Chapter 1014

“The Shears are the biggest supplier for raw medical ingredients, so who else would have the ability to find a wild Panax that has grown for three hundred years? You might as well say that you can’t treat him!” Gilbert scoffed.

Most of the herbs and raw materials for medical purposes were managed by the Shears and while other families might be able to obtain some, any herb that grew for hundreds of years was hard to come back.

Since Gilbert was denounced from the Youngs and lost everything, he could not obtain such a thing.

“That’s right! The Shears might have it!” Iris’s eyes lit up, “Leon, why don’t you visit the Shears and see if Cynthia can help get a wild Panax that has grown for three hundred years?”

Before Leon could say anything, Gilbert blurted out, “Iris, have you gone mad? Everyone in Springfield City knows that the Shears have turned their backs on Leon! You are sending him to his death if you send him to the Shears!” Gilbert gaped at Iris.

After what happened between Leon and the Shears, it was foresecable that Leon would be beaten and thrown. out to the streets if he dared to go to them, and there was not a doubt in Gilbert’s mind that Leon could never obtain the Panax from the Shears.

“Don’t be so sure just yet! Maybe Leon can do it!” Iris beamed.

She felt glad that she got Leon and Cynthia to make peace ahead of time. It was merely an act of kindness when she gave the two a chance, and it came back around to help save her grandfather.

Iris could not help but feel like everything happened for a reason.

“No way! Unless there’s a miracle, Leon would never get anything from the Shears!” Gilbert sneered.

“Is that so? Dad, let’s wait and see, then. I think Leon will get it!” Iris shot Leon a knowing look. “Am I right, Leon?”

“Um, I guess I’ll try,” He smiled sheepishly, not knowing if he would succeed.

After all, a wild Panax that has grown for three hundred years was rare and though the Shears might have. other herbs such as fleece flower roots that grew for that long, they might not have Panaxes.

“Keep dreaming! I look forward to seeing what you’re capable of!” Gilbert scoffed as he knew that it was unrealistic to think that Leon could obtain any help from the Shears.

Meanwhile, inside the president office in Cynthion Group, Cynthia sat in front of her desk and had her head buried in the papers before her.

“Damn you, Leon! You haven’t even come to see me since you left the last time! Do you even care about me at all?” Frustrated, all the papers in front of her seemed to turn into Leon’s face that very moment.

She doodled on the paper, before tearing them off and tossing them onto the ground.

Since she was focused on the task in hand, she did not notice a figure slipping through the door to stand behind her.

“Cynthia, are you drawing me?”
