Chapter 1019

Her concern was that the Shears might not have the wild Panax Leon looked for and Leon looked for it elsewhere.

“You’ll regret it for not listening to your father! I told you that Leon doesn’t have what it takes to get the Panax from the Shears! After what he did to them, asking the Shears for help is just as good as asking to be killed! I told you not to do it, but you just won’t listen. Look what happens!” Gilbert snorted smugly.

He already warned Leon not to go to the Shears, so if Leon died, he would have no one but himself to blame.

“Who said that I can’t get the Panax?” Leon strode into the room calmly.

“Leon! You’re fine!” Gilbert was shocked to see Leon return safely.

He thought that Leon would at least be severely injured by the Shears and did not expect him to be completely fine.

“Leon, you’re finally back! What took you so long?” Iris hurried over excitedly.

“Well,” He muttered sheepishly.

It took him hours to massage Cynthia and cheer her up, but since it was not something he could say out loud, he did not know how to respond.

“Why are you even asking, Iris? He doesn’t have the Panax and was probably too ashamed to come back right away!” Gilbert smirked when he saw the awkward expression on Leon’s face.

“It’s fine if you don’t have it, Leon. I can figure something else out,” Iris said in disappointment as she thought that Leon failed as well.

After all, a wild Panax that grew for over three hundred years was extremely rare and it was normal that the Shears did not possess it.

“Why said that I didn’t get it? I’m literally holding it right now.” He showed them the box in his hand.

“What?!”

“You got the Panax? Seriously?!”

Both Gilbert and Iris gaped, noticing a box in Leon’s hand.

“Of course!” He opened the box and showed them the wild Panax that was fifty centimetres in length.

“You actually got it from the Shears? H- How is that possible?!” Gilbert’s jaw dropped.

After what happened between Leon and the Shears, he thought that Leon was insane to seek their help. To his bewilderment, not only did Leon return unscathed, he successfully obtained the Panax from the Shears.

It was so far–fetched that he could not comprehend how Leon managed to do so.

“That’s great!” Iris was overjoyed and the disappointment in her eyes faded.

She was concerned that the Shears might not have the Panax, but they were lucky enough and Leon returned with the Panax they needed.
