"Mister Wolf, we, the Pooles, don't want you to give up on working with the Shears. However, based on what I know, you just got a divorce not too long ago, and you don't have a girlfriend right now. Personal matters are always separate from business. Men can't just focus on business. If you don't mind, I can promise Snow to you. The two of you can get engaged. We'll have everyone here act as witnesses!" Vincent said, playing his trump card!Ever since Leon cured his wife last time, he started to seriously consider matching his daughter to Leon.When he found out that Leon was the chairman of Cynthion Group, even more, talented and amazing than he thought, he was even happier with Leon.That was not the main point. The main point was that he could already tell that his daughter seemed to fancy Leon a little. On such a grand occasion, if he was able to match his daughter and get Leon at the same time, it would be perfect!"What?"Leon was shocked by Vincent's words.The other major
However, one could not take their words back, and since her father already declared this in front of so many people, Snow could not possibly turn her father down and risk embarrassing him in front of his respectable peers. Besides, she was not entirely against the idea of marrying Leon at all. "Oh no," everyone's blood ran cold at this. Snow was a beautiful lady—one of the Four Beauties, no less. No man could ever resist a beauty like her, and Leon was no exception! Even though the elders did not approve of vincent's behavior, unlike him, they did not have pretty daughters that they could give out, and thus knew that they would not be able to compete against him. George could not stand this any longer; he was worried that Leon would not be able to resist Vincent's offer and quickly added, "President Wolf, the Collins will offer you six hundred and fifty million dollars to build a new enterprise, provided you work with us! Not only that, but I'll let you take my granddaughter
They were all seething with envy! "Grandpa, do you think Mister Wolf will be seduced by the Collins' offer?" Harvey asked, his face pale with fright. "I don't know either," Benedict replied, shaking his head. Even though he trusted Leon with all his life, he had to admit that Collins gave him a very attractive offer, and he was concerned that Leon would change his mind. Meanwhile, onstage, Cynthia's face turned red with rage. She planned this immaculate sales drive to help Leon achieve fame and reputation, but along the way, this turned into a dating show for Leon to pick his future wife! The worst part was, both Snow and Ruth were also part of the Four Beauties and were both on par with her. The truth was, Cynthia, Snow, and Ruth were equal competitors when it came to their family background, looks or figures. Therefore, she was not too happy about the prospect of discovering two new competitors! "President Wolf, we've already listed our terms. I wonder what are your thou
After all, Leon used to be her boyfriend, and they broke up out of circumstances outside her control, and not because she ceased to love him at all. Therefore, it was certainly not a good feeling to watch the man she loved being pined after by other women, not to mention the women in question were the three remaining beauties in Springfield City. The worst part was, she was helpless to stop them. "President Wolf, please make a choice!" George was relentless. He fixated his piercing gaze on Leon, in hopes of getting an answer. "Elder Collins, I appreciate your kindness, but the Shears and I've been getting along quite well, and as of now, I don't want to collaborate with anyone else!" Leon replied curtly. He was a grateful person; the Shears were the ones who helped him build Cynthion Group, and thus he would not abandon them and choose to work with other people. This was not something he could bring himself to do! The color drained from George and ruth's faces upon hearing
Seeing that Leon made his decision, Albert finally could not keep quiet any longer. "Leon, I want to apologize for the misunderstandings that have arisen between you and my family," Albert said, letting out an awkward smile. After finding out that Leon was the alchemist behind the Shears' legacy, he intended to resolve the unpleasant encounter between them. However, what the Youngs did to Leon was so cruel and heartless that he did not know how to patch things up. "Some things are meant to be left in the past," Leon said calmly. Even though he began to make a name for himself in this city, his achievements were still a long way away from the Four Major Families. Therefore, he was certain that Albert was not giving him a genuine apology at all. Neither Albert nor Gilbert would truly put their egos aside and apologize to him sincerely, at least not before he made a name for himself in this city. Albert began to panic when he saw how unbothered Leon seemed. He hesitated for
"I-" Leon began to tremble in excitement and wanted nothing more than to agree right in that instant. "Leon," Next to him, Cynthia bit her lip nervously, her entire face as pale as a sheet of paper. The truth was, she knew all along that Leon's heart was still with Iris, but she never thought Iris's power over him was so great that Albert would be able to use her as bait, and that Leon would fall for it so easily, as though all the mistreatment he received from the Youngs was forgotten! She was certain that Leon would agree to anything Albert wanted! A wave of despair surged through her at this realization. When he felt Cynthia's gaze on him, Leon immediately regained his composure as though he was struck by lightning. The Shears helped him in the past; what would he amount to if he chose to forgo their kindness and work with the Youngs instead? Besides, it was Cynthia who supported and helped him after his breakup with Iris. He could not betray the Shears just like tha
Thankfully, Louisa was quick enough to catch her before she could fall. "What's wrong, Iris?" she asked worriedly. "I'm fine," Iris replied, biting her lip as her blood ran cold. She was usually a wise and calm person, and thus could easily understand the position Leon was being put in, but now that she was placed on the spot, she could not find it in herself to empathize with him! All she could see was that Leon chose Cynthia over her. The Youngs were not the only ones who lost; she also lost to Cynthia. Louisa balked at this. The truth was, as an outsider, she could tell how difficult of a position Leon was in, but she could not deny the fact that Leon indeed gave up on the opportunity to reconcile with Iris. She was secretly outraged by this and did not know how to best console her cousin. "That's great! I love you so much, Leon!" Cynthia never expected that Leon would be able to resist the Youngs' tantalizing offer. She was absolutely over the moon at this an
"Mister Wolf, can the True Energy Pills help people who are at the Peak Innate State become a member of the realm of Supreme Masters?" Jenson asked excitedly. Due to the Shears having given good marketing before this, most of the major families already heard about the True Energy Pills and what they could yield. Both Jenson and Bernard came here just for this! The realm of the Supreme Masters was the first gateway into the practice of martial arts, and the most challenging obstacle to get past. Jenson was the heir to the Wicks' legacy, and even though he was not as talented as Harvey or even Anson, he was still skilled nonetheless, and just recently, after much hard work and effort, he managed to achieve the Peak Innate State. If he could get his hands on one of the True Energy Pills, he could easily become a member of the realm of Supreme Masters, and this would save him so much time! "That's right! Not only can the True Energy Pills help every martial artist transition
