Harold continued to add oil to the fire."But-" Elder Young was still hesitant.He was the head of the Youngs, there was no way he did not know the threat they posed!However, Leon saved his life before. He already wrongly accused Leon once. If he targeted Leon again, it would be completely immoral!"Elder Young, don't worry. With the Dragon Corps around, there's no way we can kill Leon and the Shears! I just think that the Youngs will grow much stronger after I join you, and you'll stand at the top of the four families!"Then, you'll be able to summon up the other families to work together and destroy Cynthion Group or even threaten Leon to split the profits. That would be enough! We can let Leon and the Shears monopolize everything no matter what!" Harold advised, but there was a cold glint in his eyes.His target was not as simple as just Leon!"Dad, I think the Northern King is right! We can't just let Leon and the Shears grow. Otherwise, our profits might suffer. We might e
"Iris, the Northern King is right. No matter how you look at it, Jacob is the best choice!" Gilbert hurriedly said.The four great families were always competitors. None of them ever regarded the other highly, so there were never any marriages between them.Other than the four great families, the strongest forces in Springfield City were the two Kings. The Northern King was even stronger than the Southern King!Both Theodore and Anson were known playboys as well. They were not very reliable.However, Jacob was different. He never had a bad reputation, and he was seen as a better man than Theodore and Jacob.In the end, in terms of political marriages for the Youngs, Jacob was the best choice in Springfield City."Iris, even if you have no feelings for Jacob right now, feelings can be slowly built up. I think you can just get engaged to him for a moment, and the two of you can try dating for a bit," Elder Young said in a low voice. He felt like Jacob was a decent man too.When it
Elder Young tried very hard to convince Iris."That's right! Iris, both your grandfather and I just want the best for me!" Gilbert nodded."The best for me? That's what you always say! If you did want the best for me, Leon and I wouldn't be in this state!" Iris started to cry from her frustration. Her tears constantly flowed out.At that moment, all the sadness she suppressed in her heart exploded!"You had no evidence back then, but you forcibly split me and Leon apart! Now, for the sake of the family, you're planning on sacrificing me, giving me to a man I don't love! Have you ever thought about how I feel?" Iris get sadder as she spoke. She could do nothing to stop the tears from falling down her face.She thought that her grandfather loved her, and would not use her marriage for the sake of profit!Yet, she was blinded. She was constantly disappointed by her grandfather!"Iris, that's not what I mean. I'm not planning on sacrificing you for profit. I just want you to start a
It was a high-end brand, and they had all sorts of different clothes for men and women inside. Each one of them was quite expensive.In the men's clothing area."Leon, why don't you try this suit on?" Snow had a glint in her eyes as she took out a blue suit for Leon."Aren't you here to buy clothes? Why are you making me try on something for a man? Are you planning on buying something for Fane?" Leon was surprised. He thought that Snow probably asked him to try it on because she wanted to buy it for Fane."No, I'm planning on buying something for you!" Snow said."Buying something for me? Why would you do that for no reason?" Leon was shocked."You helped me teach Jacob a lesson, then you saved my mother. I plan on buying a few clothes to thank you," Snow said with a smile."There's no need, it wasn't anything much," Leon tried to refuse."What do you mean by that? You've done so much for our family, and you refused my father's reward back then. I just want to buy you a few clo
With how suddenly Leopard called him, he thought it was because Lily's family was in trouble!"No, it's a personal problem," Leopard said apprehensively.Even though Leon and Leopard already resolved their problems, the two of them were not that friendly with each other. He did not know if Leon would help him, so he was not confident at all."Oh, alright. Let me know your location. I'll go over right now."Leon was much more relaxed when he found out that it was not lily's family.Of course, since Leopard agreed to look after Lily's family, he had no reason to refuse this request. He planned on going over to see what the matter was."Thank you, Mister Wolf,"Leopard was elated as he gave Leon the address.After hanging up, Leon said to Snow, "Snow, I have something I need to get done right now. Why don't I send you home?""What is it? Will it be fun? Let me go with you."Snow said with a smile.Snow vaguely caught some parts of the conversation earlier, and it piqued her int
She was the daughter of the Southern King. She knew very well how the power in the underworld was distributed. Mistcloud Mountain's area was more secluded in Springfield City. The ones who were there were usually insignificant. With who she was, she would naturally look down on such a person!If it was not because of Leon, she would never even have spared Leopard a glance!Leopard felt a bit awkward at Snow's attitude, but she did not dare to voice any displeasure since Snow was with Leon."Mister Wolf, I've already prepared a feast inside. Please, follow me." Leopard motioned for them to go inside.In a luxurious room, Leon, Leopard, and the others sat down.Leopard had the staff bring in the food."Leopard, why were you in such a hurry to look for me?" Leon said directly."Mister Wolf, it's like that. I have a rival around the area called Chimp.""Recently, Chimp joined one of the four Tigers, the Laughing Tiger, Riker. His strength greatly increased, and he's been pushin
"Everyone in the underworld knows that the two Kings are on opposing sides. Since your rival joined the Laughing Tiger and the Northern King, you can join the Southern King and ask him for help. Wouldn't that fix things? Why would you need to go all the way to the Youngs?!" Snow rolled her eyes and said.Her looks were incredibly stunning, and she was incredibly sexy as well.Just that eye-rolls was incredibly seductive.Leopard and his subordinates could feel their hearts racing just from that, completely defeated by Snow's beauty.In the end, Leopard's will was a bit stronger. He was the first to snap back to reality, "Join the Southern King? Miss Poole, you're thinking about things too simply. The Southern King is one of the great figures in the underworld. He stands at the top of Springfield City! I'm just an insignificant figure in the underworld. Even if I wanted to join someone like him, there's no way he would even bother with me," Leopard smiled bitterly."If you don't tr
"Even if the two of us work together, we won't be able to beat them!" Leopard was more and more concerned as he spoke.He fought Leon before and knew that Leon was just a bit stronger than him. Leon should not even be at the peak Acquired State.Leon's skills would not be useful at all!Chip even had the Laughing Tiger behind him. If Leon got involved, it would just be sending Leon to an early grave!"A peak Acquired State expert?" Leon and Snow exchanged a look, and they could not resist laughing.After what happened at Cynthion Group's sales drive, Leon was already recognized as the strongest among the younger generation of Springfield City. He was already at a terrifying advanced Supreme Master level!Even peak Innate State experts would be killed with just one blow from Leon!"What are you laughing at? Am I not right?" Leopard was getting confused by Snow's laughter."I'm just laughing because you're too stupid! Even someone at the peak Acquired State is an expert now? It's
