"Miss Morrison, I''m sorry, but I have a reason to use a fake name. I didn''t mean to toy with you or lie to


    you. Please forgive me," Leon smiled and apologized.


    "Reason? What reason?" she asked in confusion.


    "Well," Leon hesitated.


    "Forget it if you don''t want to tell me," Renee was rather disappointed as she could not tell if he was


    lying or had a reason to hide his identity.


    "Well, I can tell you about it if you want to know. Part of my reason foring here is to search and


    track the Southern Boss down," Leon exined thoughtfully.


    He merely hid his identity to avoid alerting the Southern Boss. However, the circumstances changed.


    He already found the Southern Boss and since Felton exposed him earlier, he could conclude that the


    Southern Boss knew he was in the western region.


    Since everything was out in the open, it would not hurt for him to tell Renee the truth.


    "I see!" Realization dawned on Renee.


    She thought that Leon hid his identity to toy with the Morrisons and was displeased with him because


    of it.


    Now that she knew he did so to deal with the Southern Boss, her anger was appeased and the


    displeasure she felt toward Leon faded.


    "Leon, what will you do now? Felton already knows who you really are, and so do Gaston, Aurelia, and


    the others. It’ll be hard for you to keep your


    identity a secret from now on," Renee said thoughtfully.


    "It''s fine! Since my identity has been exposed, there''s no point in hiding anymore!" Leon said casually.


    Since the Southern Boss already knew that he was here, there was no reason for him to hide his


    identity.


    On top of that, he already found the Southern Boss''s whereabouts, and hiding his identity was no


    longer necessary.


    Besides, he came to the western region to find the Southern Boss and to expand Cynthion Group''s


    market.


    By the time a branch was established and he hosted a sales drive, he would eventually have to present


    himself as Leon.


    Therefore, he decided to abandon his identity as Hugh and begin to interact with others as Leon.


    It was bound to happen sooner orter.


    "Good!" Renee was relieved that this did not affect Leon.


    "Alright! Miss Morrison, let''s go shop for things needed to produce alchemical pills!" Leon changed the


    subject.


    "Sure! But we are kind of friends now, so can you stop calling me Miss Morrison? Just call me Renee,”


    Renee said.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She was curious about Leon and upon learning that Hugh was Leon, she felt closer to him as he felt


    more approachable.


    Yet, Leon kept addressing her formally and she felt annoyed by it.
