Chapter 967

Now that Gilbert finally saw Jonah’s true intentions, he was filled with regret. If only he just listened to Leon earlier, then he would not have fallen for Jonah’s trick!

“How did this happen?!”

Iris paled, and her heart sank.

She was like Gilbert, and trusted Jonah, not heeding Leon’s warnings that much.

Yet, reality smacked her right on the face!

At that moment, she really regretted not believing Leon earlier, but it was already too late!

“Gilbert, calm yourself for now! The two of us are still cousins in the end. Blood is thicker than water.

How could I harm you and Iris? Don’t worry, the Youngs and the Northern King are targeting Leon. As long as Iris and you don’t interfere, we won’t hurt the two of you!” Jonah said calmly.

“So I’m the one you want!” Leon’s expression darkened.

He wondered why the Youngs would be so cruel to Iris and Gilbert despite them being related by blood.

He finally understood, they were not the targets at all. Leon was the true target!

“That’s right! Leon, you sent yourself right to our doorstep today. Let’s see where you can run to!”

Harold laughed coldly.

Since the Collins were protecting Leon, he was not able to deal with Young directly, worried about them.

This time, he worked with Jonah to set up bait, wanting to use Gilbert to lure Leon over.

Yet, Leon and Gilbert both appeared here. They had ill–intentions toward the Youngs, which was reason enough for him and the Youngs to attack Leon!

In the end, he had a reason to eliminate Leon without hiding it. The Collins would not be able to do anything about it!

“Dad, you set up such a masterful bait this time! Leon actually fell for it!”

Jacob shot up a thumbs up beside Harold, not forgetting the flattery.

“Of course! That brat is still too young to go against me!” Harold laughed and said.

“Harold, what do you want? I’m warning you. Leon’s a friend of the Collins. If you do anything to him, the Collins won’t just stand by and watch!”

At that moment, Ruth’s expression was cold as she stepped forward.

“Ruth, you don’t have to use your family name against me! I don’t mind telling you this. Everyone else might be afraid of the Collins, but I’m not! Leon barged into the Young household himself. It’s within the rights of the Youngs to do with him as they please! If the Collins dare to forcibly interfere in this, then don’t blame me and the Youngs for being rude to you!” Harold sneered.

“That-”

Ruth was speechless.

Based on the rules of the martial world, sneaking into someone’s home was a big crime. The Collins could protect Leon, but they were not Leon’s pawns.

Leon committed a big crime against the Youngs. No matter what, the Collins could not interfere in the matter. Otherwise, it would do the Collins no good if the matter got bigger.

However, Ruth thought about it and quickly realized the problem with that.

“Harold, stop slandering us! Leon and I are just walking around nearby with Iris, admiring the night sky.

We’ve never even stepped into the Young household at all. When did you see Leon committing such a crime?”
