"Kidnap Lydia Henderson?"

Wallace was so shocked by Leo's question that he held his breath.

He could feel the abrupt drop in temperature around him as well as the murderous aura he was getting from Leo.

Naturally, he remembered the kidnapping case that had caused a sensation in the city five years ago.

Once again, he answered truthfully. "To be honest, the Lawsons did come to me and promised me a hefty reward, but I rejected their offer. They were pretty unhappy with me because of it."

He gnashed his teeth and continued, "I might just be a gangster without much education, but I know what business dealings to steer clear of. Why would I kidnap Miss Henderson when she's done nothing to me?"

"I see..." Leo nodded and left it at that.

Wallace was a man of character and had integrity. If he was lying, Leo would be able to tell with just a look.

His silence made Wallace hesitate for a moment. Then, he asked tentatively, "Who's Miss Henderson to you?"

Leo's eyes turned cold. He glanced at him and said, "Don't ask what you don't need to know about."

Wallace shrank his neck and said, "Alright, sorry, I said too much."

When his men saw him act like a yes-man around Leo, they could not help staring at Leo. Just who was this young man who had managed to defeat their boss in just one round?

Then, a silence stretched between Leo and Wallace. The former chose not speak, while the latter didn't dare to ask further.

Redley was not the only top underground organization in Emerdale. Leo was just trying his luck when he asked about Lydia's kidnapping.

Suddenly, he asked, "Who did you learn your Lightning Boxing Technique from?"

Wallace was taken aback, but soon said in surprise, "I bought the manual on the black market at a high price about a year ago."

"Black market, huh?"

Leo nodded. Martial Maestro would never sell an important item like the manual for the Lightning Boxing Technique for money. The only possible culprits were his students.

But those students wouldn’t be foolish enough to sell the real thing. They would just sell a simplified version of the manual to trick unwitting buyers.

He did not point this out. Instead, he said, "If you have any questions about the Lightning Boxing Technique in the future, you can come to me."

He had formed quite a good impression of Wallace, so he decided to offer him some guidance.

"Really?!"

Wallace was overjoyed and even found it unbelievable. "Can I really ask you for advice?"

"Sure," Leo replied calmly. "But you have to make sure you pick your collaborators wisely. Oh, and it's not easy for you to carry on like this. It's time that you make your business legal."
