Yet, at that moment, Elder Young told her that Leon was wrongly accused.There was no way she could accept such a cruel truth!"Iris, did you hear that? I already told you that Leon was misunderstood, but you refused to believe it! So, are you finally willing to believe me?" Louisa jumped up and said with a huff.Her words were just like salt in the wound for Iris. Iris collapsed on the spot."Why…""Why did this happen…"Iris immediately fell into despair, and she was so sad that her tears started to fall.She started to cry on the table.She suffered the whole time since she broke up with Leon. She would constantly think of Leon.She thought that Leon was a sinister and petty person, so she bitterly accepted it for the sake of the family.However, everything was false, and she wrongly blamed Leon!Her moment of stupidity did not only deeply hurt herself, it deeply hurt Leon as well!At that moment, she seemed to feel like her heart was stabbed!"Iris, I'm sorry, it's all
"That's right!""Iris, just think about it in detail. During the sales drive, the other families kept on offering so many different conditions to Leon, but he rejected all of them without any hesitation.""Yet, he started to hesitate when I did it!" "Do you still remember that?" Elder Young said with a smile."Yes, I remember. He seemed to hesitate a bit back then," Iris said after some thought."Exactly! I think he hesitated because he still likes you. It's just that he did not want to be someone who would abandon his principles, so he chose to work with the Shears in the end!" Elder Young said."That might be true," Iris felt much better.She realized that she was the one Leon liked, and Leon did not choose Cynthia, so she felt much more relieved."Iris, getting back together is something that happens more easily if you do it faster. You need to find Leon as soon as possible, and avoid any delay!" Elderly Young did not forget to say.There were two reasons he was in such a
"On top of that, I was the one who didn't trust Leon enough. I can't say I'm not responsible for it at all."Iris took a deep breath, and she seemed to have decided as she said, "It's already too late today. I'll go look for Leon tomorrow morning and ask him to get back together…""That sounds good."Elder Young and Gilbert both let out sighs of relief."Iris, we were the ones at fault this time. When you meet Leon, tell him that we're sorry. I hope we'll be able to forgive us," Elder Young said.The last time, they really crossed the line when they kicked Leon out of the house.He should be the one to apologize to Leon, but he was still the head of the Youngs. He was someone incredibly noble, so he could not bring himself to apologize to Leon.He was forced to ask Iris to do it instea.d"I understand…" Iris answered. After that, she left the house with Louisa, returning to her own home.When Iris Left, Gilbert asked with some worry, "Dad, do you think Leon will agree to get b
Even though she did not go to the sales drive, she still knew how important alchemy was to the major families of Springfield City.On top of that, Leon managed to become so strong at such a young age. He was an incredibly rare martial arts genius among the younger generation of Springfield City!She could not help but feel relieved that she managed to seize her chance and make Elder Young break up with Iris and Leon.Otherwise, if Leon married into the Youngs, Leon would be a tremendous threat to her son taking over the family business!"Iris broke up with Leon in large part because of the two of us. However, dad already convinced Iris to ask Leon to get back together tomorrow. I hope this thing goes smoothly, or it won't be good for the two of us," Gilbert said with a sigh."Get back together? Why would you get back together? Aren't you worried that Leon's after the family?" Daisy's expression changed.She was the one who wanted to see Iris and Leon get back together the least.
There was a cold glint in Daisy's eyes, but she quickly hid it.…The next morning, Iris drove to Cynthion Group alone.She thought of giving Leon a call to ask Leon out, but she felt like it would be more sincere if she went to look for Leon herself. After all, she hurt Leon too much.Outside Cynthion Group, Iris felt quite unsettled.Even though she already determined to come here to try and get back with Leon, she was getting anxious thinking about how she would meet Leon soon. She was also afraid, worried that Leon would reject her.She hesitated for a moment.In the end, she summoned up the courage to walk into Cynthion Group.In the president's office, there was a knock on the door. The secretary walked in after Cynthia's approval.Seeing no trace of Leon around, the secretary was curious, since Cynthia was the only one there, "Miss Shear, is Mister Wolf not here?"'Oh, Leon is busy with something this morning, so he's not around," Cynthia said briefly.Leon managed to
"Where is Leon?" Iris broke the silence first. She thought about turning around to leave when she saw that Leon was not there.However, it was not easy for her to summon up the courage to come here, so she was a bit reluctant to leave just like that."You don't need to care about where Leon is. I just want to know what you're doing here when you've already broken up," Cynthia said with a steely look on her face."Why do you care about why I'm looking for him?" Iris said coldly, regaining her noble and cold demeanor."Iris, don't think I don't know why you're here. If I'm not wrong, you're probably here to get back together with Leon, right?" Cynthia said coldly.A lot of the major families fought over Leon during the sales drive, including the Youngs. Elder Young even offered Iris's hand to Leon.However, Leon was not swayed.The Youngs just lost out, and Iris was already there looking for Leon. Barring anything else, she was either there to recruit Leon or get back together w
To dispel any notions Iris had of getting back together with Leon, and to have Iris completely give up, she gave Leon a call.When the call went through, she turned on the speaker."Hello, Cynthia, do you need me for something?"Leon's voice was heard from the other end."Leon, do you still remember how we got a room at the hotel in Seacove City and spent the night there together?" Cynthia deliberately asked vaguely. She emphasized the words spending the night together to make sure Iris heard them."I remember. W-why are you suddenly asking about that?" Leon was surprised.He was refining the Dragon Pill at the back of the Shears's residence, but Cynthia's question caught him off guard. He did not know what to say.He spent the night with Cynthia in the hotel at Seacove City that night. It was the truth. He could not deny it.A room? Spent the night?Iris felt like she was struck by lightning, and her mind went completely blank.That was not the main point. The important thin
"I-I heard it all!""I-I wish you two happiness."Iris was on the verge of collapsing, but she forced herself to keep the tears in her eyes.No matter what, she was the head of the four great beauties of Springfield City, and she was the heiress of the Youngs. She had her pride and dignity.With her pride, even if she lost to Cynthia, she would not reveal any weakness in front of Cynthia.As for Leon, feelings could not be forced. Since Leon was already with Cynthia, she had no other choice but to give up.As Cynthia said, she could not do anything so immoral.There was no way she would be a mistress and ruin a relationship. She was of too noble birth for that. Otherwise, she and the Youngs would be the laughingstock of Springfield City!After that, she bore the pain in her heart and left without turning her head around.The moment she left the office, she could no longer control her tears as they fell without a sound.…At the mountain behind Shear Mansion, Leon continued t
"Miss Morrison, I would like to thank you for saving my life," Iris said as she approached Renee's bed. She meant to thank Renee for having saved her so narrowly from death during their encounter with one of Brahma's clones, which was why she lingered in Renee's room even after everyone left. "Miss Young, if you would truly like to return the favor, there is something you can do for me," Renee said, biting her lip as though what she was about to say was an excruciatingly difficult decision to make."What is it?" Iris asked, although she felt like she already knew what was the answer. "I would like to join you in being Leon's companions," Renee said with an expectant look. She harbored feelings toward Leon for some time now but refrained from competing against Iris and Cynthia, knowing there was no way she could win. However, she had an epiphany after her narrow escape from death and realized that there was so much more to life than competing with other women over a man. Therefor
"Nothing is impossible! It's high time you accept your fate, you old git! Take this! The Phoenix Sky Fist!" Leon merely scoffed at him. The next moment, he directed one last attack at Wulfric in the form of his most powerful move—the Phoenix Sky Fist, a sage technique belonging to the Heavenly Class!A cloud of pulsating energy charged straight toward Wulfric, without any mercy toward his cries of horror!Its sole intent was to destroy him and put an end to this battle!"No—" Wulfric let out a bloodcurdling scream as he watched, defenseless, as the Phoenix Sky Fist soared toward him. His first instinct was to leap out of harm's way, but Leon was far too powerful for him and anticipated this beforehand. Not to mention the Phoenix Sky Fist was one of the most powerful moves belonging to the Heavenly Class, and there was no possible way he could escape from its wrath.Wulfric's limp body only left a few feet off the ground when the Phoenix Sky Fist crashed into him, rendering his body
"Haha! I've finally attained the Saint State! Now it's time for you to die, you old git!" A glimmer of malice flashed through Leon's eyes. When he fixated his gaze on Wulfric's face, it sent a shudder down Wulfric's entire body, for Leon's eyes were like two pits of deep, dark, sinister hatred. "How cocky of you to say that, you twat! So what if you attained the Saint State? You haven't even got time to harness your powers yet, so you're no match for me! Take this!" Wulfric scoffed, taking no notice of Leon's threats at all. Then, without another moment's hesitation, he sent a powerful surge of energy pummeling Leon's way, intending to destroy Leon while his defenses were low!"He's right. So what if he's attained the Saint State? He can't even control his powers properly," the rest of the Chanters all agreed, and felt rather relieved by this. The glimmer of hope that ignited briefly within Pierre, Zach, and the rest was immediately doused after hearing the Chanters' words. Wulf
"Hahaha! This ends here—once and for all!" Wulfric broke out into a manic cackle of laughter upon seeing Pierre's defeat. The defeat of Pierre, Zach, and his two lackeys had no doubt instilled a newfound triumph in him, for the four of them combined were his greatest opponents thus far, and now that he rendered them powerless, there was no longer anyone in his way!Not even Leon, Percival, Alastair, or the rest of their comrades could defeat him! He and the Chanters would go on, unstopped, to dominate the world!One could only imagine his ecstasy at finally fulfilling his dream at long last!"All hail Master Chanter!""All hail Master Chanter!""All hail Master Chanter!" Aiken and the rest of the Chanters erupted into thunderous applause and cheers of sheer elation. "Oh no!""We can't possibly stand a chance!" Percival, Alastair, and the rest on the good side felt their hearts sink at the thought of their impending doom. Although they outnumbered the Chanters by a significant m
Gulp!Taking advantage of the moment, Leon decisively took out a Holy Spirit Pill and swallowed it. Initially, he intended to use an Essential Detox Pill to help Pierre, Zach, and the other two Semi-Saint State fighters counteract the poison. However, with Pierre injured by Wulfric and Zach along with the other two severely wounded and out of combat, even if he cured them, their side was still doomed to defeat.In this desperate situation, he could only take a gamble. He hoped that, with the breakthrough signs he felt in his martial arts bottleneck, the Holy Spirit Pill would help him break through the sage arts barrier or raise his power level to the Great Crossing Phase. This might be their only chance at victory."Mister Wolf, as long as there's life, there's hope. I'll try my best to hold off Wulfric. You must escape now and find a way to avenge us later."Pierre, enduring his injuries and the poison, stood up with a determined look on his face. He knew that their side was alre
"You're courting death!"Wulfric, enraged by Leon's fierce attack and the slaying of Central Boss, had no choice but to halt his assault on Pierre and the other three momentarily. He turned and unleashed a powerful palm strike, its overwhelming force aimed squarely at Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist.Boom!The collision between Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist and Wulfric's attack was explosive. In an instant, Wulfric's strike shattered Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist, and its residual force hurtled toward Leon."Not good!"Leon’s expression changed drastically as he rapidly tried to evade. However, with Wulfric's Saint State power level, evading was futile. No matter where he ran, he was unable to get out of the attack range. The residual force of Wulfric's true energy struck Leon, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.Cough! Cough!As Leon hit the ground, a wave of intense pain surged through his chest, causing him to cough up two mouthfuls of blood. It was clear he suffered significa
Whoosh!Compared to Percival and Alastair's heavy hearts, Leon remained relatively calm. In the past, he killed Poisonwielder and specifically crafted a potent antidote, the Essential Detox Pill, to counteract Reaper's Breath.He happened to have a few dozen of these pills on him. Though Pierre and the others were poisoned by Reaper's Breath, as long as Leon could get the antidote to them in time, they still stood a chance to win.With this in mind, Leon did not waste any time. He stopped fighting with Central Boss, leaped up, and quickly rushed toward Pierre and the others to deliver the antidote."Leon, are you planning to run away? Well, do you think it's going to be that easy?" Central Boss misunderstood Leon's actions, thinking he intended to escape. Given how much he hated Leon, he was not going to let Leon get away so easily.Without a second thought, Central Boss dashed forward, resolutely blocking Leon once again. With Wulfric having reversed the situation and forcing Pie
"Pierre, you have pushed me to this! Since that's the case, don't blame me for what I'm going to do next! You all can go to hell!" Wulfric's expression turned grim when he saw the Chanter fighters in a dire and dangerous situation. He knew he had to end this battle quickly to avoid significant casualties among the Chanter descendants.Thus, he decided not to hold back. He waved his two hands, releasing two clouds of white mist that surged forward, engulfing Pierre, Zach, and the other two. The white mist transformed into a flurry of powder, like a shower of flowers, enveloping the four of them."What's this?""This is bad, it's poison!"Realizing the unusual nature of the white powder, Pierre and Zach were alarmed.Immediately, the four of them held their breath and swiftly retreated, trying to escape the range of the white mist and powder. Unfortunately, it was too late! The white powder and mist seeped everywhere, and being too close to Wulfric, they already inhaled a signific
"How dare a loser like you be so arrogant? I'll teach you to be humble!"Leon sneered contemptuously. Central Boss clashed with him twice before, each time ending with Central Boss being injured and fleeing. Thus, Leon did not take his attack seriously at all.Without hesitation, he pointed a finger and unleashed the Advanced Earth Class sage technique, Earthly Plunder. Sharp and fierce energy condensed at his fingertip, roaring as it met Central Boss's attack head-on!Bang!Leon's Earthly Plunder clashed solidly with Central Boss's Soul-Piercing Claw in a violent collision. However, unlike previous encounters, this time Leon's technique did not break through Central Boss's attack; instead, it was shattered by it!Not only that! The Dragon Pill he recently took did not fully manifest itself yet, so not only did Central Boss's Soul-Piercing Claw shatter Leon's Earthly Plunder but also sent him staggering back.Leon struggled to regain his footing, retreating three or four steps be
