Cynthia's beautiful eyes glared right at Ruth, but Ruth refused to take a step back at all.Both of them glared right at each other, and there seemed to be sparks between them. Neither of them were willing to take a step back.Right after that, both of them looked at Mister Zogg, saying, "Mister Zogg, are you going to sell, or not?""I-"Mister Zogg was completely stunned, and he stood there dumbfounded.Both Cynthia and Ruth were incredibly powerful people that he could not offend. No matter what he answered, his shop would be done for!"What are you staring at? Talk!" Both Cynthia and Ruth were incredibly Unhappy. They tossed their conflict into the hands of Mister Zogg."Please, spare me!"Mister Zogg was so scared that he started to kneel down and beg for mercy. He could not help but curse at the fact that those two women tossed their fight onto him!If the shop was really destroyed by them, what was he supposed to say to his boss?"No!""You have to tell us if you're
"Cynthia really pulled off a ruthless move this time!" Leon frowned bitterly at Cynthia's actions."What should we do now, Leon? How will the company produce cosmetics if we don't have the materials?" Iris inquired, her face filled with concern.Elegante's most valuable and promising products were the high-end cosmetics Leon created himself. The company would undoubtedly suffer massive losses if those high-end cosmetics were not available."Don't worry, I'll seek assistance from the Southern King. With his power and connections, he'll probably be able to help us source something," Leon said after a brief pause, his hopes resting solely on Vincent.Vincent was one of the underworld's two kings. He was in charge of half of Springfield's underworld and had various connections to the black markets. If it was something extremely valuable or rare, Vincent might not have been able to obtain it, but if it was just simple materials needed to make the cosmetics, Vincent should be fine!"Yes
Ruth could tell what Iris was worried about. He pursed her lips and looked at Leon in disdain. Iris and Cynthia's family backgrounds were no worse than hers, and their looks were on her level as well. She could not understand what those two women saw in a useless man like Leon!Sometimes, she wondered if there was something wrong with their eyes!"That's true."Iris blushed, realizing that she was being worried for no reason.It was just like Ruth said. Leon was just an orphan who had a divorce before. He was not some amazing treasure. Leon's looks were nothing incredible either. No matter how you looked at it, there were many young men in Springfield City who were much better than Leon.Only her and Cynthia were too stupid, falling for Leon for some reason.To other women, Leon was a completely worthless divorcee!On top of that, Ruth had everything from wealth to looks to terrifying potential. When it came to Ruth, she could get any man she wanted.How could Ruth possibly f
"Don't you know who's the one actually messing around?" Snow viciously glared at Leon.However, she knew she was no match for Leon, so she did not continue attacking."Did I somehow offend you?" Leon was even more confused at Snow's answer."What do you think? Cynthia loves you so much, why did you have to do that to her?" Snow said with a huff.Snow was invited to attend Leon and Cynthia's engagement, so she naturally knew of everything that happened.Furthermore, he knew that Leon was always close to the Shears, and knew that Cynthia really did love Leon.Yet, during the engagement, Leon actually betrayed Cynthia like that. It made her very unhappy."So you're protesting for Cynthia's sake!" Leon realized something. After that, he sighed, "Snow, I've definitely wronged Cynthia this time. I didn't hurt her on purpose. I did all of that because I had no other choice.""I don't care about that! I just know that Cynthia really does love you. She and the Shears have helped you s
Vincent answered quickly."Mister Poole, thank you so much," Leon thanked. He finally relaxed after dealing with the matter."We're no outsiders here. You don't have to be so polite. Leon, it's getting late. You rarely come over. Why don't you stay back for dinner?" FVincent said with a smile."There's no need."Leon wanted to reject it, but he was stopped by Vincent before he could finish."I haven't even thanked you for helping me get to the Overlord State last time. You have to say yes today. I want to properly toast you and thank you," Vincent insisted."Alright then."Leon did not want to embarrass Vincent, so he quickly agreed.…It was already past seven when Leon got home. Iris, Louisa and the others just finished dinner."Leon, you're back. How did it go?" Iris hurried over when she saw Leon."It's already settled. Mister Poole said he would have everything sent to the company in two days at the latest," Leon said with a smile."That's great."Iris was happy tha
Louisa already reached the late Acquired State, and was only a sliver away from the peak Acquired State.Iris was even better than Louisa. Iris was already at the peak Acquired State!Comparatively, Leon did not improve much at all. He was already at the peak of the Acquired State for a long time without any improvements.Of course, there was a reason his martial arts was still at that level. The first reason was because there was a gulf between the peak Acquired State and initial Innate State that was not easy to pass.He was also more focused on the sage arts, so he lagged behind in terms of martial arts.However, he was fortunate enough to be reasonably talented in martial arts, and he was even using an amazing Absolute Method. So, the rate of his improvements was much faster than anyone else.Even though he was still not at the initial Innate State, he was not too far away.He could even feel that he would probably only need another two or three days to reach that level!"A
That was not the important point. The important point was that Leon's relationship with the Wicks was always close. When Elegante managed to secure the contract with the Wicks, it was all thanks to Leon.Yet, Leon canceled the contract for no reason. It shocked Iris and Leon greatly!"Leon, what happened? Why would the Wicks suddenly cancel our agreement?" Iris asked in confusion."I don't know what happened either. Let me give Jenson a call."As Leon said that, he took out his phone."Hello, Mister Wolf. Are you calling me about the canceled agreement?"Jenson's voice was heard from the other end.He obviously knew what Leon wanted."That's right! Mister Wick, could you tell me why your company is suddenly canceling our agreement? Is there a problem with our company's products?" Leon asked.When they first started working with the Wick Group, Ashwin and Michale purposely added some harmful substances into the cosmetics to hurt him. Thankfully, Jenson noticed in time, or the W
"What do you plan on doing now?" Iris frowned, her mood slowly sank.With Cynthia's control of medicinal ingredients, Leon finally solved their problems after some difficulty. Yet, Cynthia did not relent. This time, Cynthia struck quite viciously, targeting Elegante's biggest client!That was not the important point. The important point was that Cynthia was clearly already determined to go for Leon. Cynthia might have other tricks up her sleeve!If Iris and Leon did not figure something out quickly, the situation would definitely get a lot worse!"I don't know what to do either," Leon shut his eyes painfully.The worst debt to repay in the world was debts of the heart. He owed Cynthia. So, he did not know how he should deal with what Cynthia was doing.Iris did not feel happy when she saw Leon's pained expression either.She was the one who constantly distrusted Leon. That ended up pushing Leon to Cynthia.However, she finally woke up in the end. She snatched Leon away from Cyn
