you
“Mister Wolf, excuse my crudeness, but I hear from Snow and Fane that you have already attained the
Peak Innate State. Judging by how young you are, the only explanation as to how you could’ve
achieved that is must’ve learned your skills from someone far more powerful. Can I know who that is?”
Vincent asked, determined to get to the bottom of this.
“Um,” A sheepish look crossed Leon’s face. He could never reveal the truth to Vincent, especially not since it was the biggest secret he had to keep..
Snow could tell how reluctant Leon was to answer this and thus quickly came to his rescue. “Father, why are you asking so many questions? Are you interviewing him?”
“Um, I guess you’re right. It was inappropriate of me to do so.” Vincent smiled, but the truth was, he
was feeling a little displeased by this.
Leon was their guest, and usually, he did not like placing his guests in such awkward positions, but this

Fane boasted to him about Leon’s talent and powers the night before and even added that Leon and
Snow appeared to be great matches for each other. This struck Vincent with exactly the right nerve;
even since Snow experienced her first heartbreak, he was concerned about her future.
Even though Leon was an orphan, he was a smart and capable man and would suit Snow perfectly.
However, before this, he had to get to the bottom of Leon’s background lest his daughter gets hurt by
another undeserving man.
However, Leon’s reluctance to provide more information about his background disappointed Vincent
greatly.
“Fane, it’s already noon now. Get the servants to prepare lunch for our guest Mister Wolf,” Vincent
instructed, trying to suppress his displeasure.
His initially cheerful attitude toward Leon dampened down significantly.
All of a sudden, frantic footsteps rang out, and an old man dressed as a butler stormed into the room in
a panic.
“What happened, Mister Hendrix?” Fane asked, seeing the panicked look on the butler’s face.
“Masters, something terrible has happened. Missus Poole has collapsed.” the butler replied anxiously.
“What?” Vincent was so shocked by this that he immediately got out of his seat.
Snow and Fane were equally as astounded and leaped out of their chairs as well.
“Mister Hendrix, please contact Doctor Chase immediately. I’ll go check on Gloria immediately.” Vincent
instructed calmly.
“Yes, Sir.” The butler turned and scampered away.
Vincent, Fane, and Snow immediately sprinted toward the backyard. Leon hesitated for a moment, then
quickly followed behind them, intending to see what was going on. After all, he possessed simple
knowledge about medicine, so perhaps he would be able to help.

that
made her look like she was only in her thirties. Her features bore resemblance to Snow’s, as though
they were a pair of sisters.
However, something seemed amiss; her pale skin seemed tinted with a hint of duskiness, and she
appeared to be breathing rather feebly.
A nurse was taking care of her.
The three of them strode into the room, and Snow and Fane immediately stormed to the bedside.
“What happened, Mother? Please wake up,” they shouted frantically, but no response came.
Vincent, in contrast, seemed much calmer about the situation. He turned to stare at the nurse and
asked, Miss Woods, what happened?”
“I’m not too sure either. Missus Poole was just trying to get a drink of water, but she fainted out of
nowhere.”
