The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 871
Therefore, he would take the challenge and let Leon try it out. As long as he could make it to the Overlord State, Harold would not dare to hurt him!
“Alright, I’ll try it!” Vincent said through gritted teeth.
However, he did not have much hope for this–this was far too bizarre to be true, and he did not dare to have any expectations for Leon.
Snow and Cynthia were stunned to see Vincent agree. Even though none of them truly believed that Leon was capable of helping Harold achieve the Overlord State, they decided that it would be no harm to try it out, provided that Leon would not endanger Harold’s life.
“Alright then, off to the dojo we go!” an expression of delight crossed Leon’s face as he let out a sigh of relief.
“Okay, but wait, you haven’t fully recovered yet, so are you sure this will be fine? If not, please don’t strain yourself. We can always try again in a few days when you’re feeling better,” Vincent said dubiously.
He never thought much about trying, and now that Leon looked so frail in the wheelchair, he felt even less confident about succeeding.
“That’s okay. I don’t even need to do anything during this process, all I need is to guide you from the sidelines, so there’s nothing to worry about. Besides, I’ve already recovered some of my true energy, and if anything happens, I’ll be able to salvage the situation,” Leon replied, smiling.
“Um, okay then.” Vincent had no choice but to follow Leon and the others to the dojo.
“Mister Poole, let me first show you something,” Leon immediately recalled the formula to activate and rejuvenate one’s hidden power and taught it to Vincent.
Vincent did not know how Leon was going to carry this out, but he still listened attentively to Leon’s teaching and wrote everything down.
Then, Leon took out three Pure Energy Pills and handed them to Vincent. “Now, swallow all three of these
pills together!”
“What? I remember you told me in the past that a martial artist is only supposed to ingest one Pure Energy Pill at a time. Taking too many at once will endanger one’s life and possibly cause death! Now, you’re asking me to take all three at once. Have you gotten it wrong?” Vincent could not help wondering if Leon was messing with him.
“That’s right. One is not supposed to ingest too many Pure Energy Pills at once, but don’t you worry, the formula that I taught you just now is made to activate one’s hidden power and will stifle the Pure Energy Pill’s immense energy! Just do as I say, and I promise nothing will go wrong,” Leon reassured him as best as he could.
“I-” Vincent was still dubious over this. Even though Leon was confident that nothing would go wrong, he still could not help feeling worried. At this moment, he was even regretting letting Leon do this–he should not have allowed Leon to experiment with his life!
However, he was the Southern King, after all, and one of the most recognized public figures in the city. Since he already gave his word, there was no way he could go back on it and risk humiliating himself!
‘It’s too late now, let’s just go with it!‘ he thought. After all, Leon was close to them, and he was certain that
Leon would not dare to hurt him.
At this thought, Vincent finally did as Leon said and swallowed the three Pure Energy Pills whole!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 872
“Vincent, focus your energy on your breath and try to practice the formula I’ve given you. Don’t get distracted!” Leon reminded.
“Alright.” Vincent took in a deep breath, turned his attention inwards, and with Leon’s help, began to nurture the secret formula that Leon gave him to enhance his powers as he absorbed the energy contained within those three pills.
The energy contained within the Pure Energy Pills was so concentrated that from the moment they entered Vincent’s mouth, they melted into three streams of warm, pulsating energy and gushed toward his heart.
At the start, Vincent could still suppress the immense energy surging within him, but as the power began to build and eventually started ricocheting within him, he gradually lost control of his own true energy.
All of a sudden, beads of cold sweat covered his forehead as he grimaced in agony, which was the first sign of losing control of one’s own power!
“How are you feeling now, Father?” Snow was beginning to grow worried when she saw the strange look on
Vincent’s face.
“I- um,” Vincent was just about to reply when all of a sudden, a burst of energy exploded within him, and fie vomited out a mouthful of bright red blood.
“Father, what’s going on? I’m starting to get scared,” Snow frantically stepped forward, intending to help her father, but paused. She knew that one was not supposed to disturb or even touch someone who was in the middle of their training.
“What’s going on? This shouldn’t have happened,” the color drained from Leon’s face. He just followed Harold’s instructions down to every word, and since Harold succeeded in attaining the Overlord State this way, there was no way this could fail for Vincent!
However, unbeknownst to Leon, Harold condensed all three Pure Energy Pills into a gigantic one to aid absorption, and because he left out this critical step, the three separate Pure Energy Pills exploded and were beginning to fight against each other within Vincent’s body, which was why he ended up in this state.
This step, although minor, was critical in the training to attain the Overlord State, and Leon neglected to realize this!
“This is all your fault, Leon! We insisted that you shouldn’t help my father attain the Overlord State this way, yet you didn’t listen to us! If anything happens to my father, I’ll never forgive you,” Snow bellowed, her eyes brimming with tears of panic.
“Snow, please calm down. Leon has already promised that he would ensure Vincent’s safety during this whole process, and I’m sure he’ll be fine. You don’t have to worry,” Cynthia reassured her. Then, she immediately turned to Leon and said, “Leon, aren’t you going to help Vincent?”
“Yes, I’m doing that right now,” Leon immediately broke out of his stupor and took out a few silver needles.
Then, stifling the immense fatigue he felt within him, he conjured his true energy and sent the needles flying, where they stuck precisely into a few pressure points on Vincent’s chest, effectively protecting his heart.
This was the Ghost Point, a method of acupuncture that was second to only the Six Points of Fate. It was meant to suppress and eventually evacuate one’s uncontrollable true energy.
With Leon’s help, the pulsating energy within Vincent’s body was able to be suppressed, and Vincent’s face gradually began to relax.
Despite this, his entire face was still scarlet, as though he would bleed from any part of his face at any second. This did not look good, and there was a risk of self–combustion at any moment!
It was clear that as effective as the Ghost Point was, it could only do so much in helping control the Pure Energy Pills‘ power!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 873
Snow’s eyes were brimming with tears. She grabbed hold of Leon’s collar in menace as though she wanted to kill him right on the spot.
“What’s going on, Leon?” Cynthia was also beginning to panic.
“Snow, stay calm and wait for a while longer,” Leon replied hesitantly.
The Ghost Point was meant to suppress and evacuate one’s power, and now that its effects were limited, the only way would be to release Vincent’s power through the silver needles to spare his life!
However, if he released the energy from the pills, there was no way Vincent could go on trying to attain the Overlord State, and all their efforts would have been in vain!
At this point, Leon was still able to save Vincent, but he did not want to have all his efforts go to waste!
“Wait? I can’t believe you’re asking me to wait until my father is in this state! If we hold on any longer, he might not even survive!” Snow was outraged by this.
“Snow, please trust me. I won’t let anything happen to Vincent,” Leon replied calmly. Even though Vincent’s situation was not good, he could still sense the energy within Vincent gradually beginning to calm down and even ascend. If Vincent could hold on for just a little longer, he was certain that he would be able to reach the Overlord State!
Unfortunately, the Ghost Point was limited in helping suppress the surging energy within Vincent, and there was no telling how Vincent was going to push through this if it was even possible at all!
“Trust you? I trusted you just now, and yet my father ended up like this!” Snow snarled.
How was she supposed to trust him again after what happened? Did he think she was an idiot?
Leon, on the other hand, was calm. He contemplated this for a moment, then soon developed an idea.
“Vincent, I’m going to teach you another trick. It’s called the Dispel Demon Method, and if you use it to absorb the Pure Energy Pills‘ power, it will help you successfully attain the Overlord State!” Leon explained.
The Dispel Demon Method belonged to the Advanced Power class and was designed to speed up the absorption of energy. With the help of both the Dispel Demon Method and the Ghost Points, Leon was sure that Vincent would be able to survive this and succeed in attaining the Overlord State!
“Leon, what are you doing? How would teaching me another trick at a time like this benefit me at all,” Vincent replied in a croaky voice, giving Leon a bitter smile as his heart sank.
He belonged to the Ultimate Progressive class, which was already the highest Power Method attainable in Springfield City. Even though he did not hear of the Dispel Demon Method, he could make an educated guess that it would not be something too challenging for him, and there was no way Leon could teach anything to him that he did not already know!
However, this was not the point. The point was, he was already in critical condition now, yet Leon was about to teach him another power method. What was this man thinking?
“Leon, you can’t possibly help my father attain the Overlord State. It’s impossible–so don’t continue living in that bubble of yours!” Snow was about to erupt in rage when she heard of Leon’s intentions. If it were not
for the fact that Leon helped them through countless difficult times, she would have pounced and killed him by now!
“That’s not true! Vincent, Snow, Leon’s Power Methods are unsurpassed. Perhaps there will be a miracle,‘ Cynthia could not help trying to back Leon up. She knew that the Dispel Demon Method belonged to the Advanced Power class and was extremely valuable. Not only that, but the more trained one was, the faster one would be able to attain the power method needed. Perhaps Leon was right, and that learning the Dispel Demon Method would help Vincent recover quicker.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 874
“Cynthia, it’s already bad enough for Leon to go insane–why are you doing this with him?” Snow was utterly stunned by this and turned to stare at Cynthia in disbelief. She did not understand how Cynthia was still on Leon’s side after witnessing all that he did!
“Vincent, listen to me. I’ll teach you the Dispel Demon Method right now,” Time was running out, and Leon did not have the time to explain anything further to Vincent and Snow. Instead, he quickly recited the spell for the Dispel Demon Method.
Since things were already in this state, Vincent had no choice but to remember the spell and start training that way, using the Dispel Demon Method to absorb and condense the Pure Energy Pills‘ power.
With the help of the Dispel Demon Method and the Ghost Point’s control over the energy, a miracle was beginning to take place!
The energy surging and ricocheting within Vincent’s body gradually began to settle.
Not only that, but he could also clearly feel that with the Dispel Demon Method’s help, he was absorbing the power far faster than any of the power methods in the Ultimate Progressive class could. If his guesses were correct, this was probably a spell that belonged to the Advanced Power class!
“This is the Advanced Power class! How can this be?” a wave of shock and disbelief surged into Vincent’s heart. The Absolute Methods already got lost in time, and even the Power Methods were rarely seen nowadays, but even more so the Ultimate Power or even the Advanced Power classes. These Power Methods were the secret weapon that every martial artist longed for!
Initially, he thought the Dispel Demon Method was just a lowly spell, but never once did he imagine, not even in his wildest dreams, that Leon would have taught him a spell from the Advanced Power class, one of the most valuable Power Methods known to mankind!
One could only imagine his shock!
“Advanced Power Class?” Snow echoed dubiously.
“The Dispel Demon Method is one of the most powerful spells among the Advanced Power Class,” Vincent could not even begin to describe his awe and shock. Even though he was the Southern King and thus saw plenty of miracles in his time, he still could not contain his excitement when faced with the Power Methods!
“What?” Snow was utterly stunned by this and turned to gape at Leon. She could not believe this was true.
The highest one could attain in Springfield City was the Ultimate Progressive Class, and no one in the city ever reached even the Basic Power Class. She could not even begin to imagine how Leon attained the Advanced Power Class!
However, since her father insisted this was the case, she believed him fully.
“Vincent, continue your training, and don’t get distracted!” Leon reminded.
“Okay,” Vincent quickly suppressed his emotions and continued channeling the Dispel Demon Method. However, it was too late–because of his fluctuating mood, his training got affected and the energy that was previously contained within him was beginning to surge and pulsate once more.
“Oh no!” a dark expression crossed Leon’s face as he channeled all the energy within him and sent it surging to Vincent.
Even though he was yet to gain his full strength, with the help of the Ghost Point, he successfully gained
control of the energy surging within Vincent.
Recognizing this opportunity, Vincent quickly practiced the Dispel Demon Method once more and began absorbing the energy of the Pure Energy Pills.
Leon, on the other hand, did not dare to let go and instead gritted his teeth as he tried to pull through this.
After God knows how long, Vincent’s entire body shuddered as a gust of energy burst out of him, emanating outwards like a sun’s ray and engulfing everyone in awe.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 875
“I can’t believe it–I did it! I’ve attained the Overlord State!” Vincent could not help bursting into laughter at this realization.
Initially, he thought Leon was overly confident in his claims, especially during the most critical moment of his training, he had at one point thought Leon was trying to harm him on purpose.
However, now he finally understood that Leon told the truth all along!
Leon successfully helped him attain the Overlord State!
One could only imagine how excited and joyful he was at finally attaining his dream for the past few years!
Leon, on the other hand, was not at all delighted. Instead, his entire face turned pale, and his forehead was covered in beads of cold sweat as though all the strength in his body was sucked out of him. He slumped onto the ground in a heap.
“Leon, are you okay? What happened?” Cynthia was shocked by this and quickly helped him. up and back into his wheelchair.
“I’m fine, just a little tired,” Leon said, panting. When he finally settled in, he forced out a smile and congratulated Vincent, “Vincent, congratulations on making it to the Overlord State!”
“Thud-”
Vincent immediately got onto one knee.
“What are you doing, Vincent?” Leon was utterly stunned by this and quickly reached out to help Vincent up.
“Leon, thank you, thank you so much. Not only did you help me attain the Overlord State, but you even taught me such a powerful spell that belongs to the Advanced Power class! I don’t know how I can even begin to repay you for such a deed!” Vincent was so touched by this that tears began to stream down his face uncontrollably.
“Vincent, you’re being too kind. We’re friends, and friends help each other out in times of need,” Leon replied, smiling.
“No, I’m not being too kind at all! In order to repay your gratitude, I, Vincent Poole, hereby vow to help you in times of need in the future, even if it means putting my own life at risk!” Vincent declared.
“Father, did you attain the Overlord State? This is unbelievable!” Snow’s face was etched with shock. She glanced first at Vincent, then at Leon, unable to believe her eyes!
Cynthia was the same–initially, she did not have much faith that Leon would succeed in helping Vincent attain the Overlord State, but now, the facts were sitting right in front of her, and there was no way she could deny it!
This was the moment she finally realized she once again underestimated Leon, and that he was far more powerful than she could even begin to imagine!
“Snow, you insulted Leon many times just now. Apologize to him right this instant!” Vincent shot his daughter a murderous glare. If he remembered correctly, Snow scolded Leon multiple times during the course of his training and even got so mad at one point that she looked as though she would tear him apart!
“I’m sorry, Leon. I didn’t mean to come off so aggressive. I hope you can forgive me,” Snow’s face blushed scarlet as she apologized to Leon sincerely.
“That’s okay, Snow. It’s just something minor. I wouldn’t lose sleep over it,” Leon replied, smiling. Even though he and Snow did not know each other that long, the two of them were close.
The last time that Morgan Fields ambushed them, Snow even took a hit for him, and from that moment onwards, he treated Snow as though she were his sister. Of course he would not be mad at her over such a minor issue!
“Leon, you’re still recovering, so you’d better get some rest. Snow and I will get going now, lest we take up more of your time.” Vincent glanced at the time.
“Wait! Vincent, I have something I need to tell the both of you–I’ll be getting engaged to Cynthia in three days, and I sincerely hope you’ll be able to make it to my engagement party.”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 877
“Don’t be sad, Iris. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and Leon’s not going to be the only one you’ll fall for! Since he’s not willing to reconcile, that’s his loss. He’s not worth you crying over him; you can always find a better, even more handsome man than him,” Louisa tried to reassure her. She could not help feeling outraged at the thought of Leon.
She used to be close to Leon, and every time Iris mistrusted or misunderstood him, she would stand on Leon’s side without hesitation and help them patch things up, but now, because of how hurt Iris felt over Leon’s rejection, Louisa’s feelings toward Leon dissipated altogether.
“No, I can’t give up just like this!” a determined look crossed Iris’ face as she calmed down and recalled all the memories between her and Leon.
Louisa froze at this. “He’s not willing to reconcile and is even getting engaged to Cynthia soon. What are you going to do, if not give up?”
“As long as he and Cynthia have not gotten engaged yet, there’s still a chance! I’ve missed out on too many chances to win him back, I can’t let this opportunity slip by again!” Iris said defiantly. She knew that she did not have much time left, and Leon and Cynthia’s engagement party was probably the last chance she could get to change his mind.
If Leon and Cynthia got engaged, that would mean the end of her and Leon’s relationship altogether!
“Iris, are you going to sabotage their engagement party?” Louisa seemed to understand what Iris was hinting at.
“That’s right. I’m going to ask Leon to give me another chance in public, and he’ll have to choose between me and Cynthia!” Iris nodded.
She would not give up, not until the last possible moment when it came to winning Leon’s heart back. If faced with the choice between her and Cynthia, he still chose to be with Cynthia, Iris would admit defeat and let this go!”
“Iris, I don’t think it’d be a good idea for you to sabotage someone else’s engagement party like this.” Ariel was shocked to hear this. She could not believe that Iris, who was usually an arrogant person, would stoop so low as to sabotage Leon and Cynthia’s engagement just to change his mind!
“That’s nonsense! Since Leon could put his ego aside to sabotage me and Jacob’s planned marriage, why can’t I sabotage his and Cynthia’s engagement? As for Cynthia, she was the one who lied to me at first and made me lose the chance to reconcile with Leon. Thus, I’ll just be getting back at her for this!” Iris explained calmly.
“Iris, that’s a great idea, and I support you fully! That Cynthia stole your man, and she deserves to be punished for this. You have to find a way to steal Leon back from her no matter what!” Louisa clapped in excitement. She was always a feisty girl and was always looking for mischief, and she loved Iris‘ plan!
Besides, from all the television shows she had seen, the scenes of a wedding crasher always looked exciting, and she longed to try it out sometime! The idea of helping Iris steal Leon back at the engagement party was extremely exciting for her!
“But Iris, you have to think twice about this. What if Leon still insists on choosing Cynthia? He’ll be rejecting you in front of everyone else, are you sure you can swallow your pride this way?”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 879
“Thud! Thud!”
Just as Walter was pondering this, a series of footsteps echoed from outside, and a few moments later, Theodore entered the room.
“Grandpa, the Northern King, Harold Lowe wishes to see you. He has something important he wants to discuss with you,” Theodore declared.
“Harold Lowe? What on earth docs he want?” Walter was a little shocked to hear this. Everyone knew that the Lowes and Leon never got along, and now that Harold came to him at this time, Walter could easily guess that he had come to seek help about Leon and Cynthia’s engagement!
“Theodore, send him in,” he instructed.
“Yes, Grandpa,” Theodore replied and was about to leave when a burst of laughter echoed from outside.
“There’s no need for that, Walter, I’m already here!” Harold cackled as he strode into the room.
“Your Majesty the Northern King, please sit! What can I help you with?” Walter gestured for Harold to sit and sent Theodore out of the room.
“Walter, I’ll just be straightforward with you. I know that Leon Wolf is both the Lowes and the Fields‘ common enemy! Now that he’s about to get engaged to Cynthia Shear, we have to find a way to stop this! Once he becomes the Shears‘ son–in–law, it will be harder for us to get rid of him in the future!” Harold said solemnly as a glint of menace flashed through his eyes.
“I know that, and I’m the last person who would want to see this marriage happen! However, Leon Wolf is no easy target, and apart from the Shears, he has the Southern King and the Wicks behind his back. I’m afraid that just the Lowes and the Fields alone will not be able to carry this out!” Walter sighed. He already sent Morgan and the rest to kill Leon once and for all, but his plan failed and instead led Benedict and the Southern King, Vincent to take revenge on him.
After that incident, Walter no longer dared to touch even a hair on Leon’s head, not unless he was certain he would succeed!
“Don’t worry, Mister Fields, I already have a perfect plan. I intend to also ask the Youngs and the Collins to join our forces! With the four of us, not only will we be able to sabotage Leon and Cynthia’s engagement, we will even be able to get rid of him once and for all, ruining the Shears entirely!” Harold sneered. The reason he came to see Walter was to ask him to join their alliance against Leon and the Shears.
It would be better if, during this process, they managed to kill Leon and even defeat the Shears once and for all!
“That sounds like a great idea, but do you think the Youngs and the Collins will agree to join forces?” Walter asked hesitantly. The four major families were always constant competitors among each other and valued money above anything else. At the Cynthion Group’s sales drive, he and the Youngs and the Collins formed. an alliance to bring down the Shears, but in the end, they split due to differences in their goals and collapsed internally.
Walter still remembered all of this, so now, when Harold brought up the idea of forming an alliance, he was worried the same thing would happen!
“Don’t worry about the Youngs. I’ve already talked to them and gotten their word. The only people we have to convince now are the Collins. As long as we can get them to join us, we can carry out the plan. Now that Leon is joining forces with the Shears, this will pose a huge threat to most of the major families in
Springfield City, and I’m sure the Collins will not want this to happen. If we manage to convince them, I’m sure they’ll agree to help!”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 876
Leon seized the opportunity to invite them.
“Oh, is that so? Congratulations! I promise I’ll be there!” Vincent replied, grinning.
“Engaged?” The smile froze on Snow’s face as a strange feeling seeped into her heart.
She and Leon went through so much over the last few months and even went through life and death. together. During this process, she began to develop feelings for Leon, but because he was her brother, Fane’s best friend, she always refrained from acting on her feelings and always thought of him as a little brother.
On top of that, she knew from the start that Leon was close with the Shears, especially Cynthia. Therefore, it made sense that Cynthia and Leon would eventually get together.
“Leon, Cynthia, you guys are a match made in heaven. I wish you a lifetime of happiness!” Snow said, stifling the strange feeling in her heart.
With that, she and her father left Shear Mansion, while Cynthia wheeled Leon back to his room to rest.
Dragonbay Villa.
After leaving Shear Mansion, Iris returned home rather desolately, followed closely behind by a concerned Louisa and Ariel.
“Iris, how did your reconciliation with Leon go? Did he say yes?” Gilbert asked nonchalantly.
“No,” Iris replied as she swept past him, making a beeline straight to her room.
“I knew it. That’s great!” an expression of delight crossed Gilbert’s face as he felt a weight lift off his shoulders.
The truth was, he favored Anson even more, and considering the financial benefit and status this union would bring the family, he longed for his daughter to get married to Anson instead.
Therefore, he was overjoyed that Iris and Leon’s reconciliation did not work out!
“Uncle Gilbert, how can you say that? Iris is devastated at this, and it’s bad enough that you didn’t try to console her, now you’re rubbing salt in her wound!” Louisa said rather indignantly.
“I’m not. I’m just saying what a pity it is that Leon rejected her reconciliation,” Gilbert let out an awkward cough as he stifled his grin, but the truth was, he was absolutely over the moon about this news.
“Whatever!” Louisa scoffed. Then, she and Ariel both followed Iris into her room, intending to console her broken heart.
Inside the room, Iris could not hold herself together anymore. She crumpled onto her bed in a heap, her tears finally spilling out like water trickling out of a dam, sobbing uncontrollably.
One would only cherish something after it’s been lost.
She took Leon for granted when she was still with him, and even chased him out of the house just based on her father and grandfather’s persuasion.
Now that she lost Leon for good, she finally realized just how important he was to her. without him, it was as though she lost her soul. The pain she felt was so excruciating that it was as though her entire world lost its color!
At this moment, she regretted how badly she treated Leon and distrusted him in the beginning. If she showed him even an ounce of trust, things would not have progressed to this state!
Unfortunately, she realized this too late!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 878
“Don’t be sad, Iris. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and Leon’s not going to be the only one you’ll fall for! Since he’s not willing to reconcile, that’s his loss. He’s not worth you crying over him; you can always find a better, even more handsome man than him,” Louisa tried to reassure her. She could not help feeling outraged at the thought of Leon.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 880
Harold was confident when he said this.
“Alright then, let’s go pay Collins a visit!” Walter said, slamming the table in determination. This was his way of agreeing to join Harold’s alliance.
Meanwhile, at Shear Mansion, the entire house was decorated with streamers and lanterns to signify the joyful occasion.
There was a large open–air courtyard in front of Shear Mansion that was capable of hosting several thousands of people. The Shears set up a majestic stage in the center of the courtyard for Leon and Cynthia’s party. The stage was surrounded by pastel blue streamers that crisscrossed in a way to resemble the night sky, and matching balloons bobbed in the win, with rose petals streaming down intermittently. Even in the blazing sun, the floating rose petals resembled stars scattered in the night sky.
A red carpet was laid out down the center of the aisle with bouquets of intricate floral arrangements flanking the sides, forming a beautiful sight for the beholder. The decorations were luxurious yet intricate, and everyone who stepped foot into this place paused to admire the view!
The red carpet led all the way to a small flight of steps that ultimately led to the stage, which was surrounded by a row of fountains arranged in a semi–circle, spurting jets of clear water several feet into the air, making the entire place appear even more magical.
This garden -style setup was a huge leap from any traditional engagement party anyone had ever been to. The open–air concept seemed to interconnect the guests with the beauty of the nature surrounding them. The intricate decorations coupled with the soothing music, and the beautiful designs specially made for Leon and Cynthia by world–renowned designs, showcased the wealth and grace of the two soon–to–be betrothed.
Meanwhile, in the makeup room backstage, the makeup artists were hard at work. Considering this was Cynthia’s big day, the Shears spent considerable money to hire a dozen or so top makeup artists, fashion. designers, and stylists from all over the country.
At this moment, they were hard at work transforming Cynthia.
Soon, everything was ready. When Cynthia stepped out of the fitting room in her dress and flawless makeup, everyone in the room, including the makeup artists who did her makeup, was stunned by her astonishing beauty!
At this moment, one could not even think of the words to describe how beautiful she looked. Her dainty face and rosy skin held up her flawless makeup perfectly, and her doe–like eyes gleamed as she batted her eyelashes.
She was wearing a short pastel pink dress with tassels on the trimming, which revealed the rosy skin on her arms and complemented her skin tone perfectly. Her entire body seemed to be glowing from the inside out, and the dress hugged her curves perfectly, skimming over her slender waist down to her calves.
Her slender legs were covered in a pair of nude stockings that clung to her curves and shimmering skin. She looked so beautiful as though she were a goddess that just walked out of an ancient Greek painting.
“How gorgeous!”
“You look absolutely stunning, Cynthia!” Leon was utterly in awe of this.
Cynthia was one of the Four Beauties in Springfield City, and now, with the help of the makeup artists, her features were enhanced to a point that everyone else in the room seemed to falter next to her.
