Chapter 977
However, Ruth was not the woman Leon loved at all and just his friend, so Harold was not entirely sure if
this would work.
“How dare you!” the color drained from Leon’s face. He never thought Harold would be so ruthless as to capture
Ruth instead when Iris was out of his reach!
Even though he and the Collins were just business partners, the only reason Ruth landed in Harold’s hands was
because she tried to save Iris, and there was no way Leon would stand by and watch while Harold
attacked her!
“Why don’t you find out by yourself?” Harold sneered. He could not help feeling relieved when he saw how

“There’s no need to scare anyone, Harold!” Ruth did not seem at all afraid and instead remained calm. “If you dare
to hurt me, my grandfather and the rest of the Collins will come after you!”
“The Collins? Do you think I care? Ruth, you’ve helped Leon time and time again and crossed me in the process–do
you honestly think I, Harold Lowe, will be afraid of you pesky Collins? Let me tell you this; since you crossed me
today, I’ll show you what it’s like to die here, and we’ll see what Collins can do about that!” Harold declared, his
eyes ablaze. If Ruth did not push Iris away at the last moment, he would not even be in
this situation now!
“You” Ruth could not help shuddering when she felt Harold’s menace. She knew that Harold was talking about
serious business and not just trying to scare her!
After all, the Lowes and the Youngs were just as powerful as her family, the Collins, and Harold schemed his
revenge on Leon for some time now.
On the contrary, she chose to intrude in Harold and Leon’s business, and this was the price she had to pay for being
a busybody.
Even if Harold stuck to his word and killed her, there was nothing the Collins could do!
“Leon, I’ll give you three seconds to let go of Jacob. If you don’t, I’ll first kill Ruth, then Iris and the rest!” Harold
declared curtly, his words piercing straight into Leon’s weakness.
He was the Northern King after all and saw plenty during his time. Even though Leon had his hands on Jacob, he,
too, held Leon’s friends hostage! The person who was patient enough to wait this out would win!
“Rats!” Leon’s heart sank at this. He was not as sly or deceitful as Harold, and he knew there was no way he could
outwit Harold at this. Now that Harold was prepared to kill Ruth, Leon immediately began to panic.

After all, he was not as ruthless as Harold and did not dare to use Ruth, Iris, and the rest of the hostages as pawns
in this gamble!
“One, two-” Harold started counting down.
“Wait!” Leon utterly despaired as the last glimmer of hope dissipated from his heart. He knew that as long as he
released Jacob, he would not walk out of this alive, but dying alone was a far better situation than sacrificing Ruth,
Iris, and the others‘ lives.
“Leon, no-” Ruth, Iris, and the rest fell into despair when they saw that Leon surrendered.
“Hahaha–you’re far too young to be playing this game against me, boy!” Harold burst into laughter as a glimmer of
triumph flashed across his face.
“Don’t get too excited, Harold!“
