Chapter 1274

“What do you mean, this has nothing to do with me? You promised my family that you’d help me advance to the Overlord State, so of course I have to tag along with you wherever you go in the meantime!” Ruth replied defiantly.

“Oh, stop it! You’re just pestering me because you want the rest of the Mysterious Maiden Method!”

Leon scoffed. He could see right through Ruth easily.

“So what if I am? If you’re willing to pass on the rest of the Mysterious Maiden Method to me, I won’t follow you to Sky County,” Ruth said after some consideration. On the one hand, she was doing this to get her hands on the Mysterious Maiden Method, as Leon guessed, but on the other hand, she thought that being by Leon’s side was far more interesting than being on her own. Not only would she be able to learn martial arts with him, but she could also even tag along while he searched for treasure, thus she did not want to miss out on his next adventure to Sky County.

“No! I’ve already told you, I’ll only give you the rest of the Mysterious Maiden Method once you attain the Overlord State!” Leon rejected her without hesitation.

“I know! That’s why I won’t leave your sight until I attain the Overlord State!” Ruth nodded earnestly.

“Um,” Leon froze at this. Although Ruth’s logic was reasonable, he could not help feeling a little strange, as though something was amiss, but he could not put his finger on it.

“Leon, since Ruth wants to come along, we should let her come to Sky County too!” Cynthia’s melodic voice rang out all of a sudden as she wheeled two suitcases out of a room next door.

“We? Cynthia, are you coming to Sky County too?” Leon was stunned when he caught sight of Cynthia’s luggage. He planned on bringing just Iris to Sky County. On the one hand, this would allow him to be rid of Ruth’s constant yapping, and on the other hand, he thought Cynthia was being too ridiculous, and that she would eventually give up on him if he left Springfield City for a while.

He would be hitting two birds with one stone!

However, he never thought, not even in his wildest dreams, that Ruth and Cynthia would both want to tag along with him to Sky County.

Leon did not know whether to laugh or cry at this.

“That’s right! Since Grandpa has already given us his blessing, in some way or other, I’ll follow you wherever you go!” Cynthia nodded.

“But, who will look after Cynthion Group in your absence?” Leon was beginning to panic at this. He did not want Cynthia to follow him to Sky County, for fear that their relationship would only become even more entangled from there on out.

“It’s okay, I’ve already handed everything over to Janice! Besides, you’re the alchemist behind Cynthion Group, so what point is there in me staying if you’re not even around? I might as well tag along with you to Sky County and set up another branch there to expand our market,” Cynthia explained.

Following Leon to Sky County seemed like the best option she had, no matter on a personal or business note.
