The requirements for that sort of ordinary jade were not as demanding as that for the core. At the very least, it had to be pea-green jadeites worth several thousand dollars.As Leon was not at all short on money, he spent about nine hundred thousand or so to buy those 18 pieces of finished white jadeite and then packed them all together with him.…After leaving the store, Leon walked toward the place where he parked his motorcycle.Within moments, he saw Brody and Marilyn approaching him menacingly with their two bodyguards."You're finally out, Leon. I've been waiting for you for ages!" Brody had a violent look on his face and a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth."What are you going to do, Brody?" Leon's face sank and he had a bad feeling."What do you think?""The other day's incident at the Civil Records Office and today's incident at the jade store are two scores that you and I are settling right here!" Brody grinned coldly. With a wave of his hand, his two bodyg
As soon as Marilyn said that, Leon delivered a thumping kick to one of the bodyguards in front of him.The crisp sound of cracking bones could be heard, and the bodyguard spurted out a mouthful of blood. His body was sent flying back about three or four meters away and fell heavily to the ground.The bodyguard felt as if his bones were crumbling apart, and he groaned miserably because he was in so much pain.At least five or six of his ribs were broken, and he could not get up from the ground!At that point, the other bodyguard attacked Leon and punched him in the face.Leon turned around, grabbed the fist, and grasped his opponent's arm before giving it a hard twist. A click was heard, and the opponent let out a blood-curdling scream as his arm broke due to the forceful twist.Then, Leon clasped the bodyguard's shoulder and seized the chance to give the opponent a shoulder throw.He then took one step forward, put his foot on his opponent's chest, and exuded a condescendingly a
"I've lived with your family for three years, Marilyn. Even if hadn't done anything that deserves credit, I have at least worked hard for you. But the way you're treating me makes me feel that you don't have a conscience at all! This slap is my way of getting even with you! From now on, our relationship will be completely cut off!" Leon's eyes were cold and stern, and his expression was more indifferent than anger.In his mind, he drew a clear line with Marilyn, and from then on, the two of them would become strangers who had nothing to do with each other!"How could you..."Marilyn was stunned. She covered her aching cheeks and looked at Leon in disbelief.There used to be a time when Leon was beaten and berated by the Mansons in addition to living a life that was worse than that of a dog.At long last, however, Marilyn finally understood that Leon's patience was not a sign of weakness. Once that ruthless spark in him was ignited, he could trample both her and Brody under his fee
It was only after pondering it for a brief moment that Iris decided to let Leon participate in the meeting, since his presence there would not affect them much.After dinner, Iris went back to her room and had some rest.Like the previous night, Leon quietly went to the top of the mountain out back and brought the jade with him. He took them out, laid them out according to the set pattern, and planted all 18 pieces of white jadeites in the soil. The Energy Convergence Circle was soon set up.The next step was to activate the core of the circle, which in turn activated the circle as well.Everything would seem just as usual if the core was not activated, and no one would be able to find the mystery that was hidden there.Leon then walked to the core and sat crossed-legged on the ground. He then took out the last piece of clear jadeite tablet and placed it at the circle's core.A gust of cold wind blew, and as soon as the Energy Convergence Circle was activated, the spiritual energ
"You… never learned how… to drive?" Ariel was surprised to hear that. She rolled her eyes and said, "Then why don't you trade it in for another motorcycle with a different color? Don't you feel embarrassed riding a pink motorcycle?""I didn't buy this motorcycle. Iris gave it to me..." Leon shrugged his shoulders.Iris would not just randomly gift stuff to men. It was the kind of treatment that no man could ever hope to get, so it made sense for Leon to hold on to the motorcycle so vehemently!"That explains it!" Ariel had a sudden realization and finally understood why Leon would have such a tacky motorcycle."What does the color of my motorcycle have anything to do with you anyway, Miss Summers? Why are you so fixated on it?" Leon asked curiously, wondering if Ariel was nagging him about it because she had nothing better to do."Because I can do whatever I want! Who are you to stop me?" A blush appeared on Ariel's pretty face and she glared at Leon fiercely before turning her he
Ariel made her displeasure known.The Elegante Group was involved in the fashion business, so there were many bright and attractive young women within the company. That Ariel could stand out from the crowd and be known as the second-most beautiful woman in the company was a testament to her excellence in all aspects!Going by her appearance and beauty alone, there were very few people who could surpass her within the entire Springfield City!Michael was still very far behind her in terms of stature!More importantly, Ariel's preference in men leaned heavily toward the dominant and assertive kind. Michael, on the other hand, was a mere pretty-faced individual who was not manly enough for her.Pigs would probably take to the skies before she would ever be attracted to Michael!"Yes, of course…" Michael smiled awkwardly. He glanced at Leon, who stood beside Ariel, and his expression changed as he remembered something. "Isn't this Mister Wolf from by the president's department?"Leo
Ariel was thunderstruck and her mind instantly became blank.It never occurred to her that what Michael said was true. She unknowingly became Leon's girlfriend!"Enough with that nonsense! Nothing is going on between us at all and he's not my boyfriend!" Ariel reprimanded the crowd angrily and tried her best to regain her composure.At long last, it finally occurred to her that everyone misunderstood her as being in a relationship with Leon because of the incident where Joseph was forced to leave the company. However, that was not her doing and she only took the blame for Iris's sake!Leon was also taken aback. He never thought that the trivial matter involving Joseph would lead to that big of a misunderstanding."You're all mistaken. I'm not Miss Summers's boyfriend, and she doesn't interest me..." Leon waved his hands again and again in an attempt to clear up the misunderstanding."What? Did you just say that I don't interest you?" Ariel pointed at him and questioned. Leon's wo
Leon was in a very somber mood after receiving that excruciatingly painful stomp from Ariel earlier, so one would naturally expect him to be pissed at Michael and shrug the man off before walking away."Don't act smug, kid! Just wait! This doesn't end here!" Michael fumed as he watched Leon's rear figure walking further and further away.Michael could not accept that a bumpkin like Leon led the race to win Ariel's heart, especially since the former wooed her for the greater part of a year only to be rebuffed!…A high-level meeting was held in the conference room that afternoon, which was already full of people when Leon arrived with Gracie. Almost everyone from the company's top brass where there, including sales director Michael.Michael never expected that Leon would be eligible to participate in the meeting, so from time t time, he shot hostile glances in Leon's direction.Moments later, the clacking of high heels was heard and Ariel entered the conference room with Iris.Th
