Valerie was not in K City. Her whereabouts were still unclear to them. Bryant had to work so after two days, he went back to Lexingport City.
On other hand, Leon wasn't in a hurry to go back. He stayed there for another week. As he didn't take his phone with him, nobody could get in touch with him.
The whole time, he blamed himself for what had happened. If it weren't for him, Baker and Valerie would've lived a happy life with each other. They wouldn't have quarreled so badly, and Baker wouldn't have slapped Valerie.
Both the Feng and Qin families were afraid to offend the royal family. All they could do was to let the poor couple live outside the island.
Because Baker had slapped Valerie, Leon dealt with his company and all Baker's efforts vanished overnight. But Baker didn't give up. He restarted his career.
And Leon didn't try to deal with him again.
As soon as Leon came back to Lexingport City, he asked Wynn to continue looking for Valerie.
Their initial plan was for Wynn to investigate for a month and then return to Lexingport City. However, Wynn had only stayed in the city for half a month after the last investigation. This made him furious.
He dragged Leon to the boxing gym and challenged him to a fight.
Compared to other people in the boxing gym, both Wynn and Leon looked weak and thin. However, what they lacked in physical prowess, they made up in ferocity. Their fighting prompted the once indifferent onlookers to watch them throw punches.
Wynn was the champion of fighting on C Island. He had been selected to become Leon's bodyguard since childhood. He received the most rigorous training and was taught by the most powerful fighter. Even though he suffered a lot, he came out of it as the ferocious fighter he was now. Even though he and Leon had the same teacher, Leon was nowhere near close his level.
Most of his lessons focused on fist and foot skills, which Leon didn't have. Leon had a lot to learn and had a full schedule every day.
Being a proud man, Leon didn't allow Wynn to let him win. At first, Wynn was afraid to win over Leon. However, after they had gotten to know each other, Wynn began to unleash his true strength. Since then, Leon had never won against him.
Just like always, Leon lost again. Lying on the floor, he sweated profusely as his chest weaved, trying to catch a gasp. The sweat drenched his hair.
"How could he lose?" someone from the crowd sighed. "Damn it; I thought he would win!"
Leon heard this and thought to himself, 'It would be a miracle if I won.'
"Are you okay?" Wynn looked down at Leon as he removed his gloves using his teeth.
"Yeah, I'm good," Leon said with a dry voice as he tried to smile.
"Are you feeling better now? It doesn't help that you didn't contact anyone for a week. It's better to vent it." Wynn took off his wet clothes, revealing his ripped physique. Although he looked thin, his abs were clearly defined.
Since he didn't have bulgy muscles, it went well with his cold and heroic features, creating an overall beautiful aesthetic for him, making people charmed and fascinated.
Leon noticed that someone outside the ring had their jaw slacked, almost salivating. He sat up and raised his eyebrows. "Stop showing off. Get dressed."
"You're just jealous. Get up and change your wet clothes. Don't you feel sticky wearing them?" Wynn clicked his tongue and reached out his hand for Leon to grab.
Once Leon was up, both of them went to the shower together. Once they were wearing clean clothes, they felt light and refreshed.
"Have you contacted Michelle? Have you told her that you're back?" Wynn asked as they walked out of the boxing gym.
Leon turned at him with a guilty look, implying that he had forgotten.
