The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 481

“I think it’d be better if he took over!” Vincent said calmly.

Even though he did not trust Leon’s capabilities, he still tried to be as polite as he could, considering Le on was their guest and he was doing this out of kindness.

“But-” Leon was hesitant.

“No but’s! You should step away, lest you get in the way of Doctor Chase’s job!” Vincent said, waving hi s hand in dismissal. He was beginning to become a little impatient now.

“Oh, alright.” Leon sighed and had no choice but to step down and let Doctor Chase take over, who im mediately brought out a lot of high– tech medical equipment and proceeded to perform an extensive examination on Gloria.

“Since you’re busy, Mister Poole, I won’t take up more of your time. I shall leave now,” Leon said, giving Vincent a polite bow.

After all, there was no point in him staying any longer, considering Vincent did not even seem to believe in his abilities.

“Don’t! it’s such a rare occasion to have you come to visit, Leon, it would be such a shame if you were t o leave without even having lunch.” Snow quickly tried to stop him.

The way Leon helped her the day before left a lasting impression on her, and she did not want him to le ave before she could repay her gratitude to him.

“That’s right! Mister Wolf, I’ve already sent the servants to prepare lunch. Why don’t you stay for a meal?” Fane paused for a

moment, then added earnestly, “Besides, Doctor Chase is a conventional doctor, whereas you’re a prac titioner of alternative medicine, and you both certainly have strengths that can complement each other. If anything arises during Doctor Chase’s treatment process, perhaps you’ll be able to give some input.”

Even though both his father and Doctor Chase doubted Leon, Fane did not agree; he knew Leon for a l ong time and thus trusted him greatly.

Even though he did not think Leon could cure his mother’s longstanding illness easily, he knew that Leo n was not an arrogant or boastful man; if Leon dared to step up and offer help, that meant he possessed a go od level of medical knowledge.

Even if Leon was not able to save his mother, perhaps he would prove useful in times of need.

“Um, okay then.” Leon finally agreed after a moment’s hesitation.

Gloria’s condition was so severe that if they were to continue letting her be, her life would be in danger within a year.

–

Since he was a medical practitioner– and a close friend of Fane’s, no doubt he could not possibly stand by and watch while Fane’s mother e dged closer and closer to death.

Fane was right; if Doctor Chase ran into any hiccups during the treatment process, he would be able to

disdainful look.

Leon, knowing that complementary medicine doctors frequently looked down on alternative medicine practitioners due to the progressive waning of the art, did not take Doctor Chase’s insult to hea

“Doctor Chase, please save my wife,” Vincent said hurriedly.

After conducting a check on Gloria, Doctor Chase proceeded to try resuscitating her, but even after usin still no sign of her awakening.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 482

“Huh? How can this be?” Doctor Chase could not believe this. He continued to try a few more times, bu t

Gloria did not stir.

“What’s going on, Doctor Chase? Why isn’t my wife waking up?” Vincent asked anxiously.

“This seems to be far more serious than her previous attacks,” a solemn expression crossed Doctor Ch ase’s face. In the past, he could easily wake Gloria up with just a few simple maneuvers, but now, despite trying them multiple times, there was no sign of Gloria waking at all.

One did not need to be a genius to figure out this was far more serious than what happened in the past!

Vincent grew even more panicked at this. “What should we do now, Doctor Chase?”

“Don’t worry, Mister Poole. I have one last trick up my sleeve; I’m afraid we have to give her a resuscita tion shot,” Doctor Chase replied hesitantly.

A resuscitation shot was a type of injection given to awaken comatose patients, but it came with side eff ects. that would affect each individual differently based on their health status. Because of this, doctors t ypically do not give resuscitative shots unless deemed necessary.

“A resuscitation shot? Well, you’d better give it quickly.” Vincent did not question this at all. After all, he was not a doctor and thus did not know of the side effects this injection would cause. Besides, Doctor C hase took care of his wife for two years now and thus he trusted him greatly.

“Alright then.” Doctor Chase nodded and immediately brought out his tool kit, then proceeded to start preparing the medication.

Even though he knew of the side effects of the injection, it would not hurt to give a patient in need, cons idering how minor the effects were.

“No! You can’t give Missus Poole a resuscitation shot!” Leon stood up.

“Why not?” Doctor Chase snapped.

Vincent, Fane, and Snow all turned to look at Leon with questioning looks.

“Missus Poole is so weak that I don’t think it will be a good idea to give her more medication,” Leon repl ied

hesitantly.

He was a practitioner of alternative medicine, not conventional medicine, so he did not know of the com position of the resuscitation shot nor the side effects of it. However, he could easily guess that it worked by stimulating the brain or certain organs in the body.

Therefore, to use it in the normal population would not cause much harm, but it was different for Gloria; she was too weak with stagnant cold trapped within her body and would not be able to tolerate the use of stimulating drugs easily.

Leon was concerned that this injection would take Gloria’s life!

“Not a good idea? You’re not even a doctor, so how dare you question my capabilities? Who gave you th

Of course, even if side effects were to arise, it would not be too dangerous, considering the side effects

As long as he could save Gloria, Vincent would give him a hefty reward, and as for the possible side effe

“I-” Leon did not know how to answer that. He was just making an educated guess about Gloria’s unsuit experienced in conventional medicine, he did not know the specifics of it.

“What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?”

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 483

Doctor Chase sneered at this.

“Mister Poole, I’m not well versed in conventional medicine, so I’m not sure how to explain this, but plea se believe me; Missus Poole’s condition is not suitable to receive a resuscitation shot at all!” Leon turne d to stare at Vincent earnestly.

Leon spent the last couple of months helping treat various disorders and diseases, thus he managed to gain some experience in medicine, which compelled him t o think that giving Gloria a resuscitation shot would likely worsen her condition and even cost her life!

“You! Mister Poole, this man’s trying to get in my way. Please get him out of here so I can treat Missus Poole appropriately!” Doctor Chase shouted.

“Please get out, Mister Wolf! I was tolerating you considering you’re a guest in my home, but I hope yo u know where to draw the line!” Vincent, too, was irritated by Leon’s constant meddling.

If Leon were able to vocalize his concerns properly, perhaps he would consider trusting him, but he cou ld not do so, considering Leon did not even know what the resuscitation shot was, nor was he a proper doctor!

“Mister Poole, Missus Poole can’t take the shot. I’m trying to save her life,” Leon repeated as he blocke d Doctor Chase’s way.

“I don’t need you to do that, so please leave!” Vincent’s blood boiled, and he finally flung his sleeve and sent a wave of true energy surging Leon’s way.

“P– Peak Supreme State?” Leon was shocked by the energy that he felt and instinctively took a step back.

Vincent was far more powerful than Gilbert; Leon was just in a Peak Innate State, and he would stand a chance against Vincent at all!

However, thankfully, Vincent was just trying to warn him and did not intend to harm him at all, so after L eon took a few steps back in fear, Vincent quickly pulled himself back.

Despite that, Leon still could not help feeling his blood surge as the wave of energy spread through his entire body, suffocating him.

“What are you trying to do, Father? Leon was just acting out of kindness, so how can you do this to him !” Both Fane and Snow were utterly shocked by this and quickly stepped forward to help Leon.

Snow was far more outraged than her brother; Leon saved her the day before, but now, her father was treating Leon like an enemy. How could she repay his gratitude like this?

Her face was etched with sheer disapproval.

“Help? Do you honestly think so? How can a man who isn’t even willing to reveal his background be willing to help?” Vincent sneered.

To declare one’s background was the most straightforward thing a martial artist could do, but Leon was

Since Leon was so insincere in his efforts to get to know them, why did Vincent– the Southern King, no less -have to entertain him?

“Father, there must be a reason Mister Wolf cannot tell us his background,” Fane wanted to help defend his friend, but before he could do so, vincent interrupted him, “that’s enough! You don’t have

else! Fane, send the man out!”

It was one thing for Leon to appear so insincere in his efforts, but another thing entirely to constantly stand in Doctor Chase’s way while he tried to help Glo

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 484

“Father!” Both Snow and Fane were displeased by Leon’s treatment. After all, he was their guest, and yet not only did their father try to threaten him with violence, but he was now kicking him out of their house!

“Fane, I’ll only repeat myself one last time–send this man out!” Vincent shot his son and daughter a sharp glare.

Snow was unbothered by this, but Fane was always terrified of his father, and could not help shuddering at

this.

He did not dare to further irritate his father.

Leon could not believe that his kindness was taken like this!

No matter how mild– mannered Leon was, he still could not help feeling outraged at this mistreatment. He stayed for the sak e of helping Gloria, and now that Vincent did not appreciate his kindness, there was no point staying an y longer!

He tried his best; it was Vincent who was too stubborn to listen to what he said, and there was nothing else

he could do.

“Alright. I’ll excuse myself then!” Leon scoffed and turned to leave.

“I’ll send you out, Mister Wolf,” Fane sighed and followed behind him.

“Alright, the coast is clear now, Doctor Chase. Please save my wife!” Vincent’s gaze softened as he gla nced at his wife anxiously.

“Alright.” Doctor Chase nodded and proceeded to give Gloria an injection of the resuscitation shot in her arm.

The resuscitation shot worked like a charm; a few moments after that, Gloria’s eyelashes quivered, and she

slowly opened her eyes.

“Gloria! You’re finally awake!” Vincent was overjoyed by this and quickly approached her.

Snow was just as excited by this turn of events and followed suit behind her father.

“I was right!” Doctor Chase grinned triumphantly at the thought of the big, fat wad of money he would receive f rom Vincent as a reward.

“Belch-”

All of a sudden, Gloria retched and vomited a mouthful of fresh, bright red blood onto the white sheets.

With that, her eyelids fluttered shut, and she fell unconscious again.

Not only that, but the color drained from her face, and her breathing progressively got weaker and more

rapid.

“What’s wrong, Mother?” Snow let out a shriek of horror and tried calling her mother again, but Gloria did

not stir.

“How–How can this be?” Doctor Chase was utterly gobsmacked by this. He knew that one of the side effects of the resuscitation shot was retching, but he never expected Gloria to vomit out fresh bl

It was already serious enough for a normal, healthy person to vomit blood, but this was even more dang point!

“What’s going on, Doctor Chase?” vincent’s face turned pale and he immediately cast Doctor Chase a s

“I’m not sure!” panic spread across Doctor Chase’s face as he tried to figure out what was wrong.

Even an idiot could figure out that the resuscitation shot was the culprit behind this! “Mister Poole, pleas

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 485

Doctor Chase was trying desperately to evade all blame on him.

“Send her to the hospital? How can you say that so nonchalantly? How will my mother even tolerate th e journey there, considering how weak she is now? I’m afraid that she’ll be dead by the time she arrive s there!” Snow shrieked in anger, her eyes red–rimmed with tears of rage.

“I-” Doctor Chase did not know how to refute this. He knew Snow was right; Gloria’s condition was so cr itical at this point that one could not even be sure whether she would survive the journey to the hospital !

“Don’t worry, Snow, I’ll find a solution. I won’t let anything happen to your mother, even if it kills me!” Vin cent tried to reassure her, but deep down, even he did not know what else to do.

“What solution are you going to find? This is all your fault; Leon warned us so many times not to give M other the resuscitation shot, but you were the one who dismissed him and even chased him out! This is why Mother ended up this way! If anything bad happens to her, I’ll hate you for the rest of my life!” Snow bellowed at the top of her lungs.

As she did this, however, she could not stop the tears from falling.

“I-” Vincent’s face turned pale.

It was no wonder Snow was mad; if he took Leon’s advice seriously, Gloria would not have ended up lik e this. Even if Leon failed to revive her, at least she would not be in grave danger like she was now!

However, it was too late!

“Mister Poole, Miss Poole, Missus Poole’s condition is critical; we have to find a way to save her right n ow! I think we should try to get the Holy Doctor, Graham Elliot’s help! I’ll send someone to summon him right now!”

“There’s no need, Mister Hendrix, I have his contact; I’ll call him right now!” Vincent immediately perked up and took out his phone to call Graham.

His wife’s condition was critical and they could not afford to waste time; it would be quicker if he could get Graham to come here straight!

“Hello, Mister Poole, can I be of service?” Graham’s wise, deep voice rang out from the other end of th e line.

“Graham, I have a favor to ask of you; my wife has fallen unconscious, and her life is in danger. I don’t have time to send anyone to summon you, and I’m hoping you can come over to help her,” Vincent trie d to explain everything as quickly as he could.

Even though he was the Southern King, Graham’s reputation in the medical community spread far and w respect him.

“Mister Poole, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but I have so many patients to see that usually, my sched

One had to abide by the rules; Graham was so well– known in the medical world that throes of patients came to him for help every day, and most of them wer advance.

If he allowed Vincent to cut the queue, that would not be fair to other people who needed his help.

“Graham, I know it’s short notice, but my wife’s condition is hanging by a thread. She can’t afford to wait any longer. I was hoping you’d be able to help her, conside

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 486

Graham could hear the desperation and sincerity in Vincent’s voice, and he fell silent for a moment, co ntemplating this, before finally saying, “Alright. considering how serious the situation is, I’ll help you just this once, but you should know better than anyone that Missus Poole’s condition is complex; from my previ ous experience treating her, I know that the best I can do this time is to give her some medicine to help. her regain her strength, and nothing else.”

In the past, Vincent sought out Graham’s help with Gloria’s condition, but Graham could not manage to find the root of the problem.

“I know. My wife received a resuscitation shot just now, and soon after, she vomited blood and became unconscious again. I don’t wish for you to cure her disease entirely; all I wish for is that you’ll be able to resuscitate her,” Vincent sighed and tried to explain the situation as best as he could.

“What? She received a resuscitation shot?” Graham was astounded by this.

“Yes, is there something wrong?” Vincent asked. He could make an educated guess that the resuscitati on shot was probably the reason Gloria ended up like this, but since he was not well– versed in medicine, and since Doctor Chase denied all responsibility, he could not be sure of that.

“Of course there is! A resuscitation shot works by stimulating various organ functions in the body and c omes with serious side effects. Not even hospital doctors would dare to give these shots to a normal in dividual, much less a sick person. Considering how ill Missus Poole was all this while, giving a resuscit ation shot would equate to giving her a death sentence!” Graham said in disapproval.

He was experienced in both conventional and alternative medicine, so unlike Leon, he could easily und erstand and verbalize the side effects of these medications.

“Side effects? Rats!” the color drained from vincent’s face as he cast a murderous glare in Doctor Chas e’s

direction.

Graham was one of the pillars of the medical community in this city and thus, Vincent did not doubt a single

word.

If not for the fact that Doctor Chase used the resuscitation shot in an attempt to awaken his wife, Vince nt would have murdered him right that instant!

Doctor Chase could not help shuddering when he saw the way Vincent looked at him. Even though he could not hear anything of their conversation, his instinct told him that they were p robably talking about him- and not in a good way.

Guilt compelled him to find a way to escape without Vincent noticing, but Mister Hendrix was smart and knew he would do this–he already locked all the doors behind him so that there was no way of escaping!

All of a sudden, Graham’s voice rang out again, and Vincent tore his attention away from Doctor Chase an d instead tried to focus on what Graham was saying.

I “Mister Poole, I can’t believe you’d let this happen! If Missus Poole did not receive the resuscitation sho

“Graham, this is all my fault; I shouldn’t have let my family doctor give Gloria that resuscitation shot, but

He was beginning to panic now; if even Graham gave up trying to save Gloria, did that mean she was going to die without a d

“That’s the truth; I can’t do anything about it, and I think you’d better start preparing for the funeral,” Graham said, smiling bitterly.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 487

“How can this be-“Vincent staggered backward in despair.

As desolate as he felt, he loved his wife very much, and he was not willing to give up on her just like th at.” Graham, please, I’m begging you to think of something else. I’m willing to pay any price as long as you can save my wife.”

“Mister Poole, I can understand how you feel, but unfortunately, my expertise is limited and this is truly out of my control.” As he said this, however, a light bulb went off in Graham’s head. The image of a you ng man’s handsome face appeared in his mind. “Wait for a second, I’ve got an idea!”

Vincent was overjoyed by this. “What is it?”

“There’s another person in Springfield City who’s an even better doctor than I am! If you can get him to help you, I’m sure he’ll be able to save Missus Poole!” Graham replied, grinning.

“Is that so? That’s amazing news! Who is that person? I’ll send my men to summon him right this instan t!” Vincent was absolutely over the moon. A glimmer of hope was beginning to ignite within his despairi ng soul.

He knew that Graham was the best doctor in town, and even though he did not believe that anyone els e could surpass Graham, he was certain that there were surely limitations to Graham’s expertise, consi dering how broad the field was, spanning from internal medicine to surgery and even neurology.

Since even Graham claimed the person was better than him, Vincent was certain that whoever it was s urely possessed medical knowledge that was on par, if not better, than Graham’s, and perhaps this ma n could save

his wife!

“That man’s name is Leon Wolf, and he-” Graham did not even get to finish his sentence when vincent interjected, “What? Leon? Leon Wolf? Are you kidding me, Graham?”

Vincent could not believe his ears. Even though Leon questioned the use of the resuscitation shot, he s till admitted that he was not a proper doctor, and because of this, Vincent was under the impression tha t Leon

was insincere and not a legitimate doctor.

Therefore, it was astounding to hear Graham mention Leon’s name, much less refer to him as a doctor whose medical expertise surpassed his!

“Yes, his name’s Leon Wolf. I’m not kidding! As for where he lives, I’m not too sure about that. All I kno w

about him is that he has connections to the Youngs.” Graham tried to rack his brain about any informati on regarding Leon.

He met Leon on only a few occasions and thus did not know much about Leon’s personal life, much les s his

residential address.

However, he recalled that he first met Leon at the Young Mansion. At that time, Leon and Iris appeared to be close, and thus he deduced that either Iris or the rest of the Youngs would know where to find Leo n.

“Connections to the Youngs? Could this just be a coincidence?” Vincent froze in shock.

Back when Fane was stocking up on the Energy Nurturing Pills, he mentioned that Leon and the Shears were close, and this was how Fane got to learn about the insider news and managed to get his h grade pills.

Therefore, Vincent knew about Leon’s connection with the Shears, but he never heard the same about t

Youngs!

Springfield City was a big place, and it would not be a surprise to run into people with the same surname

Vincent let out a small sigh of relief at this.

After all, he just chased Leon out of his house. If the great doctor that Graham was talking about was indeed the same Leon, he did no

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 488

However, Graham’s next sentence immediately turned his blood cold!

“Mister Poole, I remember that Leon even helped cure Old Missus Shear. I’m sure you can ask the She ars, and they’ll be able to tell you where he is…” Graham added.

“Um…” Vincent felt as though he had been struck by lightning.

It was clear from what Graham said that this was the same person he had kicked out of his house just minutes ago!

At this moment, Vincent finally understood why Leon had been so confident about his ability to cure Glo ria; he had not been boasting at all!

It was his ignorance that led to him misunderstanding Leon!

“Why are you so quiet, Mister Poole?” graham could not help asking.

“Thank you, Graham… I know who you’re talking about now. I’ll ask him to help cure my wife right now! ” despite his face turning pale from the shock, Vincent still thanked Graham for his help before hanging up.

Seeing the solemn look on her father’s face, Snow suppressed the sorrow she felt and asked him anxio usly,” What’s wrong, Father? When is Graham coming over to help Mother?”

“Snow, time is running out, and I can’t explain everything to you now… You should stay here with your mother, and I’ll go bring Leon back!” Vincent turned and sprinted out of the room.

Leon had left not long ago and thus could not be far; he could still catch up with him.

Even though he and Leon had had an unpleasant encounter, he was willing to swallow his ego and beg for Leon to come back, as long as his wife could be saved!

Outside Poole Mansion, Fane had escorted Leon to the gates.

“I’m sorry about my father’s behavior, Leon. I hope you can forgive him for his rudeness,” Fane said, s miling apologetically.

“It’s okay. It’s just a minor misunderstanding, I’m not mad about it. All I’m concerned about is that will insist on giving Missus Poole that resuscitation shot that might kill her!” Leo n said, sighing.

He was not a petty person, and besides, Fane was his friend; even if Fane’s father had treated him without respect, he was willing to see past this and forgive him.

However, the only thing he was worried about was Gloria’s life. As a doctor, it was a huge pity to not be

Even if Doctor Chase’s resuscitation shot failed to help Gloria, surely it would not kill her!

He was not familiar with conventional medicine and thus did not know whether his guess would turn out to be right o

Leon did not reject Fane’s kindness. He stood in the same spot, waiting, until a few moments later, Fan e pulled up in front of him in a white convertible. “Get in, Mister Wolf.” He said, smiling.

Leon opened the passenger side door and was about to get into the car when all of a sudden, a frantic shout. rang out, “Wait! Mister Wolf, please wait!”

Vincent was running toward them at full speed, so much so that within seconds, he appeared in front of

Leon.

“Is there something else you want, Mister Poole?” Leon asked, frowning. Even though he did not intend to pursue this matter any further, Vincent was so rude to him just now that he was not willing to let it go so

easily.

“I-” Vincent opened his mouth and stared at him with a sheepish expression.

He misunderstood Leon and even chased him out of the house. Despite knowing he was in the wrong and that he needed to apologize, he still found it difficult to swallow his pride and apologize to a person more junior to him; he was the Southern King, after all.

“Father, please don’t tell me you intend to pick on Leon again.” Fane’s heart leaped into his throat as h e quickly got out of the car and stood in between Leon and his father, intending to stop their fight.

“No, I’m here to apologize,” Vincent took in a deep breath. At the thought of his wife’s critical condition, he decided that nothing mattered, not even his ego.

“Apologize? Do my ears deceive me?” Fane’s jaw dropped. He knew of his father’s status, and he was fully aware of how highly people in the Gangster World place worth in their dignity.

He never imagined, not even in his wildest dreams, that his father would apologize to Leon. This was

unbelievable!

Leon was silent for a moment before finally realizing what happened. His face turned pale as he asked, “Did something happen to Missus Poole, Mister Poole?”

“That’s right. Not only did she fail to awaken after receiving the resuscitation shot, but she even vomite d blood,” Vincent briefly explained what happened.

“What?” Fane was shocked by this. He grabbed hold of his father’s arm and asked frantically, “What’s going on with Mother now? is her condition very s erious?”

“Fane, please don’t panic. I have come here to ask Mister Wolf to return so he can help your mother,”

Vincent tried to reassure him.

“Can he save her? is that true?” Fane turned to Leon with an expectant look.

Leon remained silent.

“Mister Wolf, I’m sorry for what happened. It was all my fault, and my ignorance has caused me to act ou hope that you at least try to help my wife, even if it’s for Fane’s sake!” Vincent tried to beg again, thinking

“Besides, you also mentioned before that you’re quite confident that you’ll be able to help her. isn’t that s

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 490

Vincent’s face was etched with fear as he struggled to figure out whether Leon was holding a grudge o ver what happened, or if he was telling the truth about not being able to help!

“That was in the past, and things are different now! Truth be told, if you allowed me to treat her at the st art, I can indeed cure her, but now, after the resuscitation shot has taken effect, it has worsened her co ndition, and the cold in her body has probably already invaded her circulatory system. I no longer am c onfident about being able to help,” Leon said, shaking his head.

“How can this be? This is all my fault. It’s my ignorance and stubbornness that cost Gloria her life. It’s al l my fault!” Vincent’s face turned pale, and he wanted nothing more than to give himself two slaps to pu nish

himself.

Unfortunately, time could not be reversed, and no matter how much he regretted it, there was no going back

now!

“Mister Wolf, you say that you’re not confident, but you didn’t say it’s entirely impossible. Do you know how?” Fane asked in despair.

“The truth is, I have an idea, but the success rate is too low,” Leon said hesitantly.

A glimmer of hope was ignited within vincent’s heart once more. “Mister Wolf, since you have a plan, I’ m begging you to at least try it. No matter what happens or whether it works or not, our entire family will be grateful for your help!”

“He’s right! Mister Wolf, please try to help. Perhaps you might even get lucky and succeed,” begged Fa ne.

“It’s not that I don’t want to, but the risks are too insurmountable! Missus Poole’s condition is so complex that if this were to fail, it would bounce back onto me and destroy my Energy Foundation. I wo uld be willing to try if I was about sixty or seventy percent confident, but now, I’m less than ten percent confident in this plan succeeding. To proceed would be to embark on a s uicide mission!” Leon said, shaking his head.

The Energy Foundation was the basis of every martial artist, and if it were to be destroyed, one would s uffer the fate of not being able to progress in martial arts for the rest of his life, or even lose his powers altogether!

Despite the fact that Leon, too, wanted to save Gloria, he knew that her condition was so severe that th e chances of it succeeding were very slim.

If he continued to help her, not only would he fail to save her, but it would even cost him his would not d are to do such a foolish task!

powers. He

“Um,”

“Vincent and Fane were speechless at this, and their hearts sank.

They could both understand Leon’s hesitation; this encompassed such a huge risk that no one would d are to help!

Therefore, they were not surprised about Leon’s refusal to help.

However, this did not stop them from feeling despair.

Vincent and Gloria spent most of their lives together and weathered many storms. Thus, they were extremely close; it was with G support and help that he managed to overcome the toughest crisis in his life and achieved what he had

Therefore, his wife was far more important than money or status, and even surpassed his own life!

Now that Leon was the only person who could save his wife, despite the slim chances of it succeeding,

“Thud!”

With a loud slam, Vincent got onto his knees in front of Leon, with no regard for his dignity as the Southe

King anymore.

“Mister Poole! What are you doing?” Leon was shocked by this and quickly tried to help Vincent up, but Vincent was so tall that n
