Chapter 1480

“What? This twat has a treasure with him? Is this true?” Angus could not believe his ears. He knew just how rare treasures were, especially those that harnessed Light Energy–they were so hard to come by that not even any of the Thompsons managed to get their hands on one!

Angus never once dreamed that a nobody like Leon would be able to get his hands on the treasure they sought!

One could only imagine his shock at this!

“As true as it can ever be, Father! Leon has already promised me that he will lend the treasure to us if he can’t cure Roanne successfully,” Yuri added.

“Well, it’s no wonder!” Angus finally understood why his son was willing to allow Leon, who was not even a legitimate doctor, to try his hand at treating Roanne. It turned out that Yuri was doing this all for the treasure!

“Splendid, this is splendid! I can’t believe the treasure is right in front of us all this while!” Angus burst into laughter, then turned to stare at Leon with a softened gaze. “Can you lend us your treasure now, Mister Wolf? Don’t you worry, we Thompsons are honest people, and I promise that once Roanne gets back, I will give you a hefty reward for your trouble!” he declared.

The Thompsons were the most powerful family in the Southern region, and he guessed that Leon was probably insisting on treating Roanne himself because he wanted to withhold the treasure until he got some reward out of it!

He was certain that Leon would never be able to resist a hefty cash reward!

However, what happened next shocked him to the core.

“No! I won’t lend you the treasure!” Leon said, shaking his head.

“Why not? Are you trying to use this to take advantage of us?” A glimmer of rage flashed through Angus‘ eyes.

“What are you talking about, Angus? We’re the ones requesting Mister Wolf for his help, so don’t treat him with this attitude!” Vivian glared at her husband.

“I,” Angus opened his mouth to dispute this, but no words came out.

However, he was adamant that Leon was trying to take advantage of them by withholding the treasure, and thus his impression of Leon took a turn for the worst!

“Mister Wolf, this is a human life we’re talking about here. Please, I’m begging you. Can you lend us your treasure so we can save my daughter? We Thompsons will do everything in our power to fulfill any request you might have,” Vivian said earnestly. She was far more sincere than her husband ever could be.

“No, Missus Thompson, you’ve misunderstood what I meant. It’s not that I don’t want to lend you the treasure–it’s just that the treasure I have doesn’t harness Light Energy at all! It would not be of use to Miss Thompson at all even if I agreed to lend it to you!” Leon explained.

“No use? I think you’re just trying to trick us into giving you more!” Angus scoffed, confident that he saw right through Leon’s deceit.

“That’s not what I meant,” Leon sighed and could not help wondering if he would ever be able to convince these people otherwise.
