Chapter 403
Leon knew that Gilbert disliked him from the start, but he needed Gilbert’s approval if he wanted to continue his relationship with Iris, and running away would not resolve any problem.
He decided to give it his all for Iris’s sake.
The two arrived at the silent corner outside the hall and Gilbert stopped once he confirmed that there
was no one else around them.
“Mister Young, what do you need to talk to me about?” Leon asked.
“Leon, let’s just cut to the chase! I don’t care why you approach Iris, but a word of advice: Stay away
from her, or suffer the consequences!” Gilbert warned.
“Mister Young, you’ve misunderstood. I don’t have any motive,” Leon said sincerely but was instantly

“Enough with the act! Just tell me how much it would cost for you to leave Iris’s side!” Gilbert roared.
“Mister Young, it’s not a matter of money. I am in love with Iris with all my heart and I mean it!” Seeing
no point in hiding any longer, Leon summoned the courage to confess the truth.
“What a joke! You’re a divorced good–for–nothing and an orphan with nothing to your name. Who are
you to be Iris’s man?” Gilbert questioned angrily.
“I know she’s way out of my league and that I’m not a compatible match for her right now, but I’m going
to work hard,” Leon said hesitantly.
He wanted to inform Gilbert about Cynthion Group, but decided against it because the company did not
accomplish anything at the moment.
The Young Family was powerful and even if Cynthion Group managed to achieve a certain level of
success, it would still be difficult to rival the influence of an entrepreneur giant like the Youngs.
Leon knew that he would have to work even harder if he wished to obtain the Youngs‘ approval.
“I don’t have the time to listen to your daydreams! I’ll give you one last chance to leave Iris’s side and
promise that you will never show your face again, or I’m going to make you!” Gilbert snorted, as his

“Woah!” Leon gaped. Though he could not detect the precise level of Gilbert, it was certain that Gilbert
reached beyond the Realm of a Supreme Master.
There was a great gap between the peak of the Innate State and the realm of a Supreme Master and
the difference between the power levels was so enormous that Gilbert could crush Leon with ease if he

“Well, Leon?” Gilbert sneered, the true energy that gathered in his palm intensified as he dared Leon to
refuse.
“I’ve thought it through. Mister Young, I love Iris and I will never leave her side. I know I’m not a good
match for her right now, but give me some time. Two or three years at most and I’ll fulfill your
requirements so that I can marry her!” Leon gritted out.
Every man had something that they could never give up on and to Leon, Iris was his fortress and he
refused
to give up even when threatened by someone as powerful as Gilbert.
“Why you! You don’t deserve to live!” Furious, Gilbert raised his arm as he desperately wished that he
could kill Leon right there and then.
