[You have increased your favorability in Su Lin's eyes while decreasing Seph Greymore's impression. You have gained 2 counterattack points.]
Leon looked up at the white ceiling, feeling weird about what transversed.
"Now what is this? Isn't this a cultivation world so why didn't they just give me a pill or panacea that can cure me easily?"Leon grumbled looking at the bandages on his stomach.
He planned to pretend unconscious so that Seph would let the matter go as villains generally don't bother with ants unless you crawl before them but Su Lin just made the matter bigger.
"The only positive thing about this whole incident is that Seph had yet to purchase medical skills. If he had grandmaster-level medical skills then he would have surely known that I was pretending which also means the divine doctor route hasn't started."
Out of all, Leon was only afraid of the Divine Doctor in a way.
"However, I am sure that Seph must have a hand in poisoning me along with that bitch."
Leon wasn't lazing around in the break. He had hacked his stepmother's along with her friend circle smartphones and installed spyware that also recorded her activity and tracked her.
He had been tracking her and found that she planned to get rid of him so that she could make her son inherit this after she gave birth to a boy.
Leon's mind started running wild with crazy thoughts.
"I hope this event is circulated in the society."
"It's going to be fun, hehe!"
"You are already awake."
Leon's smile cracked upon hearing a smooth pleasant voice.
"Miss Su, don't you have work or classes? Why are you here?"
"I just came to check you up."Su Lin answered with a slight blush.
During the check-up, she caught a glimpse of Leon's chiseled abs and muscular chest. Remembering this, her face heated up in shame.
'Stop it, Su Lin! He is your student.'
"I just came to check on you, Leon."
"I am fine and I have to go."Leon hastily pulled off the IV drips and got up.
"What are you doing? You need rest."Su Lin came close and held Leon's shoulder to push him back.
Sniff...Sniff
"You smell surprisingly pleasant," Leon nonchalantly sniffed Su Lin, making her blush.
"Stop playing around. You are behaving oddly. Previously you always followed around Ella and never dared to refute or speak even though she slapp..."
Su Lin's words stuck in her mouth feeling a bone-chilling gaze from Leon.
"She had even slapped me," Leon asked aloud as his eyes became darker than a black hole sucking a person's soul who looked at him.
He didn't have the memory of every second so he didn't remember this kid still licking her feet even after being slapped.
'Keke! It seems things have gotten personal.'
"Stop smiling like that."Su Lin knocked Leon's head, unable to stand that creepy smile.
"Do you have a split personality? Sometimes you behave like a normal guy while sometimes like a mad man?"
"I might have."Leon shrugged his shoulders, not bothering to waste time on these stupid questions.
"Miss Su, no need to look for trouble with Seph," Leon advised kindly as he knew the result.
"Why? I was about to file a complaint," Su Lin asked with a frown
Leon's lips twitched hearing this.
'You go there intending to create trouble then come back after becoming his wife. Pure souls are quite frightening once they blacken.'
'It's not as if it matters as in that case I need to rip one more head. It's quite simple.'
"Don't mess with him."
"But he is being too much. We need to do something about him."Su Lin pouted, feeling that Leon was reprimanding him.
"You can't. Greymore and Su's had an equal standing. Previously, Seph didn't show many prospects but now he is the star of society while you, in the end, are a woman. Your Su family won't back you up if you fall into trouble."
Su Lin frowned and was about to refute.
"Even if your father is the Patriarch that doesn't mean he owned the family. If he makes a wrong move, he will be thrown back. So don't meddle in my affairs anymore lest you bring yourself trouble. Also, let go of the principal for now. If I had power, I would have my revenge. If not, it's better to let it go."Leon's words softened a bit.
He patted Su Lin's shoulders and walked away.
It didn't matter if Su Lin looked for trouble but he didn't want her to fight for him and get harassed.
Su Lin glanced at Leon fading back.
It was desolate and lonesome making her pity him.
Leon's words rang in her mind and she realized that if she just pushed forward blindly might get troublesome.
"Am I just a helpless teacher?''She spoke softly but Leon managed to hear this.
Leon who heard this laughed in amusement.
'You aren't a helpless teacher but rather a helpless woman who will either fall for the protagonist or the villain. Death would be mercy for you as with that curvy voluptuous sinful body, none would bear to kill you and use your body to satisfy your lust either by love or by force.'
.......
In Aurorica.
A storm blew around, creating gusts of waves causing havoc in the house.
"Madam, calm down."
"Lady Irina, he is alright."
Irina's heart surged with emotions as he saw the pics in her hand.
It was a picture of her son Leon along with all the details of what her son had gone through after going back.
He became a drinker after breaking off the engagement. He spent his days in bars, pubs, and casinos to fill that void.
After enrolling, he finally found someone to fill his heart but a week after the girl's mother married her ex-husband and became Leon's mother.
Leon though heartbroken, still tried to make her fall in love with him as in big families marriages happen even though people are related by blood while his stepsister wasn't blood-related.
But this changed when Seph Greymore came into the picture. Offended by Leon's persistence, he beats him to death and throws him into the trash.
But Leon, who seemed to have gone crazy, refused to let go and the new stepmother used this as an advantage to throw him out.
There were pictures of slim, skinny Leon's miserable appearance that made his heart wrench in despair. Though he has recovered now, how can she let go of this?
And the private detective she hired to keep tabs on him reported to him about today's incident of Leon getting beaten again.
Irina who was lost in thought held the pic and was suddenly startled when the pic was snatched up.
"Brother…My brother…He is alive.."
