Ch. 1251..1260
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1251
“What? Uncle, you…”
Brad was stunned as he looked at Tomas in disbelief.
Earlier, he had thought that Tomas would forever stand by his side after Tomas berated the elders like that.
He never expected Tomas would betray him like that for one method!
His uncle was too unreliable!
“How shameless…”
The elders silently cursed Tomas in their hearts.
However, the Advanced Pure Energy Pills and the Advanced Power class method were right in front of them. All of them were already incredibly tempted.
Since Tomas was willing to give in, it suited them just fine!
“Tomas is right!”
“This is Cynthia’s own choice. We should let the youngsters resolve things among themselves!”
“It might not be good for us old folks to forcibly interfere…”
The elders all advised.
“No! Dad, this is just absurd. As long as Leon refuses to leave Iris, I’ll never let Cynthia be with him!” Brad said angrily. He remained firm.
“That…”
Benedict’s face was dark with uncertainty. He looked like he was waging a war in his head.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and made his decision.
“Leon, you should take back your Pure Energy Pills and your method. This is something that goes against our morals. We won’t let Cynthia fall in despair for our own benefit!” Benedict said, rejecting it in the end.
“Grandfather, no…
Cynthia paled when Benedict made his decision. Her heart sank to the depths.
Leon had already produced the pills and the method. He had shown all his sincerity, but her grandfather and father still refused to take a step back.
At that moment, it was obvious how hopeless she felt!
“Elder Shear, I think you’ve misunderstood my intentions! I’ve hurt your family too much in the past. These are just a form of compensation from me. I just want to resolve things with your family. As for Cynthia, she’s my best friend. There’s no way I’d let her be with me on such vague terms. That would be irresponsible to her!” Leon hurriedly defended himself.
He knew that Cynthia had feelings for him, but the woman he loved the most would always be Iris.
If he constantly swayed in his thoughts, he would be irresponsible toward Iris and Cynthia!
He could not be greedy!
He would not have Iris and Cynthia at the same time just for his own personal greed, causing both of them to suffer. He was not that selfish!
“What do you mean by this?” Benedict and the others looked at Leon curiously when they heard that.
“Cynthia’s still young. I think she’s just letting her feelings go to her head. I think that we should just let things play out. Once she figures things out or finds another man, all these problems might just go away, Leon said.
He might sound like he was confident, but he did not actually have an ounce of confidence in this.
If Cynthia remained adamant and wanted to stay with him, he did not know how to fix things either.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1252
“So that’s it!”
Benedict and the others had looks of realization on their faces after Leon’s explanation.
Brad, in particular, started to calm down a lot more, no longer objecting to the situation.
There was no way he would have allowed Cynthia to be a mistress.
However, Leon was just trying to resolve things with the Shears. He was not trying to ask for their
permission to be with Cynthia. It was something he and Benedict could accept.
Just like Leon said, they could let everything run its course. If Cynthia had a moment of realization one day, she might give up on Leon herself.
Of course, there was nothing they could do if she did not.
With how stubborn Cynthia was, there was no way they would be able to force Cynthia to draw the line with Leon. Otherwise, Cynthia might end up deciding to die for Leon, just like Iris had.
Then, they would lose everything!
In the end, all they could do was hope that Leon would know his place and not try to deceive Cynthia. As for whether or not Cynthia would leave Leon in the future, that was all up to fate!
“Alright, alright, I’ll agree to this! From now on, the score was been settled between us!” Benedict sighed, finally taking a step back.
“That’s great!”
Cynthia was elated that her grandfather and her father had finally relented.
She knew very well that, since Benedict had agreed that things were resolved, the Shears would no longer restrict things between her and Leon anymore, even if this was not really a full acknowledgment of the
situation.
As for what Leon said just now, she did not care at all!
Leon definitely had some feelings for her in the end, and Iris had already accepted her. That was enough!
Nothing else mattered!
“Leon, what’s in the past is in the past! Since you saved Cynthia and us today, we’re going to give you back Cynthion Group as thanks,” Benedict said, voicing out the decision they had made before this.
“Elder Shear, there’s no need. Thanks for your kindness,” Leon said, but he was interrupted before he could fully reject it.
“Leon, the Shears have always made sure to repay our debts! Cynthion Group has always been yours in the first palace. Since things have already been resolved, we still have to give you back Cynthion Group to repay our debt!” Benedict said, leaving no room for doubt.
“Alright then, let’s have things as they used to be. I’ll have sixty percent of the shares, and Cynthia will own the rest,” Leon hesitated for a moment, no longer rejecting Benedict.
“That’s up to you,” Benedict said calmly.
He did not clearly agree to let Cynthia be with Leon this time merely because he wanted to leave some shred of honor for the Shears! With Cynthia’s feelings for Leon, he did not even need to think about it. He knew that Cynthia would never leave Leon.
If there were no surprises, Leon was practically already his grandson–in–law from now on. It was just that they could not publicly admit to it.
Since they were a family, Leon could distribute the shares however he pleased!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1253
“Elder Shear, I have something else I want to talk to you about in private…
Leon looked at Tomas and the other elders before he stopped his words.
“All of you, head out!” Benedict understood and waved the rest of them away.
Very quickly, only Benedict, Leon, and Cynthia were left in the hall.
“Leon, what is it? Go ahead,” Benedict asked curiously.
“I still have another method to give you,” Leon said before he took out a method. He had just written that
down as well.
“A method? Didn’t you just give one to us?” Benedict was shocked, not sure of what Leon was trying to do.
“It’s different. The one from before was just an Advanced Power class Method! This one is an Ultimate Power class method!” Leon said simply.
“What? An Ultimate Power Method? So what Sean Lapwood said was true. You really do have one!” Benedict was shocked to hear that. He immediately stood up.
When Leon was fighting Sean, Leon merely admitted that he had an Advanced Power Method. He never
admitted to having an Ultimate Power Method!
An Ultimate Power Method was dozens of times more valuable than an advanced one. Whether it was the
Shears or the other major families, everyone thought that Sean was just wildly speculating.
However, he never would have dreamed that Leon really did have an Ultimate Power Method!
Even though they were only one level apart, there was a massive gap between the two. The power was thousands of miles apart!
It was like the distance between the Shears and the Lapwoods!
The Shears‘ method was only one level lower than the Lapwoods, but the Lapwoods just needed a few experts to completely destroy the Shears!
It was obvious how valuable and amazing Ultimate Power Class Methods were!
That was not the only thing!
Even in Sky County, the strongest method that was used was only an Ultimate Power Class Method. All of the families who had one were considered immensely powerful!
With the Shears having one for themselves, it was possible for the Shears to reach the top of Sky County one day!
It was obvious how shocked and excited he was.
“Elder Shear, this is specifically for your direct descendants. I hope you won’t reveal this to anyone else,” Leon did not forget to say.
Since Ultimate Power Methods were incredibly valuable, it would easily gain the attention of the major forces of Sky County if word ever got out!
For the sake of safety, he had to only restrict the Ultimate Power Methods to the direct descendants to avoid too many people knowing it.
An Advanced Power Method was still amazing to the other Shears!
“Yes, I understand!” Benedict nodded seriously. He had some complicated emotions in his heart.
He knew how valuable Ultimate Power Methods were, and he mistakenly believed Leon was using one too.
For Iris, Leon actually gave the Shears his best method. That deeply moved Benedict.
If he still had any complaints about Leon and Cynthia, it had all completely disappeared from that moment
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1254
After Leon passed the method to Benedict, Leon bid his farewells to Cynthila and left the Shears.
After all his hard work, he had finally resolved things with the Shears. It had relieved a massive burden from his heart, and he felt incredibly happy.
However, just thinking about Cynthia gave him a bit of a headache.
In truth, he had just wanted to resolve things with the Shears. He wanted to make up for what he owed them.
Yet, things went a bit out of control. With how Benedict and the Shears were acting, it was like they had all silently agreed to his relationship with Cynthia.
It rendered him unable to defend himself!
Of course, as a man, it was something brilliant. He should be happy about it.
However, looking at it from Iris and Cynthia’s perspective, it was just too absurd. It was too unfair for both of them!
His logic told him that he could not be so shameless. However, reality rendered him constantly on the back foot!
Suddenly, he felt like his emotions were in a mess. He did not know what he should do in the future. In the end, he decided to take things one step at a time!
At Dragonbay Villas, Gilbert, and Elder Young rushed over not long after Iris and Ruth got home.
“Grandfather, dad, why are you here?” Iris was surprised. She hurriedly stood up and went over.
After Elder young and Gilbert moved back to stay with the Youngs, they rarely ever came to her place. She was quite surprised at their sudden appearance.
“Iris, where’s Leon? Where did he go? We have some things we need to talk to him about!” Gilbert had a sour expression on his face.
“Oh, he’s with the Shears. He’s not back yet,” Iris answered briefly.
“What? How dare he?!” Gilbert was furious when he heard that.
“Dad, what’s wrong with you?” Iris was very confused, finally seeing that something was wrong with Gilbert.
“What do you think? Iris, is there something wrong with your head? Leon’s your boyfriend. Not only did he save Cynthia from marriage so brazenly today, he’s even with the Shears right now. He clearly wants to rekindle things with Cynthia! Are you just not going to care about that?!” Gilbert said in frustration.
He knew of how Leon and Cynthia had almost gotten engaged before this. He also knew that the Shears had always wanted Leon to leave Iris and return to Cynthia.
As Iris‘ boyfriend, Leon had interfered with Cynthia and Theodore’s wedding in front of all the major families in Springfield City, stealing Cynthia away. It was quite inappropriate.
Elder Young and Gilbert were both very concerned that Leon’s feelings for Cynthia had been rekindled.
If the Shears took Leon away, what would happen to the Youngs and Iris?
That was the main reason why the two of them rushed over!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1255
“So that’s what you’re here for!” Iris had a look of realization on her face. After that, she said, “What about it?”
“What? Iris, are you thinking straight? Your boyfriend is about to be stolen by another woman. Why are you so unconcerned?” Gilbert was shocked. He could not believe his ears.
He thought that Iris would be furious about this. He never expected Iris‘ reaction to be so calm!
He was absolutely confused!
“I…” Iris was speechless.
Leon and Cynthia’s relationship had already been silently approved by her before this. Back then, she had been the one who asked Leon to reconcile with Cynthia. It was just that the matter was a bit odd. She did not know how to explain things to Gilbert!
Surely she could not tell her grandfather and father that she had already accepted Cynthia?
The two of them would probably blow up with anger at that!
At that moment, Ruth was on the sofa in the living room. Her chin was on her hands, and she was enjoying
the show.
Looking at Gilbert being so angry, she could not help but say, “Mister Young, didn’t you always want Iris to be with my brother? It would not be bad for Leon to get back together with Cynthia. Then, Iris can get married to my brother. Our family will be tied to the Youngs!”
“That…” Gilbert paused, unable to say anything about it.
Before this, he really did regard Anson very highly. However, Leon’s growth was just too shocking. Leon was already the king of Springfield City at such a young age. His potential was limitless!
No matter how stupid he was, there was no way he would continue trying to break Leon and Iris up. He was even very worried that Leon would be stolen by the Shears!
“That was then, this is now. It’s different…”
Gilbert’s face reddened as he said, “In the end, Leon’s one of us right now. He needs to draw the line with the Shears and Cynthia.”
“Dad, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing with this. I’ll deal with it,” Iris said after a moment, trying to vaguely brush past it.
“Deal with it? How will you deal with it?” Gilbert asked curiously.
“I…”
Before Iris could even respond, Ruth was the first to say something.
“Isn’t that easy? Iris and Cynthia both plan on being with Leon at the same time. Doesn’t that just solve everything?!” Ruth said with a sly smile.
When she went with Iris and Leon to Seacove City, Leon had purposely gone over to say goodbye to Cynthia.
She could already see at the time that Leon, Iris, and Cynthia’s relationship was a bit unusual!
She was shocked and could not help but feel unhappy about Leon’s shamelessness.
In front of Gilbert and Elder Young, she planned on fanning the flames a little. She wanted to see how Leon would deal with it!
“What?”
Those words were like a bomb. It almost blew Elder Young and Gilbert away!
“Iris, is Ruth saying the truth? Did you really…”
Elder Young and Gilbert looked at Iris in disbelief. They were speechless from the shock.
“I…”
Iris glared at Ruth angrily. She knew that Ruth did it on purpose!
However, Ruth was speaking the truth, so there was nothing she could say about it.
Seeing Iris unable to answer, Elder Young and Gilbert naturally understood!
At that moment, they were completely shocked!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1256
“Iris, y–you and Cynthia, with Leon…”
“Are you crazy?”
Gilbert was absolutely furious after he snapped out of his shock!
“Dad, things aren’t the way you think. Cynthia helped Leon a lot before this. She was already practically engaged with Leon back then, and I ruined it for her, stealing her fiance. I’ve always regretted it a lot. In the end, I just want to give her a chance to make up for the hurt I’ve caused her,” Iris sald.
“Nonsense! How could this be allowed? I won’t agree to this!” A Gilbert almost blew up in his anger.
“Whatever! Iris, give Leon a call right now. Have him come back here immediately! I want to talk to him personally!” Elder Young said seriously. He looked much calmer than Gilbert was.
“There’s no need, I’m already back!”
At that moment, Leon’s voice was heard. He walked right into the living room.
Gilbert could not hold his anger back at the sight of Leon. He immediately exploded, “Leon, you absolute scoundrel!”
“How could you do this?!” Gilbert said angrily. There was a fire in his heart. He looked like he wanted to rip Leon apart.
“Mister Young, what happened?” Leon was shocked.
He had just come back from the Shears, so he did not know what happened at all.
“What do you think happened? What kind of relationship do you have with Cynthia? Are you really planning on having two women at once?” Gilbert said angrily.
“You already found out?” Leon was taken aback. After that, he turned to look at Iris and Ruth. When he saw Ruth’s amused expression, he could vaguely guess what happened.
“If you don’t want anyone to find out, then don’t do it in the first place! You’re Iris‘ boyfriend, but you’re off seducing other women behind her back. This is absolutely shameless and despicable behavior! You have to give Iris and us an explanation today!” Gilbert said coldly.
Even though he knew that Iris willingly allowed this, he still pinned the whole blame on Leon. He felt like Iris must have been fooled by Leon, or Iris would never have accepted something like that!
He did not know that Leon had always been the passive one with all of this!
“Mister Young, please calm down! This is just a misunderstanding, I’ve never planned on having two women at once,” Leon said with an apologetic smile.
He wanted to explain things, but did not know how to.
“Quit with your excuses!”
Gilbert was incredibly angry that Leon seemed to be trying to deflect the blame, not looking remorseful at all. He wanted to slap Leon in the face.
However, thinking about Leon’s strength and Leon’s position at that moment, he did not dare to attack Leon
like he did before.
In the end, all he could do was curse at Leon, pushing back the anger in his heart.
“Leon, the recklessness of a young man can be forgiven, but you need to know when to repent! I’ll give you one chance. If you cut off all ties with Cynthia and the Shears, I can act like nothing happened,” Gilbert
advised. He hoped that Leon would be able to turn back and make up for his mistakes.
Of course, it was his first time ever acting so nice to Leon. After all, Leon’s skills were painful to see. Facing that level of power, he lost all his confidence from before.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1257
“No, I can’t cut ties with the Shears and Cynthia…” Leon shook his head and said firmly.
Cynthia had helped him and the Shears a lot before. He owed the Shears a lot, especially after they had their falling out.
He had spent so much hard work to resolve things with the Shears. There was no way he would hurt them again!
“You…”
“Leon, I’m warning you. My patience is limited. You’d better know your place!” Gilbert was furious. He was on the verge of exploding.
“Dad, can you stop making things hard for Leon? Cynthia and the Shears have helped Leon so much before this. Leon had a falling out with the Shears because of me, he’s already been very burdened. He’s finally managed to reconcile with the Shears. Both Cynthia and I are willing parties in this as well. Why do you need to interfere?” Iris said.
“Iris, is there something wrong with you? Leon is doing something like this, but you’re not blaming him and even tolerating it. Are you trying to anger me to death?” Gilbert was going crazy. He wanted to open up his daughter’s head to see what was inside at that moment!
“Alright! That’s enough!” Elder Young shouted, stopping the
argument.
“Dad, Iris must have been fooled by Leon’s words. Hurry up and help me wake her up!” Gilbert looked at Elder Young and said anxiously.
He knew that Iris was closer to Elder Young and always listened to him. He put all his hope on Elder Young.
“There’s nothing to talk about! It’s normal for men to play around a bit. Since everyone is willing, there’s nothing too surprising here!” Elder Young said calmly.
“What?”
When Elder Young siad that, it was like a strike of thunder on Gilbert!
He had thought that Elder Young was incredibly angry just like he was, but he never would have dreamed that Elder Young would be so calm. He did not seem to blame Leon at all!
It was obvious how shocked he was!
Of course, he was not the only one who was shocked. Iris, Leon and Ruth were shocked as well. All of them could not understand why Elder Young was saying that!
“Dad, could you have gone crazy just like Iris?” Gilbert looked at Elder Young in disbelief. He was already starting to even wonder if he was dreaming!
“I’m not crazy! Just look at our society nowadays. There are plenty of rich and powerful men who spend
their days playing around at hotels and nightclubs. At least Leon’s not at that stage! Furthermore, even Iris and Cynthia have agreed. Why are you making such a big deal of it?!” Elder Young said unhappily.
“But…” Gilbert was still adamant.
“There’s nothing else to talk about! Even the Shears can accept this. There’s no reason for us to refuse!”
Elder Young said firmly. There was a meaningful look in his eyes, as if he had made a decision.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1258
Looking at Elder Young, Leon felt dumbfounded.
Even though him and Cynthia had already reconciled and Iris and Cynthia both seemed to love him, he never planned on being with both of them at the same time.
He merely hoped that Cynthia would wake up one day and give up on him herself!
Yet, he never would have dreamed that the matter would continue progressing in a more and more absurd way. Not only have Iris and Cynthia both accepted it, even the Shears and the Youngs have!
None of them have ever asked him for his opinion, but the matter had been made into truth by force!
He did not know how to feel about that!
“Elder Young, you’ve misunderstood things. Actually, Cynthia and I…”
Leon tried to explain himself, but he was interrupted by Elder Young before he could do so.
“Leon, I can accept you and Cynthia, but I have a condition!” Elder Young said seriously.”
“What is it?” Leon asked.
“It’s simple. When you and Iris both have children, I hope one of the boys will take up the Young name. I want him to continue our bloodline and the family! I don’t want the Youngs to end with me!” Elder Young
said.
The Youngs were already split up, and the younger generation was only left with Iris. It meant that the Youngs had a problem with continuing the family!
Of course, Elder Young had thought about it before. He really wanted Leon to marry into their family to inherit the family.
It was just that Leon was far too powerful. There was no way he would join them!
So, he decided to take a step back and put his eyes on Leon and Iris‘ children instead!
It was because of that, that he agreed with Leon and Cynthia’s matter so easily!
“Ah…” Iris exclaimed as she blushed.
They were not even married yet, but Elder Young was already thinking about children.
Suddenly, she felt herself heating up. She was a bit too embarrassed at the moment.
“Leon, is that okay?” Elder Young said hopefully, worried that Leon would reject him.
“Oh, of course,” Leon did not even think about it. He quickly agreed.
He was an orphan, and had married into the Mansons before. He did not really care about something like
that.
Of course, with his current skills, he no longer planned in marrying into any family. If Elder Young had asked for that, he would have to reconsider things.
However, Elder Young merely wanted one of his children with Iris in the future to take up Iris‘ name. That
request was not too bad, so he had no reason to refuse!
“That’s great!” Elder Young started to laugh happily.
The problem with the future of the Youngs had been resolved just like that. He was finally relieved.
Looking at Elder Young’s happy expression, Gilbert finally understood. No wonder Elder Young had been willing to take a step back, he was thinking about the future of the family!
Of course, he was the same as Elder Young. Both of them wanted someone to inherit the family. It was just that Leon and Cynthia’s matter was just too unbelievable. He still felt unhappy about it.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1259
“That’s right, Elder young, I have three Pure Energy Pills to give you guys,” Leon suddenly remembered something. He took out the pills he had prepared and gave them to Elder Young.
“Pure Energy Pills? We don’t have anyone at the peak Innate State among the younger generation. Why would we need that?” Elder Young was surprised.
He knew what the Pure Energy Pills did. They would help someone at the peak Innate State become a Supreme Master!
However, after the Youngs split up witht eh second line, they did not have many at the younger generation. Even if Leon gave them the Pure Energy Pills, it would just be a waste.
“Elder Young, these aren’t the Basic Pure Energy Pills before, they’re Advanced Pure Energy Pills I just made! They can help those at the Semi Overlord State break into the Overlord State!” Leon explained simply.
After the changes with the Youngs, three Semi Overlord State elders were left. The pills were specifically prepared for them.
“What? These Pure Energy Pills are so amazing? Are you serious?” Elder Young and Gilbert were both shocked. They exchanged looks of amazement with each other.
“I’m absolutely certain! Overlord State Martial Artists will see massive improvements after having them as well!” Leon nodded and said.
“That’s amazing! The Youngs will make a comeback soon!” Elder Young smiled excitedly.
With Leon’s immense skills and abilities, he did not doubt Leon’s words at all.
The Youngs had seen a drastic reduction in their strength. Even against some regular large families, they would be on the losing end.
If the three pills were able to help the elders get to the Overlord State, it would greatly bolster the family’s abilities!
Yet, before Gilbert and Elder Young could feel happy about it, something even more shocking happened!
“Also, I have an Advanced Power Method for the Youngs,” Leon said. He took out a book for Elder Youg.
He was Iris‘ boyfriend, so he was a part of the Youngs as well.
Since he had given two methods to the Shears, he naturally needed to give the Youngs something as well!
“What? You’re giving us an Advanced Power Method? A–are you serious?” Elder Young and Gilbert were both stunned. They looked at Leon in disbelief.
After what happened with the Lapwoods, they naturally knew that Leon had an Advanced Power Method!
However, the more powerful a method was, the more secretive it usually was!
They never would have dreamed that Leon would be willing to give something so valuable to them!
It was obvious how shocked they were!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1260
“You’re not mistaken! This was prepared by me for the collateral descendants of the Youngs!” Leon said
with a smile.
“For the collateral descendants? What? Can’t I learn it too?” Gilbert was stunned. His smile froze on his face
as he felt his heart chill.
He felt like he could have angered Leon because he had objected to Leon being with Cynthia earlier, which is why Leon did not allow him to learn the method!
Of course, it was not just him, even Elder Young felt that way.
Other than Iris, the only direct descendants left with the Youngs was Gilbert and Elder Young. Elder Young’s strength had already been crippled by Harold.
Since Leon had excluded the direct descendants, it was obviously only targeting Gilbert!
“Leon, just just scolded you a bit just now. Surely you don’t need to do this to me,” Gilbert said hopelessly.
The Dispel Demon Method was an Advanced Power Method. It was an incredibly valuable treasure!
If Leon was not willing to let him learn it, he would probably regret it for his whole life!
“You’re misunderstanding things. I actually still have an Ultimate Power Class Method. This was prepared for you,” Leon explained. After that, he took out another book.
“What? Y–you actually have an Ultimate Power Method?! How could that be?!” Gilbert and Elder Young were both shocked and in disbelief at the book in Leon’s hands.
Both of them reacted the same way Benedict had. Neither of them actually expected Leon to really have an Ultimate Power Method!
That was a method at the highest level within Sky County. It was valuable beyond belief!
Leon did not even hide it. He was giving something to valuable to the Youngs.
That moment, it was obvious how shocked both of them were!
“Good, very good! Leon, you really are a good son–in–law. Iris is incredibly lucky to have a boyfriend like you!” Gilbert was elated. He started to laugh excitedly.
“Mister Young, you’re praising me too much. Meeting Iris is the best thing that has ever happened to me,”
Leon said with a smile.
Gilbert was his future father–in–law. He had planned on giving Gilbert a personal favor by granting Gilbert an Absolute Method,
However, Gilbert was just too unreliable, and loved to sabotage him. Since Absolute Methods were so important, he decided against it in the end. He did not want to take the risk!
Otherwise, Gilbert would have gotten an Absolute Method instead of an Ultimate Power Method!!
“Waht a pity…”
Looking at the method in Leon’s hand, Elder Young could not help but feel a bit sad.
“Dad, what is it?” Gilbert pushed back the excitement in his heart as he looked at Elder Young.
