“Are you serious?” Leon raised one eyebrow. “I thought you were going to let me train alone.”“Well, that was my intention initially,” Brad said. “But after seeing how you took down G, I changed my mind. You reignited a fighting desire I thought was long dead.”Brad grinned again. His dark green aura blazed even fiercer.Leon didn't know if he was the only one who could see the aura emanating from Brad's body. But one thing was clear: the atmosphere in the boxing gym had changed drastically. Tension enveloped the crowd, including Brad's friends.“Come on! Follow me to the ring!” Brad said, heading to the ring first.Leon sighed, put his hands on his hips, and shook his head. He had no choice but to indulge Brad.And once Brad and Leon were in the ring, the crowd began to gather closer. Not too close, but close enough to record what was happening in the ring with their phone cameras.This was indeed a very rare moment. Long before G ruled the illegal fights in Greystone Hollow's underw

That night, at the Mayor of Greystone Hollow’s private retreat...Olivier, the mayor, walked into a room flanked by his aide and several bodyguards dressed in sharp suits—almost resembling tuxedos. In that room, someone was waiting who had captured his undivided attention.Correct, the person in question was Leon. Olivier's eyes found him immediately upon entering the room.Leon stared back. A strong gaze. Olivier knew instantly that Leon was no ordinary man.With Leon was Joseph, the Chief of the Greystone Hollow Police. Joseph greeted Olivier respectfully. Olivier gestured for Joseph and Leon to sit on the sofas provided.“So, what are we discussing in this meeting? That viral post on the city’s official social media?” Olivier fired off immediately.“That is correct, Mr. Mayor,” Joseph replied, nodding. “Mr. Leon, as the target of said announcement, wishes to convey something to you.”Olivier turned straight to Leon. “Spit it out. You want to complain?”Leon smiled. He shook his hea

Leon laughed.“Hey! The nerve of you laughing like that in front of the Mayor! You’ve really crossed the line!” the aide snapped.Leon ignored him. After he stopped laughing, he looked at Olivier and smirked.“I thought this city was led by an honorable, honest man. Turns out, I was wrong. This city is led by a coward who refuses to admit his mistakes and defeat,” Leon said.“Hey! Watch your mouth! You are incredibly insolent!” the aide yelled, pointing at Leon and glaring at him.Again, Leon ignored him. He stepped forward toward the kneeling tall, thin man, stood beside him, and placed his hand on the man's shoulder.The tall, thin man turned and looked up. Instantly, his eyes went round; his pupils darted around, and his face went pale.Before being brought there, the tall, thin man had been warned by the soldiers who apprehended him that he must not try anything funny in front of Leon, or he would die.Right now, he immediately recognized the man he was looking at was Leon. His fa

Leon frowned. His mother-in-law? Why was she calling suddenly? It had to be something.“Hello, Mom?” Evelyn answered the phone.Leon signaled with his hand for his wife to activate the loudspeaker. Evelyn did so.[Eve, how are you? Are you alright?]“Yes, I’m fine. Why, Mom? Did something happen?”[Ah, no. I just wanted to check on my daughter. I was worried. I heard your pathetic husband's family house caught fire recently. Fortunately, you weren't there when the fire happened, were you?]Evelyn looked at Leon, confused. Leon hadn't told Evelyn about the fire incident yet.[You truly are alright, aren't you, Eve? That bastard isn't abusing you, is he?]“Mom, don’t call Leon that! He is my husband, regardless.” Evelyn’s tone became firm. “And no, Leon is not abusing me. Besides, since when did he abuse me, Mom? Quite the opposite, he protects me and treats me well. He even moved us to a much better and safer residence. There’s nothing for you to worry about.”[A new residence? You mov

“Gregory, how did you know I was here?” Verona asked.“I paid someone to find you, Mom,” Gregory answered, standing beside the sofa Verona was sitting on. He then turned to Evelyn, then Leon. “What are they doing here?”“I want to bring Mom back to my home,” Evelyn replied.“Home? Do you even have a home? I heard your damn husband's family house burned down. You want to bring Mom to live there? Are you serious, Eve!”“No, no.” Evelyn shook her head. “I mean my new house. The house I recently moved into with Leon and his family.”Gregory’s gaze shifted back to Leon. “This trash? He owns two houses?”“I do. Why, is that a problem for you?” Leon countered.Gregory immediately glared at him.“Oh, sorry. I forgot, you guys are having economic difficulties. It must be unimaginable for you to own two houses. Sorry, sorry,” Leon sneered.“Bastard! What do you know about our situation, huh?!” Gregory snapped.“Enough, Greg. No need to get angry like that,” Evelyn pleaded. “Mom already told us
