was dark.With how the Fields and the Shears regularly opposed each other, the Shears becoming the kings of Springfield City would be a death sentence for them!"You're right!
Basically, even if the alchemist ended up with the Youngs or the Collins, it was still better than the Shears!That was Walter's true goal!Of course, Walter considered things as well. If that alchemist was insistent on working with the Shears, then they would have to figure out a way to destroy that person at all costs!They could not let him continue to help the Shears!"Grandfather, you are a master strategist!" Theodore laughed coldly. After that, he went to the Youngs and the Collins as Walter asked.…With the Youngs, after Elder Young found out about the mystery chairman and the Pure Energy Pills, he quickly summoned Gilbert to the study."Dad, did you need me for something? Is it about that chairman of Cythion Group?" Gilbert asked, more or less guessing his father's intentions."Yes, that's right. I asked you to look into the identity of that alchemist behind the Shears. How has the progress been? Did you manage to find anything?" Elder Shear asked impatiently.He had
"Dad, I have an idea," Gilbert said after some hesitation."What's your idea? Share it with me," Elder Young asked."The alchemist has already agreed to work with the Shears. The two of them are very close. If we want to get him from the Shears, it won't be easy at all. We have to form an even closer relationship with that alchemist. Only then would he give up on working with the Shears and work for us instead! In all matters, the closest form of a relationship is marriage!" Gilbert said."What do you mean?" Elder Young narrowed his eyes, vaguely understanding the implications."Alchemy is an art that has been lost for hundreds of years. That alchemist's skills are amazing. He has to be from some ancient family that was hidden for a long time! On the day of the sales drive, we can bring Iris with us. With Iris's looks and status, one of the younger generations of that alchemist might take a fancy to IRis!" Gilbert said meaningfully."You're planning on marrying Iris off? No, I won
Even within the province, there was probably no one as beautiful as Iris!He was very confident in Iris's allure. He believed that someone tied to the alchemist would fall for Iris. It was just that he did not know if Iris would be interested in them."Yes, it doesn't seem like a bad idea!" Elder Young said."Dad, is that a yes?" Gilbert was incredibly happy."Yes, nothing bad will come from it anyway. There's no harm trying," Elder Young nodded.The two of them were discussing the matter when some urgent footsteps were heard. A handsome young man walked in.That young man was Randy Young, he was from the second branch of the Youngs. He was also the most excellent young man among the youths of the Youngs. His skills and fame were comparable to Harvey, Anson, and Theodore.However, those three were all future successors of their families. Randy was different. He was not from the same family branch as Elder Young and Gilbert. In the future, the successor of the Youngs would still
It looked like an incredibly important occasion!The Shears seemed to have expected the situation and made preparations.Benedict was in attendance himself. He led a lot of the experts and guards of the family to Cythion Group. After that, he arranged for them to maintain order at the venue with the employees of Cythion Group.Behind the scenes, Benedict stood by the window with his hands behind his back. He looked incredibly calm, but it was unclear what he thought about.Suddenly, Harvey was heard frantically walking over."Grandfather, I saw a lot of the major families outside. Even the older generation of the three other great families are here. They brought a lot of their experts with them, including their Supreme Masters. It doesn't look like they're just here for the sales drive!" Harvey frowned. "Of course, they have other intentions! They're all here for Leon!" Benedict said calmly, looking away from the window."What? They're here for Leon? Why?" Harvey was shocked.
However, if Leon wanted to form his force, he would need to gain a reputation first. Only then would he manage to attract experts to work under him.If Leon continued to keep a low profile, no one would be willing to work for a nameless person!In the end, anyone who wanted to expand and grow would need to meet a lot of difficulties on the path to doing so. Leon was no exception. It was something that could not be helped!At the sales drive, Leon and Cynthia were ordering their employees and the guards around to welcome the various major families as the figureheads of Cythion Group.Cynthia was second among the four great beauties. Her looks were impeccable, and she was the focus of attention no matter where she went.Many of the younger generations could not resist looking at her.When they saw Leon next to Cynthia and how close they seemed to be, quite a lot of their expressions changed.Last time, Leon was with Iris during the opening ceremony of Cythion Group.The fact that
Iris was at the top of the four great beauties of Springfield City. She was always been pure and untouchable, and was practically a goddess in the eyes of the rich elite!Yet, their goddess was taken by Leon, an orphan divorcee!It completely changed their world. The shock in their eyes was evident!On the other side, Leon saw Louisa and Iris as well.It was the first time Leon saw Iris since he broke up with her. He felt a complicated wave of emotions. There was sadness, frustration, and even pleasant surprise.After all, Iris was the woman he loved the most. Even in the past few days, he found himself unable to forget about her.Seeing Iris after a few days, the feelings of longing surged into his mind again. He felt somewhat emotional, and even started to wonder if Iris would change her mind about him after having a few days to calm down!However, when Iris stated that they broke up, it was like a bucket of cold water over his head. His heart turned cold, and all of that exci
The rich young men around him were scared away by Elder Young, and they could not help but take a step back.Louisa was afraid of nothing, except her grandfather. She shut her mouth and reluctantly walked over, cursing her grandfather softly for being a stubborn old coot. Thankfully, she was very soft, and only Leon heard her.Otherwise, Elder Young would have been infuriated by her! "Leon, I heard you're the president's assistant in Cythion right now! I can't believe you turned around and ran to the Shears right after you left us! You are quite good at cozying up to others!" Gilbert said with a mocking laugh. "So he's Cynthia's assistant!"The men around them realized something, finally understanding Leon's relationship with Cynthia.However, they still did not know what happened between Leon and Iris."Mister Young, you don't have to speak so snidely. I don't mind telling you. Leon isn't something as simple as the president's assistant of Cythion Group!" Cynthia's expressi
