CHAPTER 604 THE PRESIDENT'S THREAT

Leo did not expect his casual remark to make Ariella laugh out loud.

Her smile seemed like the sun was shining in spring.

Even Leo couldn't help but look dumbfounded.

When a woman who was often unsmiling and cold and haughty suddenly smiled, the impact was

absolutely huge.

What was more, Ariella's classical and noble looks would have made her a proper voluptuous

concubine in ancient times.

And Ariella almost became his wife, and it would be a lie to say that Leo's heart did not flutter a little.

"What are you looking at?"

Noticing Leo's gaze, the smile on Ariella's face lasted for just a moment before disappearing without a

trace.

The previous image of high-mindedness and indifference continued to be restored.

Leo came back to his senses at this time, and a moment of embarrassment crossed his face,

"Nothing."

He had a family, and that he would be fascinated by looking at other women.

Leo was a bit overwhelmed.

Afterwards the two went in together.

The same two guards were still checking tickets at the gate.

But learning that Leo was Miss Spencer's friend, how could they dare to stand in the way?

Ariella gave only one ticket to go in.

But she did explain.

"He's the player representing the Spencer family in the tournament, so there's no need for a ticket."

"Okay ......"

Two security guards let them go straight away.

It took until they were a long way out to react.

"What did she just say?"

"A player representing the Spencer family?"

"So, what he said before is true, he really is the expert who fought in Spencer's place?"

The two guards were dumbfounded and a pang of fear in their hearts.

Earlier, Leo had said that he could get in without a ticket because he was a participant in the Northland

Conference.

Instead, they ended up drawing ridicule from them, and none of them believed it.

Now they were dumbfounded that they had almost offended a martial arts master!

It was important to know that every contestant who dared to participate in the Northland Conference

was very strong.

For what they thought, Ariella did not care, her mind was on Leo.

The two men were walking and not talking though.

But Ariella peeped at Leo, intentionally or unintentionally.

After all, he was the only man who could make her smile.

Yet, he belonged to someone else.

This was the point that Ariella regretted.

"Ariella, you're here, huh? I thought you'd be scared and not come!"

It was at this point that a familiar voice full of sarcasm came to ears.

Leo and Ariella followed the sound and saw that Cindy was already seated in the stands belonging to

the Spencer family, with a tub of melon seeds in front of her.

Unlike Ariella, who was carrying huge family pressure, the Northern Territory Conference, for her, was a

visit to enjoy a holiday.

She didn't know anything about martial arts, but it was a treat to bask in the sun, get high, and

occasionally watch the winners and losers on the tournament stage.

However, when she placed her eyes on Leo behind Ariella, her whole face changed.

"Leo? How did you ...... get in here?"

Cindy's eyes were full of incredulity, she had clearly instructed the security guard at the entrance not to

let Leo in.

But seeing Ariella standing side by side, she instantly understood and her expression turned sarcastic.

"Ariella, he's considered your ex-husband and you're still helping him so much."

Ariella did not get angry and casually sat down gracefully in her seat without glancing at her.

"My business is still out of your hands."

"You ......"

Seeing Ariella even ignore her, Cindy was furious.

But soon, a man of great strength came to Cindy's side.

It was Kingsley.

Then, Cindy burst out laughing again, "Ariella, just be complacent, the Northernland Conference is Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

about to start and you're still accomplishing nothing, it's me who have the Spencer family attend the

competition."

"Kingsley will get the place for the Spencer family, all is due to me, nothing to do with you!"

"I will definitely report this matter to Great Grandfather when I return, so you can just get out!"

"Hmph!"

Kingsley was like an iron tower, bringing a great oppressive aura.

He grunted heavily, and his gaze at Leo.

However, neither Leo nor Ariella was half-frightened or angry, still calm.

"Noisy, didn't Great Grandfather teach you that you should watch your language?"

Ariella responded flatly.

Cindy was stunned.

Cindy was somewhat no match for Ariella in arguing, so she simply stopped talking.

"When the Northernland Conference begins, there will be time for you to cry!"

Ariella still didn't have any panic, instead she looked at Leo and smiled slightly, "See you later!"

"See you later!"

Leo nodded and then walked towards where Lydia was.

On the side, Cindy was dumbfounded.

She instinctively thought of these two as having an affair.

"Lydia's husband wouldn't have an affair with Ariella, would he?"

Cindy froze.

It was nine o'clock sharp, one hour before the opening of the Northernland Conference.

"Daddy!"

As Leo had just returned to Lydia's position, Emilia shouted out and ran towards Leo.

Leo smiled as he picked her up, "Come on, give me a hug!"

Then he sat down next to Lydia.

"What took you so long?"

Lydia said somewhat reproachfully, "Everyone is here, just waiting for you."

Only then did Leo find that Caroline, William, Irene, and Marie had all arrived.

"Sorry, I got stuck in something and it took a while."

Leo explained.

Suddenly, his eyes flickered and he spotted two people who weren't supposed to be here.

Karl and Maisy.

They also spotted Leo, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes.

They did not expect that Leo had actually come in.

"Lydia, we'll leave."

Karl and Maisy intended to leave.

"Okay."

Lydia's tone was flat and she didn't get up to see them off.

"Why are the in-laws here?"

Leo asked Lydia.

This was a question that Lydia did not want to answer.

It was Marie who answered for Lydia.

"My parents are here to see my sister."

Marie seemed to be aware of the feud between Lydia and her parents, and smiled sarcastically.

Leo nodded and said, "Okay, I'm not a stingy person, don't worry, you're still my sister."

Marie was thrilled; her greatest fear was that Leo would alienate her because of her parents.

"Leo!"

Suddenly, an angry shout rang out, and everyone's eardrums were shaken to the core.

Leo narrowed his eyes and looked back, only to see Nathaniel with a group of people coming towards

this place in great numbers.

Here come the people from the Hopkins Martial Arts Association.

"What are you doing here?"

Leo narrowed his eyes and sized up Nathaniel and the others.

Lydia, Caroline and William all stood up, looking incredibly alert.

Behind Kingsley stood a large group of people.

They were dressed in either black or white martial arts uniforms, all of them with cold faces and

powerful auras.

Without a doubt, they were masters of the Hopkins Martial Arts Association.

The Northland Conference was a big event, so all the members of the Martial Arts Association came.

Standing together at this moment, they exude an aura of terror.

Even Lydia and Caroline, who did not know martial arts, felt a hint of danger, not to mention Leo.

"Leo, you killed a genius from my Martial Arts Association, there's no way we can just let this go. Our

grudge will be settled after the Northernland Conference!"

Nathaniel stared angrily at Leo, his voice grim and biting.

At these words, Lydia, Caroline and the others were all startled.

Because it was too shocking, Leo actually killed the genius of the Martial Arts Association?

Leo naturally knew that Nathaniel was talking about the young genius Billy who had been assassinated

by some unknown person.

His gaze suddenly went to an old man with gray hair behind him.

"Senior Cole, you already have the answer as to whether I killed your grandson or not, so why are you

still holding on to it?"

Leo was still sitting calmly in his seat, but his voice was loud.

That battle saw Leo crush Cole in a crushing defeat.

If it had been on the battlefield, Cole would have been dead in another instant.

So Cole knew that Leo could never be the murderer of his grandson.

But that was what he thought, not what the Association meant.

The dignity of the association was more important than Billy's life.

"President, the murderer of Billy is most likely not him ......"

Cole explained with a complex expression.

But he was angrily rebuked by Nathaniel.

"Shut the fuck up! Who else could it be if not him?"

Nathaniel looked at Cole angrily, "Cole, you have to understand, Cole is your grandson. Your grandson

was killed by someone, but you gave up taking revenge, can you live up to your grandson's spirit in

heaven? Have you ever lived up to your martial arts heart?"

Cole immediately lowered his head.

Leo narrowed his eyes slightly and a sharp edge flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that you, the Martial Arts Association, are planning to count this life on my head, are you?"

There was a touch of danger in Leo's tone.

If he did it, he would admit it openly, but if he didn't do it and someone else insisted on counting it

against him, he would show them what the consequence was.

"You're the one who killed him, you still want to argue?"

Nathaniel said morosely, "Remember, your life belongs to my Martial Arts Association."

At these words, Lydia and Caroline were all looking at Leo with worry.

Leo smiled and didn't give a damn about it.

How many people in the country could take his life?

"Nathaniel, who did you just say you were going to take the life of?"

At that moment, a low, murderous voice suddenly came from behind him.

Nathaniel's face changed slightly and he subconsciously turned back.

Wallace with a large group of men came towards this place with a killing intent in his eyes.

"Pearl Martial Arts Association?"

Nathaniel's pupils shrank slightly.

Wallace sneered, "Have you asked the Pearl Martial Arts Association if you want to take Mr. Cohen's

life?"
