"I'm not dead? How's that possible?" Iris gasped in disbelief, but soon recovered. "Leon, were you the one who saved me?""Yeah. I told you I'd bring you back, and I did," Leon held Iris close and shed tears of joy.He promised to save Iris multiple times, but he was not confident at all since Iris's injury was extremely severe, but the gods were merciful and he had a miracle to his pleasant surprise."I see. But, what about Cynthia Shear? I thought that you were getting engaged to her," Iris thought back to what happened before she committed suicide."I've called off the engagement," Leon's heart sank when he recalled the sorrowful, yet hopeful look in Cynthia's eyes when she left, his excitement for Iris's revival weakening at the memories."What?" Iris was shocked, but soon remembered what happened once she tried to recall.She remembered hearing Leon promised that he would get back together with her, which gave her the hope to live."Leon, did you say that you would get back
She was a kind-hearted person all along and she truly regretted hurting Cynthia. However, love was always selfish in nature and though she felt remorse, she would never allow Leon to go back to Cynthia."Forget it. Iris, you're weak right now and you need rest. Let's head back down," Leon said, setting his thoughts about Cynthia aside."Okay." She struggled to get up with Leon's help."I'll carry you." Leon bent down and lifted Iris up, before heading down the mountain.Iris blushed shyly and buried her face into the crook of his neck happily....Meanwhile, inside the mansion.Gilbert, Louisa and Ariel waited for Leon to return to the yard.Time flew and over an hour passed, but Leon was nowhere to be found and they were all worried."What's going on? It's been so long. Why isn't he back yet? Has there been an accident or something?" Gilbert muttered in frustration."I don't think so. If Leon's capable of reviving Iris, I'm sure he can wake her up!" Louisa said confidently.
Both Ariel and Louisa were excited that Leon came back."Iris-"Before Leon could respond, Gilbert interrupted him furiously."I knew it! I know that you are all talk, Leon Wolf! You couldn't have the ability to wake Iris! You bast*rd! How dare you get her killed?! I'm going to make you pay!" Gilbert roared when he saw Iris laying still in Leon's arms. He assumed that Leon failed to wake Iris and that Iris might already be dead.In the midst of his sorrow, he gathered his true energy in his fists and was about to charge at Leon."Dad, I'm fine," Iris muttered sheepishly as she looked up with a blush on her cheeks, signaling Leon to put her down.Though she got back together with Leon, she still felt shy to act so intimate with him in front of others and hid her face because of that."Oh my god! You're awake, Iris! You really are!""That's great!"Louisa and Ariel were over the moon.Though they both trusted Leon, reviving the death seemed impossible and they were shaken to th
Never did he imagine that his grandfather would help Leon escape from the Fields instead of taking the chance to eliminate Leon.Anson did not dare to defy George in public and decided to suppress his anger at the time. However, as soon as he returned home, he immediately gathered a few martial artists and hurried over to seek revenge against Leon.Since Leon left with Iris in his arms, it was not hard to guess that Leon came to Dragonbay Villas."Anson, you've mistaken. Iris-"Before Gilbert could explain, Anson turned and immediately spotted Leon standing in the distance."Leon Wolf, so you really are here! I'm going to kill you and avenge Iris!" Anson glared daggers at Leon, but hesitated when he remembered that Leon reached the Peak Supreme State."Like you are capable of that!" Leon scoffed.He knew that Anson misunderstood, but did not bother to explain himself.Anson was one of Iris's many pursuers who had conflicts with Leon in the past and Leon saw no point in wasting
Everyone witnessed Iris's death at the engagement party for Leon and Cynthia, yet Iris stood before them, alive and well; they paled as though they saw a ghost."Shut your mouth, Anson Collins! Iris is alive. Stop calling her a ghost!" Louisa shouted in annoyance."What?! Is Iris alive? H- How's that possible?!" Anson froze in shock.He saw Iris committing suicide with his own eyes and he could not believe that she was still alive."Anson, what Louisa said is true. Leon cured Iris and woke her up," Gilbert explained."He cured her? Is he even human?" Anson gaped.The other Collins turned to stare at Leon in disbelief as well.Leon mentioned that he would revive Iris multiple times during the engagement party, but everyone only took it as a joke, yet Leon somehow managed to create a miracle that brought Iris back to life.Such skills were unheard of and the Collins were shaken to the core.Soon, Anson recovered from the shock and said, "This is great! Thank goodness!" He burst
Only the gods would await her and Leon in the future....In the Collins Mansion, Leon arrived by car to thank their help and to fulfil his promise to George.Leon was led into the main hall by one of the guards and soon spotted George.After a brief exchange of pleasantry, they both took their seats."Thank you for your help for what happened the last time!" Leon expressed his gratitude sincerely."It's nothing. Allow me to cut to the chase. Are you here to fulfill your promise, Leon?" George asked, his eyes glittering with excitement."Yes! May I know which martial artist I will be assisting? Please get him here and I'll do my best!" Leon said."Very well. Hang on," George clapped his hands and shouted at the back of the hall, "Ruth, come out!"Ruth stepped out, dressed in a skin-tight red outfit."Elder Collins, what's the meaning of this?" Leon questioned in confusion."Leon, I want you to make Ruth into an Overlord!" George smiled slyly."What?" shocked, Leon stood fro
"I can give you three years' time and so long as you succeed in making Ruth an Overlord within that period of time, that's more than enough," George said."But," Leon hesitated.He saw what a genius Ruth was and with three years' time, there was a high chance that he could get Ruth to the Overlord State; however, his deal with George was only to assist a Semi-Overlord within the Collins to reach the Overlord State.All Leon had to do was fulfill his promise and he saw no point in wasting his time to help Ruth as he would not gain anything from it.He would have to be a fool to agree to George’s terms."No! Elder Collins, I can't do it. Please pick someone else!" Leon said."It's not that you can't, but you won't, right?" George did not give up and instead shot Leon a mysterious grin. "Leon, why don't we add another deal on top of the one we have?""What?" Leon felt chills down his spine and thought to himself, 'What does he want now?'"If I'm not mistaken, you seem to have plen
George deadpanned. He wanted Ruth to move to Dragonbay Villas for the time-being so that it would be more convenient for Leon to help with her training."Oh, I see. You scared me for a moment there," Ruth blushed when she realized she misunderstood what her grandfather meant to say.Leon defeated and injured her before all the families in Springfield City during the sales drive organized by Cynthion Group and she was humiliated, so she did not like Leon at all and was reluctant to move in with him.However, before she could protest, Leon took a step forward and said, "Let's not, Elder Collins! I'll visit frequently to help with Miss Collins' training from now on. I don't think it would be appropriate for her to move into my place!" Leon said.Iris owned the mansion he lived in Dragonbay Villas and since he got back together with her, he should not be bringing home another woman."Why you!" Ruth gritted out furiously at the reluctant expression on Leon's face.She was the eldest u
