Chapter 972
If Leon’s true power level was not at the Peak Supreme State but at the Intermediate Supreme State instead, they
were screwed–Jackson would surely be able to defeat him as easily as swatting a fly, and Leon would stand no
chance of escaping at all!
“No, I won’t leave Iris here by herself!” Leon shook his head and rejected Ruth’s suggestion.
“What?” Ruth could not believe her ears. She never thought, not even in her wildest dreams, that Leon would still
be preoccupied with Iris’s safety at a time like this, not when his own life was in peril!
“Leon, listen to me. I know you’re worried about Iris, but don’t worry, I’ve already texted my grandfather for help,
and I’m sure it won’t be long until my grandfather and the rest of the Collins‘ masters arrive.

to find a way to escape while you can, and when my grandfather arrives, I’ll help you save Iris, and the rest!”
Ruth continued persuading Leon in a low voice.
“That won’t do! Harold is clearly using Iris’s safety to threaten me, and if I even dare to escape, he’ll definitely hurt
them. I can’t risk putting them in danger!” Leon sighed.
Harold tricked him into this, and with Iris’s life in his hands, there was no way Leon would escape, and Harold knew
this too.
As for the Youngs, they were just a bunch of greedy, foolish people, and Leon did not dare to place his hope upon
them!
Seeing that Leon and Ruth were muttering among each other and was yet to take on his challenge, Jackson was
beginning to get impatient. He pointed in Leon’s direction and demanded, “Leon Wolf, come out and face your
death!”
“Leon, don’t be rash,” Ruth shook her head and reminded Leon once more, hoping that he would come to his
senses and find a way to escape.
If Leon got lucky, he would make it out just in time for her grandfather to arrive, and with the Youngs‘ promise, it
was highly likely that Iris would not get hurt at all.
However, if Leon refused to escape while he could, there was only one foreseeable outcome–death.
“That’s right, Leon, listen to Ruth. Find a way to escape–don’t just think about me,” Iris bit her lip as a worried
expression crossed her face. She did not want Leon to give up his life for her!
“Don’t worry, Iris, I have this all figured out!” Leon smiled, then turned and sauntered toward Jackson.
“That bastard!” Ruth knew that Leon ignored her advice entirely, and could not help feeling outraged at this.
However, on the other hand, the fact that Leon would rather put his life in danger than run away, leaving Iris

In the past, because of their first encounter that led to him hurting her, and his subsequent betrayal of Iris and
Cynthia, Ruth was never so fond of Leon at all, but now, his loyalty and courage made her change her mind about
him.
“Leon, if anything happens to you, I won’t be able to forgive myself! I refuse to remain on this earth that is devoid
of your presence!” a glimmer of determination flashed across Iris’s face as she stared at Leon’s
retreating figure.
Leon secretly ingested a Dragon Pill, then walked over until he was standing three feet away from Jackson, and
declared, “I’m here!“
