Chapter 774
Leon’s tone was cold when he said this.
“Thank you, mighty one. We promise that this won’t happen a second time…” After hearing this, Wilfred and the
rest finally dared to get up. At this point, the backs of their shirts were utterly soaked with cold sweat.
Wilfred was the most anxious out of all of them since he had heard from his father that when Jared crossed Leon,
not only did he have to get on his knees to beg for mercy, but he even ended up breaking his own arm to
compensate.
The fact that Leon did not force him to break his own arm and instead chose to forgive him on the spot was a
miracle!
Unbeknownst to Wilfred, however, Leon had chosen to forgive him simply because he was an ordinary man and not

expertise as leverage over Wilfred, which was why he had chosen to let them off the hook.
“Also, please pay Miss Shirley’s salary right now, and since she got slapped for no reason just now, I want you to
give her compensation!” Leon said curtly.
“Yes, please hold on for a moment,” Mister Grover replied, then quickly disappeared behind the counter and
retrieved two thick stacks of cash.
However, despite being a broke student, Shirley was a woman of integrity and just took a few notes that equated to
her day’s wage of about 150 dollars, refusing to take even a dollar more.
As for the compensation for being slapped by Maisie for no reason, she simply took a few dozen dollars in
compensation for her medical bills..
Everyone watching this could not help feeling more admiring of this young woman.
After everything was settled, Leon and Ariel both left the cafe, and Shirley too eventually ended her shift.
Wilfred and the rest let out sighs of relief when they saw Leon leaving, as though a weight had been lifted off their
shoulder.
“My dear, this man…who is he? Is he a descendent of one of the major families in Springfield City?” A pale- faced
Maisie asked. Considering that Wilfred hailed from Acme Corp, which was one of the most wealthy and powerful
corporations in the city, the fact that this man scared Wilfred so much meant that surely, he hailed from a family
far more influential than the Javners!
Even Mister Grover thought the same.
“I don’t know, and to be honest, I don’t even know who he is! however, my father told me that a few days ago,
Jared West crossed this man, and not only did he have to get on his knees to beg for mercy, he even
broke his own arm in compensation! It’s a miracle that we even got out of this alive!” Wilfred said, still a little

“What? Doesn’t that mean he’s even more powerful than any of the major families?” Maisie and Mister Grover
were both stunned by this. They initially thought that Leon was one of the direct descendants of the major families,
but now, after hearing what Wilfred had said, they realized that Leon Wolf was probably even more powerful than
they had imagined–otherwise, Wilfred would never have been so terrified of him!
“Yes, that sounds possible! Maisie, let me tell you this; we were lucky together to get out of this alive, but in the
future, you need to get ahold of your temper. If you stir up any trouble again, don’t you blame me for not helping
you in the future!” Wilfred warned.
“Yes, I understand…” Maisie shuddered but did not dare to object.
Outside the cafe, Shirley sprinted to catch up with Leon and Ariel. “Hey, please wait for me,” she called out after
them.
“What’s wrong, Shirley?” Leon and Ariel asked dubiously when they turned and saw it was her.
“I just wanted to thank you for helping me just now…”
