"You!" Ruth was shocked. She punched out and barely managed to stop Leon's first attack. After that, she hurriedly retreated, barely avoiding Leon's second blow.Leon pressed on his attack, immediately catching up to Ruth. The two of them were quickly finding themselves locked in battle.Even though Leon and Ruth were both intermediate Supreme Masters, Leon had his Double Attack that was unmatched to those at the same level!Instead, Ruth just became an intermediate Supreme Master. She did not even manage to stabilize her energy, so she was naturally no match for Leon.Before even ten exchanges were done, she quickly found herself on the backfoot. She had no way of fighting back."Leon, y-you scoundrel! Are you trying to kill me to silence me?!" Ruth said angrily.She could tell that Leon's attacks were all fatal. He did not hold back at all, and he was actually trying to kill her!"That's right! You're to blame for finding out something you should not know. Only the dead can
Ruth was incredibly shocked and scared, feeling the fear of death for the first time in her life."That-"Leon was shocked. He immediately remembered how Ruth helped him.A few days ago, at Zerbe Pharmacy, he almost fell to Theodore. It was thanks to Ruth arriving in time with her men that Iris and him managed to survive.It was a debt he had to repay.If he killed Ruth at that moment, it would just be way too cold hearted.However, an Absolute Method concerned the lives of him, Iris and Louisa. If he just let Ruth go like that and Ruth exposed it to the Collins, the results would be disastrous!"Leon, it's fine. Stop scaring Miss Collins! She just happened to learn some of the Mysterious Maiden Method. It's nothing too bad," Iris hurriedly said.She did not know much about martial arts and their methods. She just knew that the Mysterious Maiden Method was an incredible method, but she did not know how valuable it actually was!Of course, even if she knew that, she would not j
Leon knew very well that Ruth was a smart person, and that Ruth should know what she needed to do!"Ruth, since Iris and Louisa are speaking up for you, I'll let you off this time! However, I'll be honest with you. If you even dare to tell anyone about the Mysterious Maiden Technique, then I won't show you any mercy no matter where you hide!" Leon said coldly. He slowly let go of Ruth's throat."Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."Ruth could finally relax. She could not help but feel happy that she just avoided losing her life.Right after that, she did not forget to shoot Iris and Louisa thankful looks, thanking them for helping her."Alright, since you've already learned half of the Mysterious Maiden Method, it'll be more than enough for you to get to the Overlord State in three years! There's no reason for you to stay here anymore. You should just pack your things and leave!" Leon said coldly, trying to chase Ruth away.His deal with George was to help Ruth reach the Overlord S
Leon was speechless.What Ruth said made sense. It would actually not benefit him if he chased Ruth away."Fine, then you can stay."Leon hesitated for a moment before he agreed reluctantly."That's great!" Ruth was incredibly happy as she let out a radiant smile.As long as Leon let her stay, then she would have a chance to learn the whole Mysterious Maiden Method!That was an Absolute Method. It was rare beyond belief!It was obvious how happy she was!"Don't be too happy just yet! I'm warning you. If you do anything shady again in the future, then I won't hold back!" Leon warned coldly."Yes, I understand," Ruth smiled casually.She could finally see that Leon was actually incredibly soft-hearted no matter how he seemed on the outside. Leon never planned on killing her from the start, or she would already be dead!In the end, Leon just tried to scare her, so she did not bother with Leon's warning at all!"Alright, I just made a breakthrough. I haven't managed to stabiliz
"I know! There's no way we can wait for so long. I need to do everything I can to get rid of Leon for our future!" Harold had a dark look on his face.He had his hands behind his back as he paced around, deep in thought."Dad, I have a good plan!" Jacob suddenly had a moment of inspiration."Oh? What's your plan?" Harold stopped as he looked at his son."It's much harder to avoid a hidden blow! Leon's cunning and hard to deal with, but we can target Iris instead! He's Iris's boyfriend. As long as we can get Iris, he'll fall right into whatever we set up for him!" Jacob let out a sinister smile."Yes, that's a good idea! However, Ruth's currently staying with Iris. If we target Iris, we might end up going against Ruth as well. Then, we might end up making enemies of the Collins! That's not a good idea!" Harold said darkly.Even though he was slowly gaining control of the Youngs and was not too afraid of the Collins, he did not want to face the Collins head on at that moment.At t
"If the two of you are worried about Elder Young still being with the family, then just go over and ask for him.""We can't. We've already tried that, but Daisy refuses to let us take him away."Iris shook her head, feeling a bit frustrated.Gilbert and Iris immediately requested for Elder Young the moment they were kicked out, but Daisy rejected them.After that, Gilbert was still not willing to accept it. He went over to the family to ask about Elder Young a few times, and was trying to find a chance to quietly bring Elder Young over.However, Daisy was already prepared. She already moved Elder Young to a different room, and had people keeping guard. Gilbert was not that strong, so he never succeeded."That despicable woman! She's clearly trying to make things difficult for you two!" Leon slammed the desk angrily.It was only normal for Iris and Gilbert to want to take care of Elder Young considering their relationship.Yet, Daisy was deliberately stopping it. It was despicab
After that, he pleaded to Jonah, and Jonah agreed to help him get Elder Young out so the family could be reunited!However, Daisy controlled most of the family at that moment. Since Jonah was a direct descendant, he could not help Gilbert so directly in case he ended up being blamed as well.After that, Jonah and Gilbert discussed things. The two of them reached an agreement. During the night, Jonah would figure out a way to send the guards guarding Elder Young away. Then, Gilbert could sneak in himself to bring Elder Young away."Good, this is amazing!" Iris was incredibly happy. Since she was young, her closest family was her grandfather and her aunt.Ever since she was forced out of the family, she already gave up on the Youngs. The only one she could not let go of was Elder Young.It was obvious how happy she was that Gilbert found a way to get Elder Young out!"Dad, why don't I go with you at night? I want to see my grandfather as soon as possible. I can wait for you in th
"Isn't that normal?!" Gilbert said unhappily.Ever since Leon took Elegante back again, he did not like Leon at all. There was no way he would be nice to Leon.If Iris did not love Leon, he would have already chased Leon away!"But-"Leon was still hesitant.He did not think that anyone from the Youngs would care about their own blood relations.Otherwise, Melvin, Jonah and the others would not just have let Daisy force Gilbert and Iris out just like that!"There's nothing to doubt! What? Do you think Jonah will harm Iris and me?" Gilbert mocked.Blood was thicker than water. He was Jonah's relative. There was no way Jonah would harm him!Leon was just being suspicious for no reason!"That's not necessarily true! Mister Young, it doesn't hurt to be careful! I just feel like we should proceed with caution with this," Leon advised."A load of nonsense! Leon, I'm about to save Elder Young, but you're deliberately being difficult about the whole thing. You're even trying to thro
