"Damn it! You Fields just won't give up! Leon's heart sank.The Fields were one of the Four Major Families with enormous network and abundant resources; they had at least two Overlords and a number of Semi-Overlords, and Leon knew that the chances of him escaping alive were slim.Both Vincent and Quinton paled as well.The Fields' interference posed a great threat and it was impossible for them to win. However, Leon helped them both in the past and despite the devastated situation before them, they did not intend on leaving."Vincent Poole, Quinton Hunt, you must've a death wish! I will have your lives for daring to side with Leon today!" Harold laughed arrogantly.Vincent was his nemesis for years and he was crossed by Quinton over the Pure Energy Pills, so he fully intended on using the Fields to eliminate them all so that they paid for defying him."Enough chit-chatting, Northern King! Let's get rid of Leon!" Walter narrowed his eyes and charged toward Leon at the speed of lig
"George Collins!" Leon was surprised that George would help him, and he was not the only one; even the Collins, especially Anson, were stunned.The Collins formed an alliance with Harold and the Fields and just as everyone thought that George would take the opportunity to eliminate Leon, he saved Leon instead, which was unexpected."What's going on?""I thought that the Collins were Leon's enemies as well? Why would Elder Collins help him?"...The others were all shocked, unable to comprehend why George would help Leon."George, what's the meaning of this?" Walter recovered from the initial shock and questioned sharply."Nothing much, Walter. I just think that bullying a junior with such a big group is a disgrace, and I can't stand to watch it!" George said righteously."Why you! Bullsh*t!" Walter roared.The Collins attempted to suppress Leon during the sales drive of Cynthion Group and it was shameless for George to accuse others of bullying a junior."Elder Collins, stop
George was not a greedy man and only requested that Leon create one Overlord for the Collins.Once that was achieved, the Collins would have three Overlords and surpass the other families, which would bring him closer to ruling over Springfield City."Um, okay. I promise that I will!" Leon hesitated for a moment, before agreeing.He had seven Pure Energy Pills left in his possession and based on his experience with Vincent, he could create two more Overlords.Since all George asked was for him to create one Overlord for the Collins, it was a reasonable exchange and he was in a critical condition, so he desperately needed the Collins' help.Leon realized that he had no choice but to agree to George’s terms."Haha! I'm sure this will be a pleasant experience for us both!" George burst out laughing.Though the Collins were involved in certain conflicts with Leon in the past, they all traced back to the disputes between Leon and Anson, and it did not require them to kill Leon.Sinc
"Damn it!""Leon's such a lucky guy to have escaped the Northern King, the Youngs, and the Fields.""Yeah, what a shame!"...The others were all dissatisfied as they watched Leon fade into the distance.Cynthia and Iris were two of the most beautiful women in town, but one committed suicide for Leon and the other had her heart broken as a result of him.Because of this, most of the men despised Leon and wished to see his demise, but since Harold and the Fields had failed to kill Leon, they knew they had no chance and could only watch as Leon left."Stop!"Harold and the Fields all came to a halt when Leon left. Their sole goal was to eliminate Leon, and since he was no longer alive, there was no reason to continue fighting."George Collins, you selfish scum! I'll remember this! I'm going to make you pay!" Walter gritted his teeth furiously.The Fields saw Leon as their enemy, and George ruined his chance to eliminate Leon, so Walter was furious."Ha! I'm not afraid of you!
Most importantly, Leon already refused to get back together with Iris and Gilbert decided that he preferred Anson as his future son-in-law, so he was not at all pleased to see Leon."Uncle Gilbert, Iris is injured and I'm here to treat her," Leon said sheepishly, unable to see Gilbert's eyes.Gilbert was Iris's father, after all, and since Iris committed suicide because of him, Leon did not know how he could face Gilbert."What?!" Shocked, Gilbert focused on Iris, who laid in Leon's arms and soon noticed the blood stain before her chest.The dagger stabbed into her chest was removed by Leon, but the blood stain remained."Louisa, wh- what happened? What's wrong with Iris?" Gilbert paled, his voice trembling."Uncle, Iris tried to get back together with Leon and when rejected, she chose to commit suicide," Louisa sobbed."Commit suicide?" Gilbert felt as though he was struck by lightning.He only thought that his daughter was injured and did not expect her to be dead."Leon Wol
"No way. I'm staying right here to watch!" Gilbert said."I'm staying, too!" Louisa bit down on her lips.Both of them were too worried about Iris to walk away."Um, okay, then! Remember! It's fine for you to stay, but you need to stay as far away as possible and you mustn't interrupt me!" Leon said hesitantly.He could understand how they felt and did not force them to leave the room.Louisa nodded. "Of course. We won't bother you."Louisa, Gilbert and Ariel backed away to give Leon space and once everything was ready, Leon turned his attention to Iris, before pressing his fingers onto her compression points.His spiritual energy flowed through his fingers and into her body, gradually repairing the damaged internal circulation and muscles in her body.The promise he made during the engagement party gave Iris hope and as under his relentless effort, the last strand of life energy within her body began to respond to his treatment."Iris, can you hear me? Hang in there. Don't gi
Gilbert roared.He assumed that Leon could not save Iris and launched a punch against Leon at the speed of lightning."Uncle Gilbert, th- that's not what this is. Let me explain!" Startled, Leon tried to move away, but he ran out of spiritual energy and had no strength to fight back."Uncle, no!" Louisa paled and stood before Leon without hesitation to shield him from Gilbert's attack.Not wanting to injure Louisa, Gilbert came to a sudden halt and shouted, "Louisa, move out of the way. I'm going to kill him today!""Calm down, Uncle. It's impossible to revive the dead. Leon has already tried his best," Louisa’s eyes reddened.Leon collapsed and spat blood from trying to revive Iris, and since she did not believe that the dead could be revived, she was not hopeful from the very beginning.Since Leon failed, Louisa knew that she could only give up."Louisa, Uncle Gilbert, don't be sad just yet. Can you listen to what I have to say first? I didn't manage to wake her, but she's re
Though Iris was revived, she was still in a critical condition and could still die at any moment.Leon desperately needed to bring her to a place filled with spiritual energy to wake her as soon as possible.Fortunately, the peak of the back mountain was perfect.It was the place where Leon started his training, and not only was the peak filled with spiritual energy, he even buried jadeites to create an Energy Convergence Circle. With the circle's help, he was certain that he could save Iris."Okay. We'll follow you wherever you take Iris," Gilbert said."No. You can't go there. I'll take her there myself." Leon shook his head.Gilbert was on a wheelchair and both Louisa and Ariel were too frail to climb the mountain, so it would be easier for him to travel alone with Iris."Well, okay then."The three knew that they could not be of much help and gave up eventually.As soon as Leon recovered his strength, he carried Iris out of the mansion and hurried toward the mountain.Mea
