All employees were shocked by the news and envied Leon for his luck; while some of the male employees who worshiped Iris felt depressed that Leon stole the goddess of their hearts....Meanwhile, inside the president's office.Iris ordered a few guards to move another desk and placed it next to her desk, so that Leon and her could work side by side."Leon, you've just become the president and you might not be familiar with some of the things about the company's operation. I'll work next to you for a few days and teach you a few things. Once you get the hang of it, I'll move to another office," Iris said with a smile."Yeah, sure. I'd love that!" Leon chirped gleefully.Back when he first got into Elegante Group, it was his dream to work next to Iris and be close to her every single day and his wish finally came true after everything that they went through.He desperately wished that he could cling onto her and never let go."Quit messing around!" Iris blushed and smiled sweetly
In the afternoon, the two left the office to search for a new supplier....Zerbe Pharmacy was one of the biggest medical ingredients suppliers other than the Shears and organized a chain of drug stores.Leon and Iris hurried to one of the bigger branches by car and met with the person in charge: a mid-aged man in his fifties, named Zogg.Leon cut to the chase as soon as he met the person in charge. "Mister Zogg, I'm the president of Elegante Group. We'd like to partner with your firm to secure the supply of medical ingredients. Here's the list of ingredients and the amount we need. Please have a look." Leon took out a document and handed it to Mister Zogg."Sure!" Mister Zogg accepted the documents and glanced through them, before calling another employee over to check on the list. Soon, they started naming the price of the ingredients requested by Leon."Mister Zogg, isn't that too expensive?"Both Leon and Iris scowled, as the price quoted by Mister Zogg was at least thirty p
"Don't you dare sell it to him!" A cold voice came from behind them and Cynthia stormed in with Spencer and Stephen."Miss Shear? Why are you here?" Shocked, Mister Zogg hurried over and bowed at Cynthia.The Shears were the biggest medical supplier in the area and the head of the industry, so Cynthia made numerous appearances on behalf of her family.Though Mister Zogg was merely a branch manager without any power, he saw Cynthia twice during business summits and recognized her.Cynthia turned to look at Mister Zogg coldly. "Are you the person in charge here?""Yes. My name's Zogg," Mister Zogg smiled politely and was about to introduce himself, when she interrupted him."Mister Zogg, I forbid you from working with Elegante Group!" Cynthia commanded."Why?" Mister Zogg was shocked. His eyes darted between Cynthia and Leon, before realizing that Cynthia came for Elegante Group.However, the Shears were one of the Four Major Families and as their eldest unwed daughter, Cynthia w
All the Shears needed to do was move a finger and Elegante Group would be destroyed.Leon felt conflicted that Cynthia destroyed his deal with Zerbe Pharmacy; he never expected to find himself in such a situation with Cynthia despite not seeing her for a while."Cynthia, what are you doing?" Leon sighed."What do you think? Don't you know what you've done?!" Cynthia spatted coldly as she glared at Leon.Leon called off the engagement a few days ago and she understood that he did so to save Iris, and she did not blame him for it; however, he immediately got back together with Iris and abandoned her even after Iris survived, and Cynthia could not forgive him for doing so.There was only a thin line between love and hate and all her love for Leon instantly transformed into resentment, which was why she terminated the contract with Elegante Group and came to stop Leon from finding another supplier."Cynthia, I know that I've broken your heart. I'm sorry," Leon said apologetically."
What shocked him the most was that Leon rejected Cynthia.However, seeing how Iris was more beautiful compared to Cynthia, Mister Zogg recalled the way Cynthia and Leon addressed Iris and came to a sudden realization that the woman standing next to Leon was the most beautiful woman in all of Springfield CIty, Iris Young.Mister Zogg was shaken to the core.Though he never had the honor to see Iris with his own eyes, rumors of her beauty never left his ears and it was shocking to see how the two most beautiful women were fighting over a man.Instantly, he felt like he went insane and was hallucinating. "Leon, if you insist on being so heartless, then don't blame me for what I'm about to do!" Cynthia held back her tears, her eyes filled with resentment once again as she decided to bury all her love for Leon."Spencer, Stephen, teach this man a lesson by breaking his leg!" Cynthia commanded.She spent a long time with Leon and knew better than anyone that Leon was merely in the In
Cynthia instantly fell into a hysterical state as her heart sank."Leon, are you okay?" Iris paled and she immediately hurried over to help Leon off the ground."Damn it! Have you gone mad, Leon? Why didn't you dodge my attack?" Cynthia roared, tears scrolling down her cheeks. For a moment, she desperately wanted to run over to check on Leon, but stilled when she saw Iris beside him."Are you done now, Cynthia?" Leon sighed bitterly."No! I'll hate you for as long as you refuse to come back to me, even if it means I'll resent you for the rest of my life!" She gritted out as she sobbed helplessly."I'm sorry, Cynthia. I owe you this. If beating me will make you feel better, just carry on until you are satisfied!" Leon said with resignation."Fine! Remember that you said that! I'll kill you right now!" She raised her arm in rage, her true energy gathering on the palm of her hand."Do it, then. I won't fight back!" Leon closed his eyes and refused to move."You!" Cynthia's heart s
"Damn it!" Leon's expression darkened when he realized what Cynthia intended to do. He waved his arm to retrieve his spiritual energy, but it was too late and the aftermath of the attack slammed hard against Cynthia.Cynthia paled and backed away as blood scrolled down the corner of her mouth.Leon was quick to withdraw his energy, or Cynthia would have died."Cynthia, are you okay? I didn't mean to injure you," He asked hastily.He was only a man and despite being in love with Iris, he spent days and nights with Cynthia, who helped him on countless occasions, so he did start to develop feelings for her and treated her like one of his best friends.He already felt extremely guilty for calling off the engagement and was frustrated at himself for injuring her by accident."Enough with your pretenses! You might as well kill me and that would have been better than to let me suffer alive!" Cynthia roared hatefully.She would rather die at Leon's hands or in his arms so that she could
If Walter came, Leon knew that he would be destined to die; but he did not fear Theodore at all."Don't be so confident just yet, Leon! I've brought two Semi-Overlords with me today! As talented as you might be, you are still going to die today!" Theodore sneered.Two old men in their sixties stepped forward and guarded the exit on both ends to prevent Leon from escaping."Two Semi-Overlords? You Fields must think really highly of me!" Leon's heart sank.He was only in the Intermediate Supreme State and even under the effect of the Dragon Pill, he would only reach the Peak Supreme State at best, which was a huge difference from the Semi-Overlord State.It would be hard enough for him to survive under a Semi-Overlord, not to mention facing two at the same time."Prepare to die, Leon!" Theodore snorted and waved his hand, signaling the Semi-Overlords to fire up their true energy in preparation to attack."Stop!" Seeing how Leon was at a disadvantage, Cynthia roared and stood befor
